Chapter 4 Are you not stupid anymore?

Qiao Ran drove the carriage and nimbly dodged various bushes and rocks, and finally got out of the woods and onto the flat official road.

Not long after entering the official road, Qiao Ran discovered two figures, one large and one small, running towards her not far ahead.

The other party only glanced at the woods on both sides wholeheartedly and did not pay attention to the carriage.

Qiao Ran heard the two people calling to the woods on both sides. One shouted: "Mother! Sister!"

One shouted: "Sister-in-law! Cuihua! Ranran!"

Qiao Ran knew that the other party was here to find her and her mother.

"Shut up!"

Qiao Ran stopped the carriage, and the two people ran closer, and then they discovered Qiao Ran on the carriage.

"Ran Ran?"

"elder sister!"

They both ran over in surprise, looked at Chen Huiniang who opened the curtain on the carriage, and exclaimed each other.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Mother!"

Qiao Ran saw that the people coming were a tall and thin man and a boy about eleven or twelve years old, and recognized them. They were the second uncle Qiao Erhe and the eldest brother Qiao Dong of the original owner.

Both of them were very surprised as to why they had a carriage, and why was Qiao Ran the driver?
"Sister-in-law, what are you...?"

Qiao Erhe was full of questions, but he didn't ask Qiao Ran. Anyway, she didn't have a good mind and couldn't give an answer, so he asked his sister-in-law directly.

Chen Huiniang had just recovered from a series of accidents. She had mixed feelings for a while and didn't know where to start.

It was Qiao Ran who said, "Second uncle, Xiaodong, you come up first, and we'll talk after we go back."

Qiao Erhe looked into the carriage and saw that there was no one else inside. He asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law, have you seen Cuihua? She doesn't know where she went. It's so late and she hasn't caught up with everyone."

Qiao Ran and her mother looked at each other. Chen Huiniang looked at this brother-in-law and didn't know what to say.

Qiao Ran thought that her second uncle and others must not know that Li Cuihua wanted to sell her. She didn't want to elaborate here, so she said: "Second uncle, I know where second aunt is. Let's go back first and then I'll follow you." Please elaborate!"

Qiao Erhe was worried about his wife's safety, and wanted to ask for details, but saw that his niece was injured on the forehead. Although the bleeding had stopped, the blood on her face was quite scary.

No, why did Ran Ran speak so clearly just now?
"Ran Ran, are you not stupid anymore?"

Qiao Erhe asked what he was thinking immediately.

Qiao Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Is this second uncle so upright?Is this polite to say so?

However, she was an elder, so she could only answer patiently: "Second uncle, I'm not stupid anymore. Let's go back first. I'm afraid grandma and the others will be worried."

"But your second aunt..."

Qiao Erhe still wanted to ask for news about his wife, so Qiao Ran directly pulled him onto the carriage shaft and sat on it, putting the reins and riding whip into his hands.

Then he dragged his brother up and got into the car together.

As a result, as soon as she entered the carriage, Qiao Ran fell headlong into the carriage before she could even sit down.

"sister!"

"Ran Ran!"

Qiao Dong was startled. He moved quickly and grabbed his sister's arm.However, she was caught off guard, and Qiao Ran's head hit the carriage board with a "boom!" as she lost control of the pull.

Chen Huiniang was also very frightened. She quickly stood up, and together with Qiao Dong, she pulled Qiao Ran up and helped her to the seat to sit down.

However, he saw that the wound on Qiao Ran's forehead that had stopped bleeding started to bleed again under the impact.

Chen Huiniang hugged her daughter tightly and covered her wound with one hand, her hands trembling in panic.

Blood flowed out from between her fingers, down Qiao Ran's cheek, and soon reached her neck.

"Mom, what should I do? My sister is bleeding a lot!"

Qiao Dong looked at his sister's face covered in blood and was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.

Chen Huiniang was also extremely panicked. She hurriedly tried to cover the wound. She panicked and urged the stunned Qiao Erhe: "Second brother, hurry up! We have to go find the old village chief!"

There was no doctor in the escape team, and the old village chief barely knew some medical skills. He would definitely be able to stop the bleeding and bandage Ran Ran.

Only then did Qiao Erhe come back to his senses. He could no longer care about anything else and whipped up his whip to drive the carriage very fast.

Fortunately, the fleeing team was not very fast as they were dragging their families. Their carriage quickly caught up with the team.

It was getting dark, and the team had stopped by the roadside, preparing to spend the night.

The carriage rushed directly to the resting place where the Qiao family was. As soon as the carriage stopped, the Qiao family all gathered around.

"Erhe, where did you get the carriage? You..."

Before Mrs. Qiao finished speaking, Chen Huiniang had already opened the carriage curtain.

She shouted eagerly: "Quick! Go find the old village chief! Ran Ran is injured!"

Only then did everyone see the unconscious Qiao Ran leaning on Qiao Dong in the carriage, and they were suddenly shocked.

When Qiao Nan heard that her sister was injured, she immediately turned around and ran to the place where the old village chief was resting, shouting as he ran: "Grandpa village chief! Grandpa village chief! My sister is injured, please go and take a look!"

This group of people fleeing the famine included Qingshui Village, where the Qiao family was located, and villagers from several nearby villages.

Everyone has been paying attention to the carriage since it appeared in the distance. After all, most of them are poor farmers. Such carriages are only owned by wealthy families in the city. They are all curious about the origin of the carriage.

Now that they heard that the silly girl from the Qiao family was injured, some people sat back without caring, some stood and watched the fun, and some came over with concern to ask about the situation.

Several boys from the Qiao family gathered around their sister, looking at her anxiously, but they didn't know what to do.

"Quick! Get some clean gauze! Bring the water bag over and wash Ran Ran's wound."

Mrs. Qiao quickly directed several young men to get water and gauze for later use.

The villagers sitting around and resting had different expressions when they heard this.

Water!In this drought year, something more precious than oil is a life-saving thing!
They were reluctant to drink it. They were so thirsty that their throats started to smoke, so they took a small sip of the rare thing to soothe their throats. This Qiao family was actually willing to use it to wash the wounds of a stupid big girl!

"What a family of fools! Water is so precious, but it was wasted by a fool! Hey, you want to lose face!"

One sarcastic woman curled up her lips and mocked.

When everyone heard the news, they turned around and realized that the woman was none other than Chen Huiniang's eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Chen Liu.

Chenjia Village is right next door to Qingshui Village, so when fleeing the famine, several villages agreed to go together. With the strength of the crowd, they would not be robbed by other villagers or bandits on the road.

A woman from Qingshui Village sitting not far from Chen Liu was unhappy after hearing this and sneered: "That's not stupid! But we people in Qingshui Village are humane, unlike some people who are afraid that others will not Knowing how cold-blooded and vicious she is, she just doesn’t care about her niece when she’s injured, but she still has the nerve to be sarcastic here, is she still worthy of being a human being?”
