"Auntie, whatever happens. All of us in the Joe family are as sad as you are. Could you please tell us more about the whole thing at the conference? If the disappearance of my uncle has anything to do with any family or surname, our Qiao family will definitely be investigated to the end! Don't worry, now that you are home, we are all here!"

Exhausted Aunt Qiao came home last night, and after Gao Li left, she quickly fell asleep under the care of Qiao Xin and He Yue. Qiao Liangyan and many others quickly rushed to their bedroom, and the young children of the Qiao family surrounded the bedroom. Qiao Xin and Heyue were both at a loss for what to do with the situation in front of them. Just when Qiao Liangyan felt helpless, Aunt Qiao's dream words made nearly ten Qiao family children explode.

"Her father... Are you still there... You're going home... Without you, what will Xin'er do, how can I live ......"

Qiao Xin's face turned pale, and everyone understood the meaning of her dream words, the third uncle of the Qiao family, the reason why he didn't come back with Aunt Qiao, it seemed that he had disappeared on the East China Sea Islands, and he didn't know life and death!

Qiao Xin cried and fell into Heyue's arms. After hearing this terrifying news, most of the rest of the disciples left silently, with very solemn expressions. Only Qiao Yin and Qiao Liangyan remained. After all, Qiao Lingyan's murder happened not long ago, and the third uncle and third uncle, I'm afraid it's gone!

When He Yue saw Qiao Xin like this, she also felt a sour nose. whispered to comfort her, and set her eyes on Qiao Liangyan. Qiao Liangyan's face was heavy and gloomy like never before. He didn't care about the two women in the room who both wanted him to find a way, pondered for a moment, threw down the sentence, "Tomorrow at noon, the family meeting!" and left the bedroom quickly.

Qiao Xin sobbed, her voice getting quieter and quieter, but the tears kept flowing. He Yue tried to calm her down like a child, but Qiao Xin just kept crying. After a while, Qiao Yin asked her to go back to rest and take care of Qiao Xin by herself. But this time He Yue shook her head vigorously and insisted on staying with her. After cultivating, his body and spirit were much better, so He Yue didn't close his eyes to rest until Qiao Xin was tired of lying down next to her mother and fell asleep.

And at this Qiao family conference, Qiao Liangyan also invited her to participate in it. At this time, He Yue, who was sitting next to Qiao Xin, who was pale, was gently held by Qiao Xin with her right hand, and the corners of her eyes were still very red. There are a few, but all the young children in Qiao's Mansion have gathered here, and they are all looking at Aunt Qiao in the middle of the seats on both sides.

After a night's time, Aunt Qiao was also a lot more sober. Her voice was so calm that she seemed to have grieved so much that she had forgotten what grief was. "Good words, and everyone, thank you... But the cause of the whole thing is not what you think. And those who put us in this situation are all dead. In other words, it was because of their bizarre deaths that everything that happened afterwards came to ......"

Then, starting with boarding a ship on the island and preparing to leave, she gave a general account of what had happened.

Before arriving, Qiao Liangyan told He Yue the specific details of Qiao Xin's parents being ordered to go to the island to do business. Therefore, as Aunt Qiao gradually recounted the incredible experience of the past month, He Yue was probably able to sort out the cause and effect of this bizarre event.

The great mystery seems to have descended on this Qiao Mansion, as well as the anger of the Qiao family's children and their sympathy for Qiao Xin's parents.

A few months ago, Qiao Xin's parents were ordered to go to an island called Homecoming Island on the edge of the archipelago in the East China Sea to do a very important business. The reason for the incident was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qiao Shifan had corresponded earlier, inadvertently mentioning His Majesty's seventy-second birthday. Many years ago, a Taoist priest who claimed to be from another continent entered the palace and had a very pleasant conversation with His Majesty, which was deeply pleasing to His Majesty. Before leaving, tell Your Majesty that there will be three great changes in his later years, which will occur at the age of seventy-two, seventy-three, and seventy-four.

His Majesty believed his words very much, but after all, it was more than twenty years ago, and His Majesty didn't take it too seriously. This rumor is known only to the people in the palace. But recently, the old emperor has been abused, and his condition is getting worse day by day. The old man also became more and more uneasy, and his seventy-second birthday was not far away. Several favored princes and concubines wanted to take this opportunity to hold a big banquet for him and pray for His Majesty, hoping that the words of the Taoist priest would be a good thing, and by the way, please him.

