Chapter 303 A genius boy in Yunzhou?
(My dears, Chapter 302 is at the end of the previous chapter. Please go ahead and read it. Please bear with me for my full attendance!)
"Qiqi, thank you, I like this dress very much!"
A smile appeared on Ye Dingzhi's face. He put away the suit and put it back into the cloth bag.
Shen Qiqi was overjoyed when she heard him say that. She said with great joy:
"Do you really like it? Then wait until spring comes in a few days, and I'll make you another spring dress. We have plenty of fabric and needlework at home."
Ye Dingzhi had to admit that he could see a different kind of beauty in Shen Qiqi, especially when she smiled, her eyebrows like a crescent moon and her eyes like a deep pool.
The whole person is like the drizzle in the afternoon of spring, neither anxious nor irritable, exuding an incomparable sense of comfort.
"Qiqi is incredibly kind to me. Apart from my mother and master, she's the only one who cares about my hunger, cold, thirst and warmth..."
Thinking of this, Ye Dingzhi's heart, which had been torn apart by hatred and loss, also began to warm up.
Maybe this is what it feels like to be loved.
Ye Dingzhi clutched the cloth bag in his hand, looked into the distance, and felt a sense of hesitation in his heart:
"But why have I never experienced this feeling with Wenjun? I only want to travel thousands of miles with her, but I think it's just to fulfill my long-cherished wish of escaping the secluded palace with her?"
"Ye Dingzhi, what are you daydreaming about? It's the early afternoon, time for lunch! Sit down for a while, I'll go find the monkey cub!"
There are so many thoughts in my mind, but they cannot compare to the words of the people around me.
After hearing Shen Qiqi's words, Ye Dingzhi came out of his thoughts and gently handed the lunch box to Shen Qiqi:
"wait for me a while!"
After saying that, he used his lightness skills to fly towards the wasteland where Ye Xiaofan and his group of children had left.
Soon, Ye Xiaofan, who was holding the firecrackers and refused to let go, was brought back.
Shen Qiqi covered her mouth and smiled at Ye Dingzhi:
"In this family, you are the only one who can control him!"
Ye Xiaofan reluctantly put the firecrackers in his arms and muttered:
"I was having fun when Ye Dingzhi suddenly jumped out and grabbed me away... Sister, tell me! Was this your idea?"
Ye Dingzhi took the food box, tapped Ye Xiaofan on the head and said with a smile:
"It was my idea. Hurry up and eat lunch. Didn't you say you'd show me the 'Difficult Road to Shu' chapter you learned this month?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan immediately said seriously:
"Ah! I was so busy frying field mice that I forgot about the important matter!"
"Right, right, right, right... In the chapter "The Difficult Road to Shu" in "Poetry and Sword Techniques", there's a line -"
"Above, six dragons circle the sun on a high peak; below, a river winds back and forth against the current. Even the yellow crane cannot fly over it; monkeys struggle to climb across it. The green mud twists and turns, winding around the rocks and hills, nine times a hundred steps."
"I've never been able to grasp the sword techniques contained in this poem. A few years ago, I went to ask Mr. Liu at my private school about it. He said this three-line poem describes the unique and dangerous nature of Sichuan and Shu. If I want to understand its true meaning, I need to personally set foot on the ancient Jiange Road to understand its mysteries!"
"Ye Dingzhi, are you free recently? How about we go to the Jiange Ancient Road?"
As the three of them were talking, they came to the flat area of the threshing ground. Ye Dingzhi pulled over three piles of dry straw and the three of them sat opposite each other.
"Okay, but you have to eat first!"
Ye Dingzhi opened the food box, and the aroma filled the air. Inside were three dishes and a jar of soup—a plate of braised rabbit, a plate of stir-fried spicy chicken, a bowl of stewed eel with tofu, and a jar of Cross-Bridge Chicken Soup.
Shen Qiqi also distributed the bowls and chopsticks to the three people. Fortunately, Yunzhou is located in the southwest, so it is still quite warm at noon.
"Sister, why are the needle holes on your hands denser than before..."
Ye Xiaofan took the bowl and chopsticks, and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the needle hole on Shen Qiqi's left index finger.
Only then did Ye Dingzhi see that Shen Qiqi's hands were not only covered with dense needle holes from old wounds that had not yet healed, but also had some calluses that had dried and peeled off...
Is this really the hand of a seventeen-year-old girl?
Ye Dingzhi couldn't help but hold Shen Qiqi's hand:
"Qiqi, is this injury from making clothes for me...?"
In just a moment, Shen Qiqi's face turned as red as the maple leaves on the top of Yunzhou's Ailao Mountain, and the red spread from her ears to her neck.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but she was reluctant, and stammered:
"It's okay... It's okay. There's no way to make clothes without getting pricked by the needle. It will be fine after a few days... Ye Dingzhi, go eat quickly..."
Ye Xiaofan's eyes flickered. Even though his mouth was full of rabbit meat, he put down his chopsticks and clapped his hands incoherently.
"Great! Ye Dingzhi held my sister's hand, so I can only marry Ye Dingzhi from now on!"
This sentence made Shen Qiqi's head hang even lower, and Ye Dingzhi quickly let go. A blush crept onto the boy's cheeks.
"Hey, the two of you are almost forty years old combined, and you're still not as insightful as me, an eleven-year-old!"
"In my opinion, you two shouldn't bother picking a date. Why not just wait for Ye Dingzhi and I to return from Sichuan and Shu... Let's invite Chef Fan from town. I'm craving a feast, too!"
"How is it? How is it? Why are you two blushing? Let's talk business!"
Ye Xiaofan was a child who spoke without restraint, and his mind was focused on nothing else but the feast.
The result was that the child was slapped on the bun by his sister and Ye Dingzhi, and almost choked!
"You little monkey, no amount of meat can fill your mouth... What nonsense are you talking about? Eat quickly. I have to go back and make lanterns with my mother."
Although Shen Qiqi was cursing, she felt sweet in her heart.
Ye Dingzhi just focused on eating and didn't dare to respond to Ye Xiaofan's words.
After taking a few bites, Ye Dingzhi put down his bowl and chopsticks and fled to the side like a flash. By chance, the two scrolls in his arms fell out.
Ye Xiaofan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed the scroll the moment it fell to the ground.
"what is this?"
Ye Xiaofan curiously opened one of the scrolls, and as the scroll unfolded, the first name was revealed -
"Good Jade List, eighth place—Wen Family, Wen Xiaoxiao!"
When he turned the scroll again, his own name was among them—
"Good Jade List, seventh place - Yunzhou Sanqi Shop, Ye Xiaofan!"
When Ye Xiaofan saw the three words "Ye Xiaofan", he raised his head curiously and asked Ye Dingzhi who ran to the side:
"Ye Dingzhi, why is my name on this Liangyu List? Did they make a mistake and write your previous alias on it?"
Ye Ding was startled, and immediately came over to take the scroll and took a look at it, his eyes widened immediately:
"No! Ye Xiaofan, it's you that's written on it!"
The fact that a country boy of only ten years old could actually make it onto the Liang Yu List of Jianghu Known Ones only shocked Ye Dingzhi!
Ye Xiaofan was inexperienced in worldly affairs, and of course he had no idea what it meant to be on the Liangyu List at his age.
But Ye Dingzhi knew very well that the innocent Ye Xiaofan in front of him might be the martial arts genius in Yunzhou in the past hundred years!
