Ma Yuzhu and the other three were still holding a grudge against what had happened before. Today, when they went out to the back mountain, they happened to see people from the Song family again, and they immediately had an idea in their minds.
"Brother, let's deal with Song Yuanbao today and see if he will still be powerful in the future." Ma Laicai said in a low voice.
Ma Yuzhu had no objection. He didn't like any of the people in the Song family anyway, so he was happy to deal with anyone.
After the three of them agreed, they saw that Song Yuanbao and his brother had separated, so they quietly followed them.
However, Yuanbao is very active. He runs around here and there. Now he catches a butterfly and runs back to show it to Baoya and the others.
The three Ma brothers watched the man leave and had no way to catch up. They could only stomp the ground in hatred.
"This Song Yuanbao, let him get away!"
"Wait a little longer and see if he can get through later." Ma Yuzhu suddenly remembered his previous idea: "I have an idea."
They also went to look for cicada shells, some wild fruits and bird eggs, and then placed one at intervals along the road, waiting to attract people.
However, Yuanbao had disappeared somewhere and it was Song Tianen who came back. Ma Yuzhu and the others exchanged glances, then quietly hid and stared at the other side.
Song Tianen kept his head down looking for cicada shells all the way, and finally saw one on the roots of a tree in front of him. He happily walked forward to pick it up, then looked around, and after walking a few steps, he saw another cicada shell next to a tree.
He just kept walking and picking up things, feeling very happy and thinking that he must be the one who found the most things today.
However, after walking a little further and seeing some wild fruits, Song Tianen began to feel something was wrong.
There are too many of these things today, so many that it’s a bit abnormal.
He stood up and looked around, frowning. Although he was a little reluctant to pick up the shells and wild fruits, he didn't dare to pick them up anymore and turned around to go back.
Seeing that Song Tianen was about to run away, Ma Yuzhu and the others no longer hid and quickly ran out.
"Don't leave!"
Song Tianen was stunned when he saw them, and then he understood. No wonder there were so many cicada shells and wild fruits. It turned out that they put them there on purpose.
He felt a little scared and moved to the side: "You...what are you doing?"
"Nothing, we just saw your sister again. Is she lost again? We'll take you to find her.
Bar. "
Song Tianen was not fooled this time. "My brother and I will look for it together..." he said as he was about to go around.
Seeing that he was no longer fooled, Ma Laicai ran over and grabbed Song Tianen's clothes to prevent him from leaving.
"You...you let go..."
"I won't let go. You better behave yourself, or I'll beat you up." Ma Laicai stopped pretending and just waved his fist to threaten.
Song Tianen struggled quickly and pushed Ma Laicai with all his strength. Ma Laicai was pushed away and he took advantage of the gap to run away.
However, before he could run two steps, he was caught by Ma Yuzhu. Then Ma Laicai also caught up and pushed him to the ground.
"Don't you dare push me."
Song Tianen got up and wanted to run, but was immediately surrounded by Ma Yuzhu and others.
"Don't even think about it. You definitely won't be able to escape this time. Just follow us." Worried that the guys from the Song family would come looking for them again, they didn't dare to stay here too long. Ma Laicai took off his short coat and covered Song Tianen's head with it, and then the three of them surrounded him and walked in one direction.
"Where are you taking me? I...I don't want to go..." Song Tianen was already very scared, and now that his head was covered and he couldn't see the road, he was even more scared, and his voice was trembling.
"Coward, be careful not to pee your pants from fright, hahahaha." Ma Laicai laughed when he saw Song Tianen so scared.
Ma Yushan: "That's right, cowards, all the people in the Song family are cowards!"
Song Tianen clenched his fists: "No...no."
"Humph, if it's not you, prove it to us."
Song Tianen didn't say anything else. He wanted to find a chance to escape, but there were three of them, and he was covered with his head, so he couldn't see the road clearly. He tried several times but failed, and was even beaten by them.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Ma Yuzhu and the others finally stopped. After looking around, they couldn't help but shudder.
"You must close your eyes now and cannot open them. If we find out that you have opened your eyes, you will be beaten." Ma Yuzhu threatened viciously, while Ma Laicai took his clothes off Song Tianen's head.
