Wings of Hung Chien

The sun rose, shining a mottled glow on Chenghu Lake.

Si Hongcang raised her head and asked Bai Yi because she had been looking at her.

“ What’s the matter?”

“ Are you not suspicious of people? Even if you are a woman, you can’t take your safety lightly,” Bai Yi asked with a look of disapproval.

“ Is there a problem with that?”

“ Yes? You don’t even know my background, and you let me live in your house, and you don’t see a problem?” Bai Yi looked at her, disapproviling.

“ You don’t look like a bad person….”

“ How do you know I am not a bad person? Bai Yi glared at her

“Uh........Intuition.”

“ Just by intuition, are you an animal?” Bai Yi spat, she wasn’t happy with the explanations, but she could accept it.

“ Yes, I must be an animal and a wild feline” Her sense of smell was keen, she had a high sense of alertness, and she was light on her feet.

“ Your opinion is quite peculiar.”

“You are not much better. How is your injury?’ Si Hongcang saw how the sword was in her shoulder blade last night. She could feel the pain just by looking at it, if she suffer such an injury, her arm wouldn’t be able to move for two or three months.

“ It’s feeling fine”

“ That’s good, well I'm leaving the house to you, I have to go out for awhile.”

“ Where are you going?”

“ I’m going out to get two little piglets to raise them.”

“ You want to raise piglets? Where are you going to put them?” Bai Yi looked around the yard with a bemusement look.

“ In the yard….” As she was saying this, Bai Yi looked at her like she was an idiot, and she couldn’t even complete that statement as the word got stuck in her throat.

“ Don’t you think that is a little naive of you? You have no fence in this yard, just a bunch of clumps of dwarf rhododendrons. Even if the wild animals don’t take away your piglets, they can just run away and disappear.”

“ Uh, you are right about that.” Si Hongcang looked around… and sure enough she didn’t have a fence.

“ I’ll help you build a fence to surround the piglets and after that’s done you can get the piglets.”

“ Ah! Thanks so much, Bai Yi.”

“ I don’t know how you survive for this long,”

“ Hahaha… I was raised by the heavens.” Si Hongcang pointed at the sky and smiled

“.....” Bai Yi looked at her in understanding the gods did love to bless the foolish and good people.

In less than a day, Bai Yi went up to the mountain and chop wood, and picked stones. Soon enough appearing in front of Si Hongcang, was a pigsty when she return from the field. Not only that but Bai Yi also build a fence for the chicken. Even more, she even fixed the thatch on the roof and sharpen all the kitchen knives in the house.

Looking at the scene in front of her, it was hard not to be surprised! How was this woman that amazing?! Si Hongcang's mouth fell to the ground in admiration of her.

“ You are too amazing!”

“ These are just small matters.”

“ This is a small matter?”

“ Is this that big of a deal?”

“ Yes it’s a big deal since you can handle it by yourself, I'm going get the piglets.”

“ Go ahead. I’ll help you get the grass for the pig when you get back.”

“ Thank you.”

Later, Bai Yi would go with her to the mountain, hunt, gather herbs, and watch over her like a silent overseer.

At noon one day, Bai Yi, was eating by a shade tree said, “ You are not farming material .”

Si Hongcang was a little frustrated, “ I can’t carry a plow and can’t hold right.”

Bai Yi said honestly, “ No, also you are bullied by the pigs and the chickens when you feed them.”

Si Hongcang bit her chopsticks and snorted dissatisfied, “ Why did you have to say that? Sprinkle salt on an already open wound! I’m still learning! One day I will be an expert in farming and raising livestock.”

“ With those hands of yours?” Bai Yi glanced contemptuously at the hands with scars and blisters, “ Your hands are too tender and you also have a weak body.”

“ Have you never heard of “with enough sincerity, any door can be open?”’ Si Hongcang lowered her head and ate very unhappily.

She could admit that she didn’t know anything about farming. But the chickens and pigs were coming along fine, and the field are also flourishing, and the vegetables are even more verdant. She is able to have food to cook for herself and is not starving.

She is happy about the achievements that she has made!

“Your bones may be soft, but you are suitable for practicing materials arts. Do you want to learn?” Bai Yi ask eating and thinking to herself that it was rare in this world to be as weak as this girl and ignoring the unhappy look on her face.

How strange! Even when facing a soft woman like Si Hongcang, Bai Yi couldn’t hate her. Because of the fact that she is working hard to take care of this vegetable garden, chickens, and as while as pigs by herself. She may look on the outside but on the inside, she was very strong.

“ Really?! But at my age can I still learn material arts.” Si Hongcang ask because she was surprised by this.

“ It’s hard starting this late, but I don’t see a problem with it. As long as you make up your mind to study and stick with it. Although you might not be the best at you will still be able to do it. “

“ I don’t want to be the best in material arts. It just matters that I stay healthy and I would be satisfied with that. So I will definitely stick with it!”

“ Practicing material art will be hard.” Even saying this Bai Yi will still help her out.

