Chapter 7 This is a case of using someone else to do one's dirty work.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall man wearing a coat, sunglasses, and a black top hat. It was Carles.
Navia jumped down from behind Tian Yaochen, and Kares immediately picked her up. However, Kares was still wondering why Navia was there.
Navia recounted everything that had happened along the way. Kares also picked up on a few key phrases: several children and the Fool's Musketeers playing hide-and-seek.
There was definitely something wrong, and hearing Navia mention that several members of the Fools were still lingering outside Whitesong Town only confirmed my earlier suspicions. The Fools were after them.
After a period of interrogation, Carles learned that these children were from the Hearth House. They were hiding here to prepare for a disguise test.
Carles had also heard of the Hearth House, an institution built to take in orphans. Looking at these children, who were only teenagers, Carles's guard relaxed somewhat.
At this moment, another group of fools appeared outside Baisong Town, bringing several children with them. The children's disguise failed, and they didn't seem nervous when they were caught.
They seemed completely unaware of what was about to happen. After exchanging glances, the group of fools also blindfolded the children.
They were told that this was what their mother said, and that the child who lost would be punished. Several children, unaware of the seriousness of the situation, stood there with their eyes covered.
Just as the two musketeers in the Fools raised their guns and were about to pull the triggers, two bullets suddenly flew past and instantly pierced through their arms.
The other members of the Fools instantly realized what was happening, quickly bracing themselves for battle and looking in the direction the guns had been fired. They saw a dense group of people dressed in black and wearing sunglasses approaching.
Their hands were also full of guns, swords, and axes; the leader was a woman carrying a submachine gun. The woman spoke first.
"Capture them alive! If Navia loses even a single hair today, chop them up and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
In Baisong Town, Cares was about to say something when he heard a fierce gunfire, like thunder, erupt from above. Hearing the gunfire...
It was as if countless people were firing machine guns from above. The thunderous gunfire finally ceased after a long while, leaving the people of Baisong Town still bewildered.
No one knew what had happened upstairs, but then Qiuhe slowly descended from the cave entrance with a woman in tow.
The woman, seeing Navia standing on the ground in the distance, rushed over with great concern and hugged Navia.
When Carles saw that the visitor was Blackali, he asked about the situation above. Everyone then learned that Qiuhe had returned to Gray River and found Blackali.
And then she cried and told people that Navia had been captured by the Fools. Upon hearing this, Blackali was struck dumb.
Thinking of the two Fools musketeers he had seen at the Grey River, he was now filled with rage, his eyes blazing with fury, his expression as if he wanted to devour someone.
Blackali gritted his teeth and asked bitterly, "Where are those bastards?" Now that everything was over, Qiuhe had also confessed everything.
At this point, Blackali realized he had been used as a pawn and was initially very angry, but then he thought that these children were also trying to complete their exams and avoid the Fools.
And thinking of the blindfolded children on the roof earlier, Blackali believed Qiuhe's words and decided not to pursue the matter further.
Qiuhe and his group returned to the ground. Apart from Qiuhe, the rest of the group saw that the ground was in a mess.
The nearby trees were also swept into a sieve, which was astonishing, and several Fools lay on the ground, barely alive.
Although not fatally wounded, his hands and feet were riddled with bullet holes. He lay on the ground, still clinging to life.
"Lei, why did you order them to be beaten like this? What will Mother do if she finds out?" Claire was also very worried about this.
They still think that failing this exam will at most result in a harsher punishment, but little do they know that failing this exam could cost them their lives.
"I had you carry Navia on your backs because I wanted you to pretend to be his family members to fool him, and then I would go back to Fontainebleau, change my clothes, and change my identity."
"But then I realized that the Fools might know Navia, and I was afraid he would be in danger because of us, so I had no choice but to go find reinforcements."
When Qiuhe said these words, she pretended to be nervous, uneasy, and afraid. This was the only way Qiuhe could deceive them for the time being.
