Ning Xingyu: "Okay! I saw the weapons you two have. You are so powerful. How did you bring them out?"
Zhu Jiahuan showed his small white teeth and said enigmatically: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Zhu Ruiying wrinkled her nose and glanced at her second brother.
In this way, Ning Xingyu was invited into the Zhu family courtyard. The children were playing around and soon became one with each other.
The adults looked at the half-turned ground with some distress.
Shen: "Now that things have come to this, is this land still being planted?"
Zhu Yingzhuo scratched his head and picked up the hoe: "Let's plant it. We have to give miracles a chance, right?"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Shen's eyes were full of smiles, and she said with some admiration: "I really admire your mentality all the time."
Zhu Yingzhuo approached Mrs. Shen and said softly: "It is normal for a wife to admire her husband. I will let you continue to admire her."
Then plant, it’s almost over anyway, don’t give up halfway, just think of it as giving a chance for a miracle to come.
Mrs. Xu went to wash some apples and gave one to each of the children.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Xu smiled: "You are a little kid, you are quite sweet, Xingyu, why are you here?"
"They said that my father took bribes from others, but my father was an upright man."
When Ning Xingyu said this, there was no big emotional ups and downs, as if it didn't matter whether others believed in him or not. He said this just to express his trust in his father's character.
Mrs. Xu said with pity, "I'm sorry for you, my child."
Ning Xingyu looked up at Mrs. Xu. After being stunned for a second, he showed a look of joy.
Mrs. Xu believed what he said. He didn't hear the ridicule. All he saw in Mrs. Xu's eyes was love.
This realization slowly revived some of the frozen emotions in Ning Xingyu's heart.
Mrs. Xu didn't realize how much warmth her actions gave the child. She just felt it. After all, this child was the same as her children. As a mother, she would naturally want to be with her. My heart aches for children who are in the same situation.
Zhu Ruiying ate an apple and squatted aside to look at the soil.
"What are you looking at?"
Ning Xingyu was very fond of this little sister. Originally, he was competing with his good brothers, yes, the newly acquainted Zhu brothers, to learn martial arts, but his attention was always on Zhu Ruiying, and after a while, the pupa fell on Zhu Ruiying's body. Next to her, he squatted with her.
"I'm looking at the dirt."
“What’s so good about dirt?”
"Let's see if there is something wrong with the soil. Why can't we grow food on such good land?"
Zhu Ruiying actually didn't know much about farming, but looking at her family's reactions, it shouldn't be impossible to grow food in such a land, not to mention that it was a sea of flowers before.
Zhu Ruiying thought, the growth environment of flowers and food should be the same. Flowers can be grown, but why can't potatoes be grown?
Zhu Ruiying was very serious, and Ning Xingyu followed her to watch. After a long time, both Zhu Ruiying and Ning Xingyu finished the apples in their hands.
Ning Xingyu finally couldn't help but asked: "What did you see?"
Zhu Ruiying's face was serious, and she finally realized a problem...
In fact, she doesn't understand geology.
Zhu Ruiying blinked and stood up. Her eyes were sore from staring at one place just now.
"aunt."
Xu: "Huh? Ruiying still wants to eat apples?"
Zhu Ruiying burped: "No, aunt, can you read the ground?"
Mrs. Xu: "My aunt doesn't know much about it, but your mother knows something about the earth."
The Shen family is a large farming family, and Shen was also very knowledgeable about farming before leaving the court.
Zhu Ruiying said oh and ran to Shen's side again.
"Mother."
"Huh?" Shen wiped the sweat from her face, "What's wrong? Ruiying wants to eat an apple?"
Zhu Ruiying shook her head: "Mother, is there anything wrong with this place?"
Shen: "Actually, it doesn't seem to be a big problem."
Shen said a little uncertainly, but she really didn't see any problem. At least the land was not so barren that there would be no harvest without natural disasters.
"So, under normal circumstances, such land can grow food, right?"
Shen was a little unsure: "Probably...right."
Zhu Ruiying nodded slightly.
Okay, that's right, then it's not a matter of land.
If it's not a land issue, then there's something in this town that leads to this result.
Perhaps her good disciple can help her solve her doubts.
Mrs. Shen didn't know what her daughter was thinking. She tried to listen to her daughter's thoughts but didn't hear anything.
When she was squatting there, Mrs. Shen noticed her. From the corner of her eye, she saw her little daughter's face was serious, but what she was thinking was...
[What’s wrong with this broken ground? 】
Shen: "..."
Therefore, she understood at that time that the omnipotent little daughter did not understand the knowledge on the earth.
Shen was so soft-hearted.
This child really warmed her heart all the time.
She should obviously be eating fruit without any worries and playing with her brothers carelessly.
