Chapter 80

The next morning, the sky was gloomy, but Zhang Xiaohua's mood was bright and sunny.

Early in the morning, Zhang Xiaohua arrived at the place where she practiced the horse stance last night. She thought happily in her heart that it was time to teach her boxing today.

After waiting for a while, He Tianshu came over. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was already standing there, he was very happy. He nodded and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you're really not bad. You woke up early. That's good, let's start today."

Zhang Xiaohua asked, "What boxing technique are you going to teach me today?"

He Tianshu was stunned, "Boxing technique?

Hehe, don't be in a hurry. First practice the horse stance well.

The horse stance is the foundation of boxing. If you don't practice the horse stance well, your lower body won't be stable. As the saying goes, 'If you want to practice martial arts, first practice the horse stance' or 'Practice the horse stance for three years'. Once your lower body is stable, it'll be easy to learn anything. "

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth wide, "What?

I have to practice the horse stance for three years? What else can I learn?

Right, what's the lower body? "

He Tianshu smiled and said, "Three years is just a metaphor, but it's also possible that you have to learn the horse stance while practicing boxing. Anyway, if you don't practice the horse stance well, it won't be easy to master boxing.

The lower part refers to the area below your waist. Only when your legs are stable can you not be at a disadvantage in a fight. Oh right, didn't you see how you punched me yesterday? Although you used a lot of strength, you didn't notice my legs, right? I used the horse stance at the last minute. Didn't you feel that I was standing very steadily yesterday? That's right.

If the lower body is floaty and your punch makes me retreat, you'll have the upper hand. If you continue to fight, you'll be suppressing me. If I want to take the upper hand and beat you, it'll be very difficult.

Do you understand? "

Zhang Xiaohua nodded as if she didn't fully understand. Then, she asked weakly, "Captain He, what's the upper hand?"

He Tianshu immediately assumed the horse stance and stood there firmly, saying, "That's a good question, but I won't answer it today. You'll slowly understand it in the future. Alright, let's begin today's lesson. Zhang Xiaohua, continue assuming the horse stance, the same stance I taught you yesterday. Continue. Of course, it's difficult at the beginning, but you must persevere. Don't think about slacking off. At the beginning, you only need to persevere for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Take a rest, then continue. If you can persevere for one or two months and persevere for a meal, or even better, then I can teach you fist techniques."

Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise, "Captain He, you said that I can hold it for a meal's time?"

He Tianshu nodded and asked curiously, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Practice," He Tianshu was to practice practice, "Captain He Tianshu's is," Master "

He Tianshu understood, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's breakfast or dinner. You have to do it to my satisfaction."

Zhang Xiaohua said resentfully, "Okay, I got it. I'll do the horse stance for you now."

With that, she faced the east, raised her head, and put her hands on her waist. She took the horse stance steadily.

He Tianshu smiled as he looked at Zhang Xiaohua's movements. He pointed out a few small mistakes, nodded, and praised, "Zhang Xiaohua, not bad. You still remember what I taught you yesterday. Let's see how long you can hold it. If you're tired, let me know and you can rest."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything after answering. Her eyes looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, as if she wanted to find the sun there.

He Tianshu also walked to the side and began his daily practice. At this time, the other three also came out and found a place to practice.

He Tianshu was practicing the Thousand Leaves Palm today. When he first started, he paid attention to Zhang Xiaohua and waited for him to say that he was tired so that he could let him rest first. But as he practiced, he started to focus on his own palm technique and put everything else to the back of his mind. The Thousand Leaves Palm was very complicated, and it took a lot of effort to practice it from beginning to end. He Tianshu didn't practice it often, so sometimes there would be some inconsistencies. But today, for some reason, from the first move to the last move, it was very smooth. When He Tianshu exhaled and finished, he heard a burst of cheers from the side. He couldn't help but feel a little smug, and thought, "This group of little brats, they can tell that my Thousand Leaves Palm has improved. How rare."

As he thought, he turned around and said, "You guys …" Halfway through, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Why?

There was no one around He Tianshu to watch. The three people were cheering at the place where Zhang Xiaohua was in the horse stance.

After He Tianshu finished practicing the Thousand Leaves Palm, he was already far away from where he was standing. Before he reached the place where Zhang Xiaohua was in the horse stance, he heard someone say from afar, "Do you dare to bet with me?

This Zhang Xiaohua can still stand for two meals. If you win, you have to wash my socks for three days. "

Another person said, "You're really shameless. How about this, I won't take advantage of you. I bet that Zhang Xiaohua can still stand for three meals. If you win, you have to wash my socks for two days."

The last person said to the other two with contempt, "You guys can forget about it. Look at the situation, Zhang Xiaohua can stand for an entire morning and still be fine. What's the point of betting?"

Then, the three people said in unison, "Zhang Xiaohua, you can do it. Zhang Xiaohua, you can do it."

He Tianshu walked closer and sternly scolded, "What are you guys doing? Why aren't you practicing?"

When the three people saw that He Tianshu had come, they all rushed forward and talked at once about what had happened.

