In the end... she even managed to kill the much stronger thug, Wang Dazhuang.
This is impossible! Under normal circumstances, her mother, a woman nearing forty, shouldn't be able to defeat a strong man! But the fact is, she killed Wang Dazhuang!
Excluding impossible factors, the only possibility is that her mother... was possessed by a wandering ghost!
The thought made her breath catch in her throat, and a chill ran down her spine. Looking at Qin Qing's tender and concerned eyes, she felt a terrifying dread! The thought was utterly chilling! Her heart was filled with fear and dread…
Considering her ability to conjure up treasures effortlessly, she was right! Her mother... might not be human!
After taking good care of Xiao Muyue, Qin Qing was also feeling a bit listless. After all, driving the carriage alone in the high temperature was really exhausting...
She looked up, intending to call Zhang He over to take care of her, but saw Zhang He staring at her with a look of horror on her face, as if she had seen a ghost!
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhang He suddenly snapped out of her daze, hurriedly shaking her head in a very strange, flustered manner.
"It's alright, Mother, I'm alright!"
After saying that, he saw the little girl in Qin Qing's arms and seemed to remember something. He quickly went over and snatched her from Qin Qing's arms. The next second, he quickly realized that his actions were too exaggerated. He quickly put on a pale smile and looked at Qin Qing to explain.
"Mom, let me do it~ I will take good care of Yueyue."
After saying that, she walked to the side to cool off, but her eyes kept glancing warily at Qin Qing, leaving Qin Qing completely bewildered.
At this moment, Qin Qing finally realized that something was wrong. His brows furrowed, and he felt even more uncomfortable thinking about how Zhang He had been looking at him with such a strange and complicated gaze these past two days.
She has sacrificed so much for this family, risking her life to be exposed to the scorching sun, and going through all sorts of hardships to come and find someone. Now, however, Zhang He is so wary of her, even keeping his distance. Even a saint would be angry, right?
Her inner resentment quickly showed on her face, but she didn't argue. Instead, she calmly sat down to the side and beckoned Qin Zifeng to come in.
Peony quickly and obediently sat down beside her. After all, compared to Zhang He, whom she had only known for a few days and who was somewhat distant, she naturally preferred her godmother! Qin Zifeng, needless to say, went straight to Xiao Muxing…
"Xingxing, come here for a moment, let's chat."
Qin Zifeng, who was about to walk over, suddenly froze. After glancing at Xiao Muxing, he turned and walked to Qin Qing's side, but his gaze was very strange as he looked at her. Why did he feel that Aunt Zhang He didn't like him?
Xiao Muxing also sensed that something was off. She looked at Qin Qing and then at Zhang He with her big eyes. Her usually clear and decisive eyes showed some helplessness. Qin Qing could only smile helplessly when she saw this, while Zhang He urged her again.
"Xingxing, can't you even listen to your mother? Come here quickly!"
Her tone revealed a hint of anxiety and anger, especially when she saw the way Xiao Muxing looked at Qin Qing. She felt even more flustered, even though she was Xiao Muxing's mother!
Xiao Muxing was taken aback upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and then quietly walked over...
At this moment, an invisible barrier seemed to appear between the close family members, forcibly dividing the six people into two groups!
Two hours later, the scorching heat outside showed no sign of abating; the high temperature persisted, and the surroundings were filled with dust and withered grass, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.
As the sun gradually set, the temperature quietly subsided, but the breeze still brought a suffocating heat.
Inside the dilapidated temple, Qin Zifeng and Shaoyao began gathering firewood nearby, while Qin Qing took out all the quilts and blankets from his spatial storage. Because the atmosphere weakens solar radiation less during the day, the amount of radiation reaching the ground is greater, and the temperature rises quickly. At night, due to the weak heat retention of the atmosphere, heat is lost quickly, and the temperature drops significantly, resulting in a large temperature difference between day and night, and it will definitely be very cold at night.
Just as she was getting ready, Xiao Muxing, who had been drowsy, suddenly woke up and asked curiously.
"Grandma, it's so hot outside, why did you bring out so many blankets? And these blankets are all so pretty, they all look so soft."
Qin Qing smiled and was about to speak when she saw Zhang He reach out and pull Xiao Muxing, then glare at her, as if telling her to shut up.
The little girl was also a little unhappy and aggrieved. She didn't like the current atmosphere, and now that her mother was scolding her like this, she could no longer hold back her grievances and anger!
"Mother, what are you doing? Why are you suddenly acting so differently?"
Children are naturally sensitive to their senses and are even more acutely aware of unusual atmospheres and environments. Their thoughts are not complex, so they tend to say whatever comes to mind…
These words startled Qin Qing. She looked at Zhang He, then at Xiao Muxing, who looked aggrieved. She seemed to see her former self, carefully trying to please everyone in order to get their help and attention.
Now, how could she bear to let her own granddaughter suffer such injustice?
Thinking of this, her heart softened, and she was about to speak to ease the tension when Zhang He spoke up, his face filled with incredulous shock and embarrassment, and he said angrily.
"Mu Xing! I'm your mother! Is this how you talk to your mother? Who taught you to be so insolent?!"
The last sentence was even shouted out, clearly indicating that his anger was extremely high!
Startled by the shout, Xiao Muxing froze on the spot, her big eyes staring blankly at Zhang He, speechless…
The next second, huge tears welled up in her eyes, her innocent face filled with grievance and sadness, and she bit her lip hard with her little teeth, trying hard not to cry out loud...
Qin Qing was also angry. She quickly stepped forward, hugged Xiao Muxing, gently wiped away her tears, looked at her with comforting eyes, and spoke in a very gentle voice.
"Don't cry, Xingxing. Your mother is just not feeling well today. She didn't mean to be mean to you! Be good! Grandma was wrong too. She shouldn't have argued with your mother. Don't cry anymore. It will break Grandma's heart if you cry too much!"
These heartfelt words of comfort and concern took on a different meaning when they reached Zhang He's ears. He choked on his words and his face gradually turned angry.
What do you mean by throwing a tantrum? Who knows what this wandering ghost is plotting? Is it wrong for her to protect her child? No matter what, she absolutely cannot let this hypocritical ghost harm her child!
Apologizing to her own child was something she couldn't do, especially since she hadn't done anything wrong! If others couldn't see it, couldn't she? She didn't know how to explain her bad attitude just now, so she could only stand there frozen, without saying a word.
Xiao Muyue was suppressing her grievances, trying hard not to cry out loud, and looked at Zhang He with a stubborn gaze!
