Chapter 269: Teaching Her Basic Skills

Early the next morning, Bai Wei sent Li Hong to the station.

Li Hong looked at Bai Wei and opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Bai Wei.

"Mom, I don't want to bring up other matters."

"We will be in touch after you go to the provincial capital."

Li Hong's eyes turned red. "Xiao Wei, Mom is doing this for your own good. Relatives are family after all; there is a blood connection, so you shouldn't be too heartless..."

The high-speed train arrived, cutting off her words.

"Mom, it's time for you to board," Bai Wei said, then turned and walked away without looking back.

Relatives are family?

What a joke.

Relatives with blood ties wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood.

On the contrary, friends without blood ties, villagers, and the soldiers of Daliang... protected her at every turn.

Bai Wei saw things as clearly as a mirror.

However, she did breathe a sigh of relief that Li Hong was going to the provincial capital this time.

The distance from here to the provincial capital is not short.

Once Li Hong goes to the provincial capital, it won't be easy for her to come back and cause trouble.

After seeing her mother off, Bai Wei was in a good mood and bought several large buckets of family meals on her way back to the village.

In the afternoon, she returned to the Farm.

As soon as Bai Wei pushed open the door, she was stunned on the spot.

"Quack, quack, quack!"

"Woof, woof, woof!"

Cangyun and Dahuang, one bird and one dog, were tangled together in a fight in the courtyard.

Feathers were flying everywhere, and dog fur was falling out.

Bai Wei had not expected them to fight and immediately got angry, stepping forward to scold them.

"Dahuang! Cangyun! Stop fighting!"

The bird and the dog were fighting with such vigor that they didn't listen to her at all.

The courtyard was a mess, and the dried corn piled under the windowsill was scattered all over the ground from the fight.

Furious, Bai Wei grabbed a wooden stick. "If you don't stop now, I'm going to beat you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bird and the dog stopped immediately.

Dahuang ran to her feet with a whimper, looking extremely aggrieved.

Bai Wei looked up and realized that the bird and the dog had been fighting over the dog food.

Cangyun came from Daliang and had never eaten dog food; seeing the dog food in Dahuang's bowl, it had wanted to run over and have a taste.

But Dahuang wouldn't let it, so the two of them started fighting.

After figuring out the cause, Bai Wei was both annoyed and amused.

She took out several family meal buckets and placed them on the ground.

"Here, I've told you both not to fight over food."

"I brought you something delicious."

The family meal buckets were filled with Fried Chicken legs, Fried Chicken wings, chicken wraps, chicken nuggets...

The aroma of the Fried Chicken immediately made the bird and the dog drool!

"Woof, woof!" Dahuang immediately pounced forward, wagging its tail excitedly, and began to gobble up one of the family meal buckets.

Bai Wei smiled and picked up a Fried Chicken leg, throwing it to Cangyun.

"Come on, you have a taste too."

Cangyun agilely stretched its neck and caught the chicken leg.

Suddenly!

A light of surprise flashed in its small green-bean eyes.

"Quack!"

—Delicious, this kind of Fried Chicken leg is so delicious!

Cangyun abandoned Dahuang and began eating the chicken leg without even lifting its head.

It had never eaten such delicious Fried Chicken legs before; it couldn't get such good things in Daliang.

The dog and the bird finally lived in peace, eating the family meal buckets side by side.

Bai Wei smiled and threw the remaining chicken legs over as well.

She had bought these from the city specifically to reward them.

Compared to unreliable relatives, the dog and the eagle she raised were much more loyal.

At this moment, Chen Ming walked over with a broom.

"Come, A Ming, you have some too." Bai Wei smiled and handed him a family meal bucket.

Chen Ming was pleasantly surprised and immediately dropped the broom to run over.

"Sister Bai, this, is this for me?"

"An extra meal for you."

Chen Ming was overjoyed and began to eat while holding the family meal bucket.

A crisp cell phone ringtone sounded.

Bai Wei picked up her phone, saw that it was Zhou Yuchuan calling, and pressed the answer button.

From the receiver, Zhou Yuchuan's anxious voice came through immediately.

"Bai Wei, are you alright right now? I heard from Professor Ye that it was people from the Bai Family who brought thugs to the Farm."

"Yes," Bai Wei sighed inwardly, "but they have already been taken away by the Police Station, and I have already asked Professor Ye to help me find a few reliable security guards."

Zhou Yuchuan said decisively, "No, how are a few security guards enough? I will transfer a few bodyguards from the Zhou Family from Yanjing to you right now."

"No, no..." Bai Wei hurriedly refused.

She had seen the Zhou Family bodyguards; they were all martial arts experts, proficient in everything from marksmanship and boxing to combat and fighting.

Of course, the bodyguards' salaries were not low either, at fifty thousand per person per month.

"The Archaeology Office is opposite the Farm. I'll transfer a few bodyguards over and have them stand guard at the Farm's entrance; it will also protect the Archaeology Office," Zhou Yuchuan's tone allowed no room for refusal, "Don't decline this matter anymore; your life is more important."

Bai Wei could not refuse, so she hurriedly said, "Then I will pay the cost of hiring them..."

"No need, they are Zhou Family bodyguards; I will pay for it."

Bai Wei felt a warmth in her heart, and suddenly thought of another matter.

"Zhou Yuchuan, is your headache any better?"

Zhou Yuchuan laughed, "After eating your wild ginseng, it is much better; I still have to thank you."

Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, feigning ease.

"We are colleagues on the Archaeology Team, so don't be so polite with me; we are helping each other."

She had already asked Xiao Moting to help inquire about the Zhou Family's curse in Daliang.

As long as the source was found, Zhou Yuchuan's headache should be solvable.

After finishing the call, Bai Wei took five family buckets from the car and sent them over to Xiao Moting.

Usually, Xiao Moting fed her every day, and now she was also giving Xiao Moting an extra meal.

After the family buckets were transmitted over, Bai Wei received a note sent back by Xiao Moting.

But this time, the note sent back was actually over a dozen pages long!

On every single page, there were actually drawings of different little figures.

"What is this?" Bai Wei flipped through the pages Xiao Moting had sent over, feeling a wave of surprise.

At this moment, Xiao Moting replied to the message.

"Bai, after careful consideration, I have decided to teach you martial arts."

Bai Wei was startled.

What?

He wanted to teach her martial arts?

Bai Wei hurriedly replied, "Xiao Moting, I don't know how."

"It doesn't matter, I will teach you starting from the most basic skills," Xiao Moting replied very quickly, "This time you encountered thugs and luckily escaped, but what about next time? You cannot carry a Repeating Crossbow with you at all times, so training your fists and feet well is the foundation of self-defense."

Bai Wei hesitated.

She admitted that what Xiao Moting said made sense; this time, it was because she fell out of the window and sprained her foot that she lost the initiative.

If she were agile, she wouldn't have been so passive this time.

When Bai Wei was in Daliang, she had seen soldiers practicing martial arts.

But she had absolutely no foundation.

Bai Wei flipped through the pages and discovered that many little figures were drawn on them, with each little figure representing a move.

"Xiao Moting, are the little figures on this paper the curriculum you arranged for me?"

Xiao Moting replied, "Yes, practice according to what is on them; I have already marked the order. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me. But in practicing martial arts, one must not give up halfway; persistence is key, and I will supervise you every day."
