The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Just when Qiao Xi was at a loss, suddenly a mechanical voice entered her ears.

Qiao Xi frowned. Why did this voice sound so familiar?

Ah! After thinking for a moment, Qiao Xi realized that this machine voice was the last voice she heard in the time machine.

Qiao Xi didn't answer immediately, but looked around. Seeing that there was no one else around, she dared to speak.

"System, can you first tell me what the primary function can do?"

If something goes wrong, she might as well refuse to open it.

【Host, the primary function of the system is the primary positioning function.】

Positioning? So good? Qiao Xi was surprised. It really came true.

"System, start navigation."

[Yes, host. Navigation is now enabled. Please state your next instructions.]

"Can you tell me how to use it first?" she asked quickly.

[The host only needs to tell the place you want to go, and the system will automatically search for the route and navigate. ]

Qiao Xi said almost immediately, "To my mother-in-law's grave."

[Please tell me your mother-in-law's name, otherwise the system cannot navigate. ]

"Chen Xiangyu!"

[Excuse me, host. There are 233 cemeteries named Chen Xiangyu in this world. Which one would you like to go to?]

Hearing this, Qiao Xi rolled her eyes and couldn't help but complain in her heart: OK, it really is the primary positioning.

"I'm going to the nearest one."

Her mother-in-law should be buried nearby.

[Okay, the system has selected the best route for you. Please follow the navigation instructions. First, please walk 500 meters straight ahead.]

Qiao Xi followed the instructions and walked 500 meters straight ahead.

[Next, host, please walk 700 meters to your left.]

Once again, Josie followed instructions and drove off.

……

[The destination is fifty meters ahead. This navigation is complete. The system will shut down in ten seconds. If you need it again, just ask to start navigation.]

Then Qiao Xi stopped hearing the system sound.

After following the navigation for about a quarter of an hour, Qiao Xi looked up and saw a cluster of fire and a familiar figure not far away.

There was only a small grave mound in such a large piece of land. Xu Yi knelt in front of the grave, looking very small and giving people a feeling of loneliness.

If it weren't for her, at least he still had his mother. They say where there is a mother there is home, but everything seemed to have been messed up by her sudden arrival.

Sad emotions welled up in my heart.

Qiao Xi didn't bother to learn more about the functions of the system. She straightened her clothes and walked quickly towards the cemetery. At the same time, her eyes turned red and tears filled her eyes almost instantly. She started crying after taking only two steps.

According to custom, this is called mourning, which is to let the deceased know that their family members are reluctant to let them go.

"Grandma, Xi'er is here to see you. Have a safe journey, grandma, wuwuwuwu..."

Josie cried and shouted.

When she arrived at the cemetery, her crying became quieter and turned into soft sobs.

Her crying was quite loud, and Xu Yi noticed her coming when she was still some distance away.

His brows were furrowed, and his face was unhappy. But Xu Yi suppressed his unhappiness, because he didn't want his mother to see those things at the grave.

Qiao Xi naturally saw Xu Yi's displeasure, but he did not drive her away, so Qiao Xi was very content.

She didn't expect Xu Yi to take the initiative to greet her, so she picked up the paper next to her and started burning it.

Qiao Xi continued to cry even as the paper burned in her hand. She didn't stop crying until the paper was burned out.

She was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring her handkerchief. Her face was full of tears, so Qiao Xi had to wipe the tears from her face with her sleeve.

"Haha, you're pretending pretty well!"

She had just wiped it clean when she heard Xu Yi's sarcastic remarks to her.

After crying for so long, he actually suspected her of faking it. Qiao Xi felt a little dissatisfied and subconsciously fought back, "I'm really sad, not faking it. How can fake crying be so sincere?"

After saying that, Qiao Xi saw Xu Yi narrow his eyes. The horrific memory of last night suddenly reappeared in her mind. Qiao Xi immediately lowered her head and dared not look at him or say anything.

