The Liulin Township Linmu Village, where Xia Nuo's ancestral home was located, is a village surrounded by mountains and rivers, with lovely scenery, and it truly felt to Fang You like a place straight out of Peach Blossom Land.
But the thing is... it's just too noisy at home!
After the arrival of more people, there was a constant chatter everywhere, and Xia Anyang and Lin Yi, who had come back from the city, were surrounded by relatives and friends, packed in so tightly that not even water could leak through.
Xia Nuo and Fang You managed to escape from the adults' clinging hugs and ran out, holding hands, frolicking and playing in the yard.
From now on, it would be a setting free from adult supervision.
"You You," Xia Nuo said to Fang You, "let's go see the animals together!"
"Let's go!"
Although Xia Nuo had been to the village before, she was just a baby then and didn't remember anything, so today, her eyes were filled with curiosity about all sorts of new and fascinating animals.
The children in Xia Nuo's family were either middle school students preoccupied with playing video games or babies still in swaddling clothes, so there was no one to play with them.
But Xia Nuo said Fang You was enough for her; she kept dragging him here and there, embarking on their grand adventure in the village.
"You You, look! These are chickens! Cluck, cluck, cluck!"
Xia Nuo followed the hen and mimicked the clucking sound, and the hens scattered as Xia Nuo chased after them.
"Ducks? Quack, quack, quack!"
Imitating the swimming ducks in the pond, Xia Nuo bent her body and waggled her little bottom, swaying side to side while turning her head to look at Fang You, "Do I look like them, do I look like them?"
Xia Nuo and Fang You passed through the backyard vegetable garden when they heard an unusual noise.
"I, I think I hear the pigs!"
The domestic pigs were penned in the pigsty, with the inside door locked and the outer concrete walls high - Xia Nuo couldn't reach, so she looked at Fang You and stretched out her arms wanting a hug from You You.
"Lift me up to see, You You!"
Fang You showed off his talent "Extraordinary Wrist Strength" and lifted Xia Nuo high into the air with ease.
But having invincible wrist strength didn't mean his arm strength was also enhanced, and Fang You couldn't hold on for long before letting Xia Nuo ride on his shoulders, which was less tiring.
"Wow, wow!"
"The piggies are really this big and fat!"
This was Xia Nuo's first new realization about pigs, "I thought they were all as small as Peppa and George, hmph."
When the pig noticed it was being watched by the children, it huffed and puffed as it rolled out of the mud, flapping its big ears, and waddled towards Xia Nuo.
"It seems like it wants me to ride it, You You, let's go in, let's go in, I want to be a pig knight!"
"No, it's too dangerous..."
Fang You carried Xia Nuo and ran.
"I'm knight You You, charge, charge, charge!"
Xia Nuo clung tightly to Fang You's neck, urging him to run fast everywhere, having the time of her life.
...
"See this scar on my forehead? That was bitten by Brother Dong just two days ago! Brother Dong is evil and does all sorts of bad things, and today we're here to eliminate this harm for the people!"
"Right, to eliminate harm for the people!" Er Gua said, wiping his nose and nodding his head.
"To eliminate harm!" Ding Ding stamped his stick into the ground after each sentence.
"Cool, that sounds fun!"
Xia Nuo excitedly clapped her hands, "Then, I'll help you too! Do you want to join, You You?"
"Nonsense! Meng Ran gang is the strongest gang in Lin Mu village, it's not for little kids like you to join just like that!"
Lin Mengran looked disdainfully at Xia Nuo as if driving her away, "You better go back to mommy and have some milk!"
"I've long stopped drinking milk!"
Xia Nuo said, waving her fists, "You You and I are both very strong. Nobody dares to bully us in kindergarten!"
"Kindergarten... Pfff—hahaha!"
Lin Mengran and her underlings all laughed.
"You, mere kindergarten kids, dare to challenge Brother Dong?"
"He's a tyrant even we elementary schoolers don't dare to mess with."
"They must have never seen how strong Brother Dong is. Once you face the terror of Brother Dong, you will, you will be scared enough to roll back home and drink milk!"
"Let me see, let me see!"
Xia Nuo said seriously, "No matter how evil or bad Brother Dong is, You You and I will work together and surely help you defeat him!"
...
At this moment, Fang You was in deep thought.
It felt like this Brother Dong they were talking about didn't seem like a—
Just then, another little boy stumbled and tumbled over, hurrying toward Lin Mengran to whisper:
"Report, Gang Leader, the target is spotted ahead. Brother Dong will enter our ambush spot soon!"
Lin Mengran immediately put on a serious face: "All members, prepare for first-level combat!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xia Nuo also saluted alongside, with an earnest attitude.
"Kids, beat it!"
Despite being scorned, Xia Nuo still grabbed Fang You's hand and rushed to the battlefield with great urgency.
Following the direction the children were pointing, Fang You confirmed his guess.
Just as expected...
The Brother Dong that the kids were talking about turned out to be a strutting, majestic goose!
