While undergoing a heavenly tribulation, Jian Ning was struck dead by a sudden bolt of lightning amplified a thousandfold.
In her final moments, a fragment of her soul fled with her celestial...
"If it's too cold in winter, we'll move it indoors. We have to make sure the kids have a good time playing. They can't go without a happy childhood. I'll get a projector and put it indoors so the kids can watch cartoons."
"You just spoil them. These two little rascals keep praising their aunt. They even put me, their mother, behind you."
Hearing Li Mengyao's words, Jian Ning couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Jian Anping pushed open the door and came in from outside. He is now a minor official in charge of things at the base, and he is quite busy every day.
"Brother, you've been looking downcast since you came in. What's wrong?" Jian Ning asked with concern when she saw that he didn't look well.
"It's all because of these people who just moved here. More people, more trouble. The base doesn't owe them anything."
They come here making all sorts of unreasonable demands, as if being poor gives them the right to do whatever they want? The food and supplies at this base didn't just fall from the sky. They're the result of our hard work.
They've all become quite greedy. I think we shouldn't spoil these people; they need to learn the rules here." Jian Anping was seething with anger as he spoke.
"Brother, are there any fixed rules at the base? I don't know, but you're right."
Now it's the end of the world, and we can't expect soldiers to follow the old military rules of not taking a single needle or thread from the masses and always putting the people first.
Instead, we should learn to be flexible. Good people are good people, and bad troublemakers can be thrown out and left to fend for themselves. Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.
"Xiao Ning, you're right. It's a pity that you're not in charge here, and there are quite a few rules and regulations."
Among this group of people who just arrived today, there are quite a few who seem to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
He has no real skills, but he's number one at causing trouble.
If it weren't for the pity for the elderly and children in their group, we really wouldn't want to help them. They are all able-bodied people, and they don't act like grown men at all.
These end times have dulled their spirit; putting aside everything else, they lack even the slightest ambition, only thinking about receiving charity from others. No matter how much food there is, it shouldn't be given to ungrateful people.
"Brother, don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt your health. They definitely need time to adjust at first. Do all the newcomers get free food?"
"Yes, each person will receive three jin of grain and two portions of vegetables. You'll need to cook for yourself at your assigned place."
That means those who have just arrived for the first day or two, and whose health checks are all normal, will have to start work the day after tomorrow. It's impossible to expect benefits without working.
"That's right, alright brother, you should go inside and rest for a while. You've had a lot of work to do today. Rest when you need to, don't push yourself too hard."
Jian Ning pushed him into the house, then went straight to her bedroom, closed the door, and entered the immortal abode. She appeared right in front of Xiao Wuyu's house.
He knocked gently on the door: "Brother Xiao, are you there?"
"Come in,"
Jian Ning pushed open the door and went in. Seeing the face of the person sitting in the wheelchair, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Brother Xiao, your disguise pill is quite successful. Are you trying to impersonate Zhang Fei?" Look at my hair, it's almost dragging on the ground.
"I don't know if the wrong ingredient was added, but the first batch of pills produced sixteen pills, and they looked quite successful."
But as soon as I put it in my mouth, all that hair started growing like crazy, and I couldn't stop it. It wasn't just my beard; look at my hair, it's almost dragging on the ground!
After Xiao Wuyu finished speaking, he turned his wheelchair, and sure enough, his hair trailed on the ground like a waterfall, looking jet black and shiny.
"Brother Xiao, if you want to go out and live for a while, that's not impossible. A group of new people just arrived from outside today."
"Your hair is so different from what people in our area have. How about I cut it for you?"
"You mean, cut it like Xiao Lingfeng's?" Xiao Wuyu was really reluctant to part with his thick black hair.
"Yes, or we could just shave his head, that would be easier. Actually, I'm not very good at cutting hair. I don't know how to style his head shape either, so a shaved head would be easier."
Your hair is truly unique.
Xiao Wuyu considered it for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay, I can do it myself. Aren't you bald? This is easy."
After saying that, he gathered his luck into his palm and, like a scraper, made two circles on his head.
His hair had all fallen down, leaving a bald head that looked like a freshly peeled egg. Paired with his thick beard, it was truly striking.
"Brother Xiao, your technique is quite good. You could open a hair salon and specialize in shaving people's heads."
Here, this is a mirror and a razor. Take care of these things; your beard is completely covering your face.
Xiao Wuyu took the things Jian Ning handed him, fiddled with them for a bit, and then figured out how to use the razor. It was actually very simple; you just had to push it.
This is a man; nothing can stump him.
After everything was tidied up, I must say, the changed appearance was quite handsome, but it still couldn't compare to the original face that resembled Xiao Lingfeng.
This face looks a little ordinary.
“Good, Brother Xiao, here are your clothes and shoes. Please change them yourself. I will arrange a separate place for you to stay after we go out.”
She handed him the clothes, then used a cleaning spell to clean up all the stubble on the floor.
She didn't touch her hair; she'd let Xiao Wuyu keep it as a memento. It'd probably be difficult for it to grow that long again.
Then he went outside and waited. After a short while, Xiao Wuyu came out, having changed his clothes.
He has been refining a lot of pills during this time, and his legs can now walk, but he can't sustain himself for too long, though three to five hours is no problem.
"Brother Xiao, is your leg healed?" Jian Ning was surprised that he recovered so quickly.
"I still need to use acupuncture on my acupoints every day. It will probably take about six months to fully recover. But that's okay, it won't affect my mobility at all. Shall we go out now?"
For some inexplicable reason, Xiao Wuyu found himself somewhat excited.
Jian Ning looked him up and down, then took out a black baseball cap from her spatial storage and handed it to him.
"Brother Xiao, put this hat on. Remember, once you get out of here, forget about cultivating immortality. Everyone outside is just an ordinary person who can't even draw qi into their body."
Our world is too far removed from theirs; we've only read about similar things in books. Only we know that all of this is real, but we can't say it either.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Let's go, I can't wait any longer." Xiao Wuyu took the hat, put it on his head without even looking at it.
And you know what? With this fashionable item, his otherwise unremarkable appearance was instantly elevated in terms of looks.
