Chapter 5: Baoya is a disaster star?
Feishui Village is nestled in the mountains and beside the water, and is actually a good place to raise people.
However, there have been severe droughts in the past two years, and all the crops in the fields have died of drought. On the Tiger Tooth Mountain behind the village, any wild grass or fruit has disappeared as the starving villagers have pulled them out until not even the roots are left.
The small river at the foot of the mountain was almost dry. Occasionally, there were one or two small fish scraps as thick as a child's little finger in the cracks between the rocks, but they were caught by the villagers and used to fill their teeth.
Yun Chenglu carried Baoya up the mountain along the path, and the morning breeze felt cool on his face.
Baoya looked at the bare rocks on both sides of the mountain road and the difficult road to walk on, so she struggled twice and tried to get down.
Yun Chenglu patted her little butt lightly and threatened: "Behave yourself, or I'll throw you down."
Baoya was not afraid of him at all. She blinked her grape-like eyes and said, "Second brother, please put me down. I can walk by myself."
When she was at the Chen family, no one ever hugged her.
Moreover, she eats so much that she is afraid that her second brother can’t hold her.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chenglu burst out laughing.
"Are you afraid that I'll get tired? With your little weight, I can carry you around the mountain for a whole lap."
"That second brother is really awesome!" Baoya gave him a thumbs up, and curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a pair of dimples.
Yun Chenglu was so adorable that he almost fell overwhelmed by her. He raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose: "That's fine. Come on, let me take you to find wild grapes!"
The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked along the mountain road, looking for wild grapes in the cracks of the rocks, completely unaware that there was a little tail following them from a distance.
Chen Xiaojuan was carrying a small basket in her hand, pouting, with her cheeks puffed up.
Now that Baoya, that little glutton, is gone, a lot of housework falls on her.
Just this morning, Zhou Cuihua pulled her up from the kang and said that there was no vegetable left at home, so she asked her to go up the mountain to see if there were any wild vegetables or mushrooms to take home as a snack.
If Baoya were still at her house, it wouldn't be her turn to do these chores. It would definitely be Baoya who did it.
She was muttering to herself as she walked up the mountain, and then she saw Yun Chenglu carrying Baoya up the mountain.
Chen Xiaojuan was so angry. Baoya, that good-for-nothing, had just arrived at the Yun family and she had already bribed that brat Yun Chenglu?
How could Yun Chenglu, that little devil, actually hold Baoya and talk and laugh with her?
She carried a small basket and quickened her pace. She didn't care about picking wild vegetables or anything like that. She wanted to see what these two people were doing up the mountain. She wanted to see what kind of love potion Bao Ya had given Yun Chenglu that made him so obedient in less than a day.
On the other side, Yun Chenglu and Baoya walked around for a long time but didn't pick anything. Yun Chenglu looked a little depressed.
Baoya bit her little finger and pointed to an inconspicuous path nearby: "Second brother, why don't we go this way and take a look."
For some reason, she had a vague feeling that there must be something on this road.
Yun Chenglu didn't know what she was thinking. Anyway, everything that could be harvested on the mountain had basically been picked by the villagers, so it didn't matter which route they took.
Since Baoya is willing, let’s go.
"Okay, let's take this road."
As he said this, he carried Baoya and turned around.
As a result, before she took two steps, Baoya suddenly shook her two short legs and said excitedly: "Second brother! Look what that is!"
Yun Chenglu looked in the direction of her finger and wow!
Under a large bare rock, there is a small green thing.
He walked closer holding Baoya in his arms and saw that it was actually a small wild grape vine!
The grape vines are not big, but they are full of purple wild grapes, each one is round and plump, and still covered with morning dew!
"Wow!" Baoya shook her little feet, broke free from Yun Chenglu's arms and ran over.
She carefully picked the wild grapes one bunch at a time, four bunches in total.
Baoya kept one string for herself and handed another to Yun Chenglu: "Second brother, this is for you."
Yun Chenglu swallowed the bunch of wild grapes whole from her hand and immediately smiled: "How sweet! Our Baoya is really amazing. She found it in no time."
"Haha, second brother is really awesome. If he hadn't brought Baoya here, Baoya wouldn't be able to find it."
Baoya blinked her eyes and shook the two remaining bunches of wild grapes in her hand: "Let's take these two back to give to the third and fourth sisters to eat."
There were only a few wild grapes, but the adults ate them without hesitation, so they naturally took them back for the two little sisters to eat.
"Okay." Yun Chenglu touched her head.
Chen Xiaojuan, who was hiding in the dark, was extremely angry. The mountain was bare everywhere, so how could that glutton Baoya find wild grapes so quickly?
And there are four strings on one vine!
She smacked her lips and swallowed. She also wanted to eat wild grapes.
Baoya and Yun Chenglu found the wild grapes, and seeing that the sun had risen, they decided to go back.
It has been delayed for too long, Zhao Zhilan and the others must be worried.
But at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
Before Baoya and Yun Chenglu could react, they saw a wild goat with its horns erect charging towards them!
Yun Chenglu reacted quickly, picked up Baoya and placed her on a large rock behind him that was almost as tall as himself.
"Baoya, stay up there and don't come down!"
Seeing the wild goat approaching, Baoya was also scared. Her second brother was so good to her, and she didn't want anything to happen to him!
When Xiao Baoya saw the wild goat charging towards Yun Chenglu, her eyes turned red. She clenched her fists and yelled at the goat, "You are not allowed to hurt my second brother!"
Snap!
When the wild goat got close to Yun Chenglu, it suddenly crashed into the big rock where she was standing. Its head tilted and it died instantly.
Yun Chenglu was also sweating, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the wild goat was killed.
He picked up Baoya from the rock and saw that the little girl was pale. He was about to comfort her, but the wild goat hit him with too much force. The place where Baoya was standing was a small hill made of stones of different sizes. The stone on top rolled down with a loud noise.
"Baoya, run!"
Yun Chenglu only had time to push Baoya out before he was buried underneath by the rocks rolling down from above.
The rocks fell down with a crash, and in a blink of an eye, Yun Chenglu was buried so that only one hand was exposed.
"Second brother!" Baoya was frightened and tears fell down her face.
Chen Xiaojuan, who was hiding in the dark, was also frightened.
She just said that Baoya was lucky because she met a wild goat, and the wild goat killed itself in front of her.
Now, the second boy of the Yun family is probably dead.
Chen Xiaojuan's legs were shaking, and she took a while to stand up. Then she ran down the mountain.
As soon as I entered the village, I saw the loudmouthed Wang about to go to the fields. She shouted at the top of her voice: "Aunt Wang! It's bad! Something's happened to the second young man of the Yun family!"
"What's the matter? Girl, tell me slowly!" Wang was usually the most gossipy, and she immediately became interested.
Chen Xiaojuan wiped away her tears and cried, "I... I saw that Baoya, that calamity, caused the Yun family's second brother to be buried under a huge rock!"
"Oh! That's terrible!" Wang slapped her thigh, didn't even get out of the field, turned around and ran towards the village.
As he ran, he shouted, "It's terrible! Baoya, that little disaster, has killed Yun Family Chenglu, the boy, and he's been hit by a huge rock!"
