"Hey, this is peppercorns?"

When going down the mountain, Chu Ning accidentally found a clump of pepper trees, which were not yet ripe and were green, but cooking was enough to enhance the taste.

However, the ancients did not seem to have discovered that peppercorns could be used for cooking, and they were generally used to make sachets.

"It's a terrible thing, tonight, I'm blessed!" Chu Ning went up and carefully picked more than a dozen peppercorns, almost, one day he was free to come up alone and transplant the pepper tree into the space.

……

The two went down the mountain, and Chu Ning, who was in a good mood, met an uninvited guest.

Zhang Xuewen came back from Majia Village, and happened to meet Chu Ning on the way home, he was dressed in white, his face was delicate, and he had the smell of books.

"Chu Ning!"

Zhang Xuewen subconsciously shouted these two words.

Since the last time he met Chu Ning, in the past few days, he has gone crazy, just because of Chu Ning's two questions, he has been thinking and meditating, not thinking about tea and dinner, and he can't find the right answer.

It's just that last time he was in a hurry to go to the school, so he couldn't pull Chu Ning to get to the bottom of it, plus his pride, he had to solve the problem himself, but after so many days, he still couldn't find the answer, as the only child in Qinghe Village, and the most valued student of Liu Fuzi in Majia Village, his pride was hit hard by Chu Ning.

finally took a day off, even if he didn't meet Chu Ning, he had to go to Chu's house to find Chu Ning in person and ask for the correct answer.

"Uncle Ma, what's wrong?"

Chu Ning said lazily, since the other party talked to him, she would not ignore the other party, but from the bottom of her bones, Chu Ning looked down on Zhang Xuewen, he could climb high branches and withdraw from the marriage, but as for saying such vicious words to force the original Chu Ning to death?

Zhang Xuewen heard the word aunt of the Ma family, and his face turned red completely, since he was accepted as an aunt by the Ma family, Zhang Xuewen felt good at first, after all, the Ma family is a landlord, and marrying Miss Ma is a big help for himself.

But the fact is that the son-in-law in this era is very despised by others, and Zhang Xuewen has received a lot of ridicule in the school.

This incident was not his pride, but became his shame.

In the face of Chu Ning's ridicule, he couldn't argue a word, he swallowed the humiliation in his heart deeply, after all, it didn't matter, he wanted to know the answer that had made him crazy in the past two days, Zhang Xuewen said loudly: "Chu Ning, that day, two questions, you tell me the answer!" ”

Chu Ning pursed his lips disdainfully, "Zhang Xuewen, you're not sick, am I your master?" Why should I tell you! ”

Chu Ning raised his chin, "In the past few days, you must have been thinking hard and meditating and couldn't find the answer, right?" Haha, you should be glad I'm not an examiner, otherwise, you nerd who is a dead reader won't want to pass the exam in this life! ”

Zhang Xuewen muttered and couldn't say a word.

He found that Chu Ning had changed, he had become sharp-toothed, and Chu Ning in the past would only bow his head timidly, and he didn't dare to say a word when he lowered his head in a crowded place.

Although, although Chu Ning is still the same Chu Ning, Zhang Xuewen suddenly felt that Chu Ning was not as ugly as before,

Especially her bright eyes, staring at herself slyly, there is a strange and charming feeling.

He suddenly regretted it a little, regretted finding Chu Ning to withdraw from the marriage and climb the Ma family.

At this moment, he heard Chu Ning say, "However, if you are willing to pay, I can also sell you the answer!" ”

"Okay, I'll pay!" Zhang Xuewen groped in his pocket for a long time, he usually didn't use any money, the Zhang family didn't have much money, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were also given by the master, and a total of more than a dozen copper plates were found.

Zhang Xuewen was quite embarrassed and whispered, "Chu Ning, is it enough?" ”

"Forget it, forget it, it's better than nothing!"

Chu Ning also knew that he couldn't have too much money, and it would be good to be able to collect a dozen copper plates, so she took the copper plates, just in time to buy eggs to improve the food.

"Listen clearly, the first question, one day, you were on the road at night, there was a fork in the road, there was a way to live, a road to death, there were two road guards on the road, one only told the truth, the other only told lies, you can only ask one of them a question, so, how do you find a way to live?"

"Right!"

Zhang Xuewen nodded excitedly, he was going crazy, he could read this question with his eyes closed, but he didn't know the answer.
