Chapter 65: Buns are more important than life!
The young boy saw the fat girl holding half of the bun skin and felt so distressed that he didn't know what to say.
Isn't it more important to stay alive now?
Children are children. They probably don’t know how dangerous their current situation is.
The young boy was very scared at first, but with this silly fat girl around, he gained a little courage.
He held the fat girl tightly in his arms to prevent her from touching the cold ground, and then whispered to the fat girl.
"Little sister, where are you from? Why are you here?"
Zhuzhu was about to speak when her little stomach suddenly rumbled.
She looked at the bun skin in her hand, then at her little belly, and the fat on her face was full of confusion.
Finally, she brought the bun wrapper to the young boy's mouth, "Brother, have a bite first! Mother said that Zhuzhu can't eat alone!"
The young boy really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At this time, the fat girl was still thinking about sharing the bun skins?
But seeing the expectation in her eyes and her chubby little face, he really lowered his head and took a small bite.
The bun skin was completely cold and not very tasty.
The young boy was not in the mood, so naturally he couldn't taste the sweetness.
But Zhuzhu ate with gusto, complaining softly, "The buns are delicious. It's all the bad guys' fault. Zhuzhu hasn't brought buns home for her brothers yet."
Brothers?
Hope suddenly ignited in the young boy's heart, and he whispered, "Little sister, where do you live? Are there many people at home?"
After eating the bun skin, Zhuzhu felt a little cold in her stomach, so she snuggled into the boy's arms, like a little fat bear hanging on a tree.
She answered without any defense, "Zhuzhu's home is at the foot of the mountain. Grandpa carried Zhuzhu on his back for a long way. Zhuzhu fell asleep. Then we entered the big city gate and bought some buns."
The young boy felt helpless listening. This little girl loved buns so much that she couldn't stop talking about them.
Fortunately, Zhuzhu continued, "Zhuzhu has many brothers! The eldest brother is awesome, he can fight, the second brother is awesome, he can read! The third brother is awesome, he can take out bird eggs, and the fourth brother is awesome, he can... catch fish!"
The more the young boy listened, the more disappointed he became. He could not expect more people to come look for him with his family.
This little girl lives far away from home, and her brothers are all naughty boys...
Zhuzhu had no idea that the young boy was in despair after she said that, and was still trying to show off.
"My mother is also very good. She can make beautiful clothes! My father can feed Dahei, my second uncle can carve rabbits, my third uncle can buy snacks, and my second aunt can steam delicious egg custard..."
Little boy...
Zhuzhu was talking happily, and the light in the corner of the cellar disappeared, and the surroundings became even colder.
Zhuzhu sneezed and finally felt a little scared.
How can Zhuzhu sleep if her mother doesn’t hold her in her arms?
Zhuzhu hasn't even finished listening to the story yet, but she's already feeling hungry...
Seeing that the little girl in his arms was particularly well-behaved, like a kitten, the young boy hugged her even tighter, and even opened her clothes to wrap her up with an extra layer...
In the dilapidated courtyard in the north of the city, all the members of the Tai family gathered together, but each of them returned empty-handed.
Tai'an County was so barren that it couldn't even fit into the top 300 cities of the entire Wei Dynasty. But it was too easy to hide a little girl there.
The Tai family couldn't search every house, so they could only shout on the streets and ask people, which was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Everyone shouted until their voices were hoarse and squatted on the ground, desperately drinking water.
In the kitchen, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang were forcing themselves to make porridge for everyone despite their red and swollen eyes.
The tribesmen came to help and worked so hard, we can’t let them go hungry.
But when Yang Lihua thought about her daughter who was suffering and freezing somewhere, and even didn't know whether she was alive or dead, she felt as if her heart was being dug out, and she was in so much pain that she had difficulty breathing.
Liu Dongniang was also wiping her tears while working. She only gave birth to one son, and he was very naughty.
She really loves her little niece Zhuzhu as her own daughter.
After all, she is such a sensible, soft, fair and tender little girl. If she often sits in her arms and gives her a kiss, anyone's heart will melt into a pool of honey!
The child has been missing for most of the day, and it's getting dark. He must be hungry...
She bought eggs and made some steamed egg custard. But the egg custard was still golden, and the child who was eating it was not around...
Yang Lihua forced herself to be strong and went out to call everyone to eat, but Zhimaqiu kept whining and biting her trouser legs.
When they learned that Zhuzhu was missing, the whole family went into the city to look for her.
Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and even Tai Yongning came, and Zhimaqiu followed them.
Remembering that her daughter loved sesame balls, Yang Lihua squatted down to touch them and told them, "We are busy at home, please don't mess with sesame balls."
But Zhimaqiu was very annoyed and started biting her sleeve, trying to push towards the gate.
Yang Lihua wanted to shake him off, but suddenly something came to her mind.
My daughter is different from other children, and she knows it best.
Ever since my daughter woke up, our family has been prosperous. Even when we encounter danger, we can avoid it. Even the big black horse and the little black dog we just bought are closer to Zhuzhu than anyone else...
"Dad, Dad!" Yang Lihua stumbled into the house, knelt down in front of the old man, and shouted, "Dad, Zhimaqiu keeps pulling at my trouser legs and wants to leave the hospital! Zhuzhu and Zhimaqiu have always played well together. Do you think... can Zhimaqiu find Zhuzhu?"
The old man was puffing on his empty pipe. The wrinkles on his forehead were like ridges. He looked seven or eight years older in just half a day.
Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, he suddenly stood up and looked at Zhimaqiu who was sobbing and wandering around the door, his eyes shining.
"How could I be so stupid? That blind half-immortal also said that Zhuzhu is near home! I thought it was Dadong Mountain. No, no! Maybe she's near this shabby yard. Come on, follow Zhimaqiu! Follow her!"
He raised his foot and rushed out. The others didn't know what was going on, but they followed him.
Black Sesame Ball left the yard and ran straight to the northwest.
To the east of this broken courtyard is the prosperous Dongcheng District, and to the northwest is an abandoned shantytown, which is even more dilapidated than the area rented by the Tai family. The small road is covered with half-human-high wormwood, and this is also where the Tai family comes to chop kindling every time.
Black Sesame Ball walked and sniffed along the way, and everyone who followed him became more and more nervous. They unconsciously lowered their voices and slowed down their steps.
I don't know how long I walked, but Black Sesame Ball finally stopped completely and called softly towards the base of the wall.
Everyone was confused. After all, it didn't look like there was a child hiding at the base of the wall!
The old man waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then quietly walked over with his sons.
But the other side of the wall was very deserted and no sound could be heard.
Black Sesame Ball probably couldn't stand the "stupidity" of the crowd, so he ran over with his little legs and picked up a "little black ball" from under the wall.
Everyone felt disappointed, wondering if this puppy was the father who brought them here to find his companions!
But the old man picked up the little black ball and broke it open completely!
