In order to make it easier to ask questions, Ning Zhishui stood behind Lin Huaiyuan, very close to him.
There is a little physical contact during this process, and you can also put on a talisman or something. It is so easy.
Lin Huaiyuan only smelled a fleeting fragrance and thought it was from Ning Zhishui, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just explained the problem to her diligently.
In fact, Ning Zhishui didn't listen carefully at all, he just nodded obediently.
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes."
"Then tell me what you mean."
Ning Zhishui: ...
Seeing Ning Zhishui just staring at him without saying anything, Lin Huaiyuan couldn't help but reveal an expression of "as expected". "Are you distracted again?"
This guy has a bad heart, but he is very cunning.
"Well, it just needs to be digested well... Well, I'm sleepy and want to take a nap." Ning Zhishui said.
This means to drive away customers.
Lin Huaiyuan did not force her to stay, and told her not to run around, wait for her family to come back, and contact him if anything happened.
Ning Zhishui agreed readily and sent him out the door.
"Hey, Zhishui is at home too."
Just as I was about to close the door, I heard the voice of Aunt Fang from next door.
When I looked up, I saw Aunt Fang and another neighbor, Aunt Zhou, chatting.
At their age, cultivation is already out of reach. The family has poor qualifications, no resources, and no ambition... So they are already very satisfied as long as they can live a good life now and have enough food and clothing.
If one of their children or grandchildren can produce someone promising, it would be a great honor to the family and worth bragging about.
It's not just them, this is also the current situation of many low-level monks.
There are many cultivators who stay in the first or second realm for their entire lives. To move further requires some opportunities, and not everyone has that kind of luck.
It is the same everywhere, there are people who are content with the status quo and there are people who strive to get ahead.
"Yes, Aunt Fang." Ning Zhishui replied.
"That was your aunt's lover just now, right? When will they get engaged? It's been quite a while." Aunt Fang said with a sigh.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Whether it's settled or not depends on their feelings. This is not something a kid like me should be involved in." Ning Zhishui brushed the dust off his clothes.
"That Lin family doesn't seem to be very well-off. Your aunt, however, has very discerning taste..." Aunt Fang deliberately dragged out her words, "Unlike my Niu Cheng, who's getting married soon. The Chen family is a wealthy family."
The Chen family is in business and is quite rich.
I don’t know why Miss Chen fell in love with Niu Cheng and thought he was a down-to-earth and reliable person.
Ning Zhishui originally wanted to close the store, but he was unhappy when he heard her words of praising one and criticizing the other.
You marry someone from your family, why do you come and step on my aunt?
So she rolled her eyes and said loudly, "Ah, Brother Niu Cheng, does he have any hidden illness? He came to see my father last night and almost had diarrhea at the door. The smell was really... I hope he doesn't harm Sister Chen."
Aunt Fang showing off to Ning Zhishui was fake, but showing off to Aunt Zhou was real.
Aunt Zhou also has a son who is older than Niu Cheng, but he has never married.
Now that Niu Cheng has been engaged, the Chen family still has the same conditions, so Aunt Fang deliberately mentions it in front of her from time to time to show off her vanity.
Every time she saw Aunt Zhou looking unhappy but pretending to smile, she felt so proud.
But now, hearing Ning Zhishui's words out of the blue, Aunt Fang was stunned. Then her face turned red as a monkey's butt. She was angry and embarrassed. "You, what are you talking about! Niu Cheng is in good health!"
But he clearly felt a little guilty.
Niu Cheng didn't know what was wrong. Since he came back last night, he felt like he had been living in a toilet and his legs were so weak from diarrhea.
It hasn’t come out yet!
"What about him?" Ning Zhishui looked towards the Niu family, "Is he still having diarrhea?"
These two words were really harsh, as if they reminded her of some strange smell, which made Aunt Fang's face turn green.
Aunt Zhou burst out laughing, "Is there such a thing? Then I think Niu Cheng needs to go see the alchemist right away, otherwise how can he get married? He'll have to spend his wedding night in the toilet!"
They were all old acquaintances, and she could tell at a glance that Aunt Fang was feeling guilty.
What the little girl from the Ning family said might be true.
"Oh, you are talking nonsense. He is fine and is practicing." Aunt Fang made up an excuse and went home.
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and seemed to have some evil ideas.
Ning Zhishui sneered and closed the door.
These two people are not easy to deal with. They always say one thing and do another. If Aunt Zhou continues to behave like this, she might really go and complain to the Chen family.
Let her be. It's best if she makes a fuss. That way she won't have time to harm others.
Locked in the room, Ning Zhishui knew that the next moment would be spent waiting.
It was almost late at night when we finally got news from my father.
"Chuanzhu has sent back a note! He's trapped in a cave. Your mother and I are on our way to rescue him. Zhishui, tell your aunt and second brother this news."
The scorpion venom was in a cave, and now it was found.
With my eldest brother pointing out the location, I think my parents can pick up the person and detoxify him as quickly as possible.
Ning Zhishui breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought of something.
Wait, Bai Lianxin...
If the eldest brother is really well and everything is fine, then how will things develop between him and Bai Lianxin?
Sometimes it is impossible to see through a person without going through some things.
If there is no crisis and everything goes well, the two people will live in harmony, without disputes or conflicts, and naturally it will be impossible to tell whether one person's heart is red or black.
The eldest brother is quite talented, and at this time he is having an ambiguous relationship with Bai Lianxin, and the only thing left is to break the window paper.
Actually, his poisoning was actually a good opportunity.
So Ning Zhishui quickly sent a sound transmission note to his father -
"Dad, I have an idea and I need your and Mom's help..."
She told him her plan, and Dad replied after a while.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Ning Zhishui felt relieved and told his aunt and second brother about it.
At this time, in the Cold Wind Valley.
The cave was damp and dark, and the six-member team was panting due to excessive fatigue.
There were four men and two women among the six people. The man walking in front was very tall and had thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a female cultivator next to him who was holding his sleeve tightly and was shaking with fear.
"Chuanzhu, what should we do? How are we going to get out?"
Bai Lianxin's delicate face was full of fear.
"Don't be afraid, follow me. There is a light ahead. Let's go and take a look."
Ning Chuanzhu raised his head and looked into the distance, then patted the arm of the person next to him to comfort him.
"I'm going to die. How could there be a formation in this cave?" A young male cultivator behind him complained.
