Jian Ning took another bowl from the herb room and scooped a bowl of spiritual spring water for Qiu Ge. She touched Qiu Ge's head, nodded her chin towards the cave entrance, and said to Ding Youtian, "Let's go."
The guns and ammunition in the armory will always be there, but after they are all taken out, they will be automatically replenished after midnight. Since she is here, she naturally needs to continue to stockpile weapons.
This wasn't the first time Ding Youtian had seen Jian Ning move weapons with his mind. He couldn't help but marvel at the boxes of ammunition appearing out of thin air and stacking neatly. It suddenly occurred to him that these weapons must have come from somewhere in Jian Ning's past, and he frowned.
After Jian Ning finished moving the weapons, he asked, "Madam, isn't the place where your troops store these weapons unattended? These are all real weapons. If they find out they're missing some weapons one day, will they guard them more closely so they can't get them back?"
Jian Ning was stunned by his question. She secretly asked the system in her heart, would something like what Ding Youtian said happen? But even after asking her several times, the system didn't respond at all. It was as silent as if it was dead.
If we ignore her, the situation that Ding Youtian is worried about will most likely not occur.
But it's better not to say anything definitive, so Jian Ning shook her head, "I can't answer you that, because I don't know either. But I don't think so. Existence is the hard truth. Although I don't understand such fantasy things, it's like you say the first humans in the world were transformed by gods from fish, so many people don't eat fish, but we say humans evolved from apes, which you can understand as monkeys. Similarly, no one eats monkeys here."
When Jian Ning was young, he firmly believed that humans evolved from apes. As an adult, he did have doubts. Apes come in male and female varieties, so where did the first pair of apes come from? They couldn't have just popped out of a rock like Sun Wukong, could they?
I don't understand, my head hurts just thinking about it.
She would rather believe that the first humans were molded from mud by the goddess Nuwa, who then blew her air into them, turning them into real people one by one, and then multiplied from generation to generation.
"Forget it. I won't bother with that. I don't care if it's a fish or a monkey. As long as I know my wife is here, these things will not be cut off. If the Yue Kingdom dares to invade... Oh, by the way, what happened when you and Jincheng went to the Yue Kingdom? How is the matter with Ma Lao going? And did Shopkeeper Chen see anyone?"
Jian Ning thought that it was not long before midnight, so he might as well wait until midnight to replenish the goods and finish the transportation before going back. So he pulled him into the Baicaojian and sat on the grass under the fruit tree. He briefly told him about his trip to the Moon Kingdom from beginning to end.
"Being able to be buried in his homeland, I believe Father Song's spirit in heaven will be comforted. If the country hadn't been destroyed, why would he and his daughter have wandered for over ten years? If everyone in the world could abide by the law, not harbor extravagant desires, and not plunder others' property, and if this were the case between people and between countries, wouldn't there be many more incidents and the pain of separation be avoided?"
"Alas, it's all because of greed that it ruins people! Throughout history, countless people have lost their lives because of this!"
Ding Youtian sighed and turned to look at the armory behind him. He really didn't want to have the chance to use those weapons with great destructive power.
Jane Ning also didn't want that. War would kill people, especially the civilians affected by the war. Many people were separated from their families and displaced.
She couldn't help but sigh.
Ding Youtian hurriedly held her hand. "I'm sorry. You've been working so hard these days, and I sighed, causing you so much worry. Stop thinking about these things. Throughout the dynasties, the monarchs of the Central Plains have never taken the initiative to provoke war with other countries. But if another country wants to provoke trouble, as a Central Plains person, I will never agree. I will have to fight them. Even for our children and for the millions of people in the Central Plains, we must strike them head-on and teach them a lesson!"
When he mentioned the baby, Jian Ning remembered to ask him what had happened to Erniu and Sanniu, and whose baby had they beaten?
"Hey, those two used to fight behind closed doors, one day a cat and one day a dog. But now they've gotten ahead of themselves and teamed up to beat up some boys from the county school. They were left with bruises and bloody faces. I've already paid them compensation, but I didn't force them to apologize. After all, they weren't wrong, but I just paid them some money for medicine because they beat them up so badly."
He recounted the whole story. Yesterday, three boys from the county school blocked a boy in the alley after school. The reason was that the teacher asked a question in class, and the leader of the three boys did not answer it. The boy who was blocked answered it and was praised by the teacher.
The boy in charge and the boy being blocked were neighbors. Both families were business owners, and their adults had a feud and didn't interact with each other. The boy in charge called two good friends and, after school, they cornered the boy in the alley and set up a three-on-one fight. Erniu and Sanniu happened to be passing by on their way home from school. Sanniu saw the three-on-one fight and stepped forward to scold them for being unethical and told them to fight one-on-one if they could.
Sanniu has always been a person who abides by the rules and does not tolerate any injustice. She just stepped forward to say something fair. The boy in the lead had a cloth shop at home and relied on his family's wealth to act like a bully. When he saw Sanniu, a girl, jumping out to meddle in his affairs, he got furious and shouted that it was none of her business and even slapped her in the chest as if to push her.
He attacked with a three-stroke attack. Sanniu cursed him as shameless and dodged to the side, then kicked him in the knee. The boy felt pain and waved his hands, shouting, "Come on!" The other two boys who had been following him for a long time to eat and drink responded and rushed towards Sanniu.
Erniu was not happy when she saw this, and she swung her schoolbag and hit the leading boy on the head. She and Sanniu had been learning martial arts from Jian Ning since they were young, and they were quite skilled. How could those three boys be their match?
When they clasped their hands together, someone in the alley recognized Erniu and Sanniu and shouted that they were the daughters of the county magistrate. Upon hearing this, the two freeloaders left the cloth shop owner's son behind and ran away in a very unrighteous manner.
The boy who was blocked by the three of them also ran away.
The little bully didn't care about whether the county magistrate was rich or not. His family had plenty of money. From childhood to adulthood, he only knew that money was useful. No matter how big the problem was, his mother would cover him up. He didn't care. What's more, his opponents were two girls younger than him, so he didn't take them seriously. He rushed towards Sanniu again, howling.
He didn't know any martial arts, and he always hit people in the face or chest. He always attacked from the top three directions first. His arrogance was very similar to that of Ding Gui and Ding Quan in the past. Sanniu was annoyed for a moment and did not show any mercy when she attacked.
The same goes for the second girl. The two girls used their fists and kicks to beat the little bully to the ground. His mother naturally refused to do it when her precious son was beaten into a fat pig's head. This morning, she dragged him and came to the Yamen to play drums and complain, causing a big fuss.
This could be considered school bullying. After learning the whole story, Jian Ning spat, "I think that boy deserves to be beaten. If you allow him to go down like that, he'll be a disaster when he grows up!"
"Okay, this matter is over. I'm only worried about Shopkeeper Chen right now. He's probably in danger. I hope nothing unexpected happens to him."
Yes, when Jian Ning mentioned Shopkeeper Chen, his heart sank.
