Chapter 164 Can the treasure bag save your life?

He looked at Aunt Three, who was sitting on a mat made of straw mats and thin quilts, feeding Xiao Ba and taking care of Qiao Bei and the other three little guys.

Qiao Ran made an excuse and wanted to go out alone.

"Grandma, the water in this stream is too dirty to drink. I want to go along the stream to see if I can find the source and bring back some clean spring water."

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she was a little worried: "Ranran, grandma is worried if you go out alone. Your third and fourth uncles are all catching fish over there. Otherwise, ask your third uncle to accompany you!"

"No need. Don't worry, grandma, I have the ability to protect myself, and I have fast feet. Finding someone to accompany me will only drag me down."

Qiao Ran's words were straightforward. She just wanted to let her family know that she was fully capable of protecting herself and not to restrict her actions in the future.

But after what happened last night, even though she knew she was very capable, Mrs. Qiao still felt a little uneasy.

"But there are tigers in the mountains. Who knows if there will be lions, leopards, wolves and blind bears? If you encounter one, you can run away. But if you encounter a group, how will you protect yourself? You should find a few more people. Let’s go with you!”

Qiao Ran knew that grandma was frightened by the big tiger last night and was worried about going out alone.

In order to be able to move freely in the future, Qiao Ran decided to tell the truth to the old man.

She leaned over and whispered in the old lady's ear:

"Grandma, let me tell you a secret. Now I can hide in the treasure bag that the old god gave me! If there is danger, I will hide in the bag. No one can hurt me. Don't worry!"

The old lady's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on her face: "Is there such a strange thing? Can a person get into a treasure bag? Isn't that the old god who packed things for you?"

Qiao Ran explained seriously: "It's true. There is a lot of space in that bag. There is land, houses, chickens, ducks, sheep, rabbits, etc. The food I bring to my family is all taken from that house. .When I encounter danger, I can go into the treasure bag and hide, and no one can find me. When the danger is over, I will come out again, and then I will be safe."

Mrs. Qiao was shocked when she heard that her granddaughter's treasure bag had such a life-saving effect. It took her a long time to digest such incredible information.

She looked around nervously and whispered to her granddaughter:

"Ran Ran, this is your life-saving treasure, but you must never let anyone know about it except me and your mother! Remember, don't tell anyone! If outsiders know about such a god-given magic weapon, Grandma can’t even imagine how much danger it will bring you. Never tell others about the treasure bag in the future, never!"

Qiao Ran looked at the very serious old lady, her nose felt sore, and she nodded sharply: "Yeah, grandma, I understand. I won't tell anyone except you and my mother. Grandma, don't worry and let me Did you go out alone?"

Since her granddaughter has such a magic weapon, what else does Mrs. Qiao have to worry about?

"Go ahead. But you still have to be careful. Be sure to pay attention to your surroundings. Hide immediately if you are in danger. Don't go head-to-head with those ferocious beasts."

"Okay grandma, I'll go out then. You and the third aunt can just wait here without worries!"

After Qiao Ran finished speaking, she picked up one of her wooden barrels and walked out of the cave.

By the creek not far from the cave entrance, there were many adults and children rolling up their trouser legs and happily catching fish with buckets and wooden basins.

There were bursts of exclamations and laughter, as well as the sound of people "plopping" into the water from time to time. As a result, the fish was often missed and water splashed all over the body, making other people laugh.

Seeing Qiao Ran walking over carrying a wooden bucket, many people waved and greeted her.

"Girl Ran, are you here to catch fish too? Come on, come on, there are a lot of fish here!"

"Ran Ran, come to me quickly. There are several fish here, but I can't catch them."

"Sister Ran! Sister Ran! Please help me catch this fish. It's too slippery. I couldn't catch it even after several attempts."

"Ran Ran, are you here to carry water? You don't need to do such heavy work, let me help you!"

Qiao Honglian, who was catching fish in the crowd with a basin, watched with jealousy as Qiao Ran was greeted warmly by so many people.

No one has ever been so enthusiastic to her!

Qiao Ran responded to everyone with a smile, then pointed to the upper reaches of the stream and said to everyone: "I want to go upstream to see if I can find cleaner spring water. This water is too turbid for people to drink."

As soon as they heard that she was going to find a clean water source, several people came over immediately.

"Then let's go with you. We can't let you risk it alone."

"Yes, we just killed a big tiger last night. Who knows if there are other wild beasts, big snakes, etc. Find a few more people to go with you!"

Qiao Ran quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, no. Don't worry, I won't go far. I'm not far ahead. I'll be back soon."

Qiao Sanhu and Qiao Sihai, who were catching fish, also ran over. When they heard that their eldest niece was going upstream, they insisted on accompanying her. Several young men from the village also enthusiastically said that they would go together. It would be safer if there were more people. .

Qiao Ran had no choice but to nod: "Okay, you follow me. But I walk faster, so I won't wait for you!"

"Okay, you walk in front, and we will follow behind. If there is any danger, we can rush over and help you."

So, six or seven people each picked up a thick wooden stick as a weapon and followed Qiao Ran.

However, they could barely keep up at first. After walking a few hundred steps, Qiao Ran's footsteps became faster and faster, and she unknowingly distanced herself from several people.

After a while, they couldn't even see Qiao Ran's back.

Several people chased after him, but they couldn't catch up.

"Strange, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Did he fall into the water?"

Liu Erniu, a young man in the village, said naively.

Qiao Sanhu slapped him on the head angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Ranran is not as stupid as you. She didn't say anything even if she fell into the water."

Another young man also said: "That's right. And Qiao Ran is so powerful, how could she fall into the water? It's almost as good as if you fell into the water!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Erniu really stepped on the air and fell into the rather fast stream.

"Plop!" There was a sound, and a large splash of water made several people's clothes wet.

"Ah, I really fell into the water!"

The young man who had just spoken, Zhu Tietou, exclaimed and quickly reached out to pull Liu Erniu down, who was washed away by the water in the creek and couldn't stand up for a while, but he couldn't catch it because his hands were slippery.

The swollen creek was flowing rapidly, and Liu Erniu's body was carried downstream by the current.
