The lunch was set on the table at noon.
Today, the sun was particularly bright, and without any wind, everyone decided to eat in the courtyard and enjoy the sunshine.
Lin Jiaxuan still showed no intention of coming out, despite several attempts by the little girl and Lu Yao to call her out.
Xiao Feng closed the string-bound book in his hand, walked over, and knocked on the door, saying disgruntledly, "What? Do I have to keep visiting like Zhuge Liang to get you out for a meal?"
"Stop bothering me!" Lin Jiaxuan shouted angrily.
"Oh, still alive, huh?" Xiao Feng seemed quite surprised.
There was no further sound from the room.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Xiao Feng knocked on the door again and said, "You'd better come out quickly, it'll be bad if I have to come in and drag you out."
Nonetheless, there was still no response from within.
"Fine, refusing to talk, huh? Just wait!" Xiao Feng threatened with a cold sneer.
Turning around and walking to the little girl, Xiao Feng said, "Where's the loudspeaker I just asked you to buy?"
"Here it is." The little girl pointed to a large black handbag not far away and took out three boxes from inside.
After opening the packaging boxes, they revealed handheld loudspeakers, often used by vendors selling steamed buns and pastries.
These loudspeakers had a recording function, and Xiao Feng recorded some audio and then instructed, "One at the door, and one at each window. I guarantee that within ten minutes, she'll obediently come out."
The little girl and the others were skeptical but still followed through, placing the loudspeakers at the door and window sills.
Xiao Feng went over and pressed the play button on each one.
"Xiao Xuanza, Xiao Xuanza, Xiao Xuanza, Xiao Xuanza..."
Suddenly, the phrase "Xiao Xuanza" started to loop continuously, and due to the asynchronous playback of the three loudspeakers, it sounded bizarre and brainwashing!
"Let's eat." Xiao Feng clapped his hands, signaling everyone to sit down to eat.
"It's too noisy to have any appetite for eating," Zhao Guo'an complained.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Feng immediately retorted, "How else are we going to get her out of there?"
When people need to think, a quiet environment is essential; otherwise, they become upset and unable to focus.
Xiao Feng's tactic was to disrupt Lin Jiaxuan's ability to think; eventually, she'd naturally come out.
Inside the room, Lin Jiaxuan lay on the bed with a pillow blocking her ears, but the sound still kept penetrating her ears.
"Xiao Xuanza, Xiao Xuanza, Xiao Xuanza..."
Lin Jiaxuan finally couldn't bear it any longer, threw the pillow aside, and marched to the door, pulling it open fiercely.
"Bang!"
The door swung open, and Lin Jiaxuan's eyes locked onto Xiao Feng, bursting with anger, "Are you annoying or what?"
Xiao Feng ignored her and shrugged, proudly saying, "See? Three minutes and twenty-five seconds—didn't even last five minutes."
Zhao Guo'an's face turned dark: "If she stayed in there any longer, we'd all give up."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a 'crack,' and a bamboo ladder appeared against the wall.
Soon, a rough-skinned, good-natured middle-aged man stuck his head out and asked, "Are you folks in business?"
The little girl turned off the loudspeakers and replied, "Sorry, definitely disturbed you, right? We were just trying out the loudspeakers, didn't mean anything else."
The middle-aged man seemed to have a good temperament, chuckling, "No harm, just curious about that shout... oh right, Xiao Xuanza, is it?
What is Xiao Xuanza, some kind of snack?"
"Brother, Xiao Xuanza is not a thing," Xiao Feng explained.
"Who're you calling not a thing?" Lin Jiaxuan charged over aggressively.
Xiao Feng, puzzled, responded, "So you're a thing?"
"You're the thing!" Lin Jiaxuan was trembling with anger.
"Now that's unreasonable." Xiao Feng said earnestly, "I say you're not a thing, you're unhappy.
I say you're a thing, you're still not pleased.
So tell me yourself, are you a thing or not?"
"I'll kill you, ahhhh!"
Lin Jiaxuan finally burst, lunging at Xiao Feng to engage him in a scuffle.
The man on the ladder felt increasingly confused but still remarked, "Kids need proper supervision; starting young, they dare to take on adults, what will happen as they grow?"
Xiao Feng, while handling the furious Lin Jiaxuan, laughed and replied, "He makes a good point. I'll give her a thrashing later, you go back and enjoy your meal."
The middle-aged man nodded, climbing down the bamboo ladder.
He could still be heard murmuring, "Wife, do you know what Xiao Xuanza is?"
...
After a round of confrontation, the anger in Lin Jiaxuan's eyes intensified.
She knew that, unarmed and without external help, she was no match for Xiao Feng.
So, she turned decisively and walked back to the room.
As everyone thought she was about to shut the door, Lin Jiaxuan emerged wielding a scythe almost equal to her height.
Meanwhile, the front door slammed open with a "bang," kicked from outside.
A total of more than a dozen people marched in aggressively.
"Quite a turnout here."
The leader was a plain-looking young man, sauntering in with arrogance, looking very punchable.
Lin Jiaxuan glanced at him but said nothing.
The young man glared at her and said, "What are you looking at? Get out of my way, kid!"
As he spoke, he reached out to push Lin Jiaxuan aside.
But it was his misfortune to pick this moment and speak so rudely.
Lin Jiaxuan's gaze turned cold, she swung the scythe towards his arm.
A look of disdain flashed in the youth's eyes: "Little kid with a broken toy... ahhhh!!!"
Watching his arm severed, the youth was terror-stricken, collapsing to the ground, shaking violently and wetting himself noticeably.
The crowd behind him appeared horrified; this little girl had severed someone's arm without even flinching!
Gripped by fear, the dozen individuals began to retreat with visible dread.
"Who gave you permission to leave?" Lin Jiaxuan lifted her head, looking at the doorway.
The group instantly froze, feeling as if their bodies were out of control, unable to move an inch.
Xiao Feng stepped forward, smiling, and asked, "You guys were sent by Bi Quan, right? Why take so long; made me wait such an awfully long time."
"..." The dozen people at the door nearly collapsed, thinking, were these people expecting us all along?
Just as they were pondering, Xiao Feng enthusiastically gestured and said, "Don't be scared, don't be scared, come in, running away is impossible; listen up and cooperate, and you'll suffer less."
"No, no, no... we, we don't know, don't know any Bi Quan." Someone hastily denied.
Xiao Feng was completely unfazed, ordering with authority, "Even if you don't know, it doesn't matter. Seeing you kick the door open, it's clear you're up to no good. Be obedient, line up against the wall, and don't make futile struggles, understood?"
