C236 Dragon and Phoenix Heart Paste with Chicken

Mian Niang smiled and did not say anything.

A dim light flashed across Jiang Ting's eyes.

Even though Mian Niang had already said so much to him, she still held back.

At the same time, Jiang Ting was even more worried. He was worried that the method Mian Niang had told him about was too extreme, and would harm him in the end.

The sound of the door opening came out from the yard next door, and a figure wearing clothes walked out. Jiang Ting immediately jumped down from the room with Mian Niang, and landed without making any sound.

"Sorry."

He apologized and released his hand. He was slightly reluctant in his heart, unwilling to part with Mian Niang's warmth.

However, he had always been expressionless in the darkness, so Mian Niang wasn't aware of it at all.

She only shook her head, blushing, but said nothing.

Thinking about how he had been on the rooftop for such a long time, it was indeed a bit unreasonable to be tangled up with a man and a woman over such matters.

The next door closed again.

Mian Niang heaved a sigh of relief and returned the jade in her hand to her.

However, Jiang Ting refused to accept it.

"Keep it."

"How can I do that?" She thought he had agreed to only borrow it for a short while, but didn't expect that he would easily accept it and return.

"In the future, return it along with the dagger."

Jiang Ting still did not clarify his words, as he did not want to scare her.

He was even more worried that he would cause more trouble for her.

She worked too hard.

Borrowing the cover of darkness, he looked at Mian Niang arrogantly and greedily, trying her best to suppress the impulse in his heart to embrace.

He said, "Carry him on your back. In the future, if you encounter any trouble, you can go to the County City's Clear Stream Book Shop and look for the Manager Wu. Show him this jade pendant, and he'll naturally help you."

In the end, it was still different. If it was his previous self, how could he say such things so casually?

Mian Niang was speechless, and even more so, wanted to return the jade pendant back to him.

How could she take such a precious keepsake?

Jiang Ting threatened her: "When I'm free in a few days, I will make a trip to the northwest."

The meaning of those words were obvious, Mian Niang could not reject it, and could only silently take back the jade ornament.

Jiang Ting had to add another sentence: "Hanging on your neck and wearing it on your body, it's even better for your body."

Mian Niang opened her eyes wide: "How can I do that?"

This was originally his personal item, but now that he had kept it, he actually wanted to …

She blushed and lowered her head.

Jiang Ting did not give her any leeway to refuse: "This is not a precious item, it's not worth much money. Before, I have always kept it in a safe place, and have not worn it personally, so you don't have to be so uneasy."

Mian Niang was skeptical: "You tricked me, how can this not be valuable?"

She had originally thought that it was just an ordinary dagger. Only after using it did she realize that it was definitely of extraordinary value.

Jiang Ting couldn't help but laugh, "Are you sure you want to argue with me over this thing for an entire night?"

When he finished, he realized that he was smiling.

Before Mian Niang realized what was wrong, he was already stunned.

So it wasn't that difficult to laugh.

Moreover, this matter actually didn't require any innate talent. It was just such an easy matter.

Mian Niang was also stunned.

His voice was deep and pleasant, with a hint of a smile in it. In this clear and cold moonlight, he only felt that it was indescribably pleasing to the ear.

Mian Niang kept the jade pendant and watched her return to her room. After seeing the door close, he then stepped into the moonlight and left.

He came without a sound, and when he left it was even quieter.

In the entire Tian Jia Wan, other than Mian Niang, no one knew that he had come.

Using the moonlight outside the window, Mian Niang placed the dagger back under her pillow. The jade pendant was also placed beside him, lying under the warm blanket. She pursed her lips and smiled.

He had clearly not said anything to Jiang Ting, but the burden in his heart seemed to have lightened by a lot.

In truth, trouble still existed, but this time, Mian Niang would not be so conflicted.

She was a resolute person after all. Once she made a decision in her heart, she would no longer think useless thoughts.

Soon, he caught his breath and fell asleep.

Only after Mian Niang finished making tofu the next day at dawn did she return to take a look at the jade pendant that she had been holding in her hand the entire time yesterday.

The jade pendant was oval in shape and pointed at the top. There was a round hole in it that was almost like a chicken heart. It was carved with a dragon and phoenix pattern.

She was surprised at the crystal clear texture of the jade pendant and even more surprised at the exquisite workmanship of the pendant.

This time, he didn't want to believe it. It was just an ordinary jade pendant.

Mian Niang sat on the brick bed with the jade pendant in hand, in a daze.

He couldn't help but secretly regret that he wasn't resolute enough last night and that he shouldn't have accepted it at that time. He had to think of a way to return it.

However, it became the biggest problem for her where she should put it. She had originally planned to place it under the box. How could she possibly carry such a private item with her? Now, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Such a precious treasure was not an easy thing to do.

If he put it on his body, it would break. However, if he put it in the box, he would be afraid of knocking it again.

The sound of someone shouting came from outside the courtyard. It was Bao Sheng who had come to fetch the tofu.

Mian Niang hurriedly replied. In her panic, she remembered what Jiang Ting had said and casually hung the jade pendant around his neck.