"Remember not to open your eyes, or we'll beat you up."
"Beat you!"
Song Tianen was so frightened that his body was shaking. Although he wanted to open his eyes, he was afraid to do so after hearing what they said. He squeezed his eyes tightly shut, and his eyelashes were trembling.
"you
Count to 100 before opening your eyes." As they spoke, Ma Yuzhu and the other two quietly walked down the mountain.
They made some small marks when they came, and also took notes along the way, so they easily returned along the same route.
Song Tianen was left standing alone on the empty mountain, nervous and scared, counting with a trembling voice. When he reached ten, he remembered that he couldn't count after that.
He sniffled and said in a trembling voice, "I...I can't count...backwards."
No one answered him. Song Tianen asked again with his fists clenched in fear, but still no one answered him this time.
Song Tianen was afraid that they were keeping silent on purpose, but he didn't dare to open his eyes. Finally, he put his hands on his body to protect himself and suddenly opened his eyes.
But there was no one. He looked around again, but still no one. Moreover, this place was unfamiliar; he had never been here before.
Song Tianen suddenly panicked, "Ma Yu... Yuzhu, Ma Laicai, you... where are you...?"
"Brother... Grandma... I want to go home..."
......
At the foot of the mountain, Ma Yuzhu and the others had already come down, but now they were also a little scared: "Brother, is it okay if we throw Jieba up the mountain?"
Normally, everyone would hang out at the foot of the mountain, with the adults only going halfway up the mountain. But this time, they took Song Tianen to a higher place, where there wasn't much road left, and the weeds and brambles were almost as tall as them, which was scary to look at.
When they went there just now, they hadn't thought about being afraid of this, but now they are a little scared.
Ma Yushan was also a little worried, but he still said, "Anyway, we've left signs on the road. If he doesn't see it, he can only blame himself for being stupid. Don't think about it anymore, let's go home."
Over there, after several small gatherings, Song Tianen still didn't show up. They searched nearby but couldn't find him either.
Several people went in pairs and expanded the search area, but still couldn't find him. As they walked further and further away, and were no longer in their usual range of activities, Song Bowen suddenly realized that Song Tianen was missing.
It's already past five o'clock and the sun is slowly setting.
Song Bowen's face turned pale with fright before he found Song Tianen, and the other kids were even more panicked.
He clenched his fist and said to them, "Yuanbao, go home and call someone to see if Tianen is at home.
Look here, maybe we missed something just now."
Yuanbao nodded, turned around, and immediately ran home. The others didn't waste any time and continued searching.
When Yuanbao got home, Feng Guizhi and the others had not returned from work yet. He searched the house thoroughly before running to the west room.
"Uncle San, Fifth, is Fifth Brother back?" Yuanbao asked anxiously, panting.
Song Jianye saw Yuanbao running and sweating, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his little face was flushed. Then he heard him ask if Tianen was home, and his heart skipped a beat:
"No, didn't Tian En go to the back mountain with you guys?"
Yuanbao became anxious and didn't know how to tell Song Jianye, so he just ran away: "I'll go look outside again."
Yuanbao ran outside the yard and looked around, but there was no one there. He ran back to the east room, pouted, wiped his eyes, and asked, "Mom, I can't find my fifth brother."
Li Qingyan's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean? What do you mean it can't be found?"
"We searched for a long time but couldn't find it. My eldest brother asked me to come back and call for help, but grandma and the others haven't come back yet."
Li Qingyan was also panicked, but she still said, "Your grandma and the others will be back soon. Go to the intersection over there to greet them. Don't cry, Tian'en will be fine. Maybe he will be back soon."
"Okay." Yuanbao wiped his face, wiped away his tears and ran out quickly.
After Yuanbao left, Song Jianye also came out of the west room. He was leaning on a cane and went in the opposite direction after leaving the door.
Knowing that something might have happened to Tian'en, he couldn't sit still for a second. No matter what happened to his legs, he had to go out and look for him.
On the back mountain, a few kids were still searching everywhere.
"Tian'en!" Song Bowen and Baoya were searching together, shouting as they walked. Even though his voice became a little hoarse, he didn't dare to stop.
