"I'm thin? Look at you, you're almost round like a ball because you don't exercise. Stop doing nothing but eating and sleeping all day. Being too fat is bad for your health."
Jian Anping chuckled twice, took the communication talisman, and examined it carefully.
Jian Ning explained how to use it to him, then returned to her room. She went into the jade pendant's space and began her secluded cultivation.
This time, I brought all the spiritual items in the space and placed them around me, hoping to break through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
Once we're in seclusion here, another month will pass.
He had absorbed all the spiritual energy-containing items he had stored, and had only reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was just one opportunity away from reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining.
There was nothing that could be done in this situation. Jian Ning opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and let the spiritual energy in her body circulate again before standing up and stretching her body.
I went out into the yard and saw that all the grains and fruits were ripe.
Since the jade pendant's space had to be managed by the user, the fruits on the branches wouldn't fall down on their own even if they weren't picked. With a thought, they were all stored in the warehouse.
She then checked on the poultry and found they had almost finished their feed. She quickly refilled the containers and looked at the pigs in the pigpen; they were quite fat, probably weighing close to 300 pounds.
So I happily decided to eat it today.
He took out a machete, grabbed a pig, and chopped off its head with one stroke. It was a bit violent, but it worked. He also cleaned up the pig's hair quickly.
He used a sword technique directly on the pig, and the whole pig became smooth and shiny.
Then I used a fireball spell to roast the pig's trotters and head. After that, I gutted them and cleaned them up in just a few minutes.
They packed everything into large bags, and covered the bloodstains on the ground with soil. After leaving the space, they carried it to room 1603.
Aunt Wang opened the door for her, and Jian Ning quickly went inside. There wasn't much warmth in the room, and it was so cold outside, she didn't want to let all the warmth escape.
"Auntie, I brought you some pork. It's from my own pig, and it was just slaughtered."
"Thank you, Xiao Ning. Why didn't I hear any squeals when you were slaughtering the pig?" Aunt Wang coughed twice, took the bag, and put it on the ground.
"My room is soundproof, so Xiao Lingfeng hasn't come back yet?" Jian Ning frowned and asked, noticing that there was still no fire in the living room.
"No, not a single word. I'm so worried; I don't know if something happened to her." Wang
As the old woman spoke, she coughed a few more times, clearly not in good spirits.
"Auntie, do you have a cold? Do you have any medicine at home that's effective?"
"Yes, we have plenty. Lingfeng prepared a lot. I just got chilled when I got up last night. When you get old, it's not easy to get well from an illness. Come in and sit down. Tian Tian always talks about you."
Seeing Wang Da Niang's sallow face, Jian Ning felt a little anxious. While Wang Da Niang was walking into the house, Jian Ning used a healing talisman on her.
Once she opened the door and entered the bedroom, Aunt Wang immediately sensed something was different.
"Hey, Xiao Ning, why is it that as soon as I see you, my legs don't feel heavy anymore, my throat isn't itchy, and my head doesn't hurt anymore? It seems that my illness might be caused by missing you."
"That's possible, Tian Tian, what are you doing?" Jian Ning said with a smile, looking at Tian Tian lying on the kang covered with a big quilt, curled up into a ball.
"She's been like this these days, always hiding herself away and not saying a word."
I don't know if the child is sick. He's with this old woman every day, and I find him no joy at all.
Aunt Wang sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and sighed, pulling the quilt with her hand: "Tian Tian, your sister Ning is here, come out quickly."
There was still no movement from under the covers.
Jian Ning sensed something was wrong, so she went over and pulled back the blanket. She saw that the child's face was flushed red and his breathing was becoming very weak.
When I touched my forehead, it was burning hot.
"She has a fever, and she's wrapped in such a thick blanket. She's bound to get sick."
They quickly took off her thick cotton-padded coat. Aunt Wang was also anxious and ran out to fetch the first-aid kit.
She was almost in tears, and asked anxiously, "Xiao Ning, you're studying medicine, right? Is the child alright?"
"It's alright, Auntie, please get me a basin of warm water and a towel." Jian Ning said, taking the opportunity to undress Tian Tian and use a healing talisman on her.
She wiped her body with warm water again, and after a while, Tian Tian opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Jian Ning wiping her body with a towel, tears immediately streamed down her face.
"Sister Ning, I miss my mom. I want my mom and dad to come back."
His voice was very hoarse. It seems the kang (heated brick bed) was too hot, causing the child to get a sore throat. Then, the sudden change in temperature made him sick.
"Tian Tian, just wait a little longer. Once the ice outside melts and the floodwaters recede, we'll be able to contact your parents," Jian Ning said softly, helping her put her clothes back on.
"Then I want my uncle to come back. He's been gone for so long, will he abandon me like my parents did?"
Tears welled up in Tian Tian's big eyes, and she finally buried her face in Jian Ning's arms and cried.
"Oh dear, you're such a young child, why are you thinking so much? Your uncle went out to work, he'll be back in a few days, and Grandma is still at home, how could he abandon you?"
Aunt Wang sighed. Her anxiety these past few days had unknowingly infected her child. It was all because she couldn't keep her composure.
"Tian Tian, do you want some canned peaches? I'll bring you two jars in a bit. If you eat the canned peaches, you'll get better, and your uncle will be back soon. Do you believe what your sister is saying?"
Jian Ning touched her sweaty forehead; the fever had subsided. It seemed that her talisman had worked.
"I'm sure I have canned peaches at home, so my sister won't need to get any."
As Tian Tian spoke, she stood up and went to the cabinet next to her. She opened it and found it full of various canned goods, sausages, and snacks. It seemed that Xiao Lingfeng's reserves were quite sufficient.
"Sister Ning, let's eat together." Tian Tian took out a large jar of canned yellow peaches from the cabinet and handed it to Jian Ning.
“Okay, after eating this, you and Grandma will both be cured.” Jian Ning said, tapping the lid of the can with her hand and then gently twisting it open.
This made Tian Tian, who was standing next to her, widen her eyes in surprise. Her eyes were full of admiration.
Sister Ning is amazing! Even Uncle needs a knife to open a can, but Sister Ning can open it with her bare hands!
Aunt Wang had already brought over bowls and spoons, and each person shared some. The three of them sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and ate more than half of the large jar of peach preserves.
After eating, Tian Tian's spirits improved significantly, which delighted Aunt Wang. When Jian Ning left, she insisted on giving her two chickens.
“I know you have some at home. These are from the pigs that your aunt raised herself. If you don’t want them, I can’t keep the pork.”
