Chapter 109 109 Deception
Qin Xiaoxiao also found a wire around her. One end of the wire was sharp and pointed upwards. It was not far from the stone, only a step away.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked up and gestured again, realizing that if she fell, no matter how she changed her posture in the air, she would eventually be pricked by a stone or wire.
Upon reaching this conclusion, Qin Xiaoxiao broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn it! This guy's deliberately trying to kill me!
Qin Xiaoxiao stomped her foot in annoyance and decisively squatted down to draw circles on the ground.
I can't beat you, so I'll curse you!
I refuse to believe it. All the gods and Buddhas in the heavens can't defeat you. If even one deity happens to pass by and can't stand it, and points out a finger to stop me, I'll be saved.
After arguing for a long time, Qin Xiaoxiao was still angry, and she was also afraid that if she fell down again one day, there would be no second Qin Ye by her side, and she would be doomed.
So Qin Xiaoxiao took out an axe from her spatial storage and started chiseling at the sharp part of the stone.
After quickly chiseling away the sharp edges of the stone, covering it with some weeds, and storing the wire in her spatial storage, Qin Xiaoxiao clapped her hands in satisfaction and slowly descended the mountain.
She's passed this hurdle. As long as she's careful when going up the mountain in the future, there shouldn't be any problems. Next, she needs to be careful near water and stay away from rivers to avoid dying.
After a good night's sleep, Qin Xiaoxiao applied medicine to her arm the next day, put on long-sleeved clothes to cover it, took out a few scallion pancakes from her space, poured a cup of malted milk powder into her military water bottle, and went to the Qin family with a small basket of pastries.
Grandma Qin woke up early in the morning and stood at the front door waiting for Qin Xiaoxiao. When Qin Xiaoxiao arrived, she subtly looked her up and down several times.
Grandma Qin noticed that Qin Xiaoxiao was wearing long sleeves and frowned. Before Qin Xiaoxiao could get closer, a medicinal smell wafted into Grandma Qin's nostrils.
Grandma Qin frowned even more deeply.
"Xiaoxiao, you're hurt."
It's not a question, but an affirmative statement.
Qin Xiaoxiao froze, then awkwardly touched her nose.
I should have known better than to apply the medicine; the old lady has a pretty good nose.
Grandma Qin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a stern face.
Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to use her charm, but seeing the old lady's expression, she immediately gave up the idea.
"Grandma, I didn't mean to. Yesterday, my brother and I encountered a poisonous snake on the mountain. When I was backing away, I accidentally fell and hurt my arm when I put my hand on the ground."
Thankfully, my brother was there and killed the snake quickly; otherwise, who knows what might have happened.
When Grandma Qin heard Qin Xiaoxiao say she had encountered a poisonous snake, she quickly stepped forward, pulled Qin Xiaoxiao along, and examined her again.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao was really alright, Grandma Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily you weren't bitten. How did you run into a venomous snake? There are rarely any venomous snakes in the front mountains. How did you manage to encounter one?"
Grandma Qin muttered to herself as she took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and led her into the house.
Just then, she saw Qin Ye washing up, and Grandma Qin immediately ran over, "Grandson, was that really a poisonous snake yesterday?"
Qin Ye had already overheard Qin Xiaoxiao's words in the courtyard. Seeing that she only told the first part and didn't say the rest, Qin Ye understood.
The younger sister was trying to distract her grandmother.
"Yeah, that's right. I told my dad last night to tell the villagers to be extra careful when they go up the mountain again."
There were some things he couldn't tell Grandma Qin, but Qin Ye wouldn't hide them from Qin Aiguo and Qin Feng. He told them what had happened when they came back last night.
They also agreed not to tell the truth to Old Mrs. Qin; it would be best if they could keep it a secret.
Because Qin Ye saved Qin Xiaoxiao, he received praise from Grandma Qin, and she specially gave him an extra scallion pancake for breakfast, which surprised Qin Ye so much that his eyes almost popped out.
Breakfast ended pleasantly thanks to Qin Xiaoxiao's efforts to create a lively atmosphere.
Qin Xiaoxiao followed Qin Aiguo, Qin Feng, and Qin Ye to work. Old Mrs. Qin prepared to boil some mung bean water for everyone to drink, while Ma Dahua planned to go back to her parents' home today.
Yesterday, my family sent a letter saying that my mother is ill and I need to go back to see her.
When Grandma Qin heard that her in-laws were sick, she quickly took out two cans of malted milk powder and a bag of dates for Ma Dahua to take with her, and also gave her ten yuan for future use.
Ma Dahua wasn't short of ten yuan, but she was very pleased with her mother-in-law's thoughtfulness. How many daughters-in-law get money from their mothers-in-law when they go back to their parents' home? She might not be the only one, but she was pretty much one of them.
When they arrived at the threshing ground next to the village committee, Qin Feng, with a stern face, looked at the huge crowd below and said loudly, "Stop! Old Zhao and his wife, keep your distance. If you want to get close, go home."
Old Xing's wife and Old Liu's wife, stop chatting! Your voices are too loud; they can be heard for miles around.
Aunt Zhao, take your hands off Uncle Zhao's ears, or they'll fall off.
Alright, everyone, quiet down and let me say a few words.
I believe everyone knows what happened on the mountain yesterday, but I'll repeat it again here, lest it offend my mouth and offend your ears.
The people of Qinjiagou have lived here for generations, and this is the first time such a terrible incident has occurred since records began.
A few years ago, when the educated youth first came to the countryside, there were rumors circulating. Today, a young man in the village helped a female educated youth; tomorrow, a girl in the village gave eggs to a male educated youth. There was a lot of gossip going on.
But thankfully, overall nothing major happened, oh right, except for what happened a few days ago.
At this point, Qin Feng glared at Miao Feifei and Lü Zhaodi behind the crowd.
Don't think I can't see you just because you're standing in the back. I've been watching you the whole time.
Miao Feifei and Lü Zhaodi also came with a heavy heart today. They originally wanted to stand at the back of the crowd so that fewer people would see them and not many people would notice them. But they never expected that Qin Feng would actually call them by name. Suddenly, the two of them received the attention of the whole village and could not hide even if they wanted to.
Miao Feifei lowered her head in annoyance and hid behind Lü Zhaodi.
Lu Zhaodi blushed, but she seemed to have truly repented and didn't seem to care that Qin Feng had brought up her embarrassing past. Instead, she took a step forward and said, "Since the brigade leader brought it up, I'll take this opportunity to say a few words here."
Everyone knows what happened a few days ago. This incident has had a negative impact on the village; it's my fault, I'm sorry everyone, I've brought shame to our village!
After speaking, Lü Zhaodi bowed to everyone.
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Lü Zhaodi in shock.
Was this girl reborn or possessed?
That doesn't seem right. If a modern person had traveled back in time or been reborn, wouldn't they have dealt with Miao Feifei after something like this happened? But she did nothing; instead, she seemed to have accepted the situation.
Has he really started cultivating immortality? Does he want to ascend to heaven after attaining enlightenment?
Just as Qin Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, Lü Zhaodi not only apologized to everyone, but also expressed her willingness to accept the village's punishment. From now on, she would work hard to carry manure and contribute to the brigade. She also asked the whole village to supervise her, and if she caused any more trouble, they would kick her out.
