Chapter 47: The others won't be able to find them, will they?
Tang Dabao, who was standing to the side, was also stunned. He looked at his own hands and then at Fu Manduo's hands.
I just confirmed that I held Fumanduo's hand, but it seems like I didn't get a rash!
"But you don't have any rashes now, so will you be better?" Tang Dabao hadn't expected the girl to lie, but asked with some doubt.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Bao's eyes lit up, and she carefully grasped Fu Man Duo's hand to look at it.
It's white, tender, and plump, without a single mark!
Little Su Bao's cheeks flushed slightly as she happily exclaimed, "Look, it's really not red!"
Fu Manduo was taken aback. With one eye open and the other closed, he cautiously glanced at his hand.
The next moment, her eyes widened, and she stretched out her little hand to take a closer look.
Sure enough, there wasn't a single red dot!
She excitedly grabbed Tang Dabao's hand, squeezed it again and again, and then looked at her own hand!
Still no red rash!
Could it be that I'm cured?
Fu Manduo was so excited that he jumped up and down while holding Xiao Su Bao.
Little Su Bao was hugged quite tightly by her, which showed how happy Fu Man Duo was, and the little dumpling also felt happy.
The three of them happily ran outside to play.
"I'll take you to see the thousand-year-old peach tree!" Tang Dabao thought for a moment and said to them.
This peach tree never blooms for a thousand years, but once it does, it keeps blooming as if it will never wither.
At the entrance of Tangjia Village, a large number of people had gathered, all of whom were from Zhaojia Village.
When the three children came out, they saw the survivors of Zhao Family Village lining up to receive food.
It was right under that big peach tree.
When Xiao Su Bao and the others arrived, they were immediately spotted.
Zhao Sanpao gave them a deep look, then immediately looked away.
He poured some of the rice from his bowl for Zhao's mother, whose hair had turned completely white overnight due to worry about her family.
Not only her, but almost everyone else in Zhao Family Village had dark circles under their eyes and their hair had suddenly turned white.
The once vast Zhao Family Village, with its one or two hundred households, is now reduced to just them!
Those who were submerged by the flood were their relatives and neighbors.
Xiao Su Bao's smile faded, and she pursed her lips, remembering her terrifying dream!
Even though they've seen it since they were little and should be used to it by now, the little baby still feels sad.
"Sir, we've eaten our fill. Can we go and rescue the people now?" A man with half-gray hair asked, his eyes filled with longing.
The constables felt sorry for them and said, "Our master and his men went there last night. If you want to help, you can go now!"
Upon hearing this, the man quickly thanked him and finished the porridge in his bowl.
The remaining people didn't hesitate; they ate their food and then prepared to leave.
At this moment, the people from Tangjia Village also came out, carrying ropes and several bamboo rafts.
When they saw them come out carrying things, the villagers of Zhao Family Village, who had been somewhat numb, widened their eyes in surprise.
"Thank you..." Boss Zhao stepped forward and bowed to Tang Shan.
"Alright, let's go rescue them first!" Tang Shan said somewhat awkwardly. His older brother said that their village couldn't ignore this situation.
Otherwise, if they encounter misfortune in the future, the other villages will not care.
When Xiao Su Bao and the other two children heard those words while standing under the peach tree, their expressions changed.
"Can we go together?" Little Su Bao couldn't help but ask her third brother.
Tang Shan shook his head and said seriously, "The flash flood is too powerful. You are too young. You shouldn't go. Otherwise, if you fall in, you won't be able to get out!"
Little Su Bao had her head down, her ears drooping, looking extremely pitiful.
Tang Shan felt a little sorry for Xiao Su Bao when she saw her like this.
Tang Dabao, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "We can also help serve tea and water. We will definitely not go to dangerous places. Third Uncle, please take us with you!"
"That's right, we can help too!" Before anyone knew it, many children from Tangjia Village had appeared and were standing not far away.
When Qian heard about this, she thought about it and decided that children over ten years old could go along, but younger children could not.
Xiao Su Bao and the others naturally couldn't go.
Even if we can't go ourselves, a few people can still help. There are plenty of wild vegetables in the mountains at this time. We can dig them up, make vegetable pancakes, and send them to the search and rescue team.
This was Fuman's first time going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables. He followed behind Xiaosubao, looking at everything with curiosity.
Once they reached the top of the mountain, the children scattered.
Xiao Su Bao and Fu Man Duo didn't recognize wild vegetables, so they followed behind Tang Da Bao and Tang Er Bao.
Tang Dabao picked up a small hoe and put down the small basket.
He pointed to a wild grass and said, "This is called shepherd's purse. It's especially delicious when mixed with meat and used to make dumplings!"
"It can also be eaten cold, or stir-fried..."
Little Su Bao secretly memorized it, took a close look at the appearance of the shepherd's purse, and then picked up her little shovel and started digging.
She learns very quickly; almost every time Tang Dabao says something, the little baby remembers it.
Fu Manduo was equally adept. At first, the two girls would dig in the wrong places, but gradually they became more and more skilled at it.
Little Su Bao stuck out her little bottom and kept busy, huffing and puffing.
Suddenly, her hand seemed to touch something. The little girl parted the grass and immediately saw a nest of bluish wild eggs.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to shout, but Fu Man Duo immediately covered her mouth!
"Shh, don't shout, we'll just hide it quietly!" Fu Manduo whispered in Xiao Su Bao's ear.
Little Su Bao was taken aback, looked up, and looked at Fu Man Duo.
Fuman said slyly, "Look, we found wild eggs. The others won't be happy if they don't find any!"
"If they're unhappy, isn't that bad for them?"
Xiao Su Bao was taken aback, not quite understanding, but after thinking about it, she felt that what Fu Man Duo said made a lot of sense.
He nodded decisively.
"Okay, I understand!" Little Su Bao carefully placed the eggs into the basket.
She counted them carefully; there were ten eggs in total. She could give them to her mother, brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews when she got home.
Thinking about how everyone looked eating eggs, Xiao Su Bao became happy again.
She dug up some wild vegetables and put them on top to cover the eggs, only then did she feel at ease!
Yes, we can't let the other friends who are digging for wild vegetables be unhappy!
Little Su Bao happily went on to dig for wild vegetables.
She had only dug a couple of times when she saw something moving ahead.
Little Su Bao was startled, and then she saw a gray shadow. Before she could react, the shadow suddenly bumped into her.
