"Is there a bad guy?" Hong Xiaoduo looked around and listened carefully, but found nothing unusual.
Quan Jinghuai nodded, about to say that he was there and there was nothing to be afraid of, but then he suddenly noticed that the person next to him did not show any sign of fear at all.
All that remains is anticipation and excitement!
"I'll go check. You go tell the children to turn off the lights," Quan Jinghuai whispered to them.
"Okay, then Brother Quan, be careful," Hong Xiaoduo whispered.
Watching Quan Jinghuai's figure disappear into the night, Hong Xiaoduo returned to the tent: "Your master said there's something going on, so you should stay put." After saying that, she reached out and extinguished the lantern.
“I’m right outside.” Hong Xiaoduo doesn’t need to comfort the children now.
In the dim moonlight streaming through the tent window, Fei Yan could vaguely see the children. Some had brought stools to sit at the tent entrance, while others tiptoed to the window.
Feiyan had intended to bring her youngest children, Yaoguang and Kaiyang, with her to avoid them being afraid, but she didn't sense any fear from the children.
"Sister Feiyan, don't be afraid, our mother is very powerful." Xiao Yaoguang quietly walked to Feiyan's side and comforted her instead.
Regardless of whether Yao Guang could see it or not, Fei Yan nodded.
However, in this situation, shouldn't Yao Guang say that their master is very powerful?
Outside the tent, Quan Jinghuai, who had returned, looked at the person still sitting by the fire warming herself and thought to himself, "She's quite calm!"
"So, how many people are on the other side?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.
"Roughly thirty or so." Quan Jinghuai replied, while thinking about what his chances of winning would be once they actually clashed.
He suspected that this group of people were from Dalian.
If that's the case, the chances of winning are really slim!
"Xiaoduo, listen to me. I'll catch two cars and leave later. Find a chance to take the children away from that location, find a safe place to rest, and then continue on your way." Quan Jinghuai tried his best to make his tone sound very ordinary.
"Hmm? Brother Quan, you lured them away by yourself?" Hong Xiaoduo immediately grasped the key point.
Quan Jinghuai nodded: "The other side has too many people, this is the only way at the moment."
"Brother Quan, are you sure they're all tough guys? We two have no chance against them? But if they really are that tough, wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to distract them by yourself?"
"Are you planning to sacrifice yourself to protect us?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, somewhat annoyed.
"Don't worry, I can easily get away on my own. I'll come back to find you later. Besides, their main goal is money, so they'll definitely follow our two cars." Quan Jinghuai knew that the man in front of him was not easy to fool, but he had to do this.
He is the children's mentor, and she calls him Brother Quan. In this dangerous situation, if he doesn't step forward, who will?
After hearing his words, Hong Xiaoduo fell silent. Brother Quan had been in the martial arts world for many years and had a lot of experience.
"Alright, since that's the case, then we'll do as you say, Brother Quan. Brother Quan, you must be careful, but you have to wait for me a moment. I need to use the restroom first, otherwise it will be even more inconvenient when we're escaping with the children later," Hong Xiaoduo said helplessly.
Quan Jinghuai, unsuspecting, nodded.
Seeing Hong Xiaoduo walk towards the two cars, I thought she was afraid to relieve herself in the bushes because there was danger in the dark.
He looked at the tent and silently thought to himself, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to continue teaching you kung fu in the future."
I hope that you will all be safe and sound with her, and that you will find a suitable place to settle down as soon as possible.
Although our time as master and disciple was short, if I were to pass away tonight, I would still have someone to pay my respects to on Qingming Festival in the future. I am already content with this life!
As Quan Jinghuai silently bid farewell to his apprentices, he was a little distracted. When he heard the noise and looked over, he saw two cars driving forward and realized what had happened.
The person who just said he was going to relieve himself actually drove the two carts to lure away the bandits.
"That liar." Quan Jinghuai was very annoyed, but he couldn't shout for someone to come back.
He wanted to chase after them, but the conman driving the carriage seemed to be preventing his plan, and drove the carriage very fast.
What will happen to the children if we really go after them?
Quan Jinghuai was furious. He was a man, and this young woman dared to compete with him for such a dangerous thing!
What was she thinking? It didn't matter if her seven disciples didn't have him as their master, but they couldn't do without her as their 'mother'!
"Hong Xiaoduo." Quan Jinghuai gritted his teeth, kicked the dirt on the ground to put out the fire, walked to the tent and softly called to the children, preparing to leave with him.
"Master, where is Mother?" Tian Shu asked upon hearing his master's voice.
Quan Jinghuai was at a loss, unsure how to tell the children the truth. Would they still obediently leave with him then?
They'll definitely all make a fuss about going to find her, right?
Sigh, he would rather risk his life than face his children crying and begging for their mother!
"She drove the car to lure the bandits away, giving us a chance to escape." After some hesitation, Quan Jinghuai decided to tell his disciples the truth. Let them cry, let them make a scene, let them lure the bandits over, at worst they'll face death together!
Alternatively, I could knock all seven little guys unconscious myself and then hide them away.
However, after Quan Jinghuai finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and waited for the children to make a fuss, but he did not hear the scene he expected.
"Master, wait a moment, let's carry our luggage." Tian Shu whispered to him.
If the vehicle isn't there, they can quickly pack up the tent, but they don't have the strength to take it with them. However, they can still take their bedding rolls.
We should take what we can with us, otherwise Mother will have to spend money to buy more later.
"Huh? Okay, luggage? Alright." After hearing his eldest disciple's words, Quan Jinghuai realized he was hallucinating.
That con artist doesn't follow the rules. The children she's with are just like her!
What kind of time is this to be thinking of bringing luggage?
The key question is, aren't they all worried about that 'mother'?
Quan Jinghuai quickly reminded himself that now was not the time to complain about these unimportant things, and focused his attention on listening to the sounds in the distance.
The faint, yet dense, sound of horses' hooves was all heading in the direction ahead.
"Let's go," Quan Jinghuai called out in a low voice.
One by one, small figures emerged from the tent, each carrying something on their backs, even Fei Yan, who was the last to emerge.
"Shouldn't you bring this lantern?" Quan Jinghuai couldn't help but remind Tianxuan when he saw her carrying a lantern.
“You should bring it. This was bought by Mother. It’s not heavy, you can carry it.” Tianji interrupted before Tianxuan could even reply.
Quan Jinghuai was speechless. At this point, all he needed was for them to obediently follow him...
