Chapter 63: Hide and Seek
I've found you, Guilan! (Kid C shouts)
Tree... (The child runs to the tree)
Look at me!! (Guilan rushes over and hugs the tree)
Wait a minute! (The child is knocked off by Guilan)
Xiao Xiao! Cheer up, Xiao Xiao! Stinky girl! Didn't we say that you are not allowed to hit people within one meter of a big tree? (Child A scolds)
I don't care about those bad rules. (Guilan said)
I'm not playing anymore! No light or heavy guys! It's just a game of hide and seek, is it so ruthless? (Kid B says)
Never play with you again! A sucker! (Kid C shouts)
Hum... A bunch of useless imps! The game just has to be played seriously to be fun.
Hehehehehe! That's right, that's it. Because of seriousness, you can exert greater strength. As long as you work hard, even ordinary things can become fun. Things in the world are the same as in games. (An old man preaching)
Little sister, do you want to play hide and seek with me?
Fei Hong said he wouldn't let me play with a strange uncle.
That strange old man can always do it, right?
No, men are beasts.
Seeing that you are young, your vigilance is quite high. I appreciate you more and more. Why don't you call your guardian to play with you?
Don't think of me as a child, a dead old man.
Ah, isn't that Guilan? (Liang Kuan said)
Not! It's really... Feed! (Fei Hong said)
(A residence)
Please mourn, what a surprise. He was so energetic before... Suddenly collapsed the night before. We don't need to say any more, the most surprising should be himself. (Devilfoot Seven says to the neighbor of the house)
Alas... We humans really can't predict tomorrow. But, Ah Seven, don't be too sad either. If you have something, you can come to us neighbors to discuss. (Neighbor says)
Well, thank you for your kindness.
What a hassle... Why do I have to do these things against my will for the sake of that dead old man? (Ghostfoot Seven thinks)
(Open Space)
Yes... Hide-and-seek? (Fei Hong said)
Hey, the old man said he wanted us to play together. (Guilan said)
Didn't I tell you not to play with strange uncles? Are you stupid? Beware of being taken captive!
I'm either an uncle or a dead old man. That's the end line, right?
Shut up! Men are beasts!
Gone, I'd rather be with an old woman I know than a strange uncle. She seems to be going to treat us to Cantonese food... It's very rare. (Guilan looked at Yun'er's mother-in-law and said)
In the days to come, the old woman is much better than the old man. This old woman is short for "the old woman who can be relied on in times of trouble"... (Fei Hong said)
Stinky boy, who is the old woman! (Yuna's mother-in-law scolds)
Feed! Then I'll catch someone, let's play. Come play hide and seek with me!
Dead old man, are you annoyed! (Angel runs over)
Feed! Ignore him! (Fei Hong said)
Want to play hide and seek, right? I'll hide it for you! If you can hold the tree on the other side in less than 20 seconds, we'll play with you.
You're ruthless! (Liang Kuan said in surprise)
Angel, how can you bully an old grandfather? (Guilan said)
Shut up! All I'm thinking about right now is consuming protein. (Angel scolds)
Alright, let's go before the old woman changes her mind! (Guilan said)
Angel, you'd better go back and see the store. People who do not respect the elderly do not want to be cared for by the elderly. (Yuna's mother-in-law said)
How can you say that, Lady Yuna... You're not old at all, you're still alive. (Angel said)
Click! (The old man suddenly hugged the uncle)
Feed! I hugged the tree in less than 20 seconds! Start playing hide and seek! (Grandpa said)
(Devil's Foot Seven Residence)
It's a shame to lose such an outstanding person. Even the strongest man in the court can't fight for his age. (An uncle said)
What do you say, he's just an idle guy. I have suffered a lot, and I am always scolded by my relatives... (Devil's Foot Seven says)
No, how can a person who can only play be an instructor at the Jinyiwei School? The Jinyi guards and dart guards who are active in Foshan today are almost all trained by your father. You always say he's idle, but I admire his personality...
Master!! (Shum Huihui kicks the door open)
Hey? I heard that the master is a critical moment tonight, so I came here. (Shum Huihui said)
This.... (Cen Huihui stepped on the uncle)
My dad has returned to the West. The night before yesterday was the moment of truth. (Devil's Foot Seven says)
How so! Master! I hate it! (Shum Huihui said)
Feed! That guy under your feet is almost finished, and tonight is a crucial moment for him. (Ghost Foot Seven looks at the uncle who was trampled under Cen Huihui's feet)
(Open Space)
Hehe, this tense atmosphere is awesome. It's like going back to childhood.
Good boys, are you all ready? My old man is going! (Grandpa said)
Where to go? Paradise? Why do I have to play games with an old man I don't know? We're here to eat Cantonese food. (Fei Hong asks)
My stomach is screaming with hunger! I'm sorry for him, but let's just let him find it as soon as possible and end the game, shall we? (Liang Kuan said)
No kidding! If you admit defeat without working hard, are you also worthy of being an officer and soldier! Guys like you only deserve to be a mourning dog!
