Chapter 698: Helpless
Tangyuan swallowed the pill, he didn't know what the pillar in front of him meant.
But he knew where the pocket was because he had found it a few days ago.
He was hidden by his mother in a broken jar in the corner.
The jar was piled with things, otherwise it would have been impossible to find it.
Although he didn't know what was in the bag, he knew it must be something very important.
Now when he heard Zhuzi say this, he immediately ran into the house, took out the pocket from the jar, hung it around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.
When Goudan just came out, Ladi had already run over from the backyard with two pairs of straw sandals.
Ladi is already ten years old. When she went to the backyard just now, she suddenly remembered that she had left her brother alone in the front yard. If her brother ran away, she would be beaten to death by her father.
Then he hurried back and saw Goudan and Zhuzi standing at the door waiting for him, and he felt relieved.
Ladi and Goudan put on their straw sandals, carried their backpacks and held their sickles, and followed Zhuzi up the mountain.
No one in the village cared about this, and the children had to go up the mountain to collect grass for pigs and chop firewood all day long.
This is something that every child in every household must do.
After Zhuzi went up the mountain, he found an open area. Sure enough, he climbed up the tree with nimble hands and feet and took out two bird eggs from the bird's nest in the tree.
Ladi was excited. Two bird eggs are still eggs.
Zhuzi took out a few bird eggs from bird nests on other trees, making a total of 12 bird eggs.
Zhuzi got down from the tree and said, "Ladi, don't just stand there and watch. Go find some firewood. Let's make a fire and roast the eggs! Otherwise, how are we going to eat the eggs?"
Looking at the bird eggs in Zhuzi's arms, Ladi nodded enviously.
"Goudan! Come with me, let's go collect firewood and come back to roast bird eggs."
Goudan is now sitting under the tree in confusion, looking at Ladi with a dazed face.
"What did you call me?"
Zhuzi secretly thought that something was wrong.
Silly Tangyuan should have some reaction now.
"Let him stay here and watch over the eggs. You go find some firewood. I'll dig out two more bird nests. Who knows, we might get a few more. We can have a full meal today."
He said this with a smile, holding up the bird eggs in his hand.
Ladi shook his head stubbornly, "No, my father said. I have to look after Goudan. If anything happens to Goudan, I won't be able to live."
Zhuzi was anxious. Even at this point, there was no way to take the person away.
But he couldn't force it, as their combined age was only seven years.
If Ladi was forced into a corner and shouted, all the villagers would chase after him.
By then, not to mention they could run away, both of them would probably have their legs broken.
Although his father looked kind, he had seen with his own eyes that his father broke his mother's leg.
It’s okay if his leg is broken, he just worries that he won’t be able to escape with Tangyuan.
I could only smile and say, "Well, Goudan, go and follow your sister to collect firewood."
Tangyuan looked at Baozi in confusion.
What is Brother Baozi talking about? Why does he call himself Goudanr? When will he change his name to Goudanr?
"You go quickly!"
Baozi pushed Tangyuan and whispered some instructions to Tangyuan.
"Don't ask anything, don't say anything."
Tangyuan blinked his eyes. Brother Baozi has always been smarter than him. He knew that there must be a reason why Brother Baozi said that.
He immediately followed the strange girl in front of him to collect firewood.
In fact, he has a lot of problems in his mind.
He suddenly woke up just now, and everything around him seemed so strange.
In this strange place, there were strangers around, except for Brother Baozi. He looked at himself and Brother Baozi, and saw that they were wearing such tattered clothes, especially the pair of straw sandals on their feet. He could tell.
I have become darker and thinner, and my originally round toes have become dry.
Brother Baozi has lost a lot of weight. If he hadn't played with Brother Baozi all year round, he wouldn't have recognized that the person in front of him was Brother Baozi.
He had so many questions in his mind, but he knew that this was not the time to ask them, so he followed the young lady in front of him and picked up a lot of firewood.
Three men lit the fire.
Watching Brother Baozi burying the bird eggs under the branches, his stomach began to growl.
Tangyuan squatted next to Baozi.
Ladi looked at the warm bird eggs with longing in his heart.
Baozi felt guilty. He knew that if he ran away with Tangyuan, the little girl in front of him would definitely be beaten by her father when she returned.
But what can he do!
He couldn't just put the two of them in this situation and never leave just for the kindness in his heart.
Mom and Dad must be very worried.
They didn't know where the two of them were sent.
He just knew that Baozi followed the second aunt out that day. He heard Baozi say that the second aunt said she would take Baozi to eat good food.
He remembered that his mom and dad had said that Second Aunt was not a good person, and his mom and dad had no contact with her at all.
He still followed.
But he didn't remember what happened afterwards. He only remembered that he felt a pain at the back of his head and then he fainted.
When he woke up again, he and Baozi had already arrived at the small mountain village.
I wonder who would do such a wicked thing?
He knew they must have encountered human traffickers.
According to his experience, of course one has to behave well and behave properly here, otherwise breaking a leg would be the least of the problems.
With his intelligence and talent, it would be easy for him to win over his adoptive father's heart.
After all, he has rich experience and has met so many human traffickers. He doesn't rely on just one person to make a living.
How could I not know how to make my adoptive father relax his vigilance?
He is very free, but the problem is that Tangyuan is not free at all.
He tried to say hello to Tangyuan, but he found that Tangyuan seemed to have forgotten him at all.
Every time I walked past the door, Tangyuan looked at me with a strange look, as if he didn't recognize me at all.
Baozi was secretly surprised.
Of course he also realized that Tangyuan now really regarded these parents as his own parents.
Tangyuan has adapted very well to the life of a little boy. What does this mean? It means that changes have occurred in Tangyuan that he was unaware of.
That's why he gave Tangyuan the pill in the first place, because he felt that Tangyuan's change must have a lot to do with them being sold here.
Tangyuan had no idea what kind of medicine those people had fed him.
Now that Tangyuan is awake, the two brothers can finally escape.
"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. This bird egg won't taste good if it's cold."
Baozi divided the twelve bird eggs into three parts, keeping only two for himself, giving five to Tangyuan and five to Ladi.
The only thing he could do to make up for his guilt was these bird eggs.
Ladi peeled the bird eggs and put the hot eggs into his mouth.
I was immediately attracted by the delicious taste. I ate five bird eggs without feeling full.
