In this day and age, it's customary to place beds against a wall, and the back window where Xu Xinning was located was right next to Xu Yaoyang and his wife's bed, so there was no need to worry about the two little ones getting tired.

A few minutes later, Xu Xinning smiled. Mission accomplished, the days ahead would be even more interesting.

Then Xu Xinning sneaked to the outside of her great-grandfather and great-grandmother's room. The windows of that era were not very airtight. Xu Xinning fiddled with them for a while and blew a little bit of something in with a reed.

Xu Xinning patted her clothes, then sprinted again, easily climbed the wall, and went home in a happy mood.

It's really satisfying to occasionally do something to punish bad guys.

Xu Xinning suddenly found enjoyment in this peaceful era.

Mu Jingheng watched Xu Xinning's every move. Although there were some things he didn't quite understand, he could guess that this little girl was standing up for Xu Mingyang.

Although Mu Jingheng had just arrived in Xujia Village and was unaware of the interpersonal relationships involved, judging from tonight's events, this family had been targeting one person, and in doing so, they had also implicated Xu Xinning's family. By connecting these points, Mu Jingheng was able to figure out the connections between them.

Judging from Xu Xinning's behavior, it's not hard to guess that she has a good relationship with that uncle named Xu Mingyang.

So much fun!

This is so much fun!

But what exactly did this little girl do to them? It seems pretty profound, at least the little silent thing she was blowing looked really sophisticated.

It seems we really can't underestimate the Xu family; they must be extraordinary to have raised such a capable girl.

Mu Jingheng was very curious and really wanted to know what Xu Xinning had done tonight.

Xu Xinning slept very comfortably that night, and when she woke up, it was already dawn.

Last night's events made her realize that she needed to speed up her training; otherwise, even jumping off a building would be so difficult, which would be an insult to a former master.

When Xu Xinning came downstairs, Xu Yaozu had already gotten up. He has a habit of exercising every morning, so he is usually the first one to get up at home.

Xu Yaozu got up, and Yang Chunqin would get up soon too.

When Xu Yaozu went out, Xu Xinning followed him out, but the two went in different directions. Xu Yaozu went for a morning run along the alley, while Xu Xinning went straight to the back mountain.

She was going to practice lightness skills, and no matter how difficult it was, she had to master them, or at least recover some of her former abilities.

The mountains are actually a good place to practice light-body skills. You can jump from one tree to another, and you might accidentally do a split. When she first started practicing, Xu Xinning fell from the trees quite a few times. Fortunately, the trees were not tall and the ground was not hard, so she was not seriously injured.

Besides jumping from one tree to another, Xu Xinning memorized the incantation for light-body kung fu countless times and then tried leaping up from the ground. Currently, two meters is no longer a problem for her.

Sometimes Xu Xinning wonders if the gravity of the Earth in modern times is different from that in ancient times. Otherwise, how can she explain why the same incantation could be mastered in ancient times but is so difficult to master in modern times? (Is it possible that you are practicing in the wrong direction because your master is not around?)

After two years of hard work, I can now jump around in the trees as happily as a monkey without much trouble.

Congratulations!

Besides practicing light-body skills, Xu Xinning has also been practicing the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.

After all, she was a doctor, and it wasn't strange for a doctor to carry a few silver needles. But this wasn't ancient times, so Xu Xinning modified the martial arts, replacing the silver needles with readily available pebbles. And you know what? She mastered this skill to a high degree.

Although the wild game in the mountains had been almost completely wiped out by the brigade members, there was still plenty of food in the deep mountains.

In those days, food was scarce, but the mountains were rich in resources. Both plants and animals were the best food, so the mountains were practically stripped bare.

When people are starving, they don't care about danger; they just want to fill their stomachs.

So if you want to catch wild game, you have to go to the deep mountains. There are large animals in the deep mountains, and it is too difficult for ordinary humans to compete with them for food. It's not that no one has ever gone there, but eight or nine out of ten people who go in never come back.

During the three years of natural disasters, the mountains became a living hell; it was truly a terrible time!

Having already experienced it, no one will venture into the forbidden zone again unless absolutely necessary.

But for Xu Xinning, who practices martial arts, it's a different story; it's her paradise.

Xu Xinning brought two rabbits back with her. She hadn't had spicy rabbit in a long time and was craving it.

The villagers all get up early, so to avoid attracting attention, Xu Xinning went to the medical station first, where there were baskets for collecting herbs, which were perfect for carrying rabbits.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Mu Jingheng leading Xu Laosan and Chen Jianguo in practicing military boxing. Old Mrs. Chen was watching from the wall, occasionally offering a few comments as if she didn't understand.

If it weren't for last night's remarkable achievements, we'd probably hear Xu Laosan and Chen Laotai arguing right now.

But things are different now.

Old Master Xu sat under the eaves, watching with a smile, holding a pipe in his hand with an air of importance, even though there was no tobacco in it at all.

Grandpa Xu stopped smoking a long time ago, but he didn't want anyone to know, as if not smoking tobacco meant he wasn't a real man.

Xu Yaozu was busy going in and out, polishing the bicycle until it shone so brightly it could be used as a mirror, and occasionally giving pointers to the three who were practicing military boxing.

It seems that with Mu Jingheng's arrival, this family is becoming more and more lively.

Older people like their homes to be lively and bustling.

Grandma Chen greeted Xu Xinning as soon as she entered the door: "Little girl, did you go for your morning exercise today?"

Xu Xinning was a little lax, perhaps because she didn't feel any sense of crisis, so she didn't practice her skills every day. She was only so proactive today because she was stimulated last night.

Xu Xinning took a rabbit out of her basket and handed it to Old Lady Chen, saying with a smile, "Grandma, here's a rabbit for you to treat yourself."

Grandma Chen was flattered but also a little worried about Xu Xinning. She lowered her voice and said to Xu Xinning, "My dear girl! Where did this rabbit come from? Did it go deep into the mountains? Girl, our lives are precious. You can't be so pessimistic. If something happens to you, how will your Xu family survive? Not to mention your Xu family, even your aunt will be devastated."

Xu Xinning knew that Old Madam Chen was genuinely kind to their family, so she smiled and reassured her, "Grandma, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, as long as you want to eat it, I still have the ability to catch this rabbit."

Grandma Chen was so happy! She smiled like a sunflower: "Our little girl is so filial to her great-aunt, unlike your grandma, who's such a stingy person. She always likes to argue with me, but in all these years, when has she ever won against me?"

When Grandpa Xu heard Grandma Chen start bragging again, he coughed twice as a warning.

Old Mrs. Chen wasn't an unreasonable person, especially now that she had received good news, so she wisely kept quiet.
