Chapter 76 Not So Smart
Xinbao squatted on the ground picking grass, crying loudly: "He, he is a bad guy! He wants to take Xinbao away!!"
juvenile:"……??"
You haven't figured this out until now?
He remained silent.
Dai Tuanzi cried so sincerely and endlessly that he hesitated for a moment before comforting her with a sentence: "Don't cry."
The silly girl was very angry: "You are a child too!!"
juvenile:"……??"
He really didn't understand the cub's train of thought.
I'm a kid too? So what?
Will I be snatched away too? ? Or should I cry with you? ? He looked at the chubby ball in front of him silently.
She squatted on the ground, looking like a cricket pupa, not knowing what she was doing. She didn't look very smart, but for some reason, she looked a little cute.
The boy said nothing, and the little girl kept crying. Then she stood up, walked to him, and raised her hand: "Here you go."
The boy was stunned: "What?"
Milk ball pointed at his belly: "Thistle! Prickly lettuce! It stops bleeding!"
She was so anxious that she almost pointed at his hand, "Your belly is really broken! Why don't you believe it? You can see it if you lower your head!"
Looking at the handful of wild vegetables with no skin or hair in her hand, the boy was stunned.
He subconsciously curled his fingers slightly, and then the little girl's eyes lit up and stared at the thorn ball in his hand: "Lizhi."
She glanced at his face and said, "Xinbao wants to eat chestnuts. Let's switch."
She looked down and saw his injury again, then changed her words: "I just want to eat a little bit."
juvenile:"……"
He silently put away his emotion, slowly sat down on the ground, touched a few chestnut balls nearby, broke them open expressionlessly, then broke open the chestnuts inside, and lowered his head to carefully peel off the tender skin of the milk ball in front of him.
The young man took a long breath and turned his gaze to the handful of prickly lettuce again.
At this time, the scene at the foot of the mountain was in chaos.
Brother Tang San rushed down the mountain like crazy and met several villagers along the way. When they heard that Xinbao was missing, some of them hurried down the mountain to report the news, and others joined him in looking for him.
Everyone was originally at the new house, and when someone ran down and said something, everyone was scared and came up to help look for it without saying a word.
Mrs. Lin did not bother to hide herself. She lifted up her skirt and ran up the mountain. Soon she was out of sight of everyone, leaving behind all the shouting along the way.
Finding Brother Tang San, she grabbed him and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know! It's not a beast!" Brother Tang San was almost going crazy with anxiety: "I caught the pheasant in an instant, and it disappeared as soon as I turned my head! It's not a beast! It's a human!"
Madam Lin nodded, "Take me to where we were just now!"
Brother Tang San was stunned for a moment, looked around for the direction, and then ran all the way and took her to the place just now.
Madam Lin turned around quickly, looked at the traces on the ground, and then saw the red fruits rolling on the ground.
Madam Lin said, "He went up the mountain."
As she spoke, she chased after him. Not long after, she heard the voice of the little girl: "De De! De De!"
Mrs. Lin was cheered up and rushed over. She saw Xinbao standing by the grass, looking unharmed.
She was overjoyed and leaped forward like a fly, hugging her in her arms: "Xinbaoer!" She burst into tears for joy: "My dear Xinbaoer! Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" As she spoke, she checked her daughter's body from head to toe.
"No," Xinbao shook his head: "Xinbao is not injured, it's me who is injured..."
She pointed back, and there was no one under the tree. Xinbao was surprised: "Huh? Where's the little one?"
Madam Lin had already seen the person lying on the ground. She suddenly stopped crying, picked up her daughter, and approached carefully. Then she saw at a glance the deep marks on the man's face caused by a poisonous snake bite.
And not only that, this is a chestnut tree, and the ground beneath the tree is full of fallen chestnut balls with very sharp thorns. He rolled in the pile of chestnut balls, and the exposed skin on his face and hands was covered with densely packed small holes, which looked... a bit miserable.
Although the bamboo snake is highly venomous, most bites are not fatal. However, the bite of the bamboo snake is notoriously painful, with a burning pain.
Madam Lin approached slowly.
Seeing that the man had indeed fainted, she pressed her daughter's face against her body so that she could not see it, then stretched out her foot and stepped hard on the place where he was bitten by the snake.
The man screamed, startling a flock of birds.
The people who went up the mountain also heard the voice and quickly came over here: "Sister Lin!!"
“Xinbao!!”
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Mrs. Lin raised her voice: “Here!”
Tang Qingshan rushed up quickly, panting, "Xin, Xinbao."
"Xinbao is fine!" Madam Lin went over to him, and Xinbao opened his hands: "Daddy!!"
Tang Qingshan took a look at his daughter clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her tightly, and sat down on the ground exhausted.
Brother Tang San rushed over a step late, hugged his sister and started crying.
The people behind quickly caught up and asked questions one after another.
Madam Lin only said, "Xinbao is fine. I think the man was bitten by a snake."
Others also went over to take a look, and then exclaimed, "This, this looks like the guest from the Tang family's old house!!"
"Eh, they don't look alike!?"
"Why doesn't he look like one? He just shaved his beard! Look at his stature and eyes, doesn't he look like a barbarian?"
"It's true. Look at his pale face. He must have grown a beard for years before shaving it off!"
Someone asked, "Why did you come to steal the child?"
"Did Tang Sanshui ask you to come?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Tang San was so angry that his eyes turned red. He rushed forward, grabbed the man's feet, swung him up and threw him to the ground. The man screamed, but Brother Tang San turned a deaf ear to him, swung him up again, swung him in a circle, and threw him to the ground again.
The people around exclaimed.
The man howled as if he was dying.
Mrs. Lin stepped forward and grabbed her son, lowered her head and asked him, "Who told you to touch my daughter? If you don't tell me and no one calls a doctor for you, you will die."
The man grimaced in pain.
He was ugly to begin with, and after being bitten on the right cheek by a snake, the wound turned a horrible purple and black, and his entire face was deformed, making him look even uglier and more terrifying.
He and Tang Sanshui were just like-minded, not life-and-death friends, so he said, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!!"
He took a breath and said, "It was Tang Sanshui. He asked me to kill the whole family of the eldest wife... I couldn't bear to do it, so I just wanted to snatch the child and extort some money from you. Really! I didn't want to do anything to the child!"
The villagers exclaimed, and someone asked, "Why? Why kill them?"
The man said, "Tang Sanshui said they lived a good life but ignored him. He was so angry that he wanted you all to die."
Everyone took a breath again, and they were all at a loss for words. Someone murmured, "Why, why?"
