An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Tang Shuang and Chun Tao are on duty in the East House in shifts. They are responsible for waking up Jing Chunxi a moment before the hour of Mao every day to ensure that she is dressed neatly and goes out on time.

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month,

The day after Tao Jin and his two companions arrived, the children's weighted running training began.

"Sister Xi, run three laps around the main road of the village. Silang, you lead the others to run three laps around the small road at the edge of the village. Don't be lazy, or you will be fined two more laps."

"it is good!"

Silang answered promptly and concisely as he received the order. Usually, he would take the lead whenever his elder brother was around. Now that he had finally won once, he felt relieved.

Jing Chunxi needs to carry a kilogram of weight on each calf.

Silang led a group of children including Dalang, Sanlang, and Heizi. Some of them were from the Jing family, and some were Silang's friends. They had made an appointment last night.

Most of them did not need to carry any weight. Dalang carried three pounds, Sanlang carried one pound, and Silang and Heizi carried two pounds. They carried whatever weight they wanted voluntarily and there was no compulsion.

Jing Chunxi hadn't run a few dozen steps when she felt something was wrong. Could he have just let her run alone on this dark village road? Tao Jin was so abominable. He had no sympathy for a woman. He should have at least found her a companion, even if it meant leaving Heizi behind. He should have pulled the icing earlier.

After getting used to the darkness, she could only tell where the road was. As she ran, she became scared and slowed down her pace. She even wanted to give up.

Jing Chunxi: Damn it, if it’s all like this... But... I still want to learn.

She cursed inwardly, "Heizi, are you that capable? How old are you? Going with those big troops? Aren't you afraid of being exhausted to death?"

Tao Jin, you are ungrateful. At least I left all three of you here. You will not die a good death.

……

"Run! Don't try to be lazy."

The familiar voice behind her finally calmed Jing Chunxi's frightened and confused heart. It turned out that she was not the only one who persisted on this road.

Hearing this voice, she was no longer afraid. She gritted her teeth and rushed forward quickly, only showing Tao Jin her back. She didn't want him to see her cowardice just now, and she also wanted to stay away from him out of spite.

"The way you're running now, you'll have to lie down after a few hundred steps. You should run at a steady pace throughout. There's no point in trying to be fast for a moment." His voice was cold and cold, not at all like that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. But Jing Chunxi obeyed. Who could say he knew Qinggong? Who could say he had experience? She was a rookie and could only accept her fate.

Jing Chunxi, who was running in front, didn't feel the footsteps behind him at all, but he knew that he was not far away and would not leave without a reason. Jing Chunxi gritted his teeth again and secretly hated: If I practice Qinggong well, I will not be a human being.

Even though he was told to only run along the main village road, a lap less than Shilang and the others, Jing Chunxi was still too weak. After running half a lap, he was exhausted and felt like his calves were about to cramp. He cursed inwardly: "Why are you asking me to carry heavy loads at the beginning of this training? Can't I give her a few days to get used to it? Do you think I'm as long-legged as you?"

Even if you can't run anymore, you have to keep running, otherwise the loud shout from behind will come again. After running a short distance, your calves can't move at all, and you can't even lift your feet. You are almost dragging yourself.

But as soon as I slowed down, the stern voice behind me came again: "Hold on, keep running forward, run another 200 steps and your secondary force will come back, and you won't be so tired anymore."

Jing Chunxi cursed inwardly: "I don't believe you. Do you really think there's some kind of supernatural power? Secondary force? Why not just say second dimension?"

But no matter how much she was scolded or how tired she was, Jing Chunxi continued to run forward. She didn't want to give up on the first day of training and be laughed at. The main reason was that if she didn't have the endurance, no one would approve of what she wanted to do in the future. She was not used to being hugged by her grandmother and being called "heart and honey". It was so embarrassing.

But after a while she felt different. Just as Tao Jin said, she didn't feel so tired after running a lap. Instead, she felt even more relaxed than the first lap. She gradually adapted to the feeling of running at a constant speed and lifting her hips forward, and even her breathing became smoother.

But starting from the third lap, she felt her strength was insufficient. The sandbags tied to her legs felt heavier and heavier, as if they were not just a pound, but a thousand pounds. She could hardly move her feet again and began to stumble, nearly falling forward several times.

She also began to feel lazy and even thought to herself: I won’t run away anymore, never again, even if I die here, I won’t run away, I’ll just die.

She really wanted to just sit on the ground and never get up again.

"You want to climb walls and jump over rooftops? You can't even be a clown. From tomorrow on, just sleep in! Miss."

The same mocking and disdainful tone as before came back, just like the first time they met on the road to exile, full of contempt and disdain for girls, as if his mother was not a woman.

The voice was clearly right next to my ear, but I couldn't hear his footsteps at all. I didn't know how far away he was, but he spoke without even breathing, which was really infuriating.

This made Jing Chunxi so angry that he felt like he could boil water.

Jing Chunxi was still staggering as she ran. She was not pretending. She was really out of strength and felt like she was about to die.

Tao Jin: "Only people like me would think that you really want to learn, Miss."

Jingchun is so cheerful!

Tao Jin: "I got up in the middle of the night to run with you."

Jing Chunxi was angry: Are you running? You are flying!

"It's easier to drive pigs than you!"

Jingchun is so cheerful!

"You will only be chopped to death by others."

……

He keeps talking and never says a good word.

Jing Chunxi never wanted to get close to such a negative person again.

Run! I run!

Stay away from such scum and don't listen to such voices.

Run! I run!