It turned out that when the three of them came to practice, they had already seen Zhang Xiaohua in the horse stance, but they didn't pay much attention to it. After all, they had all practiced the horse stance before, so they didn't get too engrossed in the practice. The three of them secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaohua as they practiced, wanting to see how he would be unable to hold on and sit on the ground. But as they watched, they realized that something was wrong. Zhang Xiaohua wasn't like them when they first started practicing the horse stance, where the horse stance got lower and lower until he finally sat on the ground. Instead, he was in the same position and didn't move at all. It was as if he had been in the same position for three years. The three of them watched and stopped practicing. They looked at each other and gathered around Zhang Xiaohua to ask about Zhang Xiaohua's situation. Zhang Xiaohua continued to practice the horse stance while talking to them. His face wasn't red, his heart wasn't beating fast, and he wasn't even panting. He was actually as relaxed as sitting on a chair. When the three of them heard that Zhang Xiaohua was really practicing the horse stance for the second time, they really didn't know what to say. Since they couldn't say it out loud, they could only shout. The three of them cheered together.

He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua suspiciously, then looked at the three of them and asked, "Are you sure that Zhang Xiaohua didn't slack off?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

He Tianshu said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, you were also in the horse stance last night. You didn't slack off, right?

“

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, Captain He. I really didn't lie to you. I didn't slack off."

He Tianshu said solemnly, "Yes, I believe you, Xiaohua. By the way, are your legs sore now?

Are there any other parts of your body that don't suit you? "

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "It's fine, Captain He. My legs are a little sore, but there's nothing else on my body that's uncomfortable."

He Tianshu thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, if you were to stay in the horse stance the entire time, how long do you think you could stay in it?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "Probably until noon. I feel quite relaxed."

He Tianshu's expression changed and was about to say something when Zhang Xiaohua saw that He Tianshu's expression had changed. She quickly said, "Captain He, um, if I persevere a little longer, I can still stay in it for a little longer. It's not impossible for me to persevere until night time.

This way, you should be able to teach me martial arts. "

He Tianshu's expression became even more gloomy as he asked sternly, "Zhang Xiaohua, tell me the truth. Have you really never practiced martial arts before? Have you never practiced the horse stance before?"

Zhang Xiaohua was still in the horse stance and didn't dare to move. She said anxiously, "It's true, Captain He. Before I met you, I really didn't practice martial arts. This is the first time I've heard you talk about the horse stance."

He Tianshu thought for a moment and realized that it was true. When he was teaching yesterday, Zhang Xiaohua's movements were very stiff. She really didn't know how to do the horse stance. Moreover, if she had practiced martial arts before, there was no need to lie to him. Having a foundation was better than having no foundation at all.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across He Tianshu's mind like lightning, "Could this Zhang Xiaohua be a martial arts genius?!"

However, when he looked at Zhang Xiaohua's ordinary face, childish expression, and slightly thin figure, he couldn't associate her with the word 'genius' at all.

For the first time, He Tianshu doubted his own point of view, "Aren't all geniuses as handsome as me?"

Just as He Tianshu was thinking, someone beside him said, "Captain He, it's time to eat. Otherwise, it'll affect the morning's work."

He Tianshu nodded and said, "Okay, let's hurry to the dining hall. Work is more important. What's the length of those herbs? Everyone will be affected."

After he finished speaking, he led everyone into the small courtyard and rushed to the dining hall. Only Zhang Xiaohua, who was still in the horse stance, was left there crying and shouting, "Captain He, I'm hungry too. What should I do?"

He Tianshu, who had already run to the small courtyard, slapped his head and said, "I forgot about Zhang Xiaohua."

He quickly turned around and shouted, "Xiaohua ~ I'll let you pass. Hurry and eat. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it at night."

Zhang Xiaohua responded and stood up. She was as nimble as a rabbit, without the slightest pain in her waist and legs. She followed the four people and rushed to the dining hall.

In the dining hall, the people in green clothes and hats had already finished eating. When they saw Zhang Xiaohua rush in, everyone had a look of schadenfreude. When Zhang Xiaohua sat down and didn't pick up her chopsticks, Tian Zhongxi came over and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, I know you're young and growing. It's inevitable that you're sleepy, but you also have to know your limits. You can't be too late. I won't pursue this matter this time, but if you're so late next time, I'll deduct your wages.

Do you understand? "

Zhang Xiaohua wanted to explain, "I …"

Tian Zhongxi immediately said earnestly, "Don't say so many reasons. Being lazy is being lazy. Being late is being late. I've heard from Ma Jing. Don't find any excuses. I hope you can correct yourself in the future. If you correct yourself, you'll still be a good servant in Huanxi Manor."

Then, he patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder and walked away.

Zhang Xiaohua looked up at Ma Jing. That guy smiled at Zhang Xiaohua, threw down his chopsticks, and slipped out of the dining hall.

Zhang Xiaohua was disgusted. She thought, "Who did I provoke? I'm just a newcomer. I just want to practice martial arts. Why does this Ma Jing want to bully me?"
