People forge swords in Lizhu, childhood sweetheart Ruan Xiu falls in love with Ning Yao

Chapter 50: Gifts for Everyone, Official Departure
the next day!
Morning!

"Buzz!"

A small locust wood sword was suspended in front of Chu Ci, shrouded in an inexplicable thick earthy yellow luster, which made this locust wood sword, which had been separated from its roots, not only not wither and flourish, but instead became more vibrant.

Beside the bed there is a set of small locust wood doll statues. Compared with how rough they were when they were first made, with dull and empty eyes, they have now become lifelike, with bright eyes, as if they would come alive at any time.

Finally, there is the door god-like wooden figure of Qi Jingchun, which has not changed much compared to before.

"Buzz!"

The fiery red light on Chu Ci's left arm gradually dimmed, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy around his body became restrained. His eyes opened at this moment, and he raised his palm. He saw that the originally exquisite white lotus had shown signs of deformation.

“Good progress!”

Chu Ci nodded with satisfaction, put away the locust wood sword, the locust wood doll statue and the locust wood man Qi Jingchun.

"Crench!"

Chu Ci stretched, got up, opened the door and walked out.

"Brother Chuci, good morning!"

The thoughtful Ruan Xiu had already prepared toiletries, breakfast, and gifts that had been packed early in the morning.

The fire in the sword hut, which had been silent for a long time, also started to burn. Ruan Qiong was teaching Liu Xianyang how to forge a sword, but the latter did not seem to have much talent in this area.

He was yawning continuously because Liu Xianyang was practicing the family sword manual. That special sword manual allowed people to practice sword in their sleep, which was the envy of countless cultivators.

"Master, Xianyang is gone!"

After having breakfast, Chu Ci put the gift into his belongings and said something to the two of them.

"Fuck off!"

Ruan Qiong replied without even raising his head.

"Brother Chu, have a safe trip!"

Brother Chu and Chen Pingan both went, and Liu Xianyang actually wanted to go with them, but he was not strong enough, so he was suppressed by Ruan Qiong and could only practice for a few years with peace of mind.

Accompanied by Ruan Xiu, Chu Ci walked towards the Crab Archway. When passing the stone bridge, Chu Ci dropped another golden spirit bead:

"Goodbye, Fairy Sister!"

"Ok!"

A response sounded in Chu Ci's heart.

Soon, Chu Ci and Ruan Xiu arrived at the Crab House. Chen Pingan, Li Baoping, and Li Huai, who was pulled over by Lin Shouyi early in the morning and was yawning, were all there.

"Looks like I'm late!"

"Brother Xiaoci/Brother Chu/Brother-in-law!"

The five of them greeted each other in unison.

"Come on, come on, since you are going to study, I will give each of you a gift to bring good luck."

Chu Ci called everyone to his side.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what gift?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huai was the first to come over excitedly.

"Now, it's yours!"

Chu Ci put the set of locust wood figurines in a box and handed it to Li Huai.

There were four people and one horse: a monk riding a horse, a monkey carrying a stick, a pig dragging a nine-toothed rake, and a bearded monk carrying a salute.

"Wow, it's Master Tang and his disciples!"

When Li Huai saw them, his eyes lit up immediately. He picked up each one and played with them carefully, unable to let go. However, Li Huai also discovered a blind spot.

"Brother-in-law, isn't the White Dragon Horse white? Why is this one golden?"

Li Huai held up the horse and asked Chu Ci in confusion.

"Do you want it?"

Chu Ci pretended to take it back.

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Li Huai quickly closed the box and ran to the side with it, fearing that Chu Ci would really take it back.

"Little Aquarius, this is yours!"

Chu Ci took out the small locust wood sword and handed it to Li Baoping.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoci!" Li Baoping excitedly drew his sword and danced with it several times, only regretting that there were no vegetable fields or weeds around.

"Lin Shouyi, it's your turn, come here!"

Chu Ci called out to Lin Shouyi, who was standing aside with envy in his eyes.

"I have it too?"

Lin Shouyi was stunned when he heard this, somewhat unconvinced. After all, he was not very familiar with Chu Ci, so he did not move in response to Chu Ci's words just now.

"Since we have become partners, how can we favor one over the other?"

Chu Ci walked over and handed Lin Shouyi a book with the three-character title "One Hundred Poems".

"Since you like reading, here are some famous poems I collected. You can read them in your spare time. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

There were supposed to be 300 poems originally, but some of them were inappropriate, so Chuci had to be deleted, so only 100 poems were left.

Chu Ci added with a smile:
"Of course, I'm not Mr. Qi, so I don't understand much. I can only try my best to answer you."

Lin Shouyi took the book and looked up at Chu Ci's smiling face. He remembered it deeply in his heart and said solemnly:

"Thank you, Brother Chu!"

"Ok!"

Chu Ci responded, and finally hugged Chen Pingan beside him, with a cunning flash in his eyes.

"Chen Ping'an, it's your turn!"

"I have it too?"

Chen Ping'an's expression was the same as Lin Shou's. Didn't Chu Ci say that he was going to study? He wasn't going to study.

"Of course, but there has to be an exchange for the gift. I will not be participating in the night watch in the future."

Chu Ci had to focus most of his energy on training his left arm.

"You won't be joining the night watch?"

Chen Pingan finally reacted after hearing Chu Ci's words:
"Brother Chu, are you going with us too?"

"Otherwise, do you think I really trust you guys to go?"

Chu Ci rolled his eyes at Chen Pingan, then waved his hand and took out the locust wood man of Qi Jingchun.

"Mr. Qi?"

When Chen Ping'an saw Qi Jingchun's locust wood man, he recognized it at first sight. His eyes turned red and he almost cried.

"If you put some gold copper coins or other immortal coins on it, it can follow us on its own. When you rest, you can also use it to learn about the meridian points of the human body."

Chu Ci stepped forward and injected a little spiritual power to stimulate it. Then red meridian lines appeared, connecting the 365 acupuncture points of the human body.

"He even has some impressive fighting abilities."

"Thank you, Brother Chu!"

How could Chen Pingan refuse such a specially-designed gift from Chu Ci?

However, Chen Ping'an, who was staring at Qi Jingchun's locust wooden man, did not notice the triumphant smile on Chu Ci's lips.

The gift Chu Ci gave to Chen Ping'an certainly would not cheat Chen Ping'an, but it could cheat others.

Qi Jingchun, ah, Qi Jingchun, you, the fish, just walk into my trap obediently for the second time.

"Brother Chuci!"

However, Ruan Xiu saw Chu Ci's sinister smile.

"Cough cough!"

Chu Ci heard the shout and quickly restrained himself, saying seriously:
"Xiu Xiu, brother is leaving. I will bring you a gift when I come back."

"Uh-huh!"

Ruan Xiu nodded.

"Stop playing, let's go, let's go!"

Chu Ci called back the playful Li Baoping and the hiding Li Huai.

"Goodbye, Sister Xiuxiu!"

Everyone said goodbye to Ruan Xiu, and the group of five set off on their journey.
