CHAPTER XXIV

Bigu Jian naturally knew that the female monk was Lin Xiaoyue, and she should be able to protect the jade barnacles. Bigu Jian wrote down the kindness he owed Lin Xiaoyue.

After Lin Xiaoyue sold the spirit stone, she flew back to Suzhou City. Lin Xiaoyue knew that the best way to get a woman out of her melancholy mood was to buy, buy, buy. So Lin Xiaoyue took the jade barnacle to the street to shop. The jade barnacle couldn't let go at first, and she was embarrassed to accept Lin Xiaoyue's gift. Jade barnacles are cute beauties with round faces, and they are even cuter when they are shy.

Lin Xiaoyue pinched the white and tender round face of the jade barnacle and said: Xiaoju, you will be my family in the future, I will buy you whatever you want, as long as you are happy.

The jade barnacle's nose was sour, and she was so moved that tears almost fell.

After that, the jade barnacle let go in front of Lin Xiaoyue, and she returned to her true colors as a wayward daughter.

The city of Suzhou is prosperous, and all kinds of objects are dazzling. Jade barnacles can be bought as long as you like them, whether you need them or not, whether they are expensive or not.

At the end of the day, I bought all kinds of things, including exquisite silver jewelry, silk dresses, clay figurines, rag dolls, delicate refreshments, mutton fat and white jade, and so on.

Back at home, Lin Xiaoyue and Jade Barnacle were full of big bags and small bags. Chongming was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then smiled helplessly and helped Lin Xiaoyue and Jade Barnacle sort out their burdens.

Jade Barnacle went shopping for a day, was in a good mood, and let go of Lin Xiaoyue, hugging Lin Xiaoyue and coquettish.

Lin Xiaoyue rubbed the round head of the jade barnacle and told her to go back to her room and practice hard. Jade Barnacle stuck out her tongue and returned to her room with her large bag.

Shopping is really a good medicine to relieve emotions, but it costs money. Seventy-five taels of silver were spent in one day. But it's worth it to make the jade barnacles lively and cheerful again. However, Qin Chufeng can't afford this consumption power, and other ordinary people can't afford it.

Chongming said: Miss Lin really loves the little pot girl, I am a little envious.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Chongming, I also prepared a gift for you.

The next day, Lin Xiaoyue ordered someone to build a swimming pool in Chongming's courtyard and build pipes to let the river flow into the pool automatically.

After the pool was built, Chongming often stayed in the pool to swim and play. Yes, the merman lives in the water. The mermaids worship Versey, the god of the sea. When Chongming was depressed and suffering, he felt that the sea god had abandoned him. But he met someone who was so kind to him, and he felt that the sea god favored him. He knew that Lin Xiaoyue was very good to him, like a lover, like a relative, not the capricious favor of the superiors.

Jade Barnacle saw Lin Xiaoyue build a swimming pool in order to please the merman. I think of the story of the ancient king who built a palace for the princess Bo Demon Smile. I feel that Chongming is like the red face in the story.

Lin Xiaoyue gave the jade barnacle thirty taels of silver as pocket money every month, allowing them to consume it on their own, but also urged her to practice every day.

Because of Xiao Zhoutian's Gong Method and the assistance of spirit stones, after a month, the energy of the Jade Barnacle Yuan Shen was upgraded from one point to one level to two levels, and more powerful gods could be invited. Xiao Zhou Tiangong will strengthen the body, and the strength and speed of the jade barnacles will increase to the level of a first-class martial arts master.

Chongming's eyes are completely restored, and the failure of the internal organs is cured. The qi veins on his body are open up nine times out of ten, and he can use martial arts and spells.

Lin Xiaoyue thought it was time for Jade Barnacle to learn. I spoiled her before, mainly to evacuate the negative feelings and worries that had accumulated in the past few months of suffering of the jade barnacles. Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to raise jade barnacles like Yu Zhijiang, but she pampered but didn't pay attention to education, and raised jade barnacles stupidly and willfully.

