Su Ying nodded nonchalantly. “Right. 1’11 wait for you to eat dog shit… 1 mean, I’ll wait for you to return successfully.”
Qiao Yang’s fighting spirit was inflamed. Roar!
Before leaving, Su Ying went to check on Tiger Might’s condition. She put a heart rate monitor bracelet on his wrist so that she would know firsthand if there was anything wrong with his heart rate.
“Your brother’s injuries are more serious. After he wakes up, feed him the medicine I leave behind. 1 will leave a few bottles of medicine. Don’t let him eat anything for the next three days. If he’s hungry, feed him the medicine. Understand?”
Qiao Yang nodded. “Understood. I’ve noted everything down.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After making sure that everything was fine for now, Su Ying left.
When Su Ying returned home, Cheng Ming had already taken Number One and the others to work in the fields. Uncle Hea had taken Lin Zhuyu to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables and ragweed to feed the pigs. Jiang Yang had also followed them to gather firewood. Only Xiao Jin and a few others were left at home.
“Su Ying, Su Ying, you’re back. Can you play with me?”
As soon as Su Ying entered the courtyard, Xue Zhen ran over to her excitedly.
Su Ying was already prepared. She took out a palm-sized robot and pressed a button.
Very quickly, the robot started moving.
Xue Zhen was astounded. He hid behind Su Ying in excitement and fear, yet he couldn’t help sticking his head out to look out of curiosity.
“Su Ying, what… what is this? How come it is moving?”
Su Ying picked up the robot and said, “This is called a robot. Take a look. Can you use wood to make a moving wooden puppet like this?”
Xue Zhen looked at the robot and frowned. “I… I don’t know.”
Su Ying placed the robot in his hands, along with a book called “Ancient Divination Methodology.” “You can read. If you don’t understand, you can read this book and slowly study it.” This book was given to her by her battle comrade, but she wasn’t very interested in such things, so she had left it in her interspatial store all this while.
Xue Zhen took the book and flipped through a few pages. After reading the contents, he widened his eyes in excitement. “This is good, this is good.” He grabbed the robot, turned around, and ran back to his room.
Upon seeing this, Su Ying returned to the main house.
She entered the house but didn’t see the children. “Where are the children?”
“They are studying with Chu Yun on the second floor,” Xiao Jin said.
Su Ying nodded and sat down on the chair. “Tiger Might was seriously injured. He was in a critical condition, but I managed to save him.”
Xiao Jin’s expression froze slightly. Although he had never fought against Tiger Might, he had seen it when Su Ying fought him. Although Tiger Might didn’t beat Su Ying, this didn’t mean that he was weak. Someone who could seriously injure Tiger Might was definitely not weak in martial arts.
“Who was it?”
“They’re from the Azure Dragon Base.”
“What is that place?”
“Qiao Yang said that the Azure Dragon Base was established earlier than the Tiger Base and is more powerful. They had some conflicts with Tiger Base before, but with Tiger Might standing guard here, there wasn’t any major clash. However, this time, they actually attacked Tiger Might and robbed us of our seeds.”
Xiao Jin’s dark eyes clouded over. “Is there a possibility that they know the Venom Cult has been exterminated, so they now have the guts to challenge us?”
It was normal for people to fear the Venom Cult’s malicious method of using venomous bugs. Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin’s conjecture was a possibility.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes. “Their action this time was probably a provocative test. If we don’t retaliate, the other party will only get emboldened.”
These words immediately put Xiao Jin on the alert. “You want to go to the Azure Dragon Base?”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. “Did I say that?”
Xiao Jin looked at her with his deep, dark eyes.
“Don’t act rashly before you have a clear understanding of the Azure Dragon Base’s situation.”
Su Ying nodded. She wasn’t a brainless, reckless person. “I know.”
Su Ying stood up and squatted down in front of Xiao Jin. “Let me take a look at your legs.”
She pulled up his pant legs and took out a silver needle to insert into the acupoint on his leg.
As soon as the silver needle was inserted, Xiao Jin’s calf twitched violently, and his muscles had an obvious reaction.
“It seems that your nerves are recovering very well, and the nerve reflexes are already very sensitive. Soon, you can try to stand up and undergo rehabilitation therapy.”
A ray of hope flashed in Xiao Jin’s eyes briefly. “I can… stand up very soon?”
Su Ying nodded. “That’s right.”
Su Ying removed the silver needle and sat back down.
“Do you have any plans for the future?” Su Ying suddenly asked.
Xiao Jin’s expression stiffened slightly. He naturally had plans, but there was no need to reveal them now.
“What are your thoughts?”
Su Ying frown slightly when she saw that Xiao Jin avoided the question. Could it be that this rascal still wanted to kill his way back to the Imperial City? If that were the case, she wouldn’t be able to leave for a while.
“I don’t have any.”
Xiao Jin knew that Su Ying was lying. She was hiding something from him, so he lured her out patiently. “Su Ying, you can tell me what you’re thinking. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
Su Ying shook her head firmly, indicating that she didn’t have any thoughts.
This made Xiao Jin’s heart sink slightly. He changed the topic and said casually, “If you want to leave, then let me know earlier. When you leave, do not let the children know, lest they feel sad.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t be leaving for a while.”
Xiao Jin’s dark eyes sank. He had lured her real thoughts out! She really wanted to leave!
Xiao Jin wanted badly to ask her where she wanted to go. Was she going to look for Xiao J ue?
However, he knew that she was no longer the Su Ying she used to be, so why would she still be hankering after Xiao Jue?
As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, she realized that she had committed a slip of the tongue. She glared at Xiao Jin somewhat angrily. “How can a gentleman be so scheming? I’m going to check on the children.”
Xiao Jin clenched his fists as he watched Su Ying leave. “Since you have come here, how can I let you leave so easily?” he thought.
Su Ying had just walked out when she saw the two little ones staring at her with their big, doe-like eyes.
“Mother, where are you going?” The younger toddler Ling’s soft, tremulous voice sounded like she was about to cry.
The older toddler Ji pursed his lips stubbornly, but his eyes were red-rimmed. They had overheard her when they were outside just now. Mother said that she wanted to leave. She didn’t want them anymore. “Mother, did 1 do something wrong? Does Mother not like us anymore?”
Su Ying was even more furious now. That damned Xiao Jin tricked her and made the two children upset. She did not plan to leave so soon anyway. After all, the children were still young and did not have much self-protection ability. She could not bear to leave now.
When they saw that Su Ying didn’t say anything, the two little fellows were even more certain of what they had just heard.
The younger toddler Ling lunged forward and hugged Su Ying’s leg. She then burst into tears. “Mother, don’t you want your baby anymore? I don’t want Mother to leave.”
Big teardrops also rolled down from the older toddler Ji’s big eyes. Every teardrop was like candle wax dripping on Su Ying’s heart, scalding her to the point of suffocation.
“My good babies, don’t cry. Mother isn’t leaving. Your father is just asking me if I’m going somewhere else to get something.” Su Ying tried desperately to explain.
However, the two little ones were certain that Su Ying didn’t want them anymore and cried even harder.
Su Ying had no choice but to carry them into the room. She glared at Xiao Jin and said, “Look at what you’ve done. Hurry up and explain it to them.”
However, Xiao Jin raised his dark eyes and looked at her gravely. “Are you saying that you were lying just now?”
Su Ying gritted her teeth.. She didn’t like to lie, but in the face of two little ones who were crying so uncontrollably, she had no choice but to say, “Yes, I was just talking nonsense!”
