Xu Jianguo rubbed the little girl's somewhat dry and yellow hair, and said with a smile: "Thank you for trusting me. In fact, in addition to being a soldier, I can also be considered a remarkable person. In short, I am not an ordinary person. Don't be nervous later, I want to take you to a place. We will live there for a while. Are you willing to go?"
Erya looked at Daya beside her and asked, "Brother, is the strange man like the old man with a white beard who can cast spells in fairy tales?"
"Well, almost! But I'm still young, maybe not as powerful as the old man with white beard." Xu Jianguo touched his nose. He felt a bit like a charlatan who deceived children, and said embarrassedly.
I thought the two girls would be scared after I told them the truth, but Erya didn't seem worried at all. She even said excitedly, "Wow, brother is so awesome!"
Xu Jianguo was slightly stunned, looked up at Erya, then at Daya, and only then realized that there was a bright light shining in their eyes.
"Aren't you afraid?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Don't be afraid! You said exactly the same thing as the old Taoist priest. He said that you will definitely be good to us and asked us to follow you well." Erya said.
"Old Taoist priest?" Xu Jianguo asked with a frown, and suddenly he seemed to have grasped something in his heart.
"Can you tell your brother about it in detail?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Okay..." Arya agreed.
In this way, through Erya's slurred narration with a thick baby voice, Xu Jianguo finally understood the whole story, and he couldn't help but sigh at the power of Taoism.
About three years ago, when Erya was not born yet, an old Taoist priest passed by their house and happened to see Daya playing in the yard, so he asked Daya for water.
At that time, Daya was only four years old, so she ran back to the house and found her father. Her father didn't think anything of it, so he poured a large bowl of boiled water, took two cornmeal cakes and came to the yard. He opened the door and invited the old Taoist priest into the yard.
The old Taoist kicked the pancake into his arms, drank the water in the bowl in one breath, and then said some incomprehensible words to Daya's father. Erya could not remember the exact words, but the general meaning was to tell Daya's father that if anything happened to their family in the future, he should not worry about the livelihood and safety of his two daughters, because a young man in military uniform would appear and save their daughters from danger.
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned and left. When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and emphasized again that Daya's father must remember what he said and let his two daughters follow that man in the future and stay by his side for the rest of their lives. That man would treat their daughters like his own family.
While Daya's father was still in a daze, the old Taoist priest walked out of the yard. When he came to his senses and chased after him, the old Taoist priest had disappeared.
Later, Daya's father returned to the house and told his lover what had just happened. The couple thought about it and felt that they must have met a hermit, so they kept the old Taoist's words in mind.
It was not until recently that the two girls' father had an accident and told them about this before he died.
After Erya finished speaking, Xu Jianguo squatted there for a long time without saying anything. After a long while, he looked up at Wen Sitian, only to find that Wen Sitian was also looking at him with a look of surprise in her eyes.
Xu Jianguo didn't know what kind of chess game the Taoist sect was playing, but as long as it didn't hurt the people around him, it didn't matter to him what happened.
Xu Jianguo stood up, exhaled lightly, and said, "Let's go home!"
"Yes!" The three women nodded vigorously.
Xu Jianguo thought about it, and the four people and a jeep disappeared from the spot.
Daya and Erya only felt a flash before their eyes, and then they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment.
Xu Jianguo called Du Yu and Fu Bo through his mind, and then gave Wen Sitian a few instructions, asking them to take the two little girls to familiarize themselves with the environment in the space.
Wen Sitian looked at Xu Jianguo with worry in her eyes. Xu Jianguo pulled her aside and said, "Don't worry, my dear. Judging from the current situation, the Taoist sect has no ill intentions towards me."
"Jianguo, actually I wanted to ask you before. Although you said that the Taoist sect has no ill will towards you, they forced you to find the nine magic weapons by threatening Funniu's safety. Isn't this a malicious threat?" Wen Sitian thought for a long time and finally expressed the doubts in her heart.
"I have thought about what you said. I was also very angry at the beginning, but since the word 'Tao' appeared behind Funniu, I found that her body seemed to have undergone some changes. You know I am not an ordinary person. I can feel that the little girl's physique has become much stronger than before. In my opinion, all of this is developing in a good direction. I have a feeling that after this girl wakes up, her body may undergo some unexpected changes." Xu Jianguo said.
"Really? Are you sure?" Wen Sitian asked, a little hesitant to believe it.
"Well, I'm sure! Let me put it this way, judging from the girl's current physical condition, an ordinary soldier may not be able to catch up with her." Xu Jianguo said.
"Oh, that's great, as long as this girl is okay. I just hope she can wake up soon. I really miss that lively and lovely girl. Although she is by my side every day now, she can't run around me like before and call me 'sister-in-law' all the time. My heart feels like it's being cut by a knife." Wen Sitian said, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.
Wen Sitian had never said these words to Xu Jianguo. He knew that the relationship between the two sisters-in-law was deep, but he didn't expect it to be so deep. He hugged Wen Sitian with some remorse and said softly, "I'm sorry, I know you feel bad, but you have to believe me, I will definitely wake the little girl up as soon as possible."
"Well, I believe you!" Wen Sitian said with sobs in Xu Jianguo's arms.
With the emergence of the system and space, Xu Jianguo has demonstrated many talents and skills that are not suitable for his age since his rebirth. It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but while he was serving the motherland, he neglected Funiu's growth. Until the brother and sister met Wen Sitian at the Red Star Machinery Factory, the two girls who also had no mother seemed to have found each other's support at once and became inseparable from then on.
Xu Jianguo hugged Wen Sitian, feeling extremely guilty, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
