Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 666 Old Man Luo, shall we meet the living ancestor?
In less than a quarter of an hour, Hong Xiaoduo arrived at Gong Wei's tent. He hadn't rested yet and was sitting around a table with several soldiers, discussing which location would be more secure and suitable for the next garrison.

Just as Dou Suyi was about to call her husband, Hong Xiaoduo stopped her and whispered to her that her own affairs were not urgent and that she should not disturb them from discussing important matters.

Dou Suyi quickly invited her to sit down and poured her a bowl of hot water, apologetically saying that there was no tea.

"It's alright, Madam, go about your business and don't worry about me. We're family, no need for such formalities," Hong Xiaoduo said softly.

Dou Suyi pulled up a simple chair and sat down next to her, saying in a low voice, "It's alright, you don't need me right now. Did no one give you any trouble when you came over?"

Ten miles outside of Baishi City, outwards to both sides, points were set up to guard the area.

It's alright during the day, but at night, the guards are even more rigorous.

"It was quite a coincidence that I ran into Deputy General Yan, who was on patrol, just as I left the city. He knew I was coming, so he personally escorted me here. So, everything went very smoothly," Hong Xiaoduo told her with a smile.

Gong Wei looked up unintentionally and saw Hong Xiaoduo. He immediately walked over, and the other generals also came over to greet Hong Xiaoduo.

"General, please attend to your own business first," Hong Xiaoduo said, standing up.

"Our business won't be delayed by a little while. Why is Miss Hong coming over so late at night?" Gong Wei suddenly paused, because he realized that he wasn't sure whether Hong Xiaoduo's visit at this time was about her child's private matters or about the defense of the city.

"Here's the thing, a friend from the martial arts world sent over the provisions and supplies he obtained from the enemy. They're in a cave at the foot of the mountain south of the city. I've been there; the cave is well-ventilated, not damp, and quite secluded."

I've inspected all the provisions and supplies, and they're fine. If we don't need them for the time being, it's good to just store them there, just in case!
"This is the location. The cave entrance is currently concealed by vines. When the general has time, he can also try to conceal it with stones." After Hong Xiaoduo finished speaking, she took out a folded piece of paper and handed it over.

"There's still... there's also grain and supplies?" Gong Wei took it in disbelief.

This battle has never been fought so peacefully and with such prosperity!

In previous years, when enemy countries invaded and battles broke out, he and his generals were not afraid of being wounded or dying, but they were afraid that the supplies and provisions from the rear would not arrive in time.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. I won't keep you discussing important matters any longer, Generals. Farewell." Hong Xiaoduo looked at the generals still in the tent and knew that their discussion was not yet over, so she didn't say anything more.

Although Hong Xiaoduo didn't want to be seen off, Gong Wei still personally saw her off.

Putting aside the great help this young lady Hong had given us before, she just came late at night to inform us of the location of the remaining grain and supplies. She said they were delivered by friends from the martial arts world, so it must have been at her behest.

Otherwise, why haven't any martial arts figures sent them a single grain of rice all these years?

He had just told Hong Xiaoduo to express his and the border soldiers' gratitude to those martial arts figures, but in his heart, he was truly indebted to her for this great favor.

They say they'll remember it, but how exactly will they repay this enormous favor?
I asked my son, and he said that Hong Xiao Niangzi never expects anything in return for helping people, and she doesn't lack money.

My son said that all we need to do when we're with her is to treat her with sincerity.

As for the thank-you gift, sincerity is enough; the amount and value don't matter.

The son said that he would repay his mother's great kindness in his own way when he grew up.

Despite his son's words, Gong Wei was not going to listen to him. He had already written back to his hometown to explain the situation to his parents and asked them to prepare a thank-you gift that was as generous as possible, even if it meant selling some of their property.

There was nothing they could do; his family was a military clan, and he wasn't corrupt, so even if they wanted to give him too much, they simply couldn't afford it.

Hong Xiaoduo rode Little Gray back home; yes, it was Little Gray.

Even after she discovered that the little black thief was following her, he still tried to please her by shaking his head, rubbing his arm, biting his clothes, and acting cute.

Hong Xiaoduo still didn't soften her heart and chose Little Gray again. To prevent Little Black Gray from sneaking in, she simply put it into her space.

Otherwise, even if you tie it up or lock it up, it won't work. This thing has become a spirit. Even if it speaks human language, Hong Xiaoduo wouldn't find it strange.

