Chapter 22 What Kind of Luck Was This!
"Go back!" She yawned and was helped out by a little girl in a green coat.
After Ning Yan received the money, she picked up the bloodied axe and walked out of the Ning Family's courtyard. She stood on the street and looked at the Great Young Mrs. Lee, then flipped the axe in her hand.
Seeing the evil smile on Ning Yan's face and the blood on the axe, Young Mrs. Lee's face paled and she almost fainted on the ground. It was Ning Huan who had the guts to help her up.
Ning Yan stopped smiling and turned towards the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.
After returning home, he put away the bloodied axe, and walked towards Zhang Tiehzhu's home. After taking back the axe, the two of them sat in the thatched cottage and looked at each other.
"Mother, is the milk really gone?"
"Yes, I'm leaving."
No matter if it was Ning Yan or Ning Jiu, they were both unwelcomed by the Mrs. Xu.
In the Ning Family's courtyard.
After the ancestor left, a few greedy women took advantage of Elder Mrs. Lee's confusion and kicked Big Yellow, who was lying on the ground, out.
At night, most of the village was covered in the smell of dog meat.
When Elder Mrs. Lee reacted, she almost strangled Mrs. Xu to death.
"Stupid woman, who taught you how to steal silver? If you grow up, it's useless to look at your poor appearance. Your sister-in-law borrowed the yellow dog from her family. Now that the dog is gone, find a way to return the silver."
Mrs. Xu was stunned. All these years, whatever money she had, it would all be taken away by her mother.
"Grandma, I don't have any money."
"The bitch that gave birth to you has to go. She's rich, and she wants to send that bastard to school."
"What …" Mrs. Xu opened her eyes wide and raised her voice. "Let that bastard read, his head was kicked by a donkey."
Lao Ning, who was smoking with his eyes closed, was almost scared by Mrs. Xu's shout.
He threw the pipe in his hand onto Mrs. Xu's body, pinched his own throat and started to cough violently. Elder Mrs. Lee's old legs also became numb as she poured herself a cup of warm water and passed it to Lao Ning.
The burning tobacco within the pipe was hit and injured by the Mrs. Xu.
A new wound had already appeared on her wrist. Mrs. Xu felt wronged, her life had been a mess over the past few days.
He felt so wronged that he wanted to find someone to confide in. Raising his head, he met Elder Mrs. Lee's sinister gaze. Mrs. Xu did not want to pour out her heart again, so she obediently lowered his head and did not say a word.
Listening to Elder Mrs. Lee scolding people again and again.
He did not dare to pour out his heart again. Lowering his head, only until the Elder Mrs. Lee stopped did he drag his tired body towards the kitchen.
He originally had the money he got from the thatched hut, and he could even spend money to instruct the Young Mrs. Lee to do these kitchen matters.
But now that he had no money, he could not eat the food made by the Young Mrs. Lee.
Fortunately, Grandma knew that her body was weak and had only allowed her to take care of the kitchen, so she didn't need to feed the pigs to clean them up.
The Mrs. Xu was energetic again.
Remembering food but not fighting, he was probably the same as Mrs. Xu.
"..."
"..."
Once again, when he returned home from Zhang Tiehzhu's house, he had a blade that was suitable for use in the future.
After putting away all the things in her house and locking the door, Ning Yan then walked up the mountain with more than ten thousand taels of silver.
The wild animals on the summer mountain were quite active. They would definitely be able to harvest something if they went up the mountain once.
Besides, Ning was already five years old. It was time to learn the skills of life in the mountains. No one could tell what life would be like in the future.
The child would leave her one day, and in this era, there were no airplanes or trains, only livestock or legs. In this way, whenever she went out, she would always meet people who were out in the open.
It is necessary to take advantage of this time to let my child learn some of the rules of life in the mountain forest.
Otherwise, it would be too late by the time he could use it.
When they reached the depths of the mountain, it was already noon and the sun was at its highest point.
Seeing that her mouth was used up, Ning Yan stopped. She found a relatively cool place that had a good viewing angle and stopped.
It was summer, and the trees on the mountain were extremely tall. The leaves rustled in the wind, and one could still feel the cool wind from sitting under the trees.
Ning Yu took out a flint stone and started to light the fire before Ning Yan could order him to do so. Ning Yan opened her mouth, and looked at Ning Yu's focused expression, but did not stop him.
As she was holding onto the leaf to boil some water, Ning Yan quietly stood up, stood on top of the tree, and climbed up within the blink of an eye.
There were also a few red ants crawling around in the trees. In addition to the ants, there were also some green silk spitting insects. The bugs could spit silk, but they were not silkworms.
The thread would snap in a single tug, but it was of no use. Retracting her gaze, Ning Yan started to look further into the distance. There were no binoculars that could see very little.
Only then did Ning Yan fall down from the tree. The moment she landed, Ning Yan felt his feet go soft, she slowly moved his feet away, and fresh feces appeared in front of him. Ning Yan …
"F * ck!" Ning Yan exhaled, then squatted down to observe the poop beneath her feet. The poop was black and very moist, and some of the nearby tree bark had been slipped and destroyed, this was obviously the poop of a black bear. The tree bark being torn proved that this was the territory of a black bear, so this place was not very safe.
She touched the trident on her leg, glanced at the machete on her waist and the dagger on her wrist, Ning Yan relaxed a little and looked around. Seeing that there was no longer black feces in the vicinity, Ning Yan did not say anything, but pulled some unpoisoned vegetables from the nearby area and boiled them in the water for lunch.
After finishing eating and extinguishing the fire, Ning Yan left the place quickly with more than enough time.
"Mom, where are we going?"
"Go, hunt."
"…" Ning was about to ask what he had hit, but it seemed like he had encountered something else.
With Ning Yan holding her small hands, she tried her best to follow her footsteps and walked to a low mountain top, then laid down on the ground like Ning Yan.
"There's something ahead. Listen." Ning Yan said, her ears touching the ground, the sound of him sprinting became even clearer.
After listening for a while, Ning Yan's brows furrowed, this was truly dog shit luck! There were footsteps in front, but no matter how she looked at it, it sounded like a group of people, and the rhythm was like a tamed horse!
"Hurry up and leave this place." After saying so, she glanced at the child's short legs. Ning Xuemo accepted her fate and carried him on her back, walking straight towards the place where she had seen the black bear poop.
Seeing the caution on Ning Yan's face, she held her breath, afraid that she would alert him.
Ning Yan's footsteps got faster and faster. Suddenly, she felt a touch from below her feet, and at the same time, a groan sounded.
"Is there someone here, Mother?"
Ning Yan's footsteps did not straighten as she continued to run.
"Mom, you stepped on someone just now." Even though it was above Ning Yan's back, it had still covered up most of his vision, but this did not mean that he could not hear it.
He patted Ning Yan's shoulder and continued speaking.
Ning Yan...
Ning Yan stopped in her tracks. She had originally planned to pretend that shshecouldn't see, but under the current situation, if she continued acting, he would bring the bad child along.
He couldn't explain why he didn't save her.
