"This is the worst misfortune Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu have ever had," Mu Haocun shook his head.
Mu Lian and the others briefly held their breaths, waiting for what Mu Haocun would say next but then as if doused with water all of a sudden, were so struck that they could not say anything.
"Just try if the type of tracker is a normal type of tracker, which sucks the victim's chi. Surely Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu would not feel any effect," Mu Haocun said ignoring the expressions of Mu Lian and the others.
"If that's the case we already know, but are Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu okay? I mean, there's no complication, right, cake?" said Mu Lian.
"No, there's no. There is only residue from the creature. Take it easy, not so dangerous. These residues will turn off by themselves in about a minute.
But, in order for Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu's condition to improve immediately it seems like grandfather has to take it out," Mu Haocun said as he began to exert the needles that were still in Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu's circulation.
Before long, Mu Lian smelled an unpleasant smell from Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu's bodies. The clothes of the two children were wet in some parts and Mu Lian was sure that the liquid that had just come out of Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu's body was what gave rise to this unpleasant smell.
"Ah, it smells!" xiaobao said immediately running out of the room. Xiaoleng and Xiaojia did not run out of the room but it seemed that the eyes of the two children became unfocused.
"Levy! What is this smell! Old grandpa, what are you doing!" ling Zizhou said scattering from the kitchen.
The young man looked at the drenched Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu and understood this was the source of this unpleasant smell.
"Ah Cun, is this the residue you mean?" master Yi said curiously.
"really. But when my needles discovered the residues, they were still solid, the size of sugar. And they filled Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu's blood circulation.
Oh, there's hiding in Xiaoqiu's liver as well, for a while I have to concentrate fully first," Mu Haocun said then closed his eyes.
It didn't take long for Mu Haocun to open his eyes and tell him that the residue hiding in Xiaoqiu's liver was successfully removed. The residue process is completed.
But the next problem is that the unpleasant smell they smell does not disappear even though an hour has passed.
"It looks like the Northern Meeting House is temporarily unusable," Mu Lian said.
And all the food that is here can not be eaten because the unpleasant smell has been attached. But not for Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu.
Because they are so hungry that it doesn't matter whether the food they eat smells or not.
The two children also slept in the North Meeting House for several days until their condition improved and the unpleasant smell of the liquid coming out of their bodies disappeared completely.
The other children were surprised because they had to move their eating activities in the Southern Meeting House which Mu Lian had repaired as usual.
The children were about to visit Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu but when they smelled an unpleasant smell in front of the entrance of the room, all of them paused their intention to visit.
Only Mu Lian and Mu Haocun took turns to bring water food and clean clothes so that Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu could wipe.
Another major change is that Xiaobai is now out of the pseudo-world. He disguised himself as a fluffy creature that resembled a ball. Only his eyes were gray.
Xiaobai was always perched on top of Mu Lian's head so Mu Lian looked like she was wearing a fur hat.
Quickly, Xiaobai was famous among the children but unfortunately, Xiaobai was completely untouchable so the children called him an unreachable creature.
Once the children saw Xiaobai floating in the air. Xiaobai looks like cotton candy floating around.
"Levy! The funny! Xiaobai!"
The children chased wherever Xiaobai went but of course Xiaobai managed to hide in the Mu Lian residence.
Xiaobai hid in a corner, observing the lilac-colored flames that danced over Mu Lian's palm.
Not even Mu Lian knew of Xiaobai's whereabouts. Somehow Xiaobai could not be found if he did not want to be found.
...
"We, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu, have recovered!" xiaohan and Xiaoqiu said simultaneously. After five days of lying down, only able to eat and drink, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu's bodies finally returned to their usual state.
The healing process of Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu was also accelerated with the help of the medicine that Mu Haocun concocted.
Now, the two children announced their recovery very loudly in front of the children's residence.
Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu stood up with great enthusiasm, wanting to see how the other children reacted.
But after waiting for five minutes, there was only Mu Lian with a smile on her lips approaching Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu.
"Are you sure you're standing strong?" said Mu Lian.
"Already dong!" xiaohan and Xiaoqiu said simultaneously. Without further ado Mu Lian pulled the two children into the residence.
In one of the buildings that functioned as a learning room, children were divided into several groups. Children aged 12 and 9 are being taught reading, writing and arithmetic by Mu Haocun.
The 5-year-olds were busy with their respective papers and the 3-year-olds were playing with Meimei and Meng Zhi.
Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu had originally not seen that their friends were studying, the one they saw first was Meng Zhi.
"Zhi Ge!"
Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu rushed towards Meng Zhi.
"Haha. I heard you guys.forget it, congratulations on your recovery," Meng Zhi said shaking her head with an amused smile.
"Hehe," Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu said with proud faces. I don't know why the two kids even look like they got a class ranking, looking so proud. Meimei and Meng Zhi just shook their heads.
"Well, grandfather, since Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu have recovered from today they will both join the study group," Mu Lian said.
Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu's smiles froze. Both of them realized that the other children were learning.
Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu immediately looked for an excuse to be absent from the study group but Mu Haocun still dragged the two along. Inevitably Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu sat down with their faces parched.
