Chapter 858

Behind the bamboo forest is a forest extending into the mountains.

There is a river in the woods and the source is in the mountains.

Ning Tao came from the mountains and now goes to the mountains, which is the opposite direction of Yecheng.

"Mother, there are mushrooms!" Not far into the woods, Ding Ling found the mushrooms and ran to the place where the mushrooms were found with a basket in her hand. She was very happy.

Xue Weiyang was also in a good mood and said with a smile: "don't laugh, sir. Linger's scalp is a little skinned, but she is very sensible."

In such a difficult living environment, even children like Ding Ling will be honed to be mature and sensible. As the old saying goes, the children of poor families are in charge early. She lost her father since childhood. Her mother is weak and sick. She is also supporting this stormy home with her thin little shoulders.

Ning Tao smiled and said, "I wish I had such a sensible and clever daughter."

He really wanted to have a daughter, but the stomachs of the five women in the family were not good. No matter how hard he tried, their stomachs never reacted.

He felt it, but the listener seemed to have another understanding.

Xue Weiyang secretly looked at Ning Tao with the remaining light from the corner of her eye. There was a faint blush on her cheek and hesitated for a while. She asked aloud, "where are you from, sir?"

"Penglai." Ning Tao said.

Xue Weiyang was surprised and said, "Penglai Fairy Island?"

Ning Tao smiled and looked at her: "there is an island next to Penglai Fairy Island. In fact, I haven't seen any Penglai Fairy Island. After all, it's a legendary place."

Xue Weiyang was slightly relieved: "just now, I thought you were an immortal."

Ning Tao just smiled and looked at Ding Ling, who was pursing her ass and picking mushrooms on the ground. He really liked the little girl. If any of the five women in the family gave him such a daughter, life would be perfect.

"Sir, is there anyone else in your family?" Xue Weiyang asked again.

Ning Tao was slightly stunned for a while. After thinking for a while, he said, "my family is in another world. In this world, I am just a person without roots and Ping Ping, wandering everywhere."

"Oh." The corners of xueweiyang's mouth showed a trace of happiness. I don't know what I'm thinking or happy about.

Ding Ling came back with a basket. Her small hands were full of mud. There were two small mushrooms in the bamboo basket. This mushroom is not enough for her to eat two mouthfuls alone, but she was very happy and handed the basket to Ning Tao: "uncle, look, what a good mushroom."

Ning Tao touched her little head and said with a smile, "linger is so powerful. You and your mother pick wild vegetables here. I'll go elsewhere and have a look and order some wild meat."

"Uncle, I'm going too." Ding Ling looked at Ning Tao eagerly.

Ning Tao wanted to refuse her, but seeing her innocent and pathetic eyes, he couldn't harden his heart.

Ding Ling is clearly not his daughter, but he doesn't know why, but he wants to treat her as his own daughter. It is said that his daughter is the lover of his previous life and the intimate little cotton padded jacket of his life. He, who has no daughter, is ill with his daughter. He hesitated for only two or three seconds, and then changed his mind: "OK, let's go together."

"It's very kind of you, uncle." Ding Ling put her hand around Ning Tao's leg.

"Linger, don't be naughty." Xue Weiyang taught a lesson.

Ding Ling hurriedly loosened Ning Tao's legs and hung her head. She didn't dare to see her mother.

Ning Tao picked up Ding Ling and put it on his shoulder: "go, uncle, take you to hunt."

"Giggle..." Ding Ling smiled happily, holding Ning Tao's head in her small hands full of mud.

I'm afraid this is the first time in her life that she has been held high and rode a horse?

Her father never gave her such a small cotton padded jacket welfare. Today, Ning Tao came to give it to her.

"Sir, I can't, I can't." Xueweiyang hurried down the tunnel, chasing Ning Tao's footsteps.

Ning Tao simply trotted up.

A sad look.

The woods were full of Ding Ling's crisp laughter.

Ning Tao didn't intend to go far. After riding a horse for Ding Ling for a while, he stopped and awakened the state of looking and smelling of his eyes and nose. In an instant, the scattered weather field came into his view, and thousands of smells came into his nostrils.

Some small animals in the woods, even ants crawling in the grass, could not escape his sight.

If he wants to be a hunter, China has a history of thousands of years. If he is second, I'm afraid no one dares to be first.

He quickly locked a prey, not far ahead, on a grassland behind several trees, which was a Swertia. It is gnawing at the grass on the grass, sticking up its ears and maintaining instinctive vigilance.

Ning Tao took Ding Ling off her shoulder and whispered, "uncle has found the prey. Stay here and I'll catch it."

