Chapter 74 074 The Child is Lost
The female supporting character is in a terrible situation. She is a stumbling block on the female lead's road to success, and the male lead will definitely take action to eliminate her.
She's the female supporting character waiting for the male lead to eliminate her.
No, she doesn't even qualify as a supporting female character. She's not worthy of the male lead's attention. Huang Yuan, the supporting male character, is the one who can kill her, since she's just a passerby who only appears twice.
Huang Yuan is essentially finished and poses no threat to her, but the male lead hasn't appeared yet, so she still needs to be careful; her life is more important.
However, she wasn't afraid. If the male lead was truly hostile towards her, she could simply strike first and kill him.
Qin Xiaoxiao is no saint. After the apocalypse, even those who survived have blood on their hands. Who hasn't killed someone? Who can remain unscathed?
Qin Ye sensed it keenly, and as Qin Xiaoxiao released her coldness, he suddenly turned around to look at his younger sister.
Something's not right! How could his cousin have such a strong sense of coldness?
There was also a faint sense of murderous intent mixed in with the cold air.
Although the killing intent wasn't intense, it was undeniably present.
Qin Xiaoxiao's senses became even stronger. The moment Qin Ye turned around, she withdrew her murderous aura and looked at him with an innocent expression.
"Brother, you've had a tough time these past few days. It's all my fault. I can't do anything right. I've been here for over a month and I still can't adapt to life in the countryside."
Qin Xiaoxiao's murderous aura subsided quickly, and Qin Ye only sensed a trace of it before it vanished instantly. When he saw Qin Xiaoxiao's charming face and harmless smile, Qin Ye thought there was something wrong with his perception.
Qin Ye didn't think much of it and immediately replied, "What's the big deal? You're my sister, after all. When Uncle passed away, I swore that I would take good care of you and never let you suffer. I'm just fulfilling my promise."
Afraid of upsetting Qin Min and Qin Xiaoxiao, Qin Ye quickly comforted them, saying, "It's normal to feel uncomfortable. You grew up in the city, how could you possibly do rural work! Even those older educated youth who came here for years, they still can't do anything right!"
Don't rush things, you can't rush things, it will get better slowly.
Besides, you still have me, and all of us. We won't abandon you.
"If you can't do it, then don't. I've got your brother here."
Although he was helping his younger sister voluntarily, Qin Ye was still very pleased to receive a word of thanks from her. He felt that he hadn't helped Qin Xiaoxiao for nothing, and that his sister was very grateful.
The brother and sister were exchanging pleasantries when they heard someone talking ahead. They looked up and saw a young woman in a floral short-sleeved shirt talking to Qin Feng.
The two exchanged a glance, then quickly stepped forward and stood behind Qin Feng.
Qin Feng frowned deeply. "They disappeared this morning?"
The young woman looked away guiltily. "Is that so?"
Qin Feng frowned even more deeply. "It's either yes or no. What do you mean by 'yes'? When exactly did your child go missing? You, as a mother, don't even know when your child went missing?"
The young woman objected, "Captain, he has legs, he's not paralyzed. How would I know when he went off to play somewhere?"
Qin Feng was furious. "If you don't know, who does? Me? Yes, you're a stepmother, but a stepmother is still a mother. Since you've entered the Qin family, you've acknowledged Qin Gouzi as your son. You don't even care about your own son, yet you come to me?"
The young woman also got angry, "If I don't go to you, who else should I go to? You're the brigade leader, so you're the one who calls the shots in Qinjiagou. I'm a villager from Qinjiagou, so of course I have to come to you to solve this problem."
"I don't care, the child is missing, you have to help find him."
Qin Feng was amused and annoyed. "Fine, I'm the brigade leader, I'm the innocent victim, it's my duty. Whatever happens to the men, women, and children in the village, it's my business, and I have to take responsibility."
The young woman frowned as well, "You said those words, I didn't say anything, don't blame me for everything later."
Anyway, you know about this now, so you figure it out yourself. I'm not involved anymore.
After saying that, the young woman left without waiting for Qin Feng's reaction.
Qin Feng angrily pointed at the young woman's back for a long time without letting go, "Shrew."
Half a day had passed since everyone left, and Qin Feng finally managed to utter two words in anger.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Ye exchanged a glance. "Brother, that's not right. As far as I know, the children in our village are all quite sensible and would never run around. It's the time for work now, and school hasn't started yet. Where could the children go?"
"Hey bro, is the dog in school yet? How old is he?"
Qin Ye was also completely bewildered.
"I don't know. I've only been back for a year. There are so many people in the village, I haven't gotten to know them all yet."
This is the absolute truth; Qin Ye wasn't lying.
With over a thousand people in Qinjiagou, it's impossible to recognize everyone. Only Qin Feng, as the brigade leader, had to memorize and recognize all the villagers in order to do his job. Other young people like Qin Ye really couldn't recognize them all.
Qin Ye and Qin Xiaoxiao then looked at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng sighed, "Qin Gouzi is ten years old this year and has started school, but school hasn't started yet. All the other children his age in the village are working, and he's no exception."
You heard that? That woman is Qin Gouzi's stepmother. It's already a favor that she's willing to let him go to school. During the holidays, of course he has to work to earn work points to support himself.
It would be strange if he wasn't seen in the field at this time.
Qin Feng didn't dare to delay and hurried to the village office.
Qin Feng first assigned the tasks for the day, then dispatched several young and strong men to search the village first, and if they couldn't find it, they would go up the mountain to take a look.
We won't go to Cat Ear Mountain; we'll look for it in Cat's Ear Mountain.
They could earn work points without having to do any work, and especially since the children were from the village, everyone was very enthusiastic and willing to help.
Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't tasked with finding someone, so she took a folding stool to Aunt Liu's place, where the gossip squad's tea party continued.
After chatting all morning, summarizing three or four possible consequences for the Li family's future, and completing the sequel, Qin Xiaoxiao and the others finally got to work with satisfaction.
Qin Xiaoxiao was lucky today; the grass roots weren't too deep, so pulling them out went quite smoothly. In just one hour, she had pulled about ten meters.
Looking at her morning's achievements, Qin Xiaoxiao was full of pride and pride, and waved her hand, "This is my...my achievement today."
Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to say, "This is the empire I built," but considering that she would probably be in trouble if she said that in this special era, she timidly changed her words on the spot, which made Aunt Song laugh.
"As expected of a high school student, quite talented. Is this a poem? Little one can even write poetry?"
How can a single sentence be considered poetry?
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, "No, it was just a spontaneous remark. Auntie, it's almost noon, how much have you cooked?"
There weren't many weeds in the field, and Aunt Song worked quickly and efficiently, finishing almost half of the job in no time.
"Almost done, we can finish in a little while this afternoon."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, and even went to Aunt Song's field for a stroll. Then she sadly discovered that Aunt Song not only worked faster, but also worked better than her.
