Pension Strategy

The next morning was just dawn.

Thinking of going to the town to play, Ning Dong got up early with excitement.

He put on his clothes swiftly, or the latest, before running into the room and waking Ning Qiu up.

"Mother, mother, hurry up, if you don't go to town, the meat buns will be gone." Ning Dong pushed Ning Qiu's arm, anxious.

Before going to bed, he had already thought about what to buy, and the fragrant meat buns were indispensable.

"..." Ning Qiu couldn't sleep because of the noise, so she had no choice but to get up, and lightly pinched Ning Dong's chubby cheek, "You stinky boy, I sincerely oppose your mother and me, right."

"Mother, you are so slow, put on your shoes and clothes quickly, we are going to town." Ning Dong puffed out her cheeks, rubbed her cheeks unwillingly, and then actively took the shoes and put them on the bedside.

Ning Qiu didn't ask him to help wear it, and said, "Okay, you go outside and put the medicinal herbs that Mother has packed into the box."

"Got it." Ning Dong hurriedly ran out.

He grew up smelling the medicinal herbs and playing with the shape of the medicinal herbs, so he naturally knew how to tell the difference.

"I'm still a playful child." Ning Qiu smiled lightly, and at the same time became more determined to leave here.

, After a walk in the world, you will know more things.

Of course, she was too bored and wanted to find something new to relieve her boredom.

After taking Ningdong to wash and having a simple breakfast, he locked the door and walked down the mountain step by step.

Mist in the morning, the air is a little cool, the fog on the wild grass and wildflowers on the roadside is thin, when the sun rises, the water droplets dissipate in the warm sun.

After going down the mountain, to go to the town, you must pass through a small mountain village.

Ning Qiu acted as a female doctor on weekdays, and occasionally helped the villagers to treat diseases for free, so when they saw their mother and son, the villagers greeted them friendly, and Ning Qiu also responded one by one.

At this time, an ox cart carrying many villagers was parked next to it, and the man driving the ox cart looked honest and honest, with dark skin and big white teeth when he smiled, "Doctor Ning, this is The sun is about to come out, should we take an ox cart or not, it will be faster.”

In the past few years, almost everyone in the village has received the favor of Ning Qiu, so they are very respectful.

Hearing the sound, the villagers in the carriage immediately squeezed, moved out of a place, and shouted for Ning Qiu to come up.

Ning Qiu smiled and refused, "No, you go first. I haven't been down the mountain for a long time, I want to see the scenery along the way."

The villagers still warmly invited, but after being rejected again, they knew that Ning Qiu really wanted to walk, not embarrassed or disgusted, so they drove the bullock cart away.

Although I don't know how beautiful the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside are, maybe the perception of cultural people is completely different from the villagers who don't know a few big characters.

The two of them walked leisurely into the town, with light power in their hands, do they still need to walk?

Ning Dong has rarely been to noisy places, he opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the crowded streets in front of him with novelty.

He sighed, "Mother, there are so many people here."

"You have to hold on to your mother, otherwise you will easily get lost." Ning Qiu glanced down at him.

"I see." Ning Dong nodded and grabbed Ning Qiu's hand tightly, but never let go.

Ning Qiu went to Ji Shitang first, and handed over the well-preserved medicinal materials in the box to Shopkeeper Wu.

She usually sells medicinal herbs, and she always comes here, and the price is fair.

"Doctor Ning seems to be in a good mood today." Shopkeeper Wu tapped the medicinal herbs, and after confirming it was correct, handed a few silver notes to Ning Qiu.

If it were a common medicinal material, it would not be possible to sell it at this price.

However, the medicinal materials provided by Ning Qiu are relatively rare and difficult to find, and the medicinal properties are well preserved.

Ning Qiu explained with a smile, "Today is my Dongzi's birthday."

Ning Dong shouted obediently, "Hello, Uncle Wu."

"Okay, Dongzi has grown a lot taller than last month." Shopkeeper Wu squinted, looking at Ning Dong's cute and sensible appearance, his eyes were full of love .

He took a small sachet that was sold in the wooden cabinet, bent over and handed it to Ning Dong, smiled and said, "Uncle Wu doesn't have any good gifts in this drugstore, only this A sachet is given to Dongzi, which can be hung on the head of the bed to rest and sleep more comfortably at night."

