Thirty-six sights

  Shizhong brought the things, and Shingen looked at them, nodded and said: "The things on top are almost all ready, and the two missing ones will be ready tomorrow. You can stay here for two days and take a break."

  Jing Yuan thanked the True Person of Changyang and led three junior sisters out.

  The little servant smiled and came over to invite them to rest in the back guest room.

  Changyang Zhenren had only two guest rooms here, of course it was impossible for four people to share equally, so they could only be divided by gender. Jingyuan lived in one room alone, and Jinglan brought two little sisters to live in another room.

  Jing Fei entered the house and curiously touched this and that, and saw a thing she didn't recognize on the shelf. She asked Jing Lan in a low voice: "Sister, what is this thing? Is it a magic tool?"

  Jing Lan smiled and shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just laughable. This isn't a magical artifact, this is an abacus."

  "Abacus? What's it used for?"

  "For arithmetic use. You don't remember last time I took you down the mountain, at Chou Bu Zhuang, there was also one on the counter behind."

  Just by looking at Jingfei's expression, it was clear that she didn't remember. The little girl held the abacus as if it were a treasure, looking up and down, left and right, and asked: "Sister, how do you use this?"

  This would stump even Jing Lan.

  This erudite and knowledgeable elder sister's understanding of this small abacus has also stopped at: business people can use it to calculate accounts, and can calculate quickly and well. However, she hasn't seriously studied how to use it, only seeing people swiftly moving the beads around, not understanding the underlying principles.

  "I know this." Qiuqiu sat down next to Jingfei: "The five beads below, each counts as one. The beads above, each counts as five. One ten hundred thousand, arranged in a row like this..."

  Jing Fei suddenly understood.

  "It's used like this." She excitedly started dialing the abacus beads and turned her head to ask Qiuqiu, "How do you know how to use this thing?"

  "It's been seen before." It's an old story.

  Jing Fei's enthusiasm came and went quickly, soon losing interest in the abacus and setting her sights on a spinning wheel in the house. Autumn also knew how to use it, as her mother would spin yarn with the spinning wheel before she followed Jing Xin Shifu up the mountain.

  Jingfei spun the spinning wheel with a creaking sound, which suddenly triggered Qiuqiu's memories.

  Because the family was very poor at that time, they couldn't afford to light lamps in the evening. So, my mother would often spin some thread during her spare time in the afternoon. I was still young then and not yet steady on my feet, so I would lie down beside her and watch. The spinning wheel creaked slowly as it turned, and the air was filled with fine fibers that shone like golden light in the sun. Sometimes these fine threads would stick to my mother's eyebrows, but she didn't even bother to brush them off.

  Jing Lan's hand gently rested on her shoulder: "Quiet Autumn junior sister?"

  Qiu Qiu snapped back to reality and turned her head to look at her.

  "What's wrong? Are you homesick?"

  Qiu Qiu nodded slightly.

  I really miss home. I miss my mother and sister the most. It's been years since I left home, I don't know how they're doing. When I was with Master and the other disciples, it was okay, but now that I'm in Lishui Sword Sect, she's basically a lone person, except for Da Bai and Er Bai who can still give her some comfort, but as soon as night falls, the silence is deafening, and the emptiness in her heart is especially hard to bear.

  Jing Lan patted her head, smiling and saying: "Alright, Jing Fei stop playing with that thing. You two finally came down the mountain, aren't you going to town? I'll take you both for a stroll."

  Jing Fei suddenly jumped up, throwing down the spinning wheel, and tightly hugged Jing Lan's arm, speaking sweetly and endlessly: "Sister, you're the best! I knew Sister would be most fond of me. Sister, let's go to that silk fabric store from last time? Look at Jing Qiu, she doesn't have many clothes to wear, let's pull out some fabric for her to make clothes. Since Sister hasn't made new clothes this year either, we can do it together. A beautiful person like Sister, dressed in plain clothes every day, what a waste! You should really dress up nicely."

  "Alright, but we have to make three rules: no causing trouble, must be back before dark, and..."

  Jing Fei nodded hastily: "Don't worry, Master Sister. It's not just about the Three Chapters of Law, even if it's thirty chapters or three hundred chapters, there's no problem. Come on, let's hurry up."

  This fart kung fu is really hard to defend against. Jinglan went next door and told Jingyue, then took Autumn and Jingfei out the door.

  The town was even more lively than in the morning, they first went to a silk store. No matter how Qiuqiu tried to decline, Jinglan still bought her two pieces of fabric, one was a tender cherry red and the other was a bright orange color. In Qiuqiu's opinion, these two colors were too delicate, Jinglan compared the fabrics on her: "Hmm, you're still young, wearing this is just right."

  Jingfei also bought a piece, Jinglan also pulled out a piece of fabric, Qiūqiú then bought a big red satin fabric, preparing to make a vest for each of the rabbits in her family.

  Qiuqiu also noticed that Jinglan had bought two other pieces of fabric, one light green and the other ash gray. Neither of these fabrics suited any of the three women, so they must have been purchased for Jingyue.

  Jing Lan's expectations were a bit low, but she wasn't a bad person. Moreover, she had a crush on Jing Yue. Qiu Qiu felt a little sorry for her. If it weren't for Jing Fei inserting herself and causing trouble, perhaps the ones walking together now would be Jing Yue and Jing Lan instead.

  What a romantic setting! Under the moonlight in front of flowers, it's inevitable that sparks will fly between a lonely man and woman.

  There are many people on the mountain, and it's busy. It's hard for two people to be alone together. This time down the mountain was originally a good opportunity to cultivate feelings, but they were ruined by those two again.

  Qiu Qiu is a bit worried, interfering with others' romance isn't a glorious thing to do. It's just that I don't know what Jingyue Shixiong is thinking, he seems to treat everyone equally, and doesn't show any special favor towards Jinglan, treating her the same as other disciples.

  People are too reserved at this time, and they always hide their words in their hearts. This shy love is hard to express, hesitating and procrastinating, and it's unknown when there will be a result.

  But they themselves said it doesn't count. Qiuqiu remembered the gossip about Shifu and Zhangmenren. They had a double repair appointment back then, but that was what their elders meant, and it didn't work out in the end.

  They stuffed all of these into a spatial pouch and continued on their way, the three of them walking forward.

  Jingfei is curious about everything, and she doesn't let go of anything when it comes to eating, drinking, dressing, and accessories. If it weren't for the Qiankun bag, which is an unscientific and heaven-defying equipment, she would probably need a horse-drawn carriage to carry all her purchases! Qiūqiū also bought quite a few things, partly because Jingfei kept urging her on, and partly because Qiūqiū really missed these small eats and trinkets that were full of the flavor of human life. After staying in the mountains for so long, she felt like she was becoming less and less like a person.