Lin Xiaoyue asked Chongming to bring back the jade barnacles that were playing outside. After the jade barnacle was brought back, he was still gnawing on the chicken legs, holding the windmill in the other hand, and said aggrievedly: "Shizun, I have been practicing for two hours in the morning, and it is time for me to play."

Lin Xiaoyue said: From now on, in addition to cultivation, you will spend two hours a day studying, these are the books I bought, you spend an hour a day reading books, and I will use an hour a day to impart knowledge to you.

The jade barnacle said: Master, my skills have increased greatly recently, and I have become very powerful.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, there is no force and no wisdom, but it is just a reckless man and cannot go far.

Chongming said: Xiaoju, your master wants you to be both civil and military.

Jade barnacle said: I am a woman, Daddy said that women don't have to be so powerful.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Your father said this because he thought he could protect you for a lifetime. However, the world is impermanent, in this world, no one can protect anyone for a lifetime, even if the person who protects you truly loves you for a lifetime, he also has three disasters and five difficulties, and he also has his own difficulties and can't protect you.

Jade Barnacle thought of her imprisoned father and fell silent.

Lin Xiaoyue said: When your dependence falls, can you save yourself, when your relatives are in trouble, can you protect him, can you live a good life on your own, Xiaoju, women should be self-reliant.

Chongming said: Miss Lin, in this world, women rely on their husband's family and their mother's family, and I haven't heard of the saying that women should be self-reliant.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Chongming, the world is difficult, and it is even more difficult to be a woman. If a woman does not learn to gain more strength for herself, she will become a weak person in life and will not be able to withstand the wind and rain of life. Small pot, you have become a flower in the greenhouse from a small brocade clothed and jade. When the storm comes, you don't have the ability to take care of yourself and protect yourself, so that you almost lost your life several times, and you can survive because you are lucky, but people can't rely on luck to survive.

The theory that Lin Xiaoyue said is very novel to the jade barnacle, and he has never heard of it, but it makes sense when he thinks about it carefully.

Chongming sighed that Lin Xiaoyue was really a strange woman, kind, intelligent and extraordinary.

The jade barnacle said: Master, I understand, and I will study hard in the future.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Now I'm going to talk to you about the first section of game theory, the prisoner's dilemma. Once upon a time, there were two bandits, one named Zhang San and the other named Li Si, who broke into the house to steal property and killed one person. After the two bandits were caught by the officials, the officials only had evidence that they had stolen their property, but there was no evidence that they had killed people. The official sent the two into separate custodys. And said to Zhang San: If you confess and Li Si doesn't confess, Li Si is a murderer, Li Si was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and you were acquitted for helping to solve the case. If you don't confess, Li Si confesses, you will be sentenced to twenty years in prison, and Li Si will be acquitted. If you both confess and you kill together, you both get twelve years in prison. If you don't confess, you will be sentenced to three years in prison for stealing property. The choice is yours. After the official finished speaking to Zhang San, he said the same thing to Li Si. As a result, both confessed to their crimes and were sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Jade Barnacle said: Why do they all confess, if they don't confess, they only need to go to prison for three years.

Chongming said: Because people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, the two of them are separated, and they don't know if the other party confesses to betraying themselves.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Small pot, human nature tends to advantages and avoids disadvantages. Choose to confess, and the result is acquittal or a twelve-year sentence. Choosing not to confess, the result is a three- or twenty-year sentence. People will choose the best way for themselves in the dilemma of not knowing the other person's thoughts, and confessing is the most beneficial for themselves.

Chongming's logical thinking ability is not bad, and he understands it quickly.

The jade barnacle thought about it with a bitter face, and gradually cleared up his thoughts and understood.

Lin Xiaoyue said: The key point in the prisoners' plight is that they are separated from each other and cannot communicate with each other, so as to achieve a win-win model of cooperation (neither of them confesses).

The jade barnacle said: Master, I understand a little, but why did Shizun teach me this?

Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, when you encounter problems and events in the future, you must firmly grasp the theme of human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages to analyze problems and events, what is the most beneficial way for people to cooperate, and what is the most beneficial way for people not to cooperate. In this way, you will be able to determine the cause and development of the matter.

The jade barnacle said: The master wants me to learn to analyze and judge personnel.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Yes, Xiaoju, when encountering conspiracy, you must first think of who is most beneficial to the conspiracy, and who is most likely to be the mastermind.

Chongming exclaimed: Miss Lin, you are really smart.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Small pot. When you were framed in the Qin family, I analyzed who was most beneficial to you when you died, and I could think of the Qin family's master, Qin Mu.

Chongming said: The Qin family is afraid of being implicated and victimized by Xiaoju, as long as they drive her away, why are they forced to die.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Because as long as Xiaohu is alive, the Wuwang Mansion will keep chasing and killing, find the Qin family to persecute the Qin family and ask about the whereabouts or destroy the Qin family because the Qin family had assisted Xiaohu, only when Xiaohu is dead, Wuwangfu will stop all actions.

Jade Barnacle's face was gloomy and said: So they ruined my reputation and forced me to die.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Murder is heartfelt. If a person's spirit is destroyed, and the person's spirit collapses, there is no courage to live. But they underestimated the strength of the small pot.

Jade barnacles have a deeper understanding of the sinister nature of the human heart.

Lin Xiaoyue said: It is not reasonable for the Witch King to order the hunt and killing of jade barnacles. Because the jade barnacle died, it would not be good for the witch king, and it would also break his own bloodline.

Chongming said: The witch king is afraid that Xiaoju will take revenge or ruin his plans.

Lin Xiaoyue said: The witch king did not kill Yuzhijiang, the two did not have a deep hatred, and they ruined the witch king's plan, and Xiaoju did not have this ability. Except for Tang Xiahui, who had a holiday with Bigu Sword, everyone else in the Wuwang Mansion was not active.

Jade Barnacle said suspiciously: Then why did he give a chase and kill order.

Lin Xiaoyue said: The witch king didn't want to give a chase and kill order, but he issued a chase and kill order. Whoever can make the witch king do this must be the one who is higher than the witch king.

Jade Barnacle's eyes widened and asked, "Who?"

Lin Xiaoyue said: Either the emperor of Liang or the emperor of Yu, or the magnates below one person and above ten thousand people in Yu or Liang, only they can coerce the witch king.

The jade barnacle is even more incredible, saying: I have no intersection with these people, no grudges.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Piff is not guilty, he is guilty, you have something in them that they covet, and they will do the same.

The jade barnacle said: I don't have any treasures.

Lin Xiaoyue said: That's not necessarily, maybe you have some kind of special item hidden on your body.

After Lin Xiaoyue's analysis, the jade barnacle knew her situation. Put away the playful temperament and start studying seriously.

Lin Xiaoyue heard about the imminent war between the Liang Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom in the Wu Clan. At that time, lives will be destroyed and people will be displaced. Lin Xiaoyue wanted to save those innocent people, so she discussed the rescue plan with Jade Barnacle and Chongming.

These days, Lin Xiaoyue has been roaming around on a broom, inquiring about news and preparing for the plan. I accidentally found out that Bigu Jian was running errands in nearby Gusu City. It only takes two hours to fly from Suzhou City to Gusu City by broom, and Lin Xiaoyue plans to let the two of them meet.

Lin Xiaoyue went to find Bigu Jian first, and said that she would take him to see the jade barnacle the night after tomorrow, and he was as happy as a child.

When Lin Xiaoyue told the jade barnacle, the jade barnacle was also happy.

Lin Xiaoyue wanted to match the two of them. Lin Xiaoyue has experienced the heat and coldness of the world, and knows how difficult it is to meet a person who is desperate for himself. Most people can only find one person to make do with them until they grow old in broad daylight.
