Chapter 364 Liu Qiao Talks About the Past
"I'm stuffed."
After saying that, the silly girl hurriedly ran out the door.
Inside the room, Bai Xiumei and the other two looked at each other.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
Wang Gang spoke first.
"Minister Bai, Secretary Wang, don't you think Silly Girl and Sister Qiao look a bit alike?"
Gao Qiang watched the silly girl's departing figure and said something as if he had something to say.
After hearing Gao Qiang's words, Bai Xiumei also compared the two people's appearances in her mind.
"Yes, there is some. Little Radish mentioned it to me before, asking me to ask Sister Qiao. But I've been too busy lately, and I sent Sister Qiao out again, so I forgot about it."
"Do you think Liu Qiao and Sha Niu might be mother and daughter? After all, they look almost 7% alike. I don't believe they're not related at all."
I heard from Xiao Luo that Silly Girl was someone he picked up.
Upon hearing Wang Gang's words, the three people in the room exchanged bewildered glances, and the room fell silent once again.
"I'll go ask Sister Qiao."
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Xiumei quickly said those words and left the room.
Meanwhile, after leaving the house, the silly girl immediately began searching everywhere for Bai Luo's figure.
Meanwhile, Bai Luo was preparing to interrogate Itai Jujiro.
After midnight and a morning, Bai Luo felt that Itai Jujiro's face should be almost healed.
But as soon as Bai Luo arrived at the door of the room where Jujiro Itai and Yuji Ozawa were being held, he overheard the conversation inside.
"Commander, I'm so sorry for letting you down. I've failed Tianhuang's trust... Waaaaah!"
"Laughing tsk tsk, covering up the greasy stuff, it's greasy to the point of being greasy..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo turned and left, planning to come back to check on it later that evening.
As soon as Bai Luo reached the entrance of the cave, he saw Sha Niu frantically searching for something.
"Silly girl, what are you doing?"
The silly girl, who was searching for Bai Luo everywhere, turned around with joy upon hearing Bai Luo's voice behind her.
"Xiao Luo, could you ask Uncle Zhang for some information about Chun City?"
Bai Luo was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
"What do you need intelligence about Chun City for?"
"I want to help Da Niu, Er Niu, and Aunt Qiao get revenge."
"Liu Qiao is awake?"
"Yes, I'm awake..."
Silly Girl immediately steered the conversation back to the original topic.
"Xiao Luo, could you ask Uncle Zhang for it for me?"
"Okay. I'll contact him right away and ask him to bring it over when he comes this afternoon."
After Bai Luo finished speaking, he made a call to Zhang Qing. During the call, Sha Niu kept staring at Bai Luo's communication bracelet.
Only when Zhang Qing's voice came through the bracelet did he feel as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.
Silly Girl is simple-minded and her thoughts are always written on her face. Bai Luo only glanced at Silly Girl's expression and immediately noticed that Silly Girl was acting a little strange today. He recalled the recent events in his mind.
Suddenly, a person came to mind.
Liu Qiao.
So Bai Luo looked at the silly girl who was grinning foolishly and asked her directly.
"Silly girl, is Liu Qiao any relative of yours?"
The silly girl, who was happily grinning, froze for a moment after hearing Bai Luo's words. She looked up at Bai Luo and said with some hesitation.
"Aunt Qiao said she should be my aunt. She said my parents lived with me in Lian City many years ago, but they lost contact with me many years ago."
I don't know what my parents look like since I can remember. I was raised by Old Man Wang. I think my parents must be gone by now.
As the silly girl spoke, a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes.
Seeing this, Bai Luo raised his hand and rubbed the silly girl's head.
He comforted the silly girl.
Perhaps because the silly girl no longer had any memory of her parents, she quickly recovered from her disappointment.
After listening to Sha Niu's words, Bai Luo felt that Liu Qiao hadn't told Sha Niu the truth, and it seemed he would have to ask Liu Qiao himself.
Thinking of this, Bai Luo continued to ask.
"When did Aunt Qiao tell you about this?"
The silly girl looked up and thought for a while, counting on her fingers for a long time before finally making a "3" gesture towards Bai Luo.
