idyllic tranquility

Maybe He Ning's advice was too strong, or maybe it was a subconscious avoidance of danger, Wang Zhangmu finally left.

He An accompanied He Ning standing at the door, watching the leaving figure disappear on the long road leading to the town, he turned his head, and the figure beside him was standing quietly all the time, without any expression on his face, but he Know that the other person is sad.

He Ning caught the distressed gaze before he could take it back. He An was a little embarrassed, but He Ning returned him with a big smile.

Why the big smiley face?

Before He An could figure it out, he felt something moist and soft covering his brows and eyes. He An was stunned and closed his eyes subconsciously.

"Don't look at me like that."

He Ning rubbed He An's restless eyelids with his fingers, and saw that the other party's ears, cheeks, and neck were flushed, but the eyes that had not been closed before were closed even tighter, so he approached He An maliciously. An's ear, blowing the hot air of speaking into He An's bright auricle.

"I am very happy to have you by my side all the time."

Seeing that the other party's red ears were so bright that they were about to bleed, He Ning didn't dare to do anything too much, for fear that He An's earlobe would really bleed. Just as he was about to open the distance between the two, He Ning found a hard The object pressed against his lower abdomen.

Following He Ning's gaze, He An also discovered his abnormality, and was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground for a while, and fled the scene without even daring to look at He Ning's reaction.

Only He Ning, who was standing at the door, grinned secretly. I don't know when it started, but the little tail behind him also grew up.

However, thinking about it, He An is two years older than himself, and now he is a 15-year-old boy. If calculated according to the imaginary age, he is at the age of sixteen or seventeen. It seems that I will have one more lesson in the future. It's a mission!

Before some restricted images appeared in He Ning's mind, a white pigeon fluttered its wings and landed under the eaves of the door, and slowly combed its feathers. He Ning, who found the white pigeon, concealed the curvature of the corner of his mouth. Skillfully took the note from the white pigeon's leg, and after unfolding it, only the words "very good" were seen.

It seems that the crossbow that Xiao Zhi took away from him was appreciated by that person, then, I will start to study the combo crossbow next...

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.Now that he has become an ordinary man who was found to be pregnant with Qibi, He Ning can only show his value to those in power.

In order not to be killed, He Ning told Xiao Zhi about the self-made crossbow hidden in his home, and used the yet-to-be-developed combo crossbow to whet the opponent's appetite, in exchange for the ordinary life that can continue today; otherwise, It's hard to guarantee that he will either be locked up or wiped out after he comes back.

Although after getting along with Xiao Zhi for a period of time and getting to know a part of his personality, He Ning didn't feel emotionally that he was such a vicious person who would just let go of the grind and kill the donkey to kill him, but intellectually he also understood Xiao Zhi's personality. Zhi himself is just a pawn in the hands of those in power, and his will does not represent that person's will.

Now he is like a snail with skills that can control the situation but has no shell and cannot protect himself. Not only was he exposed to the wolves naked, but he also performed barefoot tightrope walking without any safety measures. .

He Ning can't bet the lives of the whole family on Xiao Zhi's character and the mood of those in power, just like he can't expect the diameter of the steel wire he wants to walk to be 1.1 meters.He has to consider more possibilities and worst-case scenarios, and then keep arranging and combining the resources he can use in his mind, and seize all available opportunities to play the most suitable cards in different situations.

However, there is no foolproof formula when it comes to absolute class.Even if he tries his best to take every step, there will still be a part called luck that cannot be predicted.

I only hope that the person Xiao Zhi follows is someone with good ability and heart, who can allow himself, a non-staff member, to hide in a remote market village and quietly be a scientific researcher, and silently drive out the northern barbarian enemies for him until he ascends to imperial power Adding bricks and tiles to the pinnacle's great cause...

One month later

The news that there was another new thing in Beili Village not only spread throughout the villages and towns within a radius of dozens of miles in two days, but also attracted many merchants to visit Beili Village in person.

