These two subtitles were in a new font.
Unlike the elaborate font of the True Man Qingyun and the simple one of Lin Yu, the new font consisted of pictographs. Each character looked like a cute little picture.
Since she was being held in Su Qian's arms, Shen Baozhu had to tilt her head and read the two subtitles with difficulty.
Shen Baozhu's tone was full of uncertainty. "You're so smart and amazing. You're the smartest and most amazing person Baozhu has ever met?"
She had just learned this way of complimenting from Ming Shu and the groom.
[That's right. Compliment me like this!]
With the affirmation from the subtitles, Shen Baozhu became more confident. "You're so cute. You're the cutest girl in the whole capital!"
This was what Shen Heqing had said to Shen Baozhu before, and now she used it as well.
[I'm a man, not some cute little girl. Forget it. I'll help you.]
[Tell that fool to stop running around. Be careful not to get hurt.]
After reading this subtitle, Shen Baozhu quickly shouted at Su Qian, "Brother Su Qian, stop for a moment."
Trusting Shen Baozhu, Su Qian stopped in his tracks.
As soon as he stopped, the distance between them and the black - clothed men shortened significantly.
"Their target is me. Baozhu, run quickly."
Su Qian looked like a hero ready to sacrifice himself. He put Shen Baozhu on the ground and turned around to face the black - clothed men.
The next second, countless small gold ingots fell from the sky. Several black - clothed men were hit on the head and knocked unconscious.
Shen Baozhu looked at the small gold ingots on the ground and curiously picked one up. "Is it raining gold from the sky?"
"Oh no, I'm having hallucinations. I actually saw gold falling from the sky... Am I going crazy?" Su Qian stared blankly, greatly stimulated.
His eyes rolled up, and he fainted directly.
At the same time, the subtitles were refreshed.
[I'll give you a Thunder Summoning Talisman. Carry it with you for self - defense.]
The True Man Qingyun had many high - level talismans, but he couldn't find a suitable low - level one for Baozhu for a while, so he had to draw one on the spot.
He decided to go to the library later to find more low - level talismans for Baozhu in case something like this happened again.
Taking the talisman, Shen Baozhu carefully folded it and held it tightly in her palm. "Thank you, True Man!"
"What is a Thunder Summoning Talisman?"
[It's a talisman that can summon lightning to strike bad guys.]
After learning about the magical ability of the Thunder Summoning Talisman, Shen Baozhu held it even tighter, afraid that the talisman might strike her by accident.
Holding the Thunder Summoning Talisman, Shen Baozhu squatted beside Su Qian. She reached out and poked him. "Brother Su Qian, wake up."
Su Qian lay on the ground without any response.
Looking at the unconscious Su Qian, Shen Baozhu was worried. Fortunately, Ming Shu and the groom followed the sound and rushed over.
Seeing that Shen Baozhu was safe, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Ming Shu stepped over the black - clothed men and squatted down. He asked nervously, "Are you hurt?"
After asking carefully and confirming that Shen Baozhu was unharmed, Ming Shu and the groom both relaxed.
Ming Shu covered Shen Baozhu's eyes and coaxed softly, "My little princess, close your eyes. Your servant will take you back to find the young master."
The two of them had a clear division of labor. Ming Shu carried Shen Baozhu back, while the groom was responsible for carrying Su Qian.
...
When they returned to the entrance of the Su Family Workshop, Su Qian was still unconscious.
Shen Baozhu was a little worried. "Is Brother Su Qian okay?"
Seeing Shen Baozhu's concern, the groom pinched Su Qian to wake him up. "Don't worry, little princess. This guy is fine. He'll wake up soon."
Su Qian was woken up by the pinch. He subconsciously tried to run outside. "Run, get out of here!"
The groom grabbed him. It wasn't until he met Shen Baozhu's gaze that Su Qian calmed down a bit.
Ming Shu and the groom exchanged a look. They both guessed that Su Qian had had a tough time in the past few days, but no matter how they asked, Su Qian remained silent.
It wasn't until the sound of horse hooves came that Shen Heqing returned.
As soon as Shen Heqing dismounted from his horse, a big and a small figure ran towards him.
Seeing his close friend, Su Qian couldn't control his emotions due to the fear and terror he had endured for many days. He hugged Shen Heqing and cried.
