Chapter 41 Tension
The scheduled tasks were completed early, and the whole workshop became lively because of Ding Yi's joining. Jia Shiyuan and Lu Shiji then transformed into Ding Yi's teachers, teaching Ding Yi step by step some experience in work.
First of all, Jia Shiyuan was very attentive to the use of tools. He even customized a set of tools specifically for Ding Yi to correct every movement of Ding Yi. Lu Shiji also shared some of his experience in formations.
Teaching each other with almost no reservations.
Duoduo also joined in from time to time. Ding Yi happily completed the afternoon in such an environment with a strong learning atmosphere.
Today he still overfulfilled the task, he still had that signature smile on his face, and he still had those exaggerated compliments, but his heart was full of bitterness. These were all completed under his leadership, and the family now needs to
To reap the fruits of his labor, his heart is full of hatred.
Ding Yi returned home on time today. Although he did not make a big breakthrough in learning formations today, he made a lot of improvements in the use of tools. Puppet making is quite interesting. Although it is getting closer and closer to his dream.
Far, but maybe this is the real side of life. Maybe this is the life he should have.
Ding Zhaoding and Wu Shuhui were both at home. A small mountain of gold coins was piled on the bed. Ding Li was dumbfounded as he looked at these golden gold coins. Everything was so unreal. With their family's income, they had never had so many gold coins.
"Why are there so many?" Wu Shuhui murmured to herself. She pinched herself secretly. It hurt very much. Pain can sometimes be a kind of real happiness.
"Our family has become rich!" Ding Li grabbed a handful of gold coins and let them fall from his hands. The sound of the gold coins hitting each other was really beautiful.
Ding Yi's knock on the door frightened everyone in the room. Ding Li almost threw himself on the pile of money to cover up the gold coins.
Ding Yi entered the house and saw everyone looking nervous, so he also became nervous. When he saw such a big pile of gold coins on the bed in the master bedroom, he was also surprised. He had never seen such a big pile of gold coins before.
Jin Yuan, there is such a big pile in front of you now.
Ding Zhaoding pulled Ding Yi aside and said, "I only sold one thing, that short stick that looks like gold and wood. Do you know what that is? That's Jin Ke Mu. This is not the Five Elements Bagua Jin Ke Mu, but a stick that looks like gold and wood."
This fossil is buried deep underground and is associated with gold mines. It looks like gold but not gold, and looks like wood but not wood. It is an excellent material for cultivation. I sold it to Guangshan Tang. I didn’t expect it to be so valuable.
It’s just this one, how much do you think it sold for? Five hundred gold yuan. I don’t even dare to take out the rest.”
"That's what I think, Xiao Yi. Although you said that your friend in the cultivation world gave you gifts, you can't return these things, and the family is indeed short of money. I'm still very uneasy. Our family has no money.
After receiving such a great favor from someone, and the person is a cultivator, a being that we mortals dare not mess with, I think you should return these things. We don’t want this gold anymore.”
"I told you yesterday that I really don't dare to go to my ancestral home anymore. You also know that if he thinks it's a humiliation for me to send me back, I may not even be able to save my life. Anyway, everything has been changed into gold.
Maybe in our eyes this is a huge fortune, maybe to them it's just a small amount of pocket money, so just relax." Ding Yi comforted his father, thinking of Mu Yanran's car after car.
Gift, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Bah bang bang!" There was another knock on the door. This time it was Ding Yun who came back. Ding Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw Ding Li and his mother looking nervous. Everyone was also scared. Faced with this
When one bets on a windfall, everyone's instinct is to fear that someone else will take it from them again.
Ding Yun was surprised to find that his mother didn't cook today, and everyone in the family was acting weird. He pulled Ding Yi over and asked, "What's wrong today? Everyone is acting weird." Ding Yi moved toward the master bedroom.
Nodding his mouth, Ding Yun ran over to take a look, and immediately covered his mouth.
The Ding family is now the quietest family. They basically speak in a sub-bass voice to avoid being overheard by the neighbors. They also move very quietly, as if they are thieves.
"Mom, I'm hungry." Seeing that it was getting dark, and the family was still surrounding the pile of gold on the bed, Ding Yi protested.
Only then did everyone realize that dinner hadn’t been cooked yet.
"How about we call one
Let’s have some food and wine on the table and celebrate.” Wu Shuhui suggested.
