1068: I’m Familiar with This

I’m Familiar with This

Under Xie Pinghuai's doubtful gaze, Xie Qiao led Xie Xi out the door.2

It was covered in snow outside.

However, the streets of the capital were relatively clean. There were people cleaning up the snow, so it did not hinder the passersby.

However, at such a time, there were many new ghouls.

Most of them froze to death.

The current dynasty could be considered to be peaceful. With the current weather, the government would send people out to patrol. One could almost guarantee that there would not be many frozen people on the side of the road.

Especially after the Crown Prince cleaned up the patrolling guards last year, it was peaceful inside and outside the city.

It was just that the old and the weak would not be able to survive the winter.

The number of ghouls was less than what Xie Qiao had seen at the Water Moon Temple.

"Eldest Sister, are we going out of the city? The roads outside are slippery..." Xie Xi frowned and said worriedly.

"It's not too far." Xie Qiao's voice was especially gentle.

Xie Xi was a little puzzled. She thought that her eldest sister just wanted to go out shopping to buy some things, but she did not expect that she would go out of the city... It was such a cold day, what if something happened?

Xie Qiao did not lie. After leaving the city, they walked for five miles and arrived at a City God Temple.

"We're here. Put on a cloak, take a hoe, and come with me," Xie Qiao arranged.

Xie Xi was even more confused.

Seeing her eldest sister get off the carriage before her, she did not want to stay in the carriage, so she jumped down too. She saw her eldest sister at the gate of the old City God Temple. She turned around and took a few steps to the right, then went straight forward, she counted as she walked. It was as if she was possessed.

It made Xie Xi a little scared.

She hid her head and followed behind her eldest sister. Her small steps were very nervous.

Xie Qiao suddenly stopped and in front of her was a big tree.

"This is it. Let's start digging!" Xie Qiao looked at the big tree and then said to her sister.

"Dig? What are we digging for?" Xie Xi was stunned.

What was wrong with her eldest sister... She brought her all the way here just to dig something…

She was so scared.

"We're digging a treasure chest." Xie Qiao was excited. "I will give you some of the things that I dig as new year's money. When we go back, show that brat that he must listen to his eldest sister!" 

Xie Qiao was serious. Then, she squatted down and started to dig.

This scene shocked Xie Xi.

Her eldest sister was actually squatting on the ground and digging a hole…

"Eldest Sister! Your body isn't well, let me do it! You, look at me, I'm like a calf... I'm strong. L-Let me do it!" She was a little anxious.

She was really afraid that her eldest sister would faint.

Xie Qiao smiled.

"I'm familiar with this job. I've done it a lot in the past. Don't worry, just do it." Xie Qiao was the most relaxed when she was digging the hole.

Her movements were slow. It did not seem like she was digging something, but more like she was embroidering. Her movements were slow. She stopped digging for a while and then looked around slowly.

Seeing her like this, Xie Xi could only let her do it. However, she did her best. It was as if someone was fighting with her for the soil on the ground. After a while, she was so tired that she was panting.

"What are you in a hurry for? It's still early. Just dig slowly. The things are right here. They won't run away." Xie Qiao knew that she was being kind, but she still deliberately joked.

The soil in Xie Xi's hand…

The skin on her body was dirty, and there was a lot of snow.

"If it's not something urgent, you have to be calm and composed. Just like you, you have to take your time to settle the score. You have to take your time. When others see you, they will think that you are powerful." Xie Qiao looked at this girl. She really liked her.
