326 Jun Hua Past Part Two: Learning the Sword (2/2)
The man knew that there was no way he could shake the little girl determination. Beckoning the girl to follow him, he led her inside where she could see big jars of water located on the back.
”There is a well down the hill. If you can fill the entire jar within six hours, I will take you in as a disciple.”
The jar alone was far bigger than little Jun Hua body, which would take her a long time to finish just filing one jar. Looking at the bucket on the side, she knew that she needed to move back and forth a few times before the jar was full. Nevertheless, her smile bloomed.
”Is that a promise, Uncle?” little Jun Hua raised her head excitedly.
Seeing that girl smile, he nodded, ”Yes.”
”Okay, I will start now,” taking the bucket, little Jun Hua ran down the hill to fill the bucket. Although the distance was far, she was still smiling.
The man watched for a few minutes before leaving her to finish the task. Since then, little Jun Hua would come here every two days and did the task, only for her to fail in the end. Still, her fighting spirit didn't decrease, and she continued to fill the jars until she finally completed it.
”Uncle, I have filled the jar full of water,” little Jun Hua said with an excited smile.
The man looked at Jun Hua small stature in disbelief. This little lass actually managed to do it within a few months? Shaking his head lightly, he walked to the back and found the jar was brimming with water, the evidence that little Jun Hua finished the assignment.
”How old are you?” he looked towards Jun Hua.
”I will be six in a few days,” little Jun Hua answered.
”I see.”
”So, can I study martial art here?” little Jun Hua looked at the man with pleading eyes.
The man contemplated for a moment. He did teach the people here, but most of them were adult and he only did it because they paid him. However, this little girl case was special since he knew that she still didn't understand the meaning of money.
Seeing her determination and the arm strength she possessed, a thought came across his mind.
”I will teach you,” the man said slowly, ”But you have to call me Teacher Kan.”
Little Jun Hua's mouth widened into a smile, ”Okay, Teacher Kan!”
That was the start of Jun Hua learning the sword under Den Kan.