After all, if you told them now that Kujavina was an absolute demon, they definitely wouldn't believe you, and might even think that Qiuhe wanted to betray the House of Hearths.
Everyone panicked upon seeing Qiuhe's condition, unsure of what to do. Meanwhile, Blackali emerged from Baisong Town onto the surface.
Seeing the children's tense expressions, I guessed what had happened. "You, throw these...those dying dogs into the river!"
They saw several Fools soldiers being thrown into the river by the men in black. Everyone was shocked, wondering how there could be such a ruthless woman.
Blackali also said that the best way to deal with these kinds of people is to just throw them into the river. You guys should hurry home, or your mothers will probably be worried.
Qiuhe realized it was almost noon, so he grabbed Claire's hand and hurried with everyone towards the Hearth House.
Blackali, who was behind them, seemed to remember something and suddenly called out to Qiuhe and the others, "Wait a minute!" Qiuhe hadn't even realized what was going on when he stopped.
Suddenly, Claire's foot slipped, and she fell into a pit. Seeing this, Blackali covered his face in exasperation and said...
"Those are all traps dug by hunters to catch forest boars." Everyone quickly pulled Claire out of the pit.
At this moment, Akikawa noticed that Clementine had twisted her ankle, and it seemed quite serious. Previously, he had only planned for Navia to pretend to sprain her ankle.
Now things are really messed up. Klevy has genuinely sprained her ankle. Qiuhe told them to take Klevy back first, while he himself returned to Fontainebleau, unsure of what to do next.
Inside the Fireplace House Restaurant
Peruvieri carried Clévius back to the restaurant with everyone, and at that moment, Akikawa also returned to the restaurant, panting heavily.
But he looked as if he was about to run out of breath and faint at any moment. And everyone looked at the restaurant overflowing with children.
It seems quite a few people passed this exam. However, looking at the number of children, it's clear that some are missing.
Everyone assumed the children had been taken away for punishment, but only Qiuhe knew he would never see them again.
Claire also got off Peruvier. "Pepe, Leigh, could you please not tell Mother about my twisted ankle? I don't want her to worry."
Qiuhe looked at Claire with immense heartache; he simply couldn't understand why such a wonderful girl had a mother who was a demon.
Kujavina then stepped out from the side and smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the returning group of children.
"Good children, go back to your seats. The food in the kitchen will be ready soon."
"Everyone must be exhausted from the exams, let's get ready to eat."
The children, seeing their angelic and gentle mother, obediently returned to their seats.
Little did they know that a few months later, they would find out. This so-called angelic mother...
Beneath the skin lies a demon as venomous as a snake.
After dinner, Peruvieri and Akikawa helped Claire back to her room and helped her sit on the bed.
Qiuhe started pulling off Claire's shoes and socks. Claire was initially confused, then surprised, and then blushed deeply. She quickly stopped Qiuhe.
"Lelele...Leyi, what are you doing?"
"Don't move... I just went back to Fontaine to buy some medicine. I pulled you to the side of the pit, and I didn't stop you when you fell in. It was my mistake, and I will take responsibility."
It was just a few simple words, but Clementine caught the phrase "I'll take responsibility," and something seemed to click in her mind. Her face grew redder and redder.
With a soft "poof," a mushroom cloud rose above his head. As Qiuhe removed Claire's socks, he saw that everything below her ankles had changed color.
A moment of hesitation struck him, and Qiuhe fell silent as he watched this scene. He picked up the medicine and began applying it to Claire's feet.
When she felt the boy's hands rubbing and kneading her feet, she was instantly jolted back to reality.
At this moment, Qiuhe also felt that Clementine's legs were shaking. When he looked up, he saw that Clementine's face was as red as a ripe apple.
I wanted to touch Clementine's hand to see if she had a fever, but then I remembered my hands were covered in medicine.
He slowly pressed his forehead against Claire's forehead.
"...You're so hot, do you have a fever?"
At this moment, Claire had reached her limit; her body stiffened, and she fell backward.
