"Who are you calling a dog!" Cheng ng was furious. He ignored the little girl and demanded, "Where’s Cheng the Second? His daughter insulted her elders like this, he must give an explanation."
"Just because you’re an elder doesn’t an I have to let you off. Insulting soone isn’t illegal. I’m just following your orders. Even if you bring the village chief, it’s the sa reasoning."
Cheng Xiaoxiao spread her hands, completely playing the rascal. Go ahead, try to accuse !
Cheng ng was so angry that he was about to make a move when a long sword was placed against his neck.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly froze.
With a blank expression, Dongfang Xu spoke slowly, "What do you think you’re doing?"
Cheng ng broke out in a cold sweat. This person had killed the leader of the bandits, while he hadn’t even fought a single bandit underling. His forr superiority from being undefeated in the village was clearly nonexistent.
Regretting his impulsive actions, his life almost at risk, he stamred, "I... I just want fairness."
As soon as he said this, the sword’s tip twisted, instantly drawing a trace of blood from Cheng ng’s neck.
Frightened, he dared not move, quickly changing his words, "No, I an... just wanted to say, the child didn’t understand, spoke wrongly, should be punished, should be punished, Xiao did right."
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Xu reluctantly withdrew his sword.
At this mont, Third Uncle and Seventh Uncle were carried over by their younger relatives.
"Though the clan leader and village chief are seriously injured now, it doesn’t an there’s no one to take charge. At least the two of us old fellows are still alive," Third Uncle said in a heartfelt tone.
Seventh Uncle nodded, "Right! Xiao returned at the critical mont of life and death for our village, saving the entire village’s lives. For Cheng ng’s family to pick a fight with Xiao for such an unreasonable reason is truly ungrateful."
The villagers also chid in one after another.
"Yeah, using size and strength to bully a little girl, what kind of behavior is that?"
"Isn’t this just looking for trouble? If it weren’t for Xiao, Xiaocui would have been bullied by the bandits."
"And still has the nerve to cause trouble, truly shaless."
"And Xiaocui too, so young yet such a venomous tongue, which family would dare to marry her in the future!"
The won spoke one after another, getting more and more energetic as they went.
Cheng ng was accustod to being arrogant ordinarily, now fearing Dongfang Xu, he didn’t dare say another word, allowing the gossipy won to chatter, inwardly fuming, yet not daring to show any reaction.
Third Uncle raised his hand to signal for quiet, "I think this matter should be settled here. We’re all from the sa village, eting each other frequently. If we stir up conflict, it’s bad for everyone."
Then he looked around, "Everybody disperse! Those injured should go ho and recuperate. The able-bodied n, transport the food back to each family’s house."
A woman hesitantly asked, "What about the money and property that were confiscated...?"
Everyone looked toward Cheng Xiaoxiao.
"It’s too late today, I’ll sort it out tomorrow and return it to each one of you."
At this mont, two small figures ca running.
"Elder sister, elder sister!"
"Sister Xiaoxiao."
Cheng Jia and Cheng Ran had bright smiles on their faces. They had just witnessed their elder sister descend like a goddess to save everyone and were so happy they jumped for joy on the spot.
They wanted to rush down imdiately but suddenly rembered sothing. Right, they almost forgot about Yi Bai.
Quickly, they ran back to Cheng Beiniu’s house, carrying the still-sleeping little nephew on their backs, and then ca down the hill together.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, seeing the little ones safe and sound, felt very relieved, "You did great, you’re truly my siblings."
The two little ones, praised, were extrely happy.
"Let’s go, ti to go ho."
"Okay!"
Back ho, Cheng Xiaoxiao busied herself applying dicine to everyone. Each one bore so bruises on their body. Cheng Xiaoxiao was busy until after 3 a.m. before she went to sleep.
The system originally wanted to remind the host that the upgrade reward box hadn’t been opened yet, but seeing how tired she looked, it decided to wait until she woke up.
The next day, everyone slept until late morning.
As soon as Cheng Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, the system started to chatter non-stop.
"What ti is it now?"
"Almost noon!" the system replied honestly.
"Speak human language!"
"There are 40 minutes until 12." The system felt a bit wronged. It must seamlessly switch between ancient tis and modern tis. If it doesn’t answer well, the host will say it’s not even as good as an elentary student.
How can the system tolerate that? It is determined to learn all human knowledge as Tongzi, how can it be stumped by sothing as simple as ti that even an elentary student knows.
It quickly learned, but... the host is really sothing else. One mont she wants to hear the ancient ti, the next mont she wants the modern ti.
It’s truly a headache... if it had a head.
Humans are so complicated!
Cheng Xiaoxiao clicked open the upgrade gift pack.
After a mont of flashing, large font and the sa dazzling fireworks popped up, congratulating the host on winning .
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the pure white down jackets in her hands, kind of liking them. Although they aren’t needed now, you never know when they might be useful!
But... why are all five the sa color and size!
How is she supposed to distribute them?
She tried them, they were much larger than her current build. If her dad wore them, they’d be a little tight, for girls, a little too big. The style is pretty conventional, unisex.
Oh well, she decided not to think too much, talk about it when they beco useful.
"How’s this, host? Much better than the last prize, right!"
"Barely passable!"
She casually tossed it into the warehouse.
Oh! The warehouse actually has 60 cubic ters now, not bad, not bad.
Cheng Xiaoxiao opened the door to see Dalan and Xiaolan busy, along with Dahua and Xiaohua helping, "Why aren’t you resting a bit more, how are your injuries?"
Both Dalan and Xiaolan shook their heads.
Dahua smiled slightly, "Much better!"
Xiaolan mysteriously pulled Cheng Xiaoxiao to the side and whispered in her ear, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you didn’t know this but yesterday Brother Dashan saved Sister Dahua and even carried her. His look at Sister Dahua was really tender. Do you think Sister Dahua should offer herself as thanks?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao, of course, knew what was going on, just didn’t expect Xiaolan to have seen it so clearly. Only Dahua seed oblivious, unsure if it’s disinterest or sothing else entirely.
Cheng Dashan was a really fine young man, should find a ti to ask Dahua. If she’s interested, she should open up. If not, it’s important to let him know!
You can’t just keep soone hanging; that would make you a heartbreaker like a white lotus.
"Such a lively crowd!" Cheng Hao hobbled in.
"Second Brother, what are you doing here!"
"What do you an, naturally I’m here to eat."
Later, Uncle and Big Brother ca carrying Yi Bai.
Cheng Xiaoxiao realized they had arranged to eat together here. She had just gotten up, completely unaware of the plan.
Very soon, Leng Er brought a bunch of people inside, making her ho feel even smaller and cramped.
After greeting Cheng Xiaoxiao, Leng Er moved to the right.
The four girls joined two large tables, Leng Er’s group used one, while their two families used another.
But Dongfang Xu insisted on sharing a table with Cheng Xiaoxiao, making everyone curiously observe the two.
Ahem!
Cheng Xiaoxiao embarrassedly said, "This is..."
