Chapter 279 Four Little Apprentices
After Qian Qian killed the man in black cloak, he took out kerosene from the space and threw it at his corpse.
A huge fire burned the black cloaked corpse, and the system's power was used to pull the opponent's head closer.
Looking at that slightly childish yet handsome face, Qian Qian pondered.
[Tongzi, are there any melons? ]
The system was silent for a long while, [The last hurricane seemed to be caused by this guy. ]
【I can’t eat the rest. 】
System annoyance.
Qian Qian threw the head into the flames, [It's okay, this guy is already dead anyway. ]
Looking at the vast black grassland, [But this guy appeared suddenly. 】
[I just turned my head and he was right in front of me. ]
System anxiety, [Princess, I'm sorry, I, I,]
[Don’t take it to heart,] Qianqian stared at the dying flame in front of him.
[Tongzi, there are many people and things in this world that we don’t understand. ]
[This is normal. If an accident occurs, we will find a way to solve it. ]
[You are not allowed to blame yourself, do you hear me? ]
system……
[Wow, princess, how can I not like you? I am willing to live and die for you, and bang bang for you...]
Money money...
【you shut up. 】
After a moment, the flame went out.
The black cloak had been burned to ashes.
Qian Qian stared at the black ashes, [Is this too fast? ]
[No, this is not an incinerator.]
[The temperature of the kerosene isn't that high, right? How long has it been burning? ]
Qian Qian looked up at the sky, [Is there half an hour? 】
The system raised its voice, [Princess, there is something in the ashes. ]
Qian Qian immediately looked over carefully and saw a flash of silver light among the black ashes.
He manipulated the power of the system to move the thing to his feet and picked it up through the handkerchief.
It was a bead the size of a peanut, with a silver-gray color.
【This is……】
Qian Qian hesitated.
The system quickly spoke, [Princess.]
[This, this bead has great energy. ]
【energy?】
Qianqian was a little confused, [No, after a person is burned to ashes, can't we only get relics? ]
[This is…]
[Princess,] the system was certain, [I can be sure that there is great energy in this bead.]
【Well, how should I put it? 】
The system paused, [Oh yeah, the battery.]
[This thing works on the same principle as a battery. ]
Qian Qian's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of Zhang Junmo's puppet.
[Got it,] She was very surprised, [Tongzi, what do you think of giving this thing to Zhang Junmo?]
[Yes,] the system was excited, [Zhang Junmo will definitely be able to maximize the effect of this thing.]
【it is good. 】
Qianqian wrapped the beads in a handkerchief and put them in her small purse.
【It’s such a happy decision. 】
Looking up, the black ashes had disappeared without a trace.
【Here, where are those ashes? 】
【Merged into the black grassland.】
The system explained coldly, [To be precise, it was the black grass that absorbed the ashes.]
[Ugh,] Qianqian felt a little nauseous, [Considering how long we just talked, this is too fast.]
He carefully observed the black grassland for a while, and when he saw that the opposite side was calm, he frowned and turned away...
Zhang Junmo looked at the silver-gray beads on the handkerchief in the princess's hand.
Puzzled, "This, this can drive the puppet?"
He tilted his head as he asked, "How do I drive it?"
"Uh," Qian Qian groaned, "I don't really understand either."
He stuffed the things into Zhang Junmo's hands and said, "I've given it to you now, so you can do whatever you want with it."
"Remember to record the changes clearly when using it."
Zhang Junmo hesitated, "Yes, yes, Your Highness, I obey your command."
【Tongzi. 】
Qian Qian looked at the dark circles under Zhang Junmo's eyes and handed him a red fruit.
Zhang Junmo took it with gratitude.
[Tell me, is there anyone in the Northern Frontier grasslands who can help Zhang Junmo? ]
[I saw him studying puppets these days, and he seemed very tired.]
The system thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Princess, do you still remember Bai Ma who led us here before?"
[Bai Ma's childhood best friend has passed away, leaving behind four little girls. 】
The system sighed, [Alas, the oldest of the four little girls is twelve years old and the youngest is only five years old.]
[Their father has arranged marriages for all four girls.]
【What the hell? 】
Qian Qian was angry, [No, as a father, does he still have any humanity? ]
[Alas,] the system was also very angry, [that living father, he was originally a good father who loved his daughter. ]
[But I was tricked by the nobles of the Northern Frontier into taking addictive drugs. ]
[No, after becoming addicted to drugs, I can’t control myself at all. ]
[In order to change the medicine, I told my four daughters about their in-laws early on. ]
【What about the nobles? 】
Qian Qian's tone was cold.
[They've been dealt with,] the system said, [Didn't I give you a list last time?]
[But the drug supply to that living father is almost gone. ]
[His four daughters couldn't let go of their father, so they decided to sell themselves to pay for their father's medical treatment.]
Qian Qian took a deep breath and was extremely angry for a moment.
He ordered the secret guards to bring Bai Ma and the four girls' family over.
In the evening, Bai Ma and his group arrived. Qian Qian felt very distressed when he saw the four little girls with red cheeks and trembling heads lowered.
He looked at the man lying on the wooden board, with a skinny body, sunken cheeks and dead eyes, and he became very angry.
"Ouyang Nanxin," she ordered in a deep voice, "Go check on that thing."
Ouyang Nanxin pouted, looking unhappy, "Oh."
She walked slowly to the man's side, squatted down and felt his pulse, "Princess," she clapped her hands and stood up, "that two-color flower should be able to save him."
Qian Qian looked at the four girls and asked, "Did you hear that?"
The girls' eyes lit up and they nodded heavily.
Qian Qian raised an eyebrow, "Can you understand Daxia Mandarin?"
The oldest girl bowed awkwardly and said, "There's a female teacher from the government office. She's set up Xinghuo Hall to learn something."
Money money...
He nodded helplessly, "I can save your father, but I have to buy you."
Looking at the sparkling eyes of the four girls, Qian Qian felt sad.
"You will just work with Master Zhang from now on."
The four girls looked at Zhang Junmo cautiously and met his dull eyes.
They stared at each other for a long time, and the worry in the four girls' eyes quickly disappeared.
The eldest sister pulled her younger sisters to kneel down and kowtow to Zhang Junmo, and Zhang Junmo's mouth twitched violently.
He looked at the princess with a resentful face. What does the princess mean?
Is this because you dislike him?
Do you want him to take a female student as his tutor?
But he still has a lot of puppets that have not been made.
He also wants to research puppets that can climb mountains and walk on mountain roads, wuwuwu...
Qian Qian looked at Zhang Junmo's sad face and handed him a piece of paper.
Zhang Junmo took it with a bitter face, and after reading the contents on the paper, his sad face turned into confusion.
He looked at the four skinny little girls whose clothes were patched up with patches on top of patches.
He looked at the princess again and asked, "A genius in mechanical engineering?"
These four little girls?
true and false?
Qian Qian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Anyway, these four girls are left to you."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Junmo's reaction, he looked at Bai Ma's second daughter, Sosia, with curved eyebrows.
He showed her his small white teeth.
Sosia...
There were four charcoal fires in the tent, but why did she still feel cold...
