I Transmigrate as a Single Mother of the Three Antagonists-Chapter 5

Late at night, Qiu Xingyuan suddenly opened his eyes. He quietly woke Qiu Xingqiao up and carried Little Yu away.

Under the locust tree.

Qiu Xingyuan said in a low but steady voice, “She must have been possessed by a ghost and wants to kill us.” 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

The auntie from next door once said that there were grievous ghosts in the water. Qiu Tong must have been possessed by one such ghost when she fell into the water.

Otherwise, why would she behave so abnormally?

Not only was she highly-skilled, she even sang those weird songs…

Qiu Xingqiao’s face turned pale.

Qiu Xingyuan was rather calm. Human or ghost, no one could harm his younger siblings!

“Go and find some paper money! Burn some to exorcise the ghost!”

“I’ll tie her up. Don’t be afraid, I will protect you!”

Qiu Xingyuan directed Qiu Xingqiao while he ran back into the house. He looked at the sleeping Qiu Tong and tied her hands up with a hemp rope.

He mimicked the way they did it on television, drawing the sign of a cross and muttering some lines.

Qiu Tong had eavesdropped on the little rascal’s exorcism ritual. She secretly opened one eye and saw the paper money scattered all over the yard. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

She tried not to laugh.

The post-apocalyptic life had made Qiu Ying extremely vigilant. The slightest sound was enough to wake her up.

The only reason Qiu Tong had kept silent and allowed the two brats to fool around was because she wanted to see what they could do!

“Eldest Brother, should we read some Buddhist scriptures?” Qiu Xingqiao asked when he entered bearing a candle.

Qiu Xingyuan shook his head and took the candle, approaching Qiu Tong’s bed.

Qiu Xingqiao exclaimed softly, “Are you going to burn her to death?! She’s… she’s…”

He still could not bring himself to say the word “mommy” no matter what.

“She’s already possessed by a ghost. She’s a demon, no longer that woman.”

Qiu Xingyuan said this, but his hands were trembling. She did not hit them today and even told them a story, even though the story was very bloody…

At that moment, Qiu Tong turned around—

Qiu Xingyuan’s hands trembled and the candle fell onto the bed. In an instant, a fire spread out uncontrollably!

The two brats were stunned.

Qiu Tong: “…”

She did not want to be burned to death!

She could no longer pretend. She escaped from her rope bindings and grabbed the two boys, throwing them onto a safe spot outside. Thereafter, she rushed into the house and used a blanket to extinguish the flames.

After a while, Qiu Tong came out with a cold face.

These two brats were really troublesome!

Qiu Xingyuan thought that she wanted to settle the score with them and he stood in front of Qiu Xingqiao protectively. “What do you want! I was the one who planned this. If you want to beat someone, beat me. Don’t hurt them…”

Qiu Tong stared at him coldly for a while before returning to her room to pack.

She could not stay here any longer.

She wanted to stay behind to have a good night’s sleep, but those two little devils were too troublesome. She would leave tonight.

Qiu Tong searched every corner of the house and found very few things she could use.

Apart from two stale buns, there were only a few crumpled notes hidden behind a beam.

It looked like the former Qiu Tong was afraid that the children would steal it.

Qiu Tong only took her ID card and stuffed the remaining notes and stale buns into Qiu Xingyuan’s hands.

“I’m leaving. I’ll leave these for you. Take good care of your younger siblings. Don’t be as stupid as you were just now. You almost lost your own life trying to kill someone. You need to be law-abiding citizens.”

She had said everything that needed to be said!

Whether these children would still grow up to be villains—that was not something she could control!

At least with her gone, they would be able to live a little more comfortably, right?

Qiu Xingyuan gripped the notes tightly. He was momentarily taken aback. “Where are you going?”

Was this really woman going to abandon them?

Qiu Tong looked at his young but determined face and smiled. “Just take it that I’m dead.”

The children: “…”

She strode off. Qiu Xingyu looked at her departing back profile. “Eldest Brother… Mommy doesn’t want us anymore?”

Qiu Xingyuan remained silent. He was feeling rather conflicted.

There were several times when he wished for Qiu Tong to leave them. He even really wished that she would die.

But now that she had really left, his heart felt heavy.

After all, he was still just a six-year-old child.

Qiu Xingyuan hugged his younger brother and sister and comforted them, “Don’t be afraid, so what if she has left? We don’t need her! I will take care of you!”
