Chapter 72: Return to Your Liu Family

“Qin Shuo!”

Xu Jiaojiao’s voice was still trembling.

“It’s okay, it’s already been killed, don’t be afraid.”

He said this, but Qin Shuo’s voice wasn’t much better than hers.

The hand that was holding her was still shaking.

Gu Qingbai stood beside them, still holding a stick, but his eyes were already dull.

Looking at the woman nestled in Qin Shuo’s arms, he smiled wryly.

He turned around and prepared to find a vine to rescue the girl.

He heard the woman’s sweet voice behind him.

“I’m fine, let’s go rescue Erni, she’s still in the trap.”

Her voice was completely different from the coldness she had shown earlier.

Now, her voice was unconsciously soft, the kind of tone you use when talking to your sweetheart.

“Okay.”

Qin Shuo said, pulling Xu Jiaojiao towards the trap.

When they reached the edge of the trap, he settled her down and looked inside.

Confirming the depth, he handed the torch to Xu Jiaojiao.

The next second, he jumped into the trap without hesitation.

Xu Jiaojiao, who had just taken the torch and hadn’t reacted yet, was completely startled!

“What about your leg? Are you okay?”

What kind of injury did he have? Why didn’t he care about his leg at all?

Jumping like that, would he ever be able to recover?

“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Qin Shuo reassured her.

Using the light of the torch, he saw Erni at the bottom of the trap.

Her leg was twisted at an unnatural angle.

It was definitely broken!

“Third…Uncle…” Erni’s voice was weak.

Seeing that it was her third uncle who came to rescue her, her tears flowed freely.

“Third Uncle, I’ll carry you up.”

Qin Shuo first looked around the trap, then his hand kept digging something on the wall of the trap.

After a while, a three-finger-wide root was exposed.

Then, he turned around and carefully picked up Erni.

He walked towards the root.

Qin Shuo held Erni in one hand and pulled the root with the other, with a single effort, he handed the child up.

Xu Jiaojiao rushed forward and was about to reach out to take Erni.

But someone was faster than her.

It was Gu Qingbai, who had gone to find the vine.

He had already found the vine, but it was no longer needed.

Looking at the man who could easily lift a six-year-old child with one hand, Gu Qingbai was amazed.

Without hesitation, he took the child.

Xu Jiaojiao, watching Qin Shuo still looking into the trap, was a little nervous.

“How about it? Can you come up?”

Qin Shuo looked up at her.

Then, he swung his hand holding the root, using it as leverage, and directly pulled himself up to the edge of the trap.

His incredible arm strength allowed him to fix his tall body with just one hand.

Then, with a force from his feet, he climbed up quickly.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

If special forces hadn’t been established until the 1980s, Xu Jiaojiao would have thought he was a special forces soldier.

With these skills, how could ordinary soldiers do it?

The woman’s eyes were full of admiration and affection, which made Qin Shuo feel good.

The corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.

Gu Qingbai, who had been fed a face full of dog food again, turned black.

Then he turned his head away and didn’t look at the couple again.

Xu Jiaojiao had already started looking for sticks to fix Erni’s leg and carry her down the mountain.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for them to find a few.

After selecting three suitable ones, Xu Jiaojiao carefully tied the sticks to Erni’s leg.

“Erni, hold on, your leg is broken, you need to fix it, otherwise it won’t heal well.”

Erni was almost numb from the pain.

She bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to make a sound.

But her tears kept flowing, showing how much pain she was in.

Xu Jiaojiao felt sorry for her, but there was nothing else she could do.

The couple worked together, and soon, they fixed the leg.

Then, Qin Shuo carried Erni on his back, Xu Jiaojiao held the torch in front, and Gu Qingbai held the flashlight behind.

The three of them walked down the mountain.

As they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw several people walking towards them.

When they saw Qin Shuo carrying someone on his back, they all cheered.

“We found her!”

“Erni is found, she’s safe!”

It was already late at night, and the cheers spread far away.

People in the distance also cheered.

Hearing that she was safe, everyone was relieved.

Xu Jiaojiao kept thanking the people.

“Thank you all so much today, we caused you a lot of trouble.”

“Hey, don’t be so polite, it’s good that the child is safe!”

The team was so simple, whenever someone had trouble, they would call out and many people would come to help.

For things like finding people, it was even more so, basically the whole village would come out.

The group walked towards the village, and soon, everyone went back to their own homes.

Only three people remained.

After walking for a while, Xu Jiaojiao stopped and turned to Gu Qingbai politely.

“Gu Zhiqing, thank you for your help today.”

No matter what, he did help them today.

“You’re welcome.”

Under Qin Shuo’s hostile gaze, Gu Qingbai nodded to Xu Jiaojiao.

Then, he parted ways with them at the fork in the road.

But his back looked so lonely.

Qin Shuo’s face was not good, his feet moved, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he blocked Xu Jiaojiao’s view.

Xu Jiaojiao: …

Thinking about what the original owner did in the past life, she felt a little sorry for her.

She reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes.

The soft touch was like a feather, making Qin Shuo’s heart melt.

“Let’s go home first.”

“Okay!”

That obedient look, who could resist?

In the dim light, the man’s eyes became even deeper.

Xu Jiaojiao’s heart beat faster and faster, uncontrollably!

The domineering kiss from the day flashed in her mind.

Her heart was even more out of control.

Suddenly, Xu Jiaojiao thought of a very serious question.

Where would he sleep tonight?

Before she could figure it out, she reached the front door of her house.

Before she went in, she heard a scolding voice coming from inside!

“She’s just a little kid? You let her go pick herbs and sell them? How come you can do it?”

The person scolding was Wang Fengmei.

And the person being scolded was undoubtedly Liu Zhaodi.

Hearing the scolding, Xu Jiaojiao realized that Erni was forced by her mother to go to the mountain in the south.

She was furious.

“Mom, I have no choice, I have four children to raise, but we have no income. Both their families can earn money, why can’t our family earn money?”

Qin Sheng squatted in the corner, his hands in his hair, not saying anything.

“We earn money through our own abilities, what abilities do you have? You’re enslaving children?”

Xu Jiaojiao was so angry that she directly poked her in the lung.

Liu Zhaodi’s face turned pale.

But she was unwilling. Xu Jiaojiao could earn money, that was fine, but why could Ding Xiujing earn money too?

Their money was all in their own pockets.

Only their big family was in dire straits.

“Liu Zhaodi, go back to your Liu family, my Qin family can’t accommodate a wife like you!”

Qin Sheng’s face was black, and he said seriously.

It was clear that he meant it.

Liu Zhaodi was really panicked.

“I won’t go back to my Liu family! You can’t drive me away, what will happen to Yao Hu?”

“You go back, I’ll take care of the grandson.”

Wang Fengmei was angry at this troublesome daughter-in-law, she didn’t feel comfortable unless she caused some trouble every day.

“I won’t go back! Don’t pull me!”

But Qin Sheng seemed to have made up his mind, he pulled her and walked out.

Behind them, Sanni’s eyes were filled with tears, she cried softly, “Mom, I want Mom!”

Yao Hu, on the other hand, seemed to be watching a show, not only did he not stop her, he even clapped his hands in approval!

What a chaotic scene!

Looking at the woman being forcibly dragged away, Xu Jiaojiao turned her head and didn’t say anything.

She was biased to the point of being ridiculous, she didn’t even care about her daughter’s life or death, it was really hard to sympathize with her.

When Xu Jiaojiao finally finished fixing Erni’s leg, it was already past twelve o’clock.

She took a cold shower, feeling exhausted and dazed.

She was about to climb into bed when she felt something warm!
