Zhao Jinfa's scolding did have an effect.

Having assessed their own abilities, no one dared to risk their lives to propose going out to suppress the bandits.

Suppressing bandits is the government's business; it has nothing to do with ordinary people.

After more than a month of traveling at high speed, Zhao Qingyan finally returned to Zhao Family Village.

For convenience, Zhao Qingyan wore riding clothes the whole way, and with the sun exposure all day, she became several shades darker.

At least when they entered the village, the guards

The person almost didn't recognize him.

"Oh dear, Third Miss, what's going on? Everyone says that the environment in the capital is good for people, but you've gotten so tanned after your trip there."

"If it falls on the ground, can you still pick it up?"

The one speaking was Zhao's uncle, who was within five degrees of kinship.

Zhao Qingyan chuckled awkwardly, "Uncle, do you think I can still pick it up?"

"Yes, yes, of course you can! Who can't? You can too! It's just that your uncle doesn't know how to talk. You should go home now; your grandma must miss you."

After Zhao Qingyan left, the uncle who had spoken earlier patted his chest.

"That girl from the third brother's family is so scary. I really thought she was going to beat me up just now."

With my build, how could I possibly withstand a beating from her?

The people on the side laughed heartily.

"You're overthinking it. Most people wouldn't even have the chance to get beaten up by their niece."

If our niece really hits someone, one punch and they're dead.

So you're all secretly happy that you're not taking action easily, but don't be so sarcastic later. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble when someone gets in your way.

Another voice chimed in, "If you're done tidying up, just find a corner and squat down to cry. Do you think you're some kind of grown man who needs someone to hand you a handkerchief or something?"

"Hahaha……"

The guards continued their patrols.

In Qingshan Xiaozhu.

"My sweetie, you're back. Oh dear, what did you put on your face? It's so dark!"

Huang reached out to wipe Zhao Qingyan's face.

Zhao Qingyan shifted her body slightly to the side and grabbed Huang's hand.

"Grandma, I just got sunburned, I didn't put anything on."

"What? My dear girl, what happened to you? Why did you ruin your face like this? Will you ever be able to get married?"

"Don't let your dark face scare that kid Dong Sheng away, or he'll be crying somewhere else."

Huang was very agitated. Zhao Qingyan had always worked in the fields with the adults, and her face had never turned this bad.

What happened? He went to Beijing and his online persona has reached new heights of obscenity.

Zhao Qingyan was helpless. As the person involved, she didn't feel that getting darker was a big deal.

But now, this skin color is a huge problem in the eyes of Huang and the other women of the Zhao family.

"Women should cherish their appearance."

It'll take at least a year and a half to recover from its current state. I just don't know if it will ever regain its previous whiteness.

Looking at Zhao Qingyan's face, Wang Caixia couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

"Oh, it's no big deal. I've been riding horses every day lately, and wearing a hat is so inconvenient. If I ride a little faster, the hat falls off."

So I simply didn't bring it.

Aside from some tan spots, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm not sunburned. My skin is great.

After Zhao Qingyan finished explaining, everyone's attention shifted back to why they were riding horses instead of carriages.

"Alright, everyone, please sit down. I came back this time with my godfather. He doesn't have much time left in this world."

I came back just to see him off.

Tomorrow morning, I will go into the mountains to build a burial site for my godfather.

I'm not sure when I'll be back, but don't worry, I'll be fine.

Zhao Qingyan dropped such a bombshell as soon as she got home, which really shocked her family.

"No, sweetie, isn't your godfather... isn't he very capable? How could he be like this..."

Zhao could not continue speaking.

Knowing how formidable Zhao Han was, how could they say he was about to be gone?

"Grandma, it's because Godfather is just too powerful that he is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao."

Grandma, Godfather has only left, he hasn't passed away, so don't worry.

Zhao Qingyan patiently comforted Huang Shi.

"My dear girl, are you telling the truth?"

"Then tomorrow our whole family will go up the mountain to help dig up your godfather's burial site."

Zhao Qianci said.

Zhao Qingyan shook her head.

"No need, none of you need to go. I can handle this all by myself. None of you can get involved."

My godfather said I had to do it myself.

Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm hungry, I'll go back and take a shower first. Grandma, please have someone make me something to eat.

After saying that, Zhao Qingyan returned to her small building.

I haven't been back for several months, but the small building is still clean, which shows that someone cleans it regularly.

"Old man, my dear daughter's godfather, is there any way you can help him..."

Huang was unusually vulnerable and sought help from Zhao Qianci.

"We have to ask her directly. Since she won't tell us, we'll have to ask her godfather ourselves."

But where is Mr. Zhao? Has anyone seen him?

Zhao Qianci then realized that the main character had never shown up throughout the entire story.

Zhao Qingling stood up. "I'll go find someone."

"Come back and sit down."

"I presume your third sister has already settled you in. Have you finished your studies? You should be confident about next year's imperial examinations. Hurry up and get back to your studies."

Zhao Qianci kicked all the younger members of his family out.

He left behind three sons and two daughters-in-law.

"Dad, let our daughter come out later and ask her how the Zhao brothers are doing. If they can be treated, we'll go and get the best doctor to treat them."

He was a good person; we can't just let him die like that.

For once, Zhao Minggeng wasn't jealous of Zhao Han.

"What do you know? To tell you the truth, the girl's godfather is no ordinary person; he is a half-step into the Divine Transformation realm."

Otherwise, why would the girl be so calm, only saying "sending her off" instead of "passing away"? She didn't mention finding a cemetery, but rather a burial site.

Do you understand what I mean? A bunch of idiots. They don't use their brains.

Everyone...

I've tried to think about it, but I still can't figure it out. Is someone who's halfway to godhood a god or not?

Where bones are buried, the soul departs, but the bones remain?

Is that what you mean? The more the people in the room thought about it, the more they realized it made sense, and they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.

In the past, people would kowtow and burn paper money for their ancestors during festivals, believing that this was a way to express their emotions.

Now that emotional attachment has become a tangible reality, isn't that terrifying? In other words, there really is some unspeakable existence in this world.

Good heavens. Thank goodness it's broad daylight. Otherwise, that chilly breeze would send shivers down my spine.

Zhao Han, who was being discussed by these people, was sitting by the large stove in the space, frying meat.

"You brat, you just love meat. Make these two pots of braised pork slices today..."

Tomorrow I need to ask her to process more fish and make her several more pots of sauerkraut fish.

With skills like this, that girl could never forget her father.
