"Grandma Liang, why are you leaving so quickly? Is there something urgent?"

An old man saw Granny Liang walking past him in a hurry. He blinked and asked in confusion.

When Granny Liang heard what Grandpa said, she stopped and asked, "Old Wang, have you been collecting firewood here?" She saw a pile of collected firewood at his feet, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Did you see Lian'er passing by here just now? The little girl told me that she had something to do, and asked me to go to her house to take care of her mother. Now her mother has woken up, but Lian'er hasn't come back yet."

Granny Liang frowned, swallowed her saliva, moistened her throat, and said, "She said that Lian'er had mentioned before that she was going to the back mountain, and now she hasn't come back, she is worried. If Lian'er really went to the back mountain alone and something happened, I don't know how to explain it to her mother."

She licked her lower lip and sighed.

Anyway,

At that time, he naturally noticed his abnormality and should have stopped him, otherwise such a thing would not have happened. But now it is too late to say anything. The most important thing now is to find him quickly, before he finds out. So now when Granny Liang sees someone and thinks he has been there for a long time, she will immediately ask him if he has seen Lian'er.

"I saw that little girl walking by, but she just said hello to me and didn't say anything else. When I saw him, I asked if his mother was feeling better now. He just nodded and left in a hurry without saying anything. He seemed to be in a hurry." The old man was originally quite relaxed and was greeting Granny Liang, but after hearing what Granny Liang said, his expression immediately became nervous.

He frowned, thinking back to when he saw Lian'er just now, and then told Granny Liang everything he had seen.

"Where did you see him leave from? I'll go along that road and ask. Now we can only hope that he is really just going to do something and not go to the back mountain alone. Even adults don't easily set foot there. He is still a child. If he really goes there and encounters some ferocious beast, how can he deal with it alone?" Granny Liang said with some concern.

"What do you think a little girl would do in the back hills?" Uncle Wang was a little puzzled. "Could it be that her mother was worried, so she made such a wild guess? A little girl like her wouldn't go there, right? There's nothing else going on, and her mother is still at home. Ling'er is usually very obedient, so she would definitely know that if she went to a dangerous place alone, her mother would be worried, so she wouldn't go there alone."

Granny Liang thought for a moment, swallowed her saliva, and said with open lips: "I think he probably wants to go to the back mountain to catch some game for his mother to nourish her body. After all, all of us here eat coarse grains or wild vegetables, which are not very nutritious. His mother is already sick, so he wants to go to the mountain to catch some meat for her mother to supplement her nutrition."
