Zhu Yiming stared blankly at his younger sister, finding it increasingly strange. He wanted to tell his mother that he could hear his sister's voice.

But he was worried that his mother might not believe him or might mistakenly think he was crazy.

After much thought, he decided to keep this little secret to himself and not tell anyone.

After deciding to protect his sister's secret, he seemed to have an added sense of mission, gently stroking his sister's little head.

"Xixi, are you hungry? If you are, you can suck your brother's fingers first. Your brother's hands are already clean."

Zhu Xixi almost burst out laughing when she heard Zhu Yiming talking to himself.

[Silly brother, how do you eat your fingers?]

"Brother, don't worry, Xixi's family has hidden the goat well, and they'll let it out tonight."

Zhu Yiming, who was originally teasing his younger sister, suddenly became serious after hearing her words. He looked around and then made a shushing gesture towards his sister.

"Little sister, don't make a sound. We all need to keep our voices down, or Zhu Yanyan will find something to use against us and cause trouble again!"

Zhu Xixi stared blankly at her brother's dirty, smiling face, tilting her head and blowing bubbles while kicking her little feet.

[Brother, you look so handsome when you're serious.]

Zhu Yiming, who had never been praised by anyone before, smiled shyly and secretly after hearing his sister's compliment, all to protect his sister from being bullied.

He stopped lying on the cart and sat up cross-legged, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

The group walked for quite a while, and the sky gradually darkened.

Finally, before it got completely dark, the escorts allowed the team to rest.

After a long day's journey, everyone was finally able to rest and catch their breath.

The Zhu family also chose a cool, large tree, tidied up their luggage on the cart, and planned to make up a bed to rest.

After the vehicle stopped, Zhu Yiming quickly carried his younger sister off the cart and cautiously observed their surroundings.

Then, they found a basket from another cart and put their younger sister in it.

He was going to take his sister into the woods to look for the lost goat. His sister said she had hidden the goat.

The goat will automatically appear as soon as it gets dark. Only his sister knows the goat's location, and he must take his sister with him.

After hoisting the basket onto his back, Zhu Yiming tiptoed away from the group and quietly entered the woods.

However, after he entered the woods, Zhu Yanyan discovered Zhu Yiming's whereabouts and hinted to Zhu Borong to let Zhu Yiming enter the woods.

The Zhu family members, unaware that Zhu Yiming was not at the camp, were resting on a stone bench. Old Mrs. Zhu, worried that her granddaughter would go hungry, took a water jug ​​filled with goat milk and came to the cart.

"Yiming, hand Xixi over to Grandma, Xixi needs milk."

However, when she arrived at the cart, she found it empty; her granddaughter was nowhere to be seen, nor was her grandson.

After discovering that her child was missing, she hurriedly turned around and called out to Liu Meixin.

"Where did Yiming go, Meixin?"

Liu Meixin was helping Zhu Siyu gather branches from the ground to start a fire when she heard her mother-in-law's words and looked blankly at the cart.

"Wasn't he sleeping with Xixi on the cart?"

"It's over, both children are missing."

Upon hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Old Lady Zhu slapped her thigh in a hurry, tied the water bottle around her waist, and turned to enter the woods.

Liu Meixin stared blankly at her mother-in-law's rapidly turning back. It took her a long time to understand what was going on. Frightened, she threw away the branch in her hand and jogged after Old Lady Wen.

"Mom, didn't you see Yiming and Xixi on the cart?"

Upon hearing this, the others quickly put down their work, got up, and followed the two into the woods.

Grandma Wen was worried about the safety of her two children. She looked around frantically, saying as she walked, "They're not here. The car is empty."

"Where will Yiming go?" Liu Meixin was at a loss when she thought of her daughter and son. She followed her mother-in-law in a panic, glancing around every now and then.

As the two wandered aimlessly through the woods, Zhu Chenfeng jogged up to them. "Mom, sister-in-law, I noticed a bamboo basket is missing from the car. Could it be that Yiming took Xixi into the woods to look for food?"

"Yes, he kept blaming himself for losing the food. This child is very thoughtful. He must have thought that Xixi was a lucky star and that if he took her with him, there would be food, so he took her into the woods."

After hearing her brother-in-law's analysis, Liu Meixin suddenly thought of her son's unusual behavior on the way. She looked around anxiously and said...

Compared to the unease of the others, Old Mrs. Zhu appeared much calmer. After pondering for a while, she looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a solemn expression.

“Yiming can’t go far with Xixi on his back. We’ll split into three groups and search separately. Once we find her, we’ll bring her back to camp.”

"good."

The group, who were initially clueless, all jogged away in different directions under the guidance of Old Lady Zhu.

As for Liu Meixin, she and Old Lady Zhu followed the path and went directly into the bushes.

Having already left the camp, Zhu Yiming carried Zhu Xixi into the woods and quietly hid in the bushes.

After confirming that he was not being followed, he lifted the lid of the basket and looked down to check on his sister inside.

"Xixi, are you alright?!"

At this moment, Zhu Xixi was nestled in the bamboo basket, happily waving her little feet. When she saw Zhu Yiming, she blew bubbles and grinned.

[Brother, that's fantastic! Xixi can finally take the goat out.]

Zhu Xixi was worried that she wouldn't be able to release the goat from the bracelet, but now the two of them were in the forest.

She could finally scatter the goats, food, and gold around the forest, hoping her brother would pick them all up and give them to their mother and grandmother.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly waved her little hand, as the bracelet bell rang.

A moment later, the goat appeared in the grass, carrying the leftover food on its back.

"Alright, brother, hurry and find the goat, don't let the bad guys take it away."

Zhu Yiming, who was still observing his surroundings, paused for a moment after hearing his sister's voice and turned around in confusion.

Sure enough, they found the missing goat standing under the tree eating wild grass.

"It's a sheep, it's a goat."

Upon seeing the goat, Zhu Yiming even forgot about Zhu Xixi and excitedly ran towards it.

Meanwhile, following Zhu Yiming's footprints, Grandma Zhu and Liu Meixin finally found their grandson in the bushes.

They also saw Zhu Xixi nestled in a bamboo basket.

When Grandma Zhu saw her granddaughter alone in the bamboo basket, she quickly went over and took her out of the basket.

"Xixi, you scared Grandma to death."

Liu Meixin angrily picked a tree branch, stormed up to Zhu Yiming, grabbed him forcefully, and started hitting him like a madwoman.

"Who told you to run around like that? Who told you to take your sister with you? Do you know that because we've been looking for you, we haven't had time to find food?"

"Waaaaah, Mother, I was wrong, waaaaah."

Zhu Yiming wanted to tell Liu Meixin about finding the goat, but before he could speak, he saw his mother rush over with a tree branch, pull him up, and whip him mercilessly.
