"When we arrived, my senior brother and the officials had already gone to rescue the people. Since they learned that they had sent people over, my senior brother was worried that you might be in trouble, so he ordered a few of us to hurry over and check." The one who spoke first was called Dazhi, while the others surrounded the two struggling people.
"That's good. By the way, you've come at the right time. Take these two guys back with you," Hong Xiaoduo said.
"Isn't the young lady planning to come back with us? We'll have to thank you properly after we find Second Mistress," one of the bodyguards asked.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and shook her head: "Let's not go through all that trouble. They've done evil deeds, they probably don't need a few witnesses like us, right?"
Hearing her say that she really didn't intend to return to the town, the bodyguards felt too embarrassed to say anything more and just watched her get into the carriage and leave.
"Dazhi, come and see quickly!" A bodyguard called out to the man who was still watching the carriage go.
The two thugs had been taken to a place, and Dazhi gasped when he saw their injuries.
The second daughter-in-law provoked such a person, and he really only taught her a small lesson!
Thinking about what was happening in town, they tied up the two men, threw them onto the horse, and returned to town.
Inside the moving carriage, Hong Xiaoduo looked at the soft whip in her hand and touched the bag of pebbles. She was filled with emotion, wondering if she could really make her way in the world with just these two things.
Or perhaps I haven't encountered a truly formidable person?
This is too childish, too simple, too easy!
Wait a minute, Hong Xiaoduo suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something. After dealing with those two guys today, she forgot to check their injuries properly. How could she be sure of the force she used if she didn't check them?
Should we go back and look at it again? Oh well, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Wow, it feels pretty good. Use pebbles to hit things that are far away, and use whips to deal with things that are close.
She checked and found no blood on the whip. As for whether there was blood on the stone that was thrown as a hidden weapon, she didn't care.
Pebbles are easy to find, and once you throw them out, you don't need to pick them up to recycle them.
Just as she was feeling happy, a notification sound came from her ear: "Hong Xiaoduo, you have a surprise. Please enter the space to check it out."
Surprise? This sound wasn't from the old man at the science museum, but rather the notification sound that comes when a merchant on Meituan accepts an order.
"I'm going to take a nap," Hong Xiaoduo said to the children, then leaned against the pile of quilts and closed her eyes.
The children assumed she was just tired from fighting the bad guys, so they responded softly and then fell silent, afraid of disturbing her and affecting her rest.
Although the notification sound said it was a pleasant surprise, she wasn't too excited. After her consciousness entered the space, she indeed found that there had been some changes inside.
The old man from the science museum wasn't on the wall of the space; instead, a table appeared in the middle of the space with a box on it.
Upon opening the box, I found a jade bracelet inside.
"This is the surprise? I need this?" Hong Xiaoduo took it in her hand and looked at it, then became a little anxious.
She then noticed a piece of paper in the box, wondering if it was some kind of jade certificate or invoice. With patience, she took it out and unfolded it, her brow relaxing slightly – it was actually an instruction manual.
This bracelet turned out to be the one she had mentioned wanting before—a watch that could tell time and even show the weather forecast!
The instruction manual says that it was designed to be worn discreetly without attracting attention, hence the jade bracelet shape. It states that it doesn't require batteries or charging; the warmth of the wrist is sufficient for normal use.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at it for a long time but couldn't find the switch. She put it on her wrist but couldn't see anything displayed on it.
After thinking for a moment, she picked up the instruction manual again and read it carefully. Only then did she notice a line of small print at the bottom. After looking closely, she was speechless.
This bracelet actually requires a blood oath to be bound to its owner? After seeing it clearly, she couldn't help but look at the wall, but unfortunately, the old man didn't appear for some reason.
She wasn't sure if operating in the space would be effective, but she still wanted to try. Unable to find anything to prick her finger, she tried biting it with her mouth, but even with her finger on her teeth, she couldn't bite down. With no other option, she had to use the sword at her waist.
He drew his sword, gritted his teeth, and lightly scraped his finger against the tip of the blade. His skin immediately broke, and as he watched the bright red blood drip onto the bracelet, a time display appeared on it, showing both medieval and modern times.
After rotating it halfway, I saw that the display showed the weather conditions for the next three days, as well as the temperature, wind speed, and wind direction.
Hong Xiaoduo had to admit that the only drawback of this bracelet was that it made her bleed; otherwise, it was truly wonderful and displayed very clearly.
The key point is that the instructions say that only she can see what's displayed on the bracelet; no one else can.
Even if someone else drips blood on this bracelet first, it won't show anything; it's ineffective. This bracelet was custom-made for her, and only she can use it.
"Hong Xiaoduo, are you satisfied with this? There will be more good things coming soon, don't be impatient." The old man's voice rang out, and Hong Xiaoduo immediately looked up. There was still no old man's face on the wall, only this sentence.
"So-so," Hong Xiaoduo replied. After waiting a while longer without any further movement, she left the space.
"Huh? Mother, when did you put on this bracelet?" After Hong Xiaoduo opened her eyes, Kaiyang was the first to notice the bracelet on her wrist.
Hong Xiaoduo's heart skipped a beat: "How was it this morning? Was it pretty?" She wanted to make sure the children really couldn't see what was displayed on it.
The children all said it looked good. The older ones were curious. They had never seen her wear it before. Did they just buy it? Or had she been keeping it on her person without wearing it? Or was it a gift from someone?
"Mother, you're hurt. Does it hurt?" Yao Guang noticed the blood on Hong Xiaoduo's fingertip when she reached out to play with the bracelet, and immediately asked anxiously.
Hong Xiaoduo looked up and realized she had forgotten to bandage her hand: "It's not really an injury, I just accidentally got pricked by something."
Yuheng quickly found a clean piece of cotton cloth in his bag and carefully wrapped it up for her.
Seeing the children's worried and concerned expressions, Hong Xiaoduo felt a warmth in her heart.
Tianquan was still carefully searching the bench, wondering if he had been pricked by a splinter.
"Tian Shu, we can't afford to delay on the road these next two days. We need to get to Guanggu Town as soon as possible," Hong Xiaoduo said to the child driving the carriage.
Tian Shu didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to hurry on her way. She wanted to ask but held back, thinking that she must have her reasons for saying that.
Actually, Hong Xiaoduo had seen the latest cutting-edge technology on her wrist, which indicated that it would rain heavily in three days.
With winter fast approaching, she didn't want to travel with the children in the rain. She decided to find an inn in the town and wait for the weather to improve before setting off again.
With this handy gadget on my wrist, the children will suffer less on the road. The carriage is fine, but Tian Shu, who is driving, did buy a raincoat to keep out the rain, but there's really no need to travel in the rain.
The next day at noon, the escort agency actually arrived...
