Chapter 25: Throwing the Knife Around

Under the temptation of braised pork trotters, Xie Chaochao learned diligently for an hour.

At night, she ate the braised pork trotters that she had been longing for.

Xie Zhou looked at his daughter’s painting, which he could hardly tell what was drawn, and fell silent.

Perhaps handing his daughter over to the old man was the right choice.

At the very least, he could teach Chaochao how to draw and practice words, just like other normal children.

Xie Zhou acknowledged the old man’s actions.

Seeing that the food could no longer tempt Xie Chaochao, the old man saw that Xie Chaochao was interested in the knives in his box, so he gave them to her as a reward.

Xie Chaochao had learned diligently for a period of time, and her drawing skills had improved significantly.

Xie Chaochao brought the knives she got from Grandpa to school.

She even showed off the knives in front of a group of children.

However, Little Fatty said, “Xie Chaochao, your knife is too small. I’ll get you a kitchen knife from my house tomorrow. It’s much bigger than yours!”

“Let me get you a machete. My father uses it to chop bones. It’s very sharp!”

Under the temptation of the candy from Xie Chaochao, the group of children fawned over her.

Xie Chaochao shook her head. “I don’t want your kitchen knife. Mine is the best! It can even be used as a dart!”

As Xie Chaochao spoke, she flung a knife out.

It missed the target and fell to the ground halfway.

Little Fatty hurriedly ran over to pick it up for her.

Xie Chaochao continued shooting while Little Fatty kept picking them up for her at the back.

The corners of Hei Wa’s mouth twitched at the sight of this.

This little fatty was now Xie Chaochao’s lackey.

Fortunately, Xie Chaochao’s accuracy became much better, so the knives didn’t fall to the ground. That was why Little Fatty didn’t have to run back and forth.

With Xie Chaochao as the leader, the children went to school holding knives. Some held kitchen knives, while someone even held a machete.

After a few days of practice, Xie Chaochao’s accuracy in shooting knives improved.

She managed to hit a single spot several times.

“Xie Chaochao, my machete is very powerful. Use this!”

The little kid wanted to use this to exchange for a candy from Xie Chaochao, and continuously encouraged her.

Sun Limin dared not say anything to stop the students from playing with their knives every day.

She was still hoping that Xie Chaochao would bring her a fat boy!

If Xie Chaochao was dissatisfied, what would happen if she couldn’t conceive a son?

…

There was a hotel in town where three people were sitting.

One of them had a big gold chain around his neck. He had a centre parting which was combed until it was shiny.

The two people beside him, one fat and one thin, were currently discussing something.

“Brother Qiang, isn’t she just a little girl? Is there a need to be so cautious?”

As soon as the fatty finished speaking, the skinny man retorted, “Haven’t you heard? The people from the Shanbai Village are all very valiant. We have to make a thorough plan this time. If we succeed, we can escape unscathed!”

“Those are all rumors. It’s fake. It’s just a poor village. What can the people there do?”

The fatty was unbothered.

The middle-aged man known as “Brother Qiang” held a small knife in his hand. The knife was engraved with patterns and there was a red tassel on the handle. It looked like it was worth a lot of money.

He glanced at the two people who were talking and said, “We must make sure that nothing goes wrong. We must bring that little girl out! Otherwise, no one will get the money!”

“Brother Qiang, is there any information on that little girl? Why do we have to kidnap her?”

The two of them were very puzzled. Logically speaking, she was just a brat from a poor village. It was impossible for her to become enemies with others!

Brother Qiang waved his hand. “You think too much. As long as we bring her out, we can get the money. Who cares if there is a grudge!”

“It says that the little girl is the prettiest girl in the village. You’ll be able to recognize her when you meet her!”

The skinny man was smart. He immediately thought of a solution. “Brother Qiang, we can pretend to be the leaders of the inspection team and go straight to the kindergarten. The kindergarten is full of children. It’s easy to deal with them!”

Brother Qiang smiled and patted his shoulder. “Sure, let’s do that!”
