Chapter 984: 237: Do you want another slap?
What exactly the favor was, Ni Yang didnât ask further.
But she was somewhat surprised.
Because in all the time she had known Grandpa Du, she never knew he had a compassionate side.
Although Grandpa Du practiced Buddhism, he had a fierce and violent demon living in his heart.
Ni Yang said with a smile, âSo, itâs like that, huh? Since everyone knows each other, thereâs no need to be reserved.â
âUh-huh,â Wu Yanyun nodded.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Ni Yang went to cook, while Du Jiaojiao, who had never cooked before, found the earthen stove intriguing. Rolling up her sleeves, she offered to help Ni Yang.
In fact, the Ni Family also had a gas stove, but Ni Yang felt that the food cooked on the gas stove wasnât as aromatic as that cooked on the earthen stove, so the Ni Family always used the earthen stove.
Ni Yang didnât refuse her offer, smiling and saying, âSister Jiaojiao, then you can help me watch the fire. Iâve already started it; just add some wood if it looks like itâs dying down.â
âSure thing,â Du Jiaojiao declared, patting her chest, âLeave it to me.â
Grandma Shangguan and Grandma Zheng were washing vegetables outside, everyone working well together, and soon the kitchen filled with enticing aromas.
âYangyang, are we going to have roasted chicken for lunch? Your grandfather caught a wild chicken outside; itâs still alive!â Ni Cuihua walked in, carrying a wild chicken.
Ni Yang had just finished stir-frying a dish, âYes, definitely! Wild roasted chicken is the most fragrant.â
Du Jiaojiao asked curiously, âRoasted chicken? Pretty lady, do you have an oven in your house?â
Ni Yang replied with a smile, âNo oven, but we have a natural oven.â
âA natural oven? Whatâs that?â Du Jiaojiao asked.
Ni Yang kept it a secret, âYouâll see in a bit.â
Ni Cuihua passed the wild chicken to Ni Yang, âThen Iâll go light the fire in the bread oven.â
âOkay,â Ni Yang took the chicken with one hand and the kitchen knife with the other, following Ni Cuihua towards the yard.
Du Jiaojiao followed Ni Yangâs footsteps.
She had never seen a chicken being killed before.
The bird was a male wild chicken with shiny feathers, almost as splendid as a little phoenix, extremely beautiful.
Ni Yangâs hand moved, and the knife fell, fresh blood dripping from the chickenâs neck into a bowl of saltwater.
Du JiaoJiao gave a thumbs up, âPretty lady, your way of killing chickens is impressive!â
She had thought Ni Yang wouldnât dare to kill a chicken!
After all, it was a bloody scene indeed.
Ni Yang said with a smile, âItâs just a chicken, no big deal.â
Grandpa Du and Wang Ziqi were playing chess at a stone table, multitasking, and when they heard her, Grandpa Duâs lips curved slightly.
Killing a chicken, for Ni Yang, was indeed a small matter; after all, the person dared to swallow snake gall.
Wang Ziqi, a bit crude, didnât really know how to play Go, and in less than two games, he was utterly defeated. Seeing Wu Yanyun approaching, he was like a man seeing rescue, waving at Wu Yanyun, âYanyun! Yanyun, come here a moment.â
âAre you calling me?â Wu Yanyun pointed at herself.
âUh-huh,â Wang Ziqi nodded.
Wu Yanyun trotted over, âBig brother Wang, you needed me?â
Wang Ziqi stood up from the stone bench, âYanyun, why donât you play chess with Grandpa Du? Iâve lost quite a few games already.â
After saying this, Wang Ziqi added, âDo you know how to play Go?â
âA little,â Wu Yanyun nodded.
âThen take over.â
Wu Yanyun nodded again, and leaned in to sit across from Grandpa Du.
Wang Ziqi truly didnât know how to play the game; he had made a mess of the chessboard, to the point where not even a professional player could turn it around, and Wu Yanyunâs brow furrowed slightly.
This game, without doubt, Wu Yanyun lost.
The second game, Wu Yanyun lost again.
Honestly, Wu Yanyunâs skill in chess was not bad, but the person sitting across from her was Grandpa Du, who was like a war-hardened Asura, capable of killing without a trace. Before Wu Yanyun could respond, she was already sinking deep into the mire.
Wu Yanyun racked her brains, but she couldnât turn the tables even once.
Not everyone was Ni Yang.
Not everyone had Ni Yangâs skills in chess.
After several games, a bored look appeared in Grandpa Duâs eyes. He picked up the Buddha Beads on his right and stood up, âZiqi, you take over.â
âOh,â Wang Ziqi sat down again, only this time his opponent was Wu Yanyun.
Wu Yanyun glanced at Grandpa Du, a flicker of unease in her eyes.
Was it because Grandpa Du thought she was too dumb?
But her chess skills were quite good among her peers; she had even won a school Go competition before.
Distracted by her thoughts, this round she somehow let Wang Ziqi, the complete amateur, win.
