Infinite Stream: Fox Cub's Black Cat Gachapon Game
Chapter 48 Jiushi Town (23)
The simple and plain room was filled with the faint scent of rouge.
There were no beaded curtains or gauze decorations that women usually like. Except for a purple cheongsam, the clothes on the hangers were all smart trousers.
The woman turned her back to the man who was questioning her, concentrating on the photo in her hands and ignoring the sound of the bullet being loaded.
She gently stroked the face in the black and white photo, as if she could really touch the girl's tender skin.
The photo is probably a bit old, and has turned yellow and faded badly, but there isn't a single crease or chip on the edges, and it's obvious that the owner has taken great care of it and it's been well preserved.
The protagonist above is a little girl about ten years old.
It was the young Qi Xiaochen.
Children from poor families have to grow up early, and Qi Xiaochen is one of them.
Her home was just a thatched hut that was leaky and windy.
However, there is also an advantage to having such poor conditions. The advantage is that no one would like this house, which reduces the possibility of the two sisters who depend on each other being harassed.
The parents of the two sisters of the Qi family died in a coal mine collapse accident.
From then on, Qi Ying, who was not even fourteen years old, started doing all kinds of odd jobs everywhere, jobs that even men could not handle, but as long as the pay was a little more, she would do it anyway.
After all, she not only has to support herself, but also her younger sister.
Qi Ying had not read many books and only knew a rough knowledge of Chinese characters. He was exhausted from the high-intensity physical work from dawn to dusk every day.
More than once she thought about leaving alone and leaving her little child here.
Isn't that what the lower class is like? Starving children are thrown into a mass grave, and that's the end of it. Maybe they can be reborn into a good family in their next life?
"Sister, I went to dig lichens today. Can I give you a snack tonight?"
Qi Xiaochen, with a painted face, showed off a basket that had been used for a long time and had holes in it.
"Sister, I have mended your clothes for you. Please be more careful next time."
Looking at the needlework marks in the shape of "XXx" of varying sizes, Qi Ying praised her for being so capable.
"Sister, please eat more. I do much less work than you do, so I'm not hungry..."
Qi Xiaochen held his stomach, which was growling against his owner's will, and lied with his eyes open.
……
"Sister, will you come back early today? Xiaoxiao from next door has also disappeared recently... But it's okay if you're busy, I'll take good care of the house."
Qi Xiaochen looked very scared, but finally told Qi Ying that it was okay.
Qi Ying also had no way to spend more time with her. She had to support the family and ensure that her sensible sister had enough food to eat.
Later, Qi Xiaochen disappeared.
She searched like crazy, wandering around the slums, knocking on doors and asking everyone, and breaking down the doors of those who didn't open them.
But people who are busy making a living all day long don't have time to pay attention to an unrelated child. She gained nothing.
The aunt who knew her well saw that she was distraught and was worried that the little girl would be depressed, so she went to check on her every day.
"Hey, girl, what are you doing? How can you go to Xiao Qi like this? If I see her again in the future, I'm afraid she will feel bad..."
See you again...if I can see you again...
After a period of silence, Qi Ying returned to her working-hard state. She did more and harder work than when they lived with each other, and vowed to save money to find the child.
It was with great difficulty that we learned from the captured human traffickers the whereabouts of the abducted children.
Praying that the person who transferred the item did not move to other places with Qi Xiaochen, he came here with a feeling of trepidation and excitement, thinking that he could see his long-lost sister.
Qi Ying suffered a greater blow than when Qi Xiaochen disappeared.
Qi Xiaochen died, reportedly from a broken head, the day before she came to find him.
When she endured Mo Da's further questioning about why this happened, the servants of the Yuan family were very secretive and refused to say a word.
The person she wanted to see most would never be seen again in this life. Qi Ying's hopes and efforts were declared invalid on an ordinary day.
She imagined the worst possible scenario when she found Qi Xiaochen.
But she never expected that what was waiting for her was not a reunion but news of her death.
The next day, she dressed up and knelt opposite Yuan's house under the pretext of selling herself to pay off her debts. With her young and lively appearance, Yuan Peishan carried her into the Yuan family to be his concubine.
She planned to approach everyone in the Yuan family.
Being born in the lower class, she understood the difficulties faced by ordinary people better and she was not the type to make things difficult for others. Many servants were close to her. She soon heard about the death penalty from an old servant.
Together with Madam Li who lived in seclusion in a Buddhist temple, she saved another girl who was about to be regarded as a sacrifice like her sister.
What allowed her to quickly learn the horrifying truth beneath the gorgeous exterior of the Yuan residence was Yuan Peishan's diary.
The fire at the Bai family was an outright deliberate massacre, and he would continue to use more lives to build a safe "wall" for the Yuan family for this crime.
Why do evildoers have children and grandchildren, while she and Qi Xiaochen are separated forever?
The thought of revenge was growing in her heart, and she found an opportunity to kill Yuan Peishan who was drunk at her youngest son's wedding.
Yuan Shiqi held the bloody dress and dagger in front of her.
"I killed him. Do you want to avenge your hypocritical father?"
Qi Ying was frank. What was there to be afraid of? She had done nothing wrong. She had never felt so happy since Qi Xiaochen's death.
"why?"
Yuan Shiqi really couldn't understand why this new aunt acted so naturally about killing his father.
"This is my sister..." Qi Ying showed the photo to Yuan Shiqi, "Is she cute?"
……
Chiwu and his younger brother were tied up and thrown into the woodshed. Wenren Yihan and the others found their way to Yuan Peishan's room. Bai Yingmei probably wouldn't be able to find them for a while.
[Here we go, what stage have you reached? Here are the hidden extra questions. If you answer correctly, you will get a reward!
May I ask who is the murderer of Yuan Peishan? 】
"Ah? Isn't it Bai Yingmei?"
Duan Ran's eyes are clear, a pure beauty that has not been tainted by knowledge.
Xun Hong'er and Yuan Peishan died on the same day, so Duan Ran naturally thought that they must have died at the hands of the same person.
[Wrong answer, 100 Gachapon coins will be deducted from the player's second bed in Jiangqiao Second Hospital.
Please answer carefully. 】
"What? You also lied that I'll lose money if I answer wrong?" Duan Ran was so upset that he even spoke with an accent after losing 100 Gachapon coins because of his quick mouth.
[You didn't say that, meow? It seems like it's true... Then I'll deduct fifty from you, meow. ]
"You are too casual. People working in cat cafes are not as casual as you. Give it all back to me!"
That's 50 Gacha coins! Another 50 is enough for a copy of Gacha. He only gives 50 for being a guide.
【Thank you for your understanding, meow. 】
Who understands you! Duan Ran advised himself not to fight with a black-hearted cat.
"Yuan Peishan was killed by Aunt Qi."
