Chapter 722 What exactly happened to her?
Everyone guessed that, judging from Hong Xiaoduo's personality, she would probably say, "Feiyan, it's okay if you don't marry me. You can just come with me. It's not like I can't afford to support you."
"It's okay if you can't get married. Marry me, and I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life," Hong Xiaoduo said to Feiyan, suppressing a laugh.
Huh? What is that?
What did she mean?
They got married? Aren't they both women?
Everyone around, adults and children alike, was completely bewildered.
"Xiao Duo, what's wrong with you? What nonsense are you spouting?" Quan Jinghuai was the first to react. He looked at the junior disciples with concern and glared at Hong Xiao Duo.
Honestly, how could you make such a joke? Especially in front of several children?
Feiyan isn't a child, but judging from her current state, she's clearly quite frightened.
"Hong Xiaoduo, you again?" Fei Yan also came to her senses and once again raised her hand to beckon to Hong Xiaoduo. Yes, this time she didn't want to cover her mouth, but wanted to pinch her a few times.
Just as Fei Yan's hand was about to touch her arm, Hong Xiaoduo nimbly got up to avoid it and ran away laughing to the side.
Feiyan was really giving it her all, but if the person in front didn't want to be caught, even if Quan Jinghuai, who had excellent lightness skills, took action, it wouldn't be of any use.
"Master, when a man is with another man, it's called 'cut sleeve.' What do you call it when Mother just mentioned two women being together?" Tianquan asked curiously.
Looking into his disciple's clear eyes, Quan Jinghuai's head was buzzing. He now wanted to join in, to catch someone who couldn't keep their mouth shut, and give her a good talking-to.
"Are the tents all set up? What time is it? Dinner isn't ready yet?" Unable to deal with the person's nonsense and unsure how to respond to Tianquan's question, he could only put on a stern face and intimidate his disciple.
Yao Guang wanted to speak, but Tian Shu pulled her away to arrange the tables and chairs.
A short while later, Fei Yan returned looking dejected. She went to Quan Jinghuai's side and asked for help, "Big brother, what's wrong with her?"
Could something have happened at her home that upset her?
After listening to Fei Yan's words, Quan Jinghuai put his hands behind his back, looked in the direction where Hong Xiaoduo disappeared into the night, thought about it seriously for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "It's okay, she must have decided to stay and not go back to that home. She has figured it out and has no burden in her heart, so that's why she's in a good mood."
Upon hearing this, Fei Yan also went through in her mind the expression and words of Hong Xiaoduo after she came out of the inn room after spending a day there. It seemed that this was indeed the case.
"Alright." Fei Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the tent was set up and dinner was ready, Yao Guang put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly into the night, "Mom, come back for dinner!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a response came from not far away: "Coming!"
He walked to the table and sat down, noticing that all the children were staring at him, while Brother Quan and Fei Yan's eyes seemed more normal.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not crazy. I was just in a good mood, so I was just joking around with everyone. This is a medicine pouch for repelling insects and ants. The weather is getting hotter, and there will be more mosquitoes and such." Hong Xiaoduo handed the medicine pouch she had just taken out of her space to Tian Shu, who then distributed them among themselves.
"Mother, if the weather gets hot, will we be able to eat snake soup?" Yao Guang suddenly thought of asking.
"You little glutton, if you want snake soup, you'll have to wait a bit longer. It's not time for those things to come out of their caves yet," Tianxuan said helplessly. Hearing that she would have to wait, Yaoguang sighed with some disappointment. Okay, then she would wait a little longer.
“It’s not hard to make snake soup if you want some. It’s too late today, I’ll make it for you tomorrow,” Hong Xiaoduo said.
Everyone immediately realized that her so-called plastic surgery must have been done out of thin air, like a magic trick!
In this season, when the weather is nice, Hong Xiaoduo and her friends set up their dining table outside. Looking up, they see a brilliant starry sky, a gentle breeze, and wild birds chirping in the distance. They don't know what kind of birds they are, but their calls are not pleasant at all, like a child crying until their voice is hoarse.
"Noisy." Hong Xiaoduo picked up a small bone she had just gnawed and flicked it in the direction of the bird's call. The unpleasant bird call stopped immediately.
"Oh dear, it's so dark. I wonder where that annoying bird fell. Otherwise, it would be so delicious to pick it up and roast it," Yao Guang said regretfully.
"Little sister, you're a princess now, can you please stop being so greedy?" Tianji said casually.
"What's wrong with being a princess? Does being a princess mean you can't eat what you like? Besides, isn't Fifth Sister also a princess? Just now, when Big Brother split open a pine tree, there were tree worms inside. Didn't Second Brother roast them and eat them?" Yao Guang was very indignant.
Yuheng, who was called out, did not feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, she agreed with the little sister's words. Although she had found her family and was now a princess, she didn't really care about the title of princess.
“It’s just a bird. If Yaoguang wants to eat it, we’ll hunt it down tomorrow and let you eat your fill,” Hong Xiaoduo said again.
"Great! We'll roast them with salt and pepper, cumin, and spicy flavors!" Yao Guang was overjoyed, counting on her fingers as she talked.
"There's also a spicy one," Hong Xiaoduo added with a smile.
Quan Jinghuai, Fei Yan, Tian Shu, and the others looked helplessly at Hong Xiaoduo, thinking to themselves, "Just spoil her!"
"No, why are you all reacting like this? Whether it's snake soup or roasted bird, it's not like it's just for me to eat." Xiao Yaoguang couldn't help but speak up.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that what the little girl said made sense, and they all laughed somewhat embarrassedly.
Quan Jinghuai took a bite of crispy pork and a sip of wine, looking at the warm scene before him, and only two words came to his mind—it's so nice!
The next day at noon, two large bowls of fragrant snake soup were placed on the table.
While eating the freshly cooked rice and the delicious snake soup, I couldn't stop eating, and I sighed for the two big snakes. It wasn't even time for them to come out of their den yet, but they couldn't escape this fate.
Originally, I thought that Hong Xiaoduo's talk about getting the snake out of nowhere would be like before. But instead, she took a strange thing, waved it around on the ground in the forest, pointed to a spot, and told me to dig. Then, she dug out the big snake that had ended its hibernation but hadn't fully woken up yet.
They dug up one and, still not satisfied, dug up another, saying they were going to eat as much as they wanted.
As Yao Guang ate her snake soup, she kept talking about hunting birds in the afternoon. This time, no one called her a little glutton who only knew how to eat.
And so, the group went about their journey, catching fish in the water, hunting in the mountains, and buying chickens, ducks, and sheep in the villages and towns they encountered, which they then slaughtered and ate.
One evening two weeks later, they finally arrived at Tian Shu's house. Perhaps because the truth about confirming Old Man Luo's grandfather was about to be revealed, Hong Xiaoduo was quite excited...
