Chapter 23 Working Together
Pregnant Qiao frowned slightly, thinking that this child's stubbornness was getting stronger again. It would be good to keep her by her side. She could still be considered a person of her own. It was just an extra set of dishes and chopsticks. She said to Xiao Qing: "Little
Qing, it’s not impossible for you to stay if you want.”
Xiaoqing immediately stopped crying and listened carefully.
Pregnant Qiao smiled and said: "You and I should treat each other as sisters just like we did in prison! And you don't have to call yourself 'slave family', it sounds unaccustomed to me."
Xiao Qing kowtowed with a bang, and her forehead immediately turned green and red. She said loudly: "Slave... Xiao Qing, thank you master!"
Xiaoqing kowtows, Pregnant Qiao's heart trembles, she rushes forward to help Xiaoqing up and says: "There's no need to call me master, you'd better call me sister!"
Xiaoqing nodded and said: "Xiaoqing, it's up to my sister's orders!"
Pregnant Qiao invited Skull Xiaogu and Xiaoqing into the room and asked Skull Xiaogu what his next plan was.
The blue soul fire flashed in the eyes of Skeleton Xiaogu, and he said with a little excitement: "Sir, Xiaogu has lost his job now... But even if he didn't lose this job, Xiaogu doesn't want to go back and continue to be a guide. Xiaogu wants to follow
By the adults' side, no matter what the adults do next, Xiaogu can be of help, please accept Xiaogu!"
Pregnant Qiao lowered her eyes. She didn't want to keep everyone by her side, but she was also plagued by problems, both internally and externally.
But she didn't want Little Skull to leave her. After all, since she came here, she had gotten to know Little Skeleton, and Little Skeleton had saved her life several times.
The relationship between her and Skull Bones is no longer just an ordinary friend, but a dependent relationship. But the more she cares about her, the less she dares to make a promise easily.
She doesn't want to harm others. She has nothing now, so what's the benefit of following her?
"You are all willing to follow me, of course I am willing!" Pregnant Qiao raised her eyes and looked at the skull, and saw that the skull opened its mouth wide with a cheerful expression. She glanced at Xiaoqing again, and Xiaoqing lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.
No words spoken.
"It's just that I have no money and no ability. It's okay for me to start a business from scratch with my bare hands. What the future will be like is even more unpredictable and life or death is uncertain. If you follow me, I'm afraid you will suffer hardships instead. Why bother?
!" Pregnant Qiao sighed.
"Plop!" Before Pregnancy Qiao could finish her words, Xiaoqing knelt down and kowtowed again. While kowtowing, she said, "Xiaoqing can go out and work to make money and support his master. I just ask the master not to drive Xiaoqing away!"
As soon as Pregnant Qiao saw Xiaoqing kowtow, her heart jumped. She pulled Xiaoqing up and said, "Since I said I would keep you by my side, I will never regret it. If I have to eat chaffy vegetables in the future, please don't complain."
. Never kowtow again from now on. When you have something to say, speak it out."
"Plop!" Xiao Qing hadn't solved it yet, and Skeleton Xiao Gu knelt down again, and Soul Fire said dimly: "Sir! You are willing to take Xiao Qing in, but you just don't want to take Xiao Gu in? What did Xiao Gu do wrong?
Xiaogu can be changed, please don’t drive Xiaogu away!”
Pregnant Qiao was about to cry, but she thought to herself: It’s not that I don’t want it, but I really can’t afford it!
Then he picked up Xiao Gu and said, "Xiao Gu, if you want to take back the errand, maybe we can find a way."
Seeing Xiaogu shaking his head desperately, he continued: "There is a reason why I don't let you follow me. As you can see, at this moment, I am also dependent on others..."
Pregnant Qiao then revealed the problems and difficulties she was facing to Skull Xiaogu and Xiaoqing.
After hearing this, Skeleton Xiaogu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, are you worried about these things?
The adults know nothing about the underworld. Xiaogu and Xiaoqing can slowly explain it to the adults. If Xiaogu and Xiaoqing don't know anything about it, we are willing to be your ears and eyes and help you find out the information.
If the adults are worried about money matters, Xiaogu still has some savings. Although it is not much, only ten taels of gold, it is enough for the adults to cope with it for a while.
As for the livelihood issue, it does need to be considered in the long term, and adults can just think about it slowly. From Xiaogu's point of view, these are not problems, and adults can't drive Xiaogu away because of these problems!" Xiaoqing also nodded in agreement.
Pregnant Qiao couldn't help but be a little surprised. How could Xiaogu solve the problem that had troubled her for a long time in just three clicks? It seems that the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. She was indeed blinded before.
Then he laughed and said: "Okay, then you two will stay with me. If there is any difficulty, we will work together to find a solution!" Skeleton Xiaogu and Xiaoqing were very happy and stepped forward to hug Pregnant Qiao.
Pregnant Qiao was also very pleased, thinking that from now on, she would no longer be alone in this strange world.
Pregnant Qiao took Skeleton Xiaogu and Xiaoqing to sit down together, and explained her many questions and confusions about the underworld.
Skeleton Xiaogu and Xiaoqing answered Pregnancy Qiao's questions without any hesitation.
Pregnancy Qiao's questions were scattered, with one sentence here and another here and there, but through Xiaogu and Xiaoqing's detailed answers, she roughly clarified the context and understood some basic conditions of the underworld.
It turns out that the beings in the underworld are so complex and diverse, which is beyond Yuqiao's expectation.
First of all, there are many native-born residents and little devils who have lived here for generations.
The ghosts who came from the Yang Realm need to re-enter the six realms of reincarnation. Whether they continue to be reincarnated or fall into hell and suffer, they cannot survive in the underworld.
Managing these ghosts from the Yang Realm is only part of the work of the beings in the underworld. Most ordinary people and little devils in the underworld need to engage in various jobs in exchange for money to support themselves if they want to live.
In addition to ordinary harmless residents and little ghosts, the skeleton family is also the largest in the underworld. The reason for their large number is that the skeleton family is very long-lived, and the shortest life span can reach as many as a thousand years.
The skeleton is now more than a hundred years old, but in the long lifespan of the skeleton clan, it can only be regarded as a child.
The strange thing is that although the skeleton clan was born in this land, their origins are very mysterious. No one has seen how they were born, and they themselves can't explain it clearly.
In addition, there are all kinds of elves and ghosts in the mountains, forests and deep in the swamps, which Pregnant Joe has never seen or heard of.
However, these spirits have their own territory, and generally they will not easily leave their territory. Even if they do, they will not harm others easily.
