Yuanbao scratched his head and said, "I can't remember exactly where it was. I just remember it was a little to the west, with a slope next to it."
Tian En, who was standing next to him, thought about it again and added, "I... I remember there were fewer trees... and a lot of... a lot of vines."
Shen Yibei lowered his eyes slightly after listening to it. What he said this time was similar to the previous one, and there was no key information that could be judged.
The mountain behind is so huge that it would be very difficult to find it with just these things. Especially since the ginseng is only half there and it is still underground, searching like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Shen Yibei raised his eyes and looked at them and said, “Think carefully again, is there any place nearby that is different or special?”
"Yes, take your time to think about it, don't be in a hurry. If you are left to go there by yourselves again, can you still find that place?" Yang Yulan next to her also said.
Yuanbao and Tian'en began to recall the events carefully, and Baoya followed suit, tilting her head. However, she was still too young, and unfamiliar with the place, so she didn't remember much.
After a while, Yuanbao said loudly: "I remember there were some red trees on the way there!"
Red tree? Shen Yibei pondered for a moment, then wrote this information down.
Tian En then added, "I remember there was a… a section of the road that was… narrower, and there was… a lot of grass."
Lots of grass? That means the road isn't often used. However, it's still hard to tell based on just this information.
Shen Yibei turned his gaze to Baoya, if only the little girl remembered.
But she is too young. Shen Yibei finally rubbed Baoya's head and said, "It's okay, forget it if you can't remember it. If you remember anything else, tell me next time."
It was getting late, so Shen Yibei said goodbye to them and turned back.
He had actually thought about taking the children on another walk, perhaps seeing familiar scenery would help them remember it. However, Bowen and Boyu had to go to school during the day, and he also had to go to work for Jiang Qiuli.
After work, it was late and it was getting dark, so it was not safe to take them up the mountain.
So in the end he didn't bring this up and went straight home.
After seeing him off, Feng Guizhi closed the door and went back to her room to rest. Yang Yulan got up and covered Baoya and the others with blankets, saying softly:
:
"Okay, go to sleep and think about it carefully tomorrow."
The three children all nodded. Then Yang Yulan blew out the kerosene lamp and lay down to rest.
The next day, Bowen, Boyu and the others went to school again. Baoya and Yuanbao stayed at home to play with Tiantian in the morning, and ran out in the afternoon.
However, when he was outside, Yuanbao was always thinking about what Shen Yibei asked him yesterday. He looked at the sun still high above his head and said to Baoya:
"Sister Xiaobao, why don't we go look for it in the back mountain and see if we can help Brother Yibei find the place where he found the ginseng last time."
Baoya blinked, she also wanted to help Shen Yibei, so she nodded her head in agreement.
Then the two little ones walked hand in hand up the mountain. After walking a distance up the mountain, Yuanbao stood there, frowning and carefully determining the direction:
"There are two roads. Should I go left or go straight ahead?"
He scratched his head, thinking carefully, then pointed to the road on the left uncertainly: "It seems to be the one on the left? Let's go this way."
Baoya frowned. She had a vague feeling that this was not the right road, but she was used to following Yuanbao, and she was not sure, so she nodded and followed Yuanbao to the left.
After walking for a while, Yuanbao looked at the surrounding environment and felt that he didn't feel familiar at all. He felt that he might have taken the wrong path.
"It seems, it seems not to be the same road we took last time." Yuanbao scratched his head and said.
After all, he was not very old, and this time he was not with his brothers, so he did not dare to continue walking forward with Baoya, so he decisively turned around and walked back.
As they walked, he said, "Next time, let's come together when my elder brother and second brother are not in school."
"Hmm~" Baoya responded softly.
The two children walked in the same direction they came from, but not long after they walked, they ran into a strange man.
The man was probably in his forties. When he saw Baoya and Yuanbao, his cloudy eyes gleamed with brilliance. He then looked around, then looked at Baoya and Yuanbao again, and slowly approached them.
He stepped forward, half-crouched, and asked tentatively, "Why did you come up the mountain? It's dangerous here, and you two little ones are the only ones here?"
When asking questions, a pair of eyes looked back and forth between Yuanbao and Baoya's faces, revealing a satisfied look.
, and revealed some bad intentions.
Baoya didn't say anything, but she felt a sudden fear in her heart. She stretched out her little hand to grab Yuanbao's clothes, with a timid and ignorant look on her face.
Yuanbao was a bit braver, but at the moment they were just the two of them in the back mountain, and the man in front of them was a stranger they had never seen before, so a little fear rose in his heart.
But he remembered that he was the older brother, so he blinked and looked at the man and said, "My sister and I came here with Grandpa Zhao. He is nearby."
Yuanbao pointed in the other direction the man came from and said, "We just separated over there. Grandpa Zhao should be digging herbs nearby."
"Let me tell you, Grandpa Zhao's medical skills are amazing. He can find a lot of medicinal herbs here to treat people."
When the man heard this, he looked in the direction Yuanbao pointed and felt a little skeptical, but Yuanbao's performance didn't seem fake.
"But I didn't see anyone else here." He added, "Why don't you tell me where you live? I'll take you home first. It's not safe to stay in this mountain."
