"Starting today, we will begin real training."
Early in the morning, Lin Xue brought a few little kids to the riverbank.
Not far away are the sheep belonging to the Ka family.
"Teacher, are we going to start learning swordsmanship today?"
With his longsword in hand, he felt like a knight.
Although the sword is carved from wood.
"Teacher, if we all stay here to practice our swordsmanship, what if the sheep escape?"
This is Ka's younger brother, Stone, a naturally adorable little boy.
"You just need to focus on learning from me, and you don't need to worry about anything else!"
"The teacher guarantees that after you finish practicing swordsmanship, not a single sheep will be missing."
Lin Xue looked helplessly at the little boy. Unlike his brother, the boy was not enthusiastic about martial arts. His eyes kept glancing towards the sheep.
"If I learn powerful swordsmanship, I can herd more sheep, and then I won't have to worry about the sheep being stolen by wild animals and bad people, and I can better protect them."
Lin Xue felt that she should give the little boy some motivation, otherwise he would never be able to refocus his attention.
"Teacher, let's get started!"
“My parents got up very early to stew bear paws, as well as other parts of bear meat.”
"Dad said we can eat it when we get back after training."
Unlike his older and younger brothers, the only little girl didn't enjoy martial arts or animal husbandry; she was still thinking about the delicious bear paws.
Although none of them had ever eaten bear paws.
However, when her mother took her to town, she heard people say that the lords of wealthy families loved to eat bear paws.
I've heard that it's the most delicious food in the world.
Lin Xue didn't care much about the children's lack of organization and discipline, since she would only be staying there for a few days and would leave soon.
It is said that the master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you.
As long as she teaches diligently, how much these children can learn depends on their own talent.
"Now, let's start learning together!"
Lin Xue raised the long sword in her hand, gripped it tightly, and then made a diagonal slashing motion.
They weren't taught overly complex sword techniques, but rather the most basic moves.
They also developed a set of mnemonic devices to help these children quickly and skillfully master the techniques.
Chop, stab, point, strike, hit, lift, flick;
Chop, intercept, support, press, hang, slice, flick;
Pull, thread, press, cloud, wipe, frame, sweep;
Bring, pull, block, hold, push, rub, twist.
After teaching them the sword moves, practicing them together with this set of incantations will help them memorize them quickly.
Once these sword moves are memorized, and combined with the sword manual, the children can practice according to the incantations and the manual even after she leaves.
Lin Xue kept an eye on the children's cultivation while watching the flock of sheep grazing in the distance.
The stream was very clear, reflecting the children's diligent figures.
"Cut!"
"Miss Xue, the food is ready!"
Around noon, the hostess came over with a basket and called them back for lunch.
They usually wouldn't go back this early because the family had prepared a lot of delicious food today, and they didn't get to eat the mutton from last night because their grandmother was sober.
Adding to the problem was the grizzly bears, which made everyone lose their appetite for cooking.
So the male and female owners got up early and started dealing with the sheep and grizzly bear that they had already cleaned up the night before.
With these two types of meat, the hostess's culinary skills can also be well showcased.
To show his respect, the male homeowner even went to find the village chief.
Although each household in this place lives far away from the others, they have a village head.
The village chief was an old man in his eighties with a white beard.
Although he is very, very old, he looks very energetic.
In addition to inviting the village chief's family, we also invited several families we were on good terms with.
Of course, when these villagers came, they also brought gifts and delicious homemade food.
A long table was set up in the yard, and plates of food were placed on it.
People here like to chop meat into large pieces and then boil, stew, or roast it.
When Lin Xue and the others returned, they smelled the aroma of meat filling the courtyard.
There were also apple pies, juices, and various delicate pastries brought by the neighbors.
Besides food, there was also a lot of wine on the table.
The people here don't seem to brew spirits; they drink this kind of natural fruit wine.
When Lin Xue and the others returned, they were warmly invited to sit down at the table.
The group chatted and ate as if it were a regular gathering.
Several children sat around Lin Xue; their grandmother had returned to her kind and gentle self.
"I really want to thank Ms. Xue for your help this time!"
"It was just bad luck of mine. When I went to pick berries in the forest, I ran into a strange witch."
“She asked me for berries, and I gave her some at first. But she was still not satisfied and kept asking me for more.”
"To protect the fruits of my labor, I firmly refused her. I never expected that she would hold a grudge and curse me!"
Grandma Ka felt a lingering fear when she thought about what happened.
Unexpectedly, she encountered a very wicked witch.
After returning home, she became irritable and easily angered, often throwing things and verbally abusing her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren with vicious words.
Although the old woman's condition at the time was due to the influence of the curse, she still remembered what she had said.
"Children!"
"I hope you can forgive the mistakes I made before. Please believe that I love you!"
