"Hello, little Su Xi. You can call me Sister Ning. This is An Zhi, who is ten years old this year. By the way, how old are you?" Xiao An Ning said with a smile. Her voice was clear and melodious, just like a yellow oriole singing in a valley. Moreover, she spoke fluent Chu dialect, which even surprised Su Lun. It seemed that she had not only learned a little bit, but was very proficient in it.
"Sister Ning, you can speak Chu language too? I'm probably nine years old this year." Su Xi asked in surprise, and then lowered his head. His little hands tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, and his eyes revealed a hint of shyness and uneasiness. He actually felt a little inferior about his life experience. He didn't know who his parents were, nor when his birthday was, so when asked about his age, he could only shake his head helplessly and said he was not very clear.
Xiao Anzhi on the side couldn't stand the loneliness, so he came over hurriedly and said enthusiastically: "Su Xi, my name is Xiao Anzhi, I am ten years old, so you can call me Brother Anzhi. I will take you out to play in the future." His eyes were bright, full of anticipation and curiosity.
Xiao Anzhi was nearly a head taller than Su Xi, with a sturdy build, and he looked like a kid who liked outdoor activities. His face was filled with a sunny smile, which made people feel warm and friendly.
Xiao Anning couldn't help laughing as she watched the two little guys interact. She gently touched Xiao Anzhi's head and said softly, "Anzhi, you must protect your brother well and don't let anyone bully him."
Xiao Anzhi nodded vigorously, patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, sister! I will definitely protect Su Xi!" After that, he stretched out his hand to Su Xi and said with a friendly smile: "Come on, let's make a pinky promise. I will always be your good friend."
Su Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and held Xiao Anzhi's hand. Their eyes met, and there was a sincere light in their eyes. At this moment, a special friendship was established between them.
"Brother Anzhi, can you all speak Chu dialect?" Su Xi stared at Xiao Anzhi with her big round eyes and asked curiously.
Xiao Anzhi felt a little embarrassed when he was stared at like that. He scratched his head and chuckled, "Well... the teacher has taught us a little, but I haven't learned much yet. My two sisters are amazing. Not only can they speak Chu language, they can also speak Tianqi language very well!"
Hearing this, Su Xi's eyes sparkled with admiration, and she said enviously: "Wow, that's great! Then brother Anzhi, can you teach me how to speak Shunguo dialect? There's still a lot I don't understand..." As he said that, he showed a lovely smile and looked at Xiao Anzhi expectantly.
Xiao Anzhi straightened his chest and said confidently: "No problem, leave it to me! I will come to teach you whenever I have time in the future, and I promise that you will be able to understand Shunguo dialect in no time!"
Seeing the harmonious and interesting interaction between the two little guys, Xiao Anning couldn't help but laugh out loud. She felt that her brother looked like a little adult at this moment, full of responsibility and desire to protect. So, she suggested, "I didn't expect that this little monkey, who is usually naughty, seems to be quite conscious of being a brother at the critical moment. By the way, General Su, is little Su Xi going to school? He and An Zhi are of similar age and they get along so well. Why not let him go to school with An Zhi so that the two can take care of each other."
Su Lunzheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Miss, but Su Xi has just arrived and is not familiar with the environment here. He also does not speak the language fluently. I am worried that he will have difficulty adapting to the life in the school. Therefore, I have asked Butler Su to invite a teacher to come and teach him at home for a while. Once he can communicate fluently, it will not be too late to send him to the school."
"That's right. Su Xi is still young, so there's no need to rush. Let him adapt first. General Su, you are really amazing. You can find such a cute brother while on a mission." Xiao An Ning said carelessly.
"I also find it incredible. Maybe this is fate. Xiaoxi looks a lot like an old friend of mine. I wonder if there is any connection between them..." Su Lun muttered in his heart. Uncle Lin's extraordinary appearance and the nobleness that naturally emanated from his gestures emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. However, he didn't have more clues to solve this mystery, so he could only attribute it to the arrangement of fate.
Just as Su Lun was lost in thought, Gu Bei suddenly spoke up to break the silence: "By the way, Brother Su, I heard that you have a martial arts training ground in your mansion with some new things. I wonder if you can let me see it?"
After hearing Gu Bei's words, Su Lun came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Of course, it's just some simple equipment. I hope I won't disappoint Brother Gu. Brother Gu, please come this way." After that, he stood up and led a few people to the martial arts training ground.
There were various training equipment in the martial arts training ground, including swords, guns, sticks, stone locks, plum blossom piles, climbing frames, parallel bars and other common weapons and equipment. Su Lun introduced the uses of these equipment to Gu Bei and demonstrated some basic methods of use.
Looking at these novel equipment in front of him, Gu Bei's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Su, did you design all of these? Some of them are really unheard of! Is this how you developed your skills?"
Facing Gu Bei's question, Su Lun touched his nose a little embarrassedly and answered modestly: "Brother Gu, please forgive me for laughing. I just figured it out on my own. But these things can indeed effectively exercise people's muscles. Not only can they strengthen the body, but they can also improve the body's flexibility and reaction speed. If we have time, we can go to the craftsmen to discuss it together. Maybe we can make more useful tools."
At this time, Xiao Anzhi, who had been standing next to him, couldn't help but ask, "General Su, can I try these too?" Just now, he saw Su Lun demonstrate how to use these equipment, and his heart was full of novelty. Now he can't wait to experience it himself.
Hearing Xiao Anzhi's request, Su Lun replied with a smile: "Of course! But you have to be careful and don't fall." After getting permission, Xiao Anzhi cheered excitedly and immediately ran towards the climbing frame, and Su Xi followed closely behind him.
Looking at the backs of Xiao Anzhi and Su Xi leaving, Su Lun turned to look at Gu Bei and asked with a smile: "Brother Gu, are you interested in trying it?" After hearing this, Gu Bei also felt eager to try it, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll try it too." After that, Gu Bei walked towards the parallel bars, ready to experience it himself.
