"Mother, why are they looking at us?" Hao'er asked in a low voice. He saw that the people behind him were looking at them from time to time. Some were even walking behind them, looking at them and talking to them in a low voice.
Feng Jiu smiled slightly and said, "You have to get used to this kind of gaze. When you grow up, you will encounter such things again. As for their curiosity and scrutiny, you just need to be yourself and be open-minded without caring about their scrutiny and comments."
"Oh." Hao'er responded, glanced at them and then looked away.
"Hao'er, take it." Guan Xilin bought a candied haws from somewhere and handed it over.
"Thank you, uncle." Haoer thanked him and then reached out to take it. He took a bite and it was sour and sweet and very delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Guan Xilin asked with a smile.
"Delicious." Hao'er responded with a big smile on his face.
While they were shopping on the street, they occasionally went into some curio shops to buy some more expensive things. It was already evening when they arrived at the west of the city.
After Qin Xin helped them book a lightship, she let them all get on board. She sat at the bow and took out her zither to add to the fun.
Hao'er couldn't stay in the cabin, so he came to the bow and saw Qinxin playing the piano, the boatman rowing the boat at the stern, and his mother and uncle chatting in the cabin. So he lay down on the deck and stretched out his hand to play with the lake water in front of him.
"It's so cool and the water is so clear. I wonder if there are any fish in it?" Hao'er said as he looked into the water curiously and fiddled with it with his little hands. He could only faintly pick up a few water droplets with his fingertips.
"Young master, you can't lie down and play in the water like this. It's very dangerous." Qin Xin stopped playing the piano and spoke softly to Hao'er.
"I won't fall in." Hao'er said, and he stirred the water again, asking, "Are there any fish in this lake?"
"There must be fish in the lake." Qin Xin said, put away the zither, walked to Hao'er's side and guarded him to prevent him from falling into the lake.
"It would be fun if we could go down to the lake and catch fish." After all, he was only six years old and was naturally playful.
Qin Xin smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly, her expression changed. She reached out and suddenly picked up Hao'er who was lying on the bed. She stepped back and quickly moved aside.
Just at this moment, a hand suddenly jumped out from the originally calm lake surface, and the hand stretched straight out from the water to grab Haoer. If she had not reacted quickly and carried Haoer away, Haoer would probably have been pulled into the lake by that hand.
The sound of splashing water broke the calm of the lake. Almost at that moment, more than twenty figures flew out from the bottom of the water in all directions of the lake. They pointed their swords directly at the ship and launched an attack quickly.
If you pay close attention, you can notice that those people appear to be attacking Fengjiu and the others, but they are actually heading for Haoer.
Feng Jiu and the others in the cabin flew out and saw the men in black dispersing around them. Her eyes turned cold and the pressure around her radiated outwards. The powerful aura instantly stunned the men in black and made them unable to move.
However, in just a moment, the pressure was interrupted. Suddenly, a beast jumped out from one of the men in black, opened its huge mouth and bit Qin Xin and Hao Er...
