Chapter 229: Uncle Kneeled Down
Cheng Qiao saw that the main rhizome of the resurrection grass had loosened, and without hesitation, he and the grass entered the space. The eyes of the colorful tiger suddenly shrank, and it fell from above with its four claws bared.
Cheng Qiao watched the huge tiger fall from a height of nearly three meters, and the blue stripes on its body swayed as it turned over.
It turned out to be a tiger with large blue and black stripes, with three thick blue stripes sandwiched between its black fur, which looked very imposing.
It's a pity that you are the natural enemy of the Qilin Resurrection Grass, otherwise I really want to put you into my space. Cheng Qiao feels a little sorry, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. Cheng Qiao still understands these principles.
As soon as the Qilin Resurrection Grass entered the space, it felt the rich spiritual energy of the space and chose a place to take root. However, as soon as it took root, all the surrounding herbs withered.
Not only did the herbs wither, but nearly four acres of black soil had turned into yellow soil except for the place where the Qilin Resurrection Grass took root.
Cheng Qiao didn't expect that the Qilin Resurrection Grass had become so overbearing and unjust. She couldn't help but have a headache. If she had known this, she would have collected the herbs in the space first so that they would not be wasted.
The little red head quickly climbed to the root of the Qilin Resurrection Grass, and wrapped its thick body around the grass, absorbing its powerful vitality.
Cheng Qiao took a wooden barrel, drew a bucket of well water, and poured it all on the ginseng tree that was ruthlessly abandoned by Little Redhead. The ginseng tree was dying, but fortunately the Qilin Resurrection Grass showed mercy and did not intend to deprive the ginseng tree of its vitality.
Cheng Qiao raised her head and looked outside. The big blue and black striped tiger did not leave, but kept sniffing the place where she had just stood, with confusion in the tiger's eyes.
Since you don't leave, I'll do the work. Cheng Qiao started to draw water to irrigate the land, bucket after bucket, until the water level in the well was lower than the length of the rope.
The soil was still yellow, but it was much better than before when it was dry. Cheng Qiao was hungry and tired, so she simply went back to her room to have dinner, take a shower and take a nap.
Little Cheng Li, who was sitting quietly on the bed playing with toys, showed his four small teeth when he saw Cheng Qiao coming in. Cheng Qiao looked at her son who had grown two more small teeth and gave him a kiss without saying anything:
"Baby, mommy will take a bath first, and then give you food."
Little Cheng Li nodded and said “Oh ah ah.”
When Cheng Qiao woke up while holding little Cheng Li, she found that the big blue-and-black striped tiger had left. A height of two or three meters was really nothing to this tiger.
"Baby, just play by yourself. Mommy is going out to find some herbs. If you have any problems, just call me."
Little Cheng Li nodded obediently, and Cheng Qiao flashed out of the space, climbed out of the big hole he had dug, then picked up the shovel and filled the hole.
Cheng Qiao summoned Little Red Head again. Little Red Head had become Cheng Qiao's treasure-hunting snake. As long as it was willing, it could find all kinds of medicinal herbs.
Sure enough, Little Redhead found Fritillaria and Cistanche one by one, and other precious medicinal materials were also discovered by Little Redhead.
"Okay, you've worked hard today, let's go back."
Cheng Qiao knew why Little Redhead was so efficient at work today. It was because he wanted to stay on the Qilin Resurrection Grass.
Cheng Qiao stayed in Qilian Mountains for another three or four days, squeezing out all of Little Redhead's abilities, and finally she was ready to go home with a great harvest. She put her thumb and index finger into her mouth and whistled.
The cries of an eagle came from far away and finally landed in front of Cheng Qiao. When its wings flapped, it raised a large cloud of flying sand and rocks, forcing Cheng Qiao to close his eyes.
"I'm going back."
With a move of Cheng Qiao's hand, the Saker Falcon disappeared instantly. The big tiger with black and blue stripes hiding in the distance was so scared that it shrank back, took two cautious steps back, and ran away out of sight.
Cheng Qiao went down the mountain and unexpectedly saw the little troublemaker dozing off in the cab. He went up and knocked on the window. The little troublemaker suddenly woke up and quickly pulled out his pistol.
Seeing that it was Cheng Qiao, he relaxed, put away his gun, opened the car door and jumped out: "Sister Cheng Qiao, why did you just come down the mountain? I was thinking about whether to ask someone to go up to look for you."
"You're here to pick me up."
"Well, I've been waiting for you for two days."
"Thank you. Put these herbs in the car first, then find a state-owned restaurant to have dinner before going back."
The little troublemaker nodded repeatedly and prepared to go back after dinner. Along the way, he told Cheng Qiao what everyone in the garrison knew. It happened that he then knew that Li Bing had gone to the border.
"Is it dangerous over there?"
"It's really dangerous. From time to time, there are small-scale accidental discharges of guns. You also have to be especially careful of sniper guns. If you're not careful, you can lose your life."
"Why were they allowed to go suddenly?"
"Someone is playing tricks on me."
Seeing the little troublemaker gritting his teeth, Cheng Qiao suddenly thought of Liu Xiaojuan, whose face she had disfigured. It seemed that it was her man who did it, but she didn't care about such things.
When Cheng Qiao returned to the cave, she had just fished little Cheng Li out of the cave and put him on the kang when there was a knock on the door. Cheng Qiao knew it was Cheng Liguo as soon as she heard the knock:
"Dad, I'm back safely."
Seeing Cheng Qiao who was unharmed, Cheng Liguo smiled happily, but then he became worried again. He turned around and shouted to the side, and a handsome man came out.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
When Cheng Qiao saw that it was Zhao Hui, she was shocked. After Zhao Hui killed someone, there was no news from him anymore. Cheng Qiao thought she would never see him again.
"Cheng Qiao, after I left, I wanted to write you a letter, but I was worried about complications, so I held back."
Cheng Qiao nodded. This explanation made sense. If that was the case, she didn’t have to take it too seriously. After all, the other person was thinking about her.
Cheng Liguo frowned. He didn't understand why Zhao Hui said. Could it be that Zhao Hui was looking for Cheng Qiao? But now was not the time to ask these questions.
"Cheng Qiao, my father, your grandfather, wants to see you."
"See me, what do you want to see me for?"
Seeing Cheng Qiao's somewhat disgusted look, Zhao Hui lowered his head in embarrassment. When the old man drove Zhao Min out, he would never have thought that he would be thinking about Zhao Min's child at the last minute.
"Cheng Qiao, my father is dying, and he wants to see his only daughter's child. Please come with me."
"No, if he hadn't published an announcement in the newspaper that he was severing the father-daughter relationship with my mother, my mother wouldn't have died so early, and I wouldn't have suffered so much."
Cheng Qiao refused outright. She had no interest in, nor any obligation to be filial to, a man who would break off all ties with her if she didn't do what she wanted.
"Cheng Qiao, uncle begs you, the old man has regretted it. Since he learned of Zhao Min's death, he has aged more than ten years. I know he regrets it, but he can't say it out loud."
Zhao Hui fell to his knees in front of Cheng Qiao with a plop.
