Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction
Chapter 27 Anxious
Xia Qingshu looked at his younger sister and sighed inwardly. Sure enough, girls, whether they are older or younger, are all so unreasonable.
His hand was hurting from being pinched so much; his sister liked to pinch his hand whenever she was unhappy. Now, in her anxiety, she pinched even harder.
"Alright, alright, stop pinching, stop pinching. I'll carry you to find Mom and see if she can find Dad." Xia Qingshu sighed. There was nothing he could do; only their mother could handle his little sister's tantrums.
Xia Qingshu was assigned to stay home and look after his younger sister today. The villagers went up the mountain to catch fish, and his mother is currently helping to dry the fish at the threshing ground.
Because there was no water left in the village, the men went up the mountain to catch the fish, processed them there, and then brought them back.
They don't use the term "scaling fish" anymore; they just remove the gills, gallbladder, and liver, and the rest is edible.
The village chief told everyone that after the fish were cleaned, they would be counted by the fish. Once the final number was obtained, they would see how many fish each family would get. This was to be distributed by household, and making a fuss wouldn't work.
Liu Fangmei's assigned task was to help at the threshing ground to clean the fish, place them in prepared wooden basins, sprinkle them with a light layer of salt, and then have someone carry the baskets back up the mountain.
There are also a few straightforward older women here helping to watch over the fish, to prevent anyone from stealing them beforehand.
When they arrived, they found the two of them talking to Aunt Liu from the village. Xia Qingshu quickly ran over, carrying his younger sister on his back, not caring about the strong fishy smell.
Xia Yutang, who was on his back, felt nauseous. Her older brother had been jostling her all the way, and the overwhelming fishy smell made her think she would have fainted if he hadn't secretly put some Tiger Balm in front of her nose.
"Ji Xuan's family, your Shi Tou is here. The smell here is too strong. You should go and check on him. Otherwise, the children will run over here and feel uncomfortable..." The old man standing opposite Liu Fangmei saw the two little ones running over and quickly pushed Liu Fangmei to go over first.
"Hey, Aunt Wu, I'll go over and see what they're up to. You two stay there and don't come any closer, it smells awful here..." Liu Fangmei noticed her youngest daughter's uncomfortable frown, so she quickly wiped her hands on her apron, took it off, and then went over.
"Mother, Third Grandmother, Fifth Grandmother, and all the aunties, hello." Although she was standing quite far away, Xia Qingshu still greeted the several older women standing there.
"What's wrong with you two? Shitou, didn't I tell you to stay home and look after your sister?" Liu Fangmei didn't dare to touch her daughter. She hadn't washed her hands; she had only wiped them, and they were still sticky and dirty.
"Mother, my sister is anxious to find Father, but I... I don't know..." He really didn't dare to take his sister there, guessing that something had been discovered in that place, but Father hadn't revealed a word about it at home, so he dared not go now.
"Sweetie, what do you want with your dad?" Liu Fangmei looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression, seeing her anxious face, and wanted to ask.
Xia Yutang simply couldn't explain it at the moment; she was very anxious to find her father.
"Alright, alright, don't worry, let me think of a way. Come on, you two go back first, I'll go tell your fifth grandmother that I'll go back with you. I'll try to arrange a meeting with you, don't rush me..." Liu Fangmei couldn't understand what her daughter was gesturing, but she did have a way to find her husband.
The brother and sister had only walked a short distance when they saw the two of them take off their aprons and jog after them.
"You two go wait in the main room first. I'm going back to my room. I'll see if your father comes back for lunch in a bit." Liu Fangmei planned to go to Qingyuju to wash her hands. She couldn't change her clothes; she still had to work later, and changing would only make them dirty again. The fishy smell was too strong.
After returning to her room, Liu Fangmei locked the door and went straight back to Qingyu Residence. After washing her hands, she called out to her husband inside, not knowing if he could hear her, but it was the quickest way she could think of.
Her daughter is very anxious now; she must have something to tell her father. She's afraid that if she waits too long, something bad will happen and there won't be any way to undo it.
Xia Jixuan did hear it over there. Hearing that his daughter was very anxious, he quickly told someone to go to the room with the weapons first and not to touch the other rooms.
Xia Jixuan returned home as quickly as possible and saw that her daughter was already sweating profusely with worry, so she quickly called out to her.
Xia Yutang, who was originally immersed in her own world, came back to her senses when she heard her father call her. She hugged her father and burst into tears.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Tell Daddy what's wrong. Don't cry, don't cry, sweetie, Daddy's here..." At this moment, no one noticed that she had made a sound until Xia Yutang herself realized that she had cried out and called out "Daddy" with some surprise.
The sound startled everyone. Xia Jixuan looked at his daughter, his voice trembling slightly, and said, "Tangtang, you can talk now? Dad knew my Tangtang was the best..."
"Father, those... jars, yellow mud... wind-sealed jars, are poisonous, they can kill people..." Xia Yutang stammered as she first told her father about calling him back, explaining that the virus inside was terrifying.
Xia Jixuan didn't have time to ask his daughter what happened. He found out from somewhere, shoved his daughter into his eldest son's arms, and ran off as fast as he could.
He still has dozens of comrades-in-arms in that place. Since it's so dangerous, he has to deal with things there first.
The weapons had been moved, and Xiong Ying was leading his men to open the locks and see what was inside. Since they had no barbed wire or hairpins, they could only try to pry the locks open with bayonets for the time being.
"No need, I can handle it." It only takes Xia Jixuan less than half an hour to run home and return here.
Because of the bomb found in the previous room, they had no way to estimate what was in this room. They didn't dare use a knife to cut the lock, fearing it might create sparks and cause an accident.
They thought Xia Jixuan had gone home to get a hair clip or wire, but they found that he had nothing in his hands and simply crushed the padlock into several pieces with his bare hands.
Not only his own team, but also Xiong Ying and his team were all dumbfounded. They had never known that Xia Jixuan had such strength.
After training together for so many years, how did he manage to hide his immense strength?
"Wait a minute, let's open the door and let it ventilate before going in. It's been like this room hasn't been opened for a year; the air inside must be stale. And those jars, don't touch them yet. They're sealed so tightly; I'm afraid they might contain bacteria or viruses from their experiments. For our safety, I suggest wrapping these things in oil paper and straw to prevent damage during transport." Actually, using cotton quilts would be safest enough, but at this time of year, they don't even need clothes when they go out, let alone quilts. There weren't any...
