Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 404 Guilty Conscience
"Actually, it's like this. I used an exclusive secret method to make the wick in the lantern, so there's no need to use any candles at all. But this secret method cannot be leaked out, otherwise, I will be in big trouble." Hong Xiaoduo quickly made up an excuse in his mind and said with a sigh.

Huh? So that's how it is!

After hearing this, the other people present did not doubt it and their expressions became serious.

Seeing them like this, Hong Xiaoduo felt a little guilty. They, big and small, trusted her very much, and they believed whatever she said.

She didn't want to deceive them, but what else could she say? Say that she was not from this dynasty, but from the future, and that this lantern was modern black technology, solar-powered?
"Mom, we promise not to tell anyone else, and this won't be discovered by others." Yaoguang promised loudly, and then Tianshu and the others immediately looked at her warningly. Yaoguang quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help laughing at the little guy's reaction: "Don't be so nervous, just be aware of it. If there are other people around, just be careful."

"Then when we don't use the lanterns in the car, why don't we put them in the car?" Tianshu said after thinking for a while.

Hong Xiaoduo smiled and shook her head, "That won't work. These two lanterns need to be exposed to the sun during the day."

Everyone nodded again, and they understood. What she meant was that the two lanterns needed the sun's rays to bless them.

"Okay, let's continue eating dinner. It won't taste good if it gets cold." After solving the lantern problem, Hong Xiaoduo breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer had to pretend to change candles or something to cover up the problem.

Although she told everyone not to be so nervous, ever since she told her about this at the dinner table, she noticed that Quan Jinghuai, Feiyan, and the six little ones would glance at the two lanterns from time to time.

Hong Xiaoduo thought that it would be better in a few days.

When they rested at night, charcoal was lit in both tents. Because Hong Xiaoduo had specifically instructed that the tents be ventilated, there was no need to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning.

Hong Xiaoduo still went to bed early. Yaoguang wanted to practice the piano, but Feiyan disagreed, saying that it would disturb Hong Xiaoduo's rest.

So, the two little girls went to their brothers' tent to practice calligraphy.

However, tonight, the little ones who were practicing calligraphy kept getting distracted and looking at the lanterns.

They had always thought that it was because of the good candles she bought, but they had not expected that the special thing was in the lantern itself.

Their mother is really, really, really amazing!
The master has been in the martial arts world for many years and has become very powerful. He still practices martial arts every day. But she goes to bed early and gets up late every day. She has never practiced martial arts. But every time she encounters a bad guy, she can easily deal with the opponent.

Sister Feiyan said that this is talent.

Hong Xiaoduo had no idea how dazzling her halo was in everyone's heart. She lay in bed, looking at the charcoal brazier in the middle of the tent, wondering whether she should leave a message for Old Man Luo to get her some Shandong sweet potatoes.

In this winter, charcoal fire had to be lit every day. Sweet potatoes were easy to buy in this dynasty, but they were not as delicious as the new varieties from the Modern Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The Shandong Yanshu, which was sweet, soft, and juicy, was delicious whether it was roasted or steamed.

She didn't want to trouble old man Luo, but the exchange system he designed didn't have this in it!

As she was thinking, she fell asleep in a daze. She didn't even know when Feiyan and the other three came back.

The next day, when she woke up, dressed, washed, and walked out of the tent, Yaoguang ran over to tell her that her master and the brothers had caught several fish.

So, Hong Xiaoduo had delicious fish soup for breakfast.

The temperature was low in the morning, and after drinking a bowl of hot fish soup, I felt warm all over.

"Yaoguang, have you gone to look for wild duck eggs?" Hong Xiaoduo put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked the little girl.

Yaoguang shook her head and complained in a low voice: "Big brother won't let me go. He said that the wild ducks will fly away if they run around randomly. It will be difficult for you to take them to hunt wild ducks later." "Oh, big brother is right. But it doesn't matter. Wild duck eggs will not fly away. After we hunt around, I will take you to find duck eggs." After Hong Xiaoduo said this, she was about to take her own bowl and chopsticks to the copper basin beside her, but Feiyan, who had just arrived, rushed to take them away to wash them.

Tianshu and the others also came over at this time, holding their bows in their hands and quivers on their backs. The arrow feathers inside were all made by Quan Jinghuai for them on the road.

Only Quan Jinghuai knew how many times his little disciples had looked in the direction of the tent that morning.

Actually, he could take them to hunt wild ducks, but his kung fu was not as good as their 'mother's'. Xiaoduo clearly reassured them last night that she would be responsible for shooting down any wild ducks that escaped from their arrows.

Well, he can do it if it's just one or two occasionally, but he doesn't have that ability if he counts too many.

Looking at several disciples, carrying arrows and holding bows, following her and walking excitedly along the lake, Quan Jinghuai sighed and decided to just sit here and fish peacefully!
As they walked, Tianshu stopped and asked in a low voice: "When we shoot arrows later, should we shoot in groups or all at once?"

Hong Xiaoduo understood what he meant. When the wild ducks flew up, their direction and number were unknown. If everyone shot at them together, there would be no chance to decide who was targeting which one.

It is very likely that several people will shoot at a wild duck at the same time.

"It's okay, you're just practicing, don't think too much, just aim and shoot at the right moment. Even if a wild duck is hit by multiple arrows, it won't affect Tianxuan's cooking.

"Hush, are you all ready?" Hong Xiaoduo said, taking out a handful of stones and asked.

The five little guys nodded, took arrows from the quivers on their backs, put them on the strings, and took deep breaths with a little nervousness.

Hong Xiaoduo bent down, picked up a piece of dead wood, and threw it into the reeds not far away. The next moment, a few wild ducks flew up, and the five boys took aim and shot their arrows out with a gust of wind.

Of the eight wild ducks, three were shot and fell. Even if the children were quick to put arrows on the remaining five, the distance was still too far for them to shoot.

Hong Xiaoduo raised her hand, and the five wild ducks flapped their wings and fell down without any escape.

A few children wanted to cheer, but they were afraid of scaring the wild ducks farther away, so they suppressed their excitement and went forward to pick up the prey they had shot.

"Mom, I shot it."

"Mom, I shot it too."

"Mom, this is my arrow."

"And my arrows." Several children came to Hong Xiaoduo carrying wild ducks with arrow feathers on them and whispered excitedly.

There were three wild ducks, one of which was hit by two arrows. The arrow feathers of the six children all had their own marks, so they could be easily recognized.

Yaoguang was too young. Although she practiced archery on weekdays, she was only okay at close range, but she didn't have enough strength for flying. So, she was not allowed to participate today. She just followed with a bamboo basket and picked up wild duck eggs later.

Feiyan also came, carrying a large bamboo basket to hold the prey she had caught.

Of the five people holding bows and arrows, only Tianquan's arrow missed. With a red face, he didn't dare to look at Hong Xiaoduo. Yuheng was still his younger sister, but he shot one...

Thank you dear Muchuan Muzi for the reward of 100 starting coins (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
