A reborn woman abducts her husband: after emptying his pockets, she marries a military officer.

Chapter 27 My Silly Third Brother

“Last night I saw a dark figure running towards the cliff. By the time I chased after it, it had vanished,” Qin Dahe said slowly.

At the time, he thought he was seeing things and didn't think much of it. It wasn't until he picked a bamboo basket of Sanghuang (a type of medicinal mushroom) and was on his way back that he realized something was wrong.

The cliff behind the mountain is steep and dangerous; the villagers don't know the way and wouldn't easily take the risk.

If he wasn't mistaken last night, then that figure was very likely...

Qin Dahe rushed home and immediately pushed open his sister's door.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, his heart sank.

Just as he was about to go out to look for someone, Qin Yingxue returned.

Qin Yingxue raised her eyebrows in surprise; she hadn't expected Qin Dahe to discover her whereabouts.

I thought I wouldn't be discovered in the middle of the night, but I was careless.

It seems we need to be more cautious next time and see if there are any other high-tech gadgets besides the invisibility pill.

"Little sister, I'll take you into the mountains tomorrow!"

While Qin Yingxue was still deep in thought, Qin Dahe seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Qin Yingxue looked at Qin Dahe in confusion. Wasn't he the one who kept stopping her from going?

"I'm craving meat, so I'll take you into the mountains tomorrow to try my luck." Qin Dahe's tone was somewhat forced, and his expression was a little stiff.

Instead of living in constant fear, it's better to take her out openly and confidently.

After witnessing the dangers of the deep mountains, she naturally gave up the idea.

Otherwise, being tormented by doubts every day would drive him crazy.

Qin Yingxue quickly understood Qin Dahe's motives and asked hesitantly, "It will take a whole day to go, right? Will Mom and Dad agree?"

"So you have to step in. When you're having dinner tonight, tell your parents that you need to go to the county town on business tomorrow and it will take you one or two days. As long as you ask, your parents will definitely agree."

Qin Dahe thought for a moment and then said.

Qin Yingxue originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing about it for a day or two, she was immediately tempted.

To be honest, training requires perseverance, and going there once requires both the Gale Pill and the Invisibility Pill, which is expensive. In addition, there are only two or three hours of training time each day, which is a bit troublesome.

But if she goes out for two days this time, she can explore deeper into the mountains.

As for Qin Dahe, it's actually quite simple to keep it from him.

"Okay, I'll tell my parents tonight." Qin Yingxue nodded.

After catching loaches and eels for several days, the harvest was not large, but the Qin family mobilized a lot of people, so they still earned twenty or thirty yuan a day.

Upon hearing that Qin Yingxue had to go to the county town for two days, Qin Jiasheng and Li Hehua's first reaction was to ask Qin Dahe to accompany her, and they instructed him to take good care of his younger sister.

Qin Dahe patted his chest and assured him.

After dinner, Qin Yingxue spotted Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang walking towards the backyard with their arms around Qin Dahe.

Qin Yingxue quietly followed and saw the two brothers, one holding Qin Dahe to prevent him from moving, and the other with a serious expression and icy tone: "Qin Dahe, tell me honestly, did you instigate Yingxue to use her as a cover to do bad things?"

"No!" Qin Dahe hurriedly denied.

"No? Don't think I haven't seen you sneaking around Yingxue's room lately. Tell me honestly, what have you been doing?" Qin Dajiang threatened in a low voice, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell Mom and Dad."

After Qin Dajiang finished speaking, he made a gesture as if he was about to leave.

"No, we can't tell Mom and Dad!" Qin Dahe exclaimed anxiously.

Qin Yingxue couldn't help but facepalm!

My silly third brother!

Aren't you usually pretty clever with me?

How could you be so easily manipulated by your older brothers!

"If you don't want your parents to know, tell them the truth!" Qin Dahai tightened his grip on Qin Dahe's hand.

Qin Dahe felt a little short of breath, but he still said stubbornly, "I promised my sister I wouldn't tell anyone. My sister specifically told me not to tell you or Mom and Dad."

Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang exchanged a glance, a thoughtful look flashing in their eyes.

Does Yingxue only feel close to Qin Dahe and not treat them as her brothers?

Instantly, a feeling of jealousy rose in both of their hearts.

Qin Dajiang snorted coldly, "Qin Dahe, my sister treats all three of us brothers equally. Stop trying to sow discord between us."

"Second brother, third brother didn't lie!" Qin Yingxue walked out from the corner.

“Little sister…” Qin Dahai immediately released Qin Dahe, a simple and honest smile spreading across his face. “We were just joking with our third brother, don’t take it seriously.”

Qin Dahe looked somewhat aggrieved, standing to the side and gazing longingly at Qin Yingxue, as if he wanted her to stand up for him.

Qin Dajiang reached out to straighten Qin Dahe's clothes, but Qin Dahe resisted. Qin Dajiang gave him a half-smile, and Qin Dahe immediately became obedient.

"There is indeed something I only told my third brother," Qin Yingxue said with a smile, looking at the two of them. "It's not that I don't trust my eldest and second brothers, but I didn't want to put you in a difficult position."

"What is it?" Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang couldn't help but ask.

Qin Yingxue glanced at Qin Dahe.

Qin Dahe immediately understood and said from the side, "My sister asked me to pick clods of earth. Those things are expensive, but rare. My sister doesn't intend to tell anyone else; she just wants our family to earn this money."

"A clod of earth?" Qin Dajiang's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Qin Dahai couldn't help but ask, "High price? How high?"

Qin Dahe's eyes darted around, and when he saw his older brothers looking at him nervously, he held up three fingers and waved them.

"Three...three pieces?" Qin Dahai swallowed hard.

One of those things weighs more than a pound, and the larger ones weigh two or three pounds. It's no bigger than a clod of dirt...

Qin Dahe shook his head, but even Qin Dajiang, who was usually very composed, couldn't help but get excited: "Thirty yuan?"

Qin Dahai was shocked and looked at Qin Yingxue with disbelief.

Qin Yingxue nodded with a smile.

Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang swallowed hard with excitement, their eyes shining as they looked at Qin Yingxue.

"Big brother, second brother, what do you think will happen if Mom and Dad find out about this?" Qin Yingxue asked, looking at the two of them.

All their excitement vanished instantly. Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang looked at each other and fell silent.

“Sanghuang is not as readily available as loach, and it is more expensive, which also exposes the selfish and dark side of human nature. So I always have my third brother pick it secretly.”

But today, Qin Yingxue changed her mind again.

The three brothers did not divide the family property. Qin Dahe earned money by picking and selling mulberry leaves, and it is estimated that he would not keep it all for himself after she took it out.

And by the time we come out of the mountains this time, the mulberries will be ready to be picked.

She doesn't have much time to stay in Qin Village; there are so many treasures hidden deep in the mountains, she needs to go there more often.

With Qin Dahai and Qin Dajiang joining the project, the plan can be implemented ahead of schedule.

"Little sister, then I'll go with your second brother..." Qin Dahai rubbed his hands together, looking at Qin Yingxue with a nervous expression.
