Chapter 03 Mission
When Nie Kong returned home, Hua Mei was busy again, and the sound of carving knives cutting through wooden blocks sounded in the courtyard. In addition to the semi-finished product in her hand, there are also four humanoid wood carvings in front of Hua Mei, all of which are beginning to take shape, and Hua Mei seems to have deliberately left the final steps together.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard and watching quietly for a while, Nie Kong walked in and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I bought you something to come back." ”
"Huh?"
Buy me something? Hua Mei didn't react for a while, and looked up at Nie Kong in a daze after stopping. It wasn't until he walked up to him that Hua Mei suddenly woke up, wanted to get up and took the two cloth bags in Nie Kong's hand, and asked suspiciously, "Uncle, what did you buy?"
"Don't get up yet. ”
Nie Kong said as he put his hand into a cloth bag, and then took out a beautifully made jade hairpin with a whole body and shook it in front of Hua Mei's eyes, "Do you like it?"
"Jade hairpin?"
Huamei didn't expect that what Nie Kong bought for herself was a jade hairpin, her face flushed for a while, she kept shaking her little hand, and refused, "Uncle, I have a hairpin." ”
Nie Kong smiled dumbly: "Your wooden hairpin has already been broken once, it should have been thrown away a long time ago, or replaced with a new one." Come on, I'll plug it in for you. ”
Seeing Nie Kong's body leaning towards him, Hua Mei was even more embarrassed: "Don't, don't...... Ah, uncle, I'll come by myself, I'll ......" Before the words were finished, Nie Kong couldn't help but pull out the wooden hairpin from her hair and replaced it with the jade hairpin that was shining blue.
Nie Kong took a few steps back, looked at Hua Mei, and quickly nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good-looking, I'm still worried that this jade hairpin is not suitable for you, and now it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary." ”
Opposite him, Hua Mei was like a frightened deer, and hurriedly jumped up, her face was so red and so ashamed that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Nie Kong had long been accustomed to Huamei's shyness, and with a slight smile, he stuffed the two cloth bags into her arms. One bag was full of clothes, and the other was bits and pieces like wooden combs.
With the memory in his mind and the understanding of these days, Nie Kong found that in the past three years, Huamei had almost never bought anything for herself, and all the clothes were prepared when she got married.
Since Nie Kong had gone out, he simply took advantage of the time he was wandering around the city center to set up a store for Hua Mei, and did not stop until he spent all the gold coins he had brought in his pocket. This is still the jade of the Heavenly Spirit Continent is not as expensive as on the earth, otherwise those gold coins can't even afford hairpins.
Nie Kong said softly: "Sister-in-law, now that I no longer need to buy medicine to cure my illness, you can't treat yourself too badly like before in the future." ”
"Hmm. ”
Hua Mei peeked at the cloth bag and saw that there were even underwear in the cloth bag, her cheeks were red, hot as fire, her head was drooping lower and lower, and her chin was about to touch the upturned Yufeng on her chest, and there was only one voice in her heart that kept ringing: "How can Uncle buy me these?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to practice first, don't wait for me for lunch, I just ate outside. ”
"Hmm. ”
Hua Mei's voice was like a gnat, and she subconsciously responded, not even noticing when Nie Kong left.
I don't know how long it took for Hua Mei's messy mood to calm down, she opened the two bags in turn and looked at them, and then raised her hand to touch the jade hairpin on her head, her heart was inexplicably sweet and a little sour, and two hazy mist floated in her eyes unconsciously......

Southeast of the drill ground.
"Boom!"
In front of the spinning top, Nie Kong mobilized every part of his body, his feet quickly staggered back and forth, left and right, and his arms sometimes poked out quickly, pointing at the iron pillar in the center of the top, and then immediately retracted, and the crisp sound of collision with rhythm drifted away with the wind.
Since watching Mu Hongyan's demonstration the day before yesterday, he has been practicing hard against the top for the past two days. In general, Nie Kong's progress is still good, and he will only be caught by an iron bar once after a dozen shots. Of course, this is still far from Mu Hongyan's realm of "being like a spring".
You can't be fat in one go. Nie Kong was still quite satisfied with himself, at least in terms of speed and physical reaction, it was almost a notch higher than the day before yesterday.
"Bang!......"
"Click!"
Half of his right palm was clamped, Nie Kong's left palm slapped to the top of the iron pillar, pulled out his right hand and shook it a few times, and continued to move, with crisp sounds one after another.
