Gu Xin was almost asleep when she heard Gu Shouxin coughing, so she sat up.
She thought Gu Shouxin had caught a cold, so she planned to put a jade bead in the water for her father to drink.
After putting on my clothes and coming out, I saw two figures.
If it weren't for a sudden flash of lightning illuminating the way, she would have thought a thief had broken into her house.
The father and daughter moved in unison, pulling back the foot that had stepped out the door, and then turned around.
Gu Xin had already lit the oil lamp with a tinderbox. After seeing her father and sister's attire, she paused for a moment, then asked, "Father, sister, are you going to rob someone?"
"Yes, are you going to rob someone?" Cai Xiaolian came out of the house at this moment, suppressing a laugh, and asked.
This little girl has quite the imagination!
On this stormy night with thunder and lightning, the Gu father and daughter, dressed in black, went out to commit robbery.
Gu Shouxin glanced helplessly at Cai Xiaolian, then said to Gu Xin, "Xin Xin, Dad and my sister are going to deal with a bad guy. We'll be back in a bit. We didn't tell you because we didn't want you to worry."
Gu Nian nodded, then asked suspiciously, "Xin Xin, did you read any strange stories?"
Gu Xin shook her head: "I can't read storybooks. I only recognize the names of my family members. It was my uncle who said that people who wear black clothes and cover their heads with only their eyes visible at night are robbers."
The time-traveling trio: "..."
What exactly did Uncle Gu teach the Gu family children?
"Father, sister, if you go to deal with the bad guys, can I go?" Gu Xin asked again.
"Of course you can't go!" Cai Xiaolian pulled Gu Xin to her side and laughed, "Do you have your father's and sister's skills?"
Gu Xin shook her head in frustration.
“So, my daughter and I will just stay home and wait for them, okay?” Cai Xiaolian added.
“But it’s raining outside, and there’s thunder and lightning. Can we go on a sunny day? I’m worried that Dad and my sister will get wet,” Gu Xin said.
“It’s alright, we have raincoats at home. Since Xinxin is worried, let’s go warm ourselves by the fire in front of the stove and wait. We can also make some ginger water for your dad and sister to ward off the cold,” Cai Xiaolian said.
"Alright then! Dad and sister, please be careful and come back soon. Mom and I will be waiting for you at home." Gu Xin nodded and then gave her no further instructions.
Gu Shouxin and Gu Nian looked at Cai Xiaolian with gratitude. If it weren't for her, they really wouldn't know what to say.
"Xinxin, stay home and be good with your mother. When the weather clears up, Dad will take you to the county to buy things. Dad will buy you whatever you want." Gu Shouxin patted Gu Xin's head and said gently.
"Xinxin is such a good girl! In a couple of days, I'll make something nice for her." Gu Nian added.
She felt she couldn't fall behind; her father was giving gifts to Xinxin, so how could she, as the older sister, not give any?
Cai Xiaolian locked the door and returned to the kitchen. She saw Gu Xin with a serious expression and her right fist clenched tightly, looking extremely cute.
She couldn't help but pinch Gu Xin's already thin face and laughed, "Our Xin Xin is so cute! What are you thinking about?"
"Mother, I've made up my mind!" Gu Xin clenched her fists and looked up at Cai Xiaolian with a solemn expression.
"What decision have you made?" Cai Xiaolian asked curiously.
"I've decided that from now on, I can't just randomly practice Dad's boxing moves in the mornings. I'm going to learn them seriously, I'm going to learn them well. That way, Dad and my sister can take me with them when they deal with bad guys. I can also protect Mom with Dad and my sister!" Gu Xin said with a determined look in her eyes.
