Xia Shumin chatted with her mother-in-law happily for a long time.

The two studied the map together and finally came to the conclusion:

The correct parts of this map are very detailed, and the wrong parts are completely wrong.

If you follow the picture to find out what you are looking for, you are guaranteed to be deceived.

"Pity."

Grandma Qing sighed: "I don't know what kind of means the painter used to draw the mountains and rivers geography in such detail, but the wrong place is so far away, so frustrating."

Xia Shumin bit her lip to hold back her smile.

She didn't dare to say that this map was made by Mr. Chen who came from the illusion of Lihen Heaven and Earth, lest Granny Qing turn around and tell her mother.

However, Xia Shumin is also sure of one thing:

The illusion of Lihen Heaven and Earth where Mr. Chen lives is very different from the world of Zhao Kingdom where she lives.

The earth is round, and the world of Zhao State has a round sky and a round place.

Alas, when can I contact Mr. Chen again?

She hasn't chatted with the young master in letters for two days. She now reads her poetry book hundreds of times a day, and the reminder "Please be patient" is still stuck there.

If she had known earlier, she would have discussed it with Chen Ji and invited her to meet him.

"Girl."

Grandma Qing looked at her and said with a smile: "Did your map come from the Western Regions?"

"Uh-huh."

Xia Shumin nodded guiltily.

"It's quite strange that there are such rare treasures in the Western Regions. I'll go and take a look when I have time."

Grandma Qing said calmly.

Xia Shumin really wanted to say, mother-in-law, you should stop learning from Master Tripitaka when you are older. It would be difficult to reach Tianzhu, not to mention Shenluo.

"I heard that you are still looking for weapons for self-defense?" Granny Qing asked her again.

"Mother-in-law, how do you know? Ah, it must be that garrulous girl from Luzhu who is talking nonsense!"

Xia Shumin puffed up her mouth and made up her mind to pinch Luzhu's mouth again that night. It was not reliable at all!

Mother-in-law Qing smiled and said: "Even I have heard about it, and I'm afraid Madam will hear about it soon. Let's see. My mother-in-law traveled around the world and met a few people who made thunderbolts. They can explode loudly when thrown, and they are quite powerful."

, it’s perfect for defending yourself and driving away thieves.”

"Thunderbolt?"

Xia Shumin knew about this insidious thing. Among the storytellers in restaurants and tea shops, this thing was considered to be the best among the insidious people. It was the most used by people in the demon sect. Righteous gentlemen were hit by it every time. Moreover, the thunderbolt bullets would also emit poisonous mist, which confuses people.

Smoking, or those cigarettes, are particularly destructive to a woman's reputation and are absolutely abominable.

but.

If it is for personal use, it is a good thing...

"Okay, okay."

Xia Shumin agreed, but asked embarrassedly: "Mother-in-law, how much is this thunderbolt? All my monthly money this month has been used to buy books."

She doesn't have a small treasury.

Buying books can buy you money.

I don’t know how many times her mother told her this.

"It's okay. Let him get credit first. The county governor's daughter won't default on his debt."

"Um, okay."

Xia Shumin agreed again.

She wanted to complete Mr. Chen's commission as soon as possible.

If she really has no money to repay, she will write more novels and sell them to booksellers. As long as she signs half of them with Mr.'s name, she should be able to make a lot of money.

Granny Qing said: "I asked the craftsman to add poisonous smoke to the thunderbolt for you. Don't worry, he has an antidote for you. You can take it within half an hour. You don't have to worry about accidental injury."

Xia Shumin nodded again, but she wanted two more things: "Mother-in-law, I also want a more sophisticated crossbow and a sword. It doesn't need to be too long or heavy. A short sword is better... I don't know how much these will cost.

silver?"

She roughly knew that a good sword cost a hundred taels of silver, and that the black iron repeating crossbow made by the Mo family's mechanism technique was even more expensive, and that it was impossible to buy it with a mere twenty taels of silver per month.

It seems that selling books will be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"What do you want a crossbow for?"

Granny Qing glanced at her and said, "With your skills, you can't hit someone with a crossbow. You might as well throw a thunderbolt to make a noise and let others come to save you."

Xia Shumin's face turned slightly red and she said sweetly: "Mother-in-law, just buy it, I'll use it!"

"You girl, I'm afraid you don't want to give it to someone else... Anyway, my mother-in-law went out to kill an enemy before and picked up a dagger from him. It was quite sharp, so she put it somewhere else. I will bring it to you in a few days."

She openly told the story of her murder in front of the county magistrate's daughter, without covering up the matter at all.

Xia Shumin, who was raised in a boudoir, was not panicked or scared. She was just curious: "Was my mother-in-law a heroine who entered the world back then? What was her unknown name?"

"It's okay not to mention the past."

Grandma Qing stood up, and Xia Shumin quickly went to help her, "Grandma, please walk slowly."

"Ah."

Mother-in-law Qing looked at her deeply and said, "My junior sister, the princess, has raised a good daughter..."

"Shu Min."

A voice came from outside the garden. Xia Shumin turned around and saw her mother standing there with a smile, followed by two old ladies who said nothing.

"Madam is here."

Mother-in-law Qing said calmly and walked out of the garden, "Girl, you are here, I will go and have a few words with your mother."

"oh."

Xia Shumin stood still, watching her mother and mother-in-law standing face to face, their lips moving slightly, but she didn't hear what they were talking about.

Weird.

What is the origin of Love Granny?

Isn't her mother the eldest lady of the Lu family? How could she know a Jianghu person?

After the mother-in-law left, the county guard's wife, Xia Shumin's mother, Lu Rui, walked into the garden, raised her hand and flicked her finger on her daughter's forehead.

"Oh, mother~ Why are you punishing me, my daughter again?"

Xia Shumin threw herself into her arms and acted like a baby, with grievances written all over her little face.

Lu Rui was unmoved and asked her: "What are you doing these days? Holding a similar poetry book all day long, do you want your father and I to find you a husband?"

"No! Unless the other party can fly on an iron bird~~~"

"Nonsense, what kind of iron bird is flying?"

Xia Shumin giggled.

"Why do you need a self-defense weapon? You want to break into the world? You are a little girl who is tired of even walking on horseback, but you still learn how to practice swordsmanship? Why do you need a dagger?"

"Did your mother-in-law tell your mother?"

"Silly girl, someone said they would give it to you, but you still took it seriously."

Lu Rui scolded her.

The witch went to get the dagger, but the Liuyue Dagger was still in the hands of that so-and-so of the Demon Sect. She had to kill him before she could get the dagger.

The stupid girl foolishly believed it.

"I don't want her for nothing!"

Xia Shumin vowed: "Daughter, I want to write a book. Mom, please help me find a bookseller. When I sell it, I will give you half of the money~"

"What novel do you want to write again? The last time you wrote about martial arts and immortality..."

Lu Rui shut her mouth.

"Martial Arts Enters Immortality? Isn't that a book that no one reads?"

Lu Rui sighed. The bookseller died, and many of the people who bought it also died. Of course, no one read it.

But you can't say these words, lest your daughter be frightened.

"What are you going to write this time? I'll tell you after reading it."

Lu Rui pulled her daughter to sit down.

"This time I want to write about Iron Bird Flying!"