Shen Baozhu was a step slower and could only hug Shen Heqing's leg.
Hearing Su Qian's crying, Shen Baozhu was a bit curious. "Big brother, can Baozhu cry like Brother Su Qian?"
Shen Heqing, who was already having a headache, quickly stopped her. "No! Don't imitate him!"
"Baozhu, be a good girl. Don't imitate everything you see."
Shen Baozhu nodded obediently, but she still seemed a bit regretful. "Really can't imitate? Baozhu has never cried in big brother's arms."
Seeing his sister so eager to learn, Shen Heqing couldn't help but suggest, "Baozhu is so eager to learn? How about practicing a few more sheets of calligraphy..."
"No need. Baozhu is not eager to learn. No need to practice calligraphy." Shen Baozhu quickly let go of Shen Heqing and ran to Ming Shu's side.
Su Qian cried for a while before he managed to control his emotions.
Wiping his tears, his first words were, "Heqing, gold fell from the sky. Let's go pick it up quickly."
Shen Heqing felt absurd. He pulled Su Qian away. "Are you out of your mind? How could gold fall from the sky?"
"I went to the academy to ask. Since you took a mourning leave a month ago, you haven't been to the academy again. What happened this month? Why is there no one in the workshop?"
Su Qian thought Shen Heqing made sense. Maybe he was out of his mind. He sighed and explained to Shen Heqing.
A month ago, Su Qian's mother passed away, so he took a mourning leave to handle his mother's funeral.
Because there were so many things to do, the Su Family Workshop was temporarily closed. It took Su Qian more than half a month to finish all the things.
Seven days ago, Su Qian was still at home sorting out his mother's relics when suddenly some black - clothed men broke in and tried to kill him with knives.
Su Qian was lucky enough to escape.
But this was just the beginning. After that, there were always people trying to kill him. No matter how he ran, he couldn't escape.
Shen Heqing was surprised. "Didn't you report it to the government?"
Speaking of this, Su Qian wanted to cry. "I did. The government sent people to guard me for three days, and the black - clothed men didn't come."
As soon as the yamen servants left, Su Qian was attacked by the black - clothed men again.
Being forced into a corner, Su Qian had no choice but to return to the Su Family Workshop. He hid in a water tank in the workshop.
He thought he could hide for a few days, but this morning, several strong men climbed into the workshop and started smashing things.
Seeing that they were about to smash the water tank, Su Qian quietly ran out while the men were turning around. But he only ran a few steps before he was discovered.
When he got to this sad part, Su Qian wanted to cry again. "I've had a hard time these days... By the way, Brother Heqing, why did you bring Sister Baozhu here today?"
Shen Heqing explained, "Baozhu wanted to play with clay figurines, so I brought her here. But seeing the current situation, it seems we can't play today."
Shen Baozhu, who was sitting beside them, was stunned. Only then did she realize that she couldn't play with clay figurines again today.
Normally a well - behaved girl, Shen Baozhu started to throw a tantrum. She angrily grabbed Shen Heqing. "Big brother is a liar. You promised to let Baozhu play with clay figurines!"
Shen Baozhu's idea was very simple. She liked playing with clay figurines, and the True Man also liked clay figurines. She could make a few more clay figurines and give them to the True Man.
She had been looking forward to playing with clay figurines since the day Shen Heqing took a leave. Finally, when Shen Heqing recovered from his illness, they went to the Shen Family yesterday.
And today, even though they were already at the workshop entrance and had seen Su Qian, she still couldn't play with clay figurines.
Shen Baozhu's eyes were red, and she looked at Shen Heqing aggrievedly.
"Baozhu, don't be sad. Big brother was wrong just now. You will definitely be able to play with clay figurines today." Shen Heqing quickly coaxed her.
Su Qian reminded them from the side, "But the workshop has been smashed. It will take time to clean it up..."
"Come back to the princess's mansion with me and play with clay figurines with Baozhu. We'll buy all new tools."
Having made a lot of money last night, Shen Heqing waved his hand generously.
Shen Baozhu could play with clay figurines, and Su Qian's safety was also guaranteed. It was a win - win idea.
There was only one person who was unhappy.
Far away in the demon realm, a man with dragon horns on his head was desperately poking the system, but all he got was a cold reminder.