"Baby, don't worry. You don't have to worry about anything. Have fun with your brothers. Mom won't let you go hungry, and neither will our family."
So you don't have to worry so much. Children should be carefree and happy.
Zhu Ruiying did not doubt that he was there, she just nodded obediently, ran to the side, and was her good baby, not to disturb the adults.
During dinner, Ning Xingyu returned home. After everyone chatted for a while, the adults began to think about renting land and planned to go see the situation tomorrow.
After deciding, everyone packed up and got ready for bed.
Zhu Ruiying also slept for a while, woke up on time at the third watch, got down lightly and walked out of the yard.
Ji Yan is indeed here.
"you……"
Zhu Ruiying raised her head and put on airs: "Call Master."
Ji Yan: "...Master."
"Well, good disciple," Zhu Ruiying was satisfied and sat on the stone bench. "Let me ask you, why can't we grow more crops here?"
Ji Yan didn't expect that she would ask questions directly as soon as she came over.
Ji Yan said quietly with a complex expression: "Have you never heard of the legend here?"
"I heard it, so why can't I plant it?"
Ji Yan: “Because of the mass graves, there are many innocent souls.”
Zhu Ruiying snorted: "To be honest, otherwise you will beat you."
Ji Yan: "..."
There are children here and there, aren't they bandits and hooligans?
"Because there is a demon underground in this town, it has an impact."
"Demon? Underground? What kind of demon? Sealed in."
"No, it's hibernating. It found its own place to live."
Zhu Ruiying knew little about it. She was not interested in why the demon found this place as its habitat. She was only interested in things that affected their family.
"How long will it hibernate?"
"A few decades."
Zhu Ruiying clicked her tongue, feeling annoyed and having no choice. She could be polite and tolerate it for a year or two, but after decades, decades later, her family could live a prosperous life without doing anything. This was simply irritating, no. .
"What kind of monster are you? Do you have high moral standards?"
"It's not too high. Tan Ning doesn't have a very high-level demon. What's more, it was beaten eight years ago and its luck and vitality were severely damaged, so it had to hibernate."
Zhu Ruiying understood that as long as his moral character was not high, it would be fine. If the conversation did not go smoothly, it would be easy to kill him.
"Why do you want to help the Zhu family?"
Ji Yan thought for a while and finally asked out the confusion in his heart.
Helping the Zhu family in Tan Ning is just causing trouble for yourself.
"I am the Zhu family. If I don't help the Zhu family, will I be waiting for my family to be killed?"
"Aren't you seizing the body?"
Zhu Ruiying's expression said it all.
Only then did Ji Yan react: "You're not a demon, then what are you?"
"There is no need to tell you my affairs, apprentice, you have so many questions."
Ji Yan: "I'm sorry, I just..."
"As long as I can beat you, you don't need to know the rest."
Ji Yan nodded silently, his mind racing. It wasn't a body snatching, it wasn't a demon, could it be...
From last night to now, Ji Yan finally had a mood other than unlucky feeling, which was a kind of secret joy.
This person couldn't be from the Nine Heavens and come down to experience calamity, right?
If you look at it this way, it is not impossible that she retained her memory and divine power for some reasons, and all her actions have a reasonable explanation.
Being able to become a disciple of the God Clan is also a good thing.
Ji Yan thought about it, and his heart became more balanced, and he looked at Zhu Ruiying with more sincerity besides violent suppression.
"So, as long as we get rid of that, we can grow food on this land, right?"
Ji Yan nodded: "Logically speaking, it should be like this. Before this demon took over this realm, it gave away all the flower demons here who had not transformed into human form... This turned out to be a good place."
"What kind of monster is this? Do you know?"
"Snake monster."
Zhu Ruiying thoughtfully said: "The snake demon with low moral standards... OK, I understand."
"Master, are you going to attack him? Do you need me to do anything for you?"
Zhu Ruiying looked at his attentive look and asked strangely: "How did your attitude change so quickly?"
Ji Yan smiled flatteringly: "I couldn't see Mount Tai before. Master, don't blame me."
Zhu Ruiying knew after a moment's thought that he had misunderstood something. However, this misunderstanding was good for her, so she was not going to explain it too much.
"What do the two people around you today have to do with our family?"
"One is a fox demon and the other is a flower demon. The father of one of them died in that massacre. Although the sister of one of them escaped with her life, her cultivation was gone and she returned to her original form. She should be unable to cultivate. Back to human form."
Zhu Ruiying: "Why can't you repair it?"
After practicing with concentration, since the demon has been cultivated once, it proves that it has sanity and potential. If it is just beaten back to its original shape, its cultivation is completely dissipated, and there are no other serious injuries, it will only be a matter of time before it can cultivate into a human form again. .
