When the virtual panel appeared in front of Yuxiu again, there was only a large colorful disc on it. All the options were covered up, leaving only the four big words "Draw Once" displayed.

"Come on."

Yuxiu used her consciousness to press the lottery button, and the big turntable in front of her began to spin frantically, spinning faster and faster...

Yuxiu only felt dizzy from being spun around, her mind was in a daze, and when she came to her senses again, the turntable had already stopped.

"Congratulations to the host for winning a set of black iron bows and arrows. Please accept them."

The voice of the small system sounded, and when Yuxiu heard the word bow and arrow, her depressed mood was relieved by some surprise.

She had drawn magical archery from the previous novice gift pack, and those things had long been deeply engraved in her mind. It was a pity that this archery alone was not enough, and she didn't know how to make a bow and arrow, so she had no way to use it.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to get the bow and arrow, so she doesn't have to use only this broken hoe anymore.

At this moment, they had been out for a long time, and it was already dark all around. Taking advantage of the night, Yuxiu quickly clicked to receive it. Then, her hand sank, and a cold bow and arrow appeared in her hand.

Perhaps it was because of the magical archery skills. Although she couldn't see it in the dark, Yuxiu instinctively felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of her heart. She touched the smooth lines of the bow and arrow in her hand, as if she had used this thing thousands of times.

Thinking that there might be many dangers hidden in this dark forest, Yuxiu did not dare to be careless. She put the bow and arrow back into the space, increased her vigilance, and walked forward closely beside Cui.

Not long after, a bright light appeared at the edge of the woods ahead. From afar, it could be seen that many refugees were resting there, and there were more than a dozen bonfires of varying sizes.

Those people sat around the fire not far away, wearing tattered clothes, and planned to make do with it for the night.

"Mom, let's go over and ask, maybe someone has seen my dad and the others."

Because of the bad experiences she had had before, Cui was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should let it go. After hearing what Yuxiu said, she thought that this was the truth.

"Okay, let's go ask together."

Seeing the two women coming, some looked up but said nothing, while others avoided their gaze and shrank involuntarily.

"No, I haven't seen it..."

When Cui asked if they had seen a team driving a horse-drawn carriage with a lot of guards, those people all shook their heads and said they had never seen it, and then looked at the machete in Cui's hand with horror.

Cui ignored her, said thank you, and continued to walk forward with Yuxiu. After asking everyone around the fire, the two finally gave up.

"Big sister, it's late at night, why don't you rest here first and continue your journey tomorrow."

At this time, a couple came over and it was the woman who spoke.

Seeing that Yuxiu and Cui didn't say anything, the woman smiled again.

"Didn't you recognize us, sister? My mother-in-law greeted you yesterday..."

When she said this, Cui immediately remembered and asked with some surprise:

"Is it the lady from Huangshi County? Why can't I see the lady?"

Yuxiu also remembered it. She looked at the two people in front of her again in the light of the fire. They indeed looked familiar. Then she looked at the people who were looking over at the fire and couldn't help laughing.

It seems that they did not enter the unfortunate village that night and missed the disaster.

"It's just our family. Mom was too tired, so she fell asleep in the car. If you don't mind, come and rest with us. It will be safer to continue the journey after daybreak."

When the woman saw that they remembered, she quickly invited them.

They were all fleeing famine, and it was extremely difficult for them all, let alone the two women. If they met a bad guy or a wild beast in the wilderness, they wouldn't even have a chance to call for help.

Cui discussed it with Yuxiu and agreed, then followed them to the campfire.

"Sister, daughter, please sit here."

Those people made two seats available and the woman asked the two to sit down.

After some understanding, Yuxiu found out that the family's surname was Yang. The old lady gave birth to five sons, who each got married and gave birth to several grandchildren for her. There were more than twenty people in the family, but three of the granddaughters had already married and were not here.

The couple who just came over are Mr. and Mrs. Yang. The woman’s name is Miao, and she has three sons and one daughter.

Yang Laoer's wife was named Zhang, and they gave birth to two sons and one daughter.

Yang Laosan's wife was named Lin, and they gave birth to two sons.

Yang Laosi's wife was named Hua, and she gave birth to three daughters and one son.

Yang Laowu's wife was named Chen, and she gave birth to only one daughter, who was the little girl that Old Lady Yang was holding in her arms that day.

The other couple with three children are the cousin of the Yang brothers.

Such a big family lives together and gets along very harmoniously. It is totally unlike the Xu family, which is full of fighting and chaos.

When they heard about what happened to Cui's mother and daughter, they couldn't help but feel confused.

"We are all brothers, how can you be so cruel?"

Chen could empathize the most. She had been married for several years, but only had one daughter. She often felt inferior and sad. It was only with the guidance and comfort of her sisters-in-law and mother-in-law that she stopped herself from being depressed.

She looked up at the flatbed cart over there. Her daughter had already fallen asleep in her grandmother's arms. She couldn't help but feel moved again.

If her mother-in-law was like Old Lady Qin, she and her daughter would probably not survive for more than a few days.

"It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. They are your own children and grandchildren. Even if they are just girls, you can't just kill them casually. Moreover, you have raised them so big, you should not be willing to do so. Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Yang's wife Miao looked at Yuxiu, then at Cui, and opened her mouth but said nothing.

She wanted to ask if this girl was not Yang's biological daughter, but was adopted and raised.

"The child is our own. We gave birth at home. Mother-in-law must know this. She is just partial to those people and doesn't like us, the second wife."

Cui seemed to see through Miao's thoughts and said it herself.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Yuxiu, who was standing next to her, suddenly had an idea in her mind. While it was true that she was her parents' child, her father Xu Qinghe was not necessarily Old Lady Qin's son.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. In her memory, Xu Qinghai and Xu Qingjiang were not very tall, and Xu Qinghai's sons were all short and fat. Xu Qinghe was tall and thin, and it was very obvious to see the difference between him and other people in the Xu family.
