Episode 11 recap: Feng Bao Bao's Search for Family
Feng Bao Bao brutally killed the gang of thieves, and although the villagers survived, they became terrified of Feng Bao Bao. Xu Shen couldn't understand why Feng Bao Bao, who was clearly capable, didn't intervene to save her husband. She harbored some resentment toward Feng Bao Bao. Moreover, the village gossip made it impossible for the Xu family to continue living with Feng Bao Bao in the village.
As a result, Xu Shen sent Feng Bao Bao to an abandoned house in the mountains. Xu Xiang didn't want to leave Feng Bao Bao behind, but he was forcibly dragged away by Xu Shen and could only leave a grasshopper behind to accompany Feng Bao Bao. Xu Shen lied to Feng Bao Bao, promising to return in a couple of days to pick her up. However, Feng Bao Bao ended up waiting for decades. The house deteriorated over time, with no roof and no signs of relocation. She relied on memories of the happy days when she had a family at the Xu household as she lived year after year.
Feng Bao Bao wanted to find the Xu family, but she was deceived by human traffickers. Xu Xiang, now an elderly man, returned to the village several times to search for Feng Bao Bao but couldn't find her. He believed that Feng Bao Bao was still alive and tried various methods to locate her. That's why he joined the "Connections Everywhere" company, to facilitate his search for Feng Bao Bao. This time, Xu Xiang traveled to Southeast Asia and found a local figure named Rong Shu, asking him for help in finding Feng Bao Bao. While the two were drinking on the street, Feng Bao Bao was nearby stealing buns. However, Xu Xiang only saw the bun basket moving high up, but didn't see Feng Bao Bao's face.
Feng Bao Bao took the buns to feed the homeless children. The children were small but understanding, letting Feng Bao Bao eat first before they ate. However, Feng Bao Bao had a large appetite and ended up eating all the buns in one go, which made the children feel disappointed, thinking that Feng Bao Bao was playing a trick on them. Feng Bao Bao promised to get more buns for them, but this time she didn't come back. She was deceived by a trendy woman who claimed to help her find her family, and without hesitation, Feng Bao Bao followed her.
The woman tidied up Feng Bao Bao and was delighted by her beauty. She locked Feng Bao Bao in a room and sold her the next day. The man who came to buy Feng Bao Bao was satisfied with her appearance, despite her lack of intelligence. He knew that buying her would spare him from dealing with a mentally sound person who might drive him crazy. Feng Bao Bao, not having seen her family, refused to go with them. The men who came with the buyer tried to forcefully keep Feng Bao Bao, but she defeated them all. Intrigued by her strength, the man deceived Feng Bao Bao by promising to give her information about her family and then injected her with a powerful sedative. However, the dosage that could knock out an elephant had no effect on Feng Bao Bao. Refusing to believe it, the man injected her with the entire box of sedatives. Feng Bao Bao started feeling dizzy, and the man ordered his men to beat her severely before tying her up again.
Rong Ge's men learned about Feng Bao Bao and informed Xu Xiang, who recognized her when he went to inspect the goods. He was excited internally but remained calm on the surface. After rescuing Feng Bao Bao and witnessing her battered state from wanting to find her family, Xu Xiang reported the criminal gang responsible, seeking revenge on Feng Bao Bao's behalf. Feng Bao Bao always looked the same, never aging. To provide her with a normal identity, Xu Xiang arranged for her to work as a temporary employee in various places.
Zhang Chu Lan believed that Xu Xiang's story had nothing to do with his grandfather. Xu Xiang then mentioned that several years ago, he received news that many top experts were tracking someone. He took Feng Bao Bao and went to find Zhang Xi Lin. By the time they found him, he was severely injured. Zhang Xi Lin became extremely excited when he saw Feng Bao Bao. Although he knew her true identity, he refused to reveal it and asked Feng Bao Bao to take him back. Feng Bao Bao agreed, but Zhang Xi Lin was critically injured by the time they reached the Zhang family's gate. Sensing that he was losing control, he entrusted Feng Bao Bao to protect Zhang Chu Lan as she grew up. He also asked her to give Zhang Chu Lan the item he had given her before he died when Zhang Chu Lan entered the world of supernatural abilities and needed it. Lastly, he requested Feng Bao Bao's assistance in setting him free, and she complied with his every request.
Feng Bao Bao remained true to her promise and protected Zhang Chu Lan for over a decade, fulfilling her commitment to Zhang Xi Lin. Xu Xiang revealed all of this to Zhang Chu Lan, informing her that participating in the Extraordinary Abilities Conference held no benefits for the Everywhere Communication, but it could help Feng Bao Bao uncover her past. Feng Bao Bao confirmed Xu Xiang's words and felt that something had changed within her since being with Zhang Chu Lan. Xu Xiang, in agony, coughed up blood and was on the verge of death. Feng Bao Bao gently rubbed Xu Xiang's earlobe and sang the lullaby Xu's aunt had taught her. Xu Xiang peacefully passed away while listening to the song.
Ah Wu, is the mentor who taught Gou Wa the cultivation of Qi in his childhood. She is his innocent first love during his youth, the sister he has been searching for, the family he cannot let go of in his middle age, the cherished daughter in his old age, and the person he can never forget throughout his life.
Aunt Zhao's fear of Baobao is understandable, not because she believes Baobao is capable of killing someone, but because she's afraid that Baobao shows no emotional change when committing such an act. Moreover, it's when she faces Baobao's innocent gaze that she realizes it's herself who has truly "killed" someone.
Wanting to take Doggie away, she's actually trying to escape this reality. She thinks Baobao's indifference is merely a phrase Xu Uncle once said to her, which she uses as an excuse. After all, for a woman who has been told by someone she doesn't know what love is, how could she not sense it, being such an attentive person?
Episode 11, just like Zhang Chu Lan's grandfather said, what people fear the most are those who are too different from them. If you're too wicked, they'll eliminate you. If you're too weak, they'll trample on you.
If you're too good or too strong, they'll be suspicious. Only when you're similar to them can they possibly accept you with peace of mind...
Truth: Zhang Huai Yi, carrying the Angelic Talisman, descended from the mountain to travel. He boarded a train where there was a rootless person, related to the resistance against the Japanese invasion.
Someone died on the train, leaving behind a child. In order to save the child, 36 people gathered and Wutian Shi embarked on a mission to save them. Among the 36, there were traitors, and the major clans began to compete for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
And so, the story begins like this...
