Su Xingran felt a pang of sadness seeing this. A soldier who was determined to defend his country and fight bravely on the battlefield was forced to take off his beloved uniform due to health reasons. He must have felt bitter and lost, suddenly losing his motivation and ideals.
"Uncle Duan, I will definitely learn martial arts from you properly and won't let you down." Su Xingran silently added in her heart, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I can become a military doctor and continue Uncle Duan's military will." Su Xingran didn't know if she was thinking the same thing, but she believed in the will of Duan Yuming, as well as the will of her master Huang Zhenhua and her master's wife Gu Qingxiao.
When her master later told her about her identity and background, she realized how heavy the burden on her shoulders was, how great her master's expectations were, how much she needed to do, and how many people she couldn't let down.
Alright, alright, you'd better study hard and not embarrass me. You're still in school, so from now on, when you have weekends off, come to your master to learn medicine and spend two hours learning martial arts. Su girl, how about this?
Okay, I do it every morning. I get up and go for a run before going to school. Su Xingran felt she should tell Uncle Duan about her situation. Effective exercise would improve her physical condition much faster.
"You still have this habit? That's a good habit. To practice martial arts, you first need sufficient strength, endurance, and good flexibility in your joints. Only by practicing like this will you have offensive and defensive capabilities." Duan Yuming felt it was necessary to devise a suitable physical training program for Su Xingran.
Dr. Huang, seeing the two discussing martial arts, one with shining eyes and the other full of enthusiasm, thought, "Well, they've found a shared hobby. Good, the older one can keep busy and forget some of his pain and suffering, and the younger one can learn self-defense skills to protect himself from being bullied."
At noon, Su Xingran cooked lunch. The vegetables were bought by Doctor Huang from town that morning: pork belly, a fish, and some vegetables grown in the yard. Duan Yuming, who had never eaten Su Xingran's cooking before, nodded repeatedly after eating. "Su girl's cooking is really delicious. Uncle Huang is so lucky!"
When Su Xingran returned home that evening, she told her parents about her desire to learn martial arts. Her father asked her who she would learn from. Apart from the soldiers in the village, the only other person in the village who knew proper martial arts was the elderly village chief.
Dad, I'm learning martial arts from Uncle Duan, who's a retired soldier. I'm currently living at my master's house. I went to his house today and saw him. My master learned from the village chief about how I almost got tricked, and he was worried about me, so he asked me if I wanted to learn martial arts to protect myself.
I think that makes sense. Having the ability to protect myself will make it easier to go out in the future. Uncle Duan said he could teach me. When I went to my master's house to learn medicine, I would take two hours to learn martial arts. He designed a physical training plan for me, and I would get up every morning and train according to his plan.
"Ranran, aren't you tired? You have to go to school, study medicine, and now you have to learn martial arts too." Su's mother was a little worried that Su Xingran's body couldn't handle it. So many things at such a young age, she has to be busier than an adult.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll balance work and rest. I'll rest when I'm tired. I won't overwork myself." Su Xingran hoped that her life would become more and more fulfilling, and that every day would be meaningful.