Actually if they did not join the study group today, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu would still join the study group in the end. Because it was a joint decision that Mu Lian and the others had agreed upon.
Children have been mourning for long enough. They have to continue to live. Initially, Mu Lian and the others were about to find the right foster parents for the children.
But the more here, the more inseparable the children became, and Mu Lian and the others were increasingly reluctant to let go of the children.
And now, after they were trapped inside the True Cave, Mu Lian also decided to take care of the children. After all they were all stuck together, nowhere else but in the Magic Wagon.
Education was the main thing that Mu Lian had to give to the children. Mu Lian also discussed what should be taught to children.
Mu Haocun, Meng Zhi and Meimei took turns teaching various knowledge in the world to children aged 12 and 9 years.
Mu Lian also became a master teacher for 5-year-olds, which when compared to children on Earth, children of that age were at the same level as kindergarten.
In addition to education, children can also choose the field they want to pursue. Children who choose Gun Expert, always train the body and hone the ability to use their weapons every time they learn general knowledge.
Of the 20 children, there are 9 children who are interested in becoming a Gunsmith. They took the class with great enthusiasm.
Knowledge classes start from morning until lunchtime, closed with bodywork classes in the afternoon for those who choose Weapons Experts.
Mu Lian was greatly relieved when the children looked excitedly following the lesson, except, Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu. It seems that the two children did not like reading very much.
Well, at least they're still in the spirit when it comes to counting lessons. Both can count faster than other children.
Once Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu intended to come out secretly. Both wanted to infiltrate the exploration group. But the two never managed to escape under the supervision of Mu Lian and Mu Haocun.
And after a week of forced learning. Xiaohan and Xiaoqiu already looked like the undead. They are lackluster and not energized.
"Well, look at those two kids. Just a week can't go out, it's like that" said Meng Zhi.
At that time everyone was having dinner at the Southern Meeting House. The two brats who usually made a row were silent, making the dinner quiet.
"Hey, if it's not eaten, I'll finish it off" Xiaobao said taking the side dish inside Xiaohan's bowl. Yet Xiaohan only saw her side dish stolen Xiaobao in silence.
"..."
"It looks like we should take them out tonight," Mu Lian said as she stroked Xiaobai who was still a ball of white feathers on her lap.
"You sure? Tonight there will be a meeting to discuss the upcoming exploration" Ling Zizhou said as he looked at Master Yi then continued
"Not to mention Zhi ge. The emergence of Zhi ge after a long absence certainly makes the atmosphere more rowdy,"
"Hmm? Is there a problem out there?" said Meng Zhi curiously.
Ling Zizhou also told me that there were some ungrateful groups who were getting presumptuous to the Magic Wagon. Ling Zizhou was also informed that someone was plotting foul wits to kidnap the Magic Wagon party.
"When everyone feels safe from danger, greed begins to take over their hearts" said Meng Zhi.
When things were still very life-threatening, no one thought anything to the Magic Wagon. But now, it began to look rotten sense some groups that had been helped by Meng Zhi.
"When they wait patiently, everything must be in the pill," Mu Lian said with a long sigh.
After resting for 3 days, Mu Lian directly made pills, but still the production of Mu Lian pills was unable to meet the needs of all the groups.
Many others do exploration. They needed an overwhelming amount of pills to guarantee the safety of their exploration team.
"Lian'er, you won't be able to meet everyone's needs. After all you have only one and it is impossible to make more pills than your current ability," Mu Haocun continued, saying,
"If you have to choose, grandfather will still sell pills to the groups that have been our subscription since we first arrived at the Sacred Cave,"
Mu Lian nodded in agreement. Of all the groups in existence, only those groups are known privately.
"If things are getting less conducive like this, shouldn't we separate ourselves from those groups that have hidden intentions?" said Meng Zhi.
"Either, just join the meeting tonight," Master Yi told Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi smiled amusedly.
"Alright, I'll come along," Meng Zhi said.
After the children returned to their residence, Meng Zhi followed Master Yi and Ling Zizhou out. For the first time, after a long time gone, there was no news.
When Meng Zhi had just set foot outside, Xu Jing and Xu Ke immediately approached Meng Zhi. Both were very close to the car.
"Mr Zhi!"
Mini-theatre
Mu Lian: Xiaobai! Sorry to be coming now.
Xiaobai: Lian! I miss you so much! Hiks, I thought I'd never see you again!
Xiaobai's body trembled within Mu Lian's arms. It seemed like the child was devastated when he heard the news of Mu Lian being unconscious.
Although Mu Haocun accompanied him for one week Mu Lian was not around, Xiaobai became very sad at not being able to feel her mother's aura on Mu Lian.
Because Xiaobai was a child and had not been bound by the rules that forbade him to interfere in world affairs let alone close to humans, Xiaobai also ventured to say that he would always be by Mu Lian's side.
Mu Lian: But Xiaobai, your form...
Xiaobai: Don't worry Lian jie if I do this, hup, hup, Ah! Then no one will recognize me!
Xiaobai took a deep breath then strained with all her might. To his surprise, his body turned into a ball of white feathers.
Mu Lian: !
