Chapter 294
Chu Zhiyi was not surprised by Lao Liu's proposal.
After all, after they pretended to be drunk last time, these people already had a good impression of Qiao Nian after hearing that he asked Aunt Chun to take care of them.
Today he told them Qiao Nian's identity, and naturally also told them about her experience. Everyone felt frightened and unbelievable after hearing this.
In addition, with Jing Yan's connection, they would inevitably have some pity for her.
But he didn't know beforehand that Lao Liu said he wanted to recognize his adopted sister.
So at the moment, he just looked at Qiao Nian and said calmly, "Lao Liu just said casually, if you don't want to, no one can force you."
"Yes, yes, I just said it casually, Miss Qiao, don't feel pressured."
They wanted to recognize her as their adopted sister, but they didn't ask her first if she was willing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lao Liu finished speaking, Qiao Nian burst out laughing, "Brother Six said casually, but I listened carefully."
Among the people of Jingguo, it was her honor that the legendary Tiger Guard recognized her as her adopted sister.
How could we not be happy about it!
When she said "Brother Six", the room exploded instantly.
"It sounds nice! This voice is so soft! You called me. Do you remember who I am?"
Qiao Nian thought for a while and then said, "Third brother."
"Yes, yes!"
"What about me?"
"Fifth brother."
The Tiger Guards are all orphans, without a father or a mother, let alone a sister.
After living for more than twenty years, this was the first time someone called them brother so sweetly, which made them extremely happy.
As a result, Qiao Nian called in a circle before giving up.
When he called Chu Zhiyi his eldest brother, Chu Zhiyi's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile, and then he took out a jewelry box from his arms and pushed it in front of Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian was stunned and took it.
But I heard the third child on the side exclaimed, "Brother, you are a thief! You prepared a gift for your adopted sister, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
As a result, they all came empty-handed!
Chu Zhiyi glanced at Lao San lightly and said, "That one belongs to her."
Qiao Nian had already opened the jewelry box and saw a jade bracelet inside.
The jade bracelet that had been broken long ago was now inlaid with silver patterns, connecting all the broken parts.
Unconsciously, Qiao Nian's eyes turned slightly red.
"Brother came into the town early today just for this matter?" To help her repair her bracelet?
Because you know that this bracelet is a heirloom of the Jing family?
Chu Zhiyi did not admit it, "I went to find out the information, so I just threw it to the master of the jewelry shop."
Speaking of this matter, everyone became serious, and Lao Wu immediately spoke, "Speaking of which, I have seen that wanted notice in other towns before. At that time, it was only the imperial list, and there was no strict investigation. But during this period, there were many more wanted orders, and government officials often came to question me. "
"It's really frustrating. We can only hide. If the tattoos on our bodies are discovered, how can we explain clearly?"
When they thought that the dignified Tiger Guard might one day be punished as a bandit, a group of people fell silent, and everyone was holding fire in their hearts.
Qiao Nian couldn't help but said, "Maybe this matter has something to do with me falling into the Changyang River."
She fell into the Changyang River because of the fleeing bandits.
Neither Xiao Heng nor Xiao He would let those bandits go.
Especially Xiao Heng.
If he still had the intention of imprisoning her, he would definitely want to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.
Thinking of this, Qiao Nian's hands clenched tightly unconsciously.
She didn't know how Xiao Heng could let her go.
Listening to what Qiao Nian said, the second brother on the side said, "Everyone, please be careful and don't show your tattoos. Anyway, we have lived here for eight years, so it is not easy to suspect us." Come on."
Having said this, the second brother looked at Qiao Nian again and said, "You don't have to worry. The portraits are only distributed in the town. They are not widely distributed. Several brothers living in the town will also help you keep an eye out if there is anything wrong." , we will notify you immediately.”
He was obviously the brother she had just recognized, but he had already begun to protect her.
A trace of warmth surged in Qiao Nian's heart.
She looked at her second brother and nodded slightly.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Today we have a sister. We are happy. Come on, eat more!" Lao Wu said, but felt something was wrong. "But you can't always call me sister? It's weird."
Qiao Nian lowered his head and smiled, "Brothers, you can also call me Nian Nian."
"Nian Nian, um, that sounds good! Do you like chicken legs? This is Fulai Inn's signature dish!" Lao Wu put the chicken legs into Qiao Nian's bowl, and the others followed suit and started eating lively.
Last time, they sat together so lively.
But at that time, she was still an outsider.
But she didn't expect that in just a few days, she had already integrated into it.
This feeling was quite subtle. Qiao Nian picked up the chicken drumstick brought by Brother Wu, took a big bite, and chewed it with satisfaction.
The tip of his nose felt a little sore, and there was an inexplicable surge of heat in his eyes.
But she suppressed him firmly, and then she raised her eyes and looked at her laughing brothers, and she also smiled stupidly.
She didn't realize that Chu Zhiyi saw her subtle reaction.
So, after the excitement died down and all the brothers left one after another, Chu Zhiyi couldn't help but ask, "Just now, why do you want to cry?"
Qiao Nian was startled, a little surprised by Chu Zhiyi's keenness, and then he curled up his lips and smiled, full of bitterness.
"I never thought I would have a brother in this life."
She was once abandoned by her own brother. During the three years of being bullied, she clearly realized that she no longer had a brother.
But today, she suddenly had eleven more.
No matter what the identity is, no matter what happens in the future.
Just now, at that moment, she was indeed moved by that feeling.
Chu Zhiyi smiled faintly and said, "Don't think too much, go to bed early."
After that, he left the house.
Qiao Nian looked at Chu Zhiyi's back and suddenly realized that the three words Chu Zhiyi said to her the most were, 'Don't think too much'.
Yes, the past is past, and the future is still unknown.
No matter how much you think about it, you can't change anything.
So why bother thinking about it?
That night, Qiao Nian slept extremely peacefully.
The next day, when she got up, Aunt Chun pushed open the fence and came in.
Seeing that Qiao Nian had woken up, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Bai Yu has already taken Fu Wang into the mountains and will probably come back at noon. What do you want to eat today? Auntie will cook it for you!"
Qiao Nian was a little full after eating last night. Now she couldn't think of what to eat, so she said, "I like to eat whatever Auntie does."
Aunt Chun was provoked to laugh again and again, but she suddenly stopped laughing, stepped on her feet and looked in the east direction, with a somewhat puzzled expression, "What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers here?"
Hearing this, Qiao Nian's face couldn't help but stiffen, and she limped forward hurriedly, following Aunt Chun's gaze.
A face suddenly lost color.