Baoya followed him, feeling a little flustered for some reason, her heart beating very fast. She opened her mouth, but although she could make a sound, she couldn't utter two complete words.
The further Baoya walked, the more uncomfortable she felt. She covered her uncomfortable chest and opened her mouth hard, trying to make a sound, wanting to call out Song Tianen's name. However, her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
"Tian'en! Tian'en, where are you?" Song Bowen shouted loudly, with cold sweat on his palms.
I searched carefully all the places I had been to, even those farther away, but I could not find any.
I still haven't found Song Tianen.
A few children gathered at the foot of the mountain. As it was getting dark, their anxiety and fear became stronger.
"Brother, will Tian'en be up there? Should we..." Song Boyu looked up the mountain and said hesitantly.
If there was nothing below, then Song Tianen was most likely on the top of the mountain, or, perhaps, he had returned home. However, they all felt that this possibility was too small.
However, they were a bit hesitant to go up the mountain. It was overgrown with weeds, and there were rumors of man-eating beasts. Normally, no one went up there, and Feng Guizhi wouldn't let them go.
Song Bowen was worried about Song Tianen and wanted to go look for him, but he was also worried that if he didn't find him, he would...
He frowned, but made a decision: "It's too dangerous up there, we can't go up there alone. Dad and the others will be here soon, let's search with them."
The younger ones stopped talking and remained silent, no one knew what they were thinking about.
Baoya stood beside Song Bowen. She could have stood by holding onto his clothes, but now she felt a growing discomfort in her chest. She blinked slowly, feeling as if the things in front of her eyes were spinning...
After she recovered, Baoya realized that her location had changed. She also saw Song Tianen not far ahead.
Her eyes widened in surprise and was about to run over when she saw Song Tianen miss a step and fall directly into a big pit that was used as a trap.
She heard his miserable cry, which made her heart tremble.
Baoya ran forward a few steps with tears in her eyes, but before she could see clearly, the scene changed again.
Song Tianen returned home, but his arms were wrapped in thick cloth, and there were many small cuts on his hands and body. His face was also deeply scratched, leaving a long, ugly scar from his nose to the corner of his eye.
Baoya had never seen Song Tianen like this before, and she immediately started crying out of sadness and heartache.
Because his arm was broken and his face was disfigured, Song Tianen did not go to school when school started in September.
From then on, Song Tianen's personality completely changed. He locked himself in his room, not going out or communicating with others. He was afraid that others would say that he was not only a stutterer, but also a disfigured cripple...
Baoya looked at Song Tianen, whose smile was no longer on his face, and cried.
Especially sad.
At this moment, the scene changed again. It was getting dark. She saw someone limping towards her, and then...
Before Baoya could see who that person was, she suddenly heard someone calling her:
"Little sister, little sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Wake up quickly."
Baoya slowly opened her eyes and woke up, tears streaming down her face, her eye circles red from crying. She opened her eyes and asked anxiously with tears in her eyes:
"Tian, Tianen, brother."
She was not very fluent in speaking, but she uttered complete sentences for the first time.
But no one paid attention to this at this time. Song Bowen wiped her tears with the back of his hand and said:
"It's okay, Tian'en will be fine, don't worry, when the grandma and the others come, we will definitely find them with so many people."
Baoya was confused for a while. She looked around again and realized that what had just happened was not real, but just a dream.
However, the dream just now was too real, as if it would really happen. Thinking of some of the things that happened before, Baoya got up from the ground and pulled Song Bowen upstairs.
"Save me, Tian En."
"It's too dangerous up there, we can't go there, wait..."
Baoya still had tears in her eyes. She looked at Song Bowen with tearful eyes and said, "Tian'en, it hurts..."
"Brother, why don't we go look for him together? Be careful and everything will be fine." Song Boyu was also very anxious and wanted to go up and look for someone.
"We can take weapons, stones, branches, sticks or anything else. Or, if we encounter something, we can just run!" Song Wenjie also said.
Song Bowen's eyes wavered, but in the end, he agreed to go up. Yun Duo and Song Wenzhi were left behind, and he, Baoya, Song Boyu, and Song Wenjie went up the mountain together.
