After half an hour.
A short bamboo stool, a short wooden dining table, the tabletop is black with yellowish, shiny oil, a large iron "pot" the size of a washbasin is firmly placed in the center, Ning Xiaotian poked his head and saw that there was Two crispy old hens boiled.
"Madam Luo, this is too expensive for you!" Ma Xiu Nuo looked at the two old hens in the pot, his expression changed drastically.
"Master Matthew Nuo, why are you polite? Our carrot will be a soul master in the future, and we may become nobles in the future. Even if you don't come, our family will have a good celebration." The woman waved her hand with a smile.
After finishing speaking, he quickly turned his head to look at the back of the house, and said loudly: "Father, the child, serve the meal as soon as possible!"
"Master Matthew Nuo, please wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to cook some side dishes, all grown by our family, freshness is guaranteed..." The woman bowed and hurriedly ran to the back of the house.
"Yes, yes...you are welcome, three guests!" Before Ma Xiunuo could answer, another big man with a wooden bucket jumped out of the room, walked to the dining table while talking, and slapped the wooden bucket. The bucket was placed on the table, and the delicious aroma of rice filled the air instantly.
"The three guests eat slowly. I'll go to the kitchen to help the lady." After speaking, the big man turned his head and glared at his son, and ran back to the kitchen.
The child who was stared at by the big man shrank his neck, quickly raised his sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth, glanced at the attractive chicken in the basin, turned his small eyes, stood up quickly, and picked up the stacked bowls on the table The chopsticks were handed out to Ning Xiaotian and the other three.
Then he quickly sat back on his seat, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Matthew Nuo eagerly.
"..." Matthew Nuo looked at the pot of chicken, then at the child, sighed, stretched out his chopsticks, took out a piece of chicken leg from the pot and put it in the child's bowl, then turned his head to look at Ning Xiaotian He and Qian Renxue said softly, "Let's eat!"
Promising... Ning Xiaotian glanced at the carrot boy who was happily eating chicken with admiring eyes, and nodded slightly.
Then, from the corner of her eye, she squinted at Qian Renxue's rice bowl, it was empty, quickly took out a piece of chicken wing from the bowl and put it into the bowl, said with a smile, "Brother Qing, I'll give you the chicken wing!"
After finishing speaking, he picked another piece of chicken wing for himself and put it in the bowl. When he turned his head, seeing Qian Renxue was still in a daze, she couldn't help raising her sword eyebrows, and nudged it with her elbow. Type: "This is called flying together..."
This guy is really thick-skinned... Qian Renxue frowned, then lowered her head silently, eating chicken in a muffled voice.
This was the first time she ate at such a family gathering occasion, even though it was someone else's.
"???" Ning Xiaotian didn't know why, and based on the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, he put a piece of chicken rib meat into the Matthew Nuo bowl, and said, "Grandpa Matthew Nuo, you eat too!"
"Okay, okay..." Matthew Nuo was flattered, and the smile on his face deepened.
Chapter 124 Wuhun Palace Subtly Transforms Ning Xiaotian Discovers Back Mountain
Half a quarter of an hour later, there were a few more side dishes on the table, and the couple also sat down at the table.
Matthew Nuo was almost finished eating at this time, looked up at the two couples in front of him, and said softly: "Ms. Luo, what are your plans for... Luo Luo's studies?"
"Master Matthew Nuo, we don't understand this either. What's your opinion?" The woman looked at the big man, shook her head, and turned to look at Matthew Nuo.
Matthew Nuo pondered for a moment, and said: "If you want to say that the distance is the closest, of course it is the Junior Soul Master Academy established by the empire in Notting City. The number of work-study students in your village this year can also be used for carrots."
"But considering that the white ginseng martial spirit of radish is relatively rare, it might be better to go to the elementary soul master academy established by the Wuhun Temple."
After a pause, he continued: "It's close to the Hunting Soul Forest. The instructors of the academy are much stronger in terms of theoretical knowledge and personal strength. It will be easier for Carrot to obtain the Soul Ring in the future, but it's a bit far away."
"Master Matthew Nuo, I heard from the parents of the children who went to Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy in the next village that the aristocratic students there would bully our commoner children. Is this true?" The woman looked at Matthew Nuo anxiously. , with a worried look on his face.
Don't you know?Matthew Nuo was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the remaining chicken soup in the eye basin as if realizing something, nodded, and said, "There have indeed been such cases, but they rarely happen now."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue glanced calmly at Ning Xiaotian beside him, if it wasn't for the mission platform plan proposed by this guy, Xue Ye would not have ordered to restrain the nobles' domineering behavior.
"It's rare, so there are more..." The lady muttered, her face became more worried, she looked at the big man beside her with some reluctance, and said weakly: "My child's father, if you don't stay away, stay away Bar?"
"Master Matthew Nuo, I don't know what conditions my child needs to study at the Junior Soul Master Academy of Wuhundian?" The big man was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Matthew Nuo, with a cautious expression on his face. If it was too expensive, his family would not be able to afford it. .