The medicinal materials in the sachet are all prepared by the old doctor in Ji Shitang, and the cheapest one is a dozen taels of silver.

The price of the sachet just taken by shopkeeper Wu is about a few dozen taels, which shows that he likes Ningdong and attaches great importance to Ning Qiu as a partner.

Ning Dong didn't take it, but looked at Ning Qiu first, and after nodding in agreement, he took the sachet with both hands and smiled shyly, "Thank you Uncle Wu, the sachet is so pretty, Dongzi Really like."

Reciprocal exchanges, Ning Qiu will not take advantage of others in vain, "Mr. Wu, last time you said you were eager to want the century-old ginseng, I have one here, and I will bring it to you in two days."

He knew that it was the gift he just sent out that had an effect. It seemed that Dr. Ning really valued her son.

I wasn't sure about it last time, but now I promise to bring it directly.

Leaving Jishitang, Ning Qiu led Ning Dong to stroll on the street.

Because today is Ning Dong's birthday, so what he wants to eat and play, Ning Qiu is not cautious.

Swallowing the last bite of Roujiamo into her stomach, Ning Dong burped.

After walking for a while, he touched his bulging belly, his face was pale, "Mother, I seem to be full, my stomach is very uncomfortable."

Ning Qiu led people, went to the pavilion by the riverside and sat down at the bridge, and took out a Xiaoshi pill for him, "Will you be greedy by the chance of indulgence in the future? "

"Mother, I will never be greedy again." After taking the digestion pills, Ningdong felt a lot more comfortable in her stomach, and her face gradually became rosy.

"Dongzi, you have to remember, it's easy for people to indulge oneself, but it's hard to discipline oneself." Ning Qiu put his hand on his stomach, rubbed it gently, and helped digestion.

Accompanied by the sound from the tree, she said softly, "You can indulge if you want, but when you grow up, indulge within the range that you can control your desires, not Acting arbitrarily. It's the hardest thing to be really smart and happy."

Ning Dong listened ignorantly, but he nodded, "Mother, I remember."

This is also the usual way of communication between their mother and child. After all, children may not understand what adults say.

"Okay, let's rest here for a while, there is a lion dance to watch tonight." Ning Qiu looked around, his eyes fell on two strange men who were hiding their whereabouts by the crowd, and found that the clothes and Like the two of them last night, her eyes flashed with awe.

It seems that the worst has happened. The two disciples of the so-called Yama Temple passed the news back.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice sounded beside her, "Five-flowered horse, a thousand gold furs, Hu'er will come out for wine."

Ning Qiu turned around and saw that it was a handsome and handsome man in white clothes, staring at her with burning eyes... The purple jade wine gourd hanging on her waist?

Aware of Ning Qiu's curious eyes, the man smiled friendly, he bowed his hands, and said politely, "This lady, take the liberty to ask, the wine in your wine gourd is from Where did you buy it?"

"I brewed it myself." Ning Qiu didn't hide it, and reached out and hugged the little kid who was already dozing into his arms.

The man's eyes lit up, as if a cat was excited when he saw a fish, "Dare to ask Madam, do you have any extra wine? No matter what the price is, I'm willing to buy it."

It seemed a bit abrupt, and he added with a smirk, "Of course, if Madam doesn't have much wine, or doesn't want to sell it, she has the right to talk nonsense."

That's what he said, but he still looked at Ning Qiu's wine gourd, obviously an alcoholic.

"Although the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but the wine also needs someone who can taste it in order to reflect its value." Ning Qiu looked at him for a while, took off the wine gourd, and pushed it away with the palm of his hand In front of the man in white, and the other party caught it firmly, it seems that he has martial arts.

Being able to approach quietly, Qinggong must be very outstanding.

"A gentleman doesn't take people's favor. I'm willing to pay a lot of money to buy this fine wine." Er, then took out a land deed and stuffed it to Ning Qiu, "This is my house. I heard that it occupies a large area and is luxuriously decorated. Now I will give it to my wife."

Look at the sign on the title deed, Yunjian Villa? Ning Qiu raised his brows unexpectedly, and became curious about the man's origin. Did he approach him intentionally, or did he know him accidentally?