"We must keep a low profile and don't let others know that our family is rich." Ding Zhaoding scolded, "As it was in the past, it will be the same now. We can't let it be revealed to the public." Ding Zhaoding looked around, and everyone lowered their heads in frustration.
"By the way, Manager Xu had some accounting problems today, so I promised him to help him make an advance payment, which may cost more than three hundred gold yuan." Ding Yi then remembered what happened at noon.
"How did he know that our family was rich? Did you tell him? What else did you tell him?" Ding Zhaoding became nervous.
Ding Yi told Ding Yi everything about what happened at noon, and then told Ding Zhaoding what he had said. Ding Zhaoding was still worried, and asked for a few more details before letting Ding Yi go with doubts.
"Bah, bang, bang," there was another knock on the door, and everyone in the room panicked.
"Who is it?" Wu Shuhui asked.
"Auntie, it's me, Yuan Zhen." Everyone in the room let out a long sigh.
The door was only opened a crack, and Wu Shuhui saw Yuan Zhen outside squinting into the room, "Azhen, do you have anything to do with Xiao Yi?" Wu Shuhui herself didn't even realize how strange she was today.
"It's okay, I just came here to play with him." Yuan Zhen said.
"Well, Ding Yi hasn't eaten yet. Wait until he has eaten and ask him to come find you, okay?" Wu Shuhui blocked the door and refused to let Yuan Zhen in.
Yuan Zhen could only say hello politely, turned around and left.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't do such strange things, and don't say such strange words." Ding Yi really couldn't stand the nervousness of this family.
"Why am I weird? Isn't it the same as usual?" Wu Shuhui said angrily.
"You are all too neurotic. Don't you realize it? Mom, do you usually block the door and prevent Yuan Zhen from coming in? Or do you still have the habit of not letting people in during meals? Stop being so neurotic. Today
Are you still eating? Are you sleeping? I'm scaring you with just this little money." Ding Yi was speechless, as his family members were still poor and ignorant people.
Ding Zhaoding also felt that everyone was too unnatural and a little suspicious, so he comforted everyone: "Don't be so nervous, everyone. Xiao Yi is right. What did everyone do when our family had no money? We should still be like that now. This
This is how I think about money. We still have a debt of about ten yuan in gold dollars, which must be paid off first. The remaining ten yuan will be left for the boss to pay for going to school, and another four hundred yuan will be given to Ding Yi.
Boss, I’m giving thirty yuan to the child’s uncle, leaving two yuan for the family, and saving the rest. Let’s do it like this. Boss, now your brother has helped you raise all the money for your studies. In the past two years,
You have to study hard and don't have to work outside. You've got the ugly talk ahead of you. If you can't get into college, don't blame your father for being ruthless."
"It's okay if you just talk nicely, why are you trying to scare the children?" Wu Shuhui complained dissatisfied.
"Bah bang bang" there was another knock on the door, and the family members were obviously nervous again.
"Who is it?" Wu Shuhui asked.
"Excuse me, Ding Yi, does Little Brother Ding live here?" A strange voice came from outside the door.
Wu Shuhui has never seen this person before. He is a handsome young man with rich clothes. The key is that he carries a sword with him. In this country with very clear class divisions, swords are only a privilege enjoyed by cultivators.
.Civilians can only carry swords with them, and the sword has almost become a symbol of cultivators.
This is a cultivator! Wu Shuhui suddenly felt her mouth was a little dry: "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Does little brother Ding Yi live here?" The young man asked again.
"This is Brother Lanxuan. Hello, Brother Lanxuan. May I ask why you are here? Do you have a problem with me?" Ding Yi had already seen the person coming from outside through the crack in the door.
The person who came was actually Lan Xuan, which was really beyond Ding Yi's expectation.
Wu Shuhui opened the door tremblingly and looked back at Ding Zhaoding. Ding Zhaoding's face was also pale. Could it be that this cultivator wanted to ask for the return gift that Ding Yi brought back yesterday? Ding Zhaoding secretly blamed himself for not listening to Ding Yi's words.
How can a ten-year-old child understand these worldly things? Could it be that the tragedy of more than thirty years ago was going to happen again? Ding Zhaoding became afraid.
"you
Just stay at home, come on, come with me to the Supreme Temple." Lan Xuan said lazily.
"My lord, may I ask what happened to Quan Zi? Your lord wants to take him to the Supreme Temple." Ding Zhaoding asked.
