Chapter 7 Negotiating with the Treasure Chest
While Xu Ning was dodging the slap from Old Lady Xu, he couldn't help but look at the ugly and grotesque dagger in Xu Dabao's hand.
Really, Xu Ning felt that she could tell it was a dagger simply because of her good imagination.
"Xu Daya! If you mess with your brother again, you won't have to eat breakfast today!" Old Mrs. Xu tried to catch up with Xu Ning but failed. This girl was as slippery as a loach. Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she put one hand on her waist and the other hand holding a spatula, pointing at Xu Ning and threatening her.
There is not a single peaceful day every day!
Old Lady Xu seriously suspected that Xu Daya was just stupid for eight years and suppressed her nature too harshly! Who does she look like? She is so wild that she doesn't look like a girl!
"Oh grandma, get up early and exercise more, it's good for your health!" Xu Ning didn't dare to provoke Old Lady Xu too much. Seeing that Old Lady Xu was gasping for breath due to exhaustion, he hurried back to help her calm down.
"You!" Old Lady Xu pointed at Xu Ning with her finger, and Xu Ning smiled flatteringly: "Grandma, you are the best grandma!"
"Hmph, you have a lot of nice things to say, but I'm not your Uncle Li. I won't fall for it!" Xu Ning's expression changed immediately, becoming pitiful. Old Mrs. Xu almost couldn't hold back her expression.
"I really owe you." Old Mrs. Xu pushed the clingy girl away. Seeing her smiling happily again, she felt that she had never seen her like this in her entire life!
Xu Xiaobao just woke up and saw his elder brother looking at the wood block with deep hatred. He rubbed his eyes and asked: "Brother, what are you doing holding a piece of firewood? Have you made Dad's dagger?"
Xu Dabao experienced another critical blow, his mentality completely collapsed, and he burst into tears.
"Tsk tsk tsk." After all, he is just a ten-year-old child. Just when Xu Ning was about to comfort him, the grumpy old lady Xu showed her concern again.
"Grandma, it's not me! It's really not me this time. I didn't offend big brother! Really! It's Xiaobao! Xiaobao didn't realize that the ugly lump in big brother's hand was a dagger! Ahhhh" Xu Ning almost ran away. This time, Old Mrs. Xu didn't listen to anything and chased after Xu Ning. The Xu family was in chaos.
The people in Xujia Village looked at the Xu family for a few seconds and then stopped looking and continued cooking their own breakfast.
Next to the Xu family's pot, Xu Da stood next to Zhang to help block the view, while Zhang quickly put the mixed flour lumps into the fish soup one by one.
This morning Zhang found a handful of wild vegetables by the river and put them into the soup after it boiled.
Xu Ning was tired from running. He smelled the rich fish soup, put on a flattering smile on his face, and retreated to the panting Old Lady Xu.
Old Mrs. Xu no longer had the strength to chase him away, so she gently nudged Xu Ning with the handle of the shovel, and Xu Ning helped Old Mrs. Xu towards his own pot.
"Grandma, take a break, take a break, drink one more bowl later." Old Mrs. Xu looked up at her speechlessly and handed the shovel to Xu Da, who took it and started to serve the fish soup.
Zhang simply wiped Xu Xiaobao's face, and the family quickly formed a circle and started to eat today's breakfast.
Xu Dabao was still very sad at first, but after Xu Ning scooped a mouthful of noodles for him, he forgave her.
Why not forgive? The noodles are so delicious!
The food was so delicious that Xu Dabao's eyes were filled with tears. He decided that he would never be angry with his sister again!
It's so delicious. It's so delicious o(╥﹏╥)o
Xu Dabao was moved while eating. He heard from his grandmother that the flour was given to his sister by the gods, but his sister gave him the food given by the gods, so he should not be angry with his sister!
Xu Xiaobao's eyes sparkled as he ate. Xu Xiaobao already knew how precious food was, so he ate from the bowl obediently without saying a word. His cheeks were bulging from eating, like a little groundhog.
