Baoya's face had turned red from running for a while, and the weather was hot, so a thin layer of sweat formed on her body, and beads of sweat were oozing from the tip of her nose. She gasped with her mouth open, feeling the heat surrounding her.
Tian'en wasn't much better, his hair damp with sweat. The two younger children sat down and relaxed for a while. Once the heat had subsided, they began to move around.
After running for so long, Tian En felt thirsty. He looked at Bao Ya again and asked, "Little Bao sister...sister, are you thirsty?"
Baoya licked her lips and felt thirsty. Her lips were dry and in urgent need of water. Now that Tianen had asked, she nodded truthfully.
Tian En patted his butt and stood up, saying, "Then I'll go... go get some water. You wait here... until I come back."
If it were him, he would definitely just endure it, but now seeing that Baoya was also thirsty, Tianen decided to go get some water for Baoya to drink.
When they came out, they brought two bottles of water, one with Boyu and the other with Bowen. So, now Tianen planned to run forward a bit to catch up with Bowen, and then come back with water.
He was actually a little worried about whether it would be dangerous to leave Baoya here alone. However, Baoya was not jogging very fast, and she was very tired just now, so Tianen thought about it and decided to go by himself.
He thought to himself that he should run faster and come back earlier, and everything should be fine.
"Little Bao's sister...sister, don't move...around here, I'll be back...soon." After saying that, seeing Baoya nod obediently, Tian'en started running.
After running for a distance, Tian'en looked back twice, making sure that Baoya was sitting there without moving, then turned around and hurried to chase Bowen and the others.
Baoya watched Tianen run away, then turned her head back to look at the soil and grass in front of her, her face supported by her little hands, and no one knew what was on her mind.
When Liu Dazhui and his other two companions came over, they happened to see Baoya who was alone.
"Dazhu, isn't that your silly sister?"
"Hey? Is she here alone?"
Liu Dazhu looked at Baoya sitting over there with a gloomy face and an unhappy look. Before, he did not like this sister who was called a fool by everyone. He would be laughed at every time because of her. But now, seeing the fair and beautiful Baoya, and the love and care of the old Song family, he
This made him feel an indescribable unhappiness in his heart.
"Should we go over there?"
"I heard that the Song family bullied you last time, Dazhu. Should we take advantage of their absence and bully you back? She's not your sister anymore anyway."
Liu Dazhu originally wanted to leave, but when he heard Liu Shengzhan talking about the last time he was bullied, his anger suddenly rose up, and he also remembered the time when he was ridiculed because of Baoya.
It’s because of her, it’s because of her. If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t be so embarrassed!
Liu Dazhu gritted his teeth and strode towards Baoya, wanting to vent his anger on her. However, after just a few steps, he came back and hid behind a tree with Liu Shengzhan and Fang Jigui.
"What's wrong?" Liu Shengzhan was pulled back by Liu Dazhui with a puzzled look on his face and asked.
"We can't just go like this." Liu Dazhu still remembered the fear he felt when he was taught a lesson by Song Boyu last time. If they really just went like this, then when that idiot complained to them later, they would be the ones who would be in trouble.
So, Liu Dazhu thought for a moment and said with a stern face: "That idiot probably hasn't seen you guys before. Go over there and don't talk to her. Just..."
Liu Dazhu looked at Baoya over there, and saw the small cloth bag she was carrying, and said viciously: "Just grab the small cloth bag from her and leave."
Liu Shengzhan and Fang Jigui's eyes lit up when they heard this. They both thought this was more fun, and it would also save the Song family from finding out. If something got stolen, they wouldn't be able to find out who stole it. It was fun just thinking about it.
Without any worries, the two men did as Liu Dazhu said. One ran over and blindfolded Baoya, while the other tried to snatch Baoya's small cloth bag.
When Baoya realized that someone was coming, her eyes were covered. She screamed and struggled hard.
But she was only four years old, so how could she be a match for two boys who were six or seven years old? Liu Shengzhan snatched the cloth bag from her without much effort, and then the two of them turned around and started running.
However, when Fang Jigui just turned around, Baoya regained her sight and subconsciously rushed forward and hugged Fang Jigui's legs.
Fang Jigui lost his balance and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Tian En came back with a kettle,
He saw Baoya lying on the ground with two strangers beside him. Baoya's screams also came over, making him explode all of a sudden!
