Guo Jing and Huang Rong went to Xiangyang to help defend the city.
Xiang Nan continued to stay at home and take care of his wife, children and children.
Now Yang Guo and Yang Xi are over two years old and can already run, jump and talk.
Both of them are naughty by nature, like little monkeys. If Mu Nianci and Li Mochou hadn't learned martial arts, they would have been exhausted.
However, in front of Xiang Nan, the two little guys were very obedient.
Because Mu Nianci and Li Mochou were reluctant to spank their children, even if they were very naughty, they would still pamper them, not to mention spanking them, not even scolding them.
But Xiang Nan is very strict. Once they have a serious fight, he will really spank them. So over and over again, the children were afraid of him and did not dare to be arrogant in front of him.
In fact, Xiang Nan's strict discipline also hopes that his children will become talents.
As the saying goes, if you don't fight for the cold to the bone, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms?
Yang Guo, Yang Xi, and Yang Xin were born in families like theirs, and they usually had nothing to suffer.
They do not have to bear the pains that ordinary people have to endure, such as hunger and cold, insecurity, bullying, corvee taxes, etc. It can be said that they are soaked in a honeypot.
If they are no longer strictly disciplined and allowed to let themselves go, both of them will be useless.
Just like Ouyang Ke, he is obviously a descendant of Wujue, but he only cares about enjoying pleasure, but he was beaten by Guo Jing in his thirties, and even died directly;
Or like Guo Fu, her parents and grandfather are all good, but she has been naughty and willful since she was a child. Not only is she uneducated, empty-minded, and has low martial arts skills, but her character is also a mess. She just feels like the world revolves around her.
Xiang Nan doesn't want his children to be so worthless, so he must educate his children carefully and discipline them strictly. Moreover, he also advised Mu Nianci and Li Mochou, "To spoil a child is like killing a child, to raise a child without education is like raising a tiger, and to raise a daughter without education is like raising a pig."
…
And strangely enough, although Xiang Nan strictly disciplined the children, both children liked him more. As long as he was at home, they would pester him every day, making Mu Nianci and Li Mochou sour.
They took care of the children diligently, holding them in their mouths for fear of melting, and holding them in their hands for fear of falling. They were so careful, but the two children ran over to Xiang Nan as soon as they saw Xiang Nan, which really pissed them off.
In fact, the reason why the two children pestered Xiang Nan was mainly because it was more fun to follow Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan will accompany them to make toys, play games and tell stories.
For example, he is proficient in carpentry and makes wooden horses, roller coasters, puppets, and airplanes for Yang Guo and Yang Xi... everything is strange and fun.
Another example is playing pinball, hide-and-seek, rolling hoops, kicking shuttlecocks, building blocks with your children...it's educational and fun, and children also like to play.
Another example is storytelling, traditional folk tales, European fairy tales, fables, idiom stories... Xiang Nan is a scholar of nature and good at writing stories, so he has a lot of stories that he can never finish, so children naturally like to get close to him. he.
In comparison, Mu Nianci followed Yang Tiexin to travel around the world since childhood, while Li Mochou followed his master and lived in an ancient tomb since childhood. Neither of them had a happy and sweet childhood, so apart from blindly pampering, they actually had no idea what to do. Spend time with your kids.
Therefore, children naturally like to follow Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan also took advantage of playing time to teach the children what he knew and learned as much as possible.
To this end, he also specially compiled teaching materials. Such as "Mathematics", "Physics", "Three Character Classic", "Young Learning Qionglin", "Li Weng Duiyun", "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual", "Three Hundred Tang Poems", and so on.
Both Mu Nianci and Li Mochou admired Xiang Nan's talent and learning.
…
Two months later, news came from Xiangyang.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong relied on the military tactics taught in "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" to successfully scare off the invading Mongolian army. In addition, Genghis Khan happened to pass away, and Tuolei and Ogedei were busy competing for the throne of Khan, so they had to choose to retreat.
In this way, Guo Jing and Huang Rong achieved great success, and their names spread throughout the world.
Seeing that the two men were brave and resourceful, and serving the country and the people, Hong Qigong couldn't help but admire them very much, and he accepted them as his disciples.
After Xiang Nan heard about it, he was a little envious.
If he had known this, he would have gone to Xiangyang. Perhaps Hong Qigong was so happy that he passed on the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Dog Beating Stick Technique to him.
But having said that, he now has the same status as Hong Qigong. Even if he goes to Xiangyang to defend the city, Hong Qigong will only respect him more and will not accept him as his disciple.
After all, Hong Qigong is not that shameless if he dares to accept Wu Jue as his disciple.
Therefore, Xiang Nan was envious, but he never became obsessed with it and never forgot it.
Unlike Ouyang Feng, in order to obtain the "Nine Yin Manual", he did not hesitate to use tricks, coercion and inducement, and even became stupid for it.
Moreover, for today's Xiang Nan, learning the Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon and the Stick Technique for Beating the Dog are just the icing on the cake. It's like killing rabbits during the New Year - not much with it, not much without it, so it's not urgent.
Therefore, Xiang Nan can still teach his children at home.
Under his careful guidance, Yang Guo and Yang Xi both grew up very well.
…
Another year later, Xiang Nan was extremely restless and left home again, preparing to go to Xixia.
Because the martial arts of the Xiaoyao sect may still exist in the Xixia palace.
Li Qiushui, one of the three elders of the Xiaoyao Sect, once served as the princess of the Xixia Kingdom. In order to facilitate her martial arts practice, she carved the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skills on the stone wall of her palace.
Nowadays, the Xixia Kingdom is being attacked by the Mongolian army. Xiang Nan is worried that these stone carvings may be damaged, so he wants to go and check it out. If you can get the true biography by luck, wouldn't it be a good thing?
He said goodbye to his family and rode to Lingzhou in Xixia.
Lingzhou is actually not far from Chang'an, just over a thousand miles. Xiang Nan only walked for five days and had already arrived at Zhongxing Mansion in Lingzhou.
They saw that the Mongolian army had surrounded Zhongxing Mansion and was completely surrounded. At this time, apart from this capital city, other territories of Xixia Kingdom had already been annexed by Mongolia.
Therefore, the Xixia Kingdom is in danger, and there are not many people left in the city. At its peak, Zhongxing Mansion had more than 500,000 people, but now it may be less than 30,000.
When Xiang Nan used Qinggong and sneaked into the city, he saw that the city was devastated and full of ruins. Even the palace, which used to be heavily guarded and extremely luxurious, now looked very lonely and dilapidated.
Along the way, Xiang Nan rarely saw guards, maids, eunuchs, etc. The entire palace was filled with sadness and despair at the end of the world.
Xiang Nan finally found a white-headed palace maid and found out the location of Qingfeng Pavilion.
Back then, it was Li Qinglu's boudoir, and the stone carvings of Xiaoyao Sect were also among them.
Xiang Nan then came to Qingfeng Pavilion and saw that the former princess's boudoir had become dilapidated due to frequent wars and lack of repair and management over the years.
The gold paint is faded, the doors and windows are in disarray, and the furnishings inside have been emptied out long ago, leaving only a few broken rooms filled with dead branches and leaves. You can even see the sky when you look up.
"It's true that things are different and people are different." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
