“Niannian knows! If you also have five brothers, then the eldest brother would be called ‘Luo Dang,’ the second brother would be called ‘Luo Dangdang,’ the third brother would be called ‘Luo Dangdangdang,’ the fourth brother would be called ‘Luo Dangdangdang,’ and the fifth brother would be called ‘Luo Dangdangdang, Dang… Dang?’”
The little dumpling counted on his little fingers, one by one, but he messed up the count. Then he started counting again carefully and obediently. For a moment, the valley echoed with the little dumpling's soft and sweet "ding ding ding".
Finally, the little boy came to a serious conclusion. Looking at his fifth brother, he said in a very serious, childish voice, "Fifth brother, I think it's lucky you're in our family, otherwise you wouldn't know how to pronounce your own name before you grow up!"
As she spoke, the little dumpling proudly puffed out her chest, her dimples deepening, and said in a haughty tone, "After all, there are very few babies as smart as Niannian who can count at such a young age!"
Xuan Di: ...
Is this what they call... when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer?
Xuan Di looked at his younger sister's earnest yet innocent face and suddenly couldn't smile anymore. He pursed his lips, raised his hand, covered her mouth with his hand, and then turned around and pointed fiercely at Luo Dangdang.
"I don't care what you call me! Your ancestor isn't coming back. See that woman over there? If you don't want to be tied up like that and have to roll down the mountain later, quickly hand over what your ancestor told you to protect, then put your hands on your head and squat by the wall!"
Luo Dangdang was already quite annoyed by this group of kids who suddenly appeared. Before he could even get angry, one of the little brats started yelling at him.
"How dare you! Where did this brat come from, barely out of his teens? How dare you treat this enlightened monk... Bah! Such disrespect towards this enlightened monk is utterly despicable! Let me tell you, this is not a place for you to play house! Go back to where you came from!"
Luo Dangdang shouted at the top of his lungs. It was unclear whether he thought he was a million miles away from the little ones and they wouldn't hear him unless he shouted loudly, or whether he thought everyone was deaf. He shouted until he couldn't shout anymore, and even jumped up and down a couple of times. After shouting, he started coughing.
Xuandi nudged Huo Chengche, who was also frowning and looking gloomy, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, are all the Taoist priests in the capital like this?"
Huo Chengche glanced at him, sneered, and retorted coolly, "Why don't you think about it first, Fifth Young Master, are all the enemies of Hengchang like this?"
"Now that you mention it..." Xuan Di really thought about it seriously, then clicked his tongue and said, "Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel that the enemy is actually too normal, except for being a little sinister and twisted."
"An enemy?" The little boy looked up, his clear, dark eyes scanning his fifth brother and then his crown prince brother, and said in a childish voice, "This uncle isn't a bad enemy!"
Um?
Huo Chengche and Xuan Di exchanged a furrowed brow after hearing what the little boy said, then looked at Luo Dangdang.
Luo Dangdang was still coughing when he saw them still standing there. He shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear me? Get out of here! This is a sacred altar that your village built together for the gods. Didn't your parents tell you that you're not allowed to come and play around here? Get out of here!"
Although Luo Dangdang exudes an unreliable aura, he doesn't actually have any malicious intent.
The little boy looked up and saw his older brothers deep in thought. He immediately sniffed the air with his little nose and said, "That's right, the thing that controls the bad snake to do bad things isn't on him!"
Huo Chengche's expression suddenly changed. "Not on him? Then where is it?!"
"Hehehe...Here I am! Die, all of you! I'll make you all pay with your lives! Giant pythons within a hundred miles, heed my command, bite them to death!"
