The first ray of morning sunlight brings warmth to the cold winter and light to the depths of people's hearts.
After finishing their morning exercise, Old Ha and the others gathered together, basking in the sun and chatting.
Hui Shiba stretched lazily and said, "Finally, we don't have to dig today."
"Don't get too happy too soon; there's a group confrontation this afternoon," Hui Shiqi chid in, pouring cold water on his excitent.
Hui Shiba pouted, "At least we have so free ti this morning, right?"
Just as he finished speaking, the phones in everyone's pockets began to ring one after another.
In an instant, everyone's expressions changed.
It seems that the relaxing morning... is probably gone.
Sure enough, when they took out their phones, they saw the ssage Xiao Feng had sent in the group chat.
The ssage asked everyone to gather at Sun Shijie's place for an important task assignnt.
"Sigh..." Hui Yi shook his head and sighed, "What kind of life is this day after day?"
"Be careful what you say in the future, don't complain, especially in front of 'Agent Hart,'" Aspergillus oryzae said in a sarcastic tone. "If 'Agent Hart' casually reports on you, you'll end up in trouble."
"What do you an by that?" Old Ha grumbled. "How am I an agent?"
Aspergillus oryzae snorted coldly, "Aren't you the Boss's agent?
Every ti we say sothing, you secretly report it and turn it to your own benefit."
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Ha retorted angrily, "What proof do you have that I'm leaking information?"
"Do you even need proof? Anyone with eyes can see it."
"You old rascal, looking for a fight?" Old Ha rolled up his sleeves and said, "Nobody stop today; I'm going to rip this old man's mouth to shreds to stop him from spreading rumors all day long."
Aspergillus oryzae was not to be outdone and said, "Don't stop , watch how I deal with this old fart today."
However, as the two drew closer, they found that no one stepped forward to break them up; instead, everyone folded their arms, ready to watch the show.
"Go ahead and fight; we won't stop you," Lone Wolf said with a smile.
Lv Ziming shook his head with a wry smile, "After drinking last night, you were as close as brothers; by the next morning, you start acting like enemies.
Honestly, gender aside, I really think you two are a match made in heaven."
At that mont, Tiewa silently walked toward the exit by himself.
Old Ha's eyes lit up, and he imdiately thought of a way to break the awkward situation. He called out, "Tiewa, where are you going?"
Tiewa paused and replied, "I'm heading to Brother An's place first."
"Let's all go together; it's better to move as a group."
While speaking, Old Ha was already walking toward Tiewa, putting an arm around his shoulder and saying, "In life, everyone faces bumps and hurdles. Don't be afraid of difficulties..."
Tiewa was left bewildered. Before he realized it, he was already walking on the street.
Aspergillus oryzae scoffed, "See, this old guy is all bluster and no bite. If it ca to a fight, I'd take him down with one hand tied behind my back."
Those around exchanged glances, all finding it a bit absurd and funny.
While the group headed to report to Sun Shijie, Xiao Feng was sitting in his yard, slowly flipping through a notebook.
The notebook contained the translated Sanskrit by Hui Shiwu.
After flipping through from start to finish, Xiao Feng closed the notebook, deep in thought.
"Thirteen scriptures engraved on two spheres, what are they for?"
This question puzzled him greatly.
To say they're for warding off evil is plausible, but it seems too simple.
After pondering, Xiao Feng decided to put the matter aside for now.
Compared to unsolvable mysteries, the task at hand seed more pressing.
Last night's events had been unexpectedly fruitful.
Even Xiao Feng hadn't anticipated that his offhand remark would inadvertently uncover Bai Tieniu's fake location.
Moreover, it incidentally solved another problem: the arrangent for Ji Liangcai.
Once that kid cos back, the course here will likely wrap up.
"Good morning, Big Brother Xiao Feng." The little girl, having finished her morning routine, ca out of the villa and greeted with a smile.
Ever since Xiao Xiangzhu started laying eggs, the little girl had to give up her affairs with Fenghuaxueyue and stay at ho to take care of Xiao Xiangzhu wholeheartedly.
The reason was simple: Xiao Xiangzhu not only didn't allow anyone else to approach but also refused to eat food given by other people.
Also, worried about potential incidents, Xiao Feng decided to let the little girl stay until Xiao Xiangzhu hatched the eggs.
"I'm heading out for a bit later. Keep an eye on Xiao Xiangzhu," Xiao Feng instructed.
The little girl furrowed her brow, "Big Brother Xiao Feng, where are you going?"
For the little girl, Xiao Feng had nothing to hide and replied truthfully, "To buy so projectiles to add to the trap chanisms."
"I see, well, go early and co back early," the little girl replied casually, turning to feed Xiao Xiangzhu.
After breakfast, Xiao Feng headed straight to the nearest building materials market.
Such projectiles, openly sold, are mostly ineffectual.
Moreover, the interconnected chanisms require large quantities, and using custom-made ones would far exceed the budget in terms of ti and money.
In that case, each projectile could be considered as costly as gold.
Therefore, in the interest of economy and functionality, Xiao Feng didn't intend to get anything too fancy or precise—just sharp and capable of causing injury.
...
The entire morning, Xiao Feng spent on procurent, hiring a container to transport all the purchased items back.
The little girl imdiately hurried over, "Big Brother Xiao Feng, what did you buy?"
"You'll know once it's unloaded," Xiao Feng replied, signaling for the unloading to begin.
There were quite a few items, a total of ten large boxes.
The little girl opened one of them and saw it was filled with nails, each three milliters in diater and ten centiters long.
As for the quantity...it seed to be in the millions.
"So many?" the little girl exclaid.
Xiao Feng shook his head, "This isn't much. Based on the number fired each ti, they're only enough for half an hour."
The little girl was stunned.
Looking at the boxes filled with nails and thinking about Xiao Feng's "half an hour," her body involuntarily trembled.
If used as a target for half an hour, there might not even be ashes left, right?
Of course, the ten boxes weren't entirely filled with nails.
Besides the six boxes of nails, the remaining four contained razor blades, chili powder, pepper powder, and several large net pouches.
Xiao Feng clapped his hands, smiling at the little girl.
The little girl imdiately had a bad feeling and quickly said, "Big Brother Xiao Feng, I was planning to take Xiao Xiangzhu out for a walk this afternoon. Staying cooped up all the ti might make her sick."
"Don't worry, staying cooped up won't make her sick," Xiao Feng said cheerfully. "You just need to help load these into the chanisms this afternoon."
The little girl's face turned dark, almost wanting to boil Xiao Xiangzhu into a stew.
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have to stay at ho.
If she weren't ho, she wouldn't be used as a laborer.
