After returning to the village, Mr. Qin ordered Qin Chuan to take all the injured people to Doctor Fang's house.

There are more than a dozen people who have been bitten by black raccoons, mostly on their arms and calves. Fortunately, they are just skin injuries. As long as you clean the wounds and apply medicine, and avoid contact with water before scabs form, the wounds will be cured within a few days.

It will get better and it won't have much impact on working in the fields.

The medical expenses and medicine expenses were naturally paid by the Qin family. In addition, Mr. Qin also asked Mrs. Miao to take out the more than 300 eggs saved at home and divide them into 23 parts, and deliver them door to door to those who helped.

past.

The forty or fifty hens raised by the Qin family are particularly good at laying eggs, and they can pick up thirty or forty eggs every day. These more than three hundred eggs are very rare for other families, but for the Qin family, they can save them for more than ten days.

There's nothing better than going out to get favors.

The person who was given the egg was polite and accepted it happily. When discussing in private, he praised the Qin family for being generous and good at doing things. In the future, if the Qin family needs help with something, they can just say hello to these people.

I won't refuse.

Although the hundreds of eggs he had saved were gone, and he also lost a large amount of medical money, it is a great blessing that Qin Xiaoxiao can come back safe and sound. Not to mention the hundreds of eggs and medical money, even if it is all out of pocket

The Qin family also feels that their family fortune is worth it.

Especially the three women of the Qin family, who hugged Qin Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were not yet swollen, and cried without letting go.

After Zhao Caoer finished crying, it was not enough. He picked up the bamboo stick under the eaves and called to Dabao: "You useless thing, what did I tell you before you went up the mountain? Fortunately, your sister is fine, otherwise I would interrupt you.

Dog legs!”

Dabao jumped up to avoid his mother's whipping, and while running, he defended himself: "Mom, it's not me who brought the black raccoon here, can you blame me for this? You are already old, please be more reasonable!

"

Zhao Cao'er became even more angry, swinging the bamboo sticks and whirring: "You bastard, who do you blame for this? If you hadn't hooked your sister up the mountain, would your sister have met the black raccoon?

"

When Dabao heard this, he suddenly became depressed and stood still.

As early as when Qin Xiaoxiao was surrounded by black raccoons, Dabao regretted it. He regretted that he should not have taken Qin Xiaoxiao to the mountain just to pick up more fungi and sell them for money.

He knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was attracting cats, and he thought that he might attract the black raccoons or other wild cats from the mountains, but he still took a chance and thought that the black raccoons were deep in the mountains and would not come out.

As a result, the black raccoons really came outside, and there was a large group of them, which he never expected.

Before being exposed by Zhao Cao'er, Dabao could comfort himself by saying that it was an accident and had nothing to do with him. Now, no matter how much he deceives himself and others, he can't escape the responsibility of putting Qin Xiaoxiao in danger.

With a "pop" sound, the bamboo stick that was too late to be retracted hit Dabao's arm hard.

Zhao Cao'er was stunned for a moment, then yelled: "You bastard, you still know that you have done something stupid!"

After saying that, she rolled up Dabao's sleeves and saw a streak of blood on his arm. She couldn't help but want to curse again, but when she saw Dabao's red eyes, she couldn't curse anymore.

"Second aunt, please don't hit big brother!" Qin Xiaoxiao slipped down from her mother's body, and quickly inserted her short legs between Zhao Cao'er and Dabao, preventing Zhao Cao'er from hitting Dabao anymore.

Just now, the little girl mistakenly thought that Zhao Cao'er and Dabao were chasing and playing like before, and she thought it was funny and giggled non-stop. Who could have imagined that this time it was a real fight. At this moment, she was blaming herself, regretting that she didn't run over to stop it earlier.

In front of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Zhao Cao'er couldn't excuse his son, so he said to his niece: "Your eldest brother did something wrong and almost hurt you. You should give him a good beating to make him remember a little bit, so that he won't do it again."

Get into trouble again!"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head fiercely and opened her arms like an old hen to protect Dabao: "Second aunt, eldest brother is kind to me, so please stop hitting him, okay!"

