Chapter 91: Kang Zhi Xia, this time I hope you've grown a brain

"I'll tie your waist to mine, otherwise you keep swaying and I can't tie a knot." Ning Hanmo quickly said.

Kang Zhi Xia now doesn't dare say a word, just lets others do as they please, completely unlike when she first arrived.

Ning Hanmo quickly took another rope, first securing the two people's bodies in the middle.

Kang Zhi Xia's arm already had a blood mark from being bound, but Bai Zhi, when tying him, was careful, actually padding something at his wrist; although it was tied a bit tighter, it only left a red mark, with no external injury.

Although suspended in midair, swaying, the difficulty of tying a knot increased linearly.

But there was no other way; Ning Hanmo furrowed his brow, then wound the rope around Kang Zhi Xia's waist once, tied a knot, wound it again, and tied another knot.

Afterwards, he pulled hard to check the knot's sturdiness.

"All right, wait for me to throw the rope over."

Ning Hanmo shouted loudly, then untied the rope that had been binding him and Kang Zhi Xia, and then threw this end directly over the hanging tree trunk.

The distance here is quite close; although the rope is a bit light, it's not difficult.

Watching Ning Hanmo do everything, Kang Zhi Chun shouted, "This is our final difficult spot; everyone must exert their full strength."

"Especially... the ladies."

As she shouted, she gave several people a firm, trusting look.

Those people, disregarding their own sweat-soaked bodies, began to press downward.

"Now one person needs to go out, Ning Qiancheng, you go out."

"I'll say one, two, three; everyone, control your strength, stay steady, Ning Qiancheng, slowly let go. Remember?"

Can't blame her for being too careful.

Losing one person would cause an imbalance of strength, possibly leading to danger for Ning Hanmo.

She had to say it bit by bit, tell it bit by bit, so everyone could be mentally prepared, and avoid whatever could be avoided as much as possible.

"One, two, three, withdraw."

Everyone exerted force together at the count of three.

Ning Qiancheng carefully let go.

Unexpectedly...

We gave too much encouragement... after withdrawing one person, how did Ning Hanmo still walk upward?

But the impact isn't big...

This step is considered past.

On Ning Qiancheng's side, he quickly grabbed the rope, ran to the tree, controlled the distance, wound it several times around the tree, then tied two knots...

"I'm done." After finishing, he immediately returned to the original unit.

With his addition, the person who had just been holding their breath and turned red in the face also breathed a sigh of relief now.

However, Kang Zhi Chun was the one who truly breathed a sigh of relief; she was always ready to go on stage!

Unexpectedly...

"Untie the rope."

"Kang Zhi Xia, shut your mouth, make a sound, I'll chop you!" Kang Zhi Chun shouted angrily; all these things were caused by this unlucky younger brother.

As his older sister, she was embarrassed for him.

At the time she wasn't there; when she later arrived, the two were already fighting.

Before she could even make a move, Zi Wei sister pulled her to the side.

"Oh!" Kang Zhi Xia flinched; women are all tigeresses, mother is, sister is.

No, Jiang Yunchu is even more so! She's the biggest tigeress; is that something humans came up with?

While Kang Zhi Chun was speaking, Ning Hanmo had already untied the rope, then...

"Ah~ ah~ ah~"

What "shut up", what "don't make a sound", under the summons of gravity, are all so insignificant...

The rope was tied tight, but nevertheless, the feeling of vertical downward, that rope still had a little distance.

Kang Zhi Chun's face was grim, showing a tendency to darken; she just knew!

"Shut up."

Before his trailing sound even finished, he immediately realized something was wrong...

Then he hastily covered his mouth; now he could use his hand, although his hand felt numb, as if it weren't his own.

"Everyone, get ready."

Kang Zhi Chun didn't bother with this brat, but looked toward that group of people.

"From now on, it's half a shoe's distance; when I say 'release,' everyone moves together."

She didn't need to wait for everyone's response; just a firm, "Release!"

Several people moved forward together.

After several turns, Ning Hanmo finally felt the sensation of standing firmly on the ground.

This...

Is this what mother meant, that a person should be down-to-earth?

Indeed, being midair is truly uncomfortable...

Just as he was about to rise and pull together with everyone, Kang Zhi Chun looked over.

"You rest; now you can't exert any strength."

Kang Zhi Chun, nine years old, she is the first child of the second branch, and the daughter most cultivated by the Second Madame.

Although she is a girl, in the second branch there is basically no distinction between male and female.

After all, the Second Madame is a woman of the battlefield; how could she look down on her own daughter?

Good.

Yue Yue hurried over, picked up a bowl of water, and said, 'Yue Yue take, brother hurts.'

Ning Hanmo was about to reach out when the little girl dodged, and the bell moved with her, emitting a clear, tinkling sound.

'Yue Yue take, brother hurts.'

The little girl's eyes were red; looking at Ning Hanmo's bloody hands, her gaze was full of worry.

Ning Hanmo wanted to reach out and hug Yue Yue, but he had no strength at all.

Yue Yue placed the water at Ning Hanmo's lips; his pale lips sipped the water little by little.

This water was sweet and quenching.

It was fed to him by his little sister.

'Brother, want more?' Yue Yue's big eyes looked at Ning Hanmo; the little girl held back her emotions and did not cry.

Ning Hanmo was about to reach out and ruffle her hair, but——

He silently put his hand back.

On the other side, everyone worked together, yet it was only half a shoe's distance away, bit by bit……

'This is the last time.'

Kang Zhi Chun looked at the distance between Kang Zhi Xia and the ground, then, for the last time, said, 'Release!'

Everyone's steps moved forward bit by bit, stopping when they reached half a shoe's distance.

This became their mutual understanding.

'I finally came back to life.'

Kang Zhi Xia sighed, being suspended, he almost forgot who he was.

Kang Zhi Chun stepped forward, looked at him, and said, 'Kang Zhi Xia, this time I hope you've grown a brain.'

She said nothing more, but went to fetch water, bowl after bowl, delivering it to the rope-pullers' hands.

Nobody spoke, nor did they bother about cleanliness or dirt; everyone just sat on the ground like that.

A moment……

A group of people walked in from outside the gate.

It was an old man with a white beard; he looked at the miserable state of the courtyard—not to mention…… it looked as if it had been robbed, a complete mess.

'The Princess Consort has ordered: come over to treat the injuries of all the young masters and misses.'

The manor doctor smiled warmly, like a kind old man.

When Ning Hanmo and Ning Qiancheng saw the familiar medicine bottle in the manor doctor's hand, they knew the medicine was Jiang Yunchu's.

Especially Ning Hanmo.

Nobody knew that Jiang Yunchu's medical skills surpassed the manor doctor's; the leg that the manor doctor couldn't heal was cured by Jiang Yunchu herself.

However, he did not say it.