At this moment, Bai Xiumei also arrived at Liu Qiao's house.
"Sister Qiao, are you feeling any better?" Liu Qiao was teasing Da Niu and Er Niu at the moment.
Upon hearing Bai Xiumei's words, he immediately sat up from the bed and replied to her.
"Chief Bai, I'm almost fully recovered. Are we preparing to head to Chun City? I'm ready to leave at any time."
Bai Xiumei quickly gestured for Liu Qiao to lie down, then sat down beside Liu Qiao's bed and slowly began to speak.
"Don't worry about Chun City. I came here to ask you something: what is your relationship with Silly Girl?"
Upon hearing Bai Xiumei's question, Liu Qiao's hand, which had been stroking the dog's head, froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
"Minister Bai, you noticed? That makes sense, after all, I look a lot like Silly Girl. But I'm not her mother, I'm her aunt."
As Liu Qiao spoke, a slight smile appeared on her lips, but she seemed lost in memories. It wasn't until much time had passed that she came back to her senses and continued.
"Minister Bai, I hate myself. If it weren't for my sister and brother-in-law, they wouldn't have taken the silly girl and left their hometown. Now I don't even know if my sister and brother-in-law are still alive."
However, I am certain that Silly Girl is my sister's child.
My silly girl has a crescent-shaped scar on her left arm; it's from when I accidentally burned her when she was little.
For this, I got a good beating from my dad.
As Liu Qiao spoke, her eyes slowly welled up with tears.
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"Back when I was about the same age as the current silly girl, near my hometown of Jinshi, I relied on my strength and skills to cause trouble everywhere with the idea of chivalry, but I soon kicked over the iron plate."
Once, I couldn't stand seeing a warlord's son forcibly taking someone else's newlywed wife, so I taught the young master a lesson. But I didn't expect to accidentally kill the warlord's son.
That was the first time I killed someone. I was terrified and immediately ran home to tell my dad what happened. I thought I was going to get a beating.
But my father just sighed, as if he knew I was going to cause trouble, and patted me on the shoulder before gathering everyone in the family to scatter and flee.
My brother-in-law took my sister and our daughter, who was under three years old and mentally challenged, to Lian City to stay with one of his uncles. I haven't heard from them since.
At this point, Liu Qiao couldn't hold back any longer and buried her head in the blanket, sobbing silently.
Seeing this, Bai Xiumei did not comfort Liu Qiao, but instead raised her right hand and gently patted Liu Qiao's back.
When Bai Luo brought the silly girl over, Liu Qiao's eyes were already swollen from crying.
Bai Xiumei also told Bai Luo what Liu Qiao had just said.
The silly girl beside her listened quietly, but her face remained expressionless, as if she were simply listening to a story.
After listening, Bai Luo glanced at the silly girl and then at Liu Qiao sitting on the bed.
After exchanging a glance with Bai Xiumei, the two slowly left the room.
After Bai Luo and Bai Xiumei left the room, Liu Qiao looked at the silly girl in front of her who looked very much like her sister.
Liu Qiao's face was filled with sorrow and deep guilt. She seemed unable to meet Sha Niu's gaze and quickly lowered her head before speaking.
“Silly girl, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, your parents wouldn’t have left for a distant place, and you wouldn’t have been separated from them, causing you so much suffering.”
Silly Girl shook her head upon hearing this.
"Aunt Qiao, it's not your fault. You killed a bad guy, that's right."
After hearing what the silly girl said, Liu Qiao looked up in disbelief. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the silly girl continue.
"Moreover, I didn't suffer. I was adopted by Old Man Wang when I was old enough to remember things, and when I got a little older, I helped him raise donkeys and farm."
Although he often calls me a glutton, he makes sure I don't go hungry every day. Even though I rarely get to eat my fill, he gives me his best.
Later I met Xiao Luo, and back then I could eat my fill every day. My aunt also doted on me and cooked my favorite braised pork for me. Aunt Qiao, I wasn't suffering. And it's not your fault.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiao jumped off the bed, grabbed the silly girl in her arms, and burst into tears.
