Nearly a month later, Zhao Qing returned to the valley. Zhao Deyan, who was squatting at the entrance, screamed in disbelief at the sight of Zhao Qing returning safely.

He stood up excitedly, staggered a few steps, then ran over and hugged Zhao Qing tightly.

"Qingya, you're finally back. You've been gone for more than half a month, and there's been no news at all. I was so worried!"

Zhao Qing did not resist, and obediently let her elder brother hold her, with a relaxed smile on her face. Seeing her elder brother like this, it is estimated that there are people waiting for her at the entrance every day. Zhao Qing suddenly felt a sense of reality, that she was really living here, with relatives who cared about her, and it was not a game played by someone behind the scenes.

"Brother, I'm back."

Zhao Deyan let go of Zhao Qing, his eyes slightly moist. He blinked hard, trying to hold back the tears.

"Sorry, I'm too excited, Qingya, let's go home quickly. Dad, Mom and Dezhang haven't had a good night's sleep for a while."

"I know, brother, let's go back."

After being away for so long, Zhao Qing missed her family and younger brothers in the valley. It turned out that she had unknowingly regarded this place as her home.

On the way home, Zhao Qing first met Zhao Deyu. The cheerful man let out a strange cry and jumped in front of Zhao Qing excitedly.

"Boss! You're finally back! We all missed you so much!"

Before he could exchange a few words with Zhao Deyu, people who had received the news rushed over to greet Zhao Qing. Almost half of the people in the entire valley had come. Most of them did not even say hello. They just glanced at Zhao Qing, confirmed that he was not injured, and then dispersed.

A warm current surged in Zhao Qing's heart. After a month of running around, the mental fatigue was greatly relieved at this moment. Zhao Qing touched her chest, where her heart surged, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that it was a good thing to have such a group of lovely tribesmen in this different world.

Before he returned home, Zhao Chengchuan and his wife came running towards him with their young son Zhao Dezhang.

Zhao Dezhang rushed straight into Zhao Qing's arms, hugged his elder sister and cried loudly. Zhao Dezhang, who claimed to have grown up, rarely showed his emotions. He just wanted to cry his heart out and cry out all the pain and despair in his heart.

These days he was always looking forward to seeing his elder sister appear at the valley entrance, and bad thoughts often popped up in his mind, wondering if his elder sister was in danger somewhere and was waiting for them to rescue her, or if she was lost outside.

He didn't dare to speak out all his speculations, and even thinking about them felt like he was cursing his elder sister. Every time this thought flashed through his mind for a moment, he would make a "Pooh" sound and force himself not to think too much.

Then he reminded himself again and again that his elder sister was a martial arts master and must be very safe, and she must be busy with something important.

Unfortunately, as time went by, Zhao Qing still didn't come back, and this bad thought popped up more and more frequently.

Not only him, but also his elder brother, father and mother, their whole family has been suffering these days. From time to time, the family quarrels over trivial matters. He knows that everyone in the family is worried about the safety of his elder sister and is extremely emotional.

He and his elder brother could only take turns waiting at the entrance for his elder sister, and his mother cried secretly several times. In the past, Zhao Dezhang thought his mother was not kind to his elder sister, but this time he saw clearly that his mother was no less sad than him. His mother might not love his elder sister as much as she loved his elder brother and him, but his mother was definitely not someone who didn't care about her daughter like his aunt.

The one who suffered the most in the family was Dad, although he didn't say anything. Zhao Dezhang knew that his elder sister left the valley for the sake of the safety of the valley, but Dad could only watch his daughter go through life and death, but he couldn't help. This feeling of powerlessness oppressed Dad so much that he tossed and turned every night, and he became more and more exhausted.

Zhao Dezhang knew that if his father had not been tied down by the title of village chief, he would have left the valley to look for someone long ago. Waiting until now was already his father's limit, because he saw his father secretly packing up his things today.

Zhao Dezhang was sobbing and sobbing, and Zhao Qing was moved and amused at the same time.

Xiao Lu was still in Zhao Qing's mind, exclaiming in disbelief: "Master, who is this? So amazing, the tears are not flowing but spurting out!"

Zhao Qing was distracted and mentally taught Xiaolu a lesson: "Don't talk nonsense, this is my brother."

She comforted Zhao Dezhang softly, "Okay, little brother, I'm back safely. Didn't you say you've grown up? If you keep crying, people will laugh at you."

Zhao Dezhang hurriedly withdrew from Zhao Qing's arms, his eyes red like a little rabbit, and he said stubbornly: "Who dares to laugh at me?"

Wang Mei took a few steps forward with red eyes and punched Zhao Qing's shoulder heavily. Her words of concern sounded like a lesson.

"You damn girl, don't you know that your family is worried about you? You've been gone for a month. Who are you going to worry to death? Which girl is as wild as you? Who will dare to marry you in the future?"

Zhao Qing smiled at Wang Mei in a good mood: "Mom, I know you care about me, but it would be better if you could speak a little more nicely."

Wang Mei snorted coldly and did not refute.

Zhao Chengchuan, who was standing at the back, had his feet firmly planted on the ground, his hands behind his back trembling slightly. His face looked calm, but his words trembled slightly.

"Just come back."

Zhao Qing smiled widely and strode towards Zhao Chengchuan.

"Dad, I'm back!"

The father and daughter smiled at each other and said no more.

Zhao Lan and Li Heng, who had rushed over when Zhao Dezhang started crying, waited until the family had finished communicating with each other before coming forward.

"Cousin, welcome home!" Zhao Lan smiled slightly. Among all the people in the valley who were worried about Zhao Qing's safety, only Zhao Lan stood out. As long as she firmly believed in Zhao Qing, even if something happened in the valley, Zhao Qing would be safe.

"I'm back." Maybe because she had felt too much warmth today, Zhao Qing now just wanted to show her feelings directly and sincerely like a child, so she gave Zhao Lan a big hug.

"Sister Zhao Qing, welcome home." Li Heng swallowed the complicated emotions in his heart and smiled like Zhao Lan.

During the time that Zhao Qing was out of the valley, emotions he had never experienced before came over him one by one: he was anxious, worried, and afraid. He couldn't eat or sleep well, and he even sent Li Wu out of the valley to look for someone.

Li Heng was not a fool, so he knew that he had fallen in love with the girl in front of him. Unfortunately, he had a grudge against his entire family, and his enemy was the most noble person in the world. He could not selfishly drag an innocent person into this life-or-death revenge.