Countless words were stuck in his throat, making it ache. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word. Tian En was panting heavily, his eyes red from holding back.
He opened his mouth as hard as he could, then suddenly opened his mouth with a loud voice: "Don't touch my sister!"
The last incident was still vivid in his mind. He watched Baoya being bullied by Liu Dazhui, Yang Licai and others. Baoya was even more humiliated because of her stuttering. This time, he could have been there to protect her, but he walked away again.
Tian'en's chest was filled with anger. He didn't care about the cup of water in his arms and threw it away. He rushed towards Baoya like a madman.
Liu Shengzhan didn't expect Song Tianen to come back so soon. When he saw him, he became anxious and ran back while urging Fang Jigui:
"Hurry up, run, the people are coming back!"
Fang Jigui was also panicked, fearing that he would be beaten by the young men from the Song family. Without thinking, he kicked Baoya hard. After breaking free, he ran away with Liu Shengzhan.
He kicked Baoya in the arm with great force, and the intense pain made her eyes red. She tried hard not to cry, lying on the ground looking at the direction Liu Shengzhan and the others left. She tried to get up with her hands on the ground, but her arm was so painful that she fell back, tears streaming down her face.
Tian En ran to Bao Ya, distressed and angry, his eyes red: "Little Bao sister, are you okay? Is it hurting anywhere?"
Baoya cried so hard that her tears fell one by one, blurring her vision. Then she grabbed Tianen's hand, pointed in the direction where Liu Shengzhan and the others ran away, and kept saying, "The bag, the cloth bag was stolen."
Baoya felt very aggrieved. She didn't even want to cry because it hurt when she was kicked, but the small cloth bag that Yang Yulan made for her was snatched away, which made her so sad that she burst into tears.
At this moment, she didn't care about her arm and only wanted Tianen to get her small cloth bag back.
Tian En clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the direction Liu Shengzhan and the others had left. He had just seen Fang Jigui kick Bao Ya, and his anger had ripped him apart, making him want to rush over and knock them all down.
However, after what had just happened, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to leave Baoya alone here.
"Don't cry, little sister Xiaobao. I'll ask your mother to sew a new cloth bag for you when we get home, okay?" Tian'en looked at Baoya crying so hard that he also shed tears out of heartache.
He lowered his head to check Baoya's arm again. It was already a large red patch, which looked particularly glaring on her fair skin.
"Does it hurt? I'm sorry, Xiaobao sister, I shouldn't have left just now, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Tian'en kept apologizing, and the guilt made his heart swell.
Baoya shook her little head, her eyes still looking in the direction Liu Shengzhan and the others had left, sobbing about her little cloth bag.
That was the first small cloth bag Yang Yulan made for her, a small cloth bag that she particularly loved and cherished, but now it had been taken away.
At this time, Bowen and Wenzhi also came back and saw Tianen and Baoya still standing there from a distance, but the distance was too far and they did not notice the expressions of the two people.
"We were almost there just now, but that pheasant ran away. If only it couldn't fly, we would definitely be able to catch it." Wen Zhi said with some regret as he thought about the pheasant that he almost succeeded in catching just now.
Bowen comforted him: "It's okay, there will be another chance next time."
"Well, next time we will... Hey? Isn't this our kettle? Why is it here?" Wen Zhi said in confusion when he saw the kettle on the ground in front of him.
Bowen was also stunned when he saw this, then he looked at Tianen and Baoya and realized something was wrong. He bent down to pick up the kettle and ran forward.
Before I got there, I heard Baoya crying.
Bowen's heart sank. He squatted down beside Baoya, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Since Baoya came to their house, she has cried so many times that one can count on one hand. So now, seeing Baoya crying so hard, Bowen's emotions can no longer be stabilized.
Especially Tianen’s eyes were very red and he was crying.
"Someone just came and snatched Xiaobao's purse and kicked her." Tian'en wiped his tears with his hand and sobbed as he spoke to Bowen. He pulled Baoya's swollen hand to show him, and tears of heartache could not be stopped.
Bowen looked at Baoya's arm and felt a lump of air in his chest, which made him feel very uncomfortable. His face was gloomy and his expression was very ugly.
When Wen Zhi heard what had happened, he was furious: "Who is it! Who dared to hit Xiaobao? I'm going to beat him to death!"
But at this moment, Liu Shengzhan, Fang Jigui and others had already run far away.