Although on the surface, the old emperor adhered to the mentality that the heavens could not be revealed, and this birthday was held according to normal. But no one in the know wants to let go of this opportunity to curry favor with His Majesty. The emperor's birthday is in February of the following year, and the crown prince has been thinking about it for a long time. I hope to get some treasures at the birthday party, please His Majesty, and further consolidate my position.

Qiao Shifan, who was as careful as a needle, understood that the prince had handed over this matter to their Qiao Mansion. Recently, I came across a rumor that a magical gem has been mined on the edge of the East China Sea archipelago, and mortals are all moved to see it, and there are local rituals to pray for each gem, which is a unique treasure for the old emperor who loves luxury. Qiao Shifan discussed with the crown prince that he would go to sea with a batch of Qinshan Country specialties and a large amount of money, and leave it to Qiao Xin's parents to be responsible for going to Guixiang Island to do business. For the sake of secrecy, only two people were sent.

Sure enough, they were the first people in Qinshan Kingdom to make this deal. The island is remote and rarely visited by caravans on land. The business on the island has not been bad in the past few months, the local residents are simple, and the whole business is very cost-effective. The gemstone is as it is rumored, and it seems to have a breathtaking charm of its own. The two of them stayed on the island for a while, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to go home a month ago.

Due to the remoteness of the island, there are not many merchant ships departing from the island. At this time, a fleet of ships that were about to sail to other islands arrived, and there were not many passengers with them, less than ten people, so they loaded the cargo and prepared to go home.

"The two of us only found out after being on the island for a while. Residents told us that because the island is on the edge of the East China Sea, further east, you will reach another continent. At the easternmost tip of the island, there is a bridge that has been left by the sea people thousands of years ago. It's very long. After crossing this bridge, you will arrive at the only isolated island between the two continents, the island of Forgotten Homeland. ”

But the day before leaving, the letter to Qiaofu had also been sent through the messenger seagull. The sailors on the merchant ship of the Homecoming Island suddenly told them the news that there were seafarers from the island who had crossed the bridge to the island last night. Visitors to Forgotten Island will need to borrow their boat for a trip to the mainland. The sailors said that no one of the people of the island could sail a boat, and there were many people who came, so they planned to sell these guests from afar a favor and let them take a few passengers back.

A few travelers could not object, and they were relieved by the folk customs of the residents of the homecoming island. Although the Qiao family and his wife repeatedly said that it was inappropriate, the minority still had to obey the majority, and the next day, these seafolk from the island of Forgotten Island took them out to sea and went home.

These people from Forgotten Island have very strange appearances, and all kinds of amulets are hung around their necks, but they are all extremely tall and have gentle and honest personalities, but if you ask him about the secrets of Forgotten Island, he will immediately remain silent.

The most peculiar thing is that these sea people on Forgotten Island sailed as if they had the help of the sea gods, and their speed soared several times along the way with a great strong wind. But such a thin merchant ship, under their maneuvering, rode the wind and waves, experienced several turbulences, and was completely unharmed in the hurricane at sea. Most of the travelers were residents from other islands, and in just a few days, the people of Forgotten Island sent one traveler after another home. At this time, only the couple were left on the ship.

And in total, only five days have passed. I have seen the landmark building on Amethyst Island, the Poseidon sculpture. This means that it is not far from its homeland, and at this rate, it will take a little more than a day at most.

Up and down in the lobby, the children of the Qiao family listened attentively. It seems like an adventure, a funny story. But looking at Aunt Qiao, who kept rubbing her hands in the middle, her expression at the moment was extremely bitter, and her eyebrows were wrinkled.

"This.... What happened next was unbelievable......"

After arriving near Amethyst Island, that night. First, they heard a loud sound of something falling outside in the cabin, and Uncle Qiao went out to check the situation, and found that the sailor's upper body standing at the door had become extremely pale. He seemed to be having trouble breathing, clutching at the railing to the side, followed by the sound of another falling to the ground. Aunt Qiao was very frightened, and went out to find her husband, and saw this scene.

The sailor began to foam at the mouth, unable to speak, his eyes were bloody, and his grip on the pole was loosened. He fell to the ground again, his hands flapping wildly. Uncle Qiao wanted to step forward to help him, but he couldn't drag his heavy body in the slightest. Aunt Joe ran out in fear to see that there were several sailors on the deck, who had also fallen to the ground like him, struggling frantically. Only the captain was still standing on deck, bewildered as his sailors became inexplicably ill. Then, in the bright moonlight, Aunt Joe could clearly see that the captain's thin shirt had been torn furiously by himself, and he fell to his knees heavily, and the muscles on his back were rapidly turning white at a visible rate!

