Yang Wanwan was lost in thought, glancing at the sky every now and then, as if waiting for a warning.

From this vantage point, she could see Er Ye and Shang Tao's youthful faces, their dark complexions, and their thin, bony bodies.

Futaba is thirteen years old, but she hasn't developed much because of malnutrition.

Shang Tao is eleven years old and will be in sixth grade next semester. He is very lively and mischievous.

In this life, she must protect her younger brother and sister, and prevent those wolves and tigers from succeeding in their schemes.

"Dad, Mom..."

Suddenly, Shang Tao muttered something in his sleep.

Their parents both died in a car accident four years ago.

Grandpa Yang had three sons: Yang Dali, Yang Youneng, and Yang Jinqiang. In addition, Yang Wanwan also had two aunts.

Da Gu, Yang Dali, and Yang Youneng were born to Grandpa Yang's first wife.

After his first wife passed away, Grandpa Yang married the widowed Grandma Yang, and they had Yang Jinqiang and his aunt Yang Xiaojia.

Yang Wanwan's father, Yang Jinqiang, and mother, Fu Jiyun, are quite shrewd and capable. They have built a considerable fortune, built the best villa in the village, and saved up some money, but they have spent most of it in the past few years.

Fortunately, the villa was fully furnished with all kinds of furniture, and there were several small houses in the yard outside, which served as woodsheds, pigsties, and chicken coops—everything was provided. Flowers and plants were planted along the edge of the yard, filling the air with fragrance and vibrant colors all year round, making it a very beautiful place.

This was considered a top-notch house and courtyard in the countryside at the time, and everyone in the village envied it.

The siblings have enough to live on and don't need to rely on others.

When his parents passed away, Shang Tao was too young, so he lived with Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang until he was nine years old before returning to his own home.

Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang often come over to take care of their grandchildren.

Fortunately, the local customs are still relatively simple and honest. Looking around for hundreds of miles, there are many similar left-behind children everywhere. The three siblings have grown up safely and peacefully.

In her past life, Yang Wanwan also had a fever around this time, but she stayed in bed for almost half a month. After half a month, she was able to get up, but she didn't recover completely and wasn't fully recovered until the start of the school year. She was left with lingering health problems.

After that, he didn't go to school and went out to work with other villagers, so he was considered to have dropped out of junior high school.

Besides, even if she didn't work, she wouldn't have the money to go to school.

Because if she doesn't work, Er Ye and Shang Tao won't be able to continue their studies.

Years later, the Lin family came looking for her. They funded her to attend night school, where she earned a university degree and also arranged an excellent job for her. Yang Wanwan was extremely grateful and became completely devoted to the Lin family, deeply thankful for their kindness.

But...

Who would have thought it was a den of wolves and tigers?

Just as she was thinking about the past, a thin boy walked over, carrying a turtle. He glanced at Yang Wanwan, put the turtle down, and left.

this……

Who is it?

Why aren't you saying a word?

Er Ye rubbed her eyes and sat up. She immediately saw the turtle and was first surprised, then asked, "Sister, was that turtle sent by Pan the Mute?"

Pan the Mute?

Yang Wanwan thought and thought, but remained completely lost.

Er Ye said to herself, "Sister, we've told him not to send anything anymore, but he just won't listen. Yesterday afternoon he sent a string of frogs, and today he even sent a turtle. That's much better. The day before yesterday he sent a snake, which scared me to death."

Shang Tao rubbed his eyes and got up, saying, "Pan the Mute wasn't trying to scare you. He just thought the snake meat was delicious and gave it to us to eat."

Fuya asked in confusion, "So, he eats snakes regularly?"

"That's right. His parents treated him very badly, making him do a lot of work and not feeding him. To fill his stomach, he would catch snakes to eat."

Er Ye stretched and yawned. "His parents are really biased. Why don't they see his twin brother and sister doing so much work? But this mute Pan is really a grateful person. My sister saved him once, and he brought us food."

Yang Wanwan then remembered who this Pan the Mute was.

This is the eldest son of a family living fifty meters away from their home. His nickname is Pan the Mute, and his formal name is Pan Yiming.

He was given this nickname because he grew up with his mute grandfather, didn't start speaking until he was five years old, and rarely spoke at all.

He returned to his own home when his grandfather passed away when he was eight years old.

He didn't start school until he was ten years old, and when he did start school, he wouldn't speak when the teacher asked him to answer questions.

According to his mother, Liu Bamei, Pan the Mute is now fifteen years old, and Liu Bamei has only heard him speak a handful of times.

Normally, Pan the Mute not only doesn't speak, but he also doesn't like to interact with people, which makes him seem very strange.

His parents and siblings all despised him, regarding him as a disgrace to the family. He worked like a slave, yet no one cared for him, nor did they provide him with enough food or clothing.

Yang Wanwan had saved this mute man, Pan, from a pond in her past life.

That is, the boy I rescued the day before yesterday.

Yang Wanwan is a decent swimmer, and she didn't hesitate to save Pan the mute man after seeing him drowning.

After saving him, Yang Wanwan had exerted a lot of effort, and coupled with catching a cold and being exposed to the wind, that's why she got sick.

The next day, Pan the Mute began delivering things to Yang Wanwan's family.

This is the third time he has delivered something today.

Shang Tao, carrying the turtle, said happily, "Big sister, we're having meat again! Should we invite Pan the mute over for dinner tonight?"

It seems that Yang Wanwan invited Pan the Mute to eat the food he brought over the previous times.

Yang Wanwan suddenly remembered that every time Pan the Mute delivered food, after it was cooked, Yang Wanwan would send Shang Tao to call Pan the Mute to eat.

In their past life, this turtle was the last meal they ate together.

After that, Yang Wanwan fell ill again, and Pan the Mute also fell ill.

Yang Wanwan vaguely remembered that Liu Bamei also said that Pan the Mute was going to die. It was rare for someone to die of illness at the age of fifteen or sixteen, even in the countryside, so everyone in the village knew about it.

It was also said that Liu Bamei and his wife carried the dying Pan the mute to the mountain overnight, saying that it was unlucky for a minor to die at home.

It is said that a few days later, passersby discovered that the stretcher used to carry Pan the mute was still there, and Pan the mute's clothes and shoes were torn to shreds by animals and scattered everywhere, along with some bones.

As for Pan the Mute's corpse...

People say that Pan the Mute was eaten by a wild beast...

Thinking about all this, Yang Wanwan couldn't help but shudder.

There are still parents like this in the world, and people like this who are so cold and heartless.

This mute Pan is so pitiful!

Now that she has been reborn, Yang Wanwan is determined to save this ill-fated but grateful mute man, Pan.

Yang Wanwan composed herself and said, "Er Ye, Shang Tao, sell this turtle, then buy a few pounds of pork, cook it, and invite him over to eat."
