Chapter 123: Leaving Somebody to Die?

“Juan!” Qiao Zhongxing furiously shouted. “Come back here.”

It was the middle of the night and they were somewhere unsafe, but she dared to walk inside the forest by herself? Qiao Zhongxing was truly angered half to death by his brainless sister!

Qiao Wenjuan ignored her brother and continued treading inside the forest in a huff with a scowl, ignoring her mother’s continuous calls of “Juan’er, Juan’er.”

Qiao Mu and Qiao Hu looked at each other, bewildered.

Their youngest aunt not only was headache-inducingly naive but also headstrong beyond cure…

Qiao Zhongbang frowned and had the children go to sleep before saying to Qiao Zhongxing, “Second Brother, go to sleep too. I will guard for the night.”

“Eldest Brother, then wake me up in the second half of the night.”

“No need. You must be very tired from driving for so long. I can endure it. Go to sleep then, we still have to rely on you tomorrow.” Qiao Zhongbang hastened his brother to sleep and conversed with Wei Ziqin before scurrying them all to rest.

Every once in a while, bird calls could be heard from inside the forest.

Qiao Zhongbang also frequently turned to look at the direction that Qiao Wenjuan departed.

As time flowed past and Qiao Wenjuan was still nowhere in sight, Qiao Zhongbang started turning anxious.

This sister of his was truly too immature! Qiao Zhongbang could not help but complain inwardly and also slightly grumbled about his mother’s unrestrained pampering toward his sister for spoiling her to be so ignorant.

In the dark of night, the slightly curved half-moon hung high up in the sky.

Everyone was sound asleep on a simple straw bed laid on the ground.

This entire day had been too tumultuous. Qiao Mu was still a child, after all, so her body would also feel tired after a while. Hence, she was also heavily asleep currently.
