I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Qiao Linshan was coaxing Qiao Linle, so she didn't move forward. The other older ones all took a few steps forward.

Qiao Linxi pointed to the two roads and explained: "If we want to bypass this city to the next city, there are two roads, here and here."

Qiao Linxi gestured with his fingers: "This should be a lake. From the map, this road is longer than this one. And this side should be a mountain road. Let's see which way is better."

"If there is a lake here, there should be water, right?" Qiao Linbao spoke.

"Not necessarily. It hasn't rained here for several years. The lake doesn't look very big, so it should have dried up long ago. Even if there is still water, it's not our turn. The area is suffering from drought for a hundred miles, and there must be many people fleeing famine. If there was water, it would have been occupied long ago."

"Of course, it could also be that there are fewer people fleeing famine, so we are lucky enough to still have some water to drink."

Qiao Linxi pointed to another road and said, "Since this is a mountain road and there is a forest, there might be wolves, tigers, leopards, etc. It is also dangerous. If there are rabbits or something like that, then we might be able to eat meat."

Qiao Linxi explained the pros and cons of both paths and let the children decide which path to take.

Although one road is not dangerous, it is half as long as the other road. Although the other road is short, it has some unknown dangers.

"Sister Lin Xi, just make the decision. We will all listen to you."

Qiao Linxi talked for a long time, and the children listened very seriously, but in the end he said this, letting Qiao Linxi make the decision himself.

"Yes, sister, just make your decision, we will follow you. Even if you encounter any problems later, we will not blame you."

Qiao Linqi rubbed his rumbling stomach. He was looking forward to the night. His sister said that when the stars came out, she would have magic power and could conjure up lots of steamed buns.

"Yes, Sister Lin Xi, we won't blame you."

"Then, let's take this road." Qiao Linxi pointed to the mountain road. "After years of drought, there must be only bare tree trunks in the mountains, and those herbivorous animals must have run away. Without herbivorous animals, then animals that feed on meat, such as wolves, tigers and leopards, may also run away."

Qiao Linxi was convinced by what she said. She asked the children to pack their backpacks, sickles and other things, counted the number of people, and then set out on the journey to escape the famine.

Before leaving, Qiao Linxi saw some people guarding the city gate wailing, but Qiao Linxi didn't care and took the children on his own way.

This was the luck of Qiao Linxi and the others, as they escaped the disaster because they did not grab the porridge.

The government added other things to the porridge distributed by the government, with the purpose of getting rid of the elderly and children who were relatively burdensome people.

As it was getting dark, Qiao Linxi looked at the map in his hand and knew that he would not be able to reach the next city before dark, so he had to find an open place to spend the night.

Because the weather is hot and it's not cold at night, if you sit in an open area and something dangerous happens, you can know it at the first time.

"The stars are so bright tonight." Qiao Linqi looked up at the starry sky.

Hearing Qiao Linqi's ambiguous words, Qiao Linxi couldn't help but slap the back of his head.

Qiao Linqi felt pain and covered the back of his head: "Sister, why did you hit me?"

"Don't be so cunning, kid."

"Hehe," Qiao Linqi pulled Qiao Linxi's hand and said, "Sister, I'm hungry. Do you have any magic power?"

"You're the only one who's hungry. We're all hungry too." Qiao Linshu came over, pushed Qiao Linqi away with his butt, and then hugged Qiao Linxi's arm: "Sister."

Qiao Linxi didn't say anything.

Qiao Linshu shook her arm again: "Sister, good sister, fairy sister..."

"Alright, alright." Qiao Linxi was a little dizzy after being shaken by Qiao Linshu, "Come around."

After saying that, Qiao Linxi took out a frying pan from his backpack.

In order to conceal his whereabouts, Qiao Linxi covered the backpack with a piece of rag. Everyone thought that the magical pot that could produce steamed buns had always been in the backpack.

Only Qiao Linqin, who was in charge of carrying the backpack, knew that she had always carried an empty backpack, with nothing in it. However, she did not tell anyone.

Qiao Linxi had eight steamed buns, but he only took out seven. He divided one steamed bun into three pieces, which equaled 21 pieces. He gave one piece to each person, and there was one piece left, which Qiao Linxi gave to the youngest, Qiao Linle.

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, Zhao Dongqing was very surprised: "I have a share too?"

"As you said, meeting is fate. My ability is limited, so I can only give each person a small piece."

Zhao Dongqing: "I am the one who caused you trouble."

Zhao Dongqing didn't know how the girl in front of him did it. Although the pot looked very strange, he didn't see any mechanism. He didn't understand how the girl could make the steamed buns appear out of thin air.

She was supposed to be hiding in her clothes, but today her clothes were torn and there was nothing inside. It was really magical.

"No." Qiao Linxi shook her head, looked at her brothers and sisters, and said, "I heard someone wants to eat candy?"

"I, I want to eat." Qiao Linshu immediately raised his hands high.

"And me." Qiao Linqi also raised his hand.

"Sister Lin Xi, I, I want to eat too." Qiao Lingji, a 10-year-old from his fourth uncle's family, blushed a little when he said this. He felt a little shy, as he had been thinking about the candy in Qiao Linxi's hand for the whole day.

Qiao Linxi didn't take it out, so he was too embarrassed to ask for it. His sister Qiao Linyi had already made a fuss, so he was too embarrassed to ask Qiao Linxi for it.

"Well, stretch out your hands and close your eyes. I'm going to cast a spell."

"Ok."

The dozen or so children were very happy. They didn't think Qiao Linxi might lie to them. They all believed Qiao Linxi. If Qiao Linxi said there was candy, then there must be candy.

All the children closed their eyes and stretched out their hands. Qiao Linxi took out the can of lollipops and handed one to each of them, reminding them: "Don't open your eyes until I tell you to, or it will affect your sister's spellcasting."

Zhao Dongqing turned his back when Qiao Linxi said she was going to cast a spell. He didn't expect Qiao Linxi to give him a copy. He just thought that maybe this little girl didn't want to expose her secret to an outsider like him.

"Okay, open your eyes." Qiao Linxi had distributed all the candies. The children were very obedient and only opened their eyes after Qiao Linxi gave the order.

"Wow, it's really candy, thank you Sister Lin Xi."

Another wave of thanks and another wave of gratitude points. Qiao Linxi quickly took it to draw a lottery. In addition to the wooden board, the system actually gave her a small bucket of 500 ml cooking oil.

"Mr. Zhao." Zhao Dongqing heard Qiao Linxi's voice, opened his eyes, and saw a little girl holding candy standing in front of him.
