Jian Ning nodded in satisfaction, took Xiao Wuyu's sleeve, and left the Immortal Mansion with him.
People coming here need to be properly vetted first, otherwise they won't be able to move around here in the future.
He led him to the outside of the base, to a nearby intersection, and then they walked back. The guards at the gate recognized Jian Ning.
Although I don't know when she left, I didn't ask.
"Sister-in-law, who is this?"
"Oh, Xiao Li, this is a distant relative of your Captain Xiao's family. He's come to stay with us. He'll be staying at our place for now. Is it alright if he just registers here?" Jian Ning asked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, normally newlyweds should be quarantined for a day, but since they are relatives of yours, this procedure can be skipped."
"Have Captain Xiao check him for any wounds later. Just make sure he doesn't bring in any viruses."
After Xiao Li finished speaking, he took out a notebook and signed it for Xiao Wuyu. He had never used a pen before, and held it in his hand like a calligraphy brush, writing in traditional Chinese characters.
It's crooked and messy, not even as neat as a first-grader's handwriting.
Xiao Li gave him a strange look, probably thinking to himself, "What era is this? There are still illiterate people here."
Did he not even attend the ninth grade of compulsory education? I wonder which remote mountain village he came from. He doesn't mean to discriminate against anyone, he just doesn't understand.
"Sister-in-law, you should also sign the guarantee, and then have Captain Xiao give him a physical examination. This is very important."
"Only with proof that you're not injured can you get a temporary residence permit to stay at our base. This is very important, Mom; you already asked about it, don't forget."
This is a guard post, and it's not convenient to conduct inspections, so Xiao Li didn't make any forceful requests.
"Thank you, Xiao Li. I'll take him inside now, and Xiao Lingfeng will take him to get the sponsorship certificate tomorrow."
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she took Xiao Lingfeng's arm and entered the base.
After walking a short distance, and estimating that the soldiers on guard could no longer hear their conversation, they asked with concern, "Brother Xiao, is your leg alright?"
"It's alright. I've been looking forward to the day when I can walk normally again. I'll be counting on these two legs to help me in the future, so don't worry. I'll take good care of my body."
As Xiao Lingfeng spoke, he looked at the distant sky and smiled slightly. The outside world actually had a sense of freedom about it.
Although the conditions and facilities were not as good as those in the Immortal Abode, he still quite liked the wind, the mountains, and the architectural style, which was completely different from what he had seen before.
"That's good. Let's go back to my house first, and I'll prepare a guest room for you to stay in for the time being."
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Jian," Xiao Wuyu said politely as always.
When she got home, Aunt Wang was sitting in the yard picking chives. She was taken aback when she saw Jian Ning leading a strange man in.
"Xiao Ning, who is this?"
"Oh, this is my friend Xiao Wuyu, who is staying here for a few days. Ling Feng knows him too."
"Oh, Xiao Xiao, we're from the same clan. Come in and sit down, don't be shy."
Jian Ning rarely brought outsiders in, so Aunt Wang warmly welcomed Xiao Lingfeng into the house and then washed and served him some fruit.
Then he asked, "I just happened to have some chives, and I was thinking of making some chive dumplings. Does Xiao Xiao have any dietary restrictions?"
"Auntie, I eat everything, you don't need to take special care of me."
"That's good. Xiao Ning, you sit here with me. I'll go make dumplings, it'll be ready in a little while." Aunt Wang said as she went back to work.
“Your mother-in-law is a good person. You can tell from her face that she is blessed. She must have been a very kind person in her past life.”
"Brother Xiao, you can actually read faces!" Jian Ning said with a smile, then walked over.
"There's another empty bedroom on the first floor, which will make it easier for your wheelchair to get in and out. I'll tidy it up for you, and you can stay here for now."
"This is troublesome!" Xiao Lingfeng also stood up and walked over. This bedroom was on the other side of the separate kitchen. It was actually a maid's room, but it was not small, about eight or nine square meters.
The room was furnished with tables and chairs, and Jian Ning used a dust-removing spell to clean away the dust.
Then he took out brand-new bedding from his space and spread it on the bed. He also put some vacuum-packed snacks on the bedside table, along with two bottles of liquor and a case of beer.
"Brother Xiao, the conditions here are a bit basic."
These chicken feet and duck necks are ready to eat right out of the box. If you're feeling adventurous tonight and want to have a drink, these can be a great snack. I live upstairs; feel free to send me a message if you need anything.
Tomorrow during the day, I'll take you out to see the base.
"This is already very good. It's a hundred times better than my treehouse that has nothing at all. At least it's sheltered from the wind and rain."
Xiao Lingfeng touched the soft bedding with his hand and felt very satisfied.
"Brother Xiao, you should rest for a bit. I'll go help with the cooking and come get you later."
Jian Ning may not be good at much else, but she can at least help make dumplings. She shouldn't let her mother-in-law do all the work by herself.
“Okay,” Xiao Wuyu nodded in agreement, took off his shoes, and sat on the bed. This was much softer than his old bed. It was very comfortable to sit on.
Dinner wasn't just dumplings; since it was a home-cooked meal, Aunt Wang also cooked two dishes, plus fried peanuts and a salted duck egg she had pickled herself.
They were all cut up, arranged on a plate, and served.
Xiao Lingfeng returned just then. As soon as he entered the house, Jian Ning pulled him aside and told him about Xiao Wuyu's appearance.
“I gave him a disguise pill, and now he has a different face. I was just worried that Mom wouldn’t be able to tell which of you two is her son. He can walk normally now, so don’t be too surprised when you see him later.”
"Alright, I'll go check on Brother Xiao. Where is he staying?"
"The maid's room next to the kitchen on the first floor." Jian Ning pointed, and Xiao Lingfeng nodded, walked over and knocked on the door twice.
"Brother Xiao, I'm coming in."
Watching him push open the door and go inside, Jian Ning didn't pay attention to what they said inside. Anyway, when they came out, they were arm in arm, just like old friends.
So Aunt Wang really didn't suspect anything. She just thought it was a bit strange that she was still wearing a baseball cap even though it was almost summer.
Sweetie and Xiao Wuyu hit it off immediately. After dinner, she sat on his lap and asked him to tell her a story.
Xiao Wuyu was extremely learned, so this was no problem for him. However, the stories he told were very old and written in obscure classical Chinese.
Although Tian Tian didn't quite understand what it meant, she still supported Xiao Wuyu, praising him for his eloquent delivery.
This made him very happy, and he even regretted not refining the disguise pill sooner. If he had, he could have come out much earlier.
