C26 (1/2)
The decocting medicine was a delicate process like thread piercing a needle. Chen Ping did it in a neat manner, immersing himself within it. The young man's body emitted a kind of inexplicable happiness.
In fact, besides practicing her swordplay, the girl was not very interested in anything else. She had left her hometown at such a young age and traveled the world by herself, living in such a rough way that she did not feel uncomfortable with the young man's house that was surrounded by walls. It was just that she had been living in the open.
The girl asked, ”Your left hand is fine?”
Chen Ping, whose left hand was wrapped in a cotton strip, was carrying a bowl of medicine with both hands. After the girl took over, he smiled and said, ”It's fine, I found some herbs to mash the wound with before I went back to the alley, I used this as a test for all kinds of injuries, it was told to me by an old man in the Yang family shop a long time ago. But I promised the old man not to spread it, otherwise, Miss Ning. It's just that today's visit to the medicine store was rather urgent, and I haven't seen that old man either. I only hope that he left at the last minute. ”
When the girl drank the medicine, her long eyebrows that did not resemble a willow leaf or a narrow sabre slightly frowned, but her expression did not change as she finished the soup, and after returning the porcelain bowl to the young man waiting at the side, she muttered: ”Such a good person, no wonder he is so poor, he deserves to be bullied.”
Before the youth could react, the young girl added, ”Don't mind me, I'm rather straight forward.”
The girl probably didn't know that the latter sentence was even more hurtful.
Chen Ping wanted to say something but hesitated.
The girl in black wiped the remnants of the medicinal soup off her mouth with her thumb, then sat upright and said in all seriousness: ”The saint who is in charge of this world today, the one you spoke of, Mister School, although I have the intention of helping you finish it so that you will have a safe life in the future, you should know that there is always a time when human resources are exhausted, and even if you are a saint, you are no exception. Furthermore, Mr. Qi's situation is not too good, and he seems to be unable to protect himself, so I'm afraid that he might not be able to control your life and death. I, Ning Yao, as a person in this world, will definitely repay you for what I have done, and if you glare at me, you will definitely take revenge! ”
”When manpower comes to an end, they will repay each other with a fountain of water, and when they are angry, they will repay each other with their grievances. A clay buddha will cross the river …” … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
At this moment, the young lady's heart is filled with unknown pride. Listen to me.
It was a pity that next door to Chen Ping, there lived a scholar who was very knowledgeable. Almost twice a day at dusk, the neighbors would have to recite the Book of Virtue to show their sincerity. Chen Ping had never eaten pork before, but he had also seen a pig running. He was no stranger to the scholarly saying, and even if there were some obscure words, he could probably guess them by looking at the context.
The young girl stared at Chen Ping, trying to find any shock, admiration, or doubt from the young boy's face. However, Chen Ping had a ”I understand, young lady, continue talking” expression, as if he was asking for a beating.
”For example, since you saved my life, I will naturally help you kill Old Dragon City's Wen Nanhua, or the Liu Zhimao of Shujian Lake. However, if you want to kill both of them, you will have to spend a lot of money to prevent any future troubles, because we have just met by chance, and don't have such deep feelings for each other, so you need to use a bag of gold and copper coins as compensation.”
The young lady quickly pointed to the bag of money, ”For example, I like this bag. The other two bags are for providing money, but they are better than the copper coins. It's not good and the inscriptions are not pleasing.”
Following that, the girl slightly raised her chin, ”If you are willing to pay me two bags of copper coins after this deal is completed, I will help you settle the Old Dragon City and Clouds Mountain.” Of course, if I died at the hands of Liu Zhi Mao, then there's no need to think about it, after all, my cultivation is not high right now, and I've only just entered the sixth level of martial arts. As a martial artist, my body is tough, and it's not enough to make the weather change, but as for the fifteenth level of the tower, I've only reached the middle fifth level, the Longmen realm.
This time, Chen Ping was truly confused.
The young girl suddenly became angry. Her realm was low and she had always felt ashamed of herself. Chen Ping's silly look of ”continue explaining to me, young lady” had undoubtedly stabbed at the girl's most sorrowful point.
Seeing the gloomy look on the girl's face, even a fool like Chen Ping knew that the situation wasn't good. He quickly changed the topic, ”Miss, why were your injuries so severe before? Why is it that you seem to have recovered by half?”
