Miaomiao just started school last week. The school organized an activity on the weekend. Miaomiao just showed her face at the martial arts school and explained the situation to the old master, and then was taken away by Lin Yao.
Miaomiao knew that she could only go to the martial arts school on weekends. She had been looking forward to it day and night. During this period, she had said more than once that she should go there early on weekends.
Anyway, it would take some time to choose a school and go through the enrollment procedures. Lin Yao果断 threw the little girl to the martial arts school, letting her have a free rein.
When they arrived at the martial arts school, the old master took the little girl to the training ground. He gave a light cough, and the students immediately stopped their movements and stood in a row, quietly waiting for the old master to speak.
"Cough, cough. This is your little junior sister. Her name is Lin Miaomiao. Chenghua, come here. Miaomiao will be under your care. First teach her some basics, and follow the previous training plan." The old master handed Miaomiao over to a young man.
This young man looked a bit rugged. With a straight face, he seemed rather fierce. If an ordinary child saw such a brother, they would probably be scared into crying loudly.
Miaomiao obediently took the young man's hand. Seeing that the little girl showed no reaction, the old master nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is your senior brother."
"Hello, senior brother." Miaomiao looked up and called out to the young man in a milky voice.
The young man immediately broke into a smile and replied, "Hello, little junior sister."
The young man looked a bit silly when he smiled, instantly breaking his fierce appearance. Miaomiao suddenly remembered that her senior brother in her father's mountain villa was also like this, and she immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
The old master waved his hand, asking the senior brother to take Miaomiao away for training, and then left the training ground with his hands behind his back.
The little girl blinked her eyes at the senior brother in front of her and waited obediently for him to speak.
Facing such a young girl for the first time, the senior brother was also a bit at a loss. After recalling what the master had said, he said, "Little junior sister, you first run around the training ground four times. If you can't run anymore, just tell senior brother."
"Okay."
The little girl nodded. In order to come to the martial arts school this morning, Miaomiao had never skipped her morning exercise before.
It was just the right time to stretch her muscles and bones.
Miaomiao lifted her legs, shrugged her ankle joints and elbows, and started running around the training ground.
The other senior brothers and sisters also stopped their movements and watched the little girl run intently.
There was no way. All of them were teenagers in their late teens. Suddenly, such a little chubby girl came, and they were all a bit curious.
The old master's standard for accepting apprentices was rather strict. Before accepting an apprentice, he had to check the apprentice's patience and love for martial arts.
Moreover, the old master only accepted children between the ages of five and ten. With the progress of the times over the years, people's lives had become better and better. Generally, no parents were willing to send their children to the martial arts school to endure this kind of hardship.
After all, in the eyes of adults, martial arts was just like painting and dancing, purely for interest cultivation and physical fitness. There was no need to study it so intensively.
Moreover, there were simply too many such tutoring classes outside.
There were taekwondo, karate, and free fighting. You could sign up as long as you paid the money. There were a lot of options.
The old master stubbornly adhered to his own rules and would never break them for any reason.
Over the years, except for these few apprentices of his, the old master had never accepted any other students.
The tuition fee for the students was not high, only 300 yuan a month. For families in difficulty, the master simply didn't charge at all.
So over the years, the expenses of the martial arts school had basically relied on the money the old master had earned when he was young.
The appearance of the little girl Miaomiao really surprised them.
Except for the old master's granddaughter, who was the only girl in the whole martial arts school, all the other girls who had wanted to learn before had been scared away.
Moreover, Miaomiao was only four and a half years old this year, which did not meet the old master's standard for accepting apprentices.
They were really curious about what kind of ability Miaomiao had that could make the old master abandon his own rules and accept her as an apprentice.
The training ground was much smaller than the garden in the residential area. Miaomiao finished the four laps arranged by the senior brother in just a few minutes. After she finished, she was neither out of breath nor sweating.
It was already quite good for a four - year - old child to have such physical strength.
The senior brother nodded slightly and secretly admired in his heart.
The master's judgment was really right. The little girl was indeed a promising talent.
"Okay, the warm - up is enough. Now we're going to practice horse - stance. Little junior sister, watch carefully. Senior brother will do it in front, and you just follow."
The senior brother grinned and took a standard horse - stance with his back to the little girl.
The little girl nodded. She was all too familiar with this set of basic routines.
After a while, the senior brother wanted to turn around to correct the little girl's posture. He had expected to see a wobbly little chubby girl when he turned around and that he would have to save the situation as a senior brother.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, the little girl's horse - stance was even more stable than his.
"Little junior sister, have you practiced before?" The senior brother was a bit stunned and asked after a while.
"Yeah." Miaomiao nodded.
There was another reason why she was attracted when she first came here. That was the moves and martial arts the senior brothers practiced. She had never seen them before.
The punches that seemed rather weak actually carried a gust of wind when thrown out.
Each movement was rather graceful, more like a dance, but there was an indescribable power in it.
The little girl wracked her brains but couldn't think of which school this martial art belonged to.
Miaomiao was extremely curious about new martial arts. She never thought that she could learn this new martial art, which made her extremely happy.
"Ah? Well, in that case, let's start learning the basic moves." The senior brother nodded blankly, feeling quite puzzled in his heart.
When on earth did this little junior sister start learning martial arts? Her stance seemed more stable than that of their youngest junior brother.
You know, their youngest junior brother was already sixteen years old.
Hearing this, Miaomiao immediately perked up. She nodded excitedly, and her eyes shone with a thirst for knowledge.
Stared at by such eyes, the senior brother instantly felt that if he didn't teach well or teach properly, he might as well dig a hole and bury himself.
"Watch carefully."
The senior brother quickly got into position and entered the teaching state, for fear of wasting a single second of the little girl's time.
After demonstrating a set of movements, the senior brother turned around and asked, "Remember?"
Before the little girl could answer, he continued, "It's very simple. There's a mantra for the basic moves: 'A big watermelon, split it into two. One for you, one for him.'"
"I remember." Miaomiao nodded and replied loudly.
The senior brother thought that the little girl had just remembered the mantra. He nodded casually without paying too much attention and planned to let Miaomiao practice once first and then correct her.
"Then practice once first. Let me see how much you've remembered."
"Okay!~"
