Li Pangzi and Gu Jiajia also expressed their opinions.

"You can go back and get back to work without worry. We'll take good care of the villagers."

Xiaoxi's sweet smile tells you that everyone is considerate.

The four of them had gone quite a distance from the cave.

Xiao Xi then said, "Brother Luo, Brother Lu, we're all family now. To save time, let's get something quick!"

Luo Yifei and Lu Ran have been with Xiao Xi these past two days and know her abilities.

When Xiaoxi showed them the bird's nest she had seen at Tianyu Mountain last time, they were still quite amazed.

Xiaoxi has now leveled up and can now draw these advanced flying talismans.

She put a talisman on the bottom of the bird's nest, and when everyone crowded together, the bird's nest took off.

It flew all the way back to the dry-land.

She had already thought it through on the way: why should those who stayed behind do nothing, and then remain neat and tidy after the hailstorm?

This is unfair to those who believed they were evacuating.

Even if they don't get hurt, they should at least be taught a lesson. That's not unreasonable.

Then she would have to prepare the talisman again.

She modified the rubbing of the amulet with a carving knife, since she could always recarve a new one when she got back.

Then, under the lamp, the three boys saw Xiaoxi frantically printing talismans.

Xiao Xi printed a batch and distributed them to Ye Yanche, Luo Yifei, and Lu Ran to put up.

Since they were not cultivators, and fearing that the paste wouldn't stick properly, Luo Yifei temporarily made a paste from flour.

Ye Yanche's luggage was taken back by Xiao Xi, and it just so happens that there are black clothes prepared.

So the three boys changed into black clothes, each carrying a large stack of talismans, along with paste and brushes, and set off.

How come they look a bit like those predecessors from back then? Just like them, doing something hidden yet great. The three boys were so excited that they quietly disappeared into the night.

Xiaoxi was making a talisman when she heard someone coming from outside.

She went outside and saw that the person who came was actually Song Bao'er.

She looked at Xiaoxi timidly.

"Xiaoxi, I didn't have any well water last time..."

“Song Bao’er, stop talking, I know everything. But sometimes, we can’t be accomplices to evil. Many times, we can fight back in other ways.”

Even a young girl shouldn't be weak and let others bully her. She must bravely choose her own path in life.

Song Bao'er burst into tears.

"I also want to live as freely as Xiaoxi, but... I also believe there will be a big hailstorm tomorrow."

"Alright, Song Bao'er, I'm still busy. You can go back now and take this talisman with you."

Since that's how it is, Xiaoxi didn't have time to comfort her. In fact, girls her age have a lot more to deal with.

Song Bao'er quickly wiped away her tears, carefully put away the talisman folded into a triangle, bowed to Xiao Xi, and ran away.

Xiaoxi sighed and continued with her work.

Hmph, didn't the directors swear they'd stick to the live broadcast even if there was a huge hailstorm tomorrow? Well, let them be dedicated to their work then.

So, Xiaoxi went to the production crew's location herself and did something shady.

Three boys were quietly busy in the darkness.

One person kept watch, one applied the paste, and one was in charge of pasting.

They would secretly stick the talismans on the back of their houses. Some families had courtyard walls, so they would stick the talismans in hidden places on the walls.

Just as they were putting up the posters for Song Yi's house, they saw Song Bao'er returning from outside.

Song Yi slapped Song Bao'er on the head, but knew not to hit her face, and then kicked her.

Ye Yanche, Luo Yifei, and Lu Ran could see clearly in the darkness and clenched their fists.

Never mind, they have more important things to do now!

They left immediately; such beasts don't deserve protection.

Another family discovered their whereabouts, tore the talisman to shreds, and cursed them vehemently.

If you don't want it, there's nothing you can do about it.

The three of them made several trips before they finished putting up the talismans. They had to put them on the houses and also in the fields.

Seeing that it was still early, they went back to the rammed earth house to make dinner, played a couple of games, and then carried a few blankets back to the cave from the bird's nest.
