"Okay, then we'll take the baby with us and go there every day. You can't find us annoying." Chen Suihuan joked with Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Of course not, I will make delicious food for the children."

Su Yue also said a few words to join in the fun. Just as the two were about to continue talking, Chen Suihuan suddenly heard a noise and immediately asked them to be quiet.

They were already deep in the mountains. Although Lu Xingyan had said that there were no wild beasts here, it was still a mountain after all, so it was not surprising that something would come here.

Seeing Chen Suihuan's fearful look, Su Yue and Aunt Zhang stood quietly by, listening to the noises nearby just like Chen Suihuan.

Su Yue and Aunt Zhang listened for a while but didn't notice anything, so they went to see Chen Suihuan with some confusion.

Chen Suihuan had very good five senses. She knew the noise came from the south. She had just woken up and was pulling Su Yue and Aunt Zhang to take another route when she suddenly heard a very soft cry for help.

That was the voice of a little child, very weak.

"It's a human, and he's still shouting for help." Chen Suihuan said immediately, then ran quickly towards the south.

After running for about thirty or forty seconds, the cry for help became louder and louder, and Su Yue and Aunt Zhang could hear it clearly.

Aunt Zhang suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "There is a steep slope further ahead. After you pass that steep slope, you will reach the place with lots of wild vegetables that I mentioned.

Someone must have accidentally slipped while climbing this steep slope. Judging from the sound, he shouldn't have fallen yet. Quick, let's go and save him! ”

When Chen Suihuan heard this, she quickly took out the hemp rope from the backpack. In addition to picking mushrooms and digging wild vegetables, they also had to collect some firewood and bring it down the mountain.

Hemp rope is used to bundle firewood, and Chen Suihuan and her friends all bring some with them.

Aunt Zhang knew the place, and the three of them quickly headed towards the steep slope. Sure enough, they saw a skinny girl of about seven or eight years old hanging on the branch of a tall tree at the bottom of the steep slope.

The girl looked up when she heard the noise and immediately said, "Save me, please save me! I don't want to fall and die!"

Aunt Zhang also looked down and immediately exclaimed, "Ah! Isn't this Xiaofang? How did you fall here? Who told you to climb the mountain?"

Liu Xiaofang is the daughter of Liu Chunfang and the granddaughter of Huang Guihua.

There was no time to worry about anything else at this time. Chen Suihuan asked Su Yue to bring the hemp rope as well, tied the two together, and let them down for Liu Xiaofang to catch.

However, Liu Xiaofang had been hanging here for an unknown period of time, and her hands and feet were stiff, and she couldn't hold the hemp rope at all.

Seeing her hands shaking, Chen Suihuan frowned, then glanced at Su Yue beside him: "Su Yue, do you dare to go down?"

Chen Suihuan is very strong. He can stand here and grab the hemp rope to let Su Yue down and then pull the other two up. But he doesn't know whether Su Yue is willing to go down and save people.

Su Yue glanced at the steep slope and hesitated a little, but seeing how pitiful Liu Xiaofang looked, she finally nodded: "Okay, let me go down, and I'll carry her up."

Aunt Zhang said anxiously, "Is it possible? How about I go down the mountain and find someone to come up, otherwise we won't be able to come up after we go down."

Su Yue said: "I believe in Sui Huan, she is very strong and can definitely pull both of us up."

After saying that, Su Yue tied the hemp rope around her waist. Chen Suihuan was worried and tied it twice more before letting Su Yue go down.

Although Liu Xiaofang is already eight years old this year, she is very thin, about forty years old, with skin covering bones, so it is not difficult for Su Yue to hold her.

Chen Suihuan didn't even feel how heavy they were. He just shook his hands and pulled Su Yue and Liu Xiaofang up.

Aunt Zhang quickly took Liu Xiaofang and put her on the ground. The clothes on Liu Xiaofang didn't fit her at all. Her bare arms and legs were covered with scratches from tree branches.

Mint leaves have the effect of stopping bleeding. Chen Suihuan picked two handfuls of mint leaves, crushed them with a spoon, and then put them on the bleeding area of ​​Liu Xiaofang to help her stop the bleeding and disinfect it.

"Xiaofang, why did you come up the mountain by yourself? It's so dangerous on the mountain, where is your mother?" Aunt Zhang took out her kettle, fed Liu Xiaofang two sips, and then asked.

Liu Xiaofang's body was all bones, and there were many old wounds under her clothes, some from being whipped, and some from being pinched by nails.

The bruises and purple marks on her body told one thing and another what kind of life she had led.

Chen Suihuan looked at Liu Xiaofang with a complicated expression, and Su Yue's eyes were full of heartache.

Liu Xiaofang seemed to feel very safe here with Aunt Zhang. She snuggled into Aunt Zhang's arms and said, "My grandma asked my mom to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. My mom had to wash clothes, cook, and help my grandma wipe her body. She had no time to come and pick wild vegetables.

If my mother didn't come, my grandmother would beat her. I didn't want my mother to be beaten, so I came to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

There were no wild vegetables left at the foot of the mountain. I hadn’t dug any for several days. When I brought back some, my grandma scolded me when she saw them.

So I kept going up the mountain today, wanting to see if there was anything there, but I ended up falling down and even my backpack fell off.

Grandma Zhang, if I go home like this, my grandma will definitely beat me to death! ”

Not only did they not find any wild vegetables, they also lost the backpack. Huang Guihua didn't worry about whether Liu Xiaofang was injured or not. She just thought it was all Liu Xiaofang's fault and beat her severely.

Chen Suihuan and Su Yue both listened to Liu Xiaofang with frowns on their faces. Seeing her trembling when she mentioned her grandmother, they felt even more distressed for her.

This Huang Guihua is really abominable. Such a cute child is really pitiful.

"Suihuan, she is so pitiful. Can we help her?" Su Yue pulled Chen Suihuan's clothes and whispered.

Chen Suihuan asked: "How can we help? Buy him a new backpack? Or take him to pick wild vegetables?

We can do all these to help her, but we still can't save her. Huang Guihua will still beat her if she is unhappy with something. ”

After sighing, Chen Suihuan said, "Aunt Zhang, there should be a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain. Let's take her along and go digging for wild vegetables.

When you go back, send the wild vegetables back to her. ”

Aunt Zhang nodded when she heard this. Beating children was someone else's family affair and they had no way of interfering. All they could do was to let Liu Xiaofang get beaten less often.

The three of them took Liu Xiaofang all the way up the mountain. After Xiaoxin crossed the steep slope, they soon arrived at a place where many wild vegetables grew.

Four people were digging together. Liu Xiaofang didn't know whether she was afraid or wanted to go home quickly, but she buried her head in the digging, and her movements were no slower than the three adults.

Chen Suihuan deliberately slowed down, and the four of them wasted a long time on the mountain, waiting until the sun was about to set and Aunt Zhang was about to go down the mountain.

After passing the steep slope, the four of them suddenly heard a shouting voice, and soon they recognized that it was a woman who was shouting Liu Xiaofang's name at the top of her lungs.
