Qin Xiaoxiao was reborn after transmigrating for only one year, but during that year she felt the selfless love and care of the Qin family. Even the youngest, Qin Yue, was willing to serve her. Therefore, Qin Xiaoxiao sincerely accepted the Qin family and regarded them as her most important family members.
Therefore, upon hearing Qin Yue's scream, Qin Xiaoxin tensed up and immediately increased her speed.
No matter how fast she ran, her scream was only a short one, and she could only make out the general location. Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know exactly where the person was. So after the sound stopped, Qin Xiaoxiao ran forward for a while and then stopped, shouting Qin Yue's name.
After a moment, Qin Yue's trembling voice came. Qin Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and ran to the right. Before she could find the person, she smelled a strong stench of blood.
Qin Xiaoxin felt a chill run down her spine, and the murderous intent in her eyes was almost uncontrollable. She cursed the murderer in her heart for being inhuman. Didn't he even clean up the scene after killing someone? What if he scared the child?
Those who have come from the apocalypse can easily smell the blood. Animal blood smells more foul than human blood, which is sweeter. People who haven't smelled it for a long time can hardly tell the difference.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't slow down; instead, she sped up. She could already imagine the scene Qin Yue was facing. It was likely that Qin Yue would have a hard time getting over it in the short term.
As expected, when Qin Xiaoxiao saw Qin Yue standing motionless at the gate of the courtyard, and the scene in the courtyard in front of her, Qin Xiaoxiao thought to herself that the thing she was most worried about had still happened.
Without even looking at the scene in the courtyard, Qin Xiaoxiao darted to Qin Yue's side, covered Qin Yue's eyes with one hand, and hugged her tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Qin Xiaoxiao's gentle voice rang in Qin Yue's ears, and Qin Yue instantly came back to her senses. When she smelled Qin Xiaoxiao's unique jasmine fragrance and felt her warm embrace, Qin Yue relaxed completely and slumped into Qin Xiaoxiao's arms.
"sister."
Clutching Qin Xiaoxiao's clothes tightly with both hands, Qin Yue couldn't help but cry out.
Qin Xiaoxiao gently patted Qin Yue's back, "It's okay, I'm here, I'm here, I won't leave, be good, listen to me, I'll take you home."
Pressing Qin Yue's head onto her shoulder, burying her face in her neck, Qin Xiaoxiao glanced indifferently at the blood-stained courtyard and the several people lying in pools of blood, then took three big steps back with Qin Yue in her arms, before turning and walking towards the Qin family home.
The villagers who had been running behind Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at this time. Seeing this, they made a path for Qin Xiaoxiao so that she could quickly leave with Qin Yue.
After the two left, as expected, screams and whispers came from behind them. Qin Xiaoxiao ignored them and quickened her pace to leave with Qin Yue.
Soon Qin Xiaoxiao took Qin Yue back to the Qin family home. Only the two elders of the Qin family were home. Ma Dahua had gone to work that day and was not at home.
Grandma Qin looked at the two sisters, Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yue, with surprise. "What happened? Why are you back at this time?"
Qin Aiguo noticed that Qin Yue's condition was not right and frowned slightly. "Something happened?"
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't have time to answer the two old people's questions. She just nodded slightly and pulled Qin Yue into the main room first.
Grandma Qin and Qin Aiguo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with seriousness, and then followed them into the house.
Qin Yue shivered all over after entering the room. Without saying a word, Qin Xiaoxiao pulled the old lady's quilt out of the kang (a heated brick bed) and covered Qin Yue's upper body with it. Then she hugged her and sat on the kang without moving, whispering in her ear over and over again.
"I'm here, don't be afraid. I'm so powerful, no one dares to hurt Yueyue. I'll kill any bad guys who come, one by one, two by two. If anyone dares to touch Yueyue, I'll fight them to the death."
Don't be afraid, Yueyue. I'm right here with you. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay with you.
Yueyue, be good, Yueyue, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...
When Grandma Qin entered the house and saw this scene, she immediately knew that Qin Yue had probably seen something terrifying, so she quickly turned around and ran outside.
Soon, the sound of Old Mrs. Qin calling for the soul could be heard outside.
"Yueyue, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's go home for dinner with Grandma. Yueyue, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's go home for dinner with Grandma..."
After calling her name more than ten times, strangely enough, Qin Yue stopped trembling, and her eyes gradually returned to normal, allowing her to look Qin Xiaoxiao in the eye again.
"Yueyue?"
Qin Xiaoxiao cautiously called Qin Yue's name, and Qin Yue suddenly smiled at Qin Xiaoxiao, but the smile was ugly.
"Sis, I'm okay now."
That's what she said, but Qin Yue was clearly still scared, because she was still trembling from time to time, just not as frequently.
"Yueyue, don't scare yourself. I'm here, and Grandpa and Grandma are here too. With us here, no one would dare to hurt you."
At this point, Qin Yue sniffled and suddenly burst into a wail.
Qin Yue's crying actually relieved Qin Xiaoxiao, Old Mrs. Qin, and Qin Aiguo.
It's not that I'm afraid she'll cry, it's that I'm afraid she won't be able to cry. If she cries, it means she's okay. As long as I keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't get a fever in the middle of the night, she's fine. But if she can't cry, that's a big problem. She might be ruined, or even die.
Qin Yue cried and wailed for half an hour, then collapsed into Qin Xiaoxiao's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, and soon closed her eyes.
Qin Xiaoxiao gently patted her back to help her relax and hopefully get some sleep.
Qin Xiaoxiao's wish was soon fulfilled. Qin Yue cried herself to sleep, but she didn't sleep soundly. She kept sobbing and occasionally kicked her legs and jolted awake.
Qin Xiaoxiao kept patting Qin Yue's back until Qin Yue gradually relaxed and fell into a deep sleep before she stopped.
Qin Xiaoxiao gave Qin Aiguo and Old Lady Qin a wink, and the three of them tiptoed out of the main house. Just then, Qin Ye, Su Yun, and Ma Dahua hurriedly entered the courtyard. They were about to speak when Qin Xiaoxiao stopped them.
He gestured for everyone to go to Qin Ye's room to talk, and everyone followed.
Upon entering the room, Qin Xiaoxiao first let out a long breath, then asked Su Yun to pour her a glass of water.
"I was so thirsty, I almost couldn't breathe."
Ma Dahua slapped Qin Xiaoxiao lightly, "Stop being so serious, hurry up and tell me, what happened? Xiaoyue, she..."
Grandma Qin waved her hand and replied on behalf of Qin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoyue is fine for now. Call her a couple more times tonight and put a pair of scissors under her pillow, and she'll be fine. I'm afraid it might happen every day. Let's see. I'll talk to her later. As long as Xiaoyue opens up her mind, she'll be alright."
Ma Dahua frowned. "I heard that our Xiaoyue saw the tragic state of the Li family. I'm afraid she'll have nightmares tonight."
Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't had a chance to explain what had happened after she returned. When Grandma Qin and Qin Aiguo first heard that something had happened to the Li family, they exchanged a glance and sighed in unison. (End of Chapter)