Originally, he wanted to leave Baoya behind, but Baoya held him tightly and refused to let go, insisting on going up. Seeing that it was getting dark, Song Bowen still took Baoya up.
Several people started to climb the mountain again. Baoya held Song Bowen's hand and walked in one direction as if they had a direction.
Not long after they went up the mountain, people from the Song family also arrived.
"Yun Duo, what's going on? Have you found Tian En?" Chen Xiu Xiu ran all the way over and was panting heavily while speaking.
Yang Yulan's face turned pale with fear. "Yun Duo, do you know where Tian En disappeared?"
Seeing that everyone in the family
Song Yunduo couldn't help crying, sobbing as she replied, "We were picking up cicada shells, and then Fifth Brother didn't come back. We kept looking for him, but we couldn't find him..."
Feng Guizhi looked around and said in a calm voice with a slight tremor: "Where are Bowen Boyu and the others?"
"Brother and the others went... went to look for it on the mountain."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people in the Song family changed.
None of them had ever been to the deep mountains, and they all said they didn't know what was in there, but now, several children actually went up there.
Song Aiguo gritted his teeth and cursed, "These little bastards!"
"How can they go to such a deep mountain? How can they be so stupid even after studying so much?" Chen Xiuxiu was also angry and anxious.
"Stop talking and find it quickly!" Feng Guizhi said with a sullen face, and left immediately.
Even the adults didn't dare to go into the deep mountains alone. Feng Guizhi, Yang Yulan and Song Aimin searched together in the east, while Song Aiguo, Chen Xiuxiu and Sun Suyun searched in the west.
After they went there, other people in the team soon came over to help look for it.
"God's grace..."
"Blog post..."
Everyone in the entire team who could come to look for him came, and the calls continued, but they still couldn't find the person.
At this moment, Baoya and Song Bowen had already reached a deep mountain. There were many trees and grass there, and because there were few people coming, there was no path to walk on. Song Bowen and Song Boyu were better off, but Baoya was short, and those vines were taller than her.
Along the way, several people had many cuts on their arms and legs, and Baoya's little face was also cut twice.
The scratched area wouldn't hurt much, but it would itch, making one want to scratch. Song Boyu's body turned red from scratching, and the scratches were getting deeper and deeper. Although he was brave, he was a little scared now.
"Brother, we've come all this way and still haven't found Tian'en. Could it be that we're going in the wrong direction?"
Song Bowen didn't know either, but when he looked at Baoya, her face was tense as she kept leading him in this direction. For some reason, he felt as if Baoya knew something.
Baoya was still pulling Song Bowen forward. Along the way, her mind kept recalling the scenes in her dream. When she thought of those, she didn't dare to stop. She only wanted to find Song Tianen as soon as possible and let him come back safely.
"Let's look for it for a while, if we still can't find it, we'll go back.
.”
After Song Bowen finished speaking, he raised his hand to his mouth and made a trumpet shape and continued to shout: "Tian En!"
Song Boyu stopped talking and shouted, "Tian En!"
......
Song Tianen guessed that he must be deep in the mountains, and he was terrified. He kept walking, but he couldn't find the way down the mountain.
He didn't know where he was, nor which way to go to get down the mountain. He could only find a direction to walk in. He was afraid that some wild beast would appear, and his body was shaking all the way.
After all, he was only six years old. He kept walking and couldn't find the way. Finally, he was scared and cried, but he didn't dare to stop. He kept looking for the way while crying.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone calling his name. He listened for a while in a daze. After confirming that he was not hallucinating, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears and began to answer:
"I'm here, I'm here!"
His crying voice was a little hoarse, and he could only shout loudly hoping that they could hear him.
Song Bowen and Song Boyu over there heard the response and were immediately delighted. At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else and no longer felt tired. Song Bowen picked up Baoya and quickened his pace towards the direction of the sound.
After a while, they saw Song Tianen. Although he was a little far away, they could still recognize him.
"God's grace!"
Song Tianen looked up and saw them, and ran over there: "Woo woo, big... big brother, second brother..."
Baoya was very happy to find Song Tianen, but when she saw Song Tianen coming, the scene of him falling suddenly flashed before her eyes.
“No…no…”
