Chapter 1353 The Miracle of Da Bao'er
Hearing this, Qiong Lao was relieved. He then pointed to the group of assassins and said, "General Chu, please take that cart of supplies back. You and my master can split it in half."
"Ha, you'll get half the goods if I help you carry them? Alright, I'll do you this favor." General Chu laughed and sent soldiers to take over the mule carts, which then drove off with the goods.
After a period of rest, roll call, and the criminals being escorted to view the corpses, General Chu and his men finally left.
"General Chu, please wait!" This was the voice of the King of Ye. He tirelessly did these small but respectful things.
General Chu was quite pleased. He stopped his horse, turned around, bowed apologetically to him, and then rode away.
Qin Xiaomi: "So slow."
Uncle Qin: "Hmph, you girl just don't understand social etiquette. You should learn more from your uncle. When Dalang comes back, you'll treat him like this."
"Ha," Qin Xiaomi laughed, "Second Uncle, you have the nerve to teach me about social etiquette? You don't even have this skill yourself. You should learn more from your Uncle. You're so old and you still don't know about social etiquette. You still have to clean up after your family. Aren't you ashamed?"
Uncle Qin almost became depressed from the scolding. He pointed at her with trembling fingers, racking his brains for words, but only managed to utter one word: "You!"
"What did you say?" Qin Xiaomi was very arrogant, and even slapped away Uncle Qin's left hand that was pointing at her.
Fortunately, the Prince of Ye came to the rescue, saying, "Second brother-in-law, let's go and collect Mr. Tong's body."
Tong, the main culprit, did have some merit; we can't let his body be left exposed to the elements.
He added, “Father-in-law, niece, go and talk to your mother-in-law and Da Bao’s mother. You don’t need to help us anymore. We don’t need you right now, so take a break.”
Well, although my eldest niece is very strong and has fought on the battlefield, with blood on her hands, I still hope that she can stay away from these things and grow up as normally as possible.
Wait until you're over thirty, or at least twenty-four, before getting involved in these bloody things.
"Listen to your uncle, let's go talk to your grandma and Da Bao'er. After your uncle and the others have finished, we can go and offer incense." Old Madam Guan called to the grandmother and grandson.
"Alright." Seeing that Commander Wei and Commander Wei were busy, Grandpa Qin took his granddaughter and followed Madam Guan into the Wu Garden.
Puff puff!
Before entering the garden, we were splashed with disinfectant.
After entering the garden, they were splashed with disinfectant and had to put on a large smock before they could get close to the carriage that Grandma Qin and the others were riding in.
Although they were said to be close, they were still about five meters apart. If your eyesight isn't good, you wouldn't even be able to see their faces clearly, so it would be pointless to even look at them.
Fortunately, everyone had good eyesight, and there were torches, stone lanterns, and lanterns lit around the area, making it very bright.
"Sister Xiaomi!" Jiang Xiaozhu, Qin Xiaomai, and Qin Xiaogu called out joyfully and loudly, waking up Da Bao'er, who then burst into tears.
"Waaaaah!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Qin Xiaomi clicked her tongue: "Da Bao'er, your temper is getting bigger. You've lost the composure you had during the battle at the Gu family study."
Da Bao'er: "..."
Cousin, are you even speaking human language? I'm not even a month old, still a newborn, and you've been tormenting me time and time again. How can I not cry?
I started crying: "Waaaaah!"
"Oh, Da Bao'er, don't cry, don't cry. It's your cousin Xiaomi, your only real cousin." Jiang Xiaozhu turned around to comfort Da Bao'er. Although she was still a child herself, she already had the demeanor of an older sister. Qin Xiaomai also comforted Da Bao'er: "Cousin, don't cry, don't cry. It's our Xiaomi."
Aunt Qin and Second Aunt Qin smiled at them, and together they coaxed Da Bao'er until he was calmed down.
"Da Bao'er is really well-behaved; a little coaxing is all it takes," Aunt Qin remarked.
