The casual life of the flat space

Seeing that Bai Tieying was not afraid of either soft or hard tactics, Grandpa Zhong straightened his face and reached out to take the "armpit stick" from Hou Laoliu's hand.

"Grandpa Zhong, put these two forks under your armpits, and then hold the branch below with your hands. When using this cane, you can start with the 'four-point step', which means that walking with it requires four steps..."

Bai Tieying taught Grandpa Zhong how to use it, and he learned it in no time.

"Hahahaha, great, great! I didn't expect these two tree branches could be used in this way! Hahaha, Old Pei! Look at your father, he's not walking slower than you now, right?"

"Your father, why don't you compete with me in speed and talk to Big Bear?"

The soldiers who had difficulty walking were jealous, and several old men who were on good terms with him came forward and said they wanted to give it a try. As a result, Grandpa Zhong now walked steadily and quickly, and those old men were chasing after him, panting.

A smart man chased for a while and suddenly turned back, came to Bai Tieying and said, "Tieying! I am your grandfather Zhang Mugui. I used to be a carpenter. Can you tell me the trick of making this armpit stick? I can make one myself and save myself from competing with those old guys."

"Hello, Grandpa Zhang! It would be great if you can do carpentry work. I just saw Uncle Hou making it temporarily. It doesn't look like this in reality. Wait a minute, I'll draw a picture to explain it to you more clearly."

Bai Tieying stretched out her hand, and her little notebook and charcoal pencil came into her hand. Then she turned to the page behind the keel overturning diagram and drew the real armpit stick in the original world for Grandpa Zhang. She also told Grandpa Zhang the force points and precautions for using the armpit stick, so that he could pay attention to these points when making it.

After Grandpa Zhang understood the points that Bai Tieying mentioned that needed attention, he asked her again: "Tieying! What's the matter with your... ability? If you can tell me, just tell me, so that we old guys don't have to worry about it.

But don't worry, if you can't tell me, I won't ask. And you said before that you can provide for our old age, no matter if others believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"

"Grandpa Zhang, there's nothing to hide. It's just that the armpit crutches took up some time, otherwise I would have told you just now. Don't worry, I'll tell everyone right away."

"Grandpas, uncles, let's stop playing! Let's gather at the sacred tree."

Most of the people were actually near the sacred tree. When they heard Bai Tieying's call, they slowly gathered towards the sacred tree.

Seeing that most people had returned, Bai Tieying waved her hand and moved the table from Grandpa Wang's house in the space. Then, in full view of everyone, she "ascended" to the table, and then "ascended" Mu Qingqiu as well.

Mu Qingqiu glanced at her with resentful eyes and whispered, "I can get up here using Qinggong, without wasting space energy."

Bai Tieying ignored his complaints and said loudly:

"I introduced myself in the training ground just now, but I didn't introduce the person next to me. It's not that we are being rude, but it's really inconvenient to say it outside. I want you to know that this is the ninth son of the current emperor, Dayu. Tieying mentioned that he had the help of noble people before, and he is one of them.

It was my idea to invite you to my place to spend your retirement years, but he is the one who deserves the most credit. Without his support, I, a little girl, would not dare to take in so many retired soldiers even if I had the ability. Now, let's applaud and welcome the Ninth Prince to speak to us!"

After Bai Tieying finished speaking, she led the applause, but the three hundred soldiers below knelt down and shouted in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince." She was so scared that she quickly jumped off the table.

But Bai Tieying just stood a little to the side, not only did she not have the slightest intention of kneeling down to Mu Qingqiu, she even glared at him, implying that he should quickly tell all the soldiers to stand up, otherwise it would be so embarrassing for her to be the only one standing there without knowing what was going on!

"Sergeants, please stand up quickly!" Mu Qingqiu said repeatedly as he jumped off the table and hurried to help the soldiers in front of him. He didn't expect these people to kneel to him, he just didn't react just now.

When everyone stood up, Mu Qingqiu stood on the table again, this time he jumped up by himself. There was nothing he could do, because he was not tall enough to stand out from the crowd.

"Grandpas, uncles, and uncles, I will follow Tieying in addressing you. I am Mu Qingqiu, and you can call me Brother Qiu. I hope that there won't be a day when you need to address me formally, because then our relationship will definitely be distant.

To be honest, I was very surprised that Tieying accepted everyone here, because my coming here was just an accident, and she accepted me to stay here because we had experienced a lot together, but more importantly, it was because of her kindness.

Although I am still young, I feel that I have met many people in and outside the capital, and in Dayu, but Tieying is the purest person I have ever met. She did not want to rely on me for anything when she got to know me, but I received a lot of help from her.

If you were to protect Dayu, you all did more than anyone else and paid more. But for me, I never understood, nor did I consider how you would live after you retired from the battlefield and returned to the countryside.

I am ashamed now, not only because I am a member of the royal family but I am unable to find a good place for the heroes to live in their old age, but also because I am a commoner, a ten-year-old girl, who has just come out of the days of hardship, and just because I got a little opportunity, I feel that I must do something to repay Dayu.

I saw her three months ago, and she was skinny at that time. But you all saw her now, and she is still frail. I was curious before, thinking that she ate too little or was too weak, but it turned out to be beyond my expectation that it was the price she had to pay for this great opportunity that others thought was great.

Her uncle was a master in medicine, and he repeatedly warned her to do things within her ability. Every time she agreed, she would turn around and arrange something that she didn't need to do.

Tieying said that she received help from a noble person, but I disagree with this. Including myself, everyone she thinks is a noble person was actually the one who lent a helping hand first.

Because the villagers of Xianhe Village helped deal with the funeral affairs when her parents passed away, when she had some ability, she built a waterwheel mill and a factory in the village so that everyone could have more jobs, sell more mountain products, and have more income at the end of the year.

She also contacted the loan shops in the city and lent money to all the villages in Shang'an County at no interest to build water wheels to help them survive this year's drought.

There are tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese raised on the mountains here. That’s her preparation for the locust plague that might come. Not to mention that she went deep into Yubei Mountain for a month just to find the most insectivorous birds.”
