They continued observing the situation in Linhe Village through the binoculars and focused on the children.
The child suspected to be Xiaochong led his companions, running and skipping to the village entrance. He was very happy setting off fireworks along the way.
He suddenly muttered and turned to walk into the darkness of the village’s wilderness.
Jiang Baimian determined that Xiaochong was likely heading elsewhere to ‘pee.’ Of course, she couldn’t lip-read, so she couldn’t be sure.
Back when her hearing was poor, she habitually used lips, body language, and environmental factors to determine the exact meaning when faced with a situation where she couldn’t hear the other person clearly and was embarrassed to ask.
Xiaochong quickly found a spot, unzipped his pants, and peed.
This confirmed Jiang Baimian’s judgment.
Xiaochong’s companions followed—be it boy or girl—they lined up with him. They stood, squatted, unzipped, or pulled down their pants to pee.
“Isn’t this too orderly?” Long Yuehong muttered to himself in confusion.
Shang Jianyao laughed. “It’s very normal to use the bathroom together at this time. Only by being together can one have courage.”
Normal my ass! Jiang Baimian criticized inwardly.
Even if those children really wanted to head to the bathroom together to boost each other’s courage, it was impossible for all of them to go together. There would always be a few who didn’t want to pee. Furthermore, there were a few little girls among them.
Bai Chen said, “It’s quite normal if there are only three or four people, but there are about a dozen of them.”
During the Old Task Force’s discussion, Xiaochong finished peeing and started zipping it. He then shouted at his companions.
As it was relatively loud this time and they had already walked out of the village entrance, they weren’t too far from the old pagoda tree. Therefore, Jiang Baimian and the others heard him clearly: Why do you keep mimicking me? None of you wanted to do so previously, but the moment I said I wanted to
pee, all of you became urgent.”
The other children replied in a cacophony, “It suddenly came to mind.”
“It’s all your fault for mentioning the word ‘pee!
Jiang Baimian gradually frowned as she listened.
After the group of children finished arguing, she pondered for a moment and said, “Does it ring a bell?”
Before Long Yuehong could think, Shang Jianyao whistled.
That’s right! Long Yuchong instantly understood what his team leader wanted to ask.
At this moment, Bai Chen replied, “It reminds me of Xiaochong’s whistling in First City. It made people who hear it want to pee.”
Jiang Baimian slowly nodded. “Could the current situation be the same? The word ‘pee’ that Xiaochong unconsciously said and his actions have a similar effect as Thought Guidance.”
“Very similar.” The more Long Yuehong thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason.
Shang Jianyao was ‘surprised and delighted’ as he asked for confirmation, “Xiaochong had Awakened abilities since he was young?”
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were stunned for a moment before they realized that this scene had revealed an abnormally important piece of information.
Although it was very reasonable for Master Zhuang’s body of descent to be a little abnormal since he was young, this situation gave an answer to a question on many people’s minds for the first time: Awakened existed before the Old World was destroyed!