That’s how it was. I ran the last lap in anger, so much so that I forgot how tired I was.

Jing Chunxi finally won the three laps on the first day with great difficulty. He was tired and angry, but he also felt a little lucky. At least he didn't give up. If he kept going like this, persistence would lead to victory.

After returning to the main courtyard and walking around the patio and up a few steps, Jing Chunxi sat down on the half-foot-high threshold of the main hall, then leaned his back against the carved door and lay motionless with his eyes closed.

Tired! So tired, I've never felt this way in my life.

"You can't sit down right after exercising. Keep walking forward, slowly, to the backyard, and then stroll around the back garden a few times."

Jing Chunxi didn't move or answer. Tao Jin was so annoying. She had already completed the task, so why was he still interfering? Was he afraid that she would die sooner?

Frosting had already prepared hot water, what should she do if she wanted to carry the young lady back to the house?

She lowered her voice as much as she could and said to Tao Jin cautiously, "The young lady is sweating profusely, so you should wipe her off first and then let her take a hot bath."

At this time, Young Master Tao looked a little scared, even Tang Shuang.

Anyway, Jing Chunxi just wouldn't move, and she thought so too. The wet clothes stuck to her body and it was very uncomfortable. She had to take a shower and have a good sleep, preferably without waking up.

"go!"

Jing Chunxi didn't expect Tao Jin to be serious. He took a few steps forward and picked her up like a chicken.

That’s right, I really carried it!

"What are you doing! What are you doing! Let me go." Jing Chunxi suddenly left the ground, struggled and kicked him twice. She was so angry that she pulled and tugged at him. Is she shameless?

"If you don't want to die suddenly, walk faster. Don't stop right after running. Walk until you feel less tired and your breathing becomes steady before you rest."

The hands that were holding her did not let go, but instead clamped her armpits and dragged her to force her to walk to the backyard.

The two of them were making so much noise that Jing Chunxi felt someone was opening the door and peeping all the way. Even when he was being dragged away at the beginning, there was movement at the door of the east room. It must be that his grandfather knew about it and didn't stop it.

She was so embarrassed. If her grandmother had woken up, she would definitely not be as hard-hearted as her grandfather. She would definitely come out to protect her and give Tao Jin a good beating.

"Let me go, I can walk by myself." Jing Chunxi broke free from the hand that was pinching her armpit, and walked forward in a huff. Unexpectedly, her legs were still weak, and she suddenly stumbled and fell forward.

"You're only capable of this, and yet you dare to be angry?" Her body, which was about to fall, was lifted up by the collar. He then changed his gesture to support one of her arms and slowly led her to the backyard. From behind, it seemed as he said, they were moving forward at a steady pace, neither fast nor slow.

She was supported and walked to the backyard. Only when he saw that she was no longer breathing so hard did Tao Jin let go of her hand.

But he stood there, staring at her back, his arms folded across his chest, still urging her: "Come on, just walk around the garden, like an old woman, slowly and leisurely."

Jing Chunxi: You are the old woman, your whole family is old women.

Frosting was worried and followed in. Seeing the young lady being urged around like a monkey, she wanted to go up and help her.

Tao Jin shouted again, "It's no use asking for help. Do it yourself. It takes time to learn. You have to get used to it. Who will help you climb the wall in the future?"

Then he ordered Tang Shuang: "Remember, let your young lady change into dry clothes and rest for two cups of tea before taking a bath."

Then he said sternly, "If you feel unwell in the future, don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

Gone! Leaving behind a few harsh words, he left without a care in the world.

Jing Chunxi was so angry that he leaned against the rabbit cage and gasped, but he could not find any words to scold him.

But where Jing Chunxi couldn't see, someone caught Chuntao and said, "When your young lady goes to bed later, help her massage her calves, otherwise she will be in pain tomorrow."

For three consecutive days, Jing Chunxi would run back and take a bath and sleep from morning to noon, without even eating breakfast and not feeling hungry.

But fortunately, although his back and waist ached, he did not limp like Saburo and Silang.

The old lady was so distressed that she really wanted to persuade her not to learn any useless light skills. However, when she thought about what she said would be useful in the capital, and the old man also said that it would at least allow her to protect herself, she swallowed the words back.

I only hated why I couldn't protect her in the capital.

Silang was in pain and happy at the same time, and he enjoyed running very much. For several days in a row, he ran three laps around the entire village. This was because he believed what Grandpa Xiaobei said, that he was a good candidate for practicing Qinggong, and that he was the only one among his four grandsons who had learned Qinggong. He thought he was capable, and no one would look down on him or say he was incompetent anymore.

However, the only ones who could keep running with him were Dalang and Heizi.

Sanlang collapsed from exhaustion after running only one lap. The other children also ran one or two laps, but they didn't dare to talk about practicing Qinggong anymore.

However, Dalang later gave them a death order that each of them must at least run a lap. Regardless of whether they could learn martial arts in the future, at least they could strengthen their bodies so that they would not be bullied by the villagers and then cry for help.

Silang was ultimately unable to surpass Dalang, as everyone else listened to Dalang and ignored his words.

Xiaotuanzi and Qiaoqiao's weighted running plan was still implemented, but the morning run was changed to the afternoon run. They still tied two small sandbags, and the running distance was not enough to reach the pier. It was just a short distance in front of their home. Moreover, they worked hard for three days and dried the net for two days.

However, their persistence attracted many children from the neighborhood in the village, and when the children went back to beg their parents to make small sandbags for them, many of them were slapped on the buttocks.
