Chapter 23: Vicious

At noon, Xi He and Xi Yan came to deliver food to Qiao Xuan.

"You're done with your business?" Qiao Xuan sat cross-legged on a big stone and asked in surprise when he saw the two of them coming.

"It's done!" Xi Yan put down the food box and took out the steaming food from it.

Xi He looked around, and it seemed that everyone was mainly pulling some gravel and loess this morning, and cutting down some roadside trees.

"Have you eaten yet?" Qiao Xuan asked, "If you haven't eaten, go back to eat!" ”

Xi Yan's eyes were slightly swollen, and she cried at first glance, but Qiao Xuan didn't ask much, so she could only pretend not to see it.

"We've eaten, you can eat it!" Xi Yan sat next to Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan was not polite, picked up the bowl and pulled a few mouthfuls of food, not to mention, after a busy morning, she had a dry throat, a hungry stomach, and was a little tired.

"The old lady died last night," Xi He said in a low voice.

Qiao Xuan, who was picking up the dishes, had a meal, and if her talisman really reached the old lady's hand, the old lady should be able to spend last night safely.

"That dog official doesn't seem to be very filial!" Qiao Xuan said sarcastically, "The two talismans are their own, tsk!" ”

Xi Yan was in a fog listening from the sidelines, but she probably guessed who they were talking about.

"I heard that the daughter of the county order fell into the water after we left yesterday, and after being rescued, she shouted that there was a ghost, but this matter was suppressed by the county order," Xi He said again.

Qiao Xuan raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Your classmate is still well-informed, so we can come and go more in the future." ”

"Hmm" When he heard Qiao Xuan say 'let', Xi He's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

After being silent for a moment, Xi Yan said thoughtfully: "When we came over, we found that someone from Taoyuan Village was secretly looking over this side of the road. ”

"It always feels like they don't hold back any good fart!"

Qiao Xuan finished eating the last grain of rice before he said slowly: "If they don't do something, they won't look like people from Taoyuan Village!" ”

To be honest, she was afraid that they would not come, and the child would be a demon quietly, and she was always ready.

After eating, Xi Yan went back, and Xi He stayed behind to help.

While everyone was sweating like rain, Xu Gui, the village chief of Qingfeng Village, came panting.

"Village Chief Qiao, Village Chief Qiao," he shouted as he ran.

The people who were originally working couldn't help but look at him, and several people in Taoyuan Village who knew Xu Gui pricked up their ears, trying to capture some little secrets that others didn't know.

Qiao Xuan stuck the shovel on the ground and looked up at Xu Gui who was running over, isn't it the time to be busy this time! How did he have time?

When Xu Gui got closer, she was relieved to see his face.

"Village Chief Qiao, I-" Xu Gui was just about to speak when he noticed several glances around him, he quickly closed his mouth and gave Qiao Xuan a look for help.

"Borrow a step to speak!"

Qiao Xuan pointed to the small fork in the road on the other side where there was no one.

Xi He frowned imperceptibly, and looked at the person who came.

"You help me keep an eye on it for a while, I'll come when I go" When Qiao Xuan turned his head, he saw Xi He's gaze falling on Xu Gui.

A light smile appeared on her lips, and she introduced softly: "This is Village Chief Xu of Qingfeng Village next door. ”

Xi He bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

The anxious Xu Gui didn't have any extra attention to share it with people who didn't matter to him, and grinned perfunctorily.

"Miss Qiao, something happened to my little treasure!" As soon as he left the sight of others, Xu Gui choked up and said.

"Overboard? The rune paper was lost? Qiao Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked in a calm voice.

She had kindly reminded her, but she still didn't dodge, which only showed that the child was destined to suffer this catastrophe.

Xu Gui nodded vigorously and said angrily: "It's all my mother-in-law, I gave the talisman to Xiaobao with me, and she threw it away when she saw it, not to say that I was deceived." ”

Qiao Xuan is accustomed to this, some people believe these and some people don't, she has often been regarded as a liar by others before.

"Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Bao Niang went to the river to wash clothes, Xiao Bao followed, and accidentally slipped under her feet and fell into the river.

The child has been asleep since he was rescued, and the doctor said that he found it in time and said that there was nothing wrong, but until now the child has not woken up. ”

Xu Gui pursed the corners of his dry mouth, and looked at Qiao Xuan with hope in his eyes, "Qiao girl, do you have any way to save my family Bao'er?" ”

"Why didn't yesterday's events come to me now?" Qiao Xuan touched his forehead and walked in the direction of Qingfeng Village as he spoke.

Xu Gui hurriedly followed and stammered: "I thought it would be fine after listening to the doctor's words, but what did I expect——"

The most important thing is that most of the family members didn't believe what Qiao Xuan said, and felt that Qiao Xuan was a liar, so they stopped him from coming to Qiao Xuan.

"I went with Village Chief Xu to take a look, but I can't guarantee that I can save it, it depends on the child's condition."

Qiao Xuan walked in front and didn't notice that Xu Gui's explanation was a little unnatural.

"Okay, okay, thank you, girl Qiao," Xu Gui said gratefully.

In Qingfeng Village, a small square courtyard came from time to time with whimpering cries.

"It's all you broom star! Hurt my grandchildren. ”

The woman dressed in a gray coarse cloth took a broom and slashed her head and face at the young woman kneeling in the courtyard.

"If you go to do the laundry, you will do the laundry, what are you doing with my little treasure?"

"Mother, don't fight, I really didn't mean to, Xiaobao has to follow!" The young woman explained in a whisper with tears of grief.

Her husband and her father-in-law have gone to repair the road, and she and her mother-in-law and Xiaobao are sleeping at home, no one can save her, she may be beaten to death by her mother-in-law today, she thought desperately.

"If my grandson has something long and short, you don't want to live, die!" The middle-aged woman cursed viciously.

When Qiao Xuan and Xu Gui arrived, what they saw was a chaotic scene.

Xu Gui's old face turned red, his daughter-in-law was beaten and her head was bleeding, and her daughter-in-law was scolding ugly words like a tigress, and her subordinates kept beating people.

The four or five chickens in the yard were all frightened and flew all over the yard, and the chicken feathers and were all over the place.

"Father-in-law, help! My mother-in-law wants to beat me to death! As soon as she saw Xu Gui, the kneeling woman hurriedly asked for help.

Xu Gui's brain is buzzing, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, so he has to make trouble at this time, and he is embarrassed by Qiao Xuan's old face.

Qiao Xuan pursed his lips and looked sympathetically at the woman with her head broken.

Why should women embarrass women, this Xu Gui's daughter-in-law is fierce and vicious, and she beats people like this.

"You didn't go to build a road, why did you come back again?" Xu Gui's daughter-in-law glanced at Xu Guihou and asked viciously, and her unkind eyes glanced at Qiao Xuan one by one.

Qiao Xuan looked at Xu Gui and looked at Xu Gui's daughter-in-law and understood, it turned out that Xu Gui's coming to him was purely his personal behavior, and his family didn't know it.
