Chapter 118, Mother!

"Look, they're gone!" Qiao Hong looked around for the ghost with a human face: "I read something similar in a book. There are Gan giants in the south, with human faces and long arms, black bodies with hair, and back-toed legs. , Smile and smile when you see people, cover your face with your lips, because you will run away, this kind of thing shouldn't be so docile!"

Qiao Hong couldn't figure out why these Gan giants didn't attack their family, but helped them beat Jiao's family.

"Don't they like to eat children? When they get mad, they like to attack people! Why don't they beat us?" Qiao Hong asked.

Listening to Xiao Qing, it seemed that it was written in "Shan Hai Jing". She also wanted to know why this kind of spiritual monkey mandrill wanted to protect them. Could it be that Ah Luan tamed them and asked him to protect them?

Ah Luan is gone!
She didn't think too much about it. This kind of scientific question was too complicated for a businessman. Why do people live? Xiao Qing thought that he had lived two lifetimes and hadn't figured it out yet, so he still wanted to think about a murderous mandrill with spirituality?

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

Qiao Hong responded, and helped Qiao Fang carry the bamboo basket on her shoulders, and the three of them walked up the mountain together.

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

"Don't be afraid, they're all leaving!" Xiao Qing said comfortingly.

Qiao Fang looked at her stepmother anxiously, and hummed silently.

The three of them protected each other and walked up the mountainside. When they left the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Qing looked back at what happened just now.

She turned towards the empty mountain bottom and shouted: "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 felt warm.

Xiao Qing asked with concern: "Did it scare you?"

Qiao Fang nodded repeatedly and asked, "I'm a little scared, but they stopped when you called them ugly. Do you know them?"

"Like you guys, this is the first time I've seen them, and I was quite frightened just now!" Xiao Qing smiled, as if comforting her: "I saw their faces were disfigured, like human faces, so I blurted out disfigured faces, I didn't expect them to understand!"

After Qiao Hong was shocked, he also panicked: "Yes, if I guessed correctly, these should be mandrills. They are very ferocious. I heard that they often eat children. Tigers, leopards, and wolves in the mountains are not their opponents, but they seem to be protecting them. Let's, this confuses me!"

Xiao Qing let out a long sigh, begging in her heart, she couldn't figure it out, she couldn't feed every day, every day, they regarded her as their master!
She looked at Qiao Hong, and said with relief, "Usually seeing the weak humanities, I didn't expect that at the critical moment, I'm not afraid. I didn't let you run over, why did you run over to block that punch for me?"

Thinking of Qiao Hong holding up a tree branch to protect her when she was fighting with several people, she felt very moved.

Qiao Hong pursed his lips: "My family, aren't you also protecting us!"

Xiao Qing smiled at the two of them.

The three of them were walking home. Qiao Hong thought about the serious injuries of the Jiao family brothers and the other strong men, and was worried: "The people of the Jiao family don't know what's going on, will they come to our house? Look how badly they are hurt!"

Qiao Fang lowered her head and pondered, "Yes, they won't die, right?"

They were indeed badly injured, and there were two others who escaped. Jiao Lizheng was overwhelmed and scared out of his wits, not knowing the current situation.

However, whether they live or die, it is their own fault.

Xiao Qing said indifferently: "They deserve it, let them stop yelling loudly, but don't listen, where else are they going to grab our things, this time let them know how our family lives on the tip of a knife every day, don't take it for granted It’s easy to earn money!”

Qiao Hong didn't refute Xiao Qing's words, she was right, these people in the village were too much, they just wanted to rob them in broad daylight, what's the difference between them and robbers?
Through this time, he also understood that the stepmother was looking for food in the deep mountains, why she didn't let her family go, she was risking her life to find a way out in the deep mountains, the more people went, the more accidents would happen.

The stepmother really changed a lot, and she would risk her life for the family to have a stutter.

"Mom!" Qiao Hong couldn't help shouting, "I'll go see the Jiao family when I get home!"

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

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

Qiao Hong looked at her gratefully, with sparkling eyes: "Mother! Mother!"

Hearing his cheerful "Mother", Xiao Qing curled up the corners of his mouth, grinned, and nodded sweetly: "Okay, you can go to their house after you get home, but if you encounter any situation, don't talk, Run back and tell your mother!"

How could she listen to the call of mother, which made her more sweet than the call of mother by other people in the family, as if the call of mother carried the highest honor.

These children are too simple to be conquered like this?
She thought it would take ten days and a half months before she could call her mother.

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

Xiao Qing was overjoyed again, did Qiao Fang call her too?

Seeing that the attitudes of the two of them towards him had changed, Xiao Qing didn't know why, his eyes got wet, and he always felt that something had entered his eyes.

For these two mothers, she is willing to do anything, happy to do anything!
"Okay, I will go down the mountain and go home 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, so that she would not be too heavy to go down the mountain.

Xiao Qing helped him lift them together, he lifted three by himself, and his thin shoulders were crushed.

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

"Mother, in a few days, Qiao Fang's birthday will be here. Let's make fun for her when the time comes!"

Listening to Qiao Hong's words, Xiao Qing remembered that Qiao Fang was 15 years old, and this birthday had to be celebrated, because it was her birthday.

After finishing the ceremony, she will go to her husband's house.

She remembered that when Qiao Fang was young, she seemed to have kissed someone in the village. It was a joke at the time, and she didn't know if she remembered it.

"Qiao Fang, your 15th birthday is coming soon. When the time comes, my mother will take you to the nunnery on Yaoshan Mountain, and ask the teacher to give you a gift?" Xiao Qing asked.

Qiao Fang didn't want to be so grand: "Mom, be plain, 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 wedding ceremony for you."

"Mom, how about having a meal with the family?" Qiao Fang said lightly.

Xiao Qing hummed, and just obeyed her, it's not a big deal, the family will have a meal together.

"Qiao Fang, do you still remember the marriage we made when we were young?" Xiao Qing asked.
