Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 133: Everyone Is Present

Erya was touched and wiped her tears on the side; the little brother was so understanding and adorable.

Upon hearing the youngest son say this, Mr. Cheng felt even more heartache.

He secretly resented his own uselessness; just like last night, he couldn’t even withstand one round and got kicked unconscious. How could he protect the children?

He clenched his hands tightly, his eyes reddened, looking as if he was guilty of a grave sin.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought to herself, this isn’t good, did I hit too hard, ending up going overboard?

Quickly, she persuaded, "Dad, we’re a family, we should support each other. I’m the eldest at home, how can we rely on you alone to hold everything up? We must work together, shine and excel in our areas of expertise."

Meeting Mr. Cheng’s gaze, Cheng Xiaoxiao encouraged, "Dad, you’re suitable for logistics, um! That means taking care of our siblings’ daily life. In the future, leave the battles to your daughter. Now your daughter is very powerful; I promise I can punch and kill a tiger with one blow."

Seeing his daughter like this, Mr. Cheng was moved to tears and was at a loss for words.

Cheng Chudong joked and reassured from the side, "Second brother, don’t listen to Xiaoxiao’s nonsense. Tigers are in deep mountains, the village is very safe, there’s no need for charges or battles, really messing around."

Uncle laughed too, "Indeed, indeed, Xiaoxiao, don’t scare your dad. Now that the bandits are dealt with, the biggest crisis has passed; the village will be fine from now on."

Cheng Xiaoxiao shyly touched her nose, everything she said was the truth, but alas, no one believed her.

Only Cheng Hao looked gravely at Cheng Xiaoxiao’s helpless expression, wondering if Xiaoxiao knew something again?

Suddenly, Cheng Xiaoxiao stood up, interrupting Cheng Hao’s thoughts.

The girl extended the back of her hand with clenched fists.

"We are a family, and no matter what happens in the future, we will advance and retreat together."

The children understood immediately, each extending their small fists.

Uncle’s family looked at one another, thinking of the previous brutality of the bandits, "Yes! We’re included too, everyone advances and retreats together!"

The whole family, except for the aunt whose arm couldn’t move, gathered around the table, shouting slogans with their fists, even the infant lying by the side agreed with cheerful babbles, making everyone’s smiles even brighter.

Directly dazzling Leng Er and his group next door.

They were mostly orphans, having never felt family affection; those with childhood memories were filled with calculations and exploitation, and they had never seen such a harmonious and caring family.

Outside the majority of families couldn’t treat their children equally, daughters generally held a low status at home, usually serving as servants.

But in Qingshan Village, they didn’t find this phenomenon; in contrast, boys seemed to receive more scolding.

Unknown to Leng Er and friends, because Cheng Xiaoxiao was too outstanding, the village boys seemed more useless by comparison, thus receiving more scoldings from elders.

Envious but unable to replicate, Leng Er could only quietly devour his meal.

Nowadays, the outside was full of desolate ruins and bloody slaughter; Qingshan Village might be the only pure land in the whole Yanzhou County, devoid of corpses or treachery, and cleanly contrasting this chaotic world.

No clue what the Pavilion Master plans next.

At this moment, Cheng Chudong hunched over and whispered, "Xiao, did you receive some divine enlightenment?"

In recent days, everyone witnessed Cheng Xiaoxiao’s changes since she fell into the water, everyone indulged her as long as she was okay; she had indeed become more cheerful, lively, smart, and insightful.

Li Qiuchan agreed with a nod, "Xiaoxiao, you’ve been blessed, even King Yama wouldn’t dare to collect you, proving that surely a deity saved you, granting you the ability of foresight dreams, giving you the chance to become stronger."

Everyone pondered, thinking that all Cheng Xiaoxiao’s changes stemmed from her fall into the water, perhaps it was truly divine bestowed ability.

They self-persuaded, indeed it was true, Xiaoxiao had divine guidance, of course, she was extraordinary and capable.

Cheng Hao sighed; the whole family adored Xiaoxiao, never thinking of ghostly possession, only hoping in the direction they desire, being tolerant to this motherless and unfortunate child.

No matter what, the family’s current happiness was all that mattered.

Cheng Xiaoxiao could only silently nod.

After all, ancients strongly believed in ghost stories, believing in karma and reincarnation.

If it was said she was sent by a deity to save mankind, they might believe it, but if revealed she was a consciousness from thousands of years in the future, they might suspect she’s a demon.

So, their happiness was all that mattered!

In the afternoon, Leng Qi led a group arriving at Qingshan Village.

As they reached the village entrance, a villager fetching water greeted him, "Coach Leng is back!"

Leng Qi nodded slightly to respond, a figure suddenly dashed forward, Leng Er’s expressionless face briefly showed a shallow smile, "Second brother!"

Then he amiably punched Leng Er on the chest.

Cough cough!

Unexpectedly, Leng Er directly stumbled back two steps.

Leng Qi noticed something amiss and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, what’s wrong!"

"I’m fine!"

How could he be fine, with such a pale face, the injury must be serious.

"Really nothing; now that you’re back, we should withdraw as heroes, please inform Miss Cheng."

After finishing, he directly led the group away swiftly.

Leng Qi wanted to say more but it was already too late.

The villagers who came out to explore the commotion stretched their necks to peer, seeing Coach Leng returning, along with Qi Fei who left days ago, followed by a group of beggars.

Everyone was puzzled, waiting for Leng Qi to approach; after warmly greeting him, they asked in confusion, "Coach Leng, who are these people?" The first to speak was Cheng Zhengqing.

"Second uncle, second uncle!"

Limping, Cheng Jinxing stepped forward, hair disheveled, frame thin, clothes ragged.

He pushed aside some blocking strands of hair, revealing a somewhat dirty face; Cheng Zhenglian was astonished, this gaunt face was indeed his elder brother’s second son.

Wah wah wah!

He finally reached home, finally seeing family.

Even though he never quite liked this second uncle before.

For a moment, the surrounding villagers grew more numerous, everyone chattering and asking the reason.

Wasn’t the village head’s second son working as a Shopkeeper in town?

In Qingshan Village, he was definitely someone notable; how had he ended up in such a downtrodden state?

When the village chief’s family arrived, the whole family cried together, villagers curious to ask had no way to speak.

Everyone was eager to know, unable to get information from Cheng Jinfu, eyes turned to Qi Fei and the other strangers.

A quarter of an hour later...

Villagers collectively froze; they thought yesterday’s bandit looting was tragic enough, unexpectedly the outside had turned into a living hell, leaving them incredulous.

At that moment Cheng Xiaoxiao arrived.
