The attack stopped when it reached Zhu Fanfan. Aren't foxes supposed to be the smartest? How could it think it could attack her within her control? Seeing the little fox unable to move, it was taught a lesson without any special attack. No one touched it, and it repeatedly jumped high and fell heavily. Finally, it couldn't take it anymore and howled for mercy. Even Xue Dao, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch. A perfectly good silver fox had turned into a coal fox. But it deserved it, for making it unable to recognize reality.
Zhu Fanfan patted Xue Dao's head, and it finally woke up. After waking up, it was even stronger and more intelligent. Looking at the black fox, she regretted giving it the things. She had originally planned to change its memories and give them to the Dragon Group, but now she changed her mind and asked Xue Dao and the golden eagle to teach it some manners.
Zhu Fanfan stayed in the space for a while before coming out. After all, the space flow was too fast, and she wanted to live for two more years. However, after coming out, she thought about how well she got along with the people in the Dragon Group when she was in the snow mountain. Although she had lived in the compound for so many years, she still didn't have many good friends, which made her feel a little sad. But she decided against going out and socializing. She preferred to be alone.
When her grandfather came home that evening, she confessed to him about her life in the modern world. Zhu Jiabao remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally only said, "Your grandmother would be very happy if she were still alive."
He never doubted that his child would have a good life outside. As long as she remembered what he taught her, she wouldn't be bullied. Even if he couldn't see his child, he was content as long as she was alive.
Zhu Fanfan ultimately swallowed the thought that it might be her own hallucination. In the era she lived in, as long as you had the strength and weren't cowardly, you could live freely, and she wasn't lying about that.
Zhu Jiabao spoke again, "Tell Grandpa again about the era you lived in."
Zhu Fanfan said, "The firearms of that era were so powerful that our country was among the top in the world. Later, because of the nationwide mobilization of soldiers, everyone knew how to shoot and make simple guns, and they could even make explosives. The destructive power was too great, which led to a complete ban on guns. Even if foreigners have gun licenses, they can't bring them in. It's also the only country that mercenaries can't get into."
Zhu Jiabao was relieved. As long as there were no firearms, his little girl would at most fight back.
Zhu Fanfan continued, "We also learn self-defense and taekwondo where I'm from. If I hadn't come here, I would have thought it was alright. But since joining the army, even an ordinary soldier is more powerful and more resilient than a 9th-dan taekwondo practitioner."
Zhu Jiabao nodded. Zhu Mingyue could even dodge bullets when fighting, and she wasn't afraid even if she offended someone and was surrounded by many people.
Zhu Fanfan said, "The law was already very sound at that time. Minor disputes could be resolved through mediation, and even if someone died, there was no death penalty. There was still time to prove one's innocence, and wrongful convictions would at least have a day when the truth came out."
But all these healthy lives were built on the foundation of human lives. By the time the truth was revealed, his youth had faded, and there was no need to tell his grandfather about those regrets.
As Zhu Jiabao listened to Zhu Fanfan recount the advancements of the new society, a smile appeared on his lips. He wondered if Zhu Fanfan would ever live to see that day, which truly seemed like a paradise on earth.
Zhu Fanfan patiently continued talking to his grandfather until late at night before finally stopping, raising his hands in surrender: "Old Zhu, I have a holiday to catch up on sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow, so go and get some rest!"
Zhu Jiabao looked at the sky outside. Time had passed so quickly. No wonder he was feeling sleepy. He tried to get up, but his legs were numb and he couldn't move. Zhu Fanfan saw this and pulled him up: "How old are you? Do you still think you're young? You're not feeling well, so why don't you get up and move around? It's not like I didn't tell you."
Zhu Jiabao stretched his limbs and protested to Zhu Fanfan: "I'm your grandfather, don't be disrespectful."
Zhu Fanfan stopped talking. She could tell that her grandfather was running out of energy, and she didn't dare to provoke him. In the end, the two of them had a fight and both of them were hurt.
Zhu Jiabao felt much better and waved his hand, "I'm going to rest. You shouldn't take advantage of your youth and overdraw your energy. Don't stay up late. Even if you can learn something in the space, don't forget that nighttime is the proper time to rest."
Zhu Fanfan said, "I understand, old man. I'll be going to the Dragon Group Library tomorrow and the day after, so I won't be coming back. Grandpa Zhuge said he'll arrange a room for me there. I'll come back after I've read everything I want to know, so it won't delay my registration."
Zhu Jiabao didn't say anything. He still wanted Fanfan to go to the Dragon Group. He always felt that one should exert as much effort as one is capable of. There were many people in the army with good martial arts skills, and countless others with quick minds. There were just too many capable people. Although Fanfan was relatively outstanding, they didn't really need another one. The Dragon Group would be more valued and would have better development prospects. Zhuge Qianxing was very protective of her own people, and she did so openly and without any reason. With her troublemaking nature, she was more suitable for that group.
After sending her grandfather back to his room, she went back to her own room to rest and didn't enter the space again. She slept soundly all night, and when she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She quickly got up to get ready, rode her snow knife out, and when she returned, she announced that she had seen a big white dog that would be her mount. Although everyone was curious, they were accepting of it and it was already out in the open.
Xue Dao sped along and soon arrived at the Dragon Group. Zhu Fanfan's first thing to do was to challenge Hai Bu to a duel, but was ruthlessly rejected. Hai Bu's reason was that he was a man and he didn't hit women. Zhu Fanfan was speechless. Their first meeting almost ended in a fight to the death.
Yuanman pulled Zhu Fanfan away and took her to her room. She said happily, "I specially changed your room. It's right next to ours. It's all set up. Xi Yan said you would stay here for two days. I thought he was lying."
Zhu Fanfan felt embarrassed: "I'm only staying for one day, and I probably won't come back again. You don't need to go to such lengths."
Yuanyuan said, "Actually, ever since Manman and I blew up Shaoling's room, we've been ostracized by the girls. Shaoling is more popular, and we're a bit independent and don't fit in with them. The organization has rules that we can't change dorms without a valid reason, and they'd love for someone to switch with them!"
Since those two blew up Shaoling's dorm, Shaoling hasn't said a word! A group of people passionately condemned them, thinking they were some kind of righteous heroes. They were scolded and beaten up a few times and then quieted down. They were incompetent and just kept stirring up trouble. They just wanted to use Shaoling's incident to make everyone hate them. They couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to them!
They also have their own circle of friends, and they are not on the same page as those who take advantage of others' mischief and deny their efforts. They ask them to do chores, and see who dares to refuse. Not only do they not dare to refuse, but they also do not dare to cause trouble. So sometimes they don't even know who is isolating whom.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "I'd like to look at the books inside. I wonder if I can take them out?"
Yuanyuan shook her head: "All the books in the library are read there. Taking them back without permission will get you expelled. They say it's to instill a sense of gratitude for reading. Even if the group leader vouches for you, it's still not allowed."
Zhu Fanfan asked, puzzled: "What does reading have to do with gratitude?"