At this moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky at great speed, fierce winds were blowing in all directions, dense showers were falling, and all the lights on the ship were extinguished. The moonlight was blocked by layers of dark clouds. The wind is getting stronger and stronger. Aunt Qiao glanced at the people of Forgotten Island who were rolling on the ground in a panic and fear, and hurriedly ran back to the cabin.

But she was unable to find her husband. Soon, there was an exclamation from outside, and a violent wind peaked with a shower. Uncle Qiao didn't know what he wanted to see outside, and was directly blown over by the strongest gust of wind. Aunt Jo was frightened, and ran out desperately against the wind—on the side of deck, the captain, who was already rotting, lay on the edge, his hand out, as if clutching something.

An ominous premonition enveloped her, and she rushed to Haimin's side, and saw him clutching her husband's hand, while Uncle Joe, because of the gust of wind just now, was directly overturned and dragged to the edge of the deck. Had it not been for the captain's last strength to catch him, he would have fallen.

When the man saw Aunt Qiao coming, he shook his head with difficulty, and Aunt Qiao immediately grabbed Uncle Qiao's hand with both hands, and watched the people around him swallow their last breath and not move. She cried out helplessly. She had already relied on all her strength and mind to hold on to her husband and prevent him from falling. But how could a woman's body pull him up in this raging storm!

"He... He immediately yelled at me, telling me to go back and leave him alone...... Because the next gust of wind is sure to be coming soon, he doesn't want me to bury him with me...... How could I let go? I just clung to it, but I couldn't think of anything about it.... Finally, after hearing the thunder, he... With his other hand, he pulled my hand away and said the last thing to me, telling me to hurry back to the cabin and live...... I just watched him fall. He's probably not going to live......" Aunt Qiao's eyes oozed tears, but she didn't cry hysterically. Qiao Xin, on the other hand, couldn't control it, her broken voice cried, and tears dripped uncontrollably. He Yue was on one side, Qiao Yin was on the other side, and they couldn't find words to comfort her, so they could only gently hold her hand.

It turned out that Qiao's father was not missing, so it seems that his fate is already doomed. Qiao Liangyan sighed, walked down with the expressions of the Qiao family children around him, and patted Qiao's mother on the shoulder.

But if at this time, the young people of the Qiao family were filled with grief, doubt, incomprehension, and shock, then what Aunt Qiao said next made this group of young and vigorous teenagers and girls feel angry at the same time!

I finally calmed down, but I wanted to continue to tell the painful story. Aunt Qiao gritted her teeth and continued to narrate slowly and expressionlessly. Qiao Liangyan stood beside her like this.

Aunt Joe fled back to the cabin and spent the stormy night in extremely complicated and painful feelings. The next day, she found herself far away from Amethyst Island. I don't know where I am, I don't have the ability to drive a boat, I'm alone, and I can't even go home. She could only let the wind slowly push the boat, though she didn't know what the purpose would be. Three days later, she saw land.

With great difficulty, I picked up my broken feelings, carried a small bag of gems, and walked down. When she learned where this was, her first reaction was that she was lucky in misfortune.

Because this is a city along the sea area of Baichun on the eastern border of Hakuzawa. It was early in the morning when she stepped out. The shore was deserted, and passing through a village, a well-wisher told her the address in a strange lingua franca—it belonged to the border city of Araharus.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that there was a big war between the two countries, and that the city was also a member of the border coalition. She didn't ask too much, picked up her only remaining bag, and walked towards Barren Spring City. Try to get a ride on a car with the few remaining silver coins and find your way home.

Fate made people, but unfortunately, when she used the currency of Qinshan Kingdom to ask the groom of a horse station, there happened to be a patrol nearby. They interrogated her, and Aunt Qiao, who had no knowledge of the war, naturally revealed her stuff and was escorted to the border frontline military camp between Huangchun City and Qinshan Kingdom as a spy.

What happened next in the barracks, she only said one sentence, but it made everyone's minds have a picture. Unquenchable anger ensued

- "The general who held me in custody said he hadn't touched a woman in months. ”
