Xu Yan's toes were all pointed.
The legs wanted to be pulled inwards.
But someone is blocking my way so I can't move.
"Do you want the light on?" Xie Zhuo's voice carried a hint of lust as he lowered his head and licked Xu Yan's lips repeatedly.
"...No," Xu Yan gasped, trying to keep her voice normal, but the touch of someone's hand on her delicate skin always made her let out a little bit of other sounds.
“That works too,” Xie Zhuo nodded. “It’s nice to do this once in a while.”
"What..." Xu Yan couldn't bring himself to say the words he was about to say.
Xie Zhuo usually calls her Yan Yan, and when no one is around, he calls her Bao Bao. Xu Yan thinks it's normal, mainly because Xie Zhuo is handsome and has a nice voice, so when he calls her that, it sounds very gentle.
Unlike now...
Xu Yan couldn't understand it no matter how she listened...
Xie Zhuo kept talking, chattering away in Xu Yan's ear. He paused slightly as Xu Yan's face grew increasingly red.
After such a long time, Xu Yan's eyes had started to adjust to the darkness. She lay on the pillow, watching Xie Zhuo's movements, and patted his arm.
"Don't eat everything!"
Xie Zhuo was taken aback, then chuckled softly.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yan saw him lower his head and whisper in her ear, "Baby, do you like hearing those words..."
fart!
When Xu Yan woke up again, it was already bright outside. The weather had been gloomy for the past two days, but today the sun was shining.
She pulled the curtains open a little, and the bright, warm sunlight immediately squeezed through the gap and streamed in.
Xu Yan glanced at the small grandfather clock on the windowsill; it was already past ten o'clock.
I don't know when Xie Zhu left; the house is very quiet.
After Xu Yan finished washing up, she began to eat breakfast slowly. She had originally planned to visit Fang Xia in the morning, but now it seemed that she could only go in the afternoon.
Xie Zhuo left late, and the two kids were already almost in town, carrying their schoolbags and eating peach shortbread. As soon as they heard that he was going to find Lin Dong, they immediately stopped going to school and insisted on going with him.
“Normally you wouldn’t even let me miss a single day of class,” Xie Zhuo said, pushing his bicycle. “But today is a rare exception.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Lin Dong,” Xiao Bao said, pausing as he was about to bite into a peach shortbread. “I wonder how he’s doing.”
Xie Zhuo glanced at him.
“I’ll save my peach shortbread for him,” Da Bao said seriously, holding half a peach shortbread in his hand.
Xie Zhuo's statement, "I don't know if we can find it," was shut down by their words.
That's enough.
If you can't find it, keep looking; you'll eventually end up in Qingping County.
but……
He then turned his gaze to the peach shortbread in the two boys' hands and asked, "Why didn't you finish eating it at home? Aren't you afraid of choking?"
"I overslept," Da Bao said, "because I was afraid of being late."
Xie Zhuo originally wanted to say, "Then come and call your third uncle. He'll take you there." But then he remembered how he had stayed up until four or five in the morning to bother Xu Yan, and then slept until almost eight o'clock afterward, so he stopped talking.
After Xie Zhuo went to school to ask for leave for Da Bao and Xiao Bao, he rode his bicycle again, taking the two kids towards Uncle Lin Dong's house.
Because the crops grown in each production brigade are different, the people in Lin Dong's village are still busy. Xie Zhuo parked his bicycle in front of Lin Dong's second uncle's house and saw a large iron lock on his gate. He then found a few elderly women in the village who were not working.
The old women were getting on in years, their eyesight was failing, and their hearing was also impaired. Xie Zhuo had to shout several times before he finally found out the exact location of Lin Dong's second uncle and aunt.
Recognizing people in the field is not an easy task, because everyone looks the same, wearing similar clothes and straw hats, hunched over, and quickly picking cotton and stuffing it into the burlap sacks beside them.
Moreover, Xie Zhuo had never met Lin Dong's second uncle, and as for his second aunt, he hadn't looked at her closely last time, so it was no different from never having met her at all.
Xie Zhuo originally thought that it wouldn't be easy to find out where Lin Dong had been sold, but to his surprise, as soon as he pushed his bicycle into the field, someone straightened up and started talking to him.
Then the man jogged over, circled his bicycle a few times, and shouted directly into the field, summoning Lin Dong's second uncle to him.
Lin Dong's second uncle was initially hesitant to speak, but seeing more and more people looking in his direction, he quickly gave an address and ran into the field.
"Coward," the young man who helped call for help sneered, then turned his gaze to Xie Zhuo and his bicycle.
"What do you want with Lin Dong?" the young man asked, his eyes darting around.
Xie Zhuo glanced at him and immediately started spouting lies, "He hit my child at school before, so I asked him to let my child hit him back."
Young man: "..."
He glanced at Xie Zhu a few more times, then looked at the two children standing about a hundred meters away from them.
I was surprised. I never expected that the little brat from the Lin family, who was usually so quiet, would be so ruthless at school.
I haven't been to school for almost a year, and I'm still being "hunted down by my enemies."
Da Bao and Xiao Bao stood far away and didn't follow, so they didn't hear their third uncle's nonsense, or his discussion about what good food to give Lin Dong after they found him.
When Xie Zhuo arrived at the place Lin Dong's second uncle had mentioned with his two children, it was almost noon. Luckily, he had come by bicycle, otherwise he would have had to walk until the afternoon.
He had a relatively good life growing up, but he had also seen people suffer hardship and had seen many people eating wild grass on the edge of the field, but he had never seen anyone this poor.
The thatched hut had a hole in the roof, and there was no kang (heated brick bed), only a bed made of a few wooden planks. The ground was covered with piles of burnt straw and all sorts of messy garbage. There was an earthen stove by the door, with a wooden pot lid lying to one side. The rust in the pot was almost rusting the bowl.
Xie Zhuo looked around and saw someone coming out, so he went over to ask them something.
It's confirmed that the person Lin Dong's second uncle mentioned is correct.
The woman first gave him a wary look, then glanced at the neighbor's dilapidated house before cautiously asking him if he was looking for someone.
"Yes, yes, yes," Xie Zhuo hadn't had a sip of water yet, and his throat was practically parched. Hearing that this aunt knew, his eyes lit up a little. "I came here to look for a child. Do you know him?"
The aunt hesitated for a moment after hearing his overly polite manner before saying, "You're late."
"What?" Xie Zhuo felt like his throat was about to crack.
"That child seems to be dying. This morning I heard Old Man Li cursing and shouting at the gate, saying something about being heartless, that he spent money to buy a sickly child and so on."
"Later, it seemed like it really wasn't working, so..."
"What?" Xie Zhuo had already pulled the aunt aside when he heard the words "you're late," not wanting his two kids to hear. Now that he heard her say this, he didn't care anymore and raised his voice a bit.
"Just carry it up the mountain... and throw it away..."
