Tianya thought for a moment and said, "When we help others, we should put our own family first. Mother-in-law said, first protect our own family, and then help those we can help when conditions permit. We only do what we can."
"Tianya is absolutely right," the other four children nodded in agreement.
It seemed that their journey had profoundly affected the children.
Bai Sheng praised, "Each of you has spoken very sensibly, and I think you are all wonderful."
Lu Ye also smiled and nodded at them with satisfaction.
The five children were all proud to be praised by their sister-in-law (the elder madam, mother-in-law) again.
Others looked at the children and sighed inwardly, feeling that Lu Ye and Bai Sheng (the two masters) had raised the children very well.
Wen Zhimou decided that if he had children, he would directly send them to his younger sister and brother-in-law's home.
Wei Han also thought about how his children would be in the future, but he realized he didn't even have a shadow of a wife. Alas, never mind, he wouldn't think about it.
Yang Ming: He wouldn't have children if he couldn't have them with the woman he loved. In the future, the children of the elder master and elder madam would be his own children.
Bai Sheng looked at Lu Yun, "Yun, you want to save these people and have no poor people in the world. Just giving them a little food won't save them.
To truly save them, the problem must be solved from the root cause, such as preventing them from suffering from war, having the ability to resist natural disasters, having land to farm, having crops to harvest, and gaining something from labor.
And the person who can solve the problem from the root cause can only be someone in a high position. 'If you are in a position, then you plan for it.' If you are not in that position, and only have ideas, it can only be wishful thinking, adding to your troubles. Little Yun, do you think you have such ability now?"
"No," Lu Yun honestly shook his head, "I am just an ordinary child among ordinary people."
Bai Sheng didn't want to push the children too hard, but the atmosphere had been built up to this point, so she could only go with the flow. After all, it wasn't a bad thing. "Then what do you think you should do in the future?"
Lu Yun put down his chopsticks and said firmly, "Sister-in-law, I will study hard and practice martial arts diligently. When I grow up, I will hold a high position!"
"Good, ambitious!" Wen Zhimou gave a thumbs-up.
Tian Dou and Tie Zhu immediately pledged their loyalty, "Boss, we will follow you as your henchmen!"
"Good! We will share fortune and hardship together!"
Everyone laughed heartily.
Seeing his second brother performing so well in front of his sister-in-law, Lu Yu also wiped his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, I will become the best chef and make the most delicious food in the future."
Bai Sheng smiled and praised, "Good, I believe our Little Yu can definitely do it."
Seeing that everyone had something they liked to do, Tianya was not to be outdone, "Mother-in-law, I will protect you, Master, and my younger sister and brothers in the future." He always remembered what his master said when he picked him up, and in the future, he would also follow Brother Xiao Yun to practice martial arts diligently.
"Good, good, good, with our Tianya protecting me, I can rest assured," Bai Sheng said affectionately.
Everyone sat around and finished dinner, chatting and laughing.
Tong Tie and the maids were responsible for cleaning up.
The children Lu Yun and others pestered Lu Ye to explain the inner strength cultivation methods to them. Starting tomorrow, they would get up with the rooster and practice.
Yang Ming and Wei Han continued to patrol the four directions.
Bai Sheng got into the carriage, wanting to see how the four cubs were sleeping. But when she lifted the curtain, she was suddenly startled and screamed.
Lu Ye flashed over instantly at the sound, and others also rushed over in a panic.
In the crib, the other three cubs were fast asleep, while their Huahua was holding a small black snake, about as thick as a finger, and "aah-ing," seemingly... having a great time.
The small black snake was clearly a highly venomous species. Fortunately, it had not yet shown any signs of aggression.
Bai Sheng felt her heart stop, not daring to move rashly, for fear of startling the little snake and causing it to bite Huahua.
Lu Ye was also extremely shocked. Just as he was about to slowly approach and throw away the little black snake, he saw Huahua wave her little hand and shake the little black snake onto the crib.
Lu Ye quickly grabbed the little black snake by the neck with his fingers and threw it out of the carriage.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Sheng called out, "My little darling!" and immediately stepped forward to pick up Huahua and check if she had been bitten by the little black snake.
Fortunately, Huahua had no snakebite marks on her body, and Bai Sheng breathed a great sigh of relief.
"Little darling, why do you play with snakes when you can play with anything else?" Bai Sheng kissed Huahua's little face, tears involuntarily flowing out. That scene just now had almost scared her to death. If she had come a moment later and Huahua had been bitten by the venomous snake, how could she live?
Huahua was kissed several times by her mother and giggled happily, her bright eyes clear and pure.
Lu Ye also stepped forward and embraced the mother and daughter. He had also broken out in a cold sweat. His little "cotton-padded jacket" was truly fearless.
Seeing this, everyone gradually dispersed.
Wen Zhimou clutched his chest and said to Wei Han with lingering fear, "Brother Wei, my niece is too fierce. That was a venomous snake, and she dared to play with it in her hands."
"Indeed, a tiger father has no dog daughters," Wei Han nodded. He wanted to say that his surname was not Wei. "Wei Han" was the name given to him by the sect leader himself without a surname. Speaking of which, it was a long story, and he didn't like to talk much, so he wouldn't say it.
Brother Wei is Brother Wei, which is better than being hunched.
Wen Zhimou looked at Wei Han steadily, always feeling a slight sense of familiarity, but he couldn't say where it was.
Wei Han glanced at him and calmly walked to a distant place to patrol.
The wet nurses felt very guilty. They felt they should have stayed with the young masters at all times. The scene just now was too terrifying.
Lu Huo said to the other three maids that she should have asked the mistress to make a saddlebag with four sitting pockets, and she would carry the four young masters on her back every day, so that no snakes, insects, or rats would scare them.
Hearing Lu Huo's idea, Qiu Dong and Qiu Xi glanced at Bai Sheng, then at the cartoon piglet bag slung across Lu Ye's shoulder, and whispered to Huo, "Huo, what kind of four-pocket saddlebag do you want? Tell us, we'll help you make it. Haven't you seen the mistress's needlework with your own eyes?"
After speaking, they gestured in Lu Ye's direction.
Lu Huo chuckled, "Right, right, the mistress's needlework... ahaha..."
The little black snake from last night happened to roll onto Shanying's head.
After the little black snake rolled to the ground, Shanying lowered his head, looked at it, and hissed its forked tongue at it. The little black snake was so scared that it shrunk back.
Baoyu also "howled" a few times at the little black snake.
However, when they set off the next day, everyone saw a clump of black droppings coiled on Shanying's head, which was last night's little black snake.
Humph, trying to sneak into the space through Shanying? Bai Sheng snorted. If it hadn't disturbed her Huahua, she might have let it go.
Little Black Snake: Can I say I'm innocent? I really wasn't trying to scare Huahua.
