When his daughter was one month old, and before he had time to give her a name, Si Chaoqun took his wife and daughter with him to go out and explore the world.
As a result, the child caught a cold just after leaving home and died due to timely medical treatment.
After wandering for more than a year and failing to find a way to survive, she was forced to return to their tribe.
When we left, the clan leader tried to persuade us earnestly, saying that our children were too young to endure such hardships, but we simply would not listen and insisted on taking the children away.
After Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua returned to the tribe again, to avoid being scolded by the tribe leader, they lied that they had met a master outside and said that their daughter had a hurdle before she turned 18 and needed to practice resolving it. So they left their daughter with the master and would take her back when she grew up.
Anyway, it was more than ten years before they took their daughter back. It doesn’t matter whether the tribe members remember this matter or not. Even if they do, it is completely impossible to find the residence of the master and their daughter.
Unexpectedly, the outrageous lie told by Si Chaoqun’s original self became Si Si’s natural identity after she came here. Not only were their identities similar, but their age was also the same as Si Si’s; both were nineteen years old.
Since the plan had already been made, Si Chaoqun’s explanation was not far-fetched at all: “Clan leader, fellow clan uncles, this is the daughter we left with the master 19 years ago. The master personally named her Si Si.”
The clan leader and several elders all had some impression of this matter. When Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua came back, they did ask about it.
It’s just that, given Si Chaoqun’s original unreliable nature, they didn’t believe him too much.
Now that the daughter has come back, it proves that this unreliable guy didn’t lie back then.
“Well, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back. Nothing is more important than family reunion.” Fourth Uncle praised.
The clan leader was not as simple-minded as Fourth Uncle thinks. In this year of famine, why did this girl come looking for Si Chaoqun’s family when they returned?
He had doubts in his heart, so he naturally had to ask. He looked at Si Si and said, “Where did you come back from? There are refugees everywhere outside, but your master is willing to let you come back alone?”
Si Si also reacted quickly. On the way back from Prince Rong’s Mansion, when Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua talked about their original situations, she listened carefully and knew that they had said that their dead daughter had been handed over to a master.
“Grandpa clan leader, I have been living near Suolan Lake with my master. My master said that I have successfully overcome the difficulties. It’s time for me and my parents to reunite, so he sent me back to Qiushui City.”
“As a result, we encountered a group of robbers on the road, and my master was injured. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Rong rushed to rescue us and sent me back to Qiushui City.”
With Si Si’s explanation, it can be said that all the patriarch’s doubts were resolved.
The reason she claimed that her master lived in Suolan Lake was that she had heard Qi Mohan mention that place many times, and she was also rescued in Suolan Lake. It can be said that this place exists, and there will be no mistakes in talking about it.
At the same time, she also explained the reason why Qi Mohan was here, because she had seen that these elders were always curious about why Qi Mohan was here.
The clan leader and the elders felt much better when they heard that Si Si was rescued on the way to Qiushui City, and it was not because Si Chaoqun had relapsed into his old habit of finding a beautiful girl to please His Royal Highness Prince Rong.
It seems that Si Chaoqun can still be saved, and it is not as we thought.
If he were still like before, using any means to cling to the powerful, we would feel that today’s trip is not worth it.
For such a scumbag, he took the risk of being slandered by the people around him and brought his family back to the ethnic group to live. Later, when the predicament was resolved, Si Chaoqun did some things that harmed everyone, and we thought he was the wrong good person.
Now, Si Si met Prince Rong on the road by herself. She was good-looking, and it was Prince Rong’s problem if he liked her. It has nothing to do with Si Chaoqun.
What’s more, considering that this girl has been away from home for 19 years and has been with her master, she must not have married yet.
19 years old can be considered an old leftover woman. Even if she was very pretty, it may not be easy to find a good family.
If she caught the eye of His Royal Highness Prince Rong, it would be a good thing.
Of course, the premise of this is that Si Chaoqun will not make the same mistake again by relying on this relationship in the future…
With a conclusion in mind, the clan leader’s attitude softened a lot when he spoke again, and he directly stated the purpose of his visit today.
“Chaoqun, I heard that your family has been ostracized everywhere since returning to Qiushui City. Since you can’t make a living here, why don’t you follow us back to your clan? Your parents’ ancestral home is still there. After you go back, you can settle down there. It’s better than starving outside.”
Si Chaoqun had never thought about this. Since he traveled through time, he was worried about his life at first, then he worried about his livelihood, and now he has reunited with his daughter from his previous life. This series of things has made him feel overwhelmed, and he has no time to think about other things.
Now that the clan leader had brought it up, he had to consider it carefully.
What’s more, unlike the feudal thinking of the ancients, where men make all the decisions at home, Si Chaoqun would never do that. Before making any decision, he would always discuss it with his wife.
Therefore, the patriarch could not answer this question immediately.
But Si Chaoqun knew that the patriarch did this entirely for the sake of their family, and he had to understand this.
“Thank you, clan leader, and all the uncles, for your concern. I would like to discuss this matter with my wife and the two children before making a decision.”
Before the clan leader could respond, Si Yu, who was standing next to Luo Xuehua, couldn’t help but say, “Dad, I’m willing to follow the clan leader back to live in the clan.”
According to the rules, it was very impolite for children to interrupt when the elders were speaking, but there is nothing we can do. Si Yu was spoiled by the original owner’s wife and has always been like this. He says whatever he wants. We will have to educate him slowly in the future.
Si Chaoqun was just about to scold Si Yu and teach him that children should not interrupt when adults were speaking, but before he could finish his words, the clan leader spoke first.
When the clan leader looked at Si Yu, his expression was much kinder than when he looked at Si Chaoqun: “Si Yu, tell me, why are you willing to follow us back to live in the clan?”
Si Yu had just noticed that his father didn’t look very well. He didn’t know what had happened in the past few days. His parents seemed like different people. Although they were still as considerate to him as before, their attitude was much stricter.
