Hong Xiaoduo and the children had become accustomed to Quan Jinghuai's reaction and continued to eat.
"Come on, be careful not to burn yourself. Uncle, help you get it." Seeing Kaiyang beside him reaching for the baked dry food, Quan Jinghuai quickly helped and updated his title by the way.
Hong Xiaoduo laughed secretly when he heard it, but the children didn't care. Anyway, knowing that Hong Xiaoduo agreed with this person to go with him, it means that this person is not a bad person.
I have always been a loner. This was the first time I walked with so many people. Quan Jinghuai thought he would not like it, but to his surprise, he got used to it quite well.
Eating and drinking, talking and laughing, it didn’t feel like a hurry at all, but more like an outing.
After eating, watching the children pack things in an orderly manner, Hong Xiaoduo made a pot of tea and moved the pony to sit next to Quan Jinghuai without waiting to greet her.
"I would like to ask, why do they call you mother?" Quan Jinghuai also felt that it was inappropriate to ask such a question when they had just met, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity.
Hong Xiaoduo poured him a cup of tea and told him simply without hiding anything.
She said it in an understatement, but Quan Jinghuai looked at her with admiration in his eyes. I don't think the reason why the children call her mother is childish or funny.
In that situation, she is the children's life-saving straw, don't you want to hold on tightly?
"Then what are your plans in the future? Do you want to take them back to your home?" Quan Jinghuai asked again.
Hong Xiaoduo took a sip of tea and shook his head and smiled: "To tell you the truth, I don't have a home either."
Ah? how so? Quan Jinghuai felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have asked. He was about to apologize but saw that there was no sadness in her expression.
"I'm just taking them around for the time being. If I find a suitable place, I might consider stopping." Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said again as soon as he saw his guilty expression.
While the two were talking, the children had already packed up. They said hello to Hong Xiaoduo and went into the tent to practice calligraphy.
Outside, by the fire, two adults were drinking tea at the table.
Hong Xiaoduo faced the tent, making sure that the children inside could not hear her conversation, so he asked the person next to him: "You must have traveled a lot, right? I think Let me ask you, is there any other place other than the kind of charity hall that takes in refugees and beggars? How can we take in children like them? "
Quan Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "Yes, for example, in the Dawu Pass you are going to, there is a camp that specially takes in orphans without fathers and mothers. ."
"Really? Then what?" Hong Xiaoduo's eyes lit up.
"When they reach the age of fifteen, they will be sent to the military camp to serve as soldiers." Quan Jinghuai continued.
When Hong Xiaoduo heard this, his heart suddenly became cold: "What two words do you mean by "labor camp"? rhetorical question.
"I thought it was the righteousness of loyalty, the camp of the military camp." Hong Xiaoduo said with a self-deprecating smile.
She really thought she had finally asked the right person and found the right place, but she didn't expect this to be the case.
"Actually, it's quite good to send them to the military camp. At least they can have enough food and clothing. After entering the military camp, the powerful ones will have the opportunity to perform meritorious service, and then they can be promoted to not the lowest level soldiers." Quan Jinghuai expressed his opinion.
Hong Xiaoduo shook his head: "Forget it, it's not the last resort yet."
Quan Jinghuai clearly felt that this topic made her feel very bad: "You last night The busy work turns out to be to help the mother and daughter who live in the second room of the Nie family?"
Hearing his question, Hong Xiaoduo stared at him.
“I admit that I followed you last night and also went to the beggar’s den, but I didn’t follow you in at the time. When I saw that the package on your waist was missing when you came out, I thought you were robbing the rich and helping the poor. Those beggars are gone.
I only guessed it when I saw the mother and daughter this morning. "You're quite honest." Seeing his frank admission, Hong Xiaoduo didn't say anything unpleasant.
It’s just that I feel a little scared. Fortunately, this person is a good person. What if he is a bad person?
This time, I thought I was doing it carefully, but who knew that I was being watched by others! You must be more cautious when doing similar things in the future.
Hong Xiaoduo reflected on himself in his heart, his vigilance was still too bad!
“Quan doesn’t mean any harm.” Quan Jinghuai explained a little embarrassedly.
"Of course I know this, otherwise why would I agree to go with you?" Hong Xiaoduo said.
"There's nothing inappropriate about Quan going with you, right?" Quan Jinghuai thought for a moment and asked.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled: "With a knight like you walking with us, we are safer. I just don't know how long you can walk with us. If it takes a long time, I just have a few children here who want to "Learning kung fu?" Quan Jinghuai pointed to the sword at her waist.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and waved his hand: "I am quite good at fighting, but I am not a martial artist."
"Oh? Are you good at fighting?" Quan Jinghuai understood a little bit after hearing this.
"Yes, so I can't teach them to fight." Hong Xiaoduo said again.
Quan Jinghuai thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, Mrs. Hong, will I teach them kung fu in the future?"
"Ah? Really?" Hong Xiaoduo didn't expect that Is this such a good thing? I asked a little bit in disbelief.
“Really, Quan is very serious.” Quan Jinghuai put away his smile and became very serious.
"Tianshu? Come out." Hong Xiaoduo immediately turned around and shouted into the tent.
The children didn't know why they were calling her, but from the sound of her voice, it didn't seem like something bad.
"Who said you wanted to learn kung fu before? You have the right to do so, right? Hurry up and call me master." Hong Xiaoduo pointed to the people around him and said to the children.
I am afraid that if I speak slowly, people will change their mind.
“Master.” Tianshu was startled for a moment, then took the lead in calling Master, and then knelt down and kowtowed.
The other six children immediately followed suit, called Master and kowtowed.
The children are like this, making Quan Jinghuai a little confused. He is just teaching them kung fu, not accepting disciples?
However, the children’s master also shouted and knelt down, so it seemed inappropriate to explain themselves.
He turned to look at Hong Xiaoduo, only to see her looking at him with a smile on her face.
For a moment, Quan Jinghuai felt as if he had been cheated, but then he thought about it, she couldn’t be blamed!
Okay, although I am not a big shot in martial arts, I am not an unknown person anymore. If I recruit a few apprentices, I can teach them some real skills.
How many apprentices? Seven? Of the seven children she brought with her, not a single one was left behind, and they were all kneeling in front of her!
When others accept disciples, they only accept them one by one when they meet a good seedling, a suitable one, and a promising one.
I am doing well, I have seven apprentices just by saying a word.
"The seven of them are very smart and can endure hardships. I can guarantee that they are all good in character. Just don't worry." Seeing that Quan Jinghuai didn't respond, Hong Xiaoduo hurriedly Open your mouth and say...
