Chapter 325 You just want to die without saving anything
Shen Ningning looked at the four newly grown trees in front of her and scratched her face in confusion.
The trees were bare and glowed with a dark golden color.
But nothing grew on the tree branches.
Shen Ningning confirmed again and again that after eating three boxes of jade from her, only four golden trees grew in the fairyland.
She clasped the bark of the tree with her little hands: "Well, it turns out it's a real tree, and there's no gold in it."
Shen Ningning looked up at the branches on the tree.
After a long while, she said to herself comfortingly: "There must be some fruit, but it hasn't grown yet. Just wait two days and see."
That day, the sky was gloomy and the cold wind was howling.
Xie Mingan walked in the snow with four followers and several boxes of gifts in his hands.
After asking the villagers passing by along the way, I finally found Xu Jingxi's residence.
A dilapidated little yard with holes in the walls.
Standing outside the fence garden, Xie Mingan looked at Xu Jingxi's residence and couldn't help but frown.
I heard that Xu Jingxi was called a living literary star by many scholars in the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies.
They say he is as talented as a child prodigy.
But such a child prodigy lives in such a harsh environment?
Xie Mingan felt a little regretful.
He asked his attendants to knock on the door.
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Xu Jingxi was wearing a washed white robe, with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows.
There are still scars where I was burned by the oil pan.
Although Shen Ningning sent a lot of spiritual spring water over for him to take a good dip.
But Xu Jingxi knew that the water had miraculous effects and was reluctant to use it himself. He boiled it all for Grandpa Xu to drink.
On his own, there were long, thin scars on his arms that were difficult to remove.
When Xu Jingxi saw that it was Xie Mingan, she asked with a cold face: "What's the matter?"
Xie Mingan said solemnly: "What happened before was because I didn't understand the situation and misunderstood you and Shen Ningning, so I came here to apologize."
"Also. ," He took out the crescent jade pendant and handed it to him: "You dropped this at that time."
Xu Jingxi lowered her eyes and glanced at the jade pendant, her expression unchanged.
"So you picked it up."
But he refused to take it back, and only said: "Take it away, it's not important."
Xie Ming'an was secretly shocked, and frowned slightly on his face.
"Where did you get this jade pendant? Why is it not important?" The son of the Xie family was born with this piece of jade. The jade will be buried with him when he is alive and when he dies.
Xu Jingxi's expression was calmer and deeper than Feng Xue.
"In my grandfather's words, this jade should have been with me since I was a baby, maybe it was left by my parents."
"But it's not important, because I don't care who my parents are, and I don't I'm in the mood to find out who my bloodline comes from."
"I'm not like Shen Ningning. She is looking forward to reuniting with her family, but I just want to live well now."
Xie Ming'an looked complicated: "You..."
He didn't finish his sentence, Xu Jingxi said. He interrupted and said, "You seem to be very interested in this jade, so I'll give it to you."
"But, I have a request."
Xie Mingan asked, "What request?"
Xu Jingxi said coldly, "Stop bullying me. Shen Ningning."
After saying that, he closed the fence door directly.
Looking at his thin figure, Xie Mingan frowned.
Xu Jingxi has a strong character, and this stubbornness is very much like the Xie family.
The attendant behind him asked: "Second Young Master, what should I do with these gifts?"
Xie Mingan turned around with deep eyes: "Put them at the door for him. It's up to him if he wants it or not."
After saying that, he put the crescent jade pendant away. Leave with people.
Shen Ningning observed it for three consecutive days.
I discovered that the golden tree in her fairyland had grown four small fruits, the color of which were like chestnuts. The little guy didn't know what it was or what it did, so he decided to wait.
On this day, she had just returned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and passed by Xiangyun Village.
From a distance, I saw a crowd of people at the entrance of the village.
Wait for Shen Ningning to walk over with Chen Ye.
Only then did they realize that it was the head of Mei Village of Xitai Village who came with several villagers!
They wanted to enter the village, but were stopped by the old village chief.
Seeing Shen Ningning, Village Chief Mei seemed to have seen a savior.
"Ning Ning, my dear, I have waited for you. Tell me, we are not robbers. Your old village chief of Xiangyun Village is still blocking us from entering. It is really unreasonable."
He came forward to complain excitedly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Shen Ningning, on the other hand, had a calm expression on her face: "I ordered you to rush out if you see you coming."
Village Chief Mei's face froze: "This..."
The little guy blinked his big eyes, holding the heater and said: " We didn't reach an agreement that time and broke up on bad terms. Why did Village Chief Mei come to see me?"
Village Chief Mei rubbed his hands and shivered in the cold wind.
He said: "After you left, we also reflected on it. It is true that we lions opened our mouths and asked for too much."
"So, we discussed it and wanted to talk to you again."
Shen Ningning hasn't spoken yet, then Bian Liu's sister-in-law ouched and laughed.
"Village Chief Mei, I heard that people in your village went up to the mountains to hunt secretly, but were chased down by tigers."
Village Chief Mei looked embarrassed.
Originally, they felt that Shen Ningning had no control over hunting in the mountains.
After all, this mountain is not hers.
Why do they just listen when she doesn't let them hunt?
However, several young men from Xitai Village went up the mountain. Every time they encountered wild beasts, they were either killed or injured.
Shen Ningning had indeed warned him, but he didn't listen.
Thinking of this, Village Chief Mei's smile towards Shen Ningning became even more flattering.
"Ning Ning, let's do this. We have changed our minds."
"We promise you that we will never go hunting secretly in the mountains again."
"But as compensation, you have to give each of our households three big bags of rice and noodles, and each family four big bags. To bundle firewood, we have to give us fur coats according to the number of people in each family."
"Before, we asked you to ask for quilts, but this time, we don't want them. You have to ask for rice, flour, firewood and fur coats. Do you agree?"
The villagers in Xiangyun Village shouted angrily -
"Hey, Mei Zhijian, you really dare to say something like this."
Shen Ningning frowned.
She spoke, her tone childish but clear.
"Mei Village Chief, I think you misunderstood me. I reminded you not to hunt in the mountains out of kindness. As you said, the mountains are not mine, so I have no reason to compensate you."
"Even if I do, it's I'm helping out of love. If I don't give it, it doesn't break the rules. You can use the money to buy the things you want. Otherwise, I have no reason to give them for free."
Sister-in-law Liu raised her voice and said: "That's right . ! All of us in Xiangyun Village listened to Ning Ning and bought it ourselves.
"You guys are just asking for so much."
Village Chief Mei couldn't hold back after being criticized by so many people. .
He said with gloomy eyes: "Princess, if you say that, you are unreasonable."
"We don't go hunting in the mountains, but we still have to live. If you don't provide us with relief, what work will we do?"
Shen Ningning said calmly. He said: "I can't stop you from going up the mountain, and I have no obligation to care about your lives."
The expression on Mei Village Chief's face changed, and he became a little ferocious.
"So, you just want to die without saving me!"
