Chapter 161 A pair of male and female insects
After dinner.
The four old men called Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng into the room.
They brought out a box filled with children's toys, including spinning tops, wave drums, cymbals, kites, pottery whistles, bamboo dragonflies, Luban locks, keys, diabolos...
Nan Jiao was deeply moved when she saw the purely handmade toys.
"This is for the two children," said Old Man Song.
Old Man Zong picked up the spinning top and said with a kind smile, "This is Baoer's favorite. She can play with it for a long time by herself. She also likes to play with the keys."
"Boer looks cute and lively, but she is actually very sensitive and lacks love. Even if she feels sad or wronged, she won't say it easily." Old Man Sun said slowly.
"She is a picky eater, but in order to support us, she would eat up all the food every time. Fortunately, she found you, so she doesn't have to suffer such a hardship anymore." Old Man Yi's eyes were red.
Nan Jiao was moved when she heard their words. "Thank you for taking care of Bao'er for the past four years. Qin State welcomes you anytime."
Zhan Beiheng looked at them and assured them, "You don't have to worry about life outside the island. As long as I am here, I will do my best to protect you."
The four old men looked at them at the same time.
"We appreciate your kindness, but we don't plan to leave here for the time being." Old Man Song said. This was what they had discussed.
Zhan Beiheng stopped persuading him.
Maybe they have really adapted to life here.
"Come here, this box contains poison powder and poison pills. They are for you to use for self-defense." Old Man Zong patted another wooden box.
"Thank you." Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng said in unison. They didn't expect that they also had gifts.
"In the bottle is a pair of male and female gnats. You can adopt them by dropping blood. They can attack and find each other no matter how far apart they are."
Old Man Zong handed them two bottles respectively.
Nan Jiao took it and said, "This is a good thing."
When she was in Miaojiang, she learned the art of raising dragonflies from Old Man Xiao and knew how to raise dragonflies. She was planning to try it out after returning to the capital, after all, it could be used for self-defense.
Zhan Beiheng held the bottle. Are they taking advantage of Baoer?
Right after.
The four old men told them a lot about Baoer's likes and dislikes, as well as many of the habits she had developed since childhood, and the good ones could be continued.
Let them teach her to change the bad ones.
Nan Jiao was deeply moved after hearing this. "Don't worry, we will take good care of Bao Er. When we have the chance, we will definitely bring them to see you."
The four nodded.
Children are happiest when they are with parents they believe are reliable.
After all, we have been together for quite a few days.
They have lived their whole lives, so they still have the ability to judge people.
"Seniors, how long have you been on the Island of Sin?" Nan Jiao asked curiously.
"It's been decades, why are you asking this?" Old Man Song stroked his goatee and looked at him with a smile.
Nan Jiao rolled her eyes and asked the question in her mind, "Have you heard that there is a treasure on this island?"
He betrayed her for the treasure map and killed his companions in Shura Gate. It was definitely not a coincidence that he came here later.
After all, with his ability.
He didn't have to come here to avoid her.
Could it be that the treasure on the treasure map is located on the Island of Sin?
She had seen that picture.
It's quite complicated.
She studied it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she finally looked for him. She didn't expect that her initiative to take out the treasure map would kill so many of her companions.
During that time, she was in pain, blamed herself and felt guilty.
I was desperate to find him, so I went to the Island of Sin four years ago.
"Treasure? What treasure?" Old Man Yi asked puzzledly.
"We have never heard of any treasure here. If there was, we would have dug it out long ago." Old Man Sun smiled like he was obsessed with money.
"Is there any treasure?" Old Man Zong asked curiously.
"Why do you think there is a treasure here?" Old Man Song looked at her.
Seeing that they really didn't know, Nan Jiao said, "Four years ago, someone came here and stole my treasure map."
"Who is it?" Old Man Song frowned.
"He is a man with great disguise skills. Did anything special happen on the island four years ago?" Nan Jiao frowned. Perhaps she was overthinking it.
He may not have really come to the Island of Sin.
He spread that news deliberately in order to lure her here and kill her.
The four of them thought about it carefully, then shook their heads.
Nan Jiao blinked and smiled, "The four seniors can wander around the island if they have nothing to do. There may be treasures here."
She is not so obsessed with the treasure now, but she doesn't want that person to get it either.
"That's fine. Anyway, we don't have anything else to do except fiddling with herbs and poisons." Old Man Song said cheerfully with a smile on his face.
Nan Jiao nodded, then she and Zhan Beiheng left with two boxes each.
The next day.
After breakfast, Nan Jiao and her group planned to leave the Island of Sin.
The four old men tried hard to suppress the warmth in their eyes and said goodbye to them with a smile on their faces. It wasn't a farewell forever, so there was no need to cry.
seaside.
Baoer and Yoyo hugged them separately.
"You should kill all the animals I raise in my yard. Don't waste them." Jiang Yao felt a little sad when he thought of the chickens and ducks he raised with great care.
So early in the morning, he caught a few and brought them on board to eat on the way.
"You don't have to explain this. Since you're not coming back anyway, we have to eat them all." Old Man Zong said proudly.
"Welcome to Qin State. I will remember your care for Baoer and me over the years." Jiang Yao said gratefully.
As for the origins of these four old men, he had no idea.
But he was sure that they were definitely not ordinary people.
"Let's go, hurry up." Old Man Sun said with a smile.
"Master, you must take good care of yourselves. I will come back to see you." Chen Dapang said with tears in his eyes, feeling reluctant to leave.
Although he complained about them.
But in his heart, they are family.
"You little rascal, if you don't take good care of Baoer, my stick is ready!" Old man Yi said fiercely, puffing his beard and glaring.
Fatty Chen: “…”
Nan Jiao led everyone onto the boat quickly.
The four old men stood on the shore and watched the boat leave. They did not look away until the boat became a tiny dot.
The four of them sighed at the same time, and finally returned the same way with a lonely back view.
…
The capital of Qin.
The general's residence was decorated everywhere, and it was full of joy.
Mu was so happy that the palace had set a date for Zhiyan and Prince Rui's wedding, which would be in five days. She was busy from morning to night these days.
To prepare Zhiyan's dowry and various other things.
This time she wants to marry her into Prince Rui's palace with great ceremony.
Let the whole capital know that she is marrying off her daughter.
Mu had just put down her teacup when Aunt Qiu, the housekeeper beside her, came in and said, "Madam, the old lady wants you to come over. It seems to be about the dowry for the fourth young lady."
"I understand. Let's go take a look." Mu stood up and walked outside, looking unhappy.
I don't know what the old lady is looking for.
