Jiang Dai then discovered that after the little guy finished reciting the multiplication tables, he pestered her again, wanting to learn more.
Bai Tian volunteered and reached out to play games with Juan Juan.
A game called "Finger One Plus One".
Two people, four hands. They all start from the beginning. Each time, they can choose to touch one of their opponent's hands. After touching, the sum of the two hands becomes the sum of the two hands. If it exceeds ten, they take the units digit.
For example, if you touch three of someone else's fingers with two fingers, you will have five fingers.
If your finger represents eight and you touch the other person's finger that represents six, then it will become four.
Once you've accumulated exactly ten, you can withdraw one hand early.
Simply put, it's about seeing who has the best math skills and also cultivating foresight—thinking three steps ahead after taking one step.
Juanjuan got really into it and spent almost the entire afternoon playing this game with Baitian.
When I looked out of the carriage again, it was already getting dark.
The grass outside is swaying wildly; the wind is picking up, and the weather is about to change.
Juanjuan is used to it; after all, it's like this every summer.
It can be windy or rainy at will.
Judging from the sky, it should rain soon.
Mu Zhaoyuan naturally knew this as well.
"I remember there's a dilapidated temple not far ahead. Let's hurry up and rest there."
The wind brought down large raindrops, and the small windows on the carriage that had been open were all closed, otherwise the raindrops would have blown directly into the carriage.
The sky was as dark as night, and thunder roared.
Bai Yunqi shivered involuntarily. Jiang Dai noticed and quietly reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Move over here a bit, and let your dad go to the front to block the wind for you."
Bai Tian:?
But looking at the woman and child in front of him, Bai Tian still went to the carriage entrance and took the initiative to shelter his family from the wind and rain.
Bai Yunqi remained silent for a moment, then used his spiritual power to weaken the wind approaching the carriage.
It has to be said that Mu Zhaoyuan has an excellent memory and a great sense of direction; she's practically a living map.
Not long after, they saw the dilapidated temple she had mentioned.
However, the two horses tied under the eaves of the dilapidated temple already told everyone that there were people seeking shelter from the rain inside.
Mu Zhaoyuan glanced back at the carriage behind her and made a hand gesture.
The Mu family army, who were rushing to catch the carriage, immediately stopped.
Mu Zhaoyuan and one of the Mu family soldiers dismounted and went to the dilapidated temple to see what was going on.
Inside the carriage, Bai Yunqi and Bai Yun'an looked in the direction of the dilapidated temple simultaneously.
[Is this... a fight breaking out?]
Juanjuan listened to her two older brothers' thoughts and was initially worried about Mu Zhaoyuan.
Then, Mu Zhaoyuan's voice pierced through the layers of rain and reached everyone's ears calmly.
"Come in."
The Mu family soldiers driving the carriage had no suspicions and followed the rest of the Mu family soldiers into the courtyard of the dilapidated temple.
Bai Tian picked up Juanjuan, draped his coat over the child, and jogged into the temple with Jiang Dai and the others.
Juanjuan lifted the clothes her father had covered her head with, her round eyes secretly watching the scene inside.
There were three people she didn't recognize, two of whom were men who looked menacing and had knives at their waists.
The only woman, with messy hair and tattered clothes, huddled in a corner, trembling.
The next second, Juanjuan saw the woman looking over, and the child was so frightened that she shrank into her father's arms.
Because that face had a hideous scar, and one of its eyes was damaged, a blank white pupil, which suddenly looked up.
Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dimly lit, dilapidated temple. The pair of white, empty eyes looked exactly like a vengeful ghost.
