Chapter 99 As expected of a fairy daughter blessed by the Chicken God.
Reading Settings
In the end, the turtle was kept by Qiao Changdong in a broken water vat under his osmanthus tree.
Qiao Qiao actually quite likes eating turtle meat. Turtle meat is especially tender, and it tastes even better when it's cooked with chili in their local way.
She swallowed hard, a hint of regret in her eyes.
I wish I were a little older, so my grandma could make me a pot of dry-pot turtle meat.
Grandma Qiao made steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers for lunch.
The Qiao family never separated, but the things that were separated from the team were still separated.
However, most of the time, Mo Wenpei would only take half to town, leaving the rest at home as a meal for her two sons when they came back on Sundays.
"Little sister, shall we go play in the back mountain after we finish eating?" Qiao Kun picked up some food from the table, squatted down next to Qiao Qiao, and asked her.
It has been half a month since I last went into the back mountain.
Qiao Qiao had gone in with Qiao Changdong and his group twice before, which meant that she didn't go again when the boys had Sundays off.
This time, they finally made it to the New Year's Day holiday, and the boys were all itching to get out and about.
"Okay." Seeing her brothers looking at her with eager eyes, Qiao Qiao nodded and had no objections.
Now the Qiao family has no shortage of meat. If they want to eat, Qiao Qiao can take them to the back mountain to catch it. But the boys enjoy the process of catching it even more.
If you catch wild game that you can't finish eating, you can sell it for money. Who wouldn't want more money?
Anyway, Qiao Qiao doesn't mind.
"Then, brother, invite a few more friends?" Qiao Kun's eyes lit up instantly.
Qiao Qiao nodded again: "Okay."
"My little sister is the best. Come on, eat some more. This is your favorite fish maw!" Qiao Kun happily put the fish maw he had just picked into Qiao Qiao's bowl.
Seeing this, the other brothers followed suit and spontaneously gave Qiao Qiao all the food they had picked up that they thought was delicious.
Qiao Qiao's small porcelain bowls were piled up high, and there was really no more room for them, so her older brothers finally gave up.
Qiao Qiao thought that when Qiao Kun said he was calling a few friends, he meant the few people from the same village he was close to.
After lunch, she took a nap and found eight or nine unfamiliar boys around the same age as Qiao Kun in her yard, including Pei Yuanfan.
What surprised her even more was that the group of boys were silently practicing their boxing in the yard!
"..." Qiao Qiao.
When Qiao Qiao came out of Grandma Qiao's house rubbing her eyes, Qiao Kun, who was leading the boxing, paused.
"Little sister!" He ran up and picked Qiao Qiao up in one swift motion.
Then, carrying Qiao Qiao, whose hair was all messy from her afternoon nap, she went to her friends and proudly said, "Look, this is my little sister! A little fairy blessed by the Chicken God!"
“…………………………” Qiao Qiao.
Ironically, these guys had a lot of faith in Qiao Kun.
Their eyes sparkled as they looked at Qiao Qiao.
"Wow! This is Qiao Kun's sister? She's so beautiful, a million times more beautiful than you!"
"That's right! My sister, my mom said she's a fairy who was reincarnated into our family, so naturally she's the most beautiful." Hearing that person's words, Qiao Kun wasn't ashamed at all, but rather proud and extremely arrogant.
"Is she a fairy reincarnated? No wonder she's so beautiful. Her hair looks like a bird's nest. No wonder she's blessed by the Chicken God. She's just different."
“…… ...
Qiao Qiao was speechless so much!
Praising her beauty is enough; there's no need for the chicken coop.
"Alright, you all stop crowding around me. Just wait here. I'm taking my sister to wash her face. Once she's rested, we can go out... Hey, Liu Yu, what are you doing? Don't touch me!"
When he saw a young boy reach out and poke his sister's chubby hand when he wasn't looking, Qiao Kun's face immediately darkened. He roared angrily, his eyes practically spitting blood.
Qiao Xu and the others who hadn't initially gathered around came over as well, glaring angrily at the boy called Liu Yu.
Even Fu Yu, who was reading a book and whose legs were not very mobile, stood up and looked at Liu Yu with cold eyes.
Qiao Hai, in his impatience, gave Liu Yu a shove.
The boys have been very well educated in this regard by their family.
Qiao Qiao was extremely beautiful from a young age.
She was so beautiful that Grandma Qiao was so worried about her that she couldn't sleep well for a while.
Because she knew better than anyone that without a substantial family background, such outstanding looks were not actually a good thing.
Especially in such poor mountain villages like theirs.
All sorts of dirty things happen there.
So when Qiao Qiao was very young, the boys were disciplined by Grandma Qiao, Mo Wenpei, Fang Zhengnan and others.
You must keep a close eye on your younger sister while you are outside, and you must never let anyone from outside touch her, not even someone from the same village, regardless of gender.
"I've never seen such fair skin...it's like it's glowing."
The boy who poked Qiao Qiao's hand was shocked by the strong reaction of the Qiao brothers and turned pale. He quickly explained.
He really didn't have any bad intentions.
He also has a younger sister.
His sister was just as dark-skinned as him, but this was the first time he had ever seen such fair skin—whiter than a freshly steamed white bun! It seemed to glow!
It made him want to poke it without even realizing it.
"Brother, wash your face." Qiao Qiao didn't feel anything, but seeing that this person was about to cry, she nudged Qiao Kun's cheek with her messy little head.
Qiao Kun then gave up, but still glared at Liu Yu and warned the others, "You can look, but none of you are allowed to touch my sister, understand? Otherwise, I won't take you into the mountains! I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing that all eight or nine boys nodded and made their promises, Qiao Kun's expression softened a little.
After Qiao Qiao washed her face, her grandmother tied her hair into two small buns and put on a rabbit fur hat before the group set off from the Qiao family home to the back mountain.
Including other children from the village who were waiting to go into the mountains and catch some wild game along the way, there were nearly thirty people in this group.
Before Qiao Qiao left, she saw Fu Yu standing on the steps of the main room looking at them with no expression on his face. She wondered if he was envious.
Fu Yu's leg has been injured for more than a month. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, and the doctor said that the cast on his leg can only be removed in three months.
Given Qiao Qiao's current spiritual power, she could actually heal him completely.
But Qiao Qiao didn't do that. Firstly, Qiao Changdong had told her not to casually reveal this ability, and secondly, she felt it was unnecessary.
Since it's winter now, Fu Yu doesn't have to go to school and can stay home all day without doing anything, which is perfect for recuperating.
His leg injury will heal naturally by next spring.
She should save her spiritual power for more important purposes.
