Chapter 172 Ways to Coax a Child



The moon is bright and the sky is sparse, with a few stars dotting it.

The surroundings seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Only torches were burning near the research institute within the wall in front of the dock.

Wei Xiyin took Wei Guqiu across the suspension bridge and came to the research institute.

The child never leaves his weapon behind, and he holds his own small long tasseled spear in his hand.

The guard at the door saw the figure and quickly opened the iron gate and said, "Miss, Mr. Chu and Mr. Qu are both on the second floor."

Cookie returned in the evening and was upstairs looking through a map, selecting a place to research explosives in the future.

Wei Xiyin nodded lightly, "Who is on duty inside today?" The person she was asking about was naturally the person who stayed behind to observe the monsters at night.

"My lady, it's Mr. Ji." The guard's expression was hard to describe.

Even the guards could hardly bear to watch.

Mr. Ji was in such a miserable state. He had written quite a bit of research report today, but Mr. Chu glanced at it and said that he had not observed it carefully enough and that it was similar to the reports from the previous few days, so he sent it back for rewriting.

After going back and forth, after the hour of You, they were forced to stay and keep the monster company.

Wei Xiyin shook her head repeatedly after hearing this. Those Qingyang soldiers probably didn't know that their eldest son was living in dire straits every day, otherwise they would definitely seek to kill Chu Yu.

Could it be that Chu Yu has developed psychological problems due to being exploited by her?

She didn't stop outside the door, but took little Gu Qiu into the research institute. Pointing inside, she asked, "Gu Qiu, do you know what this place is for?"

Xiao Gu Qiu pursed his lips and did not answer.

After she came back, she never left the fort. She stayed in the camp or the house all day long and had no idea that the changes on this side of the wall were so great.

As for the questions asked by my fifth cousin, I naturally couldn't answer them.

Wei Xiyin understood and treated her as if she were a peer. She continued, "If you want to destroy monsters, you can't rely solely on force. If you fight without knowing the enemy, you will be defeated. You put all your energy into practicing martial arts. It's not advisable to rush for quick results."

A trace of confusion appeared on Xiao Guqiu's young face. He asked in a confused manner, "What does Fifth Cousin mean by this?"

"Have you ever read military books? You know that the art of war emphasizes teaching and admonition first." Wei Xiyin pointed at her precious little long tasseled spear. "Gu Qiu, have you ever thought about how your cousin, though a capable warrior, was able to command the fortress troops? What's the secret?"

The child was stunned and lowered his head to think seriously.

She knew deep down that her fifth cousin was very powerful, but Gu Qiu had no idea how powerful she was and why those guards would listen to her.

A hint of smile flashed across Wei Xiyin's eyes, and she said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. The academy will open in a few days, and Gu Qiu can no longer practice on his own. He has to study with everyone."

"If you want to become stronger, you must first learn to read and write, and understand the art of war. Only then will you understand how I command my subordinates."

Since she had promised Uncle Jiu to guide the child, she naturally had to do what she said. Going to school and spending more time with peers would be a good thing for the child.

But it’s really tiring to coax a child.

You have to beat around the bush and act in a circuitous manner, which is more tiring than killing zombies.

After entering the hall, faint howling sounds could be heard from the corridor on the right from time to time.

Wei Xiyin led Xiao Guqiu directly to the room where Ji Yao was on duty.

Afraid of scaring the child, she pointed out this time: "There are monsters locked up in there. If you're scared, we can go back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gu Qiu walked forward without thinking and wanted to push the door open to enter.

"etc."

Xiao Gu Qiu didn't understand and looked at his fifth cousin in confusion.

Wei Xiyin raised her right pinky finger, plucked the strings with the other fingers, and winked at her. "Let's make a pinky promise first. This is a secret between the two of us, don't tell anyone."

Five-year-old Wei Guqiu is now the focus of the tribe. If people knew that she brought her children out to see zombies at night, it would be a big deal.

Even her grandfather had to come out and punish her personally.

Xiao Gu Qiu pursed her lips and stretched out her delicate little fingers to make a pinky promise with her fifth cousin. "I understand. Fifth cousin, this is all for my own good. Thank you, fifth cousin."

Wei Xiyin patted her head lovingly, "Since you're not afraid, go in and take a look. I have something else to do, so I'll come down to pick you up later."

The cage that holds the zombies is carefully designed with two guardrails in the middle, so people can't get close. It's okay for the little fat boy to howl every day, and she is not worried about the child's safety.

Wei Xiyin told the two guards beside her to keep an eye on the place, then left and went to the second floor of the research institute.

Walk to the stone steps.

Gong Liulang was holding a potted plant in his arms, standing there with a calm expression.

It was obvious that he got the news from the guards after coming in and was waiting for her here.

The two hadn't seen each other for nearly two months.

Wei Xiyin was very familiar with him. Pointing at the thriving plant in his hand, she asked, "What kind of plant is that in Liu Langjun's arms?"

Gong Liulang glanced at her and said, "It's a grafted orange tree. I didn't take special care of it after it was planted, so it grew like this on its own."

He was going out tomorrow, and no one had recorded the growth cycle of the newly transplanted potted plants, so he brought them to the research institute and planned to give them to Chu Yu to take care of first.

As he spoke, he stared at the passage behind Wei Xiyin and asked with a look of disgust: "Is the little fatty still in the research institute?"

Seeing Wei Xiyin nodded.

Gong Liulang added, "He's not howling anymore now. I don't know if he's figured it out or if he's fainted again."

Wei Xiyin didn't know how to answer. Perhaps with Wei Guyu as his companion, Mr. Ji was embarrassed to lose his composure in front of a child.

Without further delay, the two climbed up the stone stairs to the second floor together.

There were two guards on duty at the stone stairs on the second floor. The two gentlemen each had a room, and Chu Yu's door was locked.
