"I don't think this old man is very optimistic about General Mu and his group's actions," Hong Xiaoduo said to the person beside her, watching the donkey cart drive away.
Quan Jinghuai paused for a moment and said, "The sea is the territory of pirates. Even if there are naval troops here who are good at naval warfare, the local tyrants are the pirates."
The imperial court was ineffective and didn't place much importance on the navy, therefore...
Before he finished speaking, Hong Xiaoduo understood. The gist of it was that in a battle at sea, the navy might not be able to defeat the pirates!
After lunch, Hong Xiaoduo adjusted her mindset and earnestly taught the children new characters, a new poem, and some short English phrases.
An hour later, Hong Xiaoduo didn't know if she hadn't eaten enough at noon, or if she couldn't resist the temptation of the exchange system. Using the excuse of going back to the tent to catch up on sleep, she went back into the space.
Never mind, she wants to eat snail rice noodles.
I opened the redemption system interface, found the food section, but wait, where's the snail rice noodle? Why can't I see the redemption option?
What's going on? Hong Xiaoduo was very puzzled, so she left a note on the paper for Old Man Luo asking what was going on.
Is there something wrong with the system design? But everything else is still there, only the snail rice noodles are gone.
After leaving a message, I was about to leave the space when Old Luo came online.
"You've come at the right time. Let me ask you, where's the snail rice noodles? I remember having them. Why is this thing you designed so unreliable?" Hong Xiaoduo asked anxiously.
Old Luo on the wall laughed: "Xiao Duo, listen to me, I deleted the snail rice noodle post. It's like this, recently there have been reports that snail rice noodles contain odor enhancers."
Regardless of whether it's true or not, I deleted it because I was worried it would be bad for your health.
Don't worry, I've already ordered someone to buy snail rice noodles. I'll personally test them to see if they contain any odor-enhancing agents. I'll also check what those agents are made of and whether they have any health effects.
If the test results are negative, I will still add it back to the shelves.
"I'll just have one pack to satisfy my craving. It's not like I eat it every day or at every meal. Is it really that big of a deal? Aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?" After hearing Old Man Luo's explanation, Hong Xiaoduo wasn't so angry anymore. She wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her!
"That's not how it works. As the saying goes, illness enters through the mouth. If we can prevent it, why shouldn't we take precautions? We can't let momentary cravings make us neglect our health."
"If you don't take good care of your health, no matter how much money you earn, it's useless," Old Luo earnestly advised.
"Wait, speaking of making money, I just remembered, can't you give me a little savings account? Do you expect me to find odd jobs to support myself?" Reminded, Hong Xiaoduo quickly asked about the serious matter.
"Xiaoduo, you've wronged me. Look at what I've prepared in the exchange system. Can't you see my sincerity? I'm giving you gold and silver, why wouldn't I?"
"I've tried so many methods, but nothing works," Old Luo said helplessly.
Well, it goes without saying that this must be the work of his unreliable father or grandfather, who must have imposed some kind of restriction on the original system.
"Looking at you, your face seems a bit rounder. You must be living a comfortable life, right?" Old Luo said cautiously.
However, he also noticed that when he called her Xiaoduo, she no longer glared at him and forbade him to call her that.
"Life isn't exactly tough, but it's all thanks to kind people. I'm perfectly capable of doing anything, and it doesn't feel right to rely on others for a living." Hong Xiaoduo thought to herself, "Aren't you going to help me find a solution?"
"Xiao Duo, you're a nice person, you're popular wherever you go." Old Man Luo was very happy for her.
"That's right, if there's nothing else, I'll head out first." Hong Xiaoduo said goodbye and left the space. If she couldn't eat the snail rice noodles she had been craving, she wasn't interested in eating anything else right now.
The next day, when Tian Shu and his companions were doing their morning exercise with their master on the beach, they discovered a corpse washed ashore. Quan Jinghuai was just wondering whether to report it to the authorities when yamen runners appeared on the shore.
When I called them over, I learned that fishermen had also reported a dead body found on the beach early that morning.
Are there corpses elsewhere?
When Hong Xiaoduo got up, Yao Guang rushed to tell her about the discovery of the corpse.
"Brother Quan, what's with the corpses? Did General Mu and his men rush to the shore while suppressing bandits? How could they have gotten there so quickly?" Hong Xiaoduo asked curiously.
Quan Jinghuai shook his head; he wasn't sure about that either.
For three consecutive days, bodies washed ashore.
On the fourth day at noon, Hong Xiaoduo was watching Tian Shu and the others prepare lunch.
Then they heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw several people in military uniforms. They dismounted and went straight to Quan Jinghuai: "We've returned from suppressing the bandits. The general said that you are the greatest contributor to the successful suppression of the bandits this time."
Therefore, I was specially ordered to come here to invite you all to the military camp to have a meal with us.
Quan Jinghuai was about to say that he appreciated the gesture, but he wouldn't go eat there.
But after looking at Hong Xiaoduo, he asked her, "Xiaoduo, do you want to go?"
Several soldiers looked at Hong Xiaoduo, thinking to themselves, "You can make the decision yourself, why do you need to ask a young lady for her opinion?"
"Do you want to go?" Hong Xiaoduo noticed the reaction on the soldiers' faces and simply asked the seven children beside her.
The soldiers were even more puzzled. Why were they asking a child?
"You and Master decide." Tian Shu didn't dare to make a decision rashly, so he cleverly threw the decision-making power back to him.
"Then let's go?" Hong Xiaoduo said.
She was actually very curious: had the second-in-command, who had escaped so quickly and decisively, been caught?
He abandoned his brothers and didn't even save them. Did he actually manage to rise to power?
Seeing that she meant to go, Quan Jinghuai nodded.
Hong Xiaoduo wondered if she should pack up the tent and such.
The soldiers then spoke up, saying that one of them would stay behind to help watch the things.
"No need, let's just load the stuff into the car and not come back here," Hong Xiaoduo said.
No matter how fun the beach is, you can't stay there forever. The wind is too strong and the UV rays are too intense. It's okay for tourists to stay for a few days.
Upon hearing her words, the soldiers immediately offered to help dismantle the tent. However, once they started moving, the several burly men from military backgrounds were stunned by Tian Shu and the others' movements. Their actions were just too swift!
Look how quickly they pack up their tents, how neatly they fold them, and how little space they take up!
When we get back, we'll have them show it to the brothers in the barracks. They're not even as good as a child this age.
An hour later, Hong Xiaoduo and her group arrived at the military camp. The soldiers they encountered along the way all looked at them with curiosity.
The look in their eyes as they looked at Quan Jinghuai was one of admiration; the successful suppression of the bandits this time was all thanks to him!
The look in their eyes as they gazed at Hong Xiaoduo and Feiyan was somewhat fervent...