Xue Weiyang came over with a curious look on his face: "Sir, you don't have a bow and arrow. How do you hunt?"

Ning Tao smiled: "I never use bows and arrows in hunting."

With that, he bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, and then crept to the direction of the Swertia.

If he didn't deliberately keep a low profile, he shot him in the flesh and flew over. He was said to be a Swertia, and even birds couldn't escape. But it's better to keep a low profile, otherwise it will be difficult to get along if you are really treated as a fairy.

Behind Ning Tao, Ding Ling's dark eyes were full of childlike innocence and worship: "Niang, uncle is so powerful that he can hit prey with stones."

"Keep quiet, or you'll scare away the prey." Xue Weiyang was a little nervous. Her eyes had never left Ning Tao's back. Her eyes were very different from those of Ding Ling.

What a woman in troubled times wants and needs most is a sense of security, and she can get an unprecedented sense of security from Ning Tao. I don't know why, staying with Ning Tao, her heart is very peaceful, and many hardships and dangers seem to have left her.

Ning Tao didn't notice the different eyes of the snow behind him. He sneaked behind the row of trees and leaned out his head.

The Swertia didn't find anyone close at all, and it was impossible to find it, because there was no sound at Ning Tao's feet, and even his breath was shielded.

Ning Tao suddenly waved his arm, and the stone flew out.

Whoosh!

The stone is cracked and there is a sound.

The Swertia, who was eating grass, raised its head, but before it saw anything approaching, the stone hit its head. With a dull sound, it fell down and died in an instant. It was very simple.

Ning Tao walked over, picked up the Swertia and turned back.

"Uncle is so powerful!" When he came to see Ning Tao put back with a Swertia, he ran over and was very excited.

Xue Weiyang was stunned: "Sir, did you really hit the Swertia with a stone?"

Ning Tao smiled: "I'm just lucky. If I have a bow and arrow, I'm willing to use a bow and arrow."

"Uncle, will you stay?" Ding Ling suddenly said such a sentence.

Ning Tao was slightly stunned. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

If a widow with a little daughter stays with a man, isn't that what it is?

"Linger, don't talk casually. Some, some can't say." Xue Weiyang's face was flushed, ashamed and anxious.

Ding Ling said, "Mom, you obviously want your uncle to stay, but you don't dare to speak, I dare to speak, and uncle, will you stay?"

Xue Weiyang raised his hand: "you, you talk nonsense again, I'll hit you!"

Ding Ling stubbornly said, "I'll tell you if you hit me."

With that, she also made a face at xueweiyang.

What a clever child. He can see his mother's mind and seize the opportunity. I'm afraid that even in the modern society more than 2000 years later, such IQ and EQ can crush the vast majority of children. But think about the reason why she is so mature and careful. Isn't that caused by this difficult environment? Her cleverness and intelligence also bring a little sad feeling to people.

The slap raised by Xue Weiyang was not willing to fall on Ding Ling's small ass after all, but took the remaining light from the corner of her eye and glanced at Ning Tao.

Ning Tao was embarrassed and had a headache.

He is destined to be just a passer-by. He doesn't know when to leave. The only thing he knows is that the time can't be very long. If he stayed as a redundant son-in-law, wouldn't it be a dream in the end?

If it was another woman, he wouldn't even think about it. But she was the Dan spirit who was looking for Zu Dan. He was obsessed with the woman he wanted to find and take away.

"Sir... If you are a child, don't take it seriously." Xueweiyang's eyes were lost and darkened, and his mood was much lower in the twinkling of an eye.

Ning Tao put away his thoughts and said with a smile, "there's nothing wrong with staying. Let's go back and eat meat today."

"You..." Xue Weiyang couldn't believe his ears.

Ning Tao just smiled at her, with kindness, righteousness and expectations in his eyes.

Ding Ling held xueweiyang's hand: "Mom, why are you stunned? My uncle told us to go back."

"Oh." Xue Weiyang just regained his mind. He didn't dare to look at Ning Tao's eyes and walked home with his head down. But when carrying Ning Tao, his face was full of happy smiles.

If this matter is put in modern times, widows must also ask the man if he has a house, a car, how much money he has, how much he earns every month. But in this ancient times of chaos and chaos, there is no stress. It is the greatest wish to live. If you meet the right one, you can make do with it. What's more, she still picked up a treasure. There's nothing unhappy about it.

"Woof, woof..."

The sound of dogs barking and people running came from the depths of the woods.

Xue Weiyang and Ding Ling suddenly became nervous.

Ning Tao awakened his eyes and frowned at the sight.
