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

Hearing this question, Qiao Linxi curled her lips and said, "No, it's their sister's birthday, not my birthday."

"Oh, Sister Lin Xi, you are saying that again." Qiao Linshan quickly interrupted Qiao Lin Xi and looked at Xiao Ji: "Brother Xiao, today is my sister Lin Xi's fifteenth birthday. It's a pity that we haven't found a lucky person to comb her hair."

"Fifteen years old..." When Tong Yu heard this, he covered his mouth and looked up and down at Qiao Linxi. Is this sure to be fifteen years old and not twenty-five?

Qiao Linxi's face was not much different from the previous one. Perhaps it was the grown-up Qiao Linxi. She was curvy and wild. None of the young ladies in Kyoto could compare to her. A fifteen-year-old girl who had just come of age would be this beautiful.

"A coming-of-age ceremony? That needs to be done properly, eh? Just now I heard Qiao Linbao say that your father is a rich young man from the capital. I wonder if he is from Master Qiao's family?"

There is only one family in the capital with the surname Qiao, and that is the Prince's Tutor. Having said that, if you look closely at Qiao Linxi's face, he really does look a bit like Tutor Qiao.

"Yes, it's the Taifu family. Lord Qin said that." Qiao Linshu answered Xiao Ji's words incoherently.

Xiao Ji only knew that Master Qiao had a son who ran away from home many years ago and had no news of him. He never expected that he would run to this remote place, get married and have children.

If Old Master Qiao knew that his son was not only alive but also gave him five grandchildren, he would probably be so happy that he couldn't stop smiling for days.

If these eighteen children all went to the capital, Old Master Qiao would definitely take them all in the Qiao family.

With eighteen or nineteen grandchildren, looking around, there is no other family in the capital city with such a large population.

"I think..." Qiao Linqi looked at Qiao Linshu with some concern: "We may not be the grandson of Master Qiao. The world is so big, there must be people who look similar. On the other hand, even if we are really the grandson of Master Qiao, he may not like us who grew up in the countryside. I heard that rich families pay attention to bloodline. Our mother is just an ordinary country girl. If we go to the capital, I'm afraid we will be looked down upon."

"You are stupid," Qiao Linbao patted Qiao Linqi's head, "We have an elder sister, right? We can make a lot of money, and you two brothers should study hard and take the imperial examinations. Then you can use your strength to tell Old Master Qiao that you are worthy of being his grandsons."

This was such a great point that Xiao Ji silently gave him a thumbs up.

"Ahem, if Miss Lin Xi can expand her business to the point where she is as wealthy as a country, I think Old Master Qiao will take the initiative to come to you and let you recognize your ancestry."

Xiao Ji had something else to say, the prerequisite is that you must really be his grandson.

The farce ended just like that. If Qiao Linshu didn't have a pig-like face, no one would have thought that such a harmonious scene would be preceded by quarrels, doubts, and fights.

Qiao Linshu also thought that the matter was over, but at night he realized that he had been overthinking.

That night, Qiao Linshu had a dream, a very long dream.

In his dream, they returned to Luoyue Village, back to the time after the bandit attack. He and Qiao Linqi squatted beside their dead parents and cried until their eyes were swollen, but their parents did not wake up.

"Lin Shu, let's bury our parents."

This time, it was not Qiao Linxi who said this but Qiao Linqin.

The eldest sister who always used words of gratitude to turn into food never woke up again. After they buried their parents, they buried the eldest sister.

The four siblings held hands and walked forward with the crowd. They had no idea what was ahead or what to eat.

"Brother, I'm so hungry..."

Qiao Linhua was only five years old, and her body had long been unable to bear it. Now she was so hungry that she could not even walk.

After a burst of noise, they saw another group of bandits coming from afar. They rode their horses into the crowd of people fleeing famine. The four siblings were separated by the crowd. Qiao Linqin took Qiao Linhua to hide aside, while he and Qiao Linqi were knocked to the ground by the horses.

This time the bandits came to rob the refugees. In addition to stealing some food, they also took away many young girls. Qiao Linqin and Qiao Linhua were also taken away.

He and Qiao Linqi tried desperately to chase him, but they couldn't catch up.

In a trance, he seemed to see several knights stripping Qiao Linqin of her clothes and lying on top of her to bully her. Her face was covered in blood from being beaten by those people.

Qiao Linhua had his hands and feet tied and was hung over the flames.

"Ah, God really doesn't give us any chance to live. If we had food to eat, we wouldn't do such a heartless thing. Human flesh doesn't taste good."

"Brother, save me..." Qiao Linhua looked at the flames below her in horror. She struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Qiao Linshu just stood there in a daze, looking at his sister in the blazing fire.

"don't want……"

With a scream, Qiao Linshu woke up from his sleep. He looked at the decorations next to him and realized that he was dreaming.

He raised his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly thanking himself: "Fortunately, it's just a dream. My sister and I are both fine."

Tonight is August 15th. The moon is very bright in the second half of the night. Qiao Linshu looked toward the window inadvertently and saw a woman in red staring at him under the moonlight.

"Ah..." Qiao Linshu screamed in fright and covered his head with the quilt.

He just saw the woman's face clearly, and it was exactly the same face that Qiao Linhua had in his dream, with fear, despair, and blood coming out of all her orifices.

"Lin Shu, what are you yelling about?"

Qiao Linqi, who was sleeping next to him, was woken up by Qiao Linshu. He opened his eyes in annoyance and saw Qiao Linshu shivering under the quilt.

"There's a ghost. There's a ghost outside the window."

"Is there a ghost?" Qiao Linqi listened to Qiao Linshu's trembling voice and turned his head to the window: "Huh? Fairy Chang'e? So beautiful."

The woman in red outside the door: ...

Qiao Linxi glanced at the two boys in the room and left. But she was secretly happy in her heart, thinking, you little brat, I can't cure you.

"How could the host be so evil? He used the time-travel box to let Qiao Linshu return to the day when the host traveled through time."

That's right, Qiao Linshu's dream was indeed caused by Qiao Linxi. Didn't this guy say that they could live well without her and Qiao Linxi? Then let's rewind it and let him go back.

Without Qiao Linxi, the four siblings did not survive more than seven days.

"Host, please don't smile like that. It makes you look bad. Host, you also know that the hosts selected by the system all have the koi physique, and they can protect the people recognized by the host."

Qiao Linxi suddenly realized, no wonder they had such a smooth journey, no matter what they set out to do, they could accomplish it, it turned out that this was called koi possession.

"This constitution works differently under different conditions. If the host just wants to survive, then everything will go smoothly."

Qiao Linxi: If I want to take the imperial examination, will I be able to pass it?