All of a sudden, the whole village became lively, and the aunts and aunts in the village seemed to have something to show off to outsiders. They gathered under the big locust tree at the head of the village every day to have a tea party, and they had a great time talking when they met outsiders.

When this middle-aged woman was gossiping, a group of businessmen asked suspiciously: "It is said that the He family who made the rocking chair is the one who made the He family's cradle?"

It's no wonder that the merchant asked such a question. After all, there are countless imitation He's cradles on the market. People heard that this cradle was first made by He's, so they tended to buy the ones with "He's" engraved on it. Few imitators even imitated the "He's" logo when imitating.In this society where there is no such thing as copyright protection, He Ning can only comfort himself that these counterfeit goods have at least helped them promote their popularity.

However, at this time, the aunts and aunts who knew the truth invariably scoffed at those imitation knockoffs, and rushed to popularize the origin of He's cradle to this foreign businessman, further spreading the word that it was actually the villagers who had a great market in Beili Village. The stories that are not true except for the time, place and characters that I made up in my mind when I have nothing to do.

The story is roughly like this. He Ning, the only seedling of the He family, felt sorry for his grandmother after the second aunt gave birth. After worrying day and night, he finally dreamed of this thing in his sleep. Made it out.

Of course, this story is more vividly described by the aunts and aunts, and it is a vivid example of the exemplary deeds of a filial son that can be included in elementary school textbooks.But in the eyes of interested people, the logic of this story is full of loopholes, and the story is just a story.Those who didn't see it were publicized as interesting things, but those who saw it were not true to the story. In addition, the story itself conformed to the social values ​​respected at the time, so it spread.This is also the reason why folk tales such as Meng Jiangnu crying over the Great Wall and Liang Shanbo Zhu Yingtai turning into butterflies have been circulated throughout the ages.

After popularizing the cradle, a dry-mouthed aunt took a deep breath, and another aunt who hadn't been addicted to gossip took over the gossip initiative, and happily talked about the story of He Ning making a rocking chair out of filial piety. The joyful demeanor has been learned to be eighty percent similar.

Even the fact that the He family bought a separate yard for He Ning to use as a studio was filled with mythology by the villagers, but the real reason was not pursued, and it became impossible to find out in the end.

With the power of public opinion, He Ning successfully diverted everyone's attention.

So, on an unusual afternoon, an ordinary peddler drove an old donkey into Beili Village, and transported out of the village the combo crossbow that He Ning had worked so hard to develop successfully.

At this time, Beili Village had already passed the climax of gossip, and such an ordinary businessman could not attract much attention from the villagers when he entered the village and left the village. After being addicted to gossip, each family began to inquire about the outsourcing of rocking chair parts early on. After all, everyone still cares more about livelihood matters that can bring actual benefits to their families.

It wasn't until the bell on the old donkey's neck disappeared on the dirt road in Beili Village that He Ning, who had been busy day and night for a month at the He family, was relieved a little. He didn't feel relieved until he returned to the house after a hasty meal at night. Ning's entire brain is still in a state of emptiness.

Long hours of continuous work under pressure caused He Ning's body to spread out on the bed, unwilling to move a finger, but his brain, which was used to continuous operation, was still excited.

He An cleaned up the chores early tonight, fetched hot water and went back to the house, and saw Da Lang lying limply on the bed with a tired look on his face, and felt distressed.

In order not to worry his family, his Dalang always looks happy and relaxed on weekdays. Only when he returns to their hut and only needs to face him, his Dalang will remove all disguises, Showing his truest state made He An's heart both warm and sore.

As usual, He An washed a hot cotton cloth and put it on He Ning's face, took off his shoes and socks and went to the other side of the bed, gently kneading He Ning's sore muscles.

He Ning did not fall into a deep sleep as quickly as usual, but grabbed the hot towel on his face, opened his eyes and quietly looked at He An's serious expression.

At the beginning, He An, who could concentrate on being a massage boy, gradually became stiff and uncoordinated under the gaze of He Ning's bright eyes, and finally even his ears turned red quietly.
