Qiao Yunting and Qiao Yunxin went first
They left, but Qiao Yunqing was still sitting there, half of his face hidden in the dim light. Seeing this, Qiao Xin's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and she cheered up to deal with the next situation.
really!
Qiao Yunqing raised his head and looked straight at Qiao Xin, not giving her a chance to dodge: "Who are you? Where did she go?"
Qiao Xin looked relaxed, her brows relaxed, not at all flustered by being seen through. She even looked a little disgusted!
"Qiao Xin is the same age as your adoptive mother. Now I am her and she is me. If you ask me where she went, I don't know. This body belongs to your adoptive mother. I was dragged into this vortex by her for no apparent reason. But she left me with this mess without even saying a word."
【A wandering ghost?】
[As expected of someone who has read the books of sages. You are really imaginative, but I am not a wandering ghost, at most a spirit from another world.]
Seeing that he didn't completely believe her, Qiao Xin sneered: "Don't think I've gotten such a big advantage. At least I have no worries about food and clothing in my own country. I'm free and can go wherever I want."
But what do you have? Not only do you have nothing to eat and drink, but you also have three adopted sons and several grandchildren to support. I went from being a person who had everything I needed to being a lonely old woman. Would you be happy if it were you?
If you can find someone to help me get home, I will be very grateful. 】
Qiao Yunqing looked at her steadily, as if trying to judge whether what she said was true or false.
[Did he tell you more about our background? ]
[It only said that your family is in the capital, and that you are either rich or noble, nothing else.]
Qiao Xin originally thought that this guy was incompetent, but she didn't expect him to react like this.
[Is this why you drove us away?]
[Half and half, what I just said is from the bottom of my heart. Your mother and I have completely different personalities. After spending so much time together, you will find out sooner or later. Look, you have already found out in less than a day! ]
There were only a few options before them: they could continue to cooperate and play the role of loving mother and filial son, or they could go their separate ways. Another option was to burn her to death as a demon.
Qiao Yunqing pursed her lips tightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.
The person in front of him clearly looked exactly like his adoptive mother, but the look in his eyes and eyebrows was confident and frank, and he was calm and composed. He definitely didn't think they were the same person.
The adoptive mother had already been worn out by the misery of life, which was why she went crazy after grabbing a life-saving straw.
Qiao Yunqing thought again of her defense of Sanniang during lunch. Someone who could do such a thing couldn't be that bad. Perhaps trying to cooperate was the best option.
Now that he had figured it out, he picked up thirty taels of silver and pushed the rest over, "Mother, I'd better ask you to keep these things. This family still depends on you to support it."
Qiao Xin curved her eyebrows and said, "Okay!"
..........
The next morning, the three Qiao Yunxin brothers rushed to the town before dawn.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, Qiao Xin couldn't sit still. His mouth was full of greasy words. He had to improve the food today. He turned his eyes to the mountain behind the house. He went into the house to get a bow and arrow and put on a bamboo basket, planning to go up the mountain to take a look.
This 40-stone wooden bow was originally a relic of the original body's father. It has been sealed up since the old man passed away. Although the original body can do some boxing and kicking, he has only learned the basics of hunting techniques. At most, he can dig a trap and set a trap for rabbits. There is no way to shoot a bow and arrow. Qiao Yunxin, who has inherited half of the old man's true teachings, was ordered by her not to go up the mountain. The family's most profitable job is gone, so life is getting more and more difficult.
Xu stared in amazement at her mother-in-law playing with the bow and arrow as if it were a toy. "Mom, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to the back mountain to take a look! I may not be back at noon, so just let the boss know when they come back."
After saying that, the man disappeared out the door!
.........
Xiaoyao Village is built in a small river valley with a small river running through the village. The village is flat in the middle and surrounded by gentle slopes, with scattered mountainous lands cleared by the villagers. High mountains and dense forests stand around it, forming a natural barrier.
It is not easy for outsiders to come in, and it is also difficult for people inside to go out.
Qiao Xin and her daughter chose this place because of the special terrain. If there is any emergency, they can hide in the mountains and it will be difficult to find people.
However, the farmland here is scarce and every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The land is barren and produces even less. The people live in extreme poverty and basically live in isolation from the outside world. Even in Jing'an Town, it is in a remote area that cannot be more remote.
Qiao Xin walked upstream along the river bank, came to the mouth of a valley, followed a small path, turned around and entered the mountain.
After wandering in the mountains for many years, finding food has become Qiao Xin's instinct. In her eyes, the vast forest in front of her is a natural granary.
In autumn, wild animals are at their fattest to gain weight for the winter. However, she overestimated her current physical condition. She had only walked into the mountains for ten minutes when her legs began to lose control. She trembled with every step, and her vision went dark. She could fall down at any time.
Qiao Xin was startled and quickly found a big tree to rest against. She closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. Her stomach was sour and her heart was burning. The bowl of rice porridge she had in the morning had been digested without a trace. Her brain was almost unable to think. Looking at the yellow leaves above her head, she had the urge to pull them off and eat them.
She supported herself on the ground with her palms, but was bumped. She subconsciously grabbed it and found that it was a fallen wild chestnut.
She took out the kernels, threw one into her mouth at random, and swallowed it after a few smacks.
