"I have my grandfather to protect me." Cheng Che was unmoved. He patted his pigtails and slumped in the chair, looking very confident. "Steal some tea leaves, stir-fry them with sugar, and then add some milk, hey."
At this point, Cheng Che poked Jing Yuan, "Or maybe steal some more matcha powder that my mom uses for baking?"
Before Jing Yuan could speak, the man driving the car in the front seat sneered, "Yeah, with your grandfather protecting you, you can escape your father's beating. Let's see how you can escape my beating tonight."
Tang Muching paused and glanced at the rearview mirror. "By the way, don't think I won't beat up the kids I picked up."
Chapter 722 Forget it, it’s useless.

"After all this talk, are you going to save him or not?!"
Portio's plan to attack Pinocchio was postponed again and again, and even with the company of fine wine, he could no longer hold back.
He stood up, looking across the table at the man slumped in his chair, unable to bear it any longer, "You little darling, are we going to Pinocchio or not?"
Opposite Portio, a young man was holding a bowl and slowly stirring the soup in the bowl with a spoon, as if there was some ingredient in it that he didn't want to eat but had to eat.
Hearing this, Cheng Che looked up at Potio, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Of course I will save him, but I want to rest for a while. I am getting more and more tired."
Hearing this, Potiou frowned, "You've been resting for a long time, he treasures his legs!"
"You scolded me." Cheng Che looked at Potio, "Then I won't save you."
Having said this, Cheng Che paused.
He thought for a while with his tired brain, and then asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you here to find Huang Quan? Isn't Huang Quan right here? Then why are you in such a hurry?"
Portio: ...
Potio couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head, and said blankly: "Isn't this... the Star Train is dangerous?"
Cheng Che nodded, "Oh, but it doesn't seem to be that dangerous."
What other dangers could there be?
Now, the fleets of Xianzhou Luofu and the company have gathered outside Pinoconi. Maybe the family is discussing how to find Cheng Che.
Besides...
After thinking about it carefully, the one who caused the trouble should be Sunday who raised his hand gracefully. Sunday also ate my food and took my little gift, so he should not kill me.
With this calculation, there was only a little bit of finishing work left on this pioneering journey, and he could just stay on the train and wait for his friends to find him.
Cheng Che felt relieved, and glanced at the people around him before he said softly, "Don't worry too much. Although external help is important, I also believe in my friends."
Hearing this, Dan Heng nodded, "Add one."
Cheng Che turned his head instantly, "Have you learned it?"
"I've learned it a long time ago." Dan Heng was unmoved. He said calmly and picked up the spoon to add soup to Yan Qing and Kakavasya next to him.
As for Jing Yuan?
Jingyuan was still sleeping in the back carriage.
Cheng Che looked at Dan Heng's actions, and after thinking for a moment, he took out a digestive lozenge from his bag and handed it to the two of them. "You ate a lot. Are you full?"
Hearing this, Yan Qing raised his head, revealing his face covered with rice grains.
He rubbed his cheek and shook his head, "No, I just think that Master Taibu might be very sad that the general and I came to the train without bringing her."
Speaking of this, Yan Qing remembered something.
He moved closer to Cheng Che and explained in a low voice, "The Immortal Boat was originally going to be anchored near Pinoconi, but the Grand Diviner performed a divination and finally left the entire Immortal Boat outside the Asdena Star System. The general led the Cloud Riders in first, so the Grand Diviner should...should not have fallen into this weird dream."
At this point, Yan Qing paused, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and clench it into a fist, "Yan Qing always feels uncomfortable, just like the feeling when he was controlled by Sui Yang, so... when can we get out of the dream?"
Cheng Che looked at Yan Qing carefully, raised his hand and pulled the decoration on Yan Qing's hair, "Very soon."
Yan Qing nodded, lowered his head and used a spoon to gather the last bit of rice. Before putting it into his mouth, he stopped and looked at Cheng Che.
Cheng Che looked into Yan Qing's eyes with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Yan Qing blinked his eyes, thought for a moment and then spoke, "Master Taibu said that if you are tired, you should rest. Anyway, nothing serious will happen to them. But this time, Xianzhou came to Pinoconi at your invitation, and we can't lose money."
Cheng Che: ...
So what role did Jingyuan play in this?
Aren’t these the words Jingyuan should have said?
Seeing Cheng Che's expression, Yan Qing lowered his voice, "Master Taibu also said that the general must have died of plucking feathers when he saw you, so he asked me to tell you."
Cheng Che: ...
Okay, that makes sense.
"It's not a loss." Cheng Che responded, and poked the child sitting next to Yan Qing, "Don't eat anymore."
Kakavasia raised his head, holding the bowl with a timid look, "Eat, have you eaten too much?"
"You will feel uncomfortable. Let Yanqing take you to rest for a while. You can eat something else when you wake up." Cheng Che handed the pills over. "Take it. It won't be bitter."
Kakavasa tilted his head to look at Cheng Che, thought for a moment, put down the bowl while biting the medicine, and stared at the food in front of him eagerly.
Cheng Che sighed heavily again, leaning back in his chair and staring at the light on the ceiling, his mind full of mixed thoughts.
It seems that there is no way to completely eliminate suffering. No matter where you are, even on a fairy boat, there will always be things that are not satisfactory.
