Tianyun City, Ximen Fitness and Entertainment Center, Swordsmanship Practice Room on the Third Floor.
Comrade Xu was sitting at the table drinking tea, but his eyes were looking at a pair of children not far away who were sparring with wooden swords - Xu Anan and Xu Le.
Tongdao Xu today is naturally much more mature than he was ten years ago.
After all these years, he still has short hair and a mustache. His figure has not changed much, but his eyes are a little deeper than they were ten years ago.
In other words, vicissitudes of life.
He has been a man for two lifetimes, and although he is still a few years away from turning forty, his mental age is already old.
Xu Anan and Xu Le, who were practicing swordsmanship not far away, were now adults.
At least in terms of height, there is not much difference with adults.
Xu Anan, who has been active since she was a child, is still very slender after all these years, with a height of more than 1.7 meters by visual inspection. She is slim and graceful. But at this time, she is competing with her brother in a sword fight, but she is very agile.
She draws her sword and changes her moves, always very quickly.
In terms of reaction speed, he is far superior to his younger brother Xu Le.
However, the sword competition between the two siblings was indistinguishable for a while.
Although Xu Le's reaction speed is much slower than that of his sister, he brakes quietly, and the wooden sword in his hand is always close to block his sister Xu An'an's attack, and he avoids it by constantly changing his steps such as hind legs and turning sideways.
Xu Anan's constant attacks.
Although Xu Anan's moves were extremely fast, he was unable to break Xu Le's defense for a while.
Ten years later, Xu Le is now about 1.7 meters tall. Although he is a little shorter than Xu Anan, he was fat when he was a child, but he is strong when he grows up.
He is not as fast as his sister, but he is much stronger than her in terms of strength.
Therefore, although he was defending, and although his sword was much slower and his movements were much slower, every time the wooden sword in his hand hit the wooden sword of his sister's attack, he could immediately swing away her wooden sword.
In ten years, Xu Tongdao taught all the Yang family swordsmanship he had acquired to his own pair of children and... his younger brother's son Xu Jian.
At this moment, Xu Jian was sitting opposite Tongdao Xu. He also had a teacup in his hand, but he did not reach out to touch it.
A few minutes passed.
The duel on the court finally decided the winner.
Just like the result of every previous duel, Xu Anan, as the elder sister, won again.
The wooden sword in Xu Le's hand was swung away, and the tip of the wooden sword in Xu Anan's hand was pointed in front of Xu Le's throat.
Xu Anan, who had won again, raised her chin proudly, with a proud look on her face, while Xu Le, who had lost again, slumped his shoulders and sighed in frustration, looking helplessly at the sister who had been suppressing him since she was a child and could beat him in everything she did.
"How's it going? Are you convinced?"
Xu Anan asked habitually.
Xu Le habitually turned around and said to his cousin Xu Jian: "Ajian, it's your turn, come on!"
Xu Jian is younger than Xu Le and can only be considered half a teenager now, but his father Xu Tonglu's height of over 1.9 meters seems to have been inherited from him.
Xu Jian, who is still in junior high school, has a childish look on his face, but is nearly 1.7 meters tall, almost the same as Xu Le.
Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and strode towards the field. When he passed by the sword stand, he reached out and took out a wooden sword.
With a serious expression, he gave a sword salute to his sister Xu Anan, "Sister, please be merciful!"
Xu Anan raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him sideways, and said with a smile: "Then let's see if you dare to play tricks today. If you still dare to play tricks, then don't blame my sister for being ruthless."
Xu Jian looked at his sister dumbly with a serious expression. Ever since he also learned swordsmanship from his uncle Xu Tongdao, especially since he also started to compete with his brother and sister, because of his young age, his physical fitness and the time to practice swords are not as good as those of his brother.
Sister, this kid has gradually developed the habit of playing tricks and underhanded moves every time he competes with swords.
Otherwise, he always feels that he has no chance of winning.
Even so, he was still defeated by his sister Xu Anan's sword every time.
He can occasionally beat Xu Le.
Probably because of this, Xu Le has been looking forward to when this boy can beat his sister once and vent his anger for him.
tableside.
Comrade Xu squinted as his nephew Xu Jian and his daughter Xu Anan began to compete with each other with swords.
Seeing his thick-browed nephew Xu Jian always trying to sneak up on Xu Anan with tricks, Comrade Xu was still a little speechless even though he had long been used to it.
Anyone who takes a look at Xu Jian's thick eyebrows and big eyes will think that this guy has an upright character.
In fact, that's not the case at all.
Maybe it's because he grew up being "bullyed" intentionally or unintentionally by his older brother and older sister. Anyway, this kid's personality has been a little off track since he was a child.
He always likes to play tricks and has never developed an upright character.
In this regard, whether it is Xu Tongdao, Xu Tonglu, Shen Tuqing and others, they have worked hard to educate him over the years, hoping to change this kid's character.
but……
Useless!
As time goes by, as this kid grows bigger and bigger, he has more and more evil thoughts.
Telling lies with a serious expression is the basic operation of this kid.
pity……
Facing his sister Xu An'an, who he grew up with since childhood, Xu Jian's petty attitude always seems to be superior to others.
No, in this duel between him and Xu Anan, although there were several dangers in the scene, it seemed that he had a chance to defeat Xu Anan several times.
But in the end, Xu Anan's wooden sword hit Xu Jian's sword-holding wrist. With a scream, the wooden sword in his hand flew out, and he retreated repeatedly while admitting defeat and begging for mercy.
"Sister, sister, I admit defeat, I admit defeat, you win, you win..."
It was only then that the expression on the boy's face stopped being serious and turned into one of panic.
Looking at this scene, Comrade Xu chuckled and took a sip of the tea in his cup.
Ten years ago, his brother Xu Tonglu was seriously injured after being assassinated. Although he survived, he did have sequelae. His physical condition deteriorated, his lungs were injured, and his energy was much shorter than before.
Therefore, in the past ten years, Xu Tongdao, the uncle, has taken on the responsibility in training Xu Jian to strengthen his body.
Let Xu Jian, Xu Anan, and Xu Le practice boxing and learn swordsmanship with him.
Speaking of which, he treated the three children equally and impartially.
However, the most outstanding of these three children in recent years is his daughter Xu Anan.
Many people say that premature children are smart.
Xu Anan, who was born prematurely at seven months, seems to agree with this saying.
Although she has been lively and active since she was a child and is suspected of having ADHD, she has always been much better than her two brothers in terms of intelligence and motor skills.
His academic performance is among the best in the school, and his athletic ability also steals the show at every school sports meeting.
Except for his strong personality and pride, he doesn't have any big problems.
"Dad! It's your turn, shall we compete?"
On the field, Xu Anan, who had won two games in a row, looked at Comrade Xu provocatively.
Comrade Xu smiled, put down his tea cup and was about to stand up to challenge. The door to the training room was suddenly pushed open, and his secretary Wu Mengjie strode in with a panicked expression, "It's not good, boss! I just received a call. Your mother fell down."
, I heard that she fell unconscious and was on her way to the hospital..."