Seeing her like this, Xu Yi's eyes were filled with even more contempt, and his tone was as cold as frost and snow, "Since it is true and sincere, then sister-in-law must show it well."

Xu Yi stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something. He stopped and looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Sister-in-law, due to health reasons, was unable to see mother off a few days ago. To show your filial piety, sister-in-law, please kneel in front of mother's grave for three hours. This way, mother's spirit in heaven can also feel your filial piety. Sister-in-law, what do you say?"

Hearing him say this, Qiao Xi was so shocked that she forgot her fear. She raised her head and looked at Xu Yi in disbelief, but she couldn't say a word to refute for a long time.

She was the one who scared the person to death, and she even missed the opportunity to wear mourning clothes for him. It was really unacceptable, so she lowered her head.

"My brother-in-law is right. I didn't fulfill my filial duty to my mother-in-law, so it's my fault. I knelt in front of her grave for several hours, as an apology to her spirit in heaven."

As she said this, in order to prove her piety, Qiao Xi knelt down without hesitation and even kowtowed three times.

I thought she would find an excuse to shirk, but I didn't expect her to kowtow and kneel so neatly. Xu Yi had to swallow the sarcasm that was on the tip of his tongue.

"Yan Zheng still has some things to take care of, so he won't kneel with his sister-in-law."

After saying that, Xu Yi flicked his sleeves and left.

Qiao Xi's body was tense, and she knelt straight. She didn't relax until she could no longer see Xu Yi. She felt that the sense of oppression around her had completely dissipated.

I couldn't help but think: He is still just studying and has not yet entered the official career, but his aura is so strong. If he enters the official career and is immersed in the officialdom, what will happen?

……

The sun was at its highest point, and Qiao Xi had just recovered from a serious illness, so she couldn't stand kneeling for so long.

She only lasted half an hour before her body began to shake.

Qiao Xi felt a little regretful and cursed herself for being stupid.

Why should she care about her backbone at this time? She can just say whatever she wants when someone criticizes her. It won't cost her anything.

The key point is, if she died kneeling here, wouldn't it seem that the old lady's death was not worth it?

After thinking this through, Qiao Xi decided to take some time off.

Seeing that there was no one around, he simply stood up and walked to the nearby tree to enjoy the cool air.

As soon as I sat down, I found a larger leaf to fan myself. I had just drunk two bowls of water before coming here. The weather was too hot and I started to feel thirsty again.

Qiao Xi was thinking about finding some water to drink, and just as she stood up, she suddenly slapped her forehead.

Isn't now a good time to get to know the system well? Why did she just think of it?

After a brief thought, Qiao Xi said, "System, what do you mean by primary positioning?"

[Primary positioning refers to the most basic function of the positioning function, that is, the host needs to go to a certain place, and positioning will find all the places in the world that meet the requirements.]

[Of course, if the primary function is upgraded, the positioning function will also be upgraded.]

Qiao Xi was delighted. "What difference will it make if I upgrade?"

【After the upgrade, the positioning will be more accurate and the types of items included will increase.】

"for example--"

For example, currently it can only locate a specific location you specify. If it's upgraded, it will be able to locate animals, plants, and people, even those that are moving. And the host doesn't need to make a choice; the location will automatically identify them.

"That's good." Qiao Xi stroked her chin with satisfaction. "How do I upgrade?"

【Upgrade depends on the host's contribution to the system. The more contribution, the faster the system upgrades.】

"Besides positioning, does the system have any other functions?"

[So far, the system has only enabled this function, but there is a hidden area in the system. The hidden area has not been opened, and the system cannot detect its function.]

Qiao Xi's eyes lit up, "Then how do I activate the hidden function?"

[Currently unknown. However, the system is activated by the host's strong expectations, so it is speculated that the hidden area also needs to be activated, but the specific activation is still unknown.]

"Didn't you just mention leveling up? If you reach a certain level, will you be able to unlock the hidden area?"

【Yes. 】

Qiao Xi nodded and then asked the last question, "How can I get contribution points?"
