The whole family traveled through time and became doctors, raised children and farmed in ancient tim

Xie Songlin gathered all the little ones in the family, even Xie Yong and the others were there, and the few little ones who were usually a little naughty also stood aside obediently.

Xie Songlin smiled, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Children, today I want to introduce you to a newly invited martial arts master."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the side and Wu Wei took a step forward.

Their eyes were fixed on Wu Wei, who stood tall and straight in front of them and exuded a sense of competence and heroism. They looked him up and down, unable to hide the excitement in their eyes.

Xie Songlin continued, "Master Wu is mainly here to teach Lin'er and Yong'er, but everyone else needs to train with me as well. Whether you like martial arts or not, you must practice the basics well. A healthy body is the foundation of everything. Learning a few moves will help you protect yourself when you encounter difficulties."

When Xie Yong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He was a strong man and had no interest in reading on weekdays. He would feel sleepy as soon as he saw those books. Now, he had a master who was specifically there to teach him and Xie Lin martial arts. He was extremely excited and hurriedly looked at Xie Lin beside him. Xie Lin also had a look of surprise on his face. They both saw the uncontrollable joy in each other's eyes.

"Yes! We understand, Dad!" Xie Lan replied.

"We understand!" The others also followed Xie Lan's response.

Wu Wei looked at this group of energetic children, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He took a step forward, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and said with full aura: "Children, my name is Wu Wei, you can call me Master Wu, from now on, I will lead you in martial arts training."

"Yes! Master Wu!" everyone shouted in unison.

Cheng Fei had previously set a time for martial arts practice with Xie Songlin. From then on, he asked Wu Wei to lead them in morning exercises for an hour every morning. The location was chosen to be an open space behind the Xie family's yard, and the residence arranged for Wu Wei was also arranged next to Cheng Fei.

Wu Wei demonstrated simple warm-up exercises. His movements were smooth and each posture was standard and neat. The boys from the Xie family followed him closely, their eyes full of curiosity and concentration.

"Come on, do as I do. Make fists, stretch your arms straight, and twist your waist left and right. Maintain your balance." Wu Wei said, slowing down his movements so they could see more clearly. Xie Lan and the others followed suit. Xie Yong put extra effort into his movements, his seriousness evident. Xie Lin, on the other hand, moved with a light touch, grasping the technique quickly and executing each movement with precision.

After the warm-up, Wu Wei began to teach them some basic horse stances: "Feet shoulder-width apart, knees bent, thighs parallel to the ground, back straight, hands clenched into fists at waist level."

While explaining, he moved among them and corrected their posture. Some people were unsteady and swaying, so Wu Wei patiently supported them and encouraged them softly.

Xie Yong relied on his great strength and regular exercise, so he felt easy at first. But not long after, he felt his legs sore. However, he gritted his teeth and persevered, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his master and brothers.

Everyone was struggling to practice basic skills on the first day. Cheng Fei came over at some point and stood aside to watch. When Wu Wei turned around and saw him, he subconsciously wanted to stop what he was doing and go over to salute Cheng Fei. Just as he took a step, Cheng Fei frowned slightly and shook his head gently. Wu Wei reacted instantly and stopped, immediately pretending that he didn't know his son.

In the following days, Wu Wei led the Xie family to start a methodical daily martial arts training. Every day, the shouts and footsteps of the Xie family practicing martial arts could be heard in the back of the yard.

Xie Wanxing was initially swept up in the martial arts craze and forced to come and practice for two days. On the first day, she was still curious and eager to try, following the others' movements. However, the rigors of training quickly eroded her remaining enthusiasm. On the second day, she began to find various excuses to slack off. On the third day, no matter how often Xie Lin knocked at her door in the morning, she would wrap herself tightly in the quilt, burying herself in the soft bed, and refusing to come out.

Cheng Fei sat lazily on the stone bench in the yard, watching Xie Lin jumping up and down in front of Xie Wanxing's door and knocking on his sister's door. The corners of his mouth raised and his eyes were full of smiles.

"Cousin, you go too." Seeing that he couldn't wake up his sister who was hiding in the house like a turtle, Xie Lin rolled his eyes and turned his target to Cheng Fei.

"Ahem." Cheng Fei was sipping his tea when he heard Xie Lin's words. He nearly spit out the tea in his mouth. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand and began coughing violently. After finally recovering, he said quickly, "Cousin Lin, I'm not feeling well. I won't go." He patted his chest as he spoke, a look of weakness on his face.

"Okay then. I'll go then." Xie Lin had no choice but to leave when he saw that he couldn't drag the two people away.

Hearing the sound of Xie Lin leaving, Xie Wanxing's door suddenly opened with a "creak" and she rushed out of the room. She looked around vigilantly at first, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Xie Lin had indeed disappeared.

"Cousin, how is your injury?" She walked over to sit next to Cheng Fei and asked with concern.

"It's okay. I think it will heal in a while." Cheng Fei's voice suddenly lowered, with a hint of melancholy, and he slowly said, "When the injury is healed, I should go back to Beijing."

Xie Wanxing was stunned when she heard this. The concerned expression on her face froze instantly. She opened her mouth slightly and it took a while for her to come back to her senses. She forced a smile, but that smile could not hide the disappointment in her eyes. "That's right. You haven't been home for so long. Your family must be worried."

Cheng Fei sat there quietly, and Tian did not answer.

In fact, why would he want to leave? During his time at the Xie family, he felt an unprecedented warmth and freedom. There were no intrigues or formalities like those in the capital. Instead, there was the unwavering bond between family members, a bond of unconditional trust and support. He also had a group of brothers his own age, laughing and playing around him. Despite his injuries, he found every day to be filled with joy.

But he is not Cheng Fei, and this borrowed time will eventually come to an end.

"Yes, it's time to go back." Cheng Fei's voice was a little hoarse and as low as the dull air. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat with difficulty, carrying with it helplessness and reluctance.
