Qiao Changdong knew that the reason Qiao Qiao had fainted last time had nothing to do with going to the mountains, so he didn't stop her, but he still gave her the necessary instructions.

When they finally entered the mountain, Qiao Kun glanced at Pei Yuanfan, who was standing at the entrance of the main room. He seemed casual, but his gaze was actually fixed on them.

He called out, "Hey, are you coming or not?"

Pei Yuanfan's eyes lit up immediately.

Going to the mountains to play is something no boy of this age can refuse.

When he was in Kyoto, he used to go to the mountains with some of his cousins, but the cities around Kyoto have been developed or included in protected areas, so they are basically not allowed to go into the mountains.

Hearing Qiao Kun's invitation, he couldn't contain his excitement and turned to look at Xiang Dongyan, who was talking to Fang Zhengnan.

"mom!"

"Go ahead, keep an eye on your sister." Xiang Dongyan waved her hand dismissively.

Her eldest son was confined to the house for many years due to health reasons, and she didn't take care of her younger son much.

As long as they don't do anything bad, she basically won't care how much they want to do as they please.

Before heading into the mountains this time, the Qiao family boys made more preparations.

However, while Pei Yuanfan could understand things like carrying a basket, what he couldn't understand was the bundle of hemp rope and two large hemp sacks that Qiao Xu asked Grandma Qiao for!

Especially that hemp rope, a bundle of it must be twenty or thirty meters long.

"Why did you bring hemp rope? Are you planning to tie up a wild boar?" Pei Yuanfan finally couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"You don't understand. My sister is a fairy blessed by the Chicken God. Just you'll see, this definitely won't be enough!"

Qiao Hai carried a burlap sack and rope, looking incredibly smug, treating Qiao Xu's old, convincing excuse as a foolproof reason.

This week, he gained a lot of admiration from his classmates at school because of his story.

Now almost the entire school knows that he has a "chicken goddess" sister.

He was so proud of himself.

"Huh?" Pei Yuanfan.

Qiao Xu smiled and pointed to the hat he had just taken out of the house and specially put on Qiao Qiao again, explaining, "Do you see the hat my sister is wearing?"

Pei Yuanfan walked and looked around, nodding.

But he didn't understand what was so special about this little yellow chick.

“That’s the Chicken God; it will protect us,” Qiao Xu said.

“…” Pei Yuanfan.

Look at the hat Qiao Qiao is wearing, the proud expressions on the faces of the Qiao family, and the expectant looks on the faces of the other children from the village who joined them on the way to the back mountain.

Pei Yuanfan frowned.

Have these people not forgiven him yet?

Did they think he was a fool and were trying to fool him?

Pei Yuanfan felt a little uncomfortable, but considering that he was indeed in the wrong, he could only force himself to endure it.

Having learned from Qiao Xu's explanation, Qiao Qiao didn't need any preamble this time. From the moment they entered the mountain, she kept giving hints to the Qiao brothers.

This time, there were several more children from the same village who went into the mountains with the Qiao brothers than last time, making a total of fifteen people in the group.

The children who had come in with the Qiao brothers before firmly believed that the hat on Qiao Qiao's forehead was the Chicken God.

The children who hadn't come last time all looked at Qiao Qiao's forehead with curiosity and anticipation.

The end result was that Qiao Qiao was solemnly placed on a small stool by the Qiao brothers, and then surrounded by more than a dozen people in the center, treated like a real "chicken god," and subjected to crazy rituals!

"Ma li ma li hong, Chicken God, Chicken God, please bless me!"

"Chicken God, Chicken God, Mali Mali Hong, please bless me."

"Chicken God, Chicken God, I want lots of wild eggs, and I don't care about the pheasant!"

"..."

Amidst the chanting of mantras, a boy who was half a year younger than Qiao Hai suddenly knelt down in front of Qiao Qiao when no one was paying attention.

Startled, Qiao Qiao, who was using her spiritual power to scan her surroundings for any Clivia plants, almost jumped up from her small stool.

Fortunately, just as the boy was about to kowtow, Qiao Kun stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and angrily shouted, "What are you doing!"

"Don't kneel and bow before my sister! Your sincerity is enough!" Qiao Xu said unhappily.

He then scanned the others and said in a warning tone, "None of you are allowed to kneel before my sister! If anyone does this again, don't come with us next time!"

His sister is so young, what if she has to kneel and kowtow and it shortens her lifespan?

There were a few other children who wanted to kneel and kowtow to show their sincerity, but upon seeing this, they quickly gave up and dared not make any more rash moves.

"Mali mali hong, mali mali hong, Chicken God, my name is Qiao Zhang. I have a good relationship with Qiao Kun and the others. Speaking of which, I am also like a brother to Qiao Qiao. Please bless me too. Please, please, I don't care about wild eggs, rabbits, pheasants or anything like that."

This is Qiao Zhang, who was somewhat skeptical last time, but is now completely convinced.

Seeing him read it aloud, the other children started chattering along.

"I want a rabbit, will the Chicken God care about that?"

"They should be responsible, right? Last time, Qiao Xu and his team caught a whole nest of rabbits."

"Hehe, the rabbit is great! Spicy rabbit is so delicious! My mom didn't scold me when I went out today, she must be thinking about eating spicy rabbit again!"

"Hey, my grandma was the same way. She used to scold me whenever I went out."

"This time we must be more sincere and ask the Chicken God to bless us!"

"Yes, yes, stop talking, be sincere."

"..."

"!!!" Pei Yuanfan.

Are these people insane?!

He began to suspect that he had joined some kind of cult!

But what truly broadened Pei Yuanfan's worldview was what happened next.

The four Qiao brothers stood around Qiao Qiao for a while, then suddenly began to scatter in all directions. A short while later, each pair of them returned with a nest of wild eggs!

"!!!" Pei Yuanfan.

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!

Pei Yuanfan watched in disbelief as the Qiao brothers carefully placed over fifty wild eggs into the basket they had brought.

The other children watched with envy.

Over the next hour.

Pei Yuanfan was so shocked by the Qiao family that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He noticed that whenever the Qiao brothers stared at the chicks on Qiao Qiao's forehead for a while, they would bring back some food.

Besides wild eggs, there are also wild rabbits, the kind that are caught in whole broods!

They wiped out five entire dens, nearly a hundred wild rabbits!

Pei Yuanfan swore he had never seen so many wild rabbits in his entire life!

Of course, the Qiao brothers were still good at dealing with people. In the later broods, they would deliberately let the other children who came with them catch the broods.

This time, in addition to wild eggs and wild rabbits, the Qiao family also caught three more badgers.
