Chapter 699 Escape
After eating the bird eggs, Ladi felt warm in his stomach and began to have some good feelings towards Zhuzi.
"Zhu Zi, you are so capable, why don't you go get some bird eggs?"
Ladi compliments the pillar.
Of course she knew she didn't have that ability. If she could climb a tree to take bird eggs, she would have done it long ago.
Zhuzi looked at him in embarrassment and said, "Okay, it's still early today, but when we cut grass for the pigs later, you have to help me cut more grass."
Ladi nodded, "Don't worry, I'll finish eating the bird eggs in a while, and then I'll go help you cut grass for the pigs. You can rest here for a while."
It is not difficult to cut grass for pigs. If she can cut more grass for pigs, she can exchange it for more bird eggs to eat, so she is very happy.
Zhuzi nodded, "All the firewood is burned, why don't you go and collect some more firewood. Let Goudan learn to climb trees with me. If he doesn't learn how to take out bird eggs, I can't always have to climb up and take out bird eggs.
Your brother has learned how to take out bird eggs, so you won't have to worry about having bird eggs to eat in the future."
These words immediately touched Ladi.
He looked at Goudan with shining eyes.
"Goudan, follow Zhuzi's example and learn how to climb trees. If you learn how to take bird eggs, we will have bird eggs to eat in the future."
Tang Yuan looked at the tree in embarrassment, "I can't climb trees."
What he wanted to say was that he was only three years old when he climbed the tree. Wasn’t this making it difficult for him?
Ladi frowned, "What's there to be unable to do? Zhuzi can learn it, so why can't you? Zhuzi is not much bigger than you. Hurry up, if you can't learn to climb a tree, I will beat you with our father's whip when we get back."
Raised fist in threat.
It is true that like father, like daughter.
Baozi's last trace of guilt also disappeared completely.
"Alright, alright, if you hadn't been talking nonsense, we would have picked up the firewood a long time ago. I'll take Gou Dan'er over there. We've touched the trees here, and there are no bird eggs. Let's touch over there. I'm afraid there are still a lot in the forest."
Pointed to the woods over there.
Ladi nodded and looked at Goudan worriedly.
"Then you have to keep an eye on my brother."
Baozi nodded and said, "Okay, pick up some more firewood. I might find two nests of bird eggs with more than 20 eggs. How can this little firewood be enough to roast the eggs?"
Just take the dumplings and go.
Ladi hurried to collect firewood.
It's really a struggle just for this little bit of food.
Baozi pulled Tangyuan faster and faster and soon disappeared into the woods.
"Don't talk, let's go quickly."
Baozi has been wandering around the mountain a lot recently. Under the pretext of collecting grass for pigs and firewood, he has been wandering around the mountain all over.
In fact, this village is really located in a remote area, because it is deep in the mountains. Without these mountains, you can't get out of this village.
But if they walk out on foot, even adults will get lost in this jungle, let alone children.
Baozi has made a plan recently. The only thing he could think of was to go deep into the mountains. Although there are dangers in the deep mountains and forests, he found a hidden tree hole nearby. There were dense bushes in front of the tree hole and no one could find it.
The two of them first hid in a tree hole and waited for the adults to look for them for two days. When they thought they might have escaped, they gave up searching and took action again.
Of course, he also specially collected a lot of bird eggs in this tree hole.
Just to store some food for the two of them.
Although he knew that this action was risky, there was no other way. He and Tangyuan couldn't stay here forever.
Tangyuaner seemed to understand what was going on and took his brother's hand and quickly went into the woods.
Although he didn't know what his brother was going to do, he knew that this place was not his home.
My brother is definitely going to take him away.
As soon as I got into the tree hole, I heard Ladi's heart-wrenching cry coming from the woods.
"Goudan! Goudan! Zhuzi, Zhuzi! Where are you?"
Tang Yuan glanced at Bao Zi and said, "Brother, Ladi is actually very pitiful. If I lose her, she will definitely be beaten when she returns!"
Baozi glanced outside and said, "We can't be kind people. What are we doing? You should know that we are sold here now. If they catch us, our legs will be broken.
If you want to stay here forever, then go and save Ladi."
It's not that he is cruel. He is just used to seeing people being betrayed after showing kindness. Even though he is only four years old, he has experienced more than an adult.
Tangyuan closed his mouth, he wanted to go home.
The two people hid in the bushes. They didn't know what time it was, but they knew they must not go out.
Because there were many voices shouting in the woods, it seemed that the whole village was mobilized to look for them in the woods.
At the beginning, the two people could hear many villagers shouting, but gradually the voices became less and less, until later, only a few sparse voices were left, and finally there were none at all.
But Baozi didn't dare to let his guard down, as he didn't know if these people had set a trap.
Pretend not to look for them anymore, and then you can catch them after they get out.
He has encountered such a situation as waiting for something to happen.
Despite his young age, he is already a veteran and experienced person.
He had escaped from human traffickers before. Of course, he didn't escape many times before because he had nowhere to go.
If you leave the human traffickers, you will have no place to eat, so it is better to stay in the hands of the human traffickers and have enough food and clothes.
But it’s different now, now he wants to escape with his brother.
They want to go home, they want to find their parents.
When they were hungry, the two of them ate raw bird eggs.
Baozi collected more than twenty bird eggs in the cave, and the two of them only ate two each at a time.
But even so, the bird eggs could not last for more than two days. By the second day, the two people's stomachs were empty.
Baozi was anxious.
Tang Yuan glanced outside and said, "Brother, there's no one outside now, let's go."
"Let's wait a little longer. What if they are guarding outside and we run into them when we go out? That would be terrible."
Suddenly he paused, "You've checked that there's no one outside, right?"
Baozi wanted to call himself a fool. How could he forget that Tangyuan had something that no one else had: Tangyuan could see things that others could not see.
Tangyuan nodded vigorously, feeling very proud. He felt that he was useful. Otherwise, when he was with his brother, it would always be his brother who helped him.
My brother is doing a lot of things, and I feel like a fool, doing nothing.
Now he can finally play his role.
Baozi pulled Tangyuan out of the bushes.
The dazzling sunlight made both of them close their eyes involuntarily. They had not seen any light for two days, and now the light outside suddenly became very strong for them.
The two men had no choice but to lie down in the bushes. After a long time, they finally adapted to the light outside.
Baozi pulled Tangyuan and started looking for the direction according to the skills Song Moting taught them.
When their father was training them, he told them a lot of things, about how the direction can be determined by where the sun rises and where the sun sets, so they just need to walk east to go home.
