Qin Mosheng also came back in the second half of the night. He didn't want to talk much with Su Man and lay down with his back to her.
After they all fell asleep, Su Man quietly pushed Du Yuan and pointed outside.
Du Yuan nodded, and the two of them talked not far away.
After some discussion, Du Yuan smiled and said, "You have put a lot of effort into these two children."
Su Man looked at the flickering bonfire in the distance and said, "In the end...I can't be kind to them."
-
The next morning, after a simple breakfast, they set off again.
During breakfast, Zhou Pingping saw Du Yuan taking food out of his bag, and her eyes looked at Du Yuan with more and more admiration.
If they follow Uncle Du, they won't have to worry about food in the future.
When the sun set, they finally returned to the place where they had left Grandma Zhou.
Several people searched in the woods separately, "Grandma Zhou, Grandma..."
"Grandma! Grandma, I'm Pingping. Where are you, Grandma?"
“…”
The shouts drifted in all directions, but no one answered.
The few of them searched almost the entire woods, but they couldn't find Grandma Zhou, let alone her shadow.
Su Man had a bad feeling that Grandma Zhou might have met a bad person.
After searching for a long time but still unable to find her, Zhou Pingping burst into tears. She rushed over to Su Man and cried, "It's all your fault. My grandma is missing. Give her back to me! Give her back to me!"
Su Man was held by her and shaken twice. Her eyes blurred and she happened to see the strip of cloth on the branch.
"Don't make noise."
Su Man pushed Zhou Pingping away and walked towards the cloth strip.
They were all searching below just now and didn't notice the cloth hanging on the branch at all.
When I took it off, I saw that it was from Grandma Zhou.
Why does Grandma Zhou hang the clothes here?
Seeing Su Man's puzzled look, Du Yuan explained, "I've heard of this custom before. If you die and can't return home, you hang your belongings high up. That way, your deceased relatives will come and take your soul home."
Su Man looked at the piece of cloth carefully. It seemed that it had not been hung there for very long.
If that's the case...
Su Man looked around and suddenly she found a depression in the ground, which was filled with tree trunks and dead leaves.
She immediately went over and opened it, and sure enough, there was a hole, and inside was Grandma Zhou.
"grandmother!"
Zhou Anan came over crying and followed Du Yuan to pull Grandma Zhou out.
This hole is vertical and looks like a wild animal's hole.
I'm afraid Grandma Zhou was worried that she wouldn't be able to rest in peace after her death, so she found such a place for herself to rest in peace.
The wind was strong today, and it blew all the dead leaves around into the cave. No wonder they couldn't find it just now.
After laying Grandma Zhou flat on the ground, Su Man immediately went to feel her breath.
Fortunately, although the pain was very weak, she was still alive. Fortunately, Grandma Zhou worked all day and her physical condition was still good.
Su Man first gave her some water, then fed her a raw egg. Feeling that her clothes were damp, she asked Zhou Pingping and Zhou Anan to help her change them.
During this period, some small wounds were seen on her body, probably caused by insect bites.
After doing all this, Grandma Zhou still showed no signs of waking up.
Zhou Pingping cried out in breath, "Grandma, Grandma, wake up..."