After a moment's silence, Cheng Che raised his hand and touched Kakavasya's head, feeling the dry and frizzy hair in his palm, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
At this time, Kakavasya was terrified. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to, for fear that he would be disliked by others and be thrown away. At that time, he might even be captured and sold as a slave.
He stared at Cheng Che with wide eyes, his voice trembling, "Brother, I... I am losing my hair. Am I sick? Will I die--"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Qing quickly picked up a small apple and stuffed it into Kakavasya's mouth to stop the unlucky words.
Yan Qing thought about it and took Cheng Che's hand away. Then he looked at Kakavasia seriously and said, "It's okay. You'll get used to it. It's good to lose your hair. The new hair will look good."
Yan Qing lowered his head and said, "Look, my hair has grown back, it's brighter than the fur of the cat slave the general keeps!"
Kakavasia sniffed and looked at Yanqing with pitiful eyes, "Really?"
"Really? I'm not lying to you." Yan Qing nodded affirmatively and glanced at Cheng Che secretly.
Never mind, it's useless.
Cheng Che would not feel guilty at all for making a child cry.
Cheng Che stroked his chin and thought, and after a while he turned to look at Dan Heng.
Dan Heng had just put down his chopsticks and picked up his water cup. He turned his head when he noticed the movement and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Have you thought of any clues?"
If you have any clues, you should speak them out immediately. Let's integrate the information, then eat and drink your fill and attack Pinocchio.
On the side, Potio and Huang Quan could not help but sit up straight, looking at Cheng Che with expectant eyes. Only Black Swan sighed softly, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and seemed a little disappointed.
Cheng Che had a calm expression, but his tone was very serious, "Look how good my vision is. When I picked up the child, I said Yanqing would be a good brother!"
Dan Heng:......
Dan Heng took a deep breath and asked, "Is that what you want to say?"
"What else?" Cheng Che was surprised and asked back with confidence.
Chapter 723 Alas, I am still tired.
After eating and drinking, the support group's action was postponed again.
Cheng Che put the dried clothes in order, put them into sealed bags, attached photos to them, and placed them layer by layer in the closet, waiting to take them out and iron them before wearing them next time.
The room next to Jingyuan's guest room was cleaned up to accommodate the two children. The tattered clothes that Kakavasa had taken off were mended and washed, and neatly folded and placed in the closet.
Cheng Che looked at Kakavasa, who was sitting on the bed with his feet up and swaying, and then looked at Yan Qing, "Are you two okay? If you have any questions, please contact me in time."
Hearing this, Yan Qing nodded.
He sat on the chair, glanced at the new brother he had picked up, and then looked at Cheng Che, "Okay, although the general is asleep, he will still wake up if something happens."
He just looks unreliable, but in fact, no one is more reliable than Jing Yuan.
Cheng Che nodded, stuffed the pajamas and shoes he picked up from the trash can into the closet, and then looked at Kakavasia, "I have to go out for a while, let Yanqing sleep with you for a while, okay?"
Having said this, Cheng Che paused.
He squatted beside the bed and whispered, "The brother who fought with you is waiting for me to pick him up. You can see him when you wake up."
Hearing this, Kakavasia nodded, and reached out to grab Cheng Che's arm, "Well... I just saw the conductor cleaning, I can help, can I..."
In Cheng Che's puzzled and bewildered eyes, Kakavasia did not hesitate to use a heart-piercing skill, "Can you please not fatten me up and sell me off?"
Cheng Che: ...
Cheng Che was a little speechless, "Am I a human trafficker? Why would I sell you?"
"No?" Kakavasya tilted his head.
"No." Cheng Che glanced at Kakavasa's head where his hair was falling out, and withdrew his hand with regret, then whispered: "No, that handsome brother earns enough to support 10,000 of you, so just eat without worry. Besides, if your brother Yanqing buys one less sword, he can support you for a month, so don't worry, have a good rest."
Kakavasia nodded blankly, and before he could say anything, he was stuffed into the soft quilt.
The silk fabric is so smooth that one is worried that the barbs and thin calluses on the palms will leave a gap, but lying in it makes one want to close their eyes unconsciously.
Cheng Che tilted his head towards Yan Qing and walked out of the bedroom.
Yanqing jumped off the stool, rolled into the bedding and patted the child, imitating the way the general coaxed his little self and patted his new friend.
Outside the door, Cheng Che looked at Potio's sad eyes, thought about it, and then walked into his bedroom.
Turn on the lights, light the aromatherapy, shake the quilt, take off the slippers, and then roll smoothly.
Portio: ...
Botio looked at the young man who was already lying on the bed and skillfully wrapped himself in a blanket. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but speak, "We...isn't he going to leave, dear?"
"Go ahead." Cheng Che looked calm as he took out his phone to check the messages on it. He then plugged in the charger and threw it on the desk next to him. He then said softly, "But I'm so tired. I want to lie down on the bed for a while. Even if I can't sleep, I want to rest my head."
At this point, Cheng Che looked at Potio standing at the door and said, "Please understand. I haven't had a rest for a long time. Even when I'm having fun, I'm still thinking about all kinds of little clues in my mind. I can't hold on any longer."
Portio: ...
That makes sense, but it feels like the relationship between these unknown passengers on the Star Train isn't very good.
