None of the three elderly women expected the other party to ask such a question.
The kind old lady looked at the five people's faces carefully again.
The old woman, being shrewd and perceptive, noticed that the other party meant no harm and instead showed signs of worry. So she stopped hiding her intentions.
“Their father, Hu Cheng, was brought back by Old Man Hu. He has no memory of it, which is why we consider you to be the children’s mother’s relatives.”
"He was quite good to Old Man Hu when he was alive, but Old Woman Hu and her son, you know what I mean."
"After Old Hu passed away, all the work in the Hu family fell to the town. Even though other children his age were old enough to work in the fields, no one wanted to arrange marriages for him."
"That boy from the small town was hardworking. He married a girl who had fled famine and supported his whole family with his own two hands, but he also developed a chronic illness as a result and died young."
“You must be relatives from this small town. If only we had found you a few years earlier.”
In those days, many people got separated from their families, and probably very few were ever found again. It was all fate.
Judging from their clothes, they must be from well-off families. If only we had come earlier...
"Grandma Qiu, Grandma Qiu, is Grandpa Qiu home?"
A little boy came running along the village road, panting heavily, seemingly frightened, his lips turning pale.
"Tiedan, what's wrong? What do you need your Grandpa Qiu for?"
The woman called Grandma Qiu was a kind old lady, and Grandpa Qiu, whom the boy mentioned, was her husband and the only doctor at the village clinic.
“Brother Kong, he cut off Brother Yong’s bird, blood, a lot of blood.”
"What?"
Grandma Qiu's face turned pale instantly, as if she had thought of something, and she hurriedly spoke to Xie Lin and the others.
"You guys hurry over there. Tie Dan, you run fast, lead them through the back path. I'll go call your Grandpa Qiu."
"Okay, Grandma, brothers, come with me."
The five people, with solemn expressions, ran after the child.
Xie Lin thought of a possibility, and he clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could punch that scoundrel away.
Damn it, I should have chopped up his tools earlier.
Two other old ladies stuffed the candy into their pockets and followed along with their bound feet; they couldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime scene.
The child led them through a maze of turns, and soon they reached the end of the village and turned into a fork in the road.
From a great distance, you could see that the two lonely houses were surrounded by a large crowd.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Tie Dan shouted.
Everyone thought it was Tie Dan who had summoned Grandpa Qiu, but it turned out to be five strangers.
The crowd parted to make way, and the captain, looking worried, was about to ask who it was when another loud shout came from behind.
"Make way, make way! Wild boars are coming!"
Wild boar?
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
One look and I was terrified.
With its enormous size and ferocious nature, what else could it be but a wild boar?
"Ahhh, a wild boar! It really is a wild boar! Run!"
"Run! Wild boars are coming down the mountain!"
The throng of people scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.
The captain's face turned pale. He didn't know whether to run or not. In fact, his legs were weak, and he was in the yard, so there was no time to run.
Blood was splattered all the way ahead, and if I retreated, I would be splattered with blood on the spot. My God, am I going to lose my life?
"Quick, come inside, I'm closing the door," he shouted at the five strangers.
The fence can't keep wild boars out. These guys are tall and strong. If they go inside and find some tools, they should be able to kill the wild boars and save the village.
Xie Lin reacted quickly, picked up a stone from the corner of the wall and was about to step forward when he looked closely.
Um?
Little girl and Ugly?
Yes, that was the little girl's voice just now.
"Hey, don't hunt wild boars. They need to eat; they've come looking for food."
Lu Fan and Zhang Dong quickly looked for tools, but couldn't find anything suitable, so they ran into the kitchen and grabbed two sticks. What they heard when they ran out was this sentence.
Wild boars eating?
Why can't they understand?
Zhou Yan pulled Song Yunjiang into the courtyard, where they saw a young boy holding a blood-stained knife, staring expressionlessly at the unconscious man on the ground.
A middle-aged man was huddled in the corner by the entrance to the main room, shivering.
Standing next to the young boy was another young boy, both of whom were furious. Upon hearing that a wild boar had come down from the mountain, neither of them showed any fear, giving the impression that they were ready to die.
Song Yunjiang felt a sudden pang in her heart. She wanted to approach the two boys and speak to them, but the wild boar had already rushed in, its target precisely stopping next to the unconscious man. It opened its mouth, picked him up, chewed, and swallowed.
Then he turned around swiftly and went back to where he came from.
It ate that stuff.
The brigade leader pressed himself tightly against the fence, one hand covering his mouth and the other covering his crotch, not daring to make a sound, for fear that a wild boar would visit him.
"Rotten egg, you can eat it. Bird, you can..."
Xie Lin silently squeezed his legs together and covered the obviously excited guy's big mouth.
He guessed that this guy must have heard Chou Chou mention Feng and Kong's house, and then used his spiritual power to investigate.
The original intention was to wait for him to come, but when he saw the bird land, he gave up a piece of wild boar meat to make a deal with it in order to verify whether the bird was edible.
He had seen it clearly just now; the wild boar's steps didn't falter at all. It ran away as soon as it finished eating, as if it had come specifically for that thing.
He would never believe it wasn't controlled by the little girl, not even if you beat him to death.
You brat, can't your brain forget things you shouldn't remember?
How am I supposed to eat with you again...? *cough cough*
The road ahead is long, very long!
It has to be said that no one knows a wife better than her husband; he guessed most of it correctly.
Shishi actually felt that waiting for Choudan was too boring, so she sent her spiritual energy down the mountain, hoping to find a place with people to listen to some gossip.
Then he saw a suspicious-looking man enter the house, and was pleased to see the boy lying on the bed. He climbed up to go to sleep as well.