Da Bao'er said: In this situation, and with you elders who love to show me off all the time, how can I not be good?
If you misbehave, you can sulk so much you'll die of anger!
"Second sister-in-law, let's go, let's take Da Bao'er out of the car and let his maternal grandfather and cousin see him," said Aunt Qin.
Aunt Qin: "Okay, take it slow. Don't exert yourself. Let the female guards help you."
This carriage was specially made, three times larger than the usual carriage, and was specially designed for Aunt Qin and her son to ride in, so it could accommodate the female guards, Madam Sun, Grandma Qin, Aunt Qin, and Xiao Zhu.
After some commotion, everyone got out of the car and met each other at a distance of five meters.
"Xiao Mi, let Grandma see you." Grandma Qin wished she could abandon her daughter and son and go be with her granddaughter.
He added, "Sister Shu, you and Da Bao'er should step back a few meters."
To avoid the risk of rat plague, it's best to stay as far away as possible.
Aunt Qin shook her head: "Mom, it's okay, we also want to see Xiaomi."
Xiaomi had survived several brushes with death, which made them feel as if they were in another world. They were also afraid that Xiaomi might be hurt, so they wanted to see her with their own eyes.
"I feel like a monkey, everyone comes to watch," Qin Xiaomi joked, then added, "Alright, alright, I'll untie the sack and show you."
She untied the hood from the inside, revealing her neck and above, and then turned left and right, winking at Grandma Qin and the others: "Look, I'm fine, right? Grandma, Aunt, Second Aunt, and Da Bao'er, you don't need to worry."
"Sister Xiaomi, you didn't mention us!" Jiang Xiaozhu said, a little hurt. "We're the closest of friends."
The family only has two girls, and even though there is a big age difference, Jiang Xiaozhu is convinced that Sister Xiaomi is her best friend!
"Alright, alright, I'll call on everyone again..." Qin Xiaomi repeated it once more, this time including Madam Sun and the female guards, showing fairness to everyone: "Is that alright?"
Jiang Xiaozhu was satisfied: "Okay, that's good. Keep it like this from now on."
"Such a young age, yet so many demands." Qin Xiaomi said to Jiang Xiaozhu, making the little girl feel favored. Then she started to favor her own grandmother: "Grandma, you've lost weight, you need to eat more. I'm the one who earns money to fatten you up, you can't lose weight, that's not just losing flesh, it's losing my money!"
Despite his antics, he still managed to make Grandma Qin cry.
Qin Xiaomi was at her wit's end. She sat down on the ground, supporting her waist with one hand and her cheek with the other, and said, "Grandma, I'm not good at comforting people, so you'll be fine after you cry for a while."
Grandpa Qin was also very anxious: "Old woman, don't cry, it's bad for your health. We need to be healthy now so that the younger generation can have peace of mind."
He added, "Did you wear the yellow paper that Master Xun gave you? Did you forget to wear it? You should wear it. Xiaomi and I are both wearing it."
Grandpa Qin is getting old, and his life has been incredibly difficult, so he's become superstitious. He suspects that his wife's incessant crying is because she's not wearing the amulet given to her by Master Xun.
Since arriving at the Qin family, Old Xun has been strictly forbidden by Qin Xiaomi from using supernatural powers or superstitious practices, or he would be docked pay. This time, he had a rare opportunity to work, so he did it very seriously. Not only did he make amulets for them, but before leaving the city, the old man also performed a shamanic dance for Grandma Qin and the others.
They confidently asserted that the protective effect of this shamanic ritual was comparable to that of the Beijing city wall!
"Grandma, listen to Xiaomi. She's finally back, so let's all be happy and put her mind at ease," Aunt Qin said softly to Grandma Qin.
Not wanting her granddaughter and husband to worry, Grandma Qin quickly wiped away her tears and called out, "I'm fine, Xiaomi, don't worry, Grandma is fine! I'm very busy and don't have time to think about anything or cry. I'm only crying because I'm finally free and see you all safe and sound!"
