Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Escape Famine, I Have a Treasure Chest So I Don't Panic

One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.

The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.

Chapter 274 Hard work is no match for talent

"I don't accept it!" This was the first sentence Xu Ning shouted the next morning as he kicked off his sleeping bag.

Xu Feng, who was helping to make breakfast, heard the noise and quickly put down what he was doing. He stuck his head into Xu Ning's tent to check what was going on, only to find Xu Ning staring at him with a resentful look on her face. Xu Feng was frightened and asked quickly, "What's wrong, Second Sister?"

"It's so unfair!" Xu Ning pouted, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean by unfair?" Xu Feng asked doubtfully.

"Xiaobao, I feel so useless." After thinking all night, Xu Ning finally faced the reality.

It turned out that she had never truly understood the gap in talent between herself and the two Xu brothers. Especially when she learned that Xu Feng was able to open the Ren and Du meridians without any instruction, the shock and loss in her heart became even stronger.

Last night, when Xu Feng told Xu Ning that he had successfully opened up his Ren and Du meridians, Xu Ning did not feel much, because at that time she was still immersed in the joy of being happy for Xu Feng.

However, as the night deepened, she began to think about this problem over and over again, gradually realizing the gap between herself and Xu Feng, and having a premonition that this gap would become larger and larger as time went by. This realization made her feel extremely depressed and helpless.

"Second sister, why do you think so?" When Xu Yuan heard the voice, he didn't even care about breakfast. He hurried into the tent and sat in front of Xu Ning with Xu Feng.

Xu Ning felt warm in his heart, but he couldn't help but express his grievances: "I feel useless!"

Xu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Ningning, we didn't mean to tell you so late."

Xu Yuan felt guilty because he discovered Xu Feng's condition on the day they left the valley, and she wanted to verify it, so she delayed for a day before telling Xu Ning.

At the same time, they were indeed worried that telling Xu Ning too early would be too much of a blow to her.

Xu Ning's pout deepened. She suddenly felt very sorry for Cui Yong. As a martial arts master, Cui Yong actually accepted a useless disciple like her.

Although she has such superior resources, she is no match for Xu Feng, a self-taught person.

This made Xu Ning doubt his own abilities, even though Xu Ning knew deep down that talent was not the key factor that determined everything, and hard work was the most important thing.

But she knows better that hard work is often insignificant compared to talent.

When she realized that she was that insignificant existence, a sense of loss washed over her. It felt like she had been ruthlessly left behind while striving for her goal.

"Ningning! Ningning!" Xu Yuan interrupted Xu Ning's messy thoughts loudly, fearing that she would go into a dead end.

"Second sister, what are you thinking about? You don't know how much I envy you. If I could, I would want to be you!"

"Why do you say that?" Xu Ning looked at Xu Feng and asked with some confusion.

Seeing that Xu Ning's thoughts had been successfully diverted by him, Xu Feng immediately followed up with, "You are the disciple of a god. This alone is enough to make me envious. And, second sister, you are such a great businessman and you can build such a great house. If we didn't have you in our family, I guess everyone's grave would be taller than mine."

"Pfft..." Xu Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing too exaggeratedly.

"Yes, Ningning, if it weren't for you, I would have turned into mud on the seabed long ago, and how could I have seen so many beautiful scenery along the way." Xu Yuan also echoed Xu Feng.

"That's right, second sister, how can you underestimate yourself? You don't even know how capable and important you are. You are the one our family can't do without the most." Xu Feng continued, trying to make Xu Ning believe in his own value and importance.

Xu Ning felt a little ashamed of her sudden outburst, thinking she must have been bored to think about such nonsense. If Old Lady Xu were here, she would definitely give her a slap on the wrist and then scold her.

Oh, I miss Old Mrs. Xu a little.

"It's only been two days since I came out, and I'm already craving milk." Seeing that Xu Ning finally stopped complaining about himself, Xu Yuan and Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second sister, let's write a letter. It's a good opportunity for me to practice my handwriting. Come on, I'll write now. I'll tell grandma that you think of her many times a day." In order to appease his second sister, Xu Feng even took out the writing brush he hated the most.

"No, just two or three times, no more. It makes me look like a clingy person. She'll definitely get annoyed and say, 'Go away, I'm very busy. I have to farm and feed the chickens every day!'"

In the valley, after feeding the chickens, ducks and geese, Old Lady Xu and Zhang took their farm tools and prepared to go to the fields to plant vegetables together. At this time, they happened to meet the grandfather and grandson who had just finished their patrol at the doorstep.

"Grandma, my second sister wrote to me. It's from Xiaobao. She said that Ningning has been away for the past two days and has missed you many times every day." Xu Feng handed the letter to Old Mrs. Xu.

"Girl, are they doing well on the road?" Old Mrs. Xu took the letter, glanced at it and asked.

"Xiaobao said everything went well. Xiaobao also said that he had opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and now traveling every day is like a piece of cake." Xu Feng did not mention the stupid thing Xu Ning did today, but he had to admit that Xu Ning really understood Old Lady Xu.

"Okay, I have to go farm. I still have a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese to feed. Tell her not to write to me and bother me. I'm busy!" Old Mrs. Xu said proudly.

After saying this, Old Lady Xu returned the letter to Xu An and left with Zhang in a huff.

Old Man Xu smiled as he watched Old Lady Xu and the others walk away, then said to Xu An, "Just do as your grandmother says. Daya will understand."
