Chapter 56 [Family]

The two female relatives, Yang and Chen, had been frightened pale by the waves of poisonous snakes and insects, but now they had recovered.

She noticed Jiang Lili was uneasy, so she stepped forward and held Jiang Lili's hand, saying kindly and gently, "Lili, believe in Che'er."

"When your father went to the battlefield, I firmly believed him when he said he would come back, and he always kept his word."

She patted Jiang Lili's head and said, "You've done well enough. You are the lucky star of our Zhaoping Marquis Mansion. Let them take care of the rest."

Chen didn't know how to comfort people. She handed the grilled skewers to Jiang Lili and said, "Sister-in-law, you must be hungry. Have some skewers."

Xin Yan had just witnessed the Shura field on earth and snuggled tightly in Chen's arms. Now that everything was finally fine, he wanted to cry out loud.

But when he glanced at his side, he saw the little boy Liao Dabao looking calm and composed, and even using a tree branch to turn over the bodies of dead poisonous snakes and insects. Xin Yan immediately controlled his tears and fear.

My one and a half year old little brother is so calm. As a man from Marquis Zhaoping’s Mansion, how can I fall behind?

Master Liao saw Xin Yan staring at him and thought the child was curious about these small animals. In his childish voice, he used the tone of a veteran teacher to explain to Xin Yan: "Look, this is called a king cobra. It can take on five or six other snakes alone. If you see it, run away from it. If you can't avoid it, hit it in the weakest part. Here, it is right here."

Master Liao was rummaging through the corpses of the poisonous creatures, and Yin Zhen was terrified.

But what happened in the past few days made her realize that her child was a hundred times more reliable than his father, and she could only watch Dabao lecture with helplessness and indulgence.

Liao Dabao had originally said this casually, but upon seeing Xin Yan's admiring and longing eyes, he gradually became more outgoing: "This ugly frog is called a toad. Its skin can secrete toxins, but it can also be used as medicine. You need to peel off its skin and dry it in the sun."

Jiang Lili was eating skewers of meat while watching her one-and-a-half-year-old child giving a lecture to a five-year-old child. Master Liao had few teeth and his speech was lisp.

Jiang Lili was really amused by this funny scene and felt less nervous.

Master Liao shook his head and said logically, "Force alone is not enough. Read more books and go out more. Once you know these poisonous species, you will be able to protect yourself better in the future."

Xin Yan's eyes widened immediately. He was in awe of the one and a half year old kid who was not only brave but also knew so much knowledge.

It turns out that learning knowledge from books is so useful!

He said to Chen in a repentant tone, "Mother, I will never tear up a book again."

It’s so frustrating that my one and a half year old brother knows more than me.

Chen looked at the depressed Xin Yan and laughed heartily, like a mother.

"Knowing shame leads to courage. Mother believes that if you communicate more with your brother Dabao, you will be able to catch up."

The fierce attack from Miaojiang did not scare the people in Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion. Instead, it made everyone more united, and even the children in the mansion grew up rapidly.

At this moment, footsteps were finally heard in the silent wilderness. "They are back!"

Chen stood up in surprise.

The Xin family father and son returned on the moonlit night, followed by their escorts. No one seemed to be injured.

But Xin Che's hands were stained with blood, and he also had a green bamboo flute in his hand.

Jiang Lili trotted over to Xin Che and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"Don't worry, the blood belongs to the Miao tribe."

Xin Che carefully placed the small flute in his hand into Jiang Lili's hand, fearing that the blood on his hand would dirty her hand.

Xin Che took out another bottle of ointment from his pocket and said, "This was left for me by your insider. He said you know how to use it."

Jiang Lili took it. This was the ointment that Hou Xiaoxiao wanted to give her to prevent poison.

This ointment emits a disgusting smell that is similar to that of poison. When applied at night, they can sleep peacefully without worrying about insects getting in.

