When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
She responded calmly: "Okay, I'll just help you look for it later."
Mrs. Qiao Lian was reluctant: "What do you mean a while? It's late at night. If you don't see people from your place, if you want to look for them, look for them now!"
Qiao Huaping was not angry either. She handed Bai Feiye in her arms to Mei Qingyu who was aside. Seeing her good temper, she agreed: "That's okay."
Mei Qingyu obviously noticed something was wrong and whispered: "Mother..."
Qiao Huaping shook her head slightly at him.
She wanted to see what kind of medicine Qiao Lian and Qiao Huadie sell in their gourds!
Mei Qingyu hesitated for a moment, hugged Bai Feiye, and couldn't help but tell Qiao Huaping: "Mom, be careful."
Qiao Huaping smiled and reached out to touch Mei Qingyu's head to reassure him. Before leaving, he couldn't help pinching Bai Feiye's fat little face.
Qiao Lian looked on coldly and sneered secretly.
After tonight, let’s see how shameless Qiao Huaping will be alive!
Qiao Lian pretended to look around with Qiao Huaping.
Qiao Lian also told Qiao Huaping: "Don't make too much of a fuss about the search. Die'er is a girl, and her disappearance at night will not be good for her reputation after all."
Qiao Huaping sneered inwardly, but he responded in agreement on his face.
However, not long after the search, Qin, the second daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, hurriedly came over and said that her niece Qiao Jing'er was not well and asked her to come and take a look.
Mrs. Qiao Lian looked embarrassed and said to Qiao Huaping: "Then you look for her first. I'll go back and check on Girl Jing first."
Qiao Huaping actually endured a little pain.
It was really too difficult for her to show a look of belief despite her poor acting skills.
Of course, in order to enhance her credibility, she also showed a little suspicion: "...haven't you always disliked Jing'er?"
Qiao Lian's face tightened and she hurriedly said: "No matter how much I don't like her, I only have Jing Yatou as my granddaughter. If something really happens to her, how can I not be anxious?"
As she spoke, Qiao Lian pretended to wipe away her tears.
She probably thought that this was enough to fool Qiao Huaping, but she never thought that Qiao Huaping could see things in the dark and could see everything clearly.
Qiao Huaping sneered calmly.
"Okay, you go back. I'll look for it first." Qiao Huaping responded.
Mrs. Qin seemed to have remembered something and pointed in a certain direction: "Are you looking for Fourth Sister? Speaking of which, I seem to have seen Fourth Sister crying and going over there."
Qiao Huaping looked in the direction Qin pointed.
It was pitch dark in that place, what good could happen?
Qiao Lian, however, looked very anxious: "...You go and look for her first. I'll go home and check on Girl Jing, and I'll come look for you soon."
Qiao Huaping smiled, very softly under the moonlight: "Okay, then I'll go take a look first."
…
Less than half an hour later.
Mrs. Qiao Lian cried and went to find Village Chief Lu.
"My Die'er was so angry that her third sister ran away. I couldn't find her, so I asked her third sister to find her with me," Mrs. Qiao Lian howled in a loud voice, "But now
, even her third sister is missing!... These two sisters are not going to meet a wolf at night!"
"What, Mrs. Qiao is missing?!" Upon hearing this, Village Chief Lu almost ignored the injury on his foot and was so anxious that he went to find someone, "How long have you been missing? Why did you just tell me!"
Qiao Lian pretended to cry: "I haven't seen anyone for nearly half an hour - Village Chief Lu, will my Sanya and the others be in trouble?"
Village Chief Lu was extremely worried.
He knew that Mrs. Qiao had always been reliable. How could she not find anyone for so long without saying anything?
Village Chief Lu ignored the others and hurriedly asked people to find the men in the village, and mobilized them to search for them in the woods.
The noise was so loud that the children of the Mei family naturally knew about it.
Gu's wife, Sister Du, came to Mei's house as soon as she heard about it, for fear that the children would be worried.
Mei Qinghuang's face turned pale with fright: "Mother...will nothing happen to my mother?"
Although Mei Qingyu was also very worried, he remembered Qiao Huaping's seemingly meaningful comfort before leaving. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mom must be fine."
Mei Qingyao was still extremely worried. He wanted to go look for Qiao Huaping, but Mrs. Gu quickly stopped him.
"Brother Yao, if you go, you are causing trouble." Mrs. Gu said bluntly, "You are still a child. There are many dangers at night, including insects, snakes, and wild beasts. We are at the edge of the official road now.
Maybe there is also the thief who cut the path... Your mother is very capable, maybe she just didn't come back for a while, but if you encounter any danger when you go out, you will be worried to death when your mother comes back."
Mei Qingyao turned pale and stopped talking.
Mei Qingying suddenly gently held Mei Qingyao's hand: "Brother, don't worry. Let's wait for mother together."
After hearing this, Sister Du nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, brother Yao, you are the eldest, and you have to take your younger brothers and sisters together to wait for your mother to come back."
Mei Qingyao let out a long sigh and could only wait where he was with his younger brothers and sisters.
…
Under Qiao Lian's deliberate and unintentional guidance, the group looking for Qiao Huaping entered the dark forest.
They held torches and shouted:
"Ms. Qiao!"
But no one responded.
Qiao Lian suddenly made a "shush" gesture: "I seem to have heard something..."
Everyone was quiet for a while and listened, and sure enough they heard something.
It was like a man's excited and rough growl, and a woman's whimpering, as if her mouth was blocked, making some kind of sound.
Many men who have married families suddenly turn pale.
They knew very well what was going on!
Could it be?!
No, they have to rescue people quickly!
Qiao Lian naturally knew what the movement was and clenched her hands in excitement.
...it's done!
Everyone held up torches in panic and rushed to where the movement was.
When I arrived somewhere, I saw two figures stacked on top of each other, seemingly doing something like that!
The crowd was furious and roared!
Only Mrs. Qiao Lian was so happy that she also shouted out, her voice trembling slightly: "Sanya!"
Everyone stepped forward and quickly tore the person apart without caring about anything.
Mrs. Qiao Lian also rushed forward and howled: "My poor Sanya! How will you behave in the future!"
——However, as she shouted, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
This one in my arms is about to expire, calling her "mother" in a very weak voice. Why does it sound more and more like her butterfly?!
The blood all over Qiao Lian's body seemed to be frozen all of a sudden!
With trembling hands, she brushed away the stray hair from the woman's face. Looking at it through the light of someone else's torch, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
This, this is not Qiao Huaping, this is Qiao Huadi!
