Bab 173: Chapter 173: Pounding Rice

The two children following behind suddenly heard a flapping sound and all shrank back in fear, "What... what happened?"

"It's nothing, a few birds were hiding in our room and flew away when they saw us coming." Bai Junjun replied calmly.

The children let out a sigh of relief and did their best to calm their almost leaping hearts.

When they returned to the room, it was still without light.

Bai Junjun, with her excellent night vision, clearly saw the children's anxiousness in the dark.

This darkness was partly due to the pitch-black room and partly because the fleeing birds had startled them.

She comforted them, "Don't worry, our room is very safe, no poisonous snakes or fierce beasts can get in. And even if they did, with me here, they'd just end up being eaten by us."

Bai Junjun's words acted like a strong tonic, greatly calming the two nervous children.

They obediently felt their way back to bed, trying hard to fall asleep quickly.
