C111 Good People and Bad People (1/2)
”Then, Second Brother, do you think Manager Ning is a bad person?”
”Look again, it's not so easy to distinguish a person's good from bad. There's a landlord in An City who often makes porridge. He looks like a good person, but do you know?” He really does despise the beggars around him for putting rat poison in the porridge. ”
”Why is he so bad?” Le Shiyi suddenly crawled into the blanket, as if he was frightened by what Le Er had said.
”Therefore, do not easily believe that a person is not a good person and must have patience.”
”I understand Second Brother.” The two beggars used their lives as an example to temper their patience.
The night became even darker, and Ning Yan changed into her clothes again, heading towards the foot of the mountain.
He took a small cloth bag and put a bag of sand on the riverside. After tying it to his ankle, he then found a path and ran up the mountain.
After half an hour, Ning Yan's forehead started to be drenched in sweat, and after an hour, her legs were sore.
After he had endured his limit, the aching pain in his throat disappeared and his steps became lighter.
After running to the mountain people's residences, Ning Yan stopped in her tracks. If she really wanted to find someone to go to the northwest, then these mountain people were undoubtedly the most suitable place for him.
In order to live in the mountains, not only should they be on guard against the wild beasts in the mountains, but also the soldiers that the local officials would send over from time to time.
To the northwest, even if they met bandits, they would still be able to fight with their lives on the line.
Moreover, Chen Huo did not show it to others.
After observing for a few days, Ning Yan realized that whether it was Chen Huo or Zhou Yi, these two people were extremely self-disciplined.
His martial arts were also very sharp.
Chen Huo was someone who could kill ten men at the same time when fighting Gouzi Bay.
If it was a battle of attrition, Chen Huo could kill all the villagers in the village with his powerful fighting strength.
The mountaineers had to have a rational identity. If they wanted to have a better one, they had to have more money, but … It was not easy to do in the Deputy Governor Bai.
He observed the gathering place of the mountain people for a while.
Ning Yan realized that there were even a few eight to nine year old children among the patrolling villagers.
It wasn't because of the pressure on the seedlings, but because of the ability to observe and nurture these children since they were young.
Ning Yan was even more satisfied.
If she could recruit these people, she wouldn't have to hide in the Gouzi Bay anymore. She could totally become a bandit and live a carefree life like that.
It was a pity that she was already a mother when she transmigrated.
Since they were both mothers, they had to have a proper identity at the very least. Ning Yan understood more about the importance of being taught by words and deeds than anything else.
After circling around the mountain people gathering, Ning Yan had a basic understanding of the situation of these people, so she walked down the mountain.
After getting some distance away from the gathering place of the villagers, Ning Yan let loose her footsteps and ran down the mountain.
He returned to the village and slowly walked home.
Ning Yan's hands and feet were still aching from the heat as she boiled a pot of hot water. She dipped a towel in the hot water and applied it onto her shoulder, arm and other muscles.
Ning Yan reached out and patted her back a few times.
Turning her head to look at the pair of green eyes, Ning Yan was shocked. She immediately pulled out her dagger and realised that the green eyes were actually furry.
Patting her chest, Ning Yan got up and headed towards her room. After sleeping for two hours, she heard the rooster crowing and instantly opened her eyes.
Walking out of the bedroom, Old Biddy Jia had already prepared the breakfast milk.
Before she even had the chance to eat, the knocking sounds came from outside. The moment Ning Yan opened the door, she saw Zhao Liang and suddenly remembered that today was the day to pay taxes.
”The officials are over at the ancestral hall. Remember to go there early. You'll have to queue up if you go there late.”
”I know.” Ning Yan replied.
He turned around and instructed Chen Huo to send the Old Biddy Jia to the county city.
