Chapter 117 The Drama Queen
Xia Qingyu smiled bitterly when she heard that.
"My dear second brother, please stop making fun of me.
No matter how noble my status was in the past, I am now just an exile.
It’s unknown when I will die on the road, as long as my eldest and second brothers don’t mind and take me in.
From now on, our family will be united with the eldest and second brothers. From now on, if the eldest and second brothers say east, we will definitely not go west. "
Xia Chengsheng felt extremely depressed when he saw his youngest son's servile behavior.
As his father, the brat had never spoken to him in such a humble manner.
Liu Youran looked at his expression and knew what her husband was thinking. She reached out and pulled his hand to comfort him.
Xia Chengsheng soon felt relieved. His little brat was doing this for all of them. He really grew up.
The second in command looked at Xia Qingyu and the Xia family members behind him.
"Brother Xia, if you think so, we would certainly welcome it. We have so many brothers in our village, so we have to be cautious in some matters.
"How about this? Brother Xia's family will have to stay here for a few days. Brother Xia, come with us to do something big these two days. After it's done, I'll treat you and your family to some wine and meat. How about that?"
Of course not, but he couldn't say it.
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyu glanced at Xia Xing'er.
Xia Xing'er immediately put on a dramatic expression and said pitifully, "Third brother, I don't want to stay in jail. Can you take me out with you? I will be obedient and won't cause any trouble for you."
As he spoke, tears were about to fall.
Xia Qingyu quickly stepped forward and coaxed her, "Little sister, don't cry. Third brother knows you are afraid. You have been spoiled by our family since you were a child. How could you possibly get used to living in a cell? Third brother, I beg you, eldest brother and second brother, you are my sister, of course you are also their biological sister.
They will definitely not let you live here, and will definitely let you go out with me."
Then he looked at Scarface and the second in command helplessly.
“Big Brother and Second Brother, you have seen that my little sister is too delicate. Although we have been exiled all the way, she is still spoiled by the whole family.
Even my three youngest nephews dote on their aunt.
I have had a good relationship with this little sister since we were young. If I go out alone, I will leave her here to suffer. I really can't bear it.
Big Brother and Second Brother, since we are about to become a family, can you please let me and my younger sister help you with your work? Don’t worry, I will definitely help you with whatever my younger sister wants to do.”
Upon hearing this, Scarface and the second in command looked at each other in surprise.
They had never expected that someone could pamper their younger sister in this way. This was the first time they had seen such a thing.
Xia Qingyu bowed to them again and said, "Big Brother and Second Brother, I really want to recognize you two as my real brothers."
Then he pointed at the Xia family behind him and said, "Look, we still have so many family members here. Even if my younger sister and I go out, we won't dare to have any bad intentions."
The second in command looked at Scarface.
"Brother Xia, you're really joking. Since we're all family, how could I not trust you?
From now on, your family is our family. Since you came from the capital, you must have some understanding of those officials. Let's go drink, eat meat, and chat together."
As he said this, he personally opened the prison door for Xia Xing'er and her brother.
Seeing this, the others also stood up. It was not certain whether they could survive the exile. Those who had been on the road with them yesterday had already gone to see the King of Hell today. After death, they could not even be buried and their bodies could only be exposed in the wilderness.
If they stayed in the mountain village, they would not only have a place to live but also enough food to eat. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was a good way out.
Didn't you see that even the Xia family stayed in the village? Besides, even the officials were arrested.
"Big Brother and Second Brother, you will be my adoptive parents from now on!"
"Big brother, second brother, I am willing to stay. Please take me in."
"I am willing to do so as well. I will follow the lead of my elder and second brothers from now on."
"And me, and me, I am also willing to serve my elder brother and second brother at my whim."
“…”
Scarface was a little surprised when he saw this.
The second in command was dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his face and a look of confidence, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Brother, I'm not wrong, are normal people the ones who know how to choose?
Rather than starving and freezing on the road of exile and having no place to live, it is better for you to stay in our mountain stronghold and enjoy a good life."
Of course, most people did not speak, mainly women and children.
Women with children held their babies tightly in their arms, while women without children huddled in the corner.
The second in command smiled and looked at everyone again.
"How about this, most of you exiled people are exiled with your entire families. Fathers, please step forward and come with us. In a few days, we will help you accomplish something big. Once we're done, all your family members will be able to come out."
Then he called a few bandits and asked them to choose someone to take the Xia brothers and sisters away.
After Xia Xing'er and the others completely left the cell, they discovered that the entire cell was made up of a large cave.
Although Xia Xing'er had detected it with her mental power before, actually seeing it was another matter.
Xia Xing'er stuffed a pill into Xia Qingyu's hand and whispered, "Third brother, this is a hangover pill. Take it quickly. You will definitely drink alcohol later."
The brother and sister followed Scarface and the second in command for a long time before they arrived at a yard.
The second in command said with a smile: "Brother Xia, this is my yard. You and my sister should not be disgusted. Just stay here for now."
Xia Qingyu didn't show any disdain when she heard this.
"What are you talking about, second brother? We have been exiled all the way from the capital, and it is common for us to sleep in the mountains. Now we actually have a house to live in. This is already a great thing."
Soon, the bandits brought up drinks, roast chicken, and peanuts...
The second-in-command poured wine into a bowl.
"Brother Xia, drink this bowl of wine, and from now on we are brothers."
Xia Qingyu took the wine from the bowl and said to Scarface and Erdaojia: "Big Brother, Second Brother, just call me Qingyu from now on. I'll drink first as a toast. Thank you, Big Brother and Second Brother, for not despising us and taking us in."
Then he picked up the bowl and drank the wine in one gulp as a toast.
Seeing that Xia Qingyu had already drunk, the second in command asked Xia Xinger to drink as well.
"Sister, you drink too!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyu hurriedly picked up the wine in front of Xia Xing'er.
"Brother, please forgive me. My sister has been weak since she was a child and cannot drink alcohol. I will drink this bowl for her."
Seeing that he was drinking so happily, Scarface thought more highly of him. He didn't kill him because the village was short of people. It must be said that this man's skills were really good and he might be of great use in the future.
Scarface slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, saying, "Okay, okay, you can drink quite well. I, Bu Qing, will recognize you as my brother."
