Chapter 254 Insomnia
In a blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

On the eighth day, we rested in an inn called Baihe Town, not because we were tired, but because it was raining.

The rain was not heavy, and although Hong Xiaoduo wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible, she decided to take a rest.

When walking on a rainy day, the ones who suffer the most are the horse and the donkey, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui.

It is said that people will develop feelings when they spend a long time with each other. In fact, if you spend a long time with animals, you will also develop feelings. In particular, the black and gray animals are very smart. They are no longer just a means of pulling carts.

In this season, there is green grass everywhere along the way, but Hong Xiaoduo still asked Tianshu to buy high-quality fodder. No matter how fresh the grass is, it is not as nutritious as fodder with cooked beans added.

When we rested along the way, we ate some fresh green grass on the roadside, and the main meal was still purchased.

There are plenty of fruits at this time of year, and every time we buy fresh fruits, the children will share some with the two of them.

Some boys even hid their own fruits and left them for the two of them to eat.

They thought they were doing it very secretly, but in fact, Hong Xiaoduo, Quan Jinghuai and Feiyan, the three adults, knew about it a long time ago, but they all turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

We arrived at this town at noon yesterday. Hong Xiaoduo said it was going to rain today, so we found an inn to stay in.

"Guard Yan, what a fool they are! If they are tired and want to rest, just rest. Why do they have to say it will rain today? It is already noon and there is no rain at all.

Also, look at their horses, they eat the best fodder, but how come a donkey also eats so well?

Our master is a second-rank minister, but the horses in our house have never been treated this way." Wu Fu, the servant and coachman who returned to the room from the stable, asked with emotion.

Guard Yan didn't even raise his head, but lowered his head to wipe the sword in his hand: "Wu Fu, listen to my advice, just do your own job well, don't learn from those gossipy women in the market, gossiping and making trouble out of nothing."

This is not advice, it is clearly a warning!

Wu Fu quickly responded in a low voice, went to the corridor, leaned against the railing, and watched the seven children practicing martial arts in the backyard of the inn.

His wife sat on the side and watched, while his wife stood aside.

The seven children's teacher and the young lady named Feiyan were all there, but the only one missing was young lady Hong who said it would rain today.

I didn't see her when I was eating noodles in the morning. Could she be sleeping in?
Wu Fu was guessing in his heart when he heard thunder. No way? Is it really going to rain?
He looked up quickly and saw that not long ago, there were white clouds floating in the sky, but now, dark clouds kept coming from the distance, and the wind blew. The sky gradually darkened, and lightning and thunder were getting closer and closer.

"Oh my god, is it really going to rain?" Wu Fu looked up at the dark clouded sky and muttered to himself in disbelief.

Hong Xiaoduo, who was still lying on the bed at this time, also heard the lightning and thunder in a daze, but just turned over and continued to sleep.

The children’s homework for today was arranged last evening so that they could have a good late night sleep this morning.

Ever since the paternity test results came out, she, who always had good sleep quality, started to suffer from insomnia.

In the first two days, she tried to comfort herself, saying that Kaiyang had met his biological mother, had a family, and Wei Junpei was his biological grandfather, which were good things. However, there was no effect at all.

The consequence of continuous insomnia was that in addition to being exhausted, she felt that her temper was also starting to deteriorate. She became very irritable and always wanted to lose her temper.

The roads have been so peaceful recently. Not to mention highway robberies, even petty thieves have never been encountered. Hong Xiaoduo is very angry because she wants to vent, but she has no chance. It was so crowded before, but now it is suddenly peaceful! However, Brother Quan said that the closer you are to the capital, the safer the road will be.

Realizing that this was not going to work, I went into the space and got some Chinese patent medicine for sleeping. I took it after dinner last night and it worked quite well.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the dense raindrops fell on the tiles, which became a sleep-aiding tune in Hong Xiaoduo's ears.

This time, when I woke up, it was already afternoon.

After waking up and washing my face with cold water, I immediately felt refreshed. But I couldn't help thinking that I had become insomniac because of Kaiyang's matter.

I don’t know how Kaiyang and the other six children will react when they know the truth!
Also, now I am suffering from insomnia just because I have sent Kaiyang back to his own home. What will happen if I leave this dynasty and the other six children and return to the modern era without being able to see any of them? Wouldn’t it be even more serious?
Hong Xiaoduo herself had never expected that she would develop such a deep bond with seven children who were not related by blood.

The door was pushed open a crack, and a little head popped in. It was Yaoguang.

Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo had really woken up, she walked in and said, "Mom, you didn't eat in the morning or at noon, you must be hungry. Eat a piece of date cake to fill your stomach first."

Hong Xiaoduo took the date cake from the child's hand and said, "Yaoguang loves me so much!"

"My brothers and sisters have come to open the door several times, but you didn't wake up. Fortunately, I am lucky." Yaoguang said happily.

Hong Xiaoduo was eating a date cake while walking out of the room holding Yaoguang's hand with her other hand. Suddenly, she had an idea.

During this period of time, Yaoguang has been accompanying Kaiyang at the Hua family.

Hua also likes her very much. So, after sending Kaiyang home, if Hua wants to adopt Yaoguang, I should agree to it.

Firstly, they know each other well, and secondly, Yaoguang continues to be Kaiyang's sister, and Kaiyang will take care of her.

It depends on whether Hua has this plan and whether he will bring it up.

Following Yaoguang to the next room, the children were practicing calligraphy seriously. When they saw Hong Xiaoduo come in, they immediately subconsciously adjusted their sitting posture.

Probably because the room was not big enough, Hua and the woman were not there.

"Kaiyang, have you memorized everything I asked you to recite? Come here and recite it to me." Hong Xiaoduo came in and called out his name.

"It's not going very smoothly yet." Tianshu said.

He has already tested this sixth brother three times, to be honest.

When Kaiyang heard this, his face immediately fell: "It should be about the same tomorrow morning, otherwise..."

Hong Xiaoduo didn't agree, but walked forward and sat down, motioning him to recite it for her.

The other children all stopped writing and listened attentively.

Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo had no intention of giving him more time, Kaiyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish the homework she assigned him (reciting it again). What Tianshu said was absolutely correct, he just stuttered.

But, at least he had memorized it, so Hong Xiaoduo decided to give this kid a boost tomorrow...
