Little One Tears the Villain's Script - Chapter 102

Is Ultraman OK? (1)

Jiang Xiaoman’s mouth dropped, and for a while, she also didn’t know how to react.

The children were exclaiming in amazement.

They had never seen such a fierce stone lion before. It was so majestic!

Zhang Xinhua stared at it blankly for a while, then asked Xiaoman, “Xiaoman, is this your handicraft?”

“Ye…yeah.” Jiang Xiaoman twiddled with her fingers while whispering. “It’s just that my uncle helped make it.”

The more she stared, the more familiar the stone lion seemed. Xiaoman quickly realized: wasn’t this the stone lion that guarded the doors of their house in the village? If Grandma found out, wouldn’t Xiaoman get spanked when she got home?

Zhang Xinhua muttered a “Wow” again with a very exaggerated expression.

Ye Jiajia pointed to the mud at the base of the lion statue and asked, “Xiaoman, is this made of stone or earth? Why is there mud on it?”

“It is made from stone. The stone lion used to protect the door of my house in the village. Grandma said that having it at the door would keep the house safe and invite fortune.”

Oops, she accidentally blurted it out.

Xiaoman quickly covered her mouth. Fortunately, the children paid no attention.

“What does keeping the house safe mean?”

“What does inviting fortune mean?”

“…” Jiang Xiaoman suddenly discovered that she was not the only chatterbox. Every child under the sky was all the same.

She didn’t answer those questions because she didn’t understand them very well. She just continued saying, “Anyways, Grandma said that it’s good open to put a sacred beast at the door of your house.”

“What kind of beast is a sacred beast? ”

“Up to you. I don’t know either. As long as it looks a bit weird, it should be okay.”

Zhang Xinhua seemed to be thinking of something. He nodded his head and said, “Then I’m also going to ask my dad to put one to guard the front of our house.”

Jiang Xiaoman asked curiously, “What are you going to put?”

“Is Ultraman OK?”

Ultraman?

Jiang Xiaoman held her head and thought for a while, then said, “Then, I also want to put up the Monkey King.”

The two children reached a consensus and planned to raise the topic as soon as they got home.

The children in junior class 3 liked the majestic stone lion, and asked Xiaoman if they could touch it.

Jiang Xiaoman was very happy and generously said they could touch it, but they had to form a queue.

Everyone could only touch it once before letting the next kid get their turn.

Some of the children asked to ride the stone lion, but Xiaoman did not let them.

After all, it was not a wooden horse. How could it be ridden?

Well, they weren’t wrong. The stone lion was indeed of a very suitable size for children to ride on. Xiaoman had once tried riding on it too when it was in front of their house.

As a consequence, Grandma spanked her, saying that she was acting inappropriate and disrespectful, and the lion would not protect her.

After the children formed a long queue, everyone was able to touch the rock lion, then went to class content.

Jiang Xiaoman was in a very good mood when school was over.

Jiang Xing didn’t go back to the village right away. He planned to stay here for one night first, so he came to pick up Xiaoman today while also taking away the stone lion.

He brought it to their house in the city to guard it.

The stone lion was indeed taken from their house in the village.

The soil at its base had not been wiped clean, and the marks left by the wind and frozen dew over the years had given it an old, quaint look.

Jiang Xiumei said that she had especially sought out an old stonemason to make it. It was his ancestral craft, and now that the old stonemason had passed away, no one had inherited the craftsmanship, and it was almost extinct.

This stone lion was a unique treasure indeed.

Jiang Xing didn’t know how to make clay figurines, but he also didn’t want his niece to be embarrassed, so he could only pry out the stone lion and bring it with him.

They wouldn’t be staying in their house in the village as much, so the lion was not guarding the right place anyways. Might as well bring it over.