She pushed back the title deed, "The house is expensive, I can't afford it."

"The madam is joking. In the eyes of others, the house is indeed very valuable, but in my eyes, compared with fine wine, it is no different from the soil." He showed a fascinated look.

"Since the young master said so, then I will be disrespectful." Ning Qiu smiled and took the land deed with a calm expression.

Why should she refuse something that this person gets for free, whether intentional or not?

Besides, I left the small mountain village in two days, and I still don’t know where to go. This Yunjian Villa is a good place to go.

They have already been suspected. Since entering the town in the morning, different people have been following them, so she did not want to enter the world, but was forced to pull into the whirlpool. In this case, she would like to see , What exactly are these five artifacts?

"As the saying goes, you have a fate to meet a thousand miles away, but you don't know each other if you don't meet." The man in white put away the gourd wine very precious, and then looked at Ning Qiu and smiled, "The next name is Ji. Ping, dare to ask your madam's surname."

"Ning Qiu." Ning Qiu also responded with a small smile.

Ji Ping found a seat and leaned against it comfortably, although it was familiar but not offensive, "Mrs. Ning is also waiting for the lion dance at night? I heard about these circuses, but He is very famous and was once invited to the palace to perform for the Queen Mother's birthday."

"Oh, since that's the case, it's not cheap to be invited to perform once. Who is so generous in Qingshui Town." Ning Qiu followed the words, and her sense of Ji Ping was not bad .

Ji Ping is most likely approaching with purpose, but his eyes are clean and magnanimous, and there is no harm in it, or to a large extent, to confirm something?

Of course, it's just her guess now, and the details will depend on later observation.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Ning doesn't know, this time the circus was invited by a wealthy businessman from Qingshui Town, and the owner of the circus is him."

Ji Ping smiled heartily, full of the spirit of a Jianghu Ranger.

"This generous invitation to share with others, I heard, is because the daughter of this wealthy businessman is married to the Wulin League, the son of the head of the Lei family."

It sounds like she's sending her a message. Ning Qiu was suspicious in his heart, but he still pretended not to understand anything on his face, and joked, "Young Master Ji really knows a lot, shouldn't he be known as Bai Xiaotong as mentioned in the picture book?"

"Could it be that Mr. Ji is a knight who fights with swords?"

Ji Ping immediately pressed his lips with his index finger, "Shh!"

Ning Qiu: ? ? ?

Ji Ping opened his fan with a snap, blocked his face, and whispered, "Mrs. Ning doesn't know, the recent rivers and lakes are not peaceful, as long as you hear that there are knights in Qingzhou City, you will be arrested by others. People are watching."

"Why did you say this?" Ning Qiu blinked and asked curiously.

Ji Ping shook his head and sighed, "Alas, in Jianghu Jianghu, in addition to martial arts and swordsmanship, they are naturally weapons, and the competition will never stop."

When Yunjian Villa was still brilliant, it could withstand the noise of the martial arts, but the rumors of the artifact that were false were spread, and they were destroyed overnight, and all the factions in the martial arts were restless.

"As long as there are two or more groups, there will be competition for interests, which is also normal." Ning Qiu could see clearly that people in Jianghu have always respected martial arts, and naturally valued the weak and the strong.

"Mrs. Ning is right, Ji has been taught." Ji Ping smiled.

When the two chatted and tried each other, the dim night gradually shrouded, the street was brightly lit, and people came and went, making the society more prosperous.

Ning Dong woke up and subconsciously shouted, "Mother..."

"Awake? The lion dance is about to start." Ning Qiu helped him straighten his hair and put on a small jacket to avoid catching a cold at night.

"I'm going to see the lion dance!" Ning Dong was instantly drowsy, and when she saw a stranger looking at him with a smile, she wondered, "Mother, who is he? "

Ning Qiu thought for a while, "Well...he's mother's drinking friend, Dongzi should call him Uncle Ji."

"Hello Uncle Ji." Ning Dong greeted obediently.

"Hello, little one." The smile on Ji Ping's face became even stronger, and he looked at Ning Dong with love in his eyes.

Ning Qiu keeps an eye on Ji Ping, he seems to be looking at some memories through Ning Dong.

Does he know Ningdong's life experience and deliberately approach him because of this?

