Xiaoxiao had just pushed open the door when she was almost knocked down by these two fellows. She immediately wanted to push them away angrily, but she had fed this dog and rabbit too well and their weights were shocking. She could only threaten, “I’ve recently researched two new dishes, dog meat hotpot and charcoal-roasted rabbit lips. Do you want to try them?”
The rabbit and dog duo immediately moved to the side obediently, like soldiers welcoming the Queen’s return.
Ning Anhui was amused by them. “As expected of my younger sister’s pets.
They actually seem to understand human nature.
He didn’t mean it. After saying that, he yawned and returned to his room. However, Xiaoxiao squatted in front of Walnut and Scarf and started to think seriously.
In the past, she did not notice it when she saw them every day. This time, after being separated for a few days, she suddenly realized that the two of them seemed to be very different from their kind. Other than their size, their expressions were more alert and their reactions to language were quite sharp.
She held out her hand. “Give me your paws.”
Walnut obediently raised his front foot and placed it in Xiaoxiao’s palm. Scarf also stood nimbly on its two hind legs and pressed its front claws on Walnut’s claws.
Xiaoxiao ordered again, “Roll.”
The rabbit and dog obediently did as they were told. Xiaoxiao added, “Roll three
rounds.”
Very good, one round was not less.
Xiaoxiao tried to give a harder order. “Walnut, bring me the bamboo basket.
Scarf, help me get the bamboo shoot.”
They actually completed it without any mistakes’.
Scarf and Walnut could be said to have grown up eating space produce. She often let the two of them play in space. Would they undergo any magical changes because of this?
After asking, the space explained: [Master, Master, after being nourished by the space, the intelligence level of these two ingredients is much higher than their own kind. They now have the intelligence of ordinary human children when they were seven or eight years old’.]
Oh, this was a pleasant surprise. Let her think about how to use space well.
Xiaoxiao asked: [Then are the cattle, sheep, and pigs that my ranch raises geniuses?]
The space denied it: [No, they’re just ordinary ingredients. From exchange to slaughter, all the data is stable. There won’t be any changes.]
In other words, only animals brought in from outside could produce such a change?
The happiest thing in the space was that Master praised it for being capable. The electronic voice did not stop for the entire afternoon and kept reporting the changes after the upgrade to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao had slept enough in the carriage and was not sleepy for the time being. She could only patiently listen to it present its treasures. However, when she heard this, she realized that many things had been updated in the Space Mall that she had not paid attention to for a long time. Not to mention anything else, Xiaoxiao was a little tempted when she saw the label on the “Books” column. [The font can be customized.]
After trying to customize it according to the requirements of Great Xia’s handwritten calligraphy, an ancient mathematics book that looked identical to the one in the bookstore appeared in Xiaoxiao’s hand. She chuckled and used it to torture, nope, benefit her second brother.
Ning Anhui’s studies were definitely not a proactive process. Initially, he could still rely on his sister’s busy schedule to slack off. However, his sister actually “found” the book that she had mentioned in the past. The heavens really wanted him dead!
Xiaoxiao, who had completed her preaching, was in a good mood. She skipped back to the courtyard and saw Yun San’s overly serious face.
“Miss, this is a letter from Master to you.”
Xiaoxiao opened the envelope and asked, “What happened?”
Yun San said solemnly, “Master went to the border. His Majesty asked him to lead the troops to fight the Xiongnu.”
The word “war” made people unhappy no matter what. Xiaoxiao read the letter quickly. Other than not being able to fulfill her promise to bring his elders to see her, Rong Yan also mentioned that he would go to the border and wouldn’t be able to come back for a while.
He glossed over the dangers and only told her that it was not the most difficult time for outsiders yet, so the other party would not be ruthless, so she did not have to worry.
However, Xiaoxiao frowned. Generally speaking, those outsiders would only take the risk to start a war when they could not afford to eat or live. However, it was only summer now…
Either they had encountered some natural disaster or their wild ambitions were premeditated.
She asked Yun San, “Has anything major happened to the Xiongnu recently? For example, drought, floods, plague, famine, or major changes in the clan.”
As Rong Yan’s personal guard, Yun San knew this very well. “No.- After some thought, he said, “Two years ago, the Xiongnu Khan suddenly died of an acute illness and the second prince took over. Does this count?”
Why not? Xiaoxiao folded the letter and put it away.
“If I’m not wrong, has the Xiongnu been especially well-behaved in the past two years?”
Xiaoxiao’s heart sank when Yun San said yes.
It was impossible for Little Big Brother not to think of the problems she could think of. He just didn’t want her to worry and deliberately hid it and didn’t mention it. The Xiongnu had been dormant for two years. This battle was definitely not simple.
After changing a few more books that were suitable for Big Brother in the Space Mall, Xiaoxiao couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night. She only went to sleep lightly when it was close to dawn. It was rare for her family to wake up earlier than her. Everyone’s heart ached for her, so no one disturbed her. Hence, when Xiaoxiao woke up, her parents went to the ground and her brothers also went to the county. They only left a note for her on the table and kept breakfast warm in the kitchen.
Xiaoxiao knew that she couldn’t be anxious about the border, but she definitely couldn’t settle down today. She might as well stay at home and calm down. As a farm girl, the original host didn’t know much about anything beyond Fortune Village, so she didn’t leave any relevant memories for Xiaoxiao. It was impossible to count on Ning Fengnian, his wife, and those villagers. Hence, she still had to look for County Magistrate Shen.
It was not good to ask for advice empty-handed. To Xiaoxiao, the best way to stabilize her emotions was to cook delicacies. Hence, she locked the door and rushed into the kitchen.
Yun San, who was guarding the courtyard, watered the flowers with his much more agile left hand. As he watered them, the fragrance began to enter his nostrils. At this moment, he felt a little regretful and glad.
It was a pity that he could not follow Master into battle to kill the enemy and protect him. He was glad that he could eat Miss Ning’s cooking every day. At the thought of this, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
Hence, when Xiaoxiao asked him, “Do you have a way to send things to your master?”
Yun San thought hard. “If it was any other time, we could have found a caravan or an escort company if the price was higher. However, the war is about to start. After all, it’s at the border. I’m afraid no matter how much money we pay, no one will be willing to take on this business.
“But if it’s an emergency, I can gather my brothers to send them.
It was overkill to let the guards be couriers. There was no need to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Xiaoxiao shook her head and took out the “Great Xia Records” that she had borrowed from her brother. She started to flip through them.
The Great Xia Records was a relatively common book. It recorded some local customs of the Great Xia and foreign races. Xiaoxiao did not read this because she was bored, but to find useful information through the records in the book.
The border was bitterly cold and the soil was barren. The closer they were to the foreign races, the scarcer the rations.
The place Little Big Brother Ah Yan went to lacked water, food, and money. He lacked everything. He relied on the Imperial Court to send troops to escort him. However, vegetables and fruits were not suitable to be preserved, and it was impossible for him to fill his stomach.
Xiaoxiao felt a little uneasy and it was very difficult for her to read. At this moment, a guest came to visit..