The young girl's brows lowered, her arms crossed over her chest, and said with a hoarse voice: ”At that time, I was indeed near death, if Daoist Master Lu hadn't saved me, I would have … … In any case, I owe you a huge favor, so I shouldn't have taken advantage of it and let you take out three bags of Golden Essence Copper. How can a person like Liu Zhimao be compared to my life? So I was in the wrong, just pretend that I didn't say anything, and after I leave the town, I will do my best to help you solve your worries, but before I say it, I, Ning Yao, will only try my best. I will not risk my life just because I know I will die … Change your life. ”
It was probably because the young girl had lowered her head to admit her mistake. It was too rare and hard to come by, so her mood was extremely depressed.
”What kind of bag is it?” Chen Ping asked.
The young girl pointed at one of the golden embroidered bags.
Chen Ping took out three copper coins from within the bag and held them in his hands. He pushed the three bags in front of the girl and said with a smile, ”These are for you.”
The girl stared dumbstruck. After a long time, she asked, ”Chen Ping, was your brain pinched by a door when you were young?”
Chen Ping said helplessly, ”No, when I was young and helped people to set the cows, I was often swung around by the tails of the cows.”
The girl slammed the table in anger and asked, ”Do you like me?”
Chen Ping was dumbfounded.
The girl grinned, stretched out her thumb at Chen Ping and said, ”Nice eyes!”
Then she curled her thumb and pointed it at herself, saying in high spirits, ”But I will not agree. The man I, Ning Yao, like, will definitely be the strongest sword immortal in the world, the world! The most powerful! Great Sword Immortal! What Daofather Buddha, what great sage of the Confucianism, before his one sword attack, you must also lower your head and give way! ”
Chen Ping's face turned red as he scratched his head, ”Miss Ning, you're mistaken. I don't like you...”
The young girl raised her eyebrows. After thinking for a moment, she leaned forward, narrowed her eyes, and raised her hand. Her thumb and forefinger moved about an inch, and she asked with a guilty conscience, ”You didn't even like such a small thing?”
Chen Ping said determinedly, ”No!” ”Miss Ning, don't worry!”
The girl retracted her hand and sighed heavily. She said with pity, ”Ah, Chen Ping. Even if you get lucky and marry your wife in the future, you will most likely be a fool.”
Chen Ping sat at the opposite side of the table and happily replied, ”As long as she's well.”
The girl did not comment.
He waited for death to befall him. Wealth was peace and prosperity was prosperity. Just as her mother had said, each had their own destiny and did not necessarily have their own advantages and disadvantages.
However, her father also had a different opinion on this matter. If one did not force it in the end, then it did not mean that one did not force it in the end. It did not mean that one did not force it in the end.
Of course, her father would never dare to say these words to her mother in person.
Chen Ping casually asked, ”Is Miss Ning here to seek a lucky chance as well?”
She replied, ”I used up all the wealth that I had accumulated through fortuitous encounters, plus a favor, in exchange for this entry into the town. But I'm different from those people, I don't seek for any lucky chances, I just want someone to help me forge a sword, and it's best if it suits my needs. As for whether it's sharp, whether it can bear the massive amount of sword Qis, it's a secondary matter.”
”Forging a sword?” Chen Ping was puzzled.
The young girl said, ”It's that blacksmith Master Nuan. He is very famous among you people, and he only forges one sword every thirty years because he thinks this place is suitable for forging swords. I will try my luck and see if he is willing to forge a sword for me. If I really can't do it, then I have no other choice, so I'll just pretend that my luck is bad. ”
Chen Ping laughed, ”Good people will be rewarded for their kindness.”
The young girl feebly said, ”There's nothing we can do about it.”
She glanced at the teenager. ”Is your left hand painful?”
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment. ”It hurts.”
She asked doubtfully, ”Then why don't you look like one?”
Chen Ping said righteously, ”Even if I were to roll on the ground and shout, it wouldn't stop hurting.”
The young girl slapped her forehead, ”There's really no other way. ”He's the same as my dad, but your ability is far inferior.”
Chen Ping smiled and did not speak. He quietly looked outside at the courtyard.
The young girl pushed the three bags of coins back. ”I don't want them.”
Chen Ping retracted his gaze and said softly, ”Miss Ning, have you ever thought about it? It might not be a good thing for me to keep them. After meeting Mr. Qi, I am even more certain of this. ”
After the girl decided on one thing, she would never change her mind. She shook her head and said, ”That's your problem, it has nothing to do with me. I've thought it through. In the future, I will definitely repay the favor of saving my life. Furthermore, I will absolutely not take advantage of the fact that I have done so. I must live up to the name 'Ning Yao'! But in all these years, you must be alright. Don't die by accident. ”As long as you can endure this period of time …”
”The person who saved you was Daoist Master Lu, Lady Ning, so you don't have to feel like you owe me anything. If I didn't feel like I was dead at the time, thinking that Daoist Master Lu could do more for my parents, I wouldn't have opened the door at all.”
