Chapter 03 Mission

When Nie Kong returned home, Hua Mei was busy again. The sound of carving knives slashing through the wooden blocks in the courtyard. In addition to the semi-finished products in his hand, there were four human-shaped wood carvings in front of Hua Mei, all of which were in the shape of Hua Mei. Hua Mei seemed to intentionally leave the last steps together.

Standing at the gate of the yard and watching quietly for a while, Nie Kong walked in and laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I've bought you something back."

"ah?"

Buy something for me? Hua Mei couldn't react for a moment. After stopping, she looked up at Nie Kong blankly. It was not until he walked up to him that Hua Mei suddenly woke up and wanted to get up and take the two cloth bags in Nie Kong's hand. She asked in confusion, "Uncle, what did you buy?"

"Don't get up first."

Nie Kong said as he reached into a cloth bag, then took out a beautifully made jade hairpin, shaking in front of Huamei, "Do you like it?"

"Yuchai?"

Hua Mei didn't expect that Nie Kong bought her a jade hairpin. She blushed for a moment, and she kept shaking her hands, refusing to say, "Uncle, I have a hairpin."

Nie Kong smiled silently and said, "Your wooden hairpin has been broken once. It should have been thrown away long ago. Let's change it to a new one. Come on, I'll help you insert it."

Seeing Nie Kong's body leaning towards him, Huamei looked even more shy: "No, no...ah, uncle, I'll do it myself, I..." Before he finished speaking, Nie Kong pulled out the wooden hairpin from her hair without saying a word and replaced it with the bright jade hairpin.

Nie Kong took a few steps back, looked at Huamei, and nodded with satisfaction quickly: "It looks great. I'm still worried that this jade hairpin is not suitable for you. Now it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary."

Opposite him, Huamei seemed to be frightened and jumped up in a hurry, her face was red and fragrant, so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands.

Nie Kong had long been accustomed to the shyness of Huamei. He smiled slightly and stuffed two cloth bags into her arms. One of them was filled with clothes, and the other was made of some wooden combs and other things.

Based on the memory in my mind and the understanding these days, Nie Kong realized that in the past three years, Hua Mei had almost never bought anything for her. All the clothes were prepared when she got married. She continued to use the wooden hairpin after being broken and the comb was fine teeth were missing. She was not willing to replace it.

Since Nie Kong went out, he simply took advantage of the time he was wandering around the city center to buy it for Huamei until he spent all the gold coins he brought in his pocket. This is still the jade from Tianling Continent is not as expensive as on the earth, otherwise those gold coins would not even be able to afford hairpins.

Nie Kong said softly: "Sister-in-law, now I no longer need to buy medicine to treat the disease. You can't treat yourself too badly like before."

"Um."

Hua Mei glanced at the cloth bag and even underwear. Her cheeks were red and burning like fire. Her head was drooping lower and lower. Her chin was almost touching the perky Yufeng on her chest. There was only a voice in her heart that kept ringing: "How can uncle buy me these?"

"Sister-in-law, I'll go to practice first. Don't wait for me for lunch. I just ate it outside."

"Um."

The sound of the flower eyebrows was like a mosquito gnaw, and he responded subconsciously, not even noticed that Nie Kong would leave at any time.

I don’t know how long it took, Hua Mei’s messy mood calmed down. She opened the two bags in turn and looked at them. Then she raised her hand to touch the jade hairpin on her head. She felt a little sweet and a little sad. Two hazy fog floated in her eyes without realizing it...

Southeast of the drill ground.

"Oh!"

In front of the rotating gyro, Nie Kong mobilized every part of his body, interlaced his feet quickly, backwards, left and right, and his arms quickly poked out, pointing to the iron pillar in the center of the gyro, and then retracting immediately. The extremely rhythmic and crisp collision sound drifted with the wind.

Since seeing Mu Hongling's demonstration the day before yesterday, he has been practicing hard against the gyroscopes in the past two days. Generally speaking, Nie Kong's progress is still good, and he will be clamped by the iron bars only after making more than a dozen attempts. Of course, this is still far from Mu Hongling's "body is like a spring".

