The word “first” was very interesting. Yun Yi epted the order and followed Second Uncle Ning to the county office.
Second Uncle Ning was nervous the moment he entered the government office. He trembled as he held the document that had already been thumbprinted. He stuttered intermittently, causing the clerk to look at him strangely. The clerk almost wanted topare him with the portraits of the bandits who had been wanted recently.
Ning Fengcai’s back was drenched when he finallypleted the registration with difficulty.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t want to be implicated by those useless people from the eldest branch, he wouldn’t have to work so hard to suffer. Feeling unhappy, he walked to a sparsely popted ce and muttered softly. He scolded all the people he hated in his heart. After scolding the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, he scolded Wang Biao, and after scolding Wang Biao and the eldest branch, he was about to scold that little bastard Ning Xiaoxiao a few more times when his vision suddenly darkened and a cudgel hit him.
When he woke up again, it was already evening. Second Uncle Ning crawled out of the sack with difficulty and realized that he had been abandoned in the graveyard. He was so frightened that he screamed and ran away. When he returned home, he had a high fever and spouted nonsense. Everyone in the old residence was anxious.
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao did not suppress her good mood at all. She hummed a song as she continued to fiddle with her flour, rice, and corn flour.
Ning Fengnian and Madam Song watched as she rubbed these precious ingredients left and right. They felt that she was fooling around from the bottom of their hearts. However, she insisted that she was making delicious food, and her two sons were indulgent of their sister. They could only treat it as if they did not see it.
The noodles that had been processed twice today were ail dry. Xiaoxiao pulled her brother to the Dusk River to catch prawns!
Her spatial points had only increased by more than 200 points in her recent conscientiousness. Looking at the pitiful 400 points in her bnce, Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and changed two portions of bait. She put one portion into each bamboo basket and ced the bamboo basket into the ce where she usually caught prawns with her brother.
After putting it down, she chatted with her brother as they dug wild vegetables along the river. As they chatted, she heard her brother exim and tilt his head in inquiry. Then, she heard her brother say, “The river water has risen again.” She looked around again and saw that many vigers were eager to try their luck again with fishings. Thest time the Dusk River rose, it gave each family a lot of benefits.
Xiaoxiao frowned and asked her brother, “Did it rise like this in the past?”
Ning Dng shook his head. “It did not, and that’s why I feel uneasy.”
Just as she finished speaking, they heard someone ask, “Why are you uneasy?”
The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged handsome man cupping his hands at them with a gentle smile. Ning Dng shielded his sister behind him and asked, “Outsider?”
The handsome man nodded and tactfully stopped moving forward. “1 was passing by and saw thismotion. I couldn’t help bute over to take a look.”
Xiaoxiao stuck her head out from behind Ning Dng. Recently, her food intake had been good, so her furry hair had be thicker. Madam Song and Ning Dng took turns to style her hair into all kinds of likable hairstyles. Today, she had tied two buns, and there were a few braids below them. When she moved her head, she looked cute.
The handsome man couldn’t take his eyes off her, causing Ning Dng to be even more guarded. “The roads in the countryside are slippery. It’s safer for you to walk on the main road. Our vige is filled with strong people. If it’s inconvenient to carry too much luggage or if you get lost and can’t walk out, you can hire someone to help. The vige isn’t big. They can hear you with a shout.”
The handsome man smiled. Goodd, these words sounded like he wanted to help, but they were actually reminding him that if he did anything inappropriate, someone would immediately rush over to deal with him with a shout, right?
He did not hate cautious and smart children. On the contrary, he admired them, so he was not unhappy with Ning Dng’s attitude. Instead, he asked again, “I’m just curious. I heard that the other vigers were happily fishing after the river rose.. Why are the two of you so worried?”
