Chapter 1079: Chapter 345: Revenge is Served, Danger Approaches_4

Mo Yan’s talent was beyond question; in her first life, she achieved such accomplishments and accumulated utmost merit. Now, with "Space" and Xue tuanzi’s assistance, she believed as long as she worked hard, her achievements would certainly not fall short of her first life.

To comprehend the thousands of variations of Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles was no easy task, even with "Space" acting as a time-bending cheater. It was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Yet, even so, Mo Yan’s progress still greatly astonished Doctor Du. Numerous times, he took pride in his discernment for having casually taken such an exceptionally intelligent apprentice under his wing. The more he taught, the more careful he became, afraid a single misstep would ruin such a promising young talent.

Time passed without notice, and winter arrived—one of the coldest months of the year. As long as the weather was clear and frost fell at night, a thick layer of ice would form on ponds and along riverbanks.

In the fields, there were several puddles that barely contained any water in winter, the deepest reaching only knee-high. Once frozen over, they solidified completely, turning into children’s favorite playgrounds during winter days.

On the tenth day of the winter month, it was a time for the Mo Family to gather together.

Urged by their friends, Zhenzhen and Yun Zhao hurriedly finished their rice porridge and, each grabbed two buns. Heeding their father and sister’s instructions, they dashed out of the house, eager to skate on the frozen puddle.

In this era, there were no ice skates. Ice skating meant one person squatting on the ground being pulled across the ice by another who was standing, or sitting in a vehicle similar to a sled from a previous life, being pulled along.

Such a sled could only seat two people, and one person could pull it, so usually, three children would take turns playing this way.

"Oh no, there are too many people here, and the place is too small. It’s so easy to bump into someone. It’s not fun at all. Should we find another spot?" asked a kid named Danzi, part of Zhenzhen and Yun Zhao’s group, right after being knocked down again, rubbing his sore buttocks as he suggested.

Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up, "Where to?" He too felt that this place was lacking in excitement; a larger area would be more fun.

Danzi pointed towards the distance, "Over there, there’s another ice puddle. It’s a bit far and smaller than this one, but it’s enough for the three of us to play."

Zhenzhen frowned, his gaze sweeping over the bustling icy surface, "But playing just the three of us isn’t fun either. Isn’t there a bigger place where we can draw half of the crowd from here to play?"

Danzi thought about it and felt the same; however, he knew only a few ice puddles, so he shook his head, "That’s it. There’s only the one I just mentioned that’s a bit larger. The others can’t even accommodate a single sled."

Yun Zhao was about to suggest making do and playing here for a while when an older youth came over, "Aren’t you guys looking for a more spacious place to play? I know a good spot. How about I take you there?"

"No way!" retorted Zhenzhen coldly, "If you want to go, go by yourself. We’re not interested."

Yun Zhao and Danzi nodded in agreement, their expressions sour.

The reason the three children showed such disdain was that the fourteen-or-fifteen-year-old teenager, still with a runny nose, was none other than Sister-in-law Wang’s third son, Wang Cai.

The Wang Family’s reputation had long been tainted; none of the village children wanted to play with them, so they usually kept to themselves. This ice puddle did not belong to any family, so although they could come to play, others couldn’t prevent them.