At the end of the sentence, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhao Cao'er pleadingly, as if she would cry the next moment if Zhao Cao'er didn't agree.

Lin Qiuniang also advised her: "Brothers and sisters, this is just an accident. You can't blame Dabao. If Dabao hadn't been protecting Xiaoxiao today, Xiaoxiao might have been dragged away by those beasts. How could he have waited for his father?"

They went to rescue."

Zhao Cao'er just wanted to teach Dabao a lesson, but she didn't really want to know what kind of beating he would get. Now that her little niece was looking at her with big eyes, and her sister-in-law was stepping down again, how could she do it, so she waved her hand and said

: "No more fighting, no more fighting, little ancestor, please don't cry~"

Qin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly at Zhao Cao'er. Zhao Cao'er almost lost control and reached out to pinch her tender and white face.

But when Qin Xiaoxiao saw the blood stains on Dabao's arm, she couldn't laugh anymore. She held Dabao's arm with her little hands and almost shed tears: "Brother, does it hurt? I'll give it to you."

Just huff and puff and it won’t hurt anymore!”

As she said that, she leaned her head over, puffed up her cheeks and blew air into the bloody ridge.

Dabao was moved and felt guilty. He stretched out his hand and pinched his little cousin Mao's head: "Little girl, my brother is a man, so this little injury won't hurt!"

Qin Xiaoxiao said nothing and stubbornly continued to care for her elder brother's wounds. She didn't stop until her cheeks became sore and her head started to feel dizzy.

Dabao's eyes were slightly hot, and he couldn't help but plucked her hair again: This little fool...

In the evening, the three masters of the Qin family came back from Fang Langzhong's house.

Their arms and legs were also scratched several times by the black raccoon. After the other people's wounds were healed, they didn't worry about the medical money and let Doctor Fang take care of it.

Seeing that the three fathers were fine, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were completely relieved, and they had to complain about the troublesome black raccoons. In the end, they blamed Dahuang, thinking that if Dahuang hadn't run away for fun, those black raccoons

He wouldn't be so bold as to jump out and kidnap someone.

So, in order to punish Rhubarb, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided not to give Rhubarb dinner.

Although Rhubarb cannot understand human speech, it is very smart and can judge the mood of its owner from its expression and tone. What's more, the words that accuse it are directly spoken to it, how can it not know that it has made its owner angry?

Already.

Therefore, when the Qin family was having dinner lively around the table, it was lying in front of the empty rice bowl with its head drooped, not daring to go around the table begging for food like before.

Qin Xiaoxiao regarded rhubarb as her playmate, and she was not willing to let it starve. So when eating, she deliberately complained that she was hungry and asked Lin Qiuniang to serve her a full bowl of rice.

She didn't eat much, so she ate less than half of the full bowl of rice. She also secretly buried the rabbit meat that the adults put in her bowl at the bottom of the bowl, preparing to give the food in the bowl to Dahuang when the adults weren't paying attention.

Her little move could not be hidden from the adults at the dinner table, but everyone turned a blind eye and no one exposed it.

Qin Xiaoxiao thought that she had successfully concealed herself. She secretly held the rice bowl and let Da Huang come outside the yard with the rice bowl in his mouth.

Pour more than half of the bowl of rice with rabbit meat into the rice bowl. Seeing the rhubarb wagging its tail and eating happily, Qin Xiaoxiao felt particularly satisfied.

Zhao Xiuxiu had been paying attention to Qin Xiaoxiao. Seeing that she showed no signs of illness, she felt very angry, so she came over and deliberately provoked her: "Xiaoxiao, you were almost dragged away by a black raccoon today, aren't you afraid?

"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to think about what happened on the mountain, so he said perfunctorily: "I'm not afraid."

Zhao Xiuxiu rolled his eyes and revealed a vicious smile on his face: "It seems that Xiaoxiao has become bolder... Alas, if my uncle and the others hadn't arrived in time, Xiaoxiao would have been dragged to the mountain by the black raccoon.

I have heard that there are many scary things in the mountains. Wolves and tigers are nothing. The most terrifying thing is the den of poisonous snakes. Once you fall into the den of poisonous snakes and are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will not die immediately, but you will helplessly die.