He gathered up his clothes and hurried out.

He scooped a bowl of tofu brain for Bao Sheng and let him eat first before carrying the tofu himself onto the carriage.

Seeing her busy by herself, Bao Sheng curiously asked: "Where's Aunt, why didn't I see her today?"

Normally, it was Lady Song Li who gave him the bean curd, so he really wasn't used to not seeing her for a while.

Mian Niang's body shook, she remembered that her mother's little brother had not woken up yet due to the methods Jiang Ting used yesterday. She felt guilty for no apparent reason, and said hurriedly: "They went up the mountain yesterday, so they must be tired, and have not woken up yet."

Bao Sheng did not understand, but after hearing what she said, he naturally believed her.

After sending Bao Sheng away, Mian Niang immediately went to the main house.

In the house, Madame Song Li had already opened her eyes, but she was lying motionlessly, and when she entered, she asked: "Bao Sheng left?"

"Yes, I've already left."

"Sigh, I don't know what's going on. I know everything, but I just can't wake up. It must have been like you said, tiring up the mountain. "

Madame Song Li said and pushed Song Zhien who was beside her, and wanted to wake him up.

Mian Niang carefully looked at his mother's expression and extended her hand towards Madame Li's forehead. The temperature was normal, so she asked again, "Does your mother not feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Seeing Madame Song Li blankly staring at him, she realized that her movements just now were too intimate. It had been a long time since the mother and daughter had come into contact like this.

Madame Song Li also felt uncomfortable.

But when he saw Mian Niang's cautious expression, he sighed in his heart, and shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's very light on your body. I just don't want to get up. "

Song Zhien was pushed by his mother. When he opened his eyes, he saw Sis A standing above his head.

Mian Niang saw that Madame Song Li's face was flushed red, and indeed, nothing seemed to be amiss, and she also remembered that Jiang Ting had never lied to him. Since he said that the medicine was harmless to her body, then it should be so.

Only then did he feel at ease.

He immediately stopped Madame Song, who still wanted to wake Song Zhien up, and said: "Mother, don't call him anymore. Brother has been exhausted these few days, let him sleep first, and only wake up after he's full. The tofu had already been prepared and the food was still hot in the pot. Just eat it when you get up. I'll go sell the tofu first. "

Madame Song Li thought about how her youngest son had helped Mian Niang make tofu these past few days, going to school during the day, and returning at night to study. He was indeed very tired, so she retracted her hand that she had extended out.

Nodding, no longer needed to worry about his own home. After the door closes, he can do whatever he wants.

Mian Niang agreed and walked out of the house. First, he went to eat breakfast.

Madame Song heard the voice in the courtyard gradually fade away, but she still got up and put on her clothes.

Lying down like this in broad daylight was truly an outrageous thing. If someone were to see it, it would be outrageous as well.

But her youngest son was sleeping so soundly, so she couldn't bear to wake him up.

He said to himself in his heart: "Child, it doesn't matter. Even if you are stuck in bed with someone, no one will really laugh at you."

Looking at her youngest son tenderly, Madame Song thought to herself, "Compared to those people of the same age in the village, this child is actually more sensible. Compared to those of the same age in the village, she is actually more sensible compared to her younger son, compared to those of the same age in the village.

It was just that his decision had begun to be correct, and he actually helped his elder sister explain things to him.

He didn't know if it was because he had read too many books.

She reached out to touch her youngest son's face and couldn't help but think of her eldest son.

Actually, the eldest son was more sensible than the youngest.

At his age, he was already able to take care of his younger brother and sister, and was already half a labourer in the fields with his father.

He was the eldest son of the family and loved to study when he was young. At that time, his family was poor and could not use up paper, so the entire courtyard was filled with words drawn by tree branches. Not only was he studying by himself, he even taught Mian Niang how to read.

At that time, she thought that it wasn't a proper thing for a girl to learn how to read and write, so she stopped him from teaching her. He still argued with her, saying that he couldn't let his sister not know how to write her name.

Alright, now Mian Niang can write her own name. Not only can she write her own name, she can also do a small trade.

But he, as the older brother, was still at the border suffering.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, thinking of her eldest son in the distance.

Since the end of the year had come, he wondered how things were going in their military camp.

In one breath, Song Zhixiao ate six steamed buns and two bowls of porridge. Only then did he feel that his stomach was full, his body was warm, and he was still alive.

Wu Liang walked over and threw him a chicken leg.

Without even looking at it, Song Zhixiao picked up the chicken drumstick and started eating.

Wu Liang sat down beside him. Both of them reeked of blood and neither of them looked down on the other.

"Damn it, I'm still alive today." He took a deep breath and looked at the distant morning sun.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, they had just ended a battle.

Wu Liang patted Song Zhixiao's shoulder and said: "Brother, this time, you killed an opposing general, so you should be able to take off your criminal record for this contribution, right?"

Song Zhixiao shook his head: "I wasn't the one who killed the lieutenant, I was just following the general to pick up the head."
