Chapter 113: Retard

“It won’t just because you say so? I can tell that crude food like this will taste awful just by its look!” Qiao Wenjuan sneered with a face of distaste.

Qiao Zhongxing, who was inhaling his mantous with large bites, slightly choked and looked down at the remaining half of the mantou in his hand. “It won’t. It tastes quite good too, the feel is fine and smooth. Quite good.”

“Second Brother, you! Couldn’t you be a bit more ambitious!” Qiao Wenjuan rolled her eyes at the foolish Qiao Zhongxing before reaching out to help her shaky mother up. “Mother, don’t eat such crude food. Let’s get off. I remember there’s a restaurant in Anshan Town whose dishes taste quite good. Let’s go and eat there.”

Qiao Zhongbang could not resist inputting, “Sister, we still have to hurry on later! Let’s just make do and take a few bites for now. After we reach Xijiu City, we can…”

“How could that do! Mother, let’s head over there. I remember the restaurant is just around the corner.”

Qiao Mu watched her “naive” aunt with disbelief on her face. She had originally thought this woman was merely a bit dumb, but it turned out she was not dumb, she was a retard!

She had to ask, the entire Anshan Town had scattered like birds and beasts, so where was she going to find a master chef to cook for her mother and her…?

Qiao Mu held her hand up to stop Shaoyao from speaking up. “Let her. Shaoyao, stay inside the carriage and help me look after Mother and Younger Sis. As for those two women, ignore them.”

“Yes, Miss.” Shaoyao bobbed her head up and down.

Qiao Mu turned to speak to her uncle, “Second Uncle, rest here for a bit. I am going to go across the street to take a look.”

Qiao Zhongxing nodded with a grin.

When Qiao Mu walked past Qiao Zhongbang, she heard her father quietly say, “Qiaoqiao, be careful and return quickly.”

“Hn,” Qiao Mu dryly made a sound in response before running across the street.

Qiao Zhongbang, however, was startled for a while before suddenly exclaiming in excitement, “Zhongxing, did you hear Qiaoqiao’s ‘Hn’ just now! She responded to me!”

During this period of time, Qiaoqiao had coldly treated him like a transparent person and did not look at him directly, let alone respond to him… His mood would often take a dive thinking about this.

Qiao Zhongxing glanced at him both amused and exasperated. “Brother, how could father and daughter have any overnight enmities? Don’t worry, Qiaoqiao is quite sensible, and her intelligence is extraordinary. She is knowledgeable about a lot of things.”

“Shaoyao, are there more mantous?” Qiao Zhongxing asked toward the carriage.

“Yes, yes, yes! I have a lot.” Shaoyao stuffed another mantou toward Qiao Hu before jumping down from the carriage and running toward Qiao Zhongxing and Qiao Zhongbang.

Qiao Mu sprinted the whole way toward the entrance of the shop across the street and used the tip of her foot to wipe the sign on the ground. As expected, it was a talisman shop.

She kicked open the remaining half of the broken door that blocked her path and bent down to enter.

The inside of the store had long since been turned upside down with a few talismans scatted on the floor now and then. Qiao Mu picked them up to take a look but grew disappointed when she could not sense any talisman energy imbued in it.

A talisman was not a talisman without talisman energy. It appeared that this little shop merely hung a sheep’s head while selling dog meat and sold fake talismans that deceived people.

What a waste of blank talisman papers!

Qiao Mu made a round through the shop but did not discover anything. When she turned around, her sight suddenly focused on the fallen bookshelf.

After falling down, the books of the bookshelf dropped onto the floor in disarray, but there was one book that remained firmly stuck on the shelf, unmoving.

No one would believe it if it was not a secret mechanism.

Qiao Mu walked up and kicked the book. A light whoosh came from behind her as the wall slid open to the side.

This was accompanied by the sound of a suppressed shout. A zombie abruptly leaped out from behind the wall, pouncing toward Qiao Mu.
