Originally, Liang Shuyan did not want to indulge Niu Niu's bad habits, but she did not expect that this would offend the old lady. The old lady went into the house alone without eating, and the whole family was in a bad mood that night.
Liang Shuyan lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), tossing and turning, unable to sleep. So she sat up, put on her clothes, and went to knock on the door, but the old lady did not answer.
Niu Niu whispered, "It's my mom, my grandma. Can you open the door for her?"
There was no movement inside the house, and Liang Shuyan was a little annoyed, so she turned around and went back to her own room.
Grandma Jin questioned Niu Niu: "How did you upset Mr. Su? Mr. Su eats and drinks at our house, how can you stop teaching Niu Niu because of such a small matter?"
Niu Niu then said with a straight face, "Grandma, I fought with Chun Yan. I even kicked Chun Yan in the stomach. Chun Yan hasn't been to school for two days."
"Didn't your aunt come looking for you?"
"Grandma, my sister Chunyan is too stingy. I don't know where she went. I can't find her anywhere. So, the teacher got angry and doesn't plan to teach me anymore."
Does your mother know about this?
Niu Niu shook her head and hurriedly said, "Grandma, I'll tell you about this, but you absolutely mustn't tell my mother, otherwise, my mother will beat me to death!"
Grandma Jin couldn't sleep, so she pulled off the covers, put on her clothes, and walked towards the door. Liang Shuyan was lying in bed in a daze when she heard Grandma Jin say, "Open the door quickly, I have something to tell you!"
Liang Shuyan hurriedly went downstairs to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, the old lady said with a stern face, "Hurry up, get up and look for Chunyan. Chunyan is missing. It turns out that Niu Niu kicked Chunyan's stomach, and Mr. Su got angry. That's why he doesn't want to teach Niu Niu anymore. Niu Niu just told me that. Hurry up and go find Chunyan."
"Mom, I'm not trying to criticize you, but look how much you've spoiled Niu Niu! Look what trouble she's caused! Chun Yan already has it tough in our family, and when she goes back home, her parents don't treat her like a human being. This child has already suffered enough. Niu Niu must have said something really hurtful!"
Liang Shuyan put on her clothes and shoes and went to ask Niu Niu. Grandma Jin quickly followed, saying, "Oh dear, you can leave it alone. Don't disturb Niu Niu in the middle of the night. After all, she's been spoiled by her family since she was little. Don't scare her!"
"Mother, I just want to confirm what happened back then, so that even if we go looking for Chunyan now, we'll know where to look!"
Grandma Jin rushed in first and closed the door behind her. Without a hint of curiosity, she said, "Don't go in. Quickly call Sanwang to go find Chunyan!"
A series of hurried footsteps came from the courtyard: "Quick, Chunyan is missing now. We need to go and find her as soon as possible. This child has a bad temper. It's the middle of the night, and she's a young girl. I'm worried something might happen to her. If Jinwang and his wife come, we won't be able to explain ourselves."
The speaker was none other than Mr. Su.
He held a torch in his hand and said in a low voice.
Liang Shuyan nodded and said, "I'll go call Sanwang and Dashan. It'll be easier to find them if there are more people."
"No need, I've already told them. We should be looking for people in the village now. You should come with me to look for them."
Although Chunyan is Jinwang's daughter, Jinwang has never loved children. She is more like a servant than a child. This child is quite filial. Thinking of this, Liang Shuyan quickened her pace and walked quickly towards the door.
Da Shan returned, looking flustered. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Mother, I've found her. Chun Yan is too scared to go back and ran up the rocky mountain. She's unconscious now, but we can't go up that rock. Should you talk to Li Zheng about this now?"
In the eyes of the villagers, the Stone Mountain was sacred and inviolable, but to her now, it was nothing more than feudal superstition. She said firmly, "No need, it's getting late. You should hurry up and go with Sanwang to rescue Chunyan. I will explain everything clearly."
A group of people rushed up the rocky mountain. They always talked about how sacred this place was, but it was just an ordinary cave and nothing special. The leader of the group was a little timid and hesitated to go forward with his torch. Mr. Su shook his head and said, "Hurry up. If we are late, and there are wild animals in the cave, Chunyan's life will be in danger."
Mr. Su rushed in first, followed closely by Dashan and Sanwang. Liang Shuyan took out a dagger from the system and hid it in her bosom.
As soon as they entered, they heard a strange sound, a snoring sound. The snoring was clearly not human, and Liang Shuyan felt a chill run down her spine. At that moment, a scream suddenly rang out, startling everyone into hugging each other.
Chunyan's cries rang out: "Please, let me go! I want to see my aunt. If I die like this, my aunt will be so worried. Although I'm not my aunt's biological daughter, I know that in this world, only my aunt loves me!"
Liang Shuyan quickened her pace. She refused to believe that there were any monsters in this world. Apart from human beings causing trouble, nothing in the world was more twisted or more terrifying than human nature!
Sure enough, a man in black looked at Chunyan and gently lifted her chin with his fingers, laughing loudly: "I really didn't expect you to be such a grateful person. But little girl, since you're here, you're going to be eaten by me. I don't want to miss this delicious meal!"
Da Shan shouted, "You beast! How dare you lay a hand on my sister! I'll turn you into a dead man right now!"
Liang Shuyan was puzzled: "Does Dashan know who this person is? What exactly is going on?"
Sanwang was holding a stick and was about to hit the man when a white smoke appeared, and even Chunyan disappeared.
Liang Shuyan was shocked: "Oh no! That villain must have taken Chunyan away!"
Liang Shuyan became alert. At this moment, she didn't want to rely on anyone. She had to catch up with the man and stop him to save Chunyan. Otherwise, it might really delay Chunyan's life!
The system activated: "Host, you can use a dagger to deal with that person, but you've already lost the initiative. It seems the only option is to use the lime powder in the system to blind him. If he can't see the road, how can he run? Otherwise, there's no other way!"
The system was recommending things that suited Liang Shuyan's financial situation, so she no longer had a chance to complain about the system. Lime powder it is, as long as she has it, she can find a way to take down this villain!
Once she had the lime powder, she quickly caught up and kicked a stone at the man, who tripped and fell to the ground.
"Chunyan, don't be afraid. With your aunt here, who would dare to bully you?"
