Chapter 117 - When the Autumn Wind Blows, the Crabs Fatten
Chapter 117 When the Autumn Wind Blows, the Crabs Fatten
Inside the Jiang Mansion.
The three little girls were dragging Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi towards Jiang Ping’s bedroom.
“Daddy, I’m going to catch crabs. Come out quickly and accompany me.”
Wan’er, who had always been carefree, shouted before she reached Jiang Ping’s door.
Jiang Ping opened the door and saw the three little girls with Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi.
“What’s wrong? What are you three little rascals trying to do today?”
Yan’er pointed at Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi and said.
“Old Uncle Lei and Uncle Qiu said that there is a big lake outside the city. There are many crabs inside, and they are very delicious after being steamed.”
Liu’er also said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, and the school is closed today. Daddy, please take us there.”
Before Jiang Ping could say anything, the three little girls immediately came up and hugged him. They used their coquettish ways to rub against him and kiss him.
Jiang Ping had no choice but to agree with them with a smile.
After the three little girls saw that Jiang Ping had agreed, they were so happy that they danced with joy. Without waiting for Jiang Ping to say anything else, they also pulled him out.
Qiu Chi was originally from Fusheng City, so he led the way in front. Lei Jingyun, Jiang Ping, and the three little girls followed behind him.
During the journey, Wan’er felt that Qiu Chi was walking too slowly, so she went up and kicked him, asking him to lead the way faster. Otherwise, she would not let him eat crabs tonight. The helpless Qiu Chi could only obediently agree with the eldest young miss, and then quickly walked towards Yingri Lake.
On the side of Yingri Lake, there were all kinds of people. As soon as the three little girls reached the place, they planned to jump into the lake.
Wan’er had already taken off her shoes and was eager to give it a try.
Now that the sun was high in the sky, the lake was shimmering. Looking at the bottom of the lake, the water was shallow, and the grass was swaying. Evergreen trees were planted around the lakeside.
The shadow of the trees was reflected on the lake water. It looked like a natural gem that made people feel comfortable physically and mentally.
When Jiang Ping saw this scene, he recalled that he had never really appreciated the scenery here since he came to this world.
He told Qiu Chi and Lei Jingyun to look after the three little girls carefully and walked along the lake.
“Sister Feng, do you think that’s Jiang Ping and the three little girls?”
Zi Yue pointed at Jiang Ping and the others and said to Feng Dan. Feng Dan looked in the direction Zi Yue pointed and saw that it was Jiang Ping and the others. She was just about to get up when she sat down again.
Zi Yue noticed this subtle movement, but she didn’t say anything.
After carefully looking at where Jiang Ping and the three little girls were, she suddenly said to Feng Dan beside her.
“Look at the two next to them. Aren’t they Qiu Chi and Old Man Lei who was at the Fang family’s gate that day?”
“Didn’t Jiang Ping say that he wouldn’t have anything to do with cultivators? Why did he bring them with him?”
Zi Yue complained.
Feng Dan looked over and found that it was true. Yes, didn’t he say that he didn’t like to deal with cultivators? How could it be…
Or perhaps he just didn’t want to deal with women.
Zi Yue didn’t know what Feng Dan was thinking at the moment. However, seeing that Feng Dan was silent, she also didn’t say anything.
From the two women’s view, Jiang Ping said something to Qiu Chi and Lei Jingyun before leaving. Then, he slowly walked along the lakeside with his hands behind his back.
The lake was round. No matter which direction Jiang Ping walked in, he would pass by where the two of them were.
A moment later, Feng Dan watched as Jiang Ping got closer and closer to her. Feng Dan grabbed her sleeve tightly.
When they were only twenty steps away, the woman wanted to say hello, but she didn’t know how to open her mouth. Zi Yue, who was beside her, sighed and waved in Jiang Ping’s direction. “Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence. You’re here too.”
Jiang Ping heard the voice and looked over. When he saw the two of them, he revealed his signature smile. He nodded and waved his hand as a greeting. Then, he didn’t stop and continued walking.
When she saw that Jiang Ping was getting further and further away from her, Feng Dan’s hand that was gripping her sleeve slowly loosened.
It was as if he treated everyone like this except for his three daughters. He had a smile on his face, but he didn’t get close to anyone.
At this moment, Jiang Ping did not think too much about it. He just treated it as a greeting from someone he knew, but he would not have too much contact with the two girls.
After all, he had taken in Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi back then because they had already cut off all ties with the outside world and would not cause any more trouble. Zi Yue and Feng Dan were, after all, the daughters of two first-rate forces in Fusheng City.
Who knew if they would drag their family into another fight.
Although Jiang Ping wasn’t afraid, he was still very clear about the principle that it was better to avoid trouble.
As for the three little girls, Lei Jingyun told the three little girls about the cultivators holding their breaths and some things to take note of. He also explained the situation at the bottom of the lake and told them where the crabs liked to hide.
After saying that, the three girls rushed to the bottom of the lake.
Lei Jingyun was helpless, but in order to ensure the safety of the three girls, he could only follow obediently.
Before entering the water, Lei Jingyun also told Qiu Chi to fish for more crabs. These three girls were only intrigued by the idea and came here to play. If they really wanted to eat crabs, they had to do it themselves.
After diving into the water, although the three girls couldn’t swim, because they held their breaths for a long time, they didn’t panic in the water.
Lei Jingyun used his spiritual energy to transmit his voice to the three of them, asking them to look at him. Then, he showed the three little girls how to swim.
After Wan’er finished watching, she puffed up her cheeks and waved her arms in the water, indicating that she had learned it.
Then, she imitated Lei Jingyun’s movements and swam forward.
Yan’er and Wan’er also learned it after Lei Jingyun demonstrated it two more times. Then, they swam to the bottom of the lake.
According to Old Man Lei, the three little girls grabbed a rock from the bottom of the lake so that they could sink and walk.
Then, they began to search for the big crab at the bottom of the lake.
Lei Jingyun told the three little girls to try not to stray too far away so that he could take care of them.
Wan’er held the rock in one hand and flipped the seaweed in the other.
After searching for a while, she did not find any trace of the crab. She suspected that Old Man Lei was lying to her. After working for half a day, she didn’t manage to catch the crab. She was even pecked twice when a school of small fish swam past.
Wan’er puffed up her cheeks and turned around to glare at Lei Jingyun with her small eyes.
Although the little girl was still in the tempering realm, she didn’t know how to transmit spiritual energy. However, judging from her fierce expression, Lei Jingyun knew that he would be slapped in the head again.
Wan’er walked towards Lei Jingyun with spitting anger. When she was halfway there, she stopped, and her face turned red.
Then, many small blisters appeared around her, along with waves of blue smoke.
Seeing this, Lei Jingyun quickly went forward to check.
Lei Jingyun almost shot out like a bow and arrow.
He came to Wan’er’s side and used his spiritual energy to check Wan’er’s body carefully.
His nervous expression was eased, and a smile appeared on his face.
Then, he used his spiritual energy to ask Wan’er to sit cross-legged under the water, telling her not to panic. It was a sign that her realm was going to break.
He told her to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible from the water after she sat down.
Wan’er obediently did as he said. She held the stone, pressed her small body down, and sat cross-legged under the water.