"There are no conditions for this. The junior soul master academy in Wuhundian is now free of tuition, but the food expenses must be paid for by oneself..." Matthew Nuo couldn't help straightening his body when he said this, his eyes glowed with pride.
"It's free!" The eyes of the big man and the woman brightened. "It's free. Doesn't that mean you don't need money?"
Matthew Nuo stroked his beard in satisfaction, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, this is the latest policy issued by the Pope."
After a pause, he said again: "If your family can be more diligent, give full play to the ability of Wuhun, and go to the mission hall to pick up some missions within your ability, maybe you can be self-sufficient."
"Grandpa Matthew Nuo, can I come back to see my parents in the future?" Carrot said with some reluctance, twisting his body.
"Son, of course you can! Studying in the academy also has holidays..." Matthew Nuo said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good..." The couple breathed a sigh of relief, and the smiles on their faces instantly brightened.
Lovingly touching Zijiahai's little head, the woman said again: "Master Maxiu Nuo, how do I sign up for my carrot?"
"Mrs. Luo, didn't the old man give you a certificate? Two months later, you will take the certificate and bring your children to the branch of the Wuhun Temple in Notting City to report. We will escort the children to the academy!" Matthew Nuo patiently road.
"Okay, okay...thank you, Master Maxiu Nuo, I will arrive on time with my radish at one o'clock!" The big man said excitedly.
"Hmm..." Matthew nodded slightly, stood up, cupped his hands towards the couple, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today. It's getting late, and the old man should go back."
When the couple heard the words, they stood up quickly and said, "We'll see you off!"
"Grandpa Matthew Nuo, my nephew finally came out once. I want to play around here in the afternoon. Is it okay to stay here tonight? Brother Qing will accompany me. We will go back tomorrow morning." Ning Xiaotian stood up and interjected road.
What is this for?Qian Renxue glanced at Ning Xiaotian suspiciously, a little unable to figure out what he was thinking at the moment, but she still nodded and said, "Grandpa Matthew Nuo, I'm here with you..."
"Alright then! You brothers, be careful..." Matthew Nuo said helplessly, with a slight brow.
"Grandpa Matthew Nuo, please give this to my mother when you go back, and tell me that I am safe." Ning Xiaotian took out another folded paper from his arms and handed it to Matthew Nuo. It was ready long ago.
"Okay!" Matthew Nuo took it carefully, and looked down. There was an address marked in small letters on it.
"The old man will leave. I will trouble you to take care of my two nephews tonight." Matthew put away the paper, bowed his hands to the couple, and said politely.
"Master Matthew Nuo, you are welcome. It is our blessing that the two little brothers can stay overnight!" The couple waved their hands again and again, giving way to the road, and led Matthew Nuo out the door.
"Brother Carrot, is there anything interesting in your village?" Seeing Matthew leaving, Ning Xiaotian immediately turned his head to look at the little brother who was still drinking chicken soup, and said, "For example, the vegetable garden, the river... the mountain what..."
"Also, do you have wild game in the mountains? My mother is very good at cooking, I secretly learned a few things from her, and we will eat together when I catch it..." Ning Xiaotian followed the temptation, and the little brother was also very helpful, Saliva couldn't help but flow down.
"There are rabbits and pheasants in the back mountain...Big Brother, I'll take you there right away!" Little Carrot jumped off the stool, ran out of the door, and stood in the courtyard waving his hands.
"Let's go!" Ning Xiaotian nudged Qian Renxue's arm with his elbow, and after finishing speaking, he spread his legs to follow Little Carrot.
Is this little pervert just to stay with me?No, there must be something hidden from me... Qian Renxue instinctively felt that Ning Xiaotian was hiding something from her, so she made such a sudden decision to stay in the village, did she discover something?
With doubts, Qian Renxue quickly followed Ning Xiaotian as if nothing had happened.
The three of them crossed the field ridges, stepped over the small bridge, and under Ning Xiaotian's "Don't lose heart, you may encounter rabbits and pheasants..." offensive on the next mountain... On a mountainside on the west side of the village.
Lush shrubs spread all around, and the ground is also uneven. Looking up, it is a steep slope of nearly [-] degrees. On the slope, there are scattered rocks and overgrown weeds. A distinct bare area among the weeds stretches upwards in a zigzag way.
It is not difficult to see from the traces that this is a climbing path formed by human climbing and trampling.
Ning Xiaotian pressed down the bushes with a stick and looked towards the foot of the mountain. There was smoke billowing from the kitchen, and a dilapidated hut stood in the distance, separated by a dozen or so layers of vegetable fields like steps and a winding stream.
If you look closely, you can vaguely see a thin child carrying a bucket towards the hut. Under the eaves, a burly man is striking the iron with a hammer. There is another man in front of him waving a hoe. After a while, He left with a hoe.