“ I know. You must suffer in order to do something well.”

“ We will start practicing tomorrow morning.” Bai Yi glanced at her, the corners of her lips slightly raised.

“ Okay, how much are charging to be my teacher?”

“ Don’t worry about paying me.”

“Isn't this too much of a loss for you?” Is this good? Si Hongcang raised her eyes to look at her.

"Whether it will suffer or not, who knows the future? What do you want out of life once you make a decision you have to stick with.” Bai Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

“That's right.........” This is the truth. If she doesn't have the perseverance to stick to it, everything will be in vain. But why is she doing this? Almost omnipotent! Si Hongcang tilted her head to look at her.

"What is it?"

“In addition to martial arts, chopping bamboo to make tables and chairs, logging pigsty, masonry, and piling to build chicken houses, what else do you know?”

“Hmm.........”

Seeing her expression as she raised her eyebrows and looked at the sky, Si Hongcang's head was pulled down. In this case, it should be that she knows too many things, and she can't count them for a while...

So she changed to another way of asking, maybe Bai Yi would be better to answer.

“Just say what you can't do.”

“Have a baby.”This is something she will never be able to do.

Sure enough, it was quick and easy, but it hurt Si Hongcang's self-esteem too much. She was also a woman, but this lady was just too powerful!

“……..”Uh------ this something now that she can’t even do because she was in this female respect world.

Since she was placed in a magical place, if she didn’t take advantage it would be at a disadvantage to herself.

Since she was stuck here in this body forever she must get used to reality!

Yunjia-------

Yun Ruo, who suffered from a cold because of his fall into the water, in addition to resting at home, also the family had spend a lot of money on medical expenses for him. In terms of his family background, one or two taels of silver in expense is big for the Yun family.

Yun Ruo, who was lying on the bed, frowned and thought hard, but Song was still very worried outside. thought to Himself: Why is my son lying on the bed, are you feeling uncomfortable again?

Seeing that his wife and daughter were going down the fields again, he hurriedly entered the room and touched Yun Ruo's forehead carelessly, and asked, "Ruo'er, are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Yun Ruo was startled, only to find that he had been lying down for a while. The family is so busy, no wonder his dad is worried.

He sat up and took his father's arm, and said, "Father, when you go to the market today, don't pull any cloth for to make clothes for me , just grab two pigs and come back, and make a few more nests for the chickens, okay?"

Song saw his son was worried about the family again, and his heart felt sour; he took his hand and said, "Silly boy! You think you're the only one who thinks about it! Do you think I don't know how to raise chickens and pigs? It's just that we don't have anything to feed them. If we catch two more pigs, what can we give them to eat? They would starve! The chicken, too, can be stocked during spring and summer, allowing them to find their own worms.”

Yun Ruo hurriedly said, "That's why I figured it out!" Dad, think about how we can manage the pig by cutting more pig grass, putting it in the cellar, and giving it corn stalks to manage it for a while! Also, we can raise some earthworms! In winter, we can grow more vegetables, and if it goes well, we can give that also to the pigs. Isn’t this a good idea? Our vegetable garden is too small. Let me see, isn't a large piece of land next to the hut outside the courtyard empty? Why don't we open up that piece of land? We will be able to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes next year. There are four people in our family, all of whom can work. What are you afraid of?”

Seeing that what his son said was true, planned for the family everywhere. In addition to catching piglets, these things cost money. For this matter, his son actually said that he didn’t need clothes anymore, and the others plan didn’t cost that much money. It's just a matter of doing something.

He thought about it for a while, but there was nothing difficult, so he could try it. Follow his son's wishes, to let him feel more relaxed, and don't keep thinking about the medical expenses this time and Xu Fumei's incident.

So with a smile Song, "Sure! Daddy will listen to you, and I'll go get the piglets tomorrow. Chickens, I'll get some eggs from your grandfather to help hatch the chicks. What about the rooster at home? It’s time to brood, and when to hatch again. If you can really make a cricket, then don’t be afraid to feed more chickens!”

Yun Ruo persuaded his father when he saw this, and he was very happy in his heart, as if he had seen the silver rolling in.

He pursed his mouth and smiled, and then said to his father, “Let my mother help me make up a shrimp net, and in my spare time, I will go to the river to pick up some fish and shrimp and come back to make a tooth sacrifice!"Seeing Song's face changed, he hurriedly added, “I'll go with my sister!"”

Song Shi was relieved after this and carefully reminded him again, that he should be careful if anything happens, and just wait for his sister to come back and do it together.

After speaking, he asked Yun Ruo again, "Ruo'er, are you all right now?"

"Huh.”

“Tomorrow, our family will go to Ah Cang's house to thank her."Song has been remembering the matter for a long time, and he has to say thank you to Si Hongcang.

“Well, we should have gone a long time ago.”

“That's right, I should have thanked her for a while ago.”

The two of them talked about the proper gifts they should bring when they go to Si Hongcang's house tomorrow.
