Ah Man finally got what she wanted and set off for the town. She was jumping and skipping at first, but she slowed down halfway. Seeing this, Jian Ning had no choice but to squat down. She immediately climbed onto her back, not forgetting to flatter her, and put her arms around Jian Ning's neck and said with a smile: "Auntie, you are the best."
"Better than your father?"
"My dad is the best, and my aunt is the second best."
"What about your mother? Your mother is ranked third?"
"I don't have a mother. My mother died when she gave birth to me. I have never even seen her."
"Then you are quite pitiful."
"Aunt, I'm not pitiful. My dad loves me very much. My grandparents and aunt also love me very much."
"Oh, what does your grandfather do?" Jane Ning asked casually.
"My grandfather is the Grand Tutor, and my uncle is the Crown Prince."
Oh my god! Is he so powerful? Jian Ning suddenly felt that the price he asked for the fox fur last time was too low. If he had known that Huo Jincheng's family background was so powerful, he should have added at least one zero, no, two zeros.
It’s a big loss, damn it.
When they arrived in town, Jian Ning first went to Pu Ren Tang to borrow a carriage. As an all-round special police officer, she could ride a horse, and she learned how to drive a carriage from Xiao Si when she was returning from teaching Yang Jinyu two days ago.
"Master, can you please excuse me?" Yang Jinyu called her aside. He glanced at Ah Man, who was standing by the carriage, staring at him nervously. He said with difficulty, "Jin Cheng has something to do in the county town, so it's inconvenient for him to take Ah Man with him. If that's not possible, why not...let her stay with me?"
Jian Ning said "Oh", looked at Ah Man, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay. Let me take her to find Ma Xiaomai first. After we find her, I'll take her to see her father. She hasn't seen her father for a long time. I'll bring her back after they meet."
Yang Jinyu's expression relaxed, and she said happily, "That's good too. Ah Man probably hasn't seen Jin Cheng for half a year. When she sees Jin Cheng, she'll definitely listen if he asks her to come back with Master."
"Madam Jian." Xiao Si came over and said happily, "Grandpa ordered me to take Madam Jian to the county town. I'll drive the carriage. There's a section of the road that's a bit difficult to travel."
Jian Ning said, "No need. Please thank Grandpa for me. He must be worried that I don't know the way to the county town. I've been to the county town a few years ago and I know the way."
Xiao Si was familiar with Jian Ning and was grateful to her for saving his nephew. He was very happy to hear that his grandfather asked him to take Jian Ning on a trip. He was very willing to make this trip, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this.
"Aunt, let's go quickly." Ah Man was afraid that Jian Ning would not take her with her, so she ran up and pulled her towards the carriage.
"Then let's go." Jian Ning carried her onto the carriage, drove away from Pu Ren Tang, and asked someone for directions to the county town. She had never been to the county town before, so she naturally didn't know the way. It was just inconvenient to take Xiao Si with her, so she said that she had been there a few years ago.
Driving the carriage out of town, Jane Ning saw that the roads were deserted, and even if there were, they generally wouldn't be paying attention to the sky. So she released a drone equipped with a scent tracker. This was a new drone released after the arsenal was updated this morning. It had a scent recognition port below the touchscreen that could store scents, and the sniffer used moth antennas, which are the most sensitive chemical sensors among insects.
"Auntie, what is that?" She had just released the drone when Ah Man poked his head out and saw it.
She replied calmly, "That's my unique hidden weapon, Clairvoyance."
"Clairvoyance? Wow, Auntie, you're amazing. Can you use it to see where my dad is?"
"Yes, sit back down first, don't fall down accidentally. I will call you when I see your dad."
Ah Man now felt that Jian Ning was a little more capable than her father. No wonder she was able to save her father. She retracted her head and turned to look at Guo Guo, the spirit cat lying on the cushion next to her with squinting eyes. Just as she was about to move closer, Guo Guo's eyes suddenly widened. There was no kindness in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was refusing her to get close.
She was so angry that she crossed her arms and glared at it, cursing, "You ugly cat, you are so ugly, not even half as pretty as Snowball, the cat my grandma raised. I don't want to play with you, Auntie!" She stuck her head out and asked Jian Ning, "Is Guoguo a cat?
Jane Ning wasn't sure if it was a cat, but she knew it wasn't a feline; she felt it looked more like a weasel. She had no idea what was happening, but even though she had been the one who had rescued Guoguo and released it back into the forest, after following them home, it had always been Ding Youtian, not her, who was its favorite. Whenever Ding Youtian went to Blind Liu's house at night, it would run outside to wait for him, figuring he'd be back soon. It was truly bizarre.
After the carriage passed Jiabaoao and traveled another five or six kilometers, Guoguo began to grow restless, and the drone also sounded an alarm. Jian Ning clicked on the holographic sensor screen and zoomed in to see a two-story farmhouse in the valley to her left. The map showed it was only 1.6 kilometers away from her current location, almost reaching the county seat.
If they wanted to rescue Ma Xiaomai, they had to find out which room he was imprisoned in. After a moment's thought, Jian Ning turned around and lifted the curtain, only to find Ah Man asleep. No wonder she hadn't spoken in ages. Forget it, little brat. While she was asleep, she'd better put the carriage away in the Baicao Room. Don't let anyone lose the borrowed carriage.
She just didn't know if a horse could get in. Ma Fuquan's horse didn't get in last time. She tried it, but only she, Ah Man and Guo Guo got in. Ah Man was still in a suspended state, maintaining a sleeping position. A timer appeared next to her head, indicating that she could only stay there for six hours, and it would pop up automatically when the time was up.
Jian Ning looked at Ah Man thoughtfully.
Then she carried Ah Man out, drugged the horse, and tried again. This time, both the horse and the carriage went in.
It seems that she can only bring small creatures into Baicaojian. Any larger ones have to be knocked unconscious, and there is also a time limit.
She kicked the bewildered Guoguo out of the Baicao Room, picked up a backpack she had left there, and then carried Ah Man out. After waking her up, Jian Ning put her down and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
Ah Man rubbed his eyes and looked around, "Hey, where's the carriage?"
"I hid the carriage. Now I want to rescue Ma Xiaomai. Do you want to help me?"
Ah Man was still yawning and not fully awake until Jian Ning asked her a second time. She nodded vigorously, her eyes suddenly brightening up. "Yes, I want to help. How can I help you, Auntie?"
Jian Ning explained it to her in detail and asked her if she remembered it. She seemed to be fully awake and smiled, "I remember it. Don't worry, Auntie, I'm sure I can do it."
"Well done, Auntie believes in you. After Auntie puts on some makeup, we'll set off. After rescuing Ma Xiaomai, Auntie will send you to find your father."
Jian Ning took out some cosmetics from her backpack and quickly put on makeup. Afterwards, she turned into a middle-aged woman with pockmarks all over her face and dark yellow skin. Ah Man clapped her hands and cheered, "Oh my, Auntie has turned into an ugly old woman."
"By the way, from now on, call me Granny. Don't call me by the wrong name or you'll give me away. Let's go." She led Ah Man towards the manor in the valley...