As for why they didn't give it to Jiang Lili in advance, it was because they were afraid that the Miao people would smell a familiar scent and realize there was a traitor inside.

"Where are the Miao people?"

Xin Cheng explained, "Brother used a poisoned dagger to injure the Miao people and threatened them not to bother us again. Once they were safely down the mountain, the antidote would be placed near the water source closest to the foot of the mountain."

Chen and the others now knew that the people who attacked the Zhaoping Marquisate were from the Miao region. "The Miao people, who are so good at using poison, actually fell for the tricks of foreigners. They must be furious!"

Jiang Lili was relieved to hear that the Miao people had calmed down. She tagged Hou Xiaoxiao in the group chat: [Xiaoxiao, you are not hurt, are you?]

@Hou Xiaoxiao: Safe, I was just scared. Your War God's attacks were terrifyingly fast, like lightning. I was so scared I tripped and twisted my ankle (covering my face). But I was injured so it wouldn't seem strange and they wouldn't suspect me.

@Jiang Lili: Xiaoxiao, you've been so helpful today as a spy. If you need anything, just let me know.

@Hou Xiaoxiao: That's nothing serious. It's just some howling in the group chat. I once worked as a corporate spy, pouring boiling water on the money tree at the company next door. That was thrilling! The entire company's security was chasing me!

@Hou Xiaoxiao: Oh, by the way, give me a pound of lobster that Xiaopang fed you!

@张小胖: I've contacted the chemical plant and will be able to get the dry ice tomorrow. I've also had my family empty the freezer where the goods were stored, so we can seal the batch of venomous snakes.

Hou Xiaoxiao said that after these poisonous snakes are cut off from their owners, they will slowly turn into ordinary poisonous snakes.

Zhang Xiaopang's uncle also recommended a channel to Zhang Xiaopang, which is to sell the poisonous snakes to scientific research institutions to study snake venom serum. The extra ones can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, which is simply like the God of Wealth coming home.

After receiving the message from the two big sponsors, he happily sent a message:

[@张小胖: Okay, I'll feed you right away!]

Xiaopang fed the couple juice and crayfish, and Jiang Lili moved the delicacies to a large wooden box covered with a tablecloth. The spicy aroma of the Sichuan peppercorns had already made everyone feel numb.

Yin Zhen also started to grill the half-grilled fish again. Everyone was hungry, so they took out the juice and started eating!

Yang and Chen both put the peeled shrimp tails into Jiang Lili's bowl, and the shrimp tails in Jiang Lili's bowl piled up like a small mountain.

Xin Che took the grilled fish that Yin Zhen handed to Jiang Lili, asked her to pick out all the bones from the fish, and then put it in front of Jiang Lili.

Jiang Lili was flattered by the outpouring of love from everyone. She quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough. You guys can eat too."

Xin Che looked at Jiang Lili's thin face and said, "Little fairy, eat more to replenish your mana."

He sighed softly, "Thank you for saving Zhaoping Marquis Mansion again tonight."

Jiang Lili caught Xin Che's guilt and said, "Actually, I want to thank you too."

On the first night she came here, she was abandoned by her so-called family and set up a trap. It was Xin Che who turned the situation around with her and fought for survival.

In fact, at the beginning she just wanted to cooperate with the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion in exchange for military protection by using the food she was fed, but she didn't expect that she would gradually integrate into this big family.

Jiang Lili felt that she was unlucky but not too unlucky.

Before she traveled through time, she was an orphan and had no parents since childhood, but her fellow villagers in the fishing village supported her and raised her to go to college.

Although he traveled through time and space with an unlucky identity, he was lucky enough to be loved by his big brothers and classmates and protected by everyone in the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Lili was happily enjoying her meal when she suddenly received a group message: [Yan Chaoyue received your group red envelope.]

Jiang Lili dropped her chopsticks in shock. "No, this guy has a special liking for red envelopes? Why didn't he read the previous story?"
