Lin Tiancheng sat very steadily and received three kowtows from Qin Nian.
After paying respects to the master, pay respects to the senior brothers.
Su Bi stood up hurriedly, stretched out his hand to pull Qin Nian up, and said softly: "Just worship the master, no need to worship senior brother."
Lin Tiancheng smiled so proudly:
"I also have a disciple. When I have the chance, I will bring Xiao Nian Nian back to the mountain and let your dead ghost master see that my disciple is no worse than his.
Little Nian Nian is so smart, if she practices Kung Fu for five or six years, she might even be better than his apprentice."
He talked to himself, as if his senior brother's apprentice was not around and he didn't care at all.
Su Bi seemed to be used to it and acted as if he didn't hear anything.
After mumbling for a long time, Lin Tiancheng suddenly remembered something:
"Su Bi, Xiao Nian Nian is now a disciple of my Tianyuan Sect. As the eldest senior brother, you must take good care of and support your junior sister in the years to come.
By the way, it seems that you have to give a gift. It should be good. Don’t bring out bad ones, or you will embarrass your master.”
Qin Nian smiled and said, "No need for gifts."
Su Bi also smiled: "Yes, there must be a gift for meeting. Otherwise, I will be scolded to death by my uncle for the rest of my life."
After saying that, he took out a very exquisite and luxurious dagger from his arms and handed it to Qin Nian:
“This short sword is the most precious treasure of our sect, named Tianyuan Sword. It is extremely sharp and can cut through iron like mud.
So far, there has been nothing that the Tianyuan Sword cannot cut.
The year I first entered the sect, my skills were too weak, so my master gave it to me for self-defense.
You have just entered the sect, and like me at the beginning, your skills are weak, so this short sword is just right for you."
When Qin Nian heard that it was the sect's most precious treasure, he quickly declined: "Since it is the sect's most precious treasure, it is more appropriate for Senior Brother to take it."
Lin Tiancheng took the dagger:
"Xiao Niannian, Su Bi's martial arts are so high that few can rival him. This sword is really useless to me.
He is a good person in every way except that he is rude. If he loses the most precious treasure of our sect one day, he will have to trouble me to find it back.
You are a little girl, you are very careful, please accept this short sword, it is most suitable for self-defense."
After saying that, he stuffed the dagger into Qin Nian's hand, as if protecting his own child.
Qin Nian bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Senior Brother."
The few people from Tianyuan Sect rarely appear in the martial arts world, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have enemies.
For safety reasons, no one else knew about Qin Nian's apprenticeship except them and Mrs. Li.
There's no need to let everyone know.
Lin Tiancheng and Su Bi don't live here. One reason is that there is no place to live here, and the other is that they must not attract the attention of outsiders.
They both have superb kung fu skills and are not afraid of anyone, but Qin Nian is different. Her home is here and she cannot be as free as them.
Lin Tiancheng and Su Bi lived in an inn in the county town.
In the next month, every two or three days, Qin Nian went to the county town to learn internal skills from Lin Tiancheng.
Su Bi was also there. His internal strength was no worse than Lin Tiancheng's, and was even much higher.
He helped Qin Nian a lot. Lin Tiancheng looked at the two young men under his tutelage, as happy as if he were the emperor.
A month later, the remaining snow melted, the weather warmed up, and peach blossoms and forsythia flowers bloomed one after another.
The business of Qin Nian's stew restaurant has slowed down. After all, the weather has warmed up, and it is indeed hot and stuffy to sit in the greenhouse and eat stew.
If the vegetable shed and the picking shed had not been burned down, the vegetables and strawberries would have been planted long ago, and the first crop has come down now.
A large amount of income was lost.
Now, it is too early to build greenhouses and plant crops. We can only wait until the weather is completely warm before we can build and plant crops.
A rare leisure time.
At the beginning of the western month, refugees began to enter Yi County. Some of them passed by, while others stayed there and refused to leave.
Yi County is located in the westernmost part of Daliang State. The refugees came from Quguan in the northwest, which borders Wujin State.
In the two months before and after the New Year, the Wujin Kingdom invaded Quguan almost ten times. The wealthy people in Quguan had already moved to other places to avoid it.
Ordinary people, dragging their families, fled westward and became refugees.
Lin Tiancheng and Su Bi are going to Quguan to take a look.
Su Bi wanted to take Qin Nian with him, firstly to let her gain some experience, and secondly because he wanted to be with Qin Nian.
But these few days, Qin Nianyi has been planning to make a chicken coop, and he even designed and drew the picture himself.
Su Bi wanted Qin Nian to go with him, but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
He comforted himself in his heart, maybe next time, no matter where he goes, he will definitely take Xiao Nian with him.
When refugees appear, you have to be careful about everything.
After Su Bi and Lin Tiancheng gave Qin Nianhao some instructions, the two of them headed for the border first.
Mrs. Li said to Qin Nian that they would have to go to the west to buy good eggs in a month, so it would be better to buy a few young hens and a newly grown rooster now.
In this way, your own chickens can lay eggs, and each one will be useful.
Qin Nian thought about it and it made sense.
Mrs. Li and Yao Hua took Geng Tian to the county town, where they carefully selected seven young hens and a newly grown rooster from the market and pushed them back in a cart.
Qin Nian said that there were refugees now, and there was no guarantee that they would come and steal chickens, so it would be useless even if there were dogs to discover them.
Most of the refugees had no food and were extremely hungry. When they were caught stealing chickens, they resorted to robbing.
She asked Mrs. Li to return to her home in Dawa Village to raise chickens so that the refugees would not dare to come to the village to steal things.
If anything happens, you can go next door and call Geng Zhenhai and Ye Meizi.
Qin Nian knew that Geng Feng lived in the mountains and rarely came down.
Before Granny Li returned to the village, Qin Nian discussed with her, "Grandma, Geng Feng has been stuck with Tang Xiaomei, and it's unlikely that he'll get rid of her in this lifetime.
In this case, let’s cancel the engagement and return the eight taels of silver as betrothal gift to them.”
Mrs. Li sighed, "Geng Feng was such a good young man, but he was betrayed by his own aunt.
Can things still turn around?"
Qin Nian shook his head: "Given the character of Geng Zhenlan and Tang Xiaomei, it is unlikely that they will let Geng Feng go.
Let's not bother with this matter anymore and return the betrothal gifts."
After saying that, Qin Nian handed Li Pozi a cloth bag and said, "Grandma, there are fifteen taels of silver in it.
When you return to the village, go find Wu Kuaitui and go to Geng Feng's house with her to cancel the engagement.
They gave eight taels as betrothal gift, and the remaining seven taels were enough to buy other things.”
Mrs. Li sighed and followed Geng Tian, who was pushing a cart of chickens, back to the village.
Qin Nian gained some experience after raising two batches of caged chickens last year.
She doesn't plan to use willow or bamboo branches to weave the chicken coop this year, as that is too laborious and easily twisted.
She planned to use thin wooden strips to nail the chicken coops. They were all designed, each chicken coop was half a meter high and twenty meters long, with buckles, so it could be connected and disassembled.
Five chicken cages connected together would be one hundred meters long, and the chicks could move back and forth inside like strolling chickens.
Leave enough gap so that you can stick your head out and pick up some vegetable leaves at any time.
What is lacking right now is wood. We have to hire people to go up the mountain to saw trees, and then ask the village carpenters to peel the bark of the trees and split them into small strips to make them in the greenhouse.
After finishing one, you can carry one out. It is very convenient.
