Although Shin Yeon forbade Jennie to protect her, little Jennie still wanted her mother to be safe.
Moving her feet across the street to play, she encountered the boys from yesterday.
"Look, she is here!"
"Great, there is no one here!"
As they said that, they circled her. With her big and round eyes, little Jennie watched their movement.
Before she could react, she felt pain in her head. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
In the next second, she felt another pain in her back. She completely didn't understand.
What did she do wrong to make them hate her so much?
Children could only follow what their parents teach them. If their parent said that she was a disgrace and that shouldn't be here, they would follow what their parent said and take things into their hand.
Because they were still young, they didn't know that there was a gray between black and white.
Amid the barrage, Jennie's eyes caught a small stick near her.
Reaching out her hand to take it, she swung it to block the boy's barrage.
That one movement made them surprised.
Because of Jennie's labors in helping her mother, her arm strength was more than what ordinary children around her would have.
The boys were pushed back as Jennie continued to attack using that small stick.
Her movement was sluggish and full of loopholes, but it was enough to drive the stupid children away.
When they had gone, Jennie fell to the ground and panted heavily.
She was trying her best to drive them and luckily she succeeded.
Staring at the stick in her hand, she thought that she might be able to help her mother should she learn martial arts that used a weapon like this stick.
Shin Yeon almost fainted when she saw her daughter's condition, but little Jennie instead asked her a question.
"Mother, is there any weapon that is like this stick?" Little Jennie raised the stick.
"Do you mean sword? Ah, forget it, come with me to clean up your wound..."
Under Shin Yeon's strict supervision, little Jennie's wound healed fast and she could go around to play again after a short time.
This time, little Jennie secretly followed the men from her village who went to study martial arts.
She wanted to know where they learned it.
The journey lasted for around one hour before they arrived at Guo Village.
Little Jennie stopped in front of the place those men stepped in, a training hall.
Standing in front of the place, she hesitated to go inside because she didn't know what she could do.
"What are you doing here, little girl?"
Little Jennie raised her head. With her dirty appearance and the way she was dressed, people would think that she was a boy.
However, the man before her could quickly discern that she was a girl.
"I want to learn martial arts!" little Jennie answered with determination.
The man stared at Jennie's small stature.
She was only five years old, why did she want to learn martial arts that badly?
Besides, with that thin arm, there was no way she could last training that long.
"Learning martial arts is hard, little girl. You better go home and learn things that a girl should learn," the man said with a persuading tone.
"I need to learn martial arts so that my mother will not be bullied," little Jennie said again.
The man knew that there was no way he could shake the little girl's 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 Jennie's body, it 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 Jennie raised her head excitedly.
Seeing that girl smile, he nodded, "Yes."
"Okay, I will start now," taking the bucket, little Jennie 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 Jennie would come here every two days and do 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 Jennie said with an excited smile.
The man looked at Jennie's 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 Jennie finished the assignment.
"How old are you?" he looked towards Jennie.
"I will be six in a few days," little Jennie answered.
"I see."
"So, can I study martial arts here?" Little Jennie looked at the man with pleading eyes.
The man contemplated for a moment. He did teach the people here, but most of them were adults and he only did it because they paid him.
However, this little girl's 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 Jennie's mouth widened into a smile, "Okay, Teacher Kan!"
That was the start of Jennie learning the sword under Den Kan.
