Chapter 47 Whose fault is it? Did you all start worshipping the chicken god yourselves?

As for the others who were almost fooled by Qiao Xu, they believed it without a doubt.

Two of them even put their hands together and bowed to the little chick on Qiao Qiao's head, muttering incantations, probably the so-called prayer incantations that Qiao Xu had just mentioned.

Qiao Qiao, who had finally managed to stop laughing, burst out laughing again.

She buried her head in Qiao Jing's neck for a while before stopping.

Qiao Jing was afraid she would laugh herself sick, so he kept patting her back to help her catch her breath.

On the way back.

The eyes of the Qiao brothers and others were almost all fixed on Qiao Qiao's forehead.

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips, trying her best to look serious.

The road leading out is about a mile long.

Qiao Qiao would check her surroundings every hundred meters or so.

Besides rabbits, there are many other small animals.

However, Qiao Qiao did not give the Qiao brothers any hints. Too many people had followed them in today. If they caught a few more rabbits or pheasants, it would not only be difficult to take them, but it would also attract too much attention.

She didn't give any hints about the live prey, but she certainly raided many wild egg nests.

She would give the Qiao brothers a hint about where to find wild eggs every hundred meters or so.

They managed to dig out ten more nests within a 500-meter distance.

Qiao Qiao stopped giving advice only when she saw the person who had been tricked by Qiao Xu and was carrying a basket on his back. The basket was so full that it would fall out if she filled it any more.

As for the others...

Even if you stare at the little yellow chick on Qiao Qiao's head until its eyes turn cross, you still can't get a single wild egg out.

They could only watch helplessly as the Qiao brothers dug out nest after nest of wild eggs.

They were very unwilling to accept this and asked Qiao Xu why this had happened.

Qiao Xu shut them down with one sentence: "If you are not sincere and have impure thoughts, the Chicken God will naturally not protect you."

"..." others.

I'm so annoyed!

After leaving the mountains, Qiao Xu fulfilled his promise. Apart from the six siblings, there were five other people from the village.

Qiao Xu not only gave each of them a rabbit, but also gave each of them five extra wild eggs.

The five of them instantly forgot their frustration at not being blessed by the Chicken God, and happily went home carrying their rabbits and eggs.

As for the Qiao brothers...

When they got home, only Grandma Qiao and Mo Wenpei were at the Qiao family home.

Qiao Changhong, Qiao Changcai, and Fang Zhengnan went to the field to continue digging sweet potatoes.

Qiao Changdong rode his old bicycle with Fu Yu on his back to town. The middleman who sold him had been caught and needed to be identified.

Just then, he mentioned that his legs were numb, itchy, and in severe pain, and no one in his family knew anything about it, so Qiao Changdong took him to the county hospital to inquire about the situation.

When the brothers entered the courtyard, Grandma Qiao and Mo Wenpei were standing there, talking as they dried sweet potato slices and dried sweet potatoes on a bamboo mat.

Every year, the Qiao family grows a lot of sweet potatoes. Apart from eating them as a staple food and feeding them to pigs and chickens, the rest are dried into sweet potato chips and dried sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato chips and dried sweet potatoes are among the few homemade snacks that rural children can afford to eat these days.

Making dried sweet potatoes is simple: just cut cooked sweet potatoes into strips about the size of a finger and dry them.

Sweet potato chips are a bit more complicated.

First, peel and boil fresh sweet potatoes until cooked, then mash them into a paste, put them in a container and press them down overnight. The next morning, slice them into thin slices and dry them in the sun.

It takes about four or five days of sun exposure for them to turn into sweet potato chips.

According to the local custom in Qiaojia Village, in order to make the sweet potato chips more flavorful, some sesame seeds or diced orange peel are added during the process of mashing the sweet potatoes into a paste.

Sun-dried sweet potato chips can be eaten directly; they are chewy and sweet, but they are very hard on the jaw.

Qiao Qiao prefers another way of eating them: during holidays, she fries the sweet potato chips in oil made from rapeseed oil extracted at home until they are fragrant and crispy, which tastes much better than eating them directly.

The Qiao family had many sons, so it often took several batches to barely make enough for them.

This is the first time Grandma Qiao and Mo Wenpei have made this since autumn.

The two of them had been drying four bamboo mats when they turned around and saw the six siblings returning with a basket of wild eggs and twelve wild rabbits on their backs. They were both stunned.

"My goodness, where did you get all this? Did you rob someone's house?"

Mo Wenpei washed his hands in the basin of water beside him, then walked over and looked at the spoils of war that the brothers had displayed in the main room. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it for a long time.

This time, Qiao Xu dared not lie anymore and told the whole story.

"Really? Our little darling is amazing!" Mo Wenpei's eyes lit up.

She took Qiao Qiao from her son's arms and kissed her little face with delight: "Mom, it looks like we're going to be lucky from now on!"

That's exactly right.

If my child has this ability, won't they be able to get whatever they want to eat in the future?

Grandma Qiao didn't say anything, but frowned as she looked at her little granddaughter in her arms.

She reached out and pulled the person into her arms, patted her head, and asked with concern, "Is anything bothering you?"

Grandma Qiao has lived most of her life and is practically half-buried, so she's seen a lot of things.

But none of these experiences can compare to the profound impact I had on my granddaughter this past week.

She didn't care about these external things, nor did she care how much good fortune her skills could bring to her family. Like Qiao Changdong, she only cared about whether these things would harm Qiao Qiao.

"Oh right, look at me, I forgot about that. Little darling, are you feeling alright anywhere?" After her initial surprise, Mo Wenpei realized this and quickly asked, her eyes full of worry.

"No, Grandma, Auntie, I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere." Qiao Qiao shook her head and nestled her head on Grandma Qiao's shoulder, rubbing against her affectionately.

A small, fair finger pointed to the wild rabbit and wild eggs on the ground.

Her small chest puffed out, her voice was soft and sweet, but her pronunciation was clear and she was incredibly proud.

"Qiaoqiao will bring more back in the future for Grandma, Dad, and Uncle, Aunt and Brother to eat."

"Oh my, look at our precious little darling, you're practically asking your aunt to give you her heart and soul!" Mo Wenpei was deeply moved.

She wiped away imaginary tears from her face with a mock-serious gesture, glancing at the boys beside her: "I never thought I'd get to enjoy the blessings of my sons in this life, but I'll get to enjoy the blessings of our little darlings first. How wonderful!"

"Sure enough, the old saying is right, sons are all troublemakers! Looks like we'll have to rely on our good son to enjoy our blessings in the future!"

"Mom, we did our part too!" Qiao Kun retorted.

He admitted that most of this was thanks to his sister, but they went to catch, carry... well, okay, they tricked others into carrying.

But it still took some effort.

"Yeah, luckily you're not very bright, but at least you have some brute strength, so you won't starve in the future," Mo Wenpei said coolly.
