"Look, they're gone!" Qiao Hong looked around for traces of strange ghosts with human faces: "I once read something similar in a book, there are Gan giants in the south, with long human faces and long arms, black bodies with hair, heels, laughing when they see people, and their lips cover their faces, because they run away, this kind of thing shouldn't be so docile!" ”

Qiao Hong couldn't understand why these Gan giants didn't attack their family, and they had to help them fight the Jiao family.

"Don't they like to eat children? Manic up like to attack people! Why didn't they beat us? Qiao Hong asked.

Xiao Qing listened, it seemed to be written in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and she also wanted to know, why did this spiritual monkey mandrill protect them, could it be that Ah Lan tamed them and asked him to protect them?

Ah Chao is not coming!

She doesn't want to think too much, this kind of scientific question is too complicated for a businessman, why do people live, Xiao Qing thinks that he has lived for two lives and hasn't figured it out, and he still thinks about a spiritual ferocious mandrill?

"They also caught so many dead things for us, let's pack them up and take them home!" Xiao Qing said.

Qiao Hong answered, helped Qiao Fang put the bamboo basket on his shoulder, and the three of them walked up the mountain together.

Xiao Qing took Qiao Fang's hand and climbed up the mountain, and when he touched her hand, he found that Qiao Fang's palms were full of cold sweat, and his palms were cold, but there was still no scared expression on his face.

"Don't be afraid, it's all gone!" Xiao Qing said comfortingly.

Qiao Fang looked at her stepmother in a panic and hummed silently.

The three of them escorted each other and walked up the mountainside, and when they left the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Qing also looked back at what had just happened.

She shouted to the bottom of the empty mountain, "Thank you!" ”

There was still no answer in the mountain, so she took Qiao Hong and Qiao Fang down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, Qiao Fang's hands finally had a temperature.

Xiao Qing asked with concern: "Scared you, right?" ”

Qiao Fang nodded again and again and asked, "It's a little scared, but you called them Huaface, and they actually stopped, do you know them?" ”

"Like you, this is the first time I've seen them, and I'm scared just now!" Xiao Qing smiled, as if comforting her: "I saw that their faces were flowery, like human faces, so I blurted out flower faces, but I didn't expect them to understand!" ”

After Qiao Hong was shocked, he also said in a panic: "Yes, if I guess correctly, these mandrills should be mandrills, they are very ferocious, I heard that they often eat children, and the tigers, leopards and jackals in the mountains are not their opponents, but they seem to be protecting us, which makes me wonder how to figure it out!" ”

Xiao Qing sighed, secretly begging in her heart, she couldn't figure it out, she couldn't feed every day, every day, they regarded her as the master!

She looked at Qiao Hong and said with relief: "I usually see that the humanities are weak, but I didn't expect that it would really be a critical moment, and I wasn't afraid, I didn't let you run over, why did you run over to block that punch for me?" ”

Thinking that when she was fighting with a few people, Qiao Hong came over to protect her with a tree branch, and she felt very moved in her heart.

Qiao Hong pursed his mouth: "Family, aren't you also protecting us!" ”

Xiao Qing smiled at the two.

The three of them walked home, Qiao Hong thought about the Jiao family brothers, and several other strong men who were so seriously injured, worried: "The people of the Jiao family don't know what the situation is, will they come to our family, I think they are not lightly injured!" ”

Qiao Fang lowered his head and pondered, "yes, they won't die, right?" ”

They were indeed not lightly injured, and there were two who escaped, and Jiao Li was forced to fall, so frightened that his soul was gone, and he didn't know the current situation.

However, whether they live or die, they are to blame.

Xiao Qing said indifferently: "They deserve it, let them not shout loudly, they don't listen, where are they going to rob our things, this time let them know how our family lives on the tip of the knife every day, don't think that any money is easy to earn!" ”

Qiao Hong didn't refute Xiao Qing's words, she was right, these people in the village are too much, they just want to rob in the blue sky, what is the difference between them and robbers?

Through this time, he also understood, it turned out that the stepmother was looking for food in the mountains, why didn't she let her family go, she was taking her life to find a way to live in the mountains, and the more people who went, the easier it was to have an accident.

The stepmother has really changed a lot, and she does not hesitate to risk her life for the sake of her family to have a stutter.

"Mother!" Qiao Hong couldn't help but exclaim: "I'll go home and see the people of the Jiao family!" ”

Xiao Qing was stunned, what did this kid call her?

She stared into Qiao Hong's eyes and deliberately asked, "What did you just call me?" I didn't hear you. ”

Qiao Hong looked at her gratefully, his eyes flashing: "Mother! Mother! ”

Xiao Qing listened to his refreshing mother, the corners of his mouth curled, he grinned, and nodded sweetly: "Okay, you can go to their house to see when you go home, but if you encounter any situation, don't speak, run back and tell your mother!" ”

How did she listen to this mother, it made her sweeter than the mother called by other people in the family, as if this mother carried the highest honor.

These children are also too innocent and are conquered like this?

She thought it would take ten days and half a month to call her mother.

Qiao Fang pursed her lips and smiled, like Gu Ju in the morning, she opened leisurely, she held Xiao Qing's arm: "Mother, let's go home quickly!" ”

Xiao Qing is happy again, Qiao Fang also called her?

Seeing that the attitude of the two towards himself had changed, Xiao Qing didn't know why, his eyes were wet, and he always felt that something had entered his eyes.

For these two mothers, she is willing to do anything, and she is happy to do anything!

"Okay, I'll go down the mountain with my son and my daughter!" Xiao Qing held Qiao Fang's hand and went home together.

Qiao Hong also straddled Xiao Qing's bamboo basket on his arm, lest she be too heavy and difficult to descend the mountain.

Xiao Qing helped him lift it together, and he lifted three of them alone, and his thin shoulders were crushed.

When he got home, Qiao Hong remembered that Qiao Fang's birthday would come in a few days.

"Mother, in a few days, Qiao Fang's birthday is coming, let's do something for her when our family arrives!"

Xiao Qing listened to Qiao Hong's words, and then remembered that Qiao Fang was fifteen years old, and this birthday had to be done in a big way, because it was her and the ceremony.

After finishing the ceremony, she is going to find her mother-in-law's house.

She remembered that Qiao Fang seemed to have said kiss to a family in the village when she was a child, and it was a joke at the time, I don't know if they still remember.

"Qiao Fang, your fifteenth birthday is coming, and then your mother will take you to the nunnery on Yao Mountain, and ask Mrs. Shi to give you a gift?" Xiao Qing asked.

Qiao Fang didn't want to be so grand: "Mother, let's be bland, I don't want to go!" ”

Xiao Qing smiled: "That mother is at home or in the village, and the county will find a prestigious person for you to hold a ceremony." ”

"Mother, why don't you have a meal with your family?" Qiao Fang said lightly.

Xiao Qing hummed, just according to her, don't do much, and the family will have a meal together.

"Qiao Fang, do you remember the family affair you ordered when you were a child?" Xiao Qing asked.
