“The little one is so cute, and you’re so smart! Yes, I’m not a bad person, I was just passing by and happened to come in…” Wan’er squatted down, opened her arms, and wanted to hug the child.
This time, the older child didn't stop the younger one. His gaze was strange; he simply stared coldly at Wan'er. At the same time, he raised his arm above the younger child's head, allowing the youngest child to pass under his armpit…
Seeing the adorable child running towards her, Wan'er's heart almost melted.
But when they were almost there, the pair of eyes that had been clear suddenly revealed a hint of cunning.
"You!" Wan'er sensed something was wrong and tried to get up, but found her limbs were weak and she couldn't move...
The child's eyes sharpened, and suddenly he raised his hands, palms facing forward. Countless dense, thin white threads shot towards Wan'er, hissing as they wrapped around her, instantly covering her completely...
At this moment, Wan'er suddenly felt short of breath, had difficulty breathing, and felt weak all over.
"Pfft!" Something strange happened to her legs; a beam of red light appeared, and Wan'er slumped down. Her red tail reappeared...
Soon, only the area above Wan'er's eyes remained, with a huge red tail appearing outside the silk threads...
"Sixth brother, well done, hahaha..." The eldest brother gave the sixth brother a thumbs up, and Wan'er heard a group of children's triumphant laughter.
Oh no, this kid is so clever for his age. I was careless and fell for his trick. Wan'er sighed, but there was nothing she could do.
"Oh, it's a big fish! Grandpa's got some nutrition now." Through the blurry vision, Wan'er saw a few rare whiskers on the children's chins. The eldest child, quite experiencedly, stroked his long beard, his face full of smiles. "Brothers, carry her away! Give her a good wash!"
"You, you..." Wan'er wanted to speak, but found that her mouth was already tightly covered, so she could only keep the words in her heart.
"Stop! Release her, she is our honored guest!" Just as Wan'er was in a state between sleep and wakefulness, a sharp shout suddenly came from the stream.
In a daze, Wan'er relaxed and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, a kind-looking old man with a white beard and sharp eyes was looking at her. Wan'er blinked and suddenly woke up. Wasn't this the old man from her dream?
"Greetings, Spirit Lord," the old man in white bowed deeply, his hands clasped together. "Please forgive the children for their ignorance. I will bring them here to apologize to you."
"So it was your child." Wan'er moved her hands and feet, her white beard was gone, and she was sitting on a sandy slope. The old man in white standing in front of her was the old man she had seen in her dream, but there was no one behind the old man...
"Stop hiding! Come out now!" The old man turned and stepped aside, waving his hand and shouting behind him, "If you do something wrong, you should dare to apologize, otherwise you're not a good child."
Where are the children? Wan'er blinked, and in the blink of an eye, several beams of white light appeared in front of her. With a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" the sand churned and several chubby little boys jumped out, lined up from tallest to shortest, and stood behind the old man.
"Quickly apologize to the Spirit Lord!" The old man said solemnly, pointing at Wan'er.
