Five thousand coins was almost three taels of silver. Jian Ning took the chicken whose leg was bitten off by the fur ball from him. Seeing that there was a bald spot on the chicken's back, he was afraid that it wouldn't be sold for even forty coins. "Are you sure you're not making fun of me?"
Ding Youtian smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you'll see the answer tomorrow."
He looked confident, and Jane Ning couldn't help but look at the chicken carefully again. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything special about it.
Forget it, she decided to prepare the chicken leg so that he could sell it for as much money as possible.
As for the five thousand coins he mentioned, that’s bullshit!
She doesn't dream that.
"No!" Ding Youtian stopped her when he saw the medicine box in her hand. "You don't need to treat her. If you do, she won't be worth anything."
Now Jian Ning was completely confused about what he was up to. "If you don't want to treat it, then don't treat it. But there's one thing: if you can't keep your promise tomorrow, don't blame me for selling you out cheaply!"
"That depends on who you sell it to. If the buyer is you, I won't take a penny. How about giving it away for free?" Ding Youtian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Go to hell!" Jian Ning glared at him unhappily, snatched the other dead chicken from his hand, took it to the kitchen, first put the chicken with broken legs in a basket, then dealt with the dead chicken, and asked Da Niu to send it to Tian's place.
What's the best thing to give Xiaomai in the evening?
Jian Ning was a little worried. She wanted to give him the gun that Ma Xiaomai used last time, but she was afraid that he would get into trouble with it. When she accepted Yang Jinyu as her apprentice, she gave him the medical book that Grandma Wu gave her. She didn't have any martial arts books, and even if she did, Ma Xiaomai could only recognize a few words now.
After thinking for a while, she walked towards the room.
Ding Youtian was lying on the bed reading a book. Jian Ning walked over and said, "Please write a few words for me."
"What's the use?" Ding Youtian raised his eyes and asked.
"There has to be some kind of gesture when accepting a disciple. It doesn't feel good to come back empty-handed."
"Only the disciple pays homage to the master, so don't be empty-hearted."
"Just tell me whether you want to write or not! Writing a couplet is a token of my appreciation, and I'd be embarrassed to leave it empty-handed. If you don't write, don't eat my cooking anymore. It's up to you."
She turned to leave when Ding Youtian stopped her, "Write, write, write! It's just a few words, what's so difficult? Just write."
Jian Ning went to grind ink and asked Ding Youtian to write eight characters: "Study hard and make progress every day!"
Ma Xiaomai only liked to wield swords and guns, and he felt quite regretful when he received this calligraphy. If he had been given the gun, he would have jumped three feet high. However, someone was willing to pay 12,000 taels of gold to purchase this calligraphy, which made him a fortune.
This is a later story, let’s not talk about it for now.
Jane Ning watched him finish the work in one stroke. After putting down her brush, she tilted her head and looked at it for a long time. Although she was not good at calligraphy, she knew how to appreciate it. She sighed inwardly that this man was still quite capable. He wrote a few words with such force that they penetrated the paper, like iron painting and silver hooks.
But she wouldn't praise him in person, lest he become cocky in front of her, and nod his head in a fake, "Not bad."
It's still good, why are you still looking at it for so long?
Ding Youtian didn't expose her, but only reminded her: "It's still early. Even if you are officially accepting me as your disciple, we can go when the banquet is almost done and Ma Xiaomai invites us."
He glanced at her and said, "Your clothes are nice, but you changed a little early."
"I do, it's up to you!"
As Jian Ning finished speaking, there was movement in the armory. She glanced at Ding Youtian. He already knew that she and Ma Fu had both traveled through time, so there was no need to avoid him. She silently chanted a mantra, raised her right hand, and drew a half circle. A series of mountains appeared in the void, and she heard the roar of a drone taking off.
Halfway up the mountain, white mist filled the air. Jian Ning looked for a long time before she spotted Ma Fuquan. She raised her hand and typed a line of words on the electronic screen: [What are you doing on the mountainside?]
Ma Fuquan: [Xiaomi and the others also want some spirit pets, let's look for them.]
Jian Ning: [There's a primeval forest behind us, with lots of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Be careful.]
Ma Fuquan: [By the way, I found several traps along the way. Prey may be dwindling at the foot of the mountain. Some villagers are digging traps further up the mountainside. This is unsafe. Talk to the village head and clan leader and have the villagers set traps at the foot of the mountain. It's too dangerous up there.]
Jian Ning: [Okay, you should be careful too.]
In their previous life, their special police team often frequented the border tropical forests. She was not worried that anything would happen to Ma Fuquan, but it was indeed dangerous for the villagers to move the trap to the mountainside.
Dingjia Village was surrounded by mountains. Aside from the mountain at the back, which belonged to Dingjia Village, most of the other hilltops had been purchased by wealthy individuals from the town and county. Many had built manors at the foot of the mountains, with dedicated guards to protect them. However, some of the remaining hilltops weren't guarded by the government, not even by forest rangers. It only took a few more steps to set traps there, and there was plenty of prey. Why risk going halfway up the mountain?
Jian Ning heard the village head and clan leader mention this while they were drinking and chatting. In the early years, tigers could be seen dragging their children and girls through the village at dusk. Later, as the village grew in population and villagers lit bonfires at dusk, tigers and other ferocious beasts gradually stopped appearing.
"What are you doing?" Ding Youtian only saw her hands moving, and her eyes were fixed on a certain place in front of her. After observing for a long time, he still didn't understand what she was doing.
"I'm looking at the scenery."
"Scenery?" Ding Youtian paused for a moment. "You look at the scenery, and I look at you. You are more beautiful than the scenery."
Ding Youtian wasn't complimenting Jian Ning on her looks; he was just thinking her behavior was odd and must be hiding something. Jian Ning knew what he meant, and she silently chanted a mantra again, then wiped it with her hand, and the scene before her vanished.
"I'm telling you, it might be hard for you to understand right away." However, Jian Ning still tried to tell him about Baicaojian. Unexpectedly, he understood it immediately, and his understanding was the same as Feng Qingzi's. "It sounds similar to the world in a dream. So I understand. This morning you hid in that Baicaojian you mentioned, right?"
"Yes." Jane Ning thought of the golden light radiating from his body and couldn't help but want to give it a try. "Close your eyes and I'll see if I can take you in to see it for yourself."
As a result, she went in and he was still there.
"Come out quickly, I can't get in."
Jane Ning showed up and heard the villagers who were digging the cellar in the backyard saying that they had finished their work. She decided to go to Tian's house to help prepare the meal. There was no need to wait for Qiao to invite her.
"I'd better go to the Ma family to help first. Oh, by the way, Uncle Liu won't be there tonight, so I asked you to bring him food. When the food is ready, I'll ask Sister Tian to serve a bowl first. You can take it to him and come back later."
"Okay, then you go first. I'll go to see my master and be there soon." Ding Youtian was still worried about Blind Liu. After the villagers who helped dig the cellar left, he locked the door and went to Blind Liu's house with Maoqiu.