The safest place is inside; if she doesn't let it out, it can't get out.

To prevent this thing from getting too comfortable in the space and then trying to enter it again, she also redesigned the scene where she locked it up, changing the beautiful grassland into the appearance of an ancient stable.

There wasn't any hay or fodder in the manger. If she weren't worried about traumatizing the animal, she'd practically turned it into a dark room.

But that won't work. It's only occasionally a little rebellious. With it around, whether it's a human-carrying vehicle or a four-legged cart, it can manage everything. There's no need to hire drivers for any of the carts. Tian Shu just sits on the shaft, making a show of it. It saves him a lot of trouble.

The main reason wasn't because it was convenient or saved her the cost of hiring a driver—she wasn't short of money. After more than two years of living together, she had long considered it part of the family.

After returning to her residence in the city, Hong Xiaoduo took Xiao Hui to the stable and released Xiao Hei from her spatial storage.

Seeing its listless appearance, Hong Xiaoduo almost couldn't help but laugh.

I took two apples from my spatial storage and shared them with the other two. Only then did Xiao Hei visibly perk up.

It was getting late, and considering that they hadn't finalized their route plan yet, Hong Xiaoduo didn't bother giving Xiao Hei any moral lesson and quickly went back to her room.

Although the rooms on either side of her room were all dark, Hong Xiaoduo knew that the people inside were not asleep at all.

"Cough cough, humph." Hong Xiaoduo coughed loudly outside her room on purpose, making a noise before opening the door and going inside.

In her room, an oil lamp was lit, water was heating on the stove, there was a bucket of cold water next to the washstand, and a dry cloth was draped over the foot basin.

Seeing everything in the room, Hong Xiaoduo felt a mix of emotions—a feeling of happiness and warmth, yet also a touch of sadness.

How could she bear to leave them?

After a quick wash, he entered his spatial dimension, turned on his computer, and input the addresses of the Tian Shu, Tian Ji, and Yu Heng families, as well as the address of Tian Quan's hometown. He also uploaded a national map of Feng Liang Kingdom. In less than three minutes, he had created the best route guide.

In fact, in terms of distance, the Tianji family is closest to Huazhou, while the farthest is the Yuheng family, which is the fiefdom of Prince Yi.

Wanting to try her luck for Yao Guang, Hong Xiaoduo chose to go to Yu Heng's house first.

Yao Guang was the youngest, and although the little girl spoke casually, saying it didn't matter if they couldn't find her.

Although Hong Xiaoduo knew that even if she left this place and returned to the modern world, Fei Yan and Quan Jinghuai, whoever they were, would take good care of Yao Guang.

However, Hong Xiaoduo still hoped to help this little girl find a home as well.

She had just turned off her computer when Old Luo came online.

"What a coincidence, I was just looking for you too." Hong Xiaoduo greeted the old man on the screen on the wall and then told Old Man Luo everything about Tian Shu and his older brother.

Old Luo was a little stunned after hearing this. At that moment, if Hong Xiaoduo hadn't seen Old Luo blink on the screen, she would have thought that the signal in this space was bad and stuck.

"So, you mean my grandfather was the older brother of that kid named Tian Shu? My grandfather was originally from this time and space you live in?"

When she lost her younger brother and left home to look for him, somehow she ended up here in our time?

"My God, is this really true? Xiao Duo, are you sure you're not joking with me?" Old Luo still found it hard to believe.

But then I realized, no wonder she asked about her grandfather's name earlier.

"Okay, you're not kidding, but if that's the case, my grandfather is so smart to have invented this time-space teleportation device, why doesn't he send himself back and continue looking for his brother?"

"Could it be that he can't bear to leave his family here? Is he afraid that if something goes wrong after he returns here, he won't be able to go back?" Old Luo said again.

“That’s your grandfather. You don’t even know him, how would I know?” Hong Xiaoduo said speechlessly, looking at the agitated old man Luo.

"If it's time travel, did he travel by soul or reincarnate here?" Old Luo asked again.

"As for the specifics, I guess you'll be able to find out once you crack the key your grandfather set up."

"By the way, would you like to meet your great-grandfather? And your great-great-grandfather and great-great-great-grandfather are still alive too. Living ancestors like them—others might want to see them but never have the chance," Hong Xiaoduo asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously…
