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

When Qiao Linxi pinched her, Qiao Linshan blushed and stammered, "No, no way. Who can I like? It's been so hard to escape from the famine, how can I have the heart to see anyone?"

"Really?" Qiao Linxi's question made Qiao Linshan even more embarrassed. She quickly tied up Qiao Linxi's hair and ran away.

"Tsk tsk..."

Qiao Linxi looked at Qiao Linshan who was running away and shook his head: "Are all children of this era so precocious? She already knows how to like someone at the age of thirteen. In my era, I would have cried if I burned my mouth while eating."

Qiao Linxi may not know that there is a term called premature love, which means that children entering puberty will develop a liking for the opposite sex.

It's just that in this era, if people fall in love with someone at the age of thirteen or fourteen, that's a lifelong thing. In civilized times, early love never leads to any result.

Qiao Linxi walked out of her room slowly and headed towards the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, all the children greeted her happily. This made her feel like a star.

"Good morning, have you washed up?"

"It's washed."

Qiao Linxi smiled and said, "You are so good. Watch the fire. I will go out and buy some steamed buns."

But when Qiao Linxi turned around, she was startled. There was someone standing there quietly behind her.

"Oh my God!" Qiao Linxi really didn't expect that the man would suddenly stand behind her.

"Girl, this is some meat, vegetables, and flour. The dumpling soup you made last night was delicious. I'd like to trouble you to make a bowl for my old lady this morning."

The male owner just came to deliver food to Qiao Linxi, but he didn't expect to surprise her. He looked at the dozen or so children behind Qiao Linxi and asked, "Is it convenient?"

“Convenient, convenient…”

After a pause, the male owner continued, "I will be back around 3 p.m. tonight, you see..."

"Then I'll prepare an extra one for you." Looking at the host's face, Qiao Linxi couldn't help but think of what happened last night. How did that crazy old man know that he was here? Could it be that the man in front of him was playing tricks?

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. You've already done us the greatest favor by letting us live here. How can you say it's hard work just for a bowl of noodles?"

The man glanced at Qiao Linxi and then left.

Qiao Linxi looked at the meat in the basket, her heart skipped a beat, and suddenly she thought of a scary story.

The story is about an old man who often sells meat. He sells venison, but there is no deer farm near the village, and the village is not next to the forest, so how could there be deer?

One day, an aunt wanted to buy venison, so she asked the old man, but the old man said he didn't have any and would have them in a few days. When the old man sold venison, he notified the aunt. The aunt's son was in college and was back for summer vacation, so the aunt wanted to buy some venison for her son to try.

But when she bought the meat, her son was missing. She looked everywhere and asked everyone her son knew, but no one said they had ever seen her son.

Later, a villager told my aunt that he saw her son go to the birch forest at the east end of the village. The old butcher also went there.

When the aunt went to the birch forest, she didn't see her son. After searching for a long time, she found a pile of bones in a dilapidated house. After she called the police, she learned that several teenagers had disappeared in the nearby villages in recent years.

The aunt collapsed to the ground. The so-called venison she bought that day might have been her son's meat. And the ones she had eaten before might have been those missing teenagers.

When Qiao Linxi saw this fictional story, he felt his scalp tingling. How dark-skinned must the person who wrote this story be to be able to write such a horrible story.

The meat in the basket also made Qiao Linxi feel numb. It was clearly pork belly. Perhaps it was affected by what happened last night, Qiao Linxi felt that something was wrong with it.

She looked around at her brothers and sisters standing in the kitchen, and suddenly realized that the youngest, Qiao Linle, was not there.

"Where is Lele?" Qiao Linxi had a deep impression of this little guy. When she took in the child from her second uncle's family, Lele was dying.

"Le Le?" Qiao Linshan also looked around in confusion: "She was here just now."

"Go find her quickly..." When Qiao Linxi heard that Lele was missing, she became anxious. She was afraid that the horror story would come true around her.

Seeing how anxious Qiao Linxi was, the other children, although a little confused, also went out to look for her.

It was strange. Although the yard was large, more than a dozen people had searched for a long time but still couldn't find him. Qiao Linshan also started to panic. Qiao Linle was only two years old. Where could he have gone?

"Didn't anyone see where Lele went?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Qiao Linxi asked again: "Did anyone see him go out?"

"I didn't go out. Lin Yu and I were sitting on the doorstep playing, so we didn't see brother Lin Le."

"Look carefully."

They searched in the yard and in every room, but still couldn't find Qiao Linle. Qiao Linxi felt even bleaker. Could it really be like that? If it was what she guessed, she would definitely take the children away, even if she had to sleep on the street, she would never live here again.

When Qiao Linxi looked for Qiao Linle in the yard for the third time, he saw a small shadow huddled in the corner of the yard.

"Lele?"

Qiao Linxi walked over in surprise. It was really Qiao Linle. Qiao Linxi swore that she had looked for this location twice. This was the third time. Why didn't she see him the first two times?

"Sister." Qiao Linle turned around and was very happy to see that it was Qiao Linxi.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you hear us calling you?"

Qiao Linle shook his head: "Fish, fish, beautiful fish."

"Fish? Where do the fish come from?" Qiao Linxi walked over. In front of Qiao Linle was a small fish tank with three golden goldfish in it.

"Lele?"

"So you are here? I looked for you several times but didn't see you."

It turned out that not only Qiao Linxi didn't see Qiao Linle, but even other people who came to look for him didn't see him either.

There is a very strange phenomenon in this world, that is, we fall into a vicious circle of looking for things. When you want to find something, you can't find it. When you stop looking for it, it appears again.

If this phenomenon happens to a person, it is a phenomenon that cannot be explained by science. Some people are automatically blocked from the world and cannot be seen by anyone.

Qiao Linle may have encountered this phenomenon today.

I’m afraid this yard is no longer habitable.

As soon as Qiao Linxi had this thought, the old lady who owned the house came out from the main building: "Girl, who are you looking for? Did he run out to play?"

"Found it. Grandma, are you hungry? I'll make you some dumpling soup right away."

"Hey, you are such a kind-hearted girl. I wonder who is lucky enough to marry you."
