The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1153 - 976, Injured, Captured

Daozi’s fourth birthday wasn’t a grand celebration, with only a few officials invited for a small gathering; those who had children brought them along.

Seeing new friends, Daozi was delighted and graciously took everyone to his amusement park to play.

The children were envious of the novelty of the amusement park.

Daozi, basking in everyone’s envy, was very proud and spent the whole day having a blast with his little friends.

Even after dinner, when the children had gone home, Daozi was still longing for more.

In the yard, Daohua bathed her son while smilingly watching him excitedly recount how impressive he was today.

"Mom, they don’t have amusement parks, only I do."

"Mom, they said they will come to play with me again and bring their toys for me to play with."

"Mom, none of them can run as fast as me, nor climb as high as me."

Daohua listened with a smile, occasionally nodding or expressing surprise, which made Daozi grin from ear to ear.

After cleaning the little one, Daohua wrapped him in a towel and carried him to the bed.

Just after putting on his small vest and shorts, Daozi rolled over in bed, then hopped around, clearly having had a great day.

As Daohua was about to go wash up, Daozi suddenly hugged her neck: "Mom, where is dad? It’s my birthday today, and he didn’t even say he’d spend it with me. He promised to take me horse riding when I turned four."

Daohua hugged her son with a smile: "Your dad is busy with important things. Once he’s done, he will spend time with you."

Daozi pouted: "Alright, when dad’s not busy, he should make it up to me."

Daohua laughed: "You should discuss that with your dad yourself."

Daozi puffed up his chest confidently: "Dad loves me so much, he will definitely agree. If he doesn’t, I’ll go to my great-grandfather and grandmother and have them stand up for me."

Unable to resist, Daohua patted her son’s bottom: "You little rascal, you’re getting better at complaining."

Daozi dodged with a laugh and started rolling around on the bed again.

Daohua stood up to wash up, and by the time she was done, Daozi was already squinting, about to fall asleep.

After covering her son with a light blanket, Daohua went to wait in the outer room.

"How has Xiao Yeyang not come back yet?"

Speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives—Daohua heard footsteps in the yard and met him with a smile: "Why so late today?"

Xiao Yeyang removed his coat: "The supply department was sending salt and medicine to Jianzhou Guard, but we were ambushed by bandits along the way, leading to a fight."

"The bandits are the notorious Wuhu Village from Xiliang. Their men are numerous and skilled in martial arts. Luckily, Su Hongxin sent a timely message, and I led our forces there, managing not to lose the salt and medicine, capturing the third and fourth heads of Wuhu Village."

Daohua frowned: "Are the bandits here so bold as to rob military supplies?"

Xiao Yeyang scoffed: "A bunch of bandits, they wouldn’t dare confront the army directly if they had a hundred guts. They must have robbed the wrong people this time."

"But, it gave me a good opportunity. Xiliang has many bandits, and Wuhu Village is one of the strongest. I’ve been wanting to deal with them."

Daohua was worried: "Those are desperate characters; please be very careful."

Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile and, after wiping his face, quietly walked into the bedroom and saw his son sleeping soundly, asking with a smile, "I didn’t accompany my son on his birthday, did he fuss?"

Daohua smiled back: "He did, he said you owe him a birthday."

Xiao Yeyang chuckled: "Once I’m done with my duties, I’ll make it up to him."

...

The next morning, Daozi woke up and saw that Xiao Yeyang was not there again, looking a bit disappointed. He wanted his dad to take him horse riding, but sadly, his dad was nowhere to be seen.

The little guy frowned with a "bun face" and shook his head like a little old man: "My dad is so unreliable! He doesn’t even care about his own son, hmph."

Daohua couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "Last night your dad promised that he would make it up to you on your birthday. Get up quickly, wash up, have breakfast, and then go find Grandpa Chu for martial arts training."

Upon hearing this, Daozi immediately covered his face with his chubby hands and flopped back onto the bed, moaning, "Dad is unreliable, and mom is strict, oh the agonies I endure~"

"Smack!"

Daohua gave her mischievous son a tap on the bottom: "Feeling itch in the early morning?"

Rubbing his bottom, Daozi looked resentfully at Daohua: "Mom, by doing this, you’re going to lose your son’s heart." After saying that, he scurried off to wash up.

Daohua shook her head with a smile.

After breakfast, Daozi went to find Chu Lang.

Although Daozi had started martial arts training, because of his young age, he did not train for long each day, usually just in the morning. By the afternoon, he was free to play on his own.

During lunch, Gu Jian noticed that Daozi seemed a bit listless and couldn’t help asking, "Are you tired from martial arts training?"

Daohua glanced at her son: "Your dad has already said he would accompany you once he’s free. No being capricious."

Daozi pouted: "But I want to ride horses. You won’t let me ride dogs, can’t I ride horses?"

Daohua: "I didn’t say you couldn’t, just asking you to wait a bit."

Gu Jian spoke up: "Hey, I thought it was something big. It’s just horse riding. Your dad is busy, but your great-grandpa has time. This afternoon he’ll take you to ride horses."

Upon hearing this, Daozi immediately became cheerful, and dashed up to Gu Jian, hugging him: "Great-grandpa is the best, I love great-grandpa the most."

Hearing this, Gu Jian’s eyes crinkled with a smile: "Great-grandpa loves Daozi the most too."

Watching the affectionate exchange between the old and the young, Daohua found herself both crying and laughing.

...

Regarding Gu Jian taking Daozi to ride horses, Daohua did not stop them; even though Gu Jian was getting older, he was still physically robust, and with Dongli accompanying them, there wouldn’t be any problem taking his son to ride horses.

However, accidents can happen anywhere.

Daohua thought that Gu Jian and the others would at most take Daozi around the residence for a horseback ride, but unexpectedly, they left the residence, and not only that, they also left the city.

Yesterday Xiao Yeyang had captured the third and fourth leaders of Wuhu Village, and today the second leader of Wuhu Village brought his men, disguised, sneaking into Liangdu.

Somehow, they identified Gu Jian and Daozi.

Thus, a group of men followed them out of the city.

Once out of the city, the people from Wuhu Village attacked Gu Jian and Daozi.

This outing was a spontaneous decision. Gu Jian had only brought Dongli with him, and upon seeing the fierce-looking men surrounding them, both of their faces hardened.

Dongli stood in front of Gu Jian while Gu Jian tightly hugged Daozi: "We are from the Prince Residence of Weiyuan, may I know the purpose of this, gentlemen?"

The second leader sneered: "We’re here to capture people from the Prince Residence of Weiyuan." Without further ado, he gestured for his men to attack.

The men from Wuhu Village were many, Dongli was held up fighting, and Gu Jian could only desperately run back with Daozi. In the end, the second leader shot Gu Jian off the horse with an arrow and kidnapped Daozi.
