I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Not to mention Zhao Dongqing who noticed it, even the children noticed that Qiao Linxi was abnormal. Every time before something appeared, she would say some words of gratitude.

Could it be that these things were created by words of gratitude?

Qiao Linxi had no idea that her secret had been discovered by others. She stroked the tiger cub gently. The tiger might have been following them with the cub, so it appeared so promptly when it saw them in danger.

"Okay, your cub's milk is done."

Qiao Linxi handed the two cubs to the tiger, but the tiger licked them affectionately, then butted Qiao Linxi's waist with its head and ran away.

Qiao Linxi: ...

"Hey, Brother Tiger, Sister Tiger, you can't rely on me. I can't raise you."

Qiao Linxi shouted at the tiger's back, but the only response he got was the swaying grass.

"I'm really... screwed." Qiao Linxi suddenly felt that the tiger cub in her arms was no longer cute. Instead, it was very hot.

Looking at Qiao Linxi jumping up and down in anger, Zhao Dongqing thought she was so cute.

"Girl, that tiger should be a male tiger. It has shown great trust in you by handing the cub to you. It may have gone back to take care of the tigress. When the tigress recovers, they will come to find you."

"It has to take care of its wife and can't give its cubs to me. How can I take care of them?"

Qiao Linxi wanted to throw the tiger cub away, but he couldn't bear to do it. If he left the tiger cub here, it would definitely become food for other animals in less than half an hour.

"Animals have a magical power. No matter where their loved ones are, they can always sense them."

Although Zhao Dongqing explained this, Qiao Linxi still looked unwilling. It was not enough for her to take care of 18 brothers and sisters, she also had to raise two tiger cubs. What sin had she committed?

Although he was reluctant, Qiao Linxi still found a backpack to put the tiger cubs in, and put a lot of hay in the backpack to prevent them from getting hurt. Then he covered them with a piece of tattered clothes, just like serving his ancestors.

Now that it was safe, Qiao Linxi asked his younger brothers and sisters to come over. When they saw Qiao Linxi asking all the children to form a circle, they knew that there would be something to eat.

Tiger was fed two of the six bottles of milk, and there were four bottles left. Qiao Linxi took out two bottles, poured them into a measuring cup, and let each person take a small sip.

Looking at this army of children, Qiao Linxi felt like crying but had no tears. Eighteen mouths meant a lot of food.

Fortunately, every child who got the milk thanked Qiao Linxi, and Qiao Linxi gained another wave of gratitude points. She took it to the lottery, and the system was very powerful, directly giving her a level 3 lunch box.

"The host's level has been upgraded to level three, so the wooden board is directly a level three lunch box."

After having two level-three lunch boxes, Qiao Linxi decisively upgraded them to level-four lunch boxes. A level-four lunch box contains eight steamed buns at a time, three times a day, which means twenty-four steamed buns a day.

This became Qiao Linxi's only comfort.

Seeing that the children were not injured, Qiao Linxi told them to pack up and start their journey, trying to reach the next city before dark.

Qiao Linxi carried Qiao Linhua on his back, while Qiao Linqi and Qiao Linshu took turns carrying the two tiger cubs.

After hurrying along, we finally reached the next city before dark. The refugees had all stayed in the previous city, so it was still very quiet here.

"stop……"

Qiao Linxi and his companions wanted to enter the city, but were stopped by the officials guarding the city.

"Sir, can't I go in?" Qiao Linxi did not make a fuss with the officer, but just asked rationally.

"You need to pay an entry fee to enter the city, five cents per person."

Qiao Linxi was puzzled: "I have to pay to enter the city?"

"There are more and more refugees now. If we let everyone in, won't the city be in chaos?"

Qiao Linxi and the others had no money, and she didn't have to go in. She just saw that Zhao Dongqing looked pale and thought he might be seriously injured, so she wanted to go into the city to see a doctor.

"I'll pay for them." Zhao Dongqing took out a silver lump from his arms and put it in the officer's hand. The officer shook it and asked the people behind him to put away the spear.

"Wait," Qiao Linxi stopped his younger brothers and sisters behind him, took the money from the officer and put it in Zhao Dongqing's hand.

"Mr. Zhao, we won't go in. Don't waste money. You can go in alone."

Zhao Dongqing: "It's okay, we can take care of each other."

Qiao Linxi shook her head: "No, if so many of us go in, we will just be licked by the people inside. It's fine for you to go in alone. You have money and ability, so you will definitely not starve. Let's go around the city."

"Sister, aren't we going in?"

Qiao Linqi asked Qiao Linxi quietly while carrying the tiger cub on his back.

"No, let Mr. Zhao go in alone. Let's not waste his money."

After saying that, Qiao Linxi looked at Zhao Dongqing and said, "Mr. Zhao, let's say goodbye now and see you again if we are lucky."

Zhao Dongqing looked at Qiao Linxi who was walking away with her younger brother and sister, and was a little puzzled. Why did she suddenly not go into the city?

After walking for a while, Qiao Linxi finally responded to Qiao Linqi: "There are too many of us, and we are carrying a tiger cub. What if someone sees the cub and snatches it away when we enter the city? If the big tiger comes looking for the cub and can't find it, do you think it will eat us in anger?"

"No way?" Qiao Linqi was frightened.

"Sister, what if we can't raise the tiger cub?" asked Qiao Linshu.

"Lin Shu, no matter what happened, we just need to do it with a clear conscience. If we really can't raise the tiger cub, there is no need for us to feel guilty. I think the tiger is very human and will not blame us. But it's different if we are kidnapped in the city, so we have to do our best to take care of the tiger cub."

"Oh." Qiao Linshu nodded, as if he understood what Qiao Linxi said.

The group walked around the city for a long time, until the sky was full of stars, and then they found a suitable place to stay, which was a shabby house.

"Are you all hungry?"

Qiao Linxi and her friends had only some porridge and milk the whole day, and everyone was starving.

"Yeah. Sis, we're all hungry."

Qiao Linxi asked the children to sit in a circle, and this became a fixed ritual for them before eating.

"I think you are so smart that you must have guessed where my things came from."

"Sister Lin Xi, did you create your food by using words of thanks?" Qiao Linbao asked.

As expected, these kids are very smart, how could they not guess it?

Qiao Linxi nodded: "That's right, but it's not the words of gratitude that made it happen. Instead, these words of gratitude are the source of my magic power. Only with magic power can I make things happen. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

"Sister Lin Xi, is this the reason you're not going with Mr. Zhao? Are you worried that he'll know our secret and expose it?"
