Chapter 184: Fighting Landlord?
"If we just sleep like this, what's the point of all the sweet anticipation?"
Xiangxiang called out a few times in her mind. Song An Ning grunted, scratched her butt with her hand, turned around and continued to sleep.
"..."
Seeing her master like this, Xiangxiang was a little speechless, but more of a heartache.
How tired must one be to fall asleep in less than ten seconds after closing one's eyes? Xiangxiang's voice became much lower as she thought about this.
"Forget it, have a good sleep. Good night, Master, and sweet dreams..."
After she finished speaking, she wanted to turn on the detection function and observe the surrounding situation at any time. The owner's safety is more important than anything else.
Unexpectedly, Song Anning, who had been snoring just now, suddenly sat up from the bed, looked at the time nervously, it was still early... and fell back on the bed to continue.
"Xiang, wake me up at 23:30 PM and let's go out.
Before that, bring Wei Shisan here and have him wait outside the city.
Okay, now go to bed."
"Okay, don't worry, Master."
The night watchman in the alley knocked three times, one fast and two slow:
Dong-dong-dong…
Shouts came from far away: "It's dry, be careful with fire..."
It was the first time that Song An Ning was woken up by the night watchman. She sat on the bed feeling a little confused. She was used to living in the village, so when she heard this suddenly, she couldn't react for a while.
"Master, it's not time yet. You can sleep a little longer. Xiangxiang will wake you up."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Is Wei Shisan here? What has he been doing these past two days?"
Generally speaking, Xiangxiang would report any special situations Wei Shisan encountered, but Song Anning still wanted to ask.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust him, but Xiangxiang sometimes can’t understand the implicit meaning in human words.
Some important information could easily be skipped by her, so when Song An Ning had nothing to do, she would ask Xiang Xiang to tell her in detail who Wei Shisan met and what he said.
"Wei Shisan is already outside the city, in the woods at the end of the market.
It's not surprising, after two days in the mine, someone actually praised Wei Shisan."
"Hmm? How did you compliment me?"
"He said: Thirteen, you're really amazing. You've been able to stay in this mountain valley this long, covered in dirt and mud. It must be so hard..."
As for me, I can only take care of herbs and other things. It’s so boring on the island..."
"..."
The naive Xiangxiang couldn't understand so many ironic words. If someone said Wei Shisan was amazing, she would take it as a compliment.
"An island with herbs? Isn't that the island I saw last time when I got mushroom poisoning? Is it really there? Is it a mirage?"
Song Anning's mind was full of what that person had just said, the island full of herbs... To be honest, she was quite greedy for it.
Islands where herbs can be grown need fresh water and fertile soil, but because the salt content of seawater is too high, the soil on smaller islands is extremely poor or covered with reefs.
Ali's men were worldly-wise and they could show off in front of their companions, which meant that the island was extremely large and the things on the island were enough to excite Song An for several days.
"Can you tell me who Wei Shisan is? Which island is he on?"
The result was similar to what Song Anning had thought. The person was Wei Twelve, and no one else knew...
"Forget it, take your time. Let's go and do something big."
"Hehe, Xiangxiang just wants to know what the master is going to do. He's so mysterious and has to go out in the middle of the night, and even go through the window!"
With Number One there, it seemed easy enough to disappear from one's room and appear outside the city.
It only takes a few takeoffs and landings, and whoosh whoosh, you will reach your destination.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Master, I finally understand what you are going to do."
Xiangxiang's tone of voice sounded somewhat mocking. Just by listening to her voice, Song Anning could imagine the way she would shake her head if she became a real person.
"What are you doing? I don't think our Ah Xiang can guess it with her intelligence!"
“Huh, I knew that a long time ago.
Master, you want to fight! Landlord!
Wei Shisan, Number One, and the Master, the three of you can form a perfect team.
But the question is, Wei Shisan is a little fool, and Number One is still a machine, a human-machine version of a stupid chess and card game?"
"..."
What outrageous talk are you talking about? What kind of good person would come to the woods to play Landlord in the middle of the night, not only getting covered in mosquito bites, but also asking these two to play with him?
"Hehe, that's right. The master wouldn't be that stupid. It's Xiangxiang who's emotionally excited."
"Okay, Xiangxiang, stop talking nonsense. First, give each of the three of us a set of black night clothes. After we put them on, have Number One and Wei Thirteen use their Qinggong skills to take me to Guyue Village.
Yes, it’s the village closest to the town.”
Although Xiangxiang was confused, she still gave orders as quickly as possible. Then the two of them grabbed Song Anning, whose pants were half-pulled up, and left. The long belt fell from mid-air in a beautiful posture.
"..."
She finally understood that every time she wanted to act big and become the heroic heroine she imagined, she would definitely make a big mistake that would make others lose face.
"Hahaha, the master is so embarrassed..."
Song An Ning raised her eyebrows disapprovingly and said with a smile: “What does Mr. Ning An’s shame have to do with me, Song An Ning?
You're laughing at the wrong person, little Ah Xiang."
"Hahaha, Master, these are all twisted theories."
While they were bickering, Number One and Wei Thirteen had already completed their mission and were waiting for her next instructions.
They were now standing on the branches of a large tree with a good view, able to see most of the village.
"Xiangxiang, take out the seeds I left, divide them into small packages of ten pounds each, and wrap them in oil paper."
"Ding, it's all done!"
Song Anning was very satisfied with the speed. After rummaging through her backpack, she asked Xiangxiang to add ten copper coins to each oil paper bag.
These copper coins were from the dozens of boxes I found when I last collected the Wanhetang warehouse.
From then on, she made up her mind that these things would not be used easily. If they were to be used, the people of Ping'an Town would have to get something in return.
Today, she wanted to distribute the money that Wanhetang had taken unscrupulously over the past two years equally to everyone in Ping'an Town.
Ten kilograms of seeds isn't a lot, but it's definitely not a small amount. Ninety percent of families don't use up all of it.
As for those ten copper coins, they weren't enough to do anything big, but they could still buy five pounds of whole grain flour or three pounds of cornmeal. For a family struggling to survive, it could at least give them a glimmer of hope, right?
However, it is difficult to put the oil paper bags at the door of every house.
Although Wei Shisan and Number One were quite skilled, they couldn't be allowed to climb over the walls of every house, could they? If someone woke up at night and saw a man in black standing in their yard, it would be frightening enough to death.
Song An Ning didn't want his good intentions to backfire, so after rolling his eyes a few times, he set his sights on Xiangxiang.
"Xiang, my invincible little Xiangxiang.
There’s something that’s been stuck in my heart for a long time, and I want to say it but I don’t dare…”
"..."
