Together?

No, no, no.

It's not worth it.

Jiang Bai took out the food and tuition fees that he had prepared for him and handed them to him, shaking his head repeatedly and saying, "We don't need them. Go ahead and do your best. We believe you can do it."

"Remember to let us know after you pass the exam."

As he spoke, Jiang Bai escorted the man to the door, then waved to him and slammed the gate shut.

Ji Yanwen stood there, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Is he really that unpopular with them?

He walked a short distance, then turned back and saw that the door was tightly closed, showing no sign of opening.

He turned his head away angrily, cursing Jiang Bai for being heartless in his heart, but since it concerned his studies, he had to put away all his thoughts, no matter how many they were.

"call."

They're finally gone.

Heaven knows Jiang Bai has been cooped up for days.

“Those five acres of wasteland are almost fully reclaimed. I’ve already told them to fertilize the land after they’ve finished reclaiming it, and then sow the bean seeds.”

"Sister, why are we planting so many beans?"

"Eating too many beans can cause flatulence and bloating, so they can't be eaten as a staple food."

Jiang Lu originally thought her sister was going to plant yams, but she never expected that the five acres of wasteland would be used to plant beans.

"Silly girl, that's because you haven't discovered the real way to eat beans."

Thinking about the various bean products and sauces derived from beans, Jiang Bai felt incredibly envious.

"Never mind Douzi for now. You take Awen and go up the mountain with your sister."

"The weather is getting better, and many wild animals have returned to the mountains. You should go and practice too."

The siblings didn't exchange more than a few words before heading towards Pingshan.

When they encountered villagers on the road, they generally avoided them, and the villagers looked at the siblings with strange eyes.

"Mother, stop looking."

Liu's eldest daughter-in-law tugged at her sleeve, afraid that Jiang Bai would notice them.

"Oh dear, how could this happen?"

Third Aunt Liu felt a chill in her heart as she thought of her sister-in-law Wang, who had been sold by her granddaughter, and felt a pang of regret.

But she also knew that something must have happened that they didn't know about, otherwise Jiang Bai wouldn't have done such a thing.

Jiang Bai didn't care about the villagers' opinions, but she was afraid that Jiang Lu would care. When she turned to look at her, she saw that Jiang Lu was holding Jiang Songwen with a calm expression and no discomfort at all, so she was relieved.

Jiang Lü was trained.

This was a decision Jiang Bai had made a long time ago.

After entering the mountains, she did not seek out other wild animals, but instead went to the territory of her old friends, the pack of wolves.

The place where the wolves had left and the tea had grown cold a few days ago has welcomed back its master. A pack of thirteen wolves gathered together, intimidating the surrounding wild animals and keeping them away.

Just then, a petite figure in emerald green appeared here.

She held a large knife that was half her height in her hand, her arm trembling slightly as she looked at the pack of wolves ahead.

Jiang Bai and Jiang Songwen climbed a tree and watched as the pack of wolves slowly surrounded the figure.

"come on."

Looking over there, Jiang Bai raised his fist.

Jiang Songwen, nestled in her arms, mimicked her and shouted "You!" until Jiang Bai corrected him, at which point he reluctantly uttered the complete "You!"

The wolf was much faster than Jiang Lu.

With Jiang Bai protecting her, she didn't suffer any serious injuries during the afternoon's training.

The wolf pack initially thought prey had arrived, until Jiang Bai interrupted their several attacks, and they realized that their own pack had become sparring partners for the two-legged beasts in front of them.

They immediately prepared to leave, but Jiang Bai threw them all back.

So, a pack of wolves was forced to act as sparring partners for a day.

As Jiang Bai and his companions were leaving, a loud wolf howl echoed from the mountains, startling the villagers who kept glancing up at the mountains, fearing that a pack of wolves might be coming down.

"You two stay up here and don't move."

Jiang Bai found a big tree, placed Jiang Lu and Jiang Songwen on it, and then slid down the tree and quickly disappeared from their sight.

After a moment, the wolves' joyful howls, which had been filled with excitement that the scourge was finally gone, abruptly ceased, and the high-pitched howls turned into low moans in their throats.

A figure carrying a wild boar walked towards them.

The wolves, their eyes wary, kept retreating.

Another scourge has arrived.

bump.

The wild boar crashed heavily to the ground, startling the wolves so much that they retreated a considerable distance.

"Eat up! After you've eaten this prey, you can help my sister practice martial arts."

Jiang Bai clapped his hands and pointed to the wild boar on the ground towards the pack of wolves.

The wolf king watched her warily and ordered one of the wolves to tentatively step forward, howl, and tear a piece of meat from the wild boar.

Seeing that Jiang Bai did not make a move, a second and then a third rushed out.

Soon, the wolves, while keeping a wary eye on Jiang Bai, devoured the entire wild boar.

Jiang Bai watched for a while, then quickly left.

For several days in a row, Jiang Bai accompanied Jiang Lu to Pingshan to find various wild animals as sparring partners, and her martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds.

I wouldn't dare say I could defeat martial arts masters, but I would have absolutely no problem dealing with ordinary adult men.

The second family also dutifully helped Jiang Bai cultivate the land. In the past few days, not only were all five acres of wasteland fertilized, but two acres had even been planted with beans.

Jiang Bai delivered the promised grain every day on time, which made the second wife's family even more motivated to work.

"That's about it."

The next day, Jiang Bai said goodbye to Jiang Lu and left home.

Jiang Songzong has had enough of a few more days of freedom; it's time to put an end to this.
