Chapter 207 Mud Snail
After getting it, Ning Yan realized that this thing was not made of glass, because it was very soft and felt like plasticine. It could be pinched at will, but after letting go, it would elastically return to its original shape.
Ning Jing held the round object in his hand and asked in confusion, "Dad, why do I feel like there's movement inside this ball?"
Moving? After hearing this, Ning Yan reached out and took the ball from Ning Jing's hand to sense it.
But he didn't feel anything moving inside.
"Pinch the other one and you can feel the movement." Huo said at the side.
Ning Yan tried it after hearing this and found that it was true. When he pinched one of them, he could feel movement inside the other one.
So he asked Huo Yu in confusion, "Brother Yu, what's going on?"
"This thing is called mud snail." Huo shook a piece of paper in his hand and explained to Ning Yan.
Ning Yan just opened the box and felt that the things inside looked familiar. After Ning Yan and his son took the things out, he saw the paper underneath, so he picked it up and took a look.
After looking at it, he found that it was called mud snail as he guessed.
"What is this thing used for?" Ning Yan asked.
Huo Yun and Ning Jing also turned to look at Huo Yu eagerly, waiting for his answer.
"After putting this on, if you squeeze one of them, you can sense the position of the other one within a hundred kilometers. It can be regarded as a kind of signal." Huo said.
However, this thing is only possessed by the royal family of Beizhao Kingdom, and it is extremely difficult to make. It requires special clay and a pair of conch shells with red and blue dots on the top, and can only be made through special production techniques.
This thing is usually used by the royal family of Beizhao Kingdom or those who lead troops in war, and it is difficult for others to obtain it.
Huo? I can’t understand why Shang Chenyi has this thing?
Considering his light-colored eyes, it was hard for him not to wonder whether Shang Chenyi was from Beizhao Kingdom.
But if Shang Chenyi is from Beizhao Kingdom, then what about Ye Buli?
Are you sure you won't be convicted of treason for openly making friends with people from other countries?
Ning Yan nodded when he heard this, then handed the mud snail in his hand to his two sons, and took the paper to look at it. Shang Chenyi was quite thoughtful and wrote the name and usage on it.
Even ropes are provided so that you can string the mud snails together and hang them around your neck or tie them around your wrist.
Out of curiosity, the two sons began to pinch it, feeling the vibration inside, looking very amused.
After Ning Yan finished reading the paper, he put it in the box and asked Huo Yan, "Is it okay for us to accept this?"
Hearing about the function of this thing, it doesn't seem like it can be bought with money, so Ning Yan was worried that if his two sons carried it with them, something might go wrong.
"It's okay. This thing is quite rare. Most people can't tell it's the real deal and will just think it's a decoration." Huo said nonchalantly.
If the two sons wanted to carry the things with them, they could put them in their clothes and no one would be able to see them easily.
Ning Yan nodded upon hearing this, and then asked his two sons, "Do you want to take it with you, or put it away first?"
"I want to take it."
"I want to take it too."
Ning Jing and Huo Yun said in unison upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Ning Yan took out the red braided rope from the box, strung them together, and then put one around each of their necks.
After putting it on, he said, "Stop pinching me. It's time for you to go to bed."
After hearing this, the two sons lay down on the bed obediently, but they were still playing with the mud snail in their hands.
When children encounter something new, their curiosity is always very strong, so Ning Yan didn't pay any more attention to them.
Instead, he looked at Huo Xi and asked, "Brother Xi, what were you thinking about just now?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yan told Ning Yan his previous guess.
When Ning Yan heard this, he said, "No wonder Ye Buli hid him so well. Could Shang Chenyi really be a member of the Northern Zhao Kingdom's royal family?"
"Who knows?" Huo said, "I originally thought Ye Buli was a pure-hearted person, but I didn't expect that he was the one who really did great things quietly."
Ning Yan nodded in agreement upon hearing this. If this were a tragic love story with such opposing identities, wouldn't the story be physically and mentally tormenting, and even to death and life, earning enough tears from the readers?
"Go to sleep. No matter who he is, as long as he doesn't come to hurt us, it's fine." Huo said as he hugged Ning Gang in his arms.
Ning Yan adjusted his position in his arms, facing away from him, and said to his two sons sleeping beside him, "Go to bed early, both of you. Don't play too late."
"I understand, Dad." The two sons said in unison.
After that, Ning Jian and Huo Yu fell asleep first. Huo Yun and Ning Jing played with mud snails for a while and then fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Suifeng heard some noise and found out that Ye Buli had sent someone to get potatoes.
Seeing that it was the same dozen people coming to take the things without even a car, Suifeng asked in confusion, "Thousands of kilograms of things, are you just going to carry them back like this?"
How many times do I have to carry this back and forth?
The man who spoke so eloquently said after hearing what Suifeng said, "We have to carry it back, right? Junior Brother Suifeng, you're so pitiful for us, would you mind helping us carry it a few times?"
The man's voice was very artificial, like that of a brothel owner. Every time he heard it, Suifeng would get goosebumps.
He said with a chill, "Can't you speak more seriously?"
When General Xu heard this, he deliberately said, "What's wrong with me? I'm disgusting."
Although the words were outrageous, fortunately this person did not do anything outrageous. He did not give him a finger raise or twist his body before rushing towards him. This greatly reduced the degree of disgust he felt.
Suifeng didn't want to continue such an "inappropriate" chat with this person, so he turned around and asked Sun Huzi, who had just woken up, to go with him to move things into the house.
When Sun Huzi passed by General Xu, he asked curiously, "Brother, are you a man or a boy?"
"What do you think?" General Xu replied in a shrill voice.
After hearing this, Sun Huzi turned around and left without saying a word. Regardless of whether this person was a man or a boy, he was a little abnormal, so it was better for him to stay away from him.
Seeing that the man just left like that, General Xu shrugged his shoulders in boredom. Alas, it's hard to find a soulmate!
After all the potatoes were moved out, these people started to move them.
However, what surprised Suifeng was that these people returned so quickly.
Seeing this, Suifeng wondered if there was a hiding place nearby, or a warehouse or cellar?
However, Suifeng didn't ask too many questions. He was no longer a member of the Dark Night Pavilion, so it was better for him not to ask about the affairs of the Dark Night Pavilion.
These people were very fast and finished moving everything in less than half an hour.
This is good, Suifeng and the others can rest early.
Early the next morning, Han Ping came to the house again, followed by a carriage.
When I arrived, I stated my purpose and said I wanted to buy some potatoes and sweet potatoes.
This crop has a relatively high yield and a relatively short growth period, which is just suitable for planting now and can also solve some of the difficulties of the people.
