"Calm, don't panic" Stepmother Gao Ruolan, held two spears in both hands, and the three daughters also put their hands on the weapons.

"Let me go to take a look." Before the father and the stepmother replied, Stone jumped out of the carriage and walked forward with bare hands.

There were six people, hair long to shoulders, and bare heads. They are obviously Khitan. Everyone wrapped their faces in a linen scarf, held weapons of varying lengths.

These men watched a boy coming off the carriage, they probably guessed that the enemy sent this boy coming to test.

Maybe they wanted to catch a prisoner and some of them toward Stone. 

Stone was prepared for it, he quickly climbed up a tree, and put a thumb and index finger into the mouth and made a very loud whistle.

With the sound of the whistle, the arrow shot by Xiao Fugui also arrived, flew past the head of these men, nailed to a tree trunk, the feathers trembled fiercely, making a very dull sound.

They were all shaken by this arrow and the thin man who was preparing to go to the tree squatted under the tree. Stone took advantage of this opportunity and continued to climb up the tree.

"I am Guards Major General of Liao, my name is Xiao Fugui, I require everybody to let us pass." Stone heard very clearly, this was the popular accent in the northwest of his "future world", and there was no difference between the sounds of that father and this father.

That father was not stubborn at home. He was afraid of their wives, but he was strong outside. In the village of the "future world", no one dares to offend him. Later, he joined the army and went to the battlefield in Vietnam, it is said that he could dismantle the grenade in three minutes, and can skillfully replace the automatic rifle magazine with one hand. It was because of this that he became a detective and was promoted to a sergeant.

The father threw a bag of money at the big man.

The man took the money bag agilely, raised his hands over his head, and came to Xiao Fugui's front. He knelt down and said in Chinese: "My name is Xiao Goushen, the ex-officer in the army of Liao. After being defeated by the Jurchen army there is no way to go, I beg your pardon to join you!".

Xiao Fugui used his long spear to give the man in front of him a piece of white cloth and said, "Well, write your name, position, birthplace, date of birth, home address, hobby, etc. on the cloth and give the cloth back to me, then take my token. Go to Nanjing to join in us. Remember: You can't do the business of robbery again!"

The man took the white cloth respectfully, bit his finger, and wrote a line of words on the white cloth. His partners done the same after him.

Xiao Fugui took out a gold-plated token and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Looking at this group of people walking away, Stone came down from the tree and returned to the carriage.

  After the mother Fang Ruolan began to blame his husband: "My double bear has not been drunk for a long time, how can you let them go so easily?"  

"We,Han people in the Liao Kingdom, are ethnic minorities, try not to hate with the Khitan people." Xiao Fugui smiled to comfort his wife.

"I know that you are a waste, forget it." Gao Ruolan said.

"I blame my father for being a good man, not a waste!" Stone finally couldn't help but yell at her stepmother.

Gao Ruolan's eyes flashed and looked at the son, and hated for a moment, suddenly bursting up: "Haha! This is my boy, really like a man!"  

"I don't know if this kid is a good thing," Fang Ruolan said to Xiao Fugui. "Let me teach him, you can't intervene."

"Then, Stone is entrusted to you for his education. I am really very busy with the training of the soldiers, I don't dare to delay." Xiao Fugui could not help his wife to discipline the children.

There are very few women who have been in the history of civilization. The things written on stones, tortoise shells, bamboo slips, silk crepe, or paper seemed to prove that the world had always been dominated by men. However, in family life, the father always seemed to be dispensable, and many famous people seemed to come from the single-parent families.

Even the heroes of the online time travel back novels usually had a mother, and almost all the men did not have their fathers, or the fathers had little influence on them.

Thinking this way, the father named Xiao Fugui, who was in his later world and this life, could only listen to his wife's words in the family, and gave everything to his wife, just liked Liu Hutou's family, almost all of them were administrated by Zhao's wife. Was the fact true, was man really useless? 

Fang Ruolan was more and more interested in the stone. Stone didn't like this stepmother very much. He thought that in the future, he would not only have to eat in the same pot with this stepmother but also would be controlled by the stepmother. Thinking about this, Stone had some headaches.

At dusk, Fang Ruolan let her husband stop the car next to the more spacious roadside grove, and the whole family found a relatively flat place to prepare for camping.

Stone helped his father to remove some sticks and tarpaulins from the car and quickly set up a small tent. The horse was also unloaded from the carriage. Stone accompanied it to the side of the small river to drink water. After that, He took a wooden tub and poured some half-broken beans into it to feed the horse.

Fang Ruolan, with the three girls, used their slingshot to shoot the wild geese and wild ducks in riverside, and soon returned with six fat wild birds. Then, the girls cut the belly of these wild birds, took out the internal organs, put in some spices, and then wrapped the birds thickly with salt water and mud, and placed them in the campfire.

"Stone, have you learned martial arts?" asked Fang Ruolan.

"No, to play martial arts need to eat too much food, I have never played." The stone said carelessly.

  "Want to learn martial arts?" Fang Ruolan's enthusiasm was not affected by the cold attitude of the stone.  

"I don't want to learn it," the stone refused very simply. Playing martial arts, eating meat every day, the father was just a simple officer of this fallen Imperial army, to feed this family, but also to help Liu Hutou's family, how can eat meat for practicing martial arts?

"The thing that eats meat is on me," Fang Ruolan became bold,"You just have to practice martial arts during the day and night."

There was a trace of fleshy smell in the fire, and Xiao Fugui took a large coach from the fire and hit it with his hand.

"Okay, you do need to show up, I am not afraid that people don't know that you can't practice the iron sand palm." Fang Ruolan hold the hand and blew it. It was clear that she loves his man so much. This action made the stone fell warm in heart.

Speaking, Fang Ruolan threw a thin wooden stick into the fire, and the wooden stick smashes the two muds wrapped in the wild Qin. Xia Qing quickly picks up the wooden stick. The dry soil was smashed and felt to the side of the fire.

Three large wild birds, all the feathers are stuck by the mud,  the skin is slightly yellowish, and the fragrance in the air was spread everywhere.

Stone and the two sisters took out a knife and cut the wild birds into pieces. Everyone was very  happy.  

At this time, the horse on the stump suddenly rang, and the families stood up quickly.

More than a dozen blue light spots were closing, and there was some blood odor in the air.
