I originally thought that with so many men in the Qiao family, there was nothing to worry about.
Little did anyone expect that Song Laosan would return as a captain and insist on making trouble for the Qiao family.
The two siblings rushed into the Qiao family's courtyard.
They stumbled and fell to the ground.
Before he could even think about himself, Mu Xinghe looked around nervously and saw the Qiao family members with surprised expressions.
"Xinghe, what's wrong with you? Is a ghost chasing you?" Old Man Qiao asked in surprise.
Everyone quickly went to help the two siblings up.
Mu Xinghe looked around and saw Qiao Xier, who was perfectly fine.
He was stunned.
Then, I felt relieved and filled with excitement and joy.
It was as if a huge, heavy cloud had dispersed, revealing the blue sky and sunshine.
"Waaaaah, you're still here! That's wonderful! I heard that Song Laosan was going to kill you all! Waaaaah!" Mu Xingyue burst into tears.
"I'm so scared."
Qiao Lian'er hugged her and stroked his head: "It's alright, it's alright, it was just a false alarm."
"Where are my uncles? Where are my elder brother?" Mu Xinghe noticed that none of the men from the Qiao family were there.
"They've joined the army, following General Chu, and are currently registering at the camp," Qiao Yunni said.
"Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have even become junior officers."
Mu Xinghe was stunned; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way so quickly.
It was truly a rollercoaster ride.
He immediately realized that the Qiao family was offering their services to a general in order to save their own lives.
The Qiao family members are naturally strong and skilled in fighting. Anyone would be willing to recruit them to strengthen the team.
"That's good, that's good." Mu Xinghe took a deep breath and then exhaled.
Qiao Lian'er gave them the water of divine talismans, and the two of them felt that most of their strength had been restored, and their legs were no longer sore. They couldn't help but look surprised.
There must be some kind of magical medicine in this water.
"You can stay here for lunch," said Madam Feng, adding another bowl of rice to the pot.
"Hmm." Mu Xinghe was still a little shaken.
Back in Gouzi Village, I heard that knives were held to the necks of the Qiao family, and no matter how much the villagers kowtowed to Song Laosan, it was no use.
Many villagers came to the door and brought eggs, ranging from a few to a dozen or so.
"Although your Qiao family is unharmed, you have been frightened. Your home has just been requisitioned, and you don't have much left. Please accept these eggs."
"No, no, the children have become soldiers. We've turned misfortune into blessing. We're happy about it and not afraid at all. Take all the eggs back. We'll remember your kindness," Grandma Qiao said firmly.
“So much stuff has been taken away. Every little bit we have at home is precious. Even an egg can make a meat soup. This time, we absolutely will not take it.”
"Otherwise, they're just trying to make things difficult for this old woman, trying to make me feel uneasy." Old Mrs. Qiao put it a little harshly.
The villagers had no choice but to put the eggs away.
"It's good that you're still here, it's good that you're still here. Everyone was so worried."
"Song Laosan became a captain, thinking he could protect the villagers. Little did I know he was a beast who came to the village to establish his authority and exploit the villagers."
"Da Yong and Da Cheng have become junior officers. I hope they will continue to strive for excellence and climb higher so that they can protect their fellow villagers."
