75

Tang Yue found it amusing to see Big Needle's excited expression, but her face quickly changed. Just as Big Needle was about to poke a gray rabbit in the belly, Tang Yue shouted anxiously in her mind.

"Don't prick your stomach with a pin."

The pin paused for a moment, then seemed a little lost. If it couldn't prick the stomach, where could it prick? It thought this place was the biggest and roundest, and the sound it would make would be very pleasant.

"Punch its head, but only once per rabbit, no more than once."

Tang Yue was certain that if she didn't describe it correctly, the rabbit she received later might just be a meaty mess riddled with holes.

Big-Thumb was clearly reluctant, but Tang Yue's expression was serious, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation, so Big-Thumb reluctantly stabbed at a rabbit's head.

The rabbit's skull is still quite hard. When the pin pierced it, there was a slight "click" sound. The pin was excited; the sound seemed quite nice.

The other rabbit was still scratching at the grass, seemingly unaware of the approaching danger.

Its companion lay dead beside it, and only then did it slowly turn around. But by then it was too late; another "crack" was heard, and then both rabbits breathed their last.

Tang Yue was very satisfied with Big Needle's performance. "Big Needle, you did a great job. Go have some fun."

The pin was very happy to be praised by its owner and flew back to its original spot to stick the stone.

The rock was originally so large that two adults would barely be able to encircle it, but now it was riddled with holes from being pricked by pins. Tang Yue was certain that in a few more minutes, the large rock might be gone.

With a smile, Tang Yue picked up the two rabbits. Her thumbtack was quite professional; only a little blood remained on the rabbits' heads. Tang Yue didn't go any further; she needed to hurry home to bleed the rabbits.

I've heard that if an animal isn't bled for too long after it dies, it will greatly affect its taste.

She picked up the rabbit and headed towards the woodpile. She had indeed taken quite a while to walk there, and when she got there, she saw Tang Bei pacing anxiously back and forth beside the woodpile.

Tang Yue suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

Tang Bei breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw Tang Yue, but his expression was still not good.

"Yueyue is back? Is she hurt anywhere?"

Tang Yue shook her head and held up the two rabbits in her hands in front of Tang Bei. "Big brother, I caught two rabbits. We can eat rabbit meat tonight."

Tang Bei didn't even look at the rabbit, and gave a perfunctory compliment, "Yeah, little sister is great."

If Tang Yue still can't see the problem now, she'll really be a fool.

"Brother, what happened? Why are you so worried?"

As he spoke, he looked down the mountain and asked, "How long have my second and third brothers been gone?"

Tang Bei didn't want his sister to worry, but now he really had no other choice.

“Little sister, your second and third brothers have been back for more than half an hour. At your second brother’s speed, he should be back in about 20 minutes. It’s been more than ten minutes now, and I’m a little worried.”

Tang Yue thought that ten minutes or so wasn't a long time. "Oh, maybe they were just getting a drink of water or going to the bathroom at home and that took a while? It should be fine."

As she said this, Tang Yue's consciousness began to wander towards home. But there was no one at home. Only two bundles of firewood lay at the front door.

Tang Yue frowned; she had a bad feeling.

"Brother, how many trips have you made?"

“First, I went back with your second brother. This time, your second brother insisted on carrying me back again, so he went back with your third brother first.”

"You said they've been back for over half an hour?"

"Hmm, it should have been almost forty minutes now."

Tang Yue took a deep breath. Human traffickers? The key point is that the human traffickers just happened to run into her second and third brothers?

They would never change course while carrying firewood, so they must have encountered someone.

Tang Yue's consciousness immediately covered the entire village, and Tang Bei became a little anxious upon hearing Tang Yue's words.

"Sister, do you know? Where are they?"

The whole family knew about his sister's abilities, and he was eager to hear her describe where they were running around or playing. But Tang Yue's expression grew increasingly serious.

"Big brother, second brother and third brother didn't come home at all."

"What? How could that be? No way. Even if Ernan is naughty sometimes, your third brother will remind him to do his work properly."

Tang Yue's consciousness was carefully checking each house one by one. After five minutes, Tang Yue shook her head, "Big brother, second brother, and third brother are not in the village. They are not in any of the houses."

Tang Bei could barely stand. He leaned against the woodpile, his voice trembling, "Sister, what if they've run into human traffickers again?" After saying that, he took off running down the mountain to find Mom and Grandpa.

Tang Yue didn't stop her. She wanted to see if the human traffickers were still around. It would be good if her brother could catch someone.

Tang Yue extended her consciousness to the production team's fields, and after a few minutes, she understood the situation there. There was no trace of Tang Nan or Tang Dong.

Who exactly is it?

Tang Yue's consciousness returned to the road they had taken home. She had only seen a short distance when her gaze changed.

She noticed that the two bundles of firewood that her second and third brothers were carrying were lying alone on the ground, not too far from the cowshed.

Tang Yue followed the marks on the ground and found that they seemed to have been dragged up the mountain by someone.

The footprints on the ground were messy, and I don't know if my second and third brothers made them on purpose, but they were very obvious.