When he practiced himself until he was covered in stinky sweat, Nie Kong stopped.
"Ah...... Ahh......h
In the Yaochi cave, Xiangxiang called weakly. Nie Kong frowned slightly, and after half a day, the little guy was a lot more depressed.
Yesterday, there was no medicinal power for Xiangxiang to absorb, and Nie Kong was still looking forward to the little guy being very hungry and interested in the dark green blood in the Yaochi cave. If it can absorb dark green blood like when it recognizes the master, it can also help Nie Kong remove a hidden worry.
It's a pity that the little guy didn't absorb a little blood.
Nie Kong has always been puzzled by this, you must know that the little guy only succeeded in recognizing the master by absorbing dark green blood. Nie Kong could conclude that in addition to the hidden strange power in the dark green blood, there must be something in the dark green blood that had a strong attraction to the Violet Phantom Spirit Incense. Otherwise, after Nie Kong forcibly moved the next guy to a trick point the night before, it wouldn't have slipped back to the Yaochi cave with a dead face.
It's just that what that kind of thing is, even through the spiritual connection between Nie Kong and Xiangxiang, it is difficult to detect it now.
"After most of the day, the Lingbao Pavilion has probably given up looking for it, and it's time to buy medicinal herbs. Wait any longer, the little one will really have a problem. ”
In a flash, Nie Kong strode out of the top area.
"The idle and bored little ones, all come here to gather, there is a task!" Steeply, a loud roar spread throughout the training ground.
It was a fat man like a mountain of meat who spoke, paused slightly, and shouted loudly: "The task this time is very simple, that is, to find someone in Jiyang City." ”
Task?Find someone?
The young boys and girls in the training ground who were resting, talking, laughing, or wandering around all had their eyes shining, these guys were carrying out boring cultivation every day, and they had long wanted to find something to adjust and adjust. As soon as I heard about such a simple but not dangerous task, I immediately became excited.
Get!
Hearing these two words, Nie Kong, who was about to leave, moved in his heart and walked quickly towards the strong man in the center of the training ground. By the time he arrived, hundreds of people had gathered around the strong man, most of them were under twenty years old, and even some **-year-old children.
The strong man smiled and held up a portrait and said, "What you are looking for is this guy, in his twenties, medium height, yellow face and thin muscles, hoarse voice, Jiyang's local accent ......."
This task of finding someone, it turned out to be me?!it, Lingbao Pavilion is still endless! Hearing the fat man's description, Nie scolded secretly, but he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he didn't expect to look for it, and finally implicated the Nie family.
At this time, a chaotic voice poured out: "Uncle Bronze, what is this person doing? Is he also a spirit master?
"yes, yes, is there any reward for finding him?"
“......”
"Quiet! quiet!"
Nie Qingtong drank heavily, his face trembling, "There is no reward if you find it, and you will not be punished if you don't find it." Remember, don't act rashly when you find him, and get the message back right away. By the way, according to reliable sources, this person has a spirit card in his hand that stores 16,000 whole gold coins, so everyone should pay attention to the shops in Jiyang City that can exchange gold coins or pay directly with spirit cards. ”
"Remember?"
"Remember!"
"Okay, let's go!"
With a wave of Nie Bronze's fan-like right palm, hundreds of people rushed out of the drill field with shouts. Seeing this chaotic scene, Nie Qingtong shook his head and smiled, and hurriedly followed. As soon as they left, the training ground became empty, and only a few cultivators around them were indifferent.
Nie Kong stood in place, stunned, his heart was extremely depressed, and he cursed the eighteen generations of ancestors of the "Lingbao Pavilion" several times: Focus on the shops that can exchange gold coins and pay with spirit cards, if Lao Tzu goes to buy medicine, it is not the same as sending it to the door by himself? Lingbao Pavilion, you are really insidious! Fortunately, Lao Tzu is a member of the Nie family, otherwise I am afraid that this time I will have to make a big mistake.
That spirit card can't be moved now, so I have to find time to buy an appropriation device and a new spirit card, and transfer the gold coins to use again. It's just that these two things add up to more than 100 gold coins, and it's hard to get hold of them for the time being...... It's really troublesome, you can't buy medicine, how can you provide medicine for the little guy? Nie Kong furrowed his brows and paced back and forth. After a long time, Nie Kong's eyes suddenly lit up, today is the first day of October, how can he forget such an important day!
