"Give me a bottle of aphrodisiac. ”

Jiang Ning took this bottle of strong pill and paid five medium-grade yuan stones and a few money tickets.

The money ticket is issued by some top forces, it is equivalent to the combination of Jiaozi and banknotes, and has a better reputation than Jiaozi, but because there are anti-counterfeiting runes on it, the cost is high, and it is not suitable for small transactions, so the circulation is far less than the banknotes of Jiangning's previous life.

But they can be seen as a type of hard currency.

As for Yuanshi, not to mention.

Jiang Ning left Guibao Street and joined Li Meng in front, and Li Meng handed him a small bag containing resources such as Zhenxin Pill, Wanlan Xiang, and Evil Removal Pill to assist in cultivation or rush through the level.

The main reason is that Jiang Ning doesn't have much money in his hands, so he has to replace it with yuan stones, but if people find out that he has taken out too many yuan stones, some people will be suspicious.

So Jiang Ning called Li Meng over, and the two separated, first exchanging a small amount of yuan stone for money tickets, and then half of the money tickets and half yuan stones, buying a large number of resources that Jiang Ning needed, so that people would not notice.

"Brother, are you going to rush the level?"

"You're in the middle of the congenital stage, can I still stop rushing the level?"

"It's different. Li Meng said.

Half-step innate and innate are the two most basic levels, and they are also the two most important levels for monks. Many people have poor talents, and they are often stuck in these two levels, such as Jiang Ning in the past, of course, Jiang Ning is not poor in talent, but there are many people similar to Jiang Ning, and this level is more difficult in the first place, such as the previous Dao Hanqing, as well as the Jiang family, and now the Dao Hanfeng and other children of the Dao family, there is no chance, there is no majestic Yuan Force, it seems to be a step innate, but it seems to be close to the end of the world.

Li Meng was very smooth, from half-step congenital to breakthrough congenital, it also took a year and a half of Chenguang.

Breaking through the innate and until the Xuanyuan level, although the two levels of Chongqi Sea and Extension Pulse are somewhat difficult, the relative difficulty is not too high, generally as long as you practice diligently, your cultivation will naturally grow, and it is the difference between fast and slow growth.

Jiang Ning prevaricated: "What's different, I have been cultivating for much longer than you, it's just that something goes wrong, and my cultivation is stuck, and once it's solved, it will grow faster." Of course, after a while, this speed will naturally decrease. ”

What will happen in the future, Jiang Ning doesn't know, just don't come down, and Jiang Ning will also leave Licheng at that time.

"I'm just asking......"

The two found a restaurant, had dinner casually, and walked back.

It's getting dark.

"Jia'er, why are you sitting here?" Jiang Ning asked.

The little maid bought by Dao Hanqing was sitting at the door regardless of the cold weather.

"The mistress rested. ”

"Why are you sitting here, aren't you cold?"

"It's a little cold...... Homesick. ”

Jiang Ning and Li Meng were speechless, there were seven adults in Licheng to keep food and clothing, at least barely starving to death and freezing to death, but there were still many people living on the poverty line, and some had no choice but to sell their sons and daughters.

These sold children, as well as prisoners of war captured during the war and their families, were the main members of the slaves and slaves.

Once you become a slave and a slave, you are no longer human.

Their parents also know, but what to do is better than the whole family freezing to death and starving to death.

Just like Jia'er, looking at Jiang from Jiang Ning's world, Jiang has many thoughts that are wrong, but he can't hold the thoughts of his previous life. Compared with other families, the Jiang family is very good, and at least he has not abused Jia'er.

It's all like this, let Jiang Ning say anything?

"I don't know if my mother is cold?"

It turned out to be this, and this is easy to solve.

"Your home is not far from here?"

"More than four miles. ”

Sili Duolu ...... Exactly where is the slum.

"You come with me. ”

Jiang Ning took Jia'er to the cave at the back and took out some leather mattresses and jackets from the room.

The cold winter in the northwest is very cold, and most people are not afraid. Just like Licheng County, pulled into a straight line, the maximum length from east to west can reach more than 1,300 li, and the north and south can reach 1,100 li, which is an amazing area, and in the previous life of Jiangning, it was more than seventy or eighty percent of the country's area.

But half of the population is nested in the city of Licheng, and even this city has half an empty place. Then there is the suburbs near the city wall, which are a little denser, less than a hundred miles away, and it is a sparsely populated place. There are fewer people, and there are more beasts and beasts, plus this is a world where martial arts are respected, so there is no shortage of fur products, and they are not expensive, and ordinary people have no shortage of things to protect them from the cold.

But some people are so poor that they can't even afford these fur products, even if they are inferior fur products. In order to survive the winter, they have to pick a lot of reed wool in the fall, or a kind of velvet grass called warm grass...... Why is it called warm grass, in many areas of the north there is a lack of large areas of water, and there is no reed to pick, so it has to be replaced by this kind of velvet grass, in the eyes of many poor people, it means that it can be warm in the cold winter.