It’s really scary to see that the skin and flesh will rot away bit by bit from the feet to the head, and eventually die of pain!”

Any other child would probably be scared to death by Zhao Xiuxiu's terrifying description. But Qin Xiaoxiao is different from other children. She has no feelings for snakes, which most people are afraid of.

Just seeing Zhao Xiuxiu staring at him and smiling, Qin Xiaoxiao started to feel confused again. She frowned and asked, "Cousin Xiuxiu, why are you telling me this? Do you want to see me scared to tears?"

Zhao Xiuxiu didn't expect Qin Xiaoxiao to ask this, and was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, she said in a bad tone: "Why, weren't you scared? You never thought about being killed by Kuro Ye

What will happen if you drag a raccoon into the mountains?"

Of course Qin Xiaoxiao had thought about it. She thought that if she was caught by a black raccoon in the mountains, her parents would not be able to find her, and she would never see her parents again. As for wolves, tigers, and poisonous snake dens, etc.

, her mind was too young and she never thought of it at that time.

However, the little girl didn't want to chat with Zhao Xiuxiu, so she didn't say this out loud. She shook her head decisively: "I never thought that with grandpa, dad and second uncle here, I won't let the black raccoon drag me down."

Deep in the mountains."

Zhao Xiuxiu didn't believe that Qin Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all, but when she saw that there was no trace of fear on her face, she finally realized that what she encountered on the mountain in the afternoon probably left no trace in this mean girl's heart.

Since she was not frightened, there is no way she was frightened to the point of unconsciousness and almost died!

Thinking about this clearly, Zhao Xiuxiu almost broke her teeth.

Looking at Zhao Xiuxiu, whose expression suddenly became terrifying, Qin Xiaoxiao became even more frightened. Seeing that the rhubarb was almost eaten, she didn't want to stay here, so she turned around and walked towards the yard, but she didn't expect to see her at the corner.

, almost bumped into Mr. Qin.

"Grandpa~" Qin Xiaoxiao was startled. After seeing clearly that it was her grandpa, she relaxed and patted her pounding heart with her little hand.

"Uncle, uncle." Zhao Xiuxiu was really shocked. She was not sure how much Mr. Qin heard and whether he would notice her little thoughts. For a moment, she felt very uneasy and did not dare to

Look into Mr. Qin’s eyes.

Mr. Qin didn't look at Zhao Xiuxiu, but pointed at Dahuang's rice bowl and asked Qin Xiaoxiao with a straight face: "What are you doing? Don't you know that Dahuang has been punished and is not allowed to eat?"

Dahuang was very afraid of Mr. Qin. Sensing that his tone was wrong, he tucked his tail and hid behind Qin Xiaoxiao, as if Mr. Qin couldn't see him.

Qin Xiaoxiao was not afraid of Mr. Qin. He smiled playfully and leaned over to hug Mr. Qin's hand and act coquettishly: "Grandpa, Dahuang knows that it is wrong. It has to look after the house at night. If it is not fed, it will have no strength."

Mr. Qin's serious expression almost stopped, and he waved his hand to dismiss the villain: "Go back to the house quickly, your mother is looking for you."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, her face fell and she ran into the house: "It's over, it's over, mother must know!"

When Dahuang saw his little master running away, he glanced at Mr. Qin. When he saw that Mr. Qin was not looking at him, he quietly picked up the rice bowl and crossed the threshold, following the little master's buttocks.

After sending away one person and one dog, only the gloomy-looking Mr. Qin and the guilty Zhao Xiuxiu were left outside the yard.

Mr. Qin stared at Zhao Xiuxiu for a long time. When Zhao Xiuxiu's legs became stiff and he couldn't control himself and wanted to squat down, he finally spoke: "Xiuxiu, how many years have you been in the Qin family?"

Zhao Xiuxiu panicked and tried her best to say in a normal tone: "Uncle, it's been four years."

"Yes, it's been four years..." Mr. Qin's voice became a little floating, and he gestured with his hand on a place on his thigh: "My uncle remembers that when you first came here, you were only so tall. I didn't expect that you would be so tall in the blink of an eye."