Xu Xiaobao was young, and like Old Man Xu, his bowl only contained fish soup, noodle dumplings and a few wild vegetable leaves. There were too many bones in the fish, so no one was given to them for fear that they would get choked.
The soups for Xu Xiaobao and Old Man Xu were the first to be scooped out, and they were no longer hot. Even so, Zhang still looked at him from time to time, worried that he would choke if he ate too fast.
The other members of the Xu family ate without even raising their heads, slurping the food with relish!
"Uncle Li, why do we have to roast these bamboo arrows over fire?" After Xu Ning happily finished a bowl of fish soup noodles, he strolled over to Li the hunter to watch him roast the bamboo arrows.
"Bamboo that has been roasted over fire has better toughness!" Hunter Li took out an unroasted bamboo arrow and a roasted bamboo arrow and showed them to Xu Ning. Xu Ning clearly saw that the unroasted bamboo arrow was easily broken.
"So that's how it is! Uncle Li, can you make sleeve arrows? Those small crossbow arrows hidden in the sleeves?" Xu Ning just asked tentatively. He didn't expect that Li the Hunter really knew this thing.
"I don't have what Xiu Jian wants. If I can find a blacksmith shop in the next city, maybe I can give it a try!"
"That's great! Uncle Li, you're really awesome!" Xu Ning's flattery was like a torrent of water. Li the hunter had never seen such a big deal before, and soon Xu Ning coaxed him into agreeing to make her a small bamboo bow and arrow first.
"Brother Li, don't listen to this damn girl!" When Old Mrs. Xu didn't see Xu Ning after dinner, she knew that Xu Ning had gone to cause trouble again.
"That's right, Brother Li, my girl suddenly became clear-headed, maybe..." Not clear-headed? Xu Da looked into Xu Ning's bright eyes and couldn't say those three words.
"Auntie, I like Daya. She is such a well-behaved and sensible girl. I want a daughter like her!" The baby who had just turned one month old in Li Hunter's family was sleeping soundly in Feng's arms. He didn't know that he was rejected by his own father because of his male body.
"Xu Da, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-seven, what's up?"
"I'm eighteen!"
"What!" Xu Da was confused again. Xu Ning glanced at Li Liehu's mature face, then at his father's silly look. He couldn't help stomping his feet and slapping his thighs. He tilted his head back and opened his mouth wide, and two tears were squeezed out due to excessive force. He looked completely awful and kept crowing while laughing!
Feng was holding the child on the cart and didn't dare to laugh out loud, but her shaking shoulders betrayed her.
Old Mrs. Xu was also enduring a lot of hardship. She just followed their instructions along the way and didn't ask any detailed questions. Now she has become a joke!
"Li Da, oh no, Li brother, you, I really didn't realize that! If you didn't tell me, everyone would think you were thirty years old!"
Li the Hunter: ...He just looks a little anxious, who has he offended?
While Xu Ning's side was bustling with activity, the people from Xujia Village had started to clean up. When Old Lady Xu saw this, she pulled Xu Ning and Xu Da and hurried back to clean up.
Not long after, the Xu family's cart began to roll on the road to escape famine again. The lazy Xu Ning sat on the cart, touching the wooden dagger and treasure chest to bargain.
"Bao, don't you think it's inconvenient for me to take things out of the box every time? Don't you have a special space or something?"
"Hello player, your current level is still relatively low. When you complete 50% of the task, you can take the items from the treasure chest out of thin air."
"So how much progress have I made now?"
"Hello player, your current task progress is 1%."
Xu Ning: …
Xu Ning was completely speechless. After asking about the treasure chest, he realized that this 1% progress was given by the main system because the system detected that Xu Ning was trying to find a way to let the Xu family eat fish.
However, giving away the things in the treasure chest directly will not increase the task progress.
"Bao, I want to exchange for a telescope!" Xu Ning squinted at the mountains in front of her. She just couldn't believe that with so much knowledge and technology in modern times, she couldn't survive in this ancient times?
"Okay player, special exchange will deduct one hundred points from you."
"One hundred points? That's so expensive? Baby, don't fool me!"