People cannot become fat in one breath. Nie Kong is quite satisfied with himself, at least in terms of speed and physical reaction, he is almost one level higher than the day before yesterday.

"Da!Da!Da..."

"Crack!"

Half of his right palm was pinched, Nie Kong slapped his left palm at the top of the iron pillar, pulled out his right hand and swung it a few times, and continued to move, and a crisp sound came one after another.

Nie Kong stopped when he practiced himself so hard that he was sweating.

"Ah...ah..."

In Yaochi's hole, Xiangxiang called out weakly. Nie Kong frowned slightly. After a long time, the little guy became much more depressed again.

Yesterday, there was no medicine to absorb the fragrance. Nie Kong was still looking forward to the little guy being very hungry and would be interested in the dark green blood in the Yaochi hole. If it could absorb the dark green blood like when he recognized his master, it would also help Nie Kong get rid of a hidden worry.

Unfortunately, the little guy didn't absorb any blood.

Nie Kong has always been puzzled by this point. You must know that the little guy had successfully absorbed the dark green blood. Nie Kong could conclude that in addition to the hidden strange power, there must be something in the dark green blood that was strongly attracted to the purple phantom fragrance. Otherwise, after Nie Kong forced the guy to a hole night before, it would not slip back to the Yaochi acupoint without any hesitation.

However, what exactly is that kind of thing? Even through the spiritual connection with Xiangxiang, Nie Kong is still difficult to detect now.

"After most of the day, Lingbao Pavilion probably gave up on searching. It's time to buy herbs. If you wait any longer, the little guy will really have problems."

With a thought, Nie Kong strode out of the gyro area.

"The boring little guys are all here to gather together, there is a task!" Suddenly, a loud roar spread throughout the drilling venue.

The person who spoke was a fat man like a mountain of meat. He paused slightly and shouted loudly: "This time the task is very simple, it is to find someone in Jiyang City."

Mission? Find someone?

The boys and girls who were either resting, chatting, laughing, or wandering in the drill field all had their eyes glowing. These guys were practicing boringly every day and had long wanted to find something to adjust. When they heard of this simple but not dangerous task, they immediately became excited.

Find someone!

Hearing these two words, Nie Kong, who was about to leave, moved his heart and walked quickly towards the strong man in the center of the drill field. By the time he arrived, hundreds of people had gathered around the strong man, most of whom were under the age of 20, and even some children of eight or nine years old.

The strong man smiled and raised a portrait and said, "What you are looking for is this guy, who is in his twenties, medium-sized, pale and thin, hoarse in his voice, Jiyang's local accent..."

I was the one who was looking for this task of finding someone?! Go to the ball, is there any end to Lingbao Pavilion? Hearing the fat man's description, Nie secretly cursed, but he felt a little amused and crying. Unexpectedly, after searching for him, he finally involved the Nie family.

At this time, a messy voice rushed out: "Uncle Bronze, what is this man doing? Is he also a spiritual master? How is his cultivation?"

"Yes, yes, are there any rewards after finding him?"

“…”

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Nie Qingtong shouted loudly, his fat face trembled, "If you find it, there will be no reward, and if you don't find it, you won't punish you. Remember, don't act rashly after you find him, and pass the message back immediately. By the way, according to reliable news, this person has a spirit card that stores 16,000 gold coins in his hand, so everyone should pay attention to the stores in Jiyang City that can be exchanged for gold coins or directly paid with spirit cards."

"Remember all?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, go!"

Nie Qingtong waved his right palm like a palm-leaf fan, and hundreds of people rushed out of the drill field. Seeing this messy scene, Nie Qingtong shook his head and smiled, and quickly followed. As soon as they left, the drill field became empty, and there were only a few cultivators around him who were indifferent.

Nie Kong stood there, stunned, feeling extremely depressed, and cursed the eighteen generations of ancestors from "Lingbao Pavilion" several times: focusing on the shops that can be exchanged for gold coins and paid with spirit cards. If I go to buy medicine, it wouldn't be like sending it to my door by myself? Lingbao Pavilion, you, he, damn it's really sinister! Fortunately, I'm from the Nie family, otherwise I might have to fall into a big fuss this time.
