Chapter 122 The almost forgotten Wu Qianqian

Those families finally left the team and continued towards Linzhou City.

The remaining people began to take stock of their luggage, preparing to bypass Linzhou Mansion and head north.

Xuanzhou County in the north is adjacent to Linzhou Prefecture. They not only have to bypass Linzhou Prefecture, but also Xuanzhou County to avoid being forced to stay by officials from these two prefectures.

Qiao Ran and her family were packing their bags, but a timid voice came from behind: "Sister Ran, you are not going to Linzhou? Then...then I can only say goodbye to you here, but I haven't repaid you yet. Your life-saving grace, how can I find you in the future?"

Qiao Ran turned around and saw Wu Qianqian, the poor girl who had been rescued from the bandits' stronghold.

Qiao Ran slapped her forehead and almost forgot about her!

It’s just that Wu Qianqian’s sense of presence is too low. Although she followed them down the mountain and stayed with the Qiao family all the way, except for that night when the refugees attacked, she bravely stood up to protect the Qiao family’s food. The quietness.

She silently helps Chen Huiniang cook, wash dishes, and do laundry every day. When she has nothing to do, she stays alone quietly and tries not to disturb others.

She was so quiet that Qiao Ran almost forgot that there was such a person, and that she said she would go home to get a banknote to thank herself after returning to Linzhou City.

Qiao Ran paused, thinking of the families who had just left, and wanted to ask Wu Qianqian to follow them back to Linzhou Fucheng.

However, thinking of the personalities of Huang Jincai and Liu Er, she gave up the idea.

However, she had saved the person, but if she was allowed to return to the city alone, it would be in vain.

A good-looking girl walking alone on the road would be in countless dangers even if there were not these refugees fleeing the famine.

Forget it, good people will do their best to send Buddha to the West, and send her back safely! As long as he is sent to Linzhou City, he has fulfilled his obligation.

Qiao Ran thought and comforted Wu Qianqian: "Don't leave in a hurry. I'll discuss it with your family and send you back. It will definitely be very dangerous for you to go alone. I don't want to save you in vain. I have agreed to do it." Give me a reward."

When Wu Qianqian heard this, she beamed with joy.

"Are you willing to go back to Linzhou City with me? That's great! Don't worry, I will definitely ask my family to come up with a banknote to thank you. Your life-saving grace cannot be repaid with just a few dollars, but I can only use these now Use common things to express gratitude.”

Qiao Ran smiled and said: "What is vulgar in your eyes is a life-saving thing for us poor people who don't even have enough to eat. Then let's just say this, wait for me and I'll discuss it with my family." .”

Qiao Ran turned to her grandmother, mother and three uncles to discuss her idea of ​​sending Wu Qianqian back to Linzhou.

"You want to leave the team and see Miss Wu off alone? Isn't this... too dangerous?"

When Chen Huiniang heard that her daughter was going to send Miss Wu back to Linzhou Fucheng alone, she couldn't help but asked worriedly.

"No, mother, look, what's the difference between me now and before?"

Qiao Ran let her family see her face.

Everyone looked at her face and found no difference!

"If you take a closer look, you really don't find anything?"

Qiao Ran secretly rejoiced that she was getting a little darker every day, and no one in her family noticed, let alone outsiders.

Qiao Erhe stared at his niece for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Ranran, you have grown taller! Moreover, you seem to be a little fatter than before. The old god made you learn to find food. Not only are you fatter, but our whole family is also fatter." I gained a lot of weight before!"

When Qiao Ran heard what her second uncle said, her face suddenly turned dark.

Second uncle, tell a girl that she is fat. If you were in the 21st century, you would be beaten!

Others nodded in agreement: "Yes, our family had never eaten so many good things before fleeing the famine, and it was rare to eat meat a few times a year. But since Ran Ran woke up, the meat our family has eaten during this period, But I eat more than I have in the past ten years. I feel like I have gained a lot of weight, and the loose clothes I wore before are now a bit too short."

When Qiao Ran saw that it was his fourth uncle who was speaking, he chuckled: "Fourth uncle, you have grown taller."

Others also said that they felt like they had gained weight, with happy smiles on their faces.

For these poor people who cannot eat meat a few times a year and are malnourished, being able to eat a little fat means they are blessed. They have no taboo at all and are very happy.

Qiao Ran didn't want to hear the word "fat" anymore. She also felt that she was a little stronger than when she first wore it, and her waist was almost gone.

"No, take a closer look! Can't you really see that I am different from before? Do I look good now?"

"It's beautiful! Our Ran Ran looks beautiful all the time."

The third uncle immediately praised his niece.

Only Chen Huiniang took a serious look at her daughter and suddenly said: "Ran Ran, why are you so tan? Is it because of the tan?"

Only then did everyone realize that Qiao Ran's skin color was darker than everyone else present.

Not only the face, but also the exposed arms and feet were dark, and when he opened his mouth to reveal two rows of big white teeth, it looked even darker.

Moreover, it seems that a few brown-black patches appeared on the face at some point, which looks dark and ugly. How can it be good-looking?

"Ran Ran, you...why have you changed like this?"

Qiao Sanhu looked at her eldest niece in horror, who was completely different from what he remembered. He never looked carefully and didn't understand why his eldest niece suddenly became so dark and ugly.

Others also looked at her in confusion, wondering how a person who was not as fair as Miss Qianjin but fairer than the girls in the village could tan herself so much in less than two months. black?

Seeing that everyone finally saw it, Qiao Ran smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about why I became like this. I'm just asking you, can anyone still like me if I'm so dark and ugly now? If Sister Wu is like me, It’s dark and ugly, wouldn’t it be much safer?”

Everyone was stunned and then realized that Ran Ran had disguised herself like this.

Mrs. Qiao muttered: "Although you can make yourselves look ugly, this is a lean year! If someone insists on taking advantage of you, even if you are extremely ugly, I'm afraid you will be coveted by the bad guys. ah!"

Chen Huiniang nodded: "That's right, people nowadays, no matter how beautiful or ugly you are, they dare to eat human flesh. Even if they don't eat it, they can make some money to buy rice and grain by selling you to slaves. You two girls live alone. How can we rest assured when we go on the road?"

Qiao Erhe said: "How about I take Xiaodong with you and send you there?"
