“Alright, I’ll give this person to you. I want to see how the village chief will treat you when he finds out. I’ve lost.”
The man sighed in his heart.
No matter what, he was still inferior to this teacher. There were many things that the village chief had taught him that he could not come into contact with. This person’s skills and spells were above his.
If he fought with the teacher, he would be the one suffering.
He knew this very well.
Although the village chief would not be unable to distinguish right from wrong, he would not punish this teacher severely either. At that time, he would instead suffer.
He did not want to have to recuperate for a few months after the incident. He hated getting sick and injured the most.
After saying that, he left immediately. He had wanted to work in the dark again, but he was discovered by the teacher.
The teacher deliberately shouted, “Don’t come back. Don’t be sneaky either. I can find you. You know that I’m best at this kind of thing. You’d better stay far away. Don’t make me angry. If I’m angry, it means that the village chief will be angry.”
“Alright, you’ve seen through me.”
The man laughed and looked embarra.s.sed. Then, he left and turned to look for the village chief.
No matter what, he had to tell the village chief about this matter. If he could not punish this person, the village chief would definitely be able to.
Seeing that the man had already left, Jiang Ming looked at the teacher. “Although I don’t know what your intentions are for me, I have to thank you anyway.”
“There’s no need to say anymore. I need you to answer something for me.”
The teacher looked straight at Jiang Ming and directly stated his purpose for coming.
Jiang Ming did not expect the other party to be so straightforward. He was a little stunned, but he quickly recovered.
“What is it?”
At this point, he could not help but think of Xu Chuchu for some reason and began to ponder.
Could this teacher be doing this for Xu Chuchu?
However, he shook his head.
It should not be. This teacher did not seem to be related to Xu Chuchu.
Unexpectedly, the teacher spoke calmly in the next second.
“During the wedding, a woman met you. Her name is Xu Chuchu. You might not know her name. But you’ve already seen her face. There’s a white flower in her hair.”
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment. He recalled the white flower on Xu Chuchu’s head and began to play dumb. “I don’t know who she is.”
Although he had argued with Xu Chuchu, their relationship had eased somewhat in the end.
If this person was her enemy, then he could help cover for her.
Unexpectedly, the teacher seemed to have seen through Jiang Ming’s inner thoughts. He smiled and said, “We know each other. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her. I just wanted to ask if she really came over.”
“Don’t you already have the answer? Why do you still ask?”
Jiang Ming also saw through the teacher’s thoughts. He shrugged helplessly.
“I just wanted to confirm it, alright?”
The teacher suddenly lowered his head and rubbed the back of his head like an innocent boy.
Jiang Ming was not curious about this. He continued, “She didn’t have much contact with me. We’ve also gone our separate ways. If you want to find her, you can go and find her yourself. I don’t know where she went.”
“You really don’t know where she went?” the teacher asked dejectedly. “I really want to see her. I haven’t seen her since I was young. I really miss her.”
These words could not help but arouse Jiang Ming’s suspicions.
“You met her when you were young, huh? Then, how could you know that there’s a white flower on her head now?”
“This is her unique characteristic. She used to love wearing white flowers. She told me that she would still wear white flowers in the future. As long as I come to this residence, I can rely on the white flowers to find her.”
The teacher’s eyes lit up and he looked up at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming could feel the deep friendship between the two of them, but he also said helplessly, “Although I really want to help you, I really can’t help you with this matter. I can only tell you that I’ve seen her. That’s all.”
The teacher, however, became inexplicably anxious.
“I think something must have happened between the two of you. Didn’t she mention me? Did she mention the little boy waiting under the eaves?”
Jiang Ming shook his head.
The teacher did not give up on this. He continued, “She should be using the stilling technique, right? She’s looking for you for something, right? You can tell me about this. I don’t have any other intentions.”
Jiang Ming thought for a while and hesitated, but in the end, he told the teacher.
“She wanted me to make some food for her. She heard from others that the food I made could increase spiritual energy and strengthen the body, so she wanted to get the food I made. In the end, she didn’t realize that the rumors were false. My food didn’t have any effect at all. In the end, she ate the food and dispelled the spell before leaving.”
“The dishes you cook have the effect of spells?” The teacher was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled faintly. “She’s still the same as when she was young. She’s naive and innocent. She hasn’t been polluted by the world. Thank you for telling me, Jiu Zhu. Also, let me remind you that the village chief has already suspected you. You should leave quickly. As for this Yellow Gall Gra.s.s… I advise you not to have any unnecessary thoughts. You can go to other places to pick it, but there’s no need to take the risk in this place. There are still many other places with Yellow Gall Gra.s.s.”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Jiang Ming was even more confused.
“Why are you helping me? Could it be because of Xu Chuchu? I don’t have a good relationship with her. Do you want to get something from me?”
He found it hard to understand why the teacher would go to such an extent just for news about Xu Chuchu.
If it were him, he would definitely not do this.
The teacher paused for a moment. Then, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, “You don’t understand how important she is to me. If you meet her again, you must tell me. This is the Thousand Mile Crane. After we find her, we just need to release it and I will know.”
As he spoke, he gave him a small paper crane.
The paper crane did not look like it was made of paper. Those who did not know better would think that it was a sculpture.
Jiang Ming took the Thousand Mile Crane and looked at it from top to bottom. He could not help but smile. “Your Thousand Mile Crane looks both real and fake.”
This sentence made the teacher laugh.
“The things I make are all made of paper, but they are very spiritual. Don’t worry, no matter how you throw them away or destroy them, they will return to you. After all, they already treat you as their master.”