Then use reed wool and warm grass as the inner core of the jacket, as for the cold effect, it is not warm to the common people, Jiang Ning was sent to Daojiabao by the Dao family but tried its taste fiercely.

But it is this kind of reed mattress that also made a subordinate of the Dao family find an excuse to tear the flocculent, and when the cold wind blows, they are all raised, and all the reeds are blown away together, fortunately, Jiang Ning is clever, no matter how the subordinates of Daojiabao treat him, he greets him with a smile, or takes the initiative to admit his mistakes, these subordinates cannot be regarded as good people, but they are not demons, and there is no fatal black hand.

The people of the Dao family also underestimated Jiang Ning and treated him as a child, in fact, in the autumn, Jiang Ning was calculating, and he was bold again, quietly killed the three sheep of the Dao family, dried them, and secretly hid them in a small cave and blocked them with stones.

When winter comes, he also has to do things, braving the cold to go out to chop wood. So with the help of these opportunities, the mutton was roasted and eaten to supplement some nutrients. After the reed mattress was torn, Jiang Ning cut the sheepskin into small pieces and made it dirty, as if it had been picked up from the garbage heap, and stuffed it into the mattress, which was the only way to survive the harsh winter. Of course, these are not treated sheepskins...... After a while, the smell is called unpleasant.

But he survived that winter, in fact, the City Lord's Mansion does not recruit bookbooks, and he is also secretly inquiring about the news, preparing to escape from Daojiabao in the coming year, how difficult it is, but there is still a way to survive, otherwise it will be a dead end if he continues to stay in Daojiabao.

Jiang Ning was a little better, only survived one winter, Aunt Li's mother and daughter were even more miserable, they survived several winters, one winter, Li Meng had a severe frostbite on his leg, a lot of meat was rotten, and until now, there is a big scar.

Both thought about the past.

Jiang Ning sighed slightly, took out the remaining three hundred-ring coin tickets from his arms, and handed them to Jia'er: "It's not dark yet, it just so happens that my stepmother is resting, you take them home and give them to your family." ”

Jia'er left happily.

"This little maid has a heart, she sees that her brother has a good heart, and she is deliberately waiting for her brother to come back......"

"Haha, Xiaomeng, I deliberately asked Brother Qing to buy a clever little maid. ”

Jiang is no longer the Jiang family who is rumored to be virtuous and preachy, Jiang Ning can understand that people will change, some will become better, some will become bad, maybe they will change in the future.

Jiang Ning can understand the difference between relatives and relatives, but since she is different from relatives, Jiang Ning does not really regard her as a stepmother. However, for the sake of Dao Hanqing's face, what should be taken care of is still to be taken care of.

It's just that Jiang Ning suddenly thought of when he went to Beichuan Fort a few days ago, Dao Hanqing was talking in a hurry.

What happened again?

Dao Hanqing didn't say anything, and Jiang Ning didn't ask.

Jiang Ning is the elder brother, and it is impossible to take care of everything. can only say that he is a child of the Jiang family, and he is a human being in two lives, and he has even seen two worlds, and the human race in his previous life was not so powerful, but in an era of information explosion, he is better than Dao Hanqing in terms of experience.

"I like this cleverness, and I like this filial piety even more. The same means, with different ends, are of different nature. Don't think about the worst in everything...... Let's cultivate. ”

The two of them each went to a secret room.

Jiang Ning lit the oil lamp first, and then lit the firewood in the fireplace. He is now half-step congenital, and he will not be afraid of the cold as before, but the long night is long, and he will not be able to bear it if he sits down all night. In fact, even when Li Meng reached the middle congenital stage, he also had to use the firewood in the fireplace to keep warm.

Jiang Ning took out the bucket hidden in the corner and leaned it against the stone wall of the fireplace. The main spiritual power is not enough, as long as you break through the innate and cultivate the forging nerves, you will probably be able to put the Mu bucket into the ring.

He took out the Yuan Stone again, and this time, all the Yuan Stones he took out were the best Yuan Stones, so as to make the aura in the secret room more dense.

Only then did Jiang Ning sit cross-legged on the spirit gathering plate, running the Nine Turns Divine Skill. After a while, he stood up again and lifted the already warmed bucket to the middle of the Juyuan plate.

The reason why he started to rush through the customs so quickly is not only the credit of Juyuanpan, but also the usage of Jiang Ning is also a serious waste. Of course, the merits of the Gathering Spirit Plate are not small, but the merits of these spiritual blood and Yuan Blood Quenching Skill cannot be ignored.

This is rushing to the level, impacting the innate level, and there are no elders to take care of it on the side, at this moment, Jiang Ning is extremely cautious.
