Chapter 21 Don't Take It Off
Chu Qiao didn't have time to look at the mission reward because a middle-aged man was limping towards him.
Is this the village chief that the big brother just mentioned?
The eldest sister grinned to her ears and waved to the village chief: "The one in front is our village chief. The village chief is the wisest person in our village. We are relieved to leave you to her."
Chu Qiao nodded.
As he spoke, perhaps because he saw the village chief, the eldest brother became tough and pointed the harpoon at Chu Qiao's shoulder without any hesitation.
"Go forward."
Chu Qiao had never been treated like this when she was on Mars. She was the one who beat the new recruits with a belt.
Although the contrast was a bit big, Chu Qiao didn't say much and endured it as long as he could, considering that the other party had saved him.
"Mr. Chu's face turned green."
"Master Chu is a ruthless man who can withstand the storm. Now he is brave enough."
"Big brother, please be more polite when speaking to our Master Chu."
…
Chu Qiao adapted to the softness of the beach and walked towards the village chief in two steps.
The village chief was probably an old man in his 60s with three deep frowns on his forehead. Although he had a slight limp, he held his head high and chest out, looking quite elegant.
The village chief said nothing, but looked at the buzzing drone beside him with a serious expression.
Chu Qiao quickly turned off the live broadcast.
"Uncle Village Chief, this is a drone. It's used for taking pictures. It's not a weapon."
The village chief did not respond, his expression still cold as he looked her up and down. When his eyes caught sight of Chu Qiao's disheveled clothes and the scars on his hands, his gaze softened.
"Daughter, where are you from and what's your name?" the village chief said in a pure... incomprehensible accent.
Chu Qiao's eyes widened and the muscles on his face twitched. What was he saying?
She looked at the older sister next to her as if asking for help.
"What did the village chief say?"
The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Here we call little girls daughters. The village chief asked where you are from and what your name is?"
Chu Qiao nodded and answered seriously: "I am a crew member of a passenger ship. The ship was wrecked. I was lucky enough to survive."
The village chief touched his almost bald head, pouted and nodded: "My daughter has suffered."
Chu Qiao understood this sentence.
"If you are lucky enough to survive a maritime disaster, you are lucky."
The village chief waved his hand to the eldest brother and said, "Okay, I'll take this daughter away first. You two go and collect the nets quickly."
The eldest brother suddenly blocked the way of the village chief and Chu Qiao.
He whispered in the village chief's ear: "There's something strange about this woman. Look at the bird next to her. This kind of bird has been raised by villagers before, but it's so stupid and doesn't recognize its owner. And that weird machine, it's buzzing and scary."
The village chief glanced at Dabai, the wrinkles on his face remained motionless and expressionless.
"I know what's going on. Go ahead."
Chu Qiao pretended not to hear and followed the village chief. Dabai took small steps like a penguin.
Chu Qiao carefully observed the surrounding environment. This island was not small. Every household had a large yard and the houses were built very low.
At this time, the lights in most rooms in the village were off, and occasionally there were the sounds of dogs barking and men shouting impatiently.
Chu Qiao: "Village Chief, where are we going?"
Village chief: "My home."
Chu Qiao didn't understand the local customs and practices, so he followed slowly.
Arriving at a simple brick house deep in the island, the village chief stopped and pushed open the two wooden doors.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a woman's voice.
"Old man, are you back?"
The village chief roared, "Chunhuaer, come out."
I saw an auntie wearing a red flowered jacket coming out.
"I was wondering what you were doing out there. Turns out you brought back a daughter. She's pretty, and you're bringing her back to marry Dalin."
The village chief snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, not everyone can give it..."
The aunt in the red cloth jacket immediately stopped talking.
The village chief opened the west room. A blackened stone kang took up most of the room, piled high with miscellaneous items. He pushed the items aside and said, "Daughter, please go in. You can stay here for the night. You, a little bird, are not allowed to enter the house."
As he spoke, he drove Dabai towards the chicken coop. Dabai was very stubborn and disdained to stay with the chickens. He ran back to the door of the west room and stood guard over Chu Qiao, not moving.
"Village Chief, just leave it here. It's very well behaved."
The village chief nodded helplessly and asked the aunt to bring a quilt.
Chu Qiao opened it, and a damp smell hit her nose. She frowned slightly, but didn't complain.
Chu Qiao turned on the live broadcast again, reported to everyone that he was safe, and lay down with his clothes on.
"drop--"
System: "Host, please collect the mission reward as soon as possible."
An oval button suddenly flashed in Chu Qiao's mind, with the words "Level 1 Mission Reward" written on it.
Chu Qiao opened the gift package with his consciousness.
A big pig-shaped piggy bank appeared in my mind, with four big golden words flashing: 20,000 gold coins.
System: "Accept and give up."
Chu Qiao chose to accept it with his mind, and the piggy bank shattered, emitting a golden light, and the balance of gold coins in the system's gold coin column became 20,000.
After a few seconds, a set of military green outdoor clothes appeared in Chu Qiao's mind.
System: "Accept and give up"
Chu Qiao rolled his eyes. Who designed this system? Only a fool would give up.
In an instant, a black nylon bag appeared behind the quilt on the earthen kang.
Chu Qiao took out his bag and pulled out a set of clothes from it.
Netizens in the live broadcast room thought it was a gift from the aunt and praised it continuously.
"This auntie looks dull, but she's a nice person."
"Yes, Auntie's favorability +1."
"Look at this clothing, it's professional for outdoor use, right?"
"This lady doesn't look wealthy. How can she afford such expensive outdoor clothing?"
"Master Chu, let's leave immediately. There's something wrong with this place."
…
Chu Qiao couldn't explain, so he could only perfunctorily say, "Not really. If she had bad intentions, she wouldn't have given out such a good thing. Maybe she has some wealthy relatives."
Chu Qiao looked down at his clothes. There was a piece of cloth missing here and a hole there.
She picked up her top, a streamlined mountain jacket. She couldn't help but nod, it was wear-resistant and quick-drying.
The pants are made of nylon fabric, which is highly wear-resistant and windproof. The pants are designed with a total of 9 pockets, 2 of which are zippered pockets, which can store a large number of personal items and some protective tools.
I can finally throw away clothes full of holes.
Chu Qiao became excited and began to unbutton his uniform.
Her swollen fingers reached up to the yellowed shirt collar and unbuttoned it.
One, two... When she unbuttoned the third one, Chu Qiao revealed a large area of snow-white skin under her collarbone. The skin that had not been attacked by the sun was tender and white. As the collar fell, her beautiful right-angled shoulders were exposed to the air.
"Oh my god, I saw the host taking off his clothes as soon as I came in."
"Have I entered a pornographic live broadcast room?"
"I want to report it."
"What are you reporting? With such great benefits, why don't you open your eyes?"
"Master Chu, Master Chu, wake up."
"Master Chu, this is a live broadcast, don't take it off."