In fact, this was the first time he heard the place name "Supreme Temple". He lives in Jiyun City and has never heard of the place name "Supreme Temple" near Qingyun Mountain. However, the other party is a cultivator and the magical power of a cultivator.
That's not something he can speculate on.
"Oh, Nong Li from Qingyun Mountain is hosting a banquet for us. Miss Yanran specially asked me to bring Ding Yi's little brother there. Don't worry, he is invited to the banquet. Nothing will happen." Lan Xuan reminded kindly, she could tell that this family
Ziren was very frightened by his arrival.
"Did Sister Yanran invite me to go?" Ding Yi was overjoyed. He originally thought he would never see her again after last night, but he didn't expect that Miss Yanran was still thinking about him.
Ding Zhaoding grabbed Ding Yi who was about to go out. Although he did not dare to ask Ding Yi not to go, Ding Zhaoding was still very uneasy seeing Ding Yi going out so hastily.
"Xiao Yi, you must be obedient when you go over there and don't act rashly. You must obey Mr. Lan in everything. Do you hear it clearly?" Ding Zhaoding warned in a low voice.
"Yes, I understand." Ding Yi agreed and glanced at Qiqi Aiai's mother. Ding Yi walked up to Wu Shuhui and grabbed Wu Shuhui's hand: "Mom, don't worry, Miss Yanran and Brother Lan Xuan are both very good.
People, it’s okay. I’ll bring you something delicious when I come back.”
Wu Shuhui held Ding Yi's hand tightly, not wanting to let go and not daring to hold it again. She just pursed her lips to hold back her tears and kept nodding.
Walking out gracefully, Ding Yi seemed to have remembered something: "Brother Lan Xuan, please wait a moment for me. I'll go in and change clothes." Wu Shuhui quickly followed Ding Yi into the back room.
"My lord, why don't you go to the humble residence first and stop for a drink of water?" Ding Zhaoding asked humbly.
"No need, I'll wait for him here." Lan Xuan said.
Ding Zhaoding quickly said yes, but did not dare to leave. He also stood outside the house, neither sitting nor speaking, and could only stand with him.
"Your son is not bad. If you train him well, he might skyrocket in the future." Lan Xuan said.
"Your Majesty, this is complimenting him. In fact, he is very naughty. He is just naughty and has caused a lot of trouble for you. I hope you will forgive him for his young age and ignorance." Ding Zhaoding said politely.
Lan Xuan nodded noncommittally, and Ding Zhaoding felt as uneasy as a deer.
Of course, Ding Yi was wearing the shiny golden uniform that Duoduo bought for him. This relatively avant-garde outfit, some of the bright accessories on the clothes, the exaggerated copper buttons, belts, and too bright colors all made Lan
Xuan laughed heartily.
Ding Yi looked at Lan Xuan awkwardly.
"Is this your new clothes?" Lan Xuan almost laughed out of breath.
Ding Yi turned around and wanted to change his clothes again, but Lan Xuan stopped him and said, "Just wear this, hahaha." Ding Zhaoding, Wu Shuhui, Ding Yun, and Ding Li were also embarrassed.
"Brother Lan Xuan, if you laugh at me again, I won't go." Ding Yi said depressedly. Ding Zhaoding's heart was in his throat. This little brat still dares to argue with the cultivator. Doesn't he want to live? Who knows?
When she saw Lan Xuan, she apologized and said, "Okay, okay, I just won't laugh."
"Brother Lan Xuan, where is your carriage?" Ding Yi walked up to Lan Xuan and asked. Ding Yi saw many expensive carriages in Mu Yuan, and guessed that Lan Xuan should also have one.
Lan Xuan said defiantly: "I'm sorry, I can only take you on a ride." Ding Yi waved goodbye to the family behind him and followed Lan Xuan towards the entrance of the alley. He saw Yuan Zhen leaning against the crack of the door of his house.
Looking at him with envy...
"Brother Lan Xuan, how did you find my house?" Ding Yi and Lan Xuan got on a hitchhiker, and just as they sat down, they suddenly remembered this incident.
"Hmph, isn't it easy to find you? Have you ever heard of the magic of Heaven Listening and Earth Seeing?" Lan Xuan asked in return.
Ding Yi shook his head, and Lan Xuan boasted that his skill from 10% to 100%. In fact, Mu Yanran asked him to take Ding Yi to the banquet. He himself did not have the ability to find Ding Yi, but he still had
Chapter completed!
