While at the inn, Quan Jinghuai suggested that he deliberately leave for a while to lure the Black Impermanence into making a move.
Ke Hong Xiaoduo disagreed. Her point was that although she also wanted to capture Hei Wuchang as soon as possible and get rid of this guy completely, considering that although the other party's mind was twisted, he was acting so cautiously, so deliberately deceiving him might not necessarily work.
Why bother with all that? Let him follow secretly. Anyway, the seven kids have been brainwashed by her recently, and they don't have those terrifying nightmares anymore when he's mentioned. They do have dreams, but it's about the big guys catching that guy and giving him a good beating.
One night, Tianxuan dreamed that he kicked that bastard, even kicking Tianquan, who was sleeping next to him, to the ground. After waking Tianxuan up, he scolded her, saying that he was having a good time kicking him, and then pulled the covers over his head to continue dreaming.
The children acted this way simply because Hong Xiaoduo kept mentioning it, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that the guy only bullied children, and that once he caught that bastard, he would teach him a lesson and then send him to meet the King of Hell.
Yuheng and the others were also thinking, "Yeah, no matter how powerful that bastard is, he's not as powerful as Hong Xiaoduo."
At first, Quan Jinghuai couldn't understand why she kept bringing up that bastard in front of the disciples, knowing they were afraid of him. Later, he understood her intention and had to admit that she really knew how to eliminate the disciples' fear.
Therefore, he wasn't displeased at all when she rejected his suggestion.
"Let's go a little further and stop to hunt," Hong Xiaoduo said, checking the distance.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yaoguang's little head popped out of the car window: "Mom, Yaoguang wants to eat roasted rabbit."
"I want to eat roasted pheasant," Kaiyang quickly ordered.
It feels like it's been a long time since I've had this; I miss it so much.
"You two gluttons, all you know is eating. The hunting I'm talking about isn't what you're thinking of." Tian Shu peeked ahead, sat back in the carriage, and glared at his younger brother and sister.
Yao Guang was scolded and bit her finger. She couldn't understand why her mother was talking about hunting. What else could it be but wild game?
Kaiyang quickly realized what was going on: "I understand!" he exclaimed excitedly, only to be glared at by his older brothers and hurriedly cover his mouth with his hands.
Then she turned to Yaoguang and whispered, "When Mother said hunting, she meant catching that big bad guy."
Oh, Yao Guang finally understood, but she wasn't embarrassed at all. She even muttered to herself, "Yao Guang is the youngest, so her reactions aren't as quick as her older brothers', but that doesn't mean Yao Guang is stupid."
Feiyan, standing nearby, almost burst out laughing at Yaoguang's words.
She found that she was becoming bolder and bolder, and even knowing what might happen, she wasn't afraid at all.
On the contrary, like Tian Shu and the others, she also looked forward to having the opportunity to fight against bad guys, wanting to help and also to test how well she had learned kung fu.
However, every time they encountered each other, they never had a chance to make a move.
Come to think of it, if even their master didn't have a chance to act, then it was even less likely that they would get a turn.
When their master found out, he told them, "Don't worry, there will always be opportunities for you to gain experience."
"Don't be like this. Didn't Mother already say that after we catch that bad guy, we'll take revenge ourselves?" Yao Guang said again, seeing the regretful looks on her older siblings' faces.
"That's not the same at all. If we could catch that villain ourselves, it would be even more satisfying," Tianxuan sighed.
That's true, but Yuheng still said, "Mother is being cautious because she's afraid we'll get hurt."
Yes, she has always protected everyone so well. She seems like a carefree person on a normal day, but when it comes to dangerous matters, she is the most cautious.
As the children were blaming themselves, the carriage stopped.
"It's all pebbles here, not muddy. Let's stay here," Hong Xiaoduo said, pointing to the roadside.
"Mother, do we need to set up the table and chairs?" Tianji asked from the side.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded: "Just like usual."
Hearing her say that, the children, as usual, busied themselves moving tables and chairs.
However, with days of rain, finding dry firewood was impossible. Fortunately, there was some firewood on the donkey cart, which we unloaded, lit, and used to boil water and heat our dry rations.
Actually, with the temperature like this, and since the dry food was bought in the city this morning, it doesn't need to be heated up at all; it can be eaten directly.
However, she once said that even when traveling, she would not compromise on food if she could, and if she could eat something hot, she would naturally not eat something cold.
Feiyan took out the cooked dishes that the inn had given her, including a large plate of braised beef, and arranged them on the table.
Hong Xiaoduo and Quan Jinghuai sat in chairs, looking at the woods not far away.
"Are you sure someone is there?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.
Quan Jinghuai nodded: "Yes, and there should be several." However, he couldn't be sure of the exact number.
"How can someone like this find helpers? I wonder if they're old acquaintances or if they paid him off," Hong Xiaoduo muttered when she heard there were several people involved.
At this moment, Feiyan brought over a bamboo bowl of heated dry rations and placed it on the table. Hong Xiaoduo reached out, took one, broke it open, put in a few slices of braised beef, added some pickled vegetables, and began to eat the dry ration hamburger with gusto.
Seeing her eat like that, the other children followed suit, breaking off pieces of dry food and picking out vegetables. Quan Jinghuai was speechless. He looked at the dry food in his hand, thought for a moment, and did the same as them.
"Brother Quan, in this situation, if we don't go over, they probably won't come, right?" After finishing her hamburger, Hong Xiaoduo wiped her mouth and asked.
"Mm," Quan Jinghuai replied succinctly.
"Then let's set up camp here. They'll come over after dark, right?" Tian Shu thought for a moment and said.
"Mm," Quan Jinghuai replied simply to his eldest disciple.
Hong Xiaoduo had already poured a cup of hot tea, blew on it, and then drank it.
“That won’t do. Are we going to camp here for them?” Hong Xiaoduo objected.
Upon hearing this, everyone, young and old, looked at her and began to eat their dry rations. Yes, they should hurry up and finish eating before moving on.
All nine people understood it this way, and they all planned to do so.
But the next moment, Hong Xiaoduo stood up and said, "Eat slowly, take small bites, don't rush, watch me." After saying that, she lifted her leg and walked forward.
The two adults and seven children sitting there were all stunned. What was she planning to do? Was she going to go out on her own?
Quan Jinghuai gritted his teeth. It happened again! It happened again!
Can't you consider his feelings a little? Why can't you let him lift a finger once in a while? Quan Jinghuai felt that if this continued, he would be ruined if he only served as the master of seven disciples; his sword would even rust!
"Master, would you like to eat more?" Tian Shu asked, snapping out of his reverie.
