Chapter 3365 Burning Paper Money by the Lake
"Xiaobai, your AI movie-making technology is so cool! Could you give us a role sometime? Even a minor role would be fine! We don't ask for much, just a brief appearance and a couple of lines!"
Mei Fangfang said hopefully.
Xiao Wang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! We can help too! The fight scenes need extras, and we're physically strong!"
Commander Jiao looked down on him: "You're quite physically fit? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were in third grade!"
Xiao Wang was furious: "General Jiao, watch out, or I'll kill you with my Mantis Fist!"
Commander Jiao scoffed and laughed. Little Wang pointed at him and said to the crowd, "Look at this man, he's willing to risk his life for so-called dignity."
Liu Changjiang spurred, "If you're not happy, let's fight! Let's settle things with our fists."
Mei Fangfang fanned the flames: "Commander Jiao is too infuriating, and Xiao Wang doesn't know how to talk. Both of them have reason to be angry, and we can't judge. Let's fight. Whoever wins will be the boss."
The difference in physique between the two is like that between a windmill and a fake veteran—the disparity is enormous. It can only be said that if they were to actually fight, Xiao Wang would die peacefully.
Xiao Bai interrupted their argument, not wanting to see them fight, and said, "Next time we need male actors for a role, we'll definitely cast you! But acting isn't just about being physically strong; you have to listen to the director and not be a slacker!"
"We promise to obey!" Mei Fangfang and Xiao Wang immediately straightened their backs and said in unison.
After sitting at home for a while, the group went out for a stroll in the courtyard, saying it was to digest their food.
Wang Xiaoyu followed behind and asked, "Where are we going?"
Xiao Wang waved for him to follow: "You'll see when you come along."
Xiao Bai didn't know where they were taking her until they arrived at the artificial lake, followed the lakeside promenade, and reached the lakeside pavilion.
Liu Changjiang and his companions looked around suspiciously, making sure no one was coming.
"Mei Fangfang, take the things out," Liu Changjiang said.
Xiao Bai then noticed that Mei Fangfang was carrying a backpack. Mei Fangfang took off the backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out a handful of yellow papers!
Then he pulled out a bundle of incense and candles!
"What...what are you doing?" Xiaobai was shocked.
Liu Changjiang said, "Xiaobai, don't be surprised. We were very moved after watching your movie. We should thank our ancestors for building the life we have today, so we must not forget our roots. We should pay tribute to our martyrs here and burn paper money for our ancestors."
Commander Jiao nodded in agreement: "Yes! Let's burn some paper money for the martyrs to express our small respect."
Xiao Wang said seriously, "It's just a token gesture."
Mei Fangfang said, "Xiaobai, we've also prepared some incense and candles for you. Come join us later."
Xiao Bai and Wang Xiaoyu looked at each other, and Wang Xiaoyu asked timidly, "Um, do I have one?"
Mei Fangfang shook her head: "I didn't prepare anything for you, so just be a spectator."
Wang Xiaoyu: "..."
Xiao Bai was so shocked by their outrageous actions that she didn't know what to say: "I don't even know how to describe you guys~~"
Xiao Wang took out a porcelain bowl from his pocket, which was half full of soil. He placed it on the ground with a smile. Mei Fangfang lit incense and candles, put them in the bowl, lit paper money, knelt down and bowed several times, then stood up and said, "It's your turn."
Liu Changjiang was the second to step forward, and everyone took turns, until it was Xiaobai's turn...
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then followed suit, lighting incense, burning paper money, and bowing three times and kowtowing nine times.
She stood up, brushed the dust off her knees, and was about to speak when she heard a strange voice shouting from not far away, "Who's playing with fire there?!"
Everyone turned to look, and saw a middle-aged man in a security guard uniform hurrying towards them, with two young security guards walking briskly five or six meters behind him.
"Oh no!" Mei Fangfang exclaimed urgently, quickly grabbing her schoolbag. "The wind's too strong, get out of here!"
He turned around and ran towards the lakeside promenade on the other side, thinking he had reacted quickly enough, but to his surprise, someone had run ahead of him. Judging from the back, it was none other than Xiaobai!
Mei Fangfang looked back and saw that Liu Changjiang and the others had followed. Unsurprisingly, Xiao Wang and Wang Xiaoyu were running at the back.
Three security guards were chasing after him, shouting, "Stop! Who gave you permission to play with fire?! Stop right there!!"
They ran even faster, darting into the woods by the lake and disappearing in no time.
In a corner near the wall in the distance, a group of people gathered, leaning against the wall, panting heavily. They were all exhausted, but their spirits were high and their eyes were bright.
Mei Fangfang looked around and burst into laughter: "We weren't caught, hahaha, it's impossible for us to be caught!!"
Commander Jiao said, "Weren't we seen clearly?"
Liu Changjiang said, "I was definitely not seen clearly; I ran away covering my face."
Seeing that the group was chatting enthusiastically, Xiaobai couldn't help but say, "Xiao Wang and Wang Xiaoyu didn't come! Aren't you worried?"
The three then realized that they had lost two of their companions.
Xiao Bai was speechless. How come these two grown-up people weren't noticed at first?
Mei Fangfang asked worriedly, "Won't they get arrested?"
Jiao Dashuai said, "That guy Xiao Wang is quick-witted, he probably won't get caught, but Wang Xiaoyu is a possibility."
He looked at Xiaobai, who thought for a moment and nodded. She also felt that if any of them were arrested, it would most likely be Wang Xiaoyu.
After discussing it for a while, the group decided to go back and look for it.
As soon as they stepped out of the woods, they saw Xiao Wang and Wang Xiaoyu by the roadside. Mei Fangfang opened her mouth to greet them, but Jiao Dashuai covered her mouth and dragged her back into the woods, telling the others to quickly retreat as well.
"They've been arrested," Jiao Dashuai said.
The group also noticed the security guards next to Xiao Wang and Wang Xiaoyu; the two unlucky guys were being questioned.
Xiao Bai muttered, "Shovel, Wang Xiaoyu really got arrested. I should have known better than to bring him out."
Liu Changjiang said, "Don't worry, the security guards won't do anything to them. They'll release them in a bit. Let's go first. Don't go over there; that would be walking into a trap."
Xiao Bai asked, "Aren't you worried that Xiao Wang will expose you?"
Mei Fangfang laughed and said, "Although Xiao Wang is often unreliable, he definitely won't betray us."
After the group left, Xiao Wang and Wang Xiaoyu indeed came looking for them a while later.
Xiao Bai asked with concern, "How are you? You weren't beaten up, were you?"
Xiao Wang laughed heartily: "No, no, how could we be beaten? We're perfectly fine."
Commander Jiao joked, "Little Wang, you're no good. You managed to get arrested like this."
Xiao Wang said, "I didn't want to run, so I deliberately slowed down so they could catch me. Anyway, they'll just ask me a few more questions, so what!"
Wang Xiaoyu nodded. He was very worried at first, but he was only asked a few questions and told not to burn paper money outside in the future.
Xiao Bai asked, "You didn't give us away, did you?"
Xiao Wang patted his chest and guaranteed that there was absolutely no supply.
"But they know it's you."
Everyone turned to look at him. Xiao Wang quickly said, "I didn't betray you, but the security guard guessed it. We often hang out together. There are only a few of us handsome guys in the compound. Only a fool wouldn't guess."
Liu Changjiang said, "That makes sense, but if we haven't caught anyone, then we shouldn't admit it. If we don't admit it, then we're not us."
The group strolled around outside for a while before sending Xiaobai and Wang Xiaoyu back, as Xiaobai still needed to return to Little Red Horse Academy.
