Qiao Lian'er shook her head: "No, three people aren't enough, six or seven would be more like it."

“Then both Dad and son will go,” said Qiao Lao Er. “We’ve fought so many wild beasts, and their claws are like swords. We can handle them all, so why should we be afraid of those bandits? Let’s imagine those bandits as wild beasts and use our usual skills.”

"We, the Qiao family, can cooperate even better than they can."

"Moreover, the two bosses will spend a day teaching us some skills. I always feel that if we are bolder, we still have a great chance."

His words made everyone even more interested.

Old Man Qiao suddenly stood up and walked out the door without looking back.

Then everyone heard the door to the room slam shut.

That door seemed to slam into everyone's hearts, making their hearts feel heavier.

“Don’t worry about your father. If you really decide to go, I will try to persuade him,” said Old Mrs. Qiao.

Her gaze was sharp as she surveyed everyone present.

"Just tell me, do you have that confidence?"

"Can you guarantee me that there won't be any problems?"

“If anyone dies out there, we won’t clean up after them, nor will we burn incense or paper money for them. They’ll just be left to wander as a ghost.”

Seeing Old Lady Qiao's intimidating aura, like a tigress, everyone's resolve strengthened instantly.

"We are confident."

"We guarantee that we will all come back alive."

Qiao Xiaomeng said loudly, "Even if you die out there, you still have backbone. You drift along peacefully and don't come to me in my dreams asking for food or clothes."

Da Yong: "Yes, if I'm incompetent and die out there, how can I have the nerve to ask my family for anything?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone knows that what Grandma Qiao said was just to scare people, because she was afraid something bad would happen to everyone.

That's how the matter was settled.

After everyone had left, Old Mrs. Qiao left the door of the main room slightly ajar, lit three incense sticks in front of the shrine, and clasped her hands together while chanting incantations.

"Ancestors, you must protect them and keep them safe. Each one of them is the life of me and this old man. If anything happens to any of them, I and this old man will not live."

“We live in a thatched hut, but we had no choice but to send our children on this risk. It’s also because I’m greedy that I want to build a bigger yard so that my granddaughters who have married out will have a place to stay in the future. If things don’t go well with their husbands and they get divorced, they can still have a room when they come back. These are all my thoughts. Whatever retribution comes down on my head.”

Qiao Lian'er, Qiao Xi'er, and Qiao Zhizhi were outside in the moonlight, sorting through the things they had bought from the county town. Hearing the noise, they all peeked through the door.

One by one, their eyes were a little moist.

The grandmother's worries were no less than the grandfather's. In order to get the family back on its feet as soon as possible, she had to send everyone on a risky journey.

They have endured too many years of hardship and suffered too many years of contempt.

Everyone wants to give this piece of land a completely new look.

Qiao Lian'er lowered her eyelids. She hoped her family would go, not just to make money, but also to cover up the truth.

Once the level 2 and advanced items in the space are unlocked one after another, they will bring considerable profits. However, these items do not exist in this world. If the villagers investigate and think that they have found something extraordinary from the mountain, and try to force them to reveal it and share it, then there will be big trouble.

At that time, we can use the escort mission as cover, because the potential for success in escort missions is very high.
