Chapter 174: 113, 114. Ghost Servant wanders like a zombie, tigers and leopards show their prowess, animal skin painting (Major Chapter - Subscription Request)_5

And during this process, the new recruits of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry also grew rapidly.

As for the other Spear and Shield Army, Song Cheng found it somewhat difficult.

The difficulty lay in temporarily being unable to find a suitable leader.

However, since Su Houzhang was sealed, there had been no further assassinations.

This gave Song Cheng and Ling more time to spend together.

On this day, autumn leaves whirled down from mid-air.

The weather had not been unusual; compared to the nearly freezing cold of this time last year, this year was just a bit chilly and bleak.

Returning in a hurry, Song Cheng, clad in mysterious armor, saw Ling yawning, sitting on a stone bench, while Ting sat on her lap, drawing on the table with a serious expression.

Song Cheng had grown accustomed to this scene.

Sister An still had to manage the business association, especially in this time when the "boundary between farming and commerce" was blurred.

Sister An seemed determined to also manage "farmland" and "livestock."

The prefectural city area was vast, with plenty of farmland, and even more with new land reclaimed.

The prefectural city also had Pearl Mountain, which had grass, making it entirely possible to raise cattle and sheep.

If this were in another city, An Chenyu’s operation would surely cause great conflict, but in today’s Hanping Prefecture... they were practically one family. No one objected to whatever An Chenyu did.

So, the task of caring for Ting was mostly left to Ling.

Scenes like today’s had been seen by Song Cheng many times, but he never tired of it.

At this moment, with a smile, he walked forward to appreciate his daughter’s artwork.

Today was the beginning of autumn; his daughter should be drawing leaves, right?

But as he got closer, he stood frozen for a long time.

No...

What was this drawing?

He could see that Ting was still drawing rabbits.

She persistently drew the same thing.

It wouldn’t have mattered if it was just that.

Today, she had drawn a peculiar "mirror rabbit."

What was a "mirror rabbit"?

It was two rabbits, left and right, with their heads connected, somewhat symmetrical on both sides.

Sensing someone approaching, Ting looked up. Recognizing it was Song Cheng, her eyes visibly brightened, and she called out in a soft, childish voice: "Dad."

Song Cheng said: "Ting, what are you drawing?"

Ting babbled: "Crazy, crazy, crazy..."

Song Cheng: ???

He turned to look at Ling.

Ling shook her head, indicating she didn’t know either.

...

...

Song Cheng originally thought that drawing a "mirror rabbit" on paper was strange enough.

But at the end of the year, he was once again astonished by his daughter.

God knows what Ting and An Chenyu had "discussed," but An Chenyu brought back a few pieces of "leather."

Nowadays, Miss An was the legitimate Boss An, managing many "farmlands," "livestock," "shops" in the prefectural city...

And these "leathers" came mostly from the full hides removed during the slaughtering of pigs and sheep.

With a casual word from An Chenyu, someone delivered high-quality hides.

Thus, there was this winter scene.

This winter, the Ghost Tide did not come.

When Song Cheng returned from training soldiers outside, he saw Ting lying in front of the furnace, seriously drawing on a piece of sheepskin.

The warm glow of the furnace illuminated Ting’s fair, delicate face and focused eyes.

Song Cheng cautiously approached.

Hearing the movement, Ting turned her head, saw it was her father, and immediately asked for a "hug."

After a hug, she continued drawing.

Song Cheng patiently watched.

Ting drew another "mirror rabbit" on the sheepskin.

The difference this time was that the "mirror rabbit" had a larger gap at the connection point.

After finishing the drawing, Ting happily looked at the "rabbit on the sheepskin," then held it up high, saying to Song Cheng: "Crazy, crazy, crazy."

Song Cheng laughed: "How is it crazy?"

Ting looked at her father with a hint of dissatisfaction, then tilted her head, pondered, and said: "Real, real crazy, really crazy."

Song Cheng: ???

Ting raised her small hands, enclosing them together, then opened and closed them while saying childishly: "Clack, clack, really sharp."

Father and daughter stared at each other in silence for a moment.

Suddenly, Song Cheng had an epiphany, saying: "Oh, you want to use scissors to cut along your drawing and then use a needle and thread to sew it together into a little rabbit, right?"

So, the Northern Region Blade King rummaged through boxes, found scissors and needle and thread, and began helping his daughter with her craft.

After a long while, a strange-looking object that could barely be identified as a leather rabbit was finished.

Ting took the leather rabbit and hugged it happily.

Her happiness made Song Cheng happy too.

Although his daughter, at barely ten months, could express herself simply, which was quite precocious compared to children from ordinary families...

Song Cheng knew that because his constitution was special, it was likely that his child would be special too.

As long as she was healthy and happy, there was nothing more to worry about.

After sewing the rabbit, the family gathered to have their New Year’s Eve dinner.

Madam Tong, with her large belly, looked like she would give birth soon.

Strangely, Madam Tong hadn’t encountered the same problems as An Chenyu; she didn’t feel cold, and her belly wasn’t chilly either. Everything was normal.

About this, Song Cheng couldn’t understand the reason either.

He happily looked at his small family.

Just then, he suddenly felt the Skull Double Fish Jade Pendant stir.

He took it out...

A hazy moonlight...

On the other side, a scene appeared: Lady Zhushan was sitting in a camp.

"Grandmother, Happy New Year."

"Teacher, you are even more beautiful."

Song Cheng greeted with a smile, offering New Year’s blessings.

Lady Zhushan briefly greeted him back and then fixed her gaze on Song Cheng, saying: "The Six Towns have been defeated. The bandit leader has been beheaded. The remaining soldiers, including the townspeople, have been dispersed and sent to East Sea State and Feng State. You can rest easy now."

Song Cheng was truly stunned...

This, was it really defeated?

It was just inexplicable.

"Thank you for the news, grandmother."

"The Northern Barbarians have also gained many benefits and can move further inland. There aren’t as many Ghost Servants inland. Song Cheng, when will you also find a way to head south..."

As she spoke, the moonlight became hazy again, and the skull heads of the double fish turned normal.

The moonlight’s "energy" was exhausted.

Song Cheng put the pendant away and began to enjoy the feast with his family.
