Then, Hong Xiaoduo sat by the window, letting the pattering rain outside affect her hearing, and even opened the window a crack.
At this moment, she was even more annoyed that she didn't have enough exchange energy. Otherwise, she could have exchanged for the alarm monitoring device in the system and used it, which would have been much safer.
Not bad, Yuheng slept very well tonight and didn't have any more nightmares.
I don't know if it was the calming soup I gave her before bed after dinner that worked, or the calming sachet I put under her pillow.
Anyway, as long as the child sleeps soundly, that's all that matters.
It was after the rain subsided in the evening that Hong Xiaoduo bought it from the pharmacy across the street.
Hong Xiaoduo, who is usually a heavy sleeper, woke up in the middle of the night. She washed her face with cold water and felt refreshed. But she figured that even if the Black Impermanence was going to come and cause trouble, it wouldn't necessarily be the night before.
People with dark minds are unlikely to retaliate directly or bluntly.
They can be very arrogant and think they are the masters.
Based on what Tian Shu and others said about his actions towards the children, Hong Xiaoduo analyzed that this bastard was unlikely to directly set fires.
In addition, the weather is not suitable for setting fires.
Just as Hong Xiaoduo was listening intently to the sounds outside, she did hear an unusual noise right below her window.
Wow, that's great! You caught it on your very first night of trying?
Is this bastard so impatient? Hong Xiaoduo subconsciously held her breath, afraid that he would notice and slip away again. Brother Quan once said that people with high-level kung fu have excellent hearing. They can hear very subtle sounds and can judge a person's location and whether they are asleep or awake just by their breathing.
Black Impermanence's martial arts were crippled, but his hearing should still be intact!
Hong Xiaoduo picked up a few pebbles, intending to use them in case the other party escaped, and grabbed a whip in her other hand.
Suppressing his excitement, he wondered if Brother Quan was asleep or not.
Hong Xiaoduo had a new plan. After catching that scoundrel, she wanted to keep him alive for a few more days because she wanted to starve him properly and eat all kinds of delicious food in front of him every day: roast chicken, freshly baked sesame cakes, roast chicken, braised duck, and braised pig's trotters.
Although it sounds childish, that's what she wanted to do.
There should also be a very low cage for him, so that he can't stand up and can only crawl or lie down in the cage.
She planned to have all seven children come up and kick or punch him a few times, but she would never let them see her abusing him.
Hong Xiaoduo wasn't worried about affecting her image in the children's eyes; she just didn't want to affect their mental health.
Suddenly, through the crack in the window, I saw a dark shadow dart upwards from below.
What?! This counts as light-footed skill, right? Is it really as Brother Quan said, that he's regained his strength?
Or, do you have accomplices? Accomplices?
The windows were covered with paper, and the room was dark inside. Although it was raining outside, it was slightly brighter than inside.
Hong Xiaoduo saw a dark shadow hanging down above the window. Just as Hong Xiaoduo was guessing that this bastard was planning to blow some kind of incense into the window, a soft knocking sound came from outside the window.
This has confused Hong Xiaoduo. What does that mean?
The knocking sound continued without stopping.
Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment, then gently stood up and, after hesitating for a moment, gently opened the window.
Then, I saw a ghost hanging upside down outside the window, head down and legs up.
He was dressed entirely in black, his face deathly pale.
The person hanging upside down was stunned. He really hadn't noticed anyone by the window, nor had he sensed any breathing, nor had he heard the slightest sound of someone getting up or getting out of bed. How could they be right in front of him?
Seeing that the other party did not react, Hong Xiaoduo did not rush to make a move.
It was the person outside the window who came to their senses, remembered to pull the stopper out of the tinderbox in their hand, and even brought it close to their face.
Hong Xiaoduo then realized that the dangling thing was a tongue hanging down from this person's mouth! Bright red!
His face was covered in thick makeup, and there was red blood smeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I am a wicked ghost. How dare you occupy my dwelling place?" the upside-down man said in a sinister voice.
The person hanging upside down was also in a state of panic. What on earth was standing in the window? And why wasn't it breathing? Even the most skilled martial artist couldn't hold their breath for so long!
Could it be that we've encountered a real ghost?
"Are you a hanged ghost?" Hong Xiaoduo didn't realize she had scared him. But after hearing what he said and what he did, she felt like she had encountered a fool!
Hong Xiaoduo didn't even realize that she was still holding her breath, even though she had spoken to the other person!
"Aren't you afraid?" The person hanging upside down didn't even notice that his voice was trembling.
After dressing up as a ghost so many times, did I encounter a real ghost?
"I'm scared, you scared me to death." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo quickly stretched out her arm towards the person outside the window, grabbed the person's collar, and pulled them forcefully into the window. "Come here."
The person hanging there had no foothold because their legs were hooked on the eaves. They were also unprepared for what the person inside the window would do. The other person was too quick to react, and before they could even realize what was happening, they were slammed to the floor inside the room with a thud.
“Light it up,” Hong Xiaoduo said.
The next moment, Feiyan, who hadn't slept at all the night before, lit the candle.
The person who was thrown to the ground was lying face down, trying to jump up with their hands on the ground, but they forgot that the person standing next to them was quick.
Hong Xiaoduo lifted her leg and stepped on the person's back. With a little force, the person lying face down felt as if they were pinned to the ground.
The floors of the rooms upstairs in the inn were all made of thick wooden planks, and he could even hear the creaking sound of the planks being pressed down.
"Am I coming in?" Quan Jinghuai's voice came from outside the door.
Feiyan quickly went over and opened the door. After what happened the night before, Feiyan slept in her outer robe tonight.
A string of followers followed behind Quan Jinghuai, all of them awakened by the loud noise from Hong Xiaoduo's room.
Yuheng also got out of bed wearing an outer robe, and hugged Xiao Yaoguang, who was rubbing her eyes and looking dazed.
"You caught them?" Quan Jinghuai came in and, seeing that everyone was safe, breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
“We caught them, but it was way too easy! You guys, come here and settle your scores. Don’t be soft-hearted.” Hong Xiaoduo responded to Quan Jinghuai while calling to the children.
Upon hearing this, Yuheng stepped forward and tried to kick, but he was holding his little sister in his arms and couldn't free his hands.
Tian Shu and the others were stunned for a moment, then rushed over and surrounded the person on the ground, kicking and stomping on him.
"How dare you! Stop right now!" The man lying on the ground was being attacked by a group of people. He was in pain, angry, and annoyed. He tried to break free, but it felt like a small mountain was pressing down on his back, and he couldn't move. All he could do was speak.
Tian Shu stopped first, stood next to Hong Xiaoduo, and whispered...