My lord! Send this bereaved dog to the execution ground! (Guilan scolds)
Don't yell, stinky girl. (Fei Hong patted Guilan on the head)
No matter what, if you do it, you can't lose. (Fei Hong said)
It will be better to win first and then go to eat Cantonese food, my lord. (Guilan said)
That's right, stinky girl.
Hide and seek is a child's game after all, and you win if you hold on to a tree before you find it. To put it simply, as long as you can hold the tree without being detected.
So... Ready for launch. (Fei Hong picks up the stone)
Understood, sir. (Guilan said)
Can this be a hide-and-seek, my lord? (Liang Kuan asks)
Hide-and-seek, of course. If you think about it, sometimes if you take a stone and throw it at a tree, you can win because the stone has our handprints. (Fei Hong said)
It doesn't count! This is not normal logic! (Liang Kuan said)
You are so naïve! The so-called hide and seek is to hold the hateful tree by any means, so as to make the guy who comes to catch people cry. It's a demonic game!
So once you become a catcher, it's over! The tree will be held non-stop!
In the 100 seconds I spent waiting for everyone to hide, I pretended to count many times, but I was actually crying!
Such a sweet and bitter game... It's hide-and-seek! (Guilan said)
Boom!! (Stoned to the old man)
Burst!! (The old man falls)
Feed... Can this also be called hide and seek? It's murder! It's killing people! (Liang Kuan said)
Strategist! Who told you to hit that old man?
Strategist! With all due respect, you're going to be sent to the execution ground like this! (Fei Hong said)
Wait a minute! He's up! I actually got up! (Liang Kuan said)
Hum! (Guilan holding a pile of stones)
Dead old man! Go to hell! (Guilan shouts)
As I said, it's not hide and seek at all!
Ahh!!h (Guilan quickly throws away the stone)
He even used a wooden stick to protect the tree! (Liang Kuan said)
What the? He has such skills! (Fei Hong said)
Got it! There you are! (The old man throws out the throwing knife)
Bang!!! (Explosion)
That... Who is that old man? (Fei Hong said)
(Funeral)
Well? Hide-and-seek? (Shum Huihui asked)
Ah... Don't you remember? Didn't the master play a lot in class... Hide-and-seek requires instant judgment, and that's exactly what stealth work requires.
So we think of it as a kind of skill practice, and we play it all the time, don't we? (Maggie Chang says)
Yes... It's that, it is. It's so funny to think about! Wowhaha! (Shum Huihui said)
If you don't remember, just say it, okay? And why are you dressed up for the funeral? (Maggie Zhang looks at Cen Huihui's black jacket)
I thought tonight was a critical moment, so that's why...
Is there any relationship between the two?
It's like going for a ride... That's what you have to wear for a ride.
In short, I can't forget the smile on my master's face when he played hide and seek. He played more than anyone else.
yes, he's an old urchin... So the kids must have liked him.
Cut! These guys are going to talk nonsense! (Ghostfoot Seven thinks)
(Open Space)
Drink, drink, drink! (The old man ran up)
Woohoo! (Liang Kuan rushes forward)
Don't bother, do you think you can outrun me? Found you, little white face! (The old man shouts)
Hum! You've got it! (Liang Kuan said in his heart)
It's so stupid to run so far after a person in a game of hide and seek! (Liang Kuan said)
Boom!!
Not good...
Wha! The tree is left unguarded! (Fei Hong laughs)
(The old man lifts a wooden barrel and lowers it)
I'm going to... Belch? (Fei Hong's eyes suddenly go dark)
Ahh Oh my head! The braids are all gone!
Wowha! A sucker! Split ends! I found you!
Liang Kuan!! (Fei Hong shouts)
Got it!! (Liang Kuan said)
Boom!! (Liang Kuan kicks Feihong over)
Tree... (Grandpa said)
I won't let you get away with it! (Fei Hong said)
Well? (The old man watches the barrel roll farther and farther away)
The little white face and the split man have been found by me. (The old man hugs the tree)
(Funeral)
Not... My dad... My favorite thing to play is hide and seek. When I was a kid, he used to play with me. In my heart, my dad is a good man.
I asked him if it would affect my work, and he told me not to worry. Even when I was growing up, he would often come to me to play hide and seek. This makes me wonder, it can't be that he wants to play, right?
Frankly speaking, my dad is still like a child when he is old. He was always happy, and I was very unhappy with him when I was an adolescent, but at the same time I envied him.
(Open Space)
Found you, Guilan. (Grandpa said)
(Funeral)
In fact, it is very simple for people to grow up, but it is difficult to maintain a childlike heart to enjoy all things.
For that matter, he is indeed a respectable dad.
However, there is one thing that I find very regrettable... That guy actually sold all my books to a second-hand bookstore and bought a lot of fruit! I'm still annoyed by this!
I'm sorry! I fell out of love, and I cried because I was so upset... Having said all that, all in all, he is a useless dad. He's such a person, maybe one day he'll turn into a ghost and come to you.
When the time comes, I would like you to please... Play hide and seek with him. (Devil's Foot Seven says)
(Open Space)
I won!! (Guilan and the old man hugged the big tree at the same time)
