"Bad guys are coming. They'll catch up in a quarter of an hour at most," Xingxing replied, her little face scrunched up like a bun, her brows furrowed.
"Then let's run!" Old Zhou hurriedly got up.
"Why run? We've already rushed enough, and if we run any faster, we'll be too exhausted to fight back. We might as well wait here and recover some strength." Although they had been traveling by carriage the whole way, the dirt roads were difficult to travel on, and the carriage was already bumpy. Running any faster would be enough to shake their internal organs out of their bodies.
"Don't be afraid, everyone be careful. Be prepared to fight the enemy, and we'll get through this safely." Xingxing patted Zhao Guihua's hand to comfort her.
Zhao Guihua composed herself and forced a smile. "I believe what Xingxing says. If you say nothing's wrong, then nothing can happen."
"Jingjing, Xiaoxiaotangguo, you two guard these three positions respectively. Erfu and Sifu, you guard the rear. Dafu, you three, stay with your mother and sister. I'll guard the side..." Zhou Laoda had to calm down and start to arrange the troops in a simple formation.
"Dad, come here for a second," Xingxing waved and called out in her childish voice. When Zhou Laoda came over, she whispered in his ear, "...Later, you should ask Fourth Brother to lead the people over there. Fourth Brother is fast, so he should come back as soon as he leads them over."
Boss Zhou nodded solemnly, then told Wu Fu to take a packet of snake and insect repellent powder and apply it to Zhou Sifu's body, as Sifu had an important mission tonight.
In the wilderness, in the dark, it's hard to spot snakes and insects at night, so it's safer to sprinkle some medicine powder on yourself.
"Tie your boots tight, so they don't fall off while you're running. Running barefoot on the ground and stepping on snakes or insects would be a disaster." Boss Zhou had already told the five Fu brothers what Xingxing had told him, and Si Fu also knew what his main task was tonight.
"Dad, you're confident you can make those people chase after me? What if they don't cooperate?" Sifu asked, expressing his concern.
"Are you stupid? You definitely won't believe it if you rely on yourself. Candy is strong and fast, she'll cooperate with you. The reason I asked you to lead the way is because I'm afraid Candy won't know the way. Those people are coming for the stars, they'll definitely catch up. Anyway, remember the route, don't go the wrong way."
Otherwise, they won't be able to lure that thing over, and they simply can't defeat it.
The more Zhou Laoda spoke, the tighter his brows furrowed. He felt that the idea was not very reliable, but since it was Xingxing's idea, she must have foreseen something, so she shouldn't be wrong.
