Chapter 58: Mission Target Detected
Tieguai Li was overjoyed. He never expected that he would not only find a suitable successor, but also a brilliant one with a photographic memory. He had truly gotten a great deal, and his ancestor had not lied to him.
For this reason, Tieguai Li intensified his teaching of Xiao Taohua. It didn't matter that she couldn't read; we could rely on her memory first! As long as she memorized everything, what was there to be afraid of in recognizing characters? Wouldn't she be able to tell what a character was at a glance?
Tieguai Li was so excited and thrilled that he wanted to howl!
Who would have thought that Tieguai Li would receive such a clever little darling!
Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!
Heavens above, oh no, the Heavenly Dao has accomplished its task and departed, concealing its merits and fame. How difficult it must have been for him to find a suitable way for his granddaughter to survive! He even resorted to supernatural means. Well, he refuses to admit that the previous act of chopping someone up was anything supernatural; that was the person's own fault!
Yes, don't try to reason with the will of Heaven; it is the ultimate truth!
Forget it, he should go and investigate that strange girl named Wang Yinhua. He had a bad feeling about this.
After taking one last look at her granddaughter who was studying diligently, Aunt Tiandao left with a smile.
Oh dear, my granddaughter is just so different, she's so eager to learn. Hmm, I need to give her more nourishment. I'll find some time to put some meat over there, and whatever pheasant, duck, or bird eggs are, I'll just let them fall casually at her doorstep.
After secretly feeling smug, Grandpa Tiandao's gaze fell on Wang Yinhua.
That's strange, really strange. If he were to take direct action, he really couldn't handle her.
"System, what should I do? What should I do now?" Wang Yinhua lay sprawled on the ground, completely limp and powerless.
"Please, host, take steps to win over the target of this mission."
"How can I conquer a game if I don't even have a target!"
"Please, host, take steps to win over the target of this mission."
"Ah!" Wang Yinhua was going crazy.
She never expected that she would die before she even got started, and that she would be sent to a farm for reformation because of what she had done. Not only was she not getting enough to eat every day, but she was also exhausted. She began to wonder whether her rebirth was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Please, host, take steps to win over the target of this mission."
Wang Yinhua was numb.
She doesn't even know if she'll be stuck here forever. (Strategy/Guide)
Instead of shooting her or putting her in jail, simply sending her to the farm seemed to be her greatest stroke of luck.
Still need a strategy guide?
Wang Yinhua chuckled softly.
Her experiences these past few days have made her feel, in a daze, that having a system doesn't necessarily make you the female lead; you could also be the villain.
"Beep, mission objective detected. Please complete the mission as soon as possible. Once completed, you can leave the farm."
Wang Yinhua suddenly looked up, and in her line of sight, a group of people were slowly walking in her direction...
Little Peach Blossom was unaware of what was happening at the distant farm; she was currently engrossed in learning with all her might and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Iron Crutch Li was equally focused on his teaching.
As for the grandson who ran away from home?
Sorry, he didn't even notice his grandson was missing.
While the old man and the young man were studying with great enthusiasm, Li Zhen pitifully squatted at the end of the alley with his arms crossed.
"Grandpa must have realized I'm missing by now, yeah, he must be worried sick. Humph, even if he's worried, I'm not going back!"
"What apprentice? Is your grandson more important than your apprentice? I'll make you lose your grandson!"
"What's so great about a little kid? And you even said I'm ugly? Am I ugly? I'm such a good-looking and handsome young man!"
"No matter how cute the little baby is, it's useless. From now on, we're enemies, the kind that will fight to the death!"
"Ugh, it's so hot! Why isn't Grandpa coming out to find me?" Muttering to himself, Li Zhen looked towards his front door, but still no one came out.
"Yes, Grandpa must be looking for it at home. He'll come out when he doesn't find it there. That's for sure."
Li Zhen was a little sleepy. He hadn't slept well last night and had gotten up late this morning, but he still wanted to sleep.
Hmph, he's not going back. He's run away from home!
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but close my eyes.
I don't know how much time passed.
"Gu..."
Li Zhen opened his eyes blankly; he was hungry.
But, "Why is it dark?"
wrong!
He jumped up!
Where is his grandfather?
Have they already come out to look for him?
Have you been looking for him all day and still haven't found him?
Thinking of this, Li Zhen hurriedly ran home.
Hmph, he'll definitely proudly tell Grandpa, "Are you scared yet? If you threaten him like that again, he'll run away from home again!"
"Yes, this is Panax notoginseng, and this is Angelica dahurica... Wow, Little Peach Blossom is amazing! She recognized them right away and remembers them so clearly!"
Little Peach Blossom proudly puffed out her little chest: "Master is even more amazing, Master knows everything."
"Oh my, Master, this is the culmination of decades of experience. Little Peach Blossom is truly amazing."
Little Peach Blossom smiled broadly.
She loves being praised, especially by such a great teacher.
Little Peach Blossom learned a lot today and realized that her master really knows a lot. She admires him very much.
"Come on, you must be tired after a long day. Let's call it a day and have dinner at Master's house later."
"Yes, I'll listen to Master."
"Good girl."
"Grandpa!" Li Zhen pointed accusingly at Tieguai Li.
Tieguai Li: ?
No wonder I felt something was missing today. Turns out I forgot about my grandson.
But what's wrong with this grandson? Why is he still causing trouble?
"Alright, aren't you tired after making a scene all day?"
"Grandpa, I ran away from home today! I ran away from home!"
"Really?" Tieguai Li thought for a moment, seemingly not having noticed.
"You didn't even look for me when I ran away from home, so you really don't love me anymore."
In such a serious situation, a "gurgle..." sound is particularly noticeable.
"Hungry? If you're hungry, hurry up and start a fire for me. We need to make dinner." Tieguai Li ordered his grandson to start the fire without any guilt.
Li Zhen rubbed his stomach; he was a little hungry. He gave a pitiful "oh." It's okay, he was hungry. He'd eat first, and then he'd argue with his grandfather!
Because it was Xiaotaohua's first day of school, Tieguai Li prepared the ingredients a day in advance: meat, eggs, and an old hen. For lunch, he simply stir-fried the eggs and stewed the chicken; dinner was when he had a complete three-dish meal.
"Little Peach Blossom, eat more. Your master's house is your home, so don't be shy."
"Understood, Master."
"Hey, I'll eat one chicken leg for lunch and another for dinner, that'll make a pair." Tieguai Li said, putting the remaining chicken leg into the small peach blossom bowl.
"The chef eats too."
"Yes, Master, eat."
Li Zhen angrily shoveled rice into his mouth. He was hungry, so he ate first! He took another bite! Huh? How come there's an extra chicken leg in the bowl?
Little Peach Blossom looked at Li Zhen with a smile: "Li Zhen, you are the junior, this chicken leg is for you."
Tieguai Li looked at his grandson.
Li Zhen: ...
Li Zhen looked at Xiao Taohua, the little girl was smiling, her eyes were squinting with laughter, and her face was chubby.
Li Zhen turned his head away, snorted coldly, and put the chicken leg back: "I won't fight with a kid for a chicken leg."
