Squeak!

The courtyard door opened, and a woman wearing a white floral cotton robe came into view. Her temples were already slightly gray, and there were crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. Although she was dressed simply, her face was also covered with traces of time.

But it can be vaguely seen between her eyebrows that this woman must have been a great beauty when she was young.

"Sister, please come in."

Ma Danna couldn't help but smile slightly when she heard the word 'sister'.

"You kid, I'm old enough to be your grandma, and you still call me sister, so weird!"

Li Jie had an "innocent" smile on his face, raised his head and said, "You are my eldest brother's friend, so I call you sister. It's just as it should be. I'm not wrong."

No matter how old a woman is, she likes to hear others praise her for being young and beautiful, and the women of the Ma family are not exempt from this custom.

"You're a little kid but you're a big kid!"

Ma Danna smiled and touched Li Jie's forehead, then asked.

"Where is your elder brother? Where has he gone?"

"The eldest brother went down the mountain. He didn't say what he was doing specifically, but before he left, he said that this trip could be as short as seven or eight days or as long as half a month. He has been away for a week. Calculating the time, it should be soon.

Back."

Ma Danna looked at the little Li Jie and said in surprise.

"Your eldest brother just leaves you at home alone?"

Li Jie chuckled and remained silent.

Pretending to be young, a little tired.

It was a showdown and he didn't want to pretend anymore.

When Ma Danna saw this, she couldn't help but think something was wrong, and she couldn't help but feel secretly angry.

This is so irresponsible. How could you leave a child at home?

It's outrageous!

This child looks to be only seven or eight years old. He probably doesn't even know how to cook.

I don't know what he eats these days.

This little kid is so pitiful.

When He Yingqi comes back, I will definitely teach him a lesson!

Ma Danna is a little older than He Yingqiu. In addition, the Southern Mao and Northern Ma families have a long history, and disciples of the same generation treat each other as brothers.

In terms of seniority, Ma Danna is He Yingqiu's senior sister, and she is certainly qualified to 'educate' He Yingqiu.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ma Danna took the initiative to speak.

"Is there any food in the kitchen? Senior sister will prepare something delicious for you at noon."

"have!"

"Okay, you go and play first. I'll call you later when the meal is ready."

Li Jie bowed slightly and said politely.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

Walking into the kitchen, Ma Danna saw the spotless stove, the neatly arranged dishes, and the steamed buns in the cupboard, which further confirmed her suspicions.

This kid only eats steamed buns every day.

'Why should I ask this guy? He is really hard-hearted!'

'This guy is the only one who has the nerve to call me old-fashioned, but I think you are the real old-fashioned one!'

'I asked you to go to Xiangjiang before, but if you didn't go, you would have to live in this deep mountain and old forest. There is no village in front of you, no store in back, and you have to travel dozens of miles to buy tea, rice, oil and salt.'

'Besides, there isn't even a decent school nearby, so I don't have to worry about delaying my children.'

When Ma Danna was young, she hated evil and kept in mind the Ma family's ancestral precepts. Her lifelong pursuit was to capture the zombie king's generals, and she traveled all over the country throughout her life.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks, and every action is just a little off.

Until ten years ago, a generation of zombie king generals completely disappeared.

The last place where the general was seen was in Xiangjiang, so in order to hunt down the general, Ma Danna moved her family to Xiangjiang.

As she got older and older, there was still no news from the generals. Gradually, Ma Danna focused on cultivating the next generation.

Ma Danna has been running around all her life and is well aware of the difficulty of capturing generals. Although Tinker Bell is very talented, she is still young after all, and it may take more than ten years for her to fully mature.

If a general appears during this period, I probably won't be able to defeat him in his current state.

Therefore, Ma Danna thought of He Yingqiu.

The Mao and Ma families were family friends and knew each other very well about each other's abilities. Moreover, He Yingqiu was more than ten years younger than her and was in the prime of life.

If he was by her side to take care of her, she wouldn't be particularly worried even if a general appeared.

In addition, if danger is encountered in the process of capturing a general, the probability of two people escaping is always greater than one person.

The Ma family has been protected by divine dragons for generations. Even in desperate situations, she is still confident that she can resist the generals for a moment and buy He Yingqiu time to escape.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Ma Danna noticed the potion on the table. She knew this thing. It was the exclusive potion for Maoshan Hunyuan Zhuang, but the quantity seemed a little wrong.

This portion is more than three times the standard portion.

That kid outside can digest it?

Ma Danna couldn't help but shook her head secretly, why should she beg this guy? He is so brave, and he is not afraid of encouraging others.

Maoshan is from the Taoist lineage, and practicing Maoshan Kung Fu emphasizes step-by-step, which is completely different from the Ma family. Especially in the foundation-building stage, if you rush for success, it will easily lead to an unstable foundation.

If the foundation is unstable, future achievements will be limited.

As for the Ma family, although they also have to learn various Taoist techniques, in the final analysis, what they compete for is blood and talent. As the women of the Ma family grow older, their magic power will also increase.

The higher the blood concentration, the stronger the magic power.

But the Ma family's Kung Fu also has a fatal flaw. Once you reach the age of sixty, it will start to decline.

Ma Danna is fifty-five years old this year and is getting closer and closer to the sixty-year-old mark. Because of this, her mentality has become anxious.

In five years' time, she will be sixty and Tinkerbell will be eighteen.

It’s a little too early to debut at this age.

No matter what, she has to wait until Tinker Bell turns twenty before Madonna can feel free to let Tinker Bell make her debut.

Therefore, the purpose of her visit this time was to invite He Yingqiu to Xiangjiang!

Ding ding!

Boom!

Madonna has traveled around the country for most of her life, often eating and sleeping in the open air, and has already perfected her cooking skills. After a while, bursts of aroma came from the kitchen.

"Junior brother, get ready for dinner!"

In the study room, Li Jie heard Ma Danna's call and put down the brush in his hand.

He spent most of the day practicing drawing talismans.

Talisman seals are Maoshan's special skill. Although he still has no magic power in his body and cannot really draw talismans, the talisman seals look very simple, but it is very troublesome to draw.

Not only can the lines not go wrong, but the output frequency of mana must also be controlled well, so it is necessary to practice in advance.

The lunch was very sumptuous. In addition to the necessary medicinal food, Madonna also made pork ribs and mushroom soup, fried pork slices with bamboo shoots, braised pork vermicelli, and spicy and sour potato shreds.

Three dishes and one soup are a bit wasteful for two people in this day and age.
