"Uncle Ren, I've returned as you requested! Is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, I'll take a rest!"

Ji Changying climbed up the wall, looked at Ren Dongnan's yard with a smile and asked loudly.

The only answer she got was an oncoming flying knife.

Ji Changying grinned, raised her hand nimbly, and followed the force of the flying knife to spin it half a circle in the air before catching it: "Tsk, what a bad temper! I've been busy all night and I'm not angry yet!"

There was an unconcealable mockery on her little face. She flicked her hand and put the flying knife back into Ren Dongnan's window, clapped her hands, climbed down the wall and went back to sleep.

Maybe it was because she was overworked or physically exhausted, but she slept exceptionally soundly. Even Ji Fengshou and Mrs. Hu didn't come to wake her up.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

After waking up, she felt full of strength and was in better shape than ever before.

I closed my eyes and felt it, and found that my internal strength, which usually didn't increase much, actually increased a lot overnight!

You know, no matter how she meditates and practices, her internal energy always seems to be the same, motionless and growing slowly.

This small section is already visible to the naked eye.

She jumped up with a look of surprise and tried it, and sure enough, she felt refreshed.

As soon as he opened the door and entered the yard, he saw Ren Dongnan lying on the recliner made for him by You Tianming, swaying leisurely, looking very comfortable.

Ji Fengshou brought him some tea with a very attentive look on his face: "Just poured hot tea, please try it."

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Why is she a little confused about this scene?

Ji Fengshou turned around and pulled her over: "From now on, you will be grateful to Mr. Ren for his guidance. This is a capable person. Treasure him, okay?"

Ji Changying glared: "What do you mean? I don't want to be his disciple!"

Ren Dongnan waved his hand: "No, I haven't thought about it yet."

Looking at the two people's expressions of disdain for each other, Ji Fengshou said: "...just treat it as an unnecessary question."

Ji Fengshou was also very busy during this period. Not only did he have to find a way to run the charcoal business, but he also had to take care of the large amount of land that had just been allocated to his family.

The paddy fields are easier to manage, but the 240 acres of dry land need to be well cared for, and even the 180 acres of grassland cannot be relaxed.

Because in addition to paying taxes on grain in Liangzhou, the government also has to collect fodder every year.

The local people were unwilling to take any shortcuts on this matter. After all, without fodder, what would the horses eat in the future? Without horses, how could they defeat the barbarians?

Therefore, whether it is for themselves or for everyone, every household will not refuse to grow pasture.

Ji Changying was not idle either. She called Yao Sanniang and the others to spend all the daytime on raising seedlings.

It is quite a lot of work to collect all the ripe potatoes, dry them in the shade, cut them into pieces and let them sprout.

At night, Ren Dongnan would grab him and force him to "jump off a cliff".

After a few times, Ji Changying has gotten used to it.

He had no expression on his face when he jumped down, and as his feet landed on the ground he began to climb up very skillfully.

Ren Dongnan was very satisfied as he watched the person becoming more and more knowledgeable.

"Reach the top within an hour. If you can't do it, you can carry 20 kilograms of weight tomorrow."

Ji Changying's eyes were dead: "I just completed two hours yesterday! Only one hour today? Are you kidding me?!"

"No." Ren Dongnan flew away.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!”

Ji Changying went crazy on the spot, but within a minute, he quickly composed himself and climbed up.

In order to do it within an hour this time, she had to shorten the time to adjust her internal strength.

In the end, it still took more than half an hour to reach the top.

Ren Dongnan skillfully took out the iron chain specially made for Ji Changying and ordered her to jump back home.

After the first lesson, Ren Dongnan specially asked someone to make a pair of iron chains to tie her up, the kind that would get tighter the more she struggled with brute force.

After many unsuccessful attempts and with his fighting power being inferior to others, Ji Changying could only swallow his anger and do what Ren Dongnan said.

It was very difficult to move with your hands and feet tied, especially after climbing over a cliff, your hands and feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

She could only constantly adjust her breathing and internal strength, and follow the method given by Ren Dongnan, moving towards home little by little.

The reason why Ren Dongnan was so arrogant was because everyone in the Ji family cooperated with him very well.

Every time the two of them returned home in the middle of the night, there would be a midnight snack carefully prepared by Mrs. Hu left in the kitchen.

Ren Dongnan even added meat to his portion, which made him extremely satisfied. He was able to torture Ji Changying more easily and felt physically and mentally happy.

Although it was painful, Ji Changying was not an ungrateful person.

Her internal strength was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day. No matter how she deliberately went against Ren Dongnan, she gritted her teeth and completed all the tasks given by the other party.

Suddenly it was time to sow.

Last year, there was a food shortage throughout Liangzhou, and many families in Xiaotian Village were so hungry that they ate all the food they had saved for seeds.

As a result, there is a shortage of seed stocks in the entire Liangzhou area this year, and people have to go to other places to purchase them. The price of grain seeds also remains high.

Liangzhou, which was already financially tight, was further hit by the financial crisis, and preparations for war had to be delayed again and again.

After all, war is fought for money!

That day, Ji Changying was just watching Yao Sanniang and the others planting the rice seedlings when she heard someone calling her, "Miss Ji! There's a letter from home!"

Ji Changying was full of questions: "My home? A letter?"

The villagers nodded and said, "Yes, there's a man from some escort agency standing at your door, waiting for your family to come back!"

When he heard the word "escort agency", Ji Changying instantly remembered the time when he sent a letter to his grandmother's home.

He dropped the things in his hands and disappeared like a gust of wind.

The person who came to deliver the message opened his mouth wide: "What... what speed is this!"

Ji Changying arrived at the door of Ji's house without even taking a breath.

A burly man was standing there. He turned his head and looked over when he heard the noise. It was Dalin from Hengtong Escort Agency who had sent the letter.

Seeing Ji Changying, a smile appeared on his darkened face: "Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission and delivered the letter!"

Ji Changying's face was full of joy: "Isn't this Brother Dalin! Come on, come on, let's talk after we come in!"

She was very happy to see him. She welcomed him home and served him tea. Then she couldn't wait to ask, "Who did you give the letter to? Did they send any messages or reply? Did they say anything?"

Dalin drank the tea in one gulp before speaking, "We were heading south this time, just passing through Qingzhou. We had planned to deliver the letter and the things there and consider our mission complete. However, we never expected that we would run into the recipient of the letter as soon as we arrived in Hengzhou."

Ji Changying was horrified: "In Hengzhou?!"