"Brother Carrot, the sun is going down, let's go back!" Ning Xiaotian turned to look at the little brother who was carrying the prey.
At this time, the little boy was holding two little white rabbits in his left hand and three big pheasants in his right hand. Looking left and right, his face was full of joy and joy.
"Okay, big brother, let's go home!" The little brother looked at Ning Xiaotian and Qian Renxue with admiration on his face. Today, these two big brothers have a pebble and a little bunny, and he was stunned.
In this way, the three of them slipped down the mountain.
......
Chapter 125 I was in the cold wind this night
Night, no stars and no moon.
The evening wind in April is still cold, and the cracks in the door that don't fit well are creaking. If it wasn't for confirming that the foundation of the house is solid and the beam structure is stable before going to bed, Ning Xiaotian would have doubted whether the house would be safe. Will be blown down in the middle of the night.
"Brother Qing, go to sleep!" Ning Xiaotian closed the door, walked to the bed and sat down. This house was built in advance by the Luos and his wife for the second child.
Qian Renxue did not speak, but stared at him unwaveringly with scrutiny in her eyes.
Ning Xiaotian didn't speak, and pouted towards the inward position on the bed, while he lay down directly on the outer position.
Qian Renxue frowned instantly, gritted her teeth, got up on the bed with a gloomy face, stepped over Ning Xiaotian's body, and kicked him by the way, and when she got to the innermost place, she lay down on her side with her back facing her. Pay attention to Ning Xiaotian again.
Seeing this, Ning Xiaotian quickly turned sideways, hugged Qian Renxue, put his hands on his waist, and pressed his forehead against the girl's hair, with a silver light shining slightly on his forehead.
"???" Qian Renxue struggled instinctively.
"Don't move!" Ning Xiaotian hurriedly said.
This voice actually came directly from my mind... Qian Renxue was surprised in her heart, and her body stopped struggling.
"This is my head spirit bone skill. It can communicate with teammates. The closer the distance is, the less consumption of soul power and mental power. Don't resist, or I will consume a lot of mental power, and I won't last long." Ning Xiaotian continued:
"Close your eyes, calm your mind, and you can see me in the spiritual world!"
When Qian Renxue heard this, she quickly closed her eyes to calm herself down. After a while, when she opened her eyes again, the surroundings were already white, and there was only Ning Xiaotian in front of her eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, you are still so good-looking!" Ning Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and Qian Renxue in front of her was actually in the form of a woman.
"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?" Qian Renxue snorted coldly, glaring at Ning Xiaotian angrily, and following her anger, the illusion of slapping Ning Xiaotian appeared around her tender body.
"Daughter-in-law, you seem to really want to hit me!" Ning Xiaotian touched the side of his face subconsciously and said quietly.
"You have the ability to see other people's thoughts?!" Qian Renxue looked at the flashing illusion around her in shock, which was the thought in her mind just now.
"The ability to talk in this mental space is a new discovery I have recently. You need to agree to pull it in. As for the illusion, as long as you don't think about it too much, it won't appear." Ning Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.
There is such a weird soul bone skill, don't think about it, or your identity will be exposed... Qian Renxue glanced at Ning Xiaotian, and said slowly: "Speak! Since you came to this village, your behavior It's always been weird...”
"Also, don't call me daughter-in-law, you haven't won the bet yet, and I don't agree." Qian Renxue frowned again.
"Okay, daughter-in-law!" Ning Xiaotian said very seriously, and before Qian Renxue could start complaining, he added: "The reason why I behaved strangely is because I discovered that there is an unknown titled Dou in this village." Luo."
"My mental power is pretty good, you can see it too." Ning Xiaotian pointed to the whiteness around him, and then said nonsense seriously: "It's the first time we come to this village, I'm afraid that person will pay attention secretly, So I didn’t dare to speak.”
"That soul tool of yours also has soul power fluctuations when you use it, maybe it will be noticed." Ning Xiaotian said helplessly.
"An unknown Titled Douluo? How is this possible? It's still in such a small place..." Qian Renxue showed shock.
"So today I relied on that child to go around to the back mountain and observe from a distance." Ning Xiaotian touched his chin and said.
"Did you see which title it is?" Qian Renxue asked hurriedly.
"He runs a blacksmith shop, wields a hammer, and has a child, who may be Haotian Douluo Tang Hao who has disappeared for many years. Of course, this is just my guess, and I have never seen him." Ning Xiaotian spread his hands , said lightly.
"Tang Hao!" Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, the surrounding space instantly became turbulent, and behind her was a fantasy of flames, with countless Chihiro diseases burning inside.
"Daughter-in-law, calm down... This mental space is not so stable. If I radiate too much mental power, I will be noticed!" Ning Xiaotian looked around and said hurriedly: "And it's up to us to kill If we don’t drop him, we will be finished if he finds out.”
When Qian Renxue heard the words, she really calmed down, and the illusion disappeared afterward.