"Mother, let's go see the lion dance!" Ning Dong took Ning Qiu's hand and interrupted her train of thought.

"Okay, let's go." Ning Qiu stood up and Ning Dong pulled him forward.

But after taking two steps, she looked back at Ji Ping, "Do you want to come with Ji Gongzi?"

"Since Mrs. Ning invited me, I would be more respectful than obey." Ji Ping seemed to be waiting for these words, and immediately stood up and walked beside him.

Ning Qiu...I'll be polite, and take it seriously?

But by the time they got to the lion dance place, it was already too late, it was already crowded with people, and there were still few inside and three floors outside, and they couldn't see it even on tiptoes.

"Mother, I can't see the lion." Ning Qiu raised her head, and all she saw were crowded people, she immediately raised her eyebrows, very disappointed.

"Does Dongzi really want to see it?" Ji Ping bent down and smiled.

Ningdong nodded heavily, "Mmmm, I want to see it."

"Uncle Ji will show you."

Ning Dong looked overjoyed when she heard the words, but did not respond, but looked at Ning Qiu first.

"Go." Ning Qiu nodded.

With permission, Ning Dong put her hand in Ji Ping's palm. At this moment, Ji Ping's eyes were hot and his heart was a little sad.

It took seven years, traveled all over the world, and checked all the suspects, and he finally found the son of the eldest brother.

He was full of gratitude to Ning Qiu from the bottom of his heart.

Carefully holding Ning Dong's hand, Ji Ping looked at Ning Qiu, his face was already handsome and handsome, and when he smiled, he was really handsome, "Mrs Ning, do you want to come with us to see it? ."

"No, I'll just wait for you on the bridge." Ning Qiu shook her head, she lowered her eyes to look at Ning Dong who was full of anticipation, and warned, "Remember not to be naughty, you're done. Come back, mother is waiting for you on the bridge."

"I see, mother, I'll take a look and I'll be back soon." Ning Dong nodded and assured.

When he was held by Ji Ping in his arms, he struggled to get down, but when he saw Ning Qiu smiling at him, he became quiet again.

When he grew up so big, he had never been separated from his mother, and suddenly he was very uneasy, for fear that his mother would leave and he would not be wanted.

When Ji Ping saw this scene, he was also very emotional.

At first, he was still thinking, should he find a chance to tell Ning Qiu about Dongzi's life experience, and then propose to take the child back and take care of it himself.

But this sign was immediately cut off.

Mrs. Ning is not a biological mother but more like a mother. She raised Dongzi to be smart and cute, and Dongzi is also very dependent on her.

If he appeared suddenly, he said that he would take the child away, which would be too inhuman, and Fuyuko would not be willing.

Ji Ping Yun performed light work and flew to the roof next to the street. He could have a panoramic view of the scenery below, and naturally he could see the lion dance.

This angle is facing the bridge head, allowing Ningdong to see his mother at all times.

On the bridge, Ning Qiu had a rough guess about Ji Ping's identity.

Damage? There is no such opportunity. In addition, to be able to care about a strange child and exude kindness, it should be to know Fuyuko's life experience.

If Fuyuko wants to leave her and return to her biological parents, she doesn't care. If I want to continue living with her, I will treat her as a child.

Of course, all of this is based on when Ji Ping revealed his identity.

On the roof, Ji Ping sensed that the killing intent was coming, he quickly hid Ning Dong behind him, staring coldly ahead, "Yan Luo Temple? Really haunted!"

Headed by the killer of Yama Palace, who was covered with a black face scarf, only a pair of wicked eyes showed, "Ji Ping, you are seriously injured and you don't hide, yet you dare to wander around, you want us to take Your head is on the line, go back early to do business, right?"

At this time, a man in black noticed Ningdong's appearance, and his tone was a little excited, "Boss, this child looks just like the portrait passed down by the fourth and fifth. It's very likely that it was Si Mingkuan's missing son seven years ago!"

"Si Mingkuan's son? Hahaha, you can't find a place to break through the iron shoes. It takes no effort to get it." .

That old guy Si Mingkuan is still a bit capable, and in a dead end, he can send his children out.

It is not the style of a killer to let the tiger return to the mountain. After seven years of searching, Yama Temple finally found it!
