"Kunzi." Qiao Xu didn't want the conflict to escalate, especially since they had his younger sister with them. If they really fought, it would definitely scare his sister, so he called out to Qiao Kun.
Qiao Kun pursed his lips and lowered his sleeves.
Qiao Xu then turned to the others and explained, "We didn't hide it from you and caught it secretly. We were just resting there when we suddenly saw a rabbit run out and that's when we noticed it."
He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "We're all good brothers, we share good fortune together. You came with us, and when we get out, we'll give each of you one."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they were overjoyed.
They even volunteered to help the Qiao brothers carry rabbits and bamboo baskets.
Seeing that her brothers were about to go back, Qiao Qiao quickly whispered in Qiao Jing's ear, "Brother, there are still eggs."
As she said this, the little bubbles on her forehead popped up again.
The Qiao brothers noticed and all looked over.
The others were startled by their synchronized movements and looked in the direction they were looking.
But I didn't see anything.
Hmm—
Perhaps it's not that there's nothing at all.
The exceptionally cute and pretty little girl was wearing a sun hat, and on top of the sun hat was a little yellow chick.
It's a little chick wearing a golden wig...
"What are you looking at?" The others were completely bewildered by the actions of the Qiao brothers.
Finally, seeing the Qiao brothers staring intently at the 'little yellow chick,' they subconsciously followed suit for a while.
stare--
About half a minute later.
The Qiao brothers stopped keeping an eye on things.
Apart from Qiao Jing holding Qiao Qiao without moving, the other three exchanged glances in unison.
Then they scattered in all directions.
The three brothers each face a different direction: southeast, west, or north.
"???" the others asked.
What are you doing?
What on earth is going on?!
soon.
The Qiao brothers demonstrated what they were doing through their actions.
Because each of them brought back a nest of wild eggs from some very hidden corner!
The wild eggs are brown, not very big, about the size of three red dates.
But it's still quite a sight to see a bunch of twenty or so of them gathered together.
"!!!" The others.
Holy crap!
Oh crap!
Holy crap!
After the initial shock.
Qiao Zhang, who was closest to the Qiao brothers, was so anxious that he kept circling around the three brothers, howling like a cat on a hot tin roof.
"Kunzi, tell me, have you guys gained some kind of third eye?"
He, Qiao Xu, and Qiao Kun were all thirteen years old.
They all attended junior high school in the town and were even in the same class. Whether at school or back in the village, they were almost always together, so they had a very close relationship.
He wasn't asking this out of jealousy.
It was simply a mixture of envy and amazement.
He has been to this back mountain no less than twenty times, and so far, he has never seen anyone have such a large harvest at once.
Taking away a wild egg nest is like taking away your own chicken coop!
The Qiao brothers remained silent.
They then realized that their behavior just now seemed a little hard to explain.
The brothers looked at each other.
Finally, Qiao Xu, the most persuasive person, stepped forward.
He put on a helpless expression, saying, "Since you've found out, there's nothing we can do," and pointed to the sun hat with a little yellow chick on it that Qiao Qiao was wearing.
Lowering his voice, he said mysteriously, "See that? The little chick on my sister's hat, do you see it?"
Do you know what that is?
"What is it?" someone asked impatiently, seeing that he couldn't get to the point.
"Chicken God!"
"That's the Chicken God!!!"
"..." others.
What, do they look like idiots?
Seeing that the others clearly didn't believe it.
Qiao Xu continued his deception: "The reason we brothers were staring at it just now was because we were praying in our hearts that it would bless us, and that's why we found so many wild eggs."
"..." others.
Some people are starting to waver.
After all, it's an undeniable fact that the Qiao brothers had been staring at the little chick for a while, and afterwards each of them brought back a bag of wild eggs.
This is the most compelling evidence.
"So how do you pray?"
A slightly younger boy, about the same age as Qiao Hai, asked, his eyes shining with anticipation. He clearly believed Qiao Xu's nonsense and was eager to try it out.
Qiao Xu didn't say anything.
He temporarily gave the eggs he had been carrying in his clothes to Qiao Kun, then took out the rabbit from the basket.
Then he took off his coat and placed it under the basket, finally directing Qiao Kun and Qiao Hai to put all the wild eggs inside.
The three brothers each took a nest, and together they had about fifty or sixty, which was quite eye-catching when placed together.
The people nearby looked at the wild eggs with envy, and some even swallowed their saliva.
Facing the intense gazes of several people.
Qiao Xu smiled, his demeanor incredibly generous: "I can tell you, but well, this basket is a bit heavy, my younger brother..."
"I'll carry Qiao Hai on my back! I'll carry him on my back!" someone immediately jumped out and said.
"Since you guys are so loyal, then I'll tell you."
Qiao Xu smiled and clasped his hands together.
“We all chant in our hearts: ‘Ma li ma li hong, chicken god, give me an egg, give me an egg…’ The most important thing is to be sincere. You can all try it.”
"..." Qiao Qiao.
She was completely stunned after witnessing her brother conning others.
Then his shoulders started shaking uncontrollably, and the shaking became more and more severe.
Before she could suppress her internal injuries, she buried her head in Qiao Jing's neck, leaving only a trembling little back view for others.
"Are you telling the truth or not?" Qiao Zhang scratched the back of his head, a little skeptical.
He pointed to Qiao Qiao, who was trembling in Qiao Jing's arms, and asked Qiao Xu, "What's wrong with your sister?"
Why does he look like he's secretly smiling?
"Oh, she's still young and doesn't understand the precious brotherhood between us. She doesn't want me to tell you about this, afraid you'll steal our wild eggs. That's why she's so sad right now."
As Qiao Xu spoke, he reached out and patted Qiao Qiao's back in a seemingly respectable manner.
He looked like a caring older brother: "Little sister, don't cry. Our Qiao family are all honest and upright people. Such a good thing should naturally be shared with everyone."
"..." The other brothers of the Qiao family.
Even Qiao Jing, the oldest student who was already in high school, looked at Qiao Xu with deep admiration and... fear.
They all thought to themselves: Sure enough, their second brother/second brother is a heartless bastard!