"Oh, by the way, I'm from the production team next door. After sending you off, I'll go home. It's close anyway." The man smiled kindly, trying to make himself look more approachable.
Yuanbao shook his head and said in a grown-up way, "We want to go back with Grandpa Zhao. You don't have to send us off. He'll be worried if he can't find me and my sister. We're leaving now."
As he said that, Yuanbao pulled Baoya and was about to run past the man.
The man frowned as he watched Yuanbao and Baoya leave. He reached out his hand to hold them back, but he hesitated.
On the one hand, he didn't want to let the fat sheep run away, but on the other hand, he was afraid that what Yuanbao said was true, and in the end he would lose both the wife and the army.
Just as he was about to catch up and catch the man, Yuanbao in front of him shouted loudly: "Grandpa Zhao~"
The man didn't dare to move for a moment. He lowered his body a little and hid behind the tall weeds and vines, but his eyes were always following Yuanbao and Baoya to see if his Grandpa Zhao was in front of him.
If not... He narrowed his eyes and prepared to run away at any time.
Yuanbao pulled Baoya and ran forward hard, calling Grandpa Zhao as he ran. He didn't dare to look back, and the palms of his hands that were holding Baoya were sweating.
After running some distance,
A figure really appeared in front of me.
Yuanbao immediately shouted again: "Grandpa Zhao!"
The man saw from a distance that there was indeed someone over there, and immediately put his previous thoughts to rest. However, he looked at Baoya running away, and he still felt a little unwilling.
That girl...
Xu Zhijin was bending over to dig wild peanuts when he heard a child's cry not far away. He looked up and saw Yuanbao and Baoya coming towards him. However, the child was calling "Grandpa Zhao".
He turned his head and looked around, but didn't see anyone else. At this time, Yuanbao and Baoya had already run up to him.
Yuanbao looked at Xu Zhijin in front of him and found that it was someone he had never seen before. The small frown that had just fallen down could not help but frowned again, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.
However, he looked at Xu Zhijin, who was wearing a shirt and a Zhongshan suit. Although the clothes had become a little white from washing, they were still very clean. He looked very different from the people in their team, and did not look like a bad person.
Baoya stood in front of Xu Zhijin, and the inexplicable fear in her heart disappeared. She secretly glanced back and found that the man had not caught up with her. She quietly opened her mouth and let out a breath.
Seeing that they were the only two children around, and no one else around, Xu Zhijin no longer cared about his special status and asked, "Are you looking for Grandpa Zhao? Did you get separated from him?"
Although Yuanbao felt that he was not a bad person, he did not let down his guard: "Grandpa Zhao is digging herbs in this area. We didn't get separated. He is waiting for me and my sister."
"We're going to find him." After saying that, he pulled Baoya and ran away again.
Xu Zhijin didn't stop them, but looking at their small figures, he felt a little uneasy. He looked around twice more, but still didn't see anyone. Then he simply sorted out the few wild peanuts he had just dug and followed Yuanbao and Baoya from a distance, hoping to see them reunite with Grandpa Zhao before leaving.
However, this time it almost reached the foot of the mountain.
Xu Zhijin finally realized that there might not even be such a "Grandpa Zhao." He shook his head, not expecting to be tricked by a child. But he wasn't angry. Instead, he thought it was a good thing that Yuanbao was smart and alert at such a young age.
Yuanbao pulled Baoya down the mountain and saw the people in the team. This was really...
He turned his head and saw Xu Zhijin following behind him from a distance.
However, after Xu Zhijin was sure that they were safe, he turned and left.
Seeing him leave, Yuanbao turned his head and didn't look again. However, after this incident, Yuanbao didn't dare to stay outside anymore, so he took Baoya home with him.
......
After arriving home, Yuanbao and Baoya went to the west room, where Song Jianye was taking Tiantian to learn how to walk. Yuanbao immediately ran over and told them what had just happened on the back mountain:
"Uncle San, my sister Xiaobao and I just ran into someone we didn't know in the back mountains. He asked if we went to the mountain alone... I pulled Xiaobao away... and ended up running into another stranger..."
After saying that, Yuanbao patted his chest and boasted, "Then I deceived them all, saying that I was going to look for Grandpa Zhao. I also said... Then I took my sister Xiaobao down the mountain."
Baoya stood obediently by the side, nodding her head in agreement as Yuanbao spoke.
Song Jianye frowned after hearing this. He was not sure whether the other party was a bad person or not, but what Yuanbao did was right after all. It was a good thing to be vigilant.
"Yuanbao is right. When we see someone we don't know, we should leave quickly and not talk to them."
After saying that, he added, "However, next time if it's just the two of you, you should stop going up the mountain so often. Wait for Bowen Boyu and the others to come together, or you can go with your brother Yibei."
"Yeah!" Yuanbao nodded his head heavily.
Song Jianye saw sweat on both of their foreheads. Yuanbao was fine because he had short hair, but Baoya's hair was soaked with sweat. He reached out to help Baoya smooth her hair and said:
"Go wash your face, you're sweating."
The two little ones went out to wash their faces and came back to stay in the west room to play with Tiantian. Gradually, they forgot about what happened on the back mountain.
However, at this moment, none of them thought about how thrilling the incident was. It was not until a piece of news came out in the evening that the whole team went crazy.
