After making some threats, Liu Xiaolan rolled her eyes and continued her deception.
"Besides, you just saw how rude that kid was to your sister! Don't take it too seriously, it's just a misunderstanding. That idiot Liu Shuda will definitely believe you and think that the little beast had bad intentions!"
"Besides, your older sister is watching, so I definitely won't let anything really happen to you. You have to trust me. As long as you help me deal with that little beast... I'll definitely return everything that idiot gave you." Liu Xiaolan stood with her hands on her hips, her feigned warmth looking utterly pathetic.
Unfortunately, Liu Xiaoyu now has something on Liu Xiaolan that Liu Xiaolan can use against her, and Liu Xiaoyu used to bully her when they were young, so she can only lower her head and agree.
"Okay, sister, I'll listen to you!" Liu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, about to follow, when suddenly a sharp pain shot through her stomach. "I can't take it anymore, sister, I need to go to the bushes to relieve myself..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. What a useless piece of work, pulling this stunt at such a crucial moment.
"hurry up!"
"Okay, sis." Liu Xiaoyu nodded, clutching her stomach as she hurriedly disappeared into the bushes.
Bored with waiting, Liu Xiaolan paced back and forth for a long time, but Liu Xiaoyu didn't come out. Frustrated, she called out to the place where Liu Xiaoyu had disappeared.
"Are you done yet? If you don't hurry up, that little bastard will come out soon!"
"Don't blame your older sister for not reminding you. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get back what that idiot gave you!" After all, those were private transactions and couldn't be discussed openly.
Despite all she said, there was still no movement from the bushes. Liu Xiaolan scrunched up her face and, with a look of disgust, parted the bushes.
But there wasn't a soul in the bushes!
Liu Xiaolan was shocked and instinctively wanted to shout, but when she thought about what she was planning to do today and was afraid of being discovered by others, she immediately closed her mouth and cautiously observed her surroundings.
Once she was sure no one else was around, she quickly patted her chest and carefully searched the surroundings, occasionally calling out in a low voice.
"Xiaoyu, stop messing with me and come out right now! Otherwise, when I find you, you'll be sorry!"
Because of her outstanding appearance, her father Liu Chunlai and mother Liu Lishi always valued her the most and gave her all the best things. Liu Xiaoyu never had a good time in their hands.
Unfortunately, this situation changed recently.
The village chief's bookworm, Liu Shuda, had taken a liking to Liu Xiaoyu at some point. The village chief even made a special trip to their house for his grandson to arrange the marriage between Liu Xiaoyu and Liu Shuda.
From that time on, her parents acted as if they had taken the wrong medicine, doting on Liu Xiaoyu like the apple of their eye. Whenever they had something good, they would make her share some with Liu Xiaoyu, which made her furious.
She once overheard her family saying that once the famine was over and they found a place to settle down, the two families would rest and recuperate for a while before bringing their two children's good news into the open.
After that, all she had to do was wait for her eldest sister to get married, and then she would immediately arrange for her younger sister, Liu Xiaoyu, to get married...
Now that she has lost Liu Xiaoyu, her parents and the village chief's family will definitely not let this go!
I don't know what's wrong with Liu Shuda. There are so many girls in the village, but he insists on taking her younger sister! Now her life at home is not as good as before, and she has to live in fear.
After all, someone has to be handed over to the village chief's family!
With a grim sigh, Liu Xiaolan had no choice but to continue searching everywhere, but even after scouring almost every inch of the surrounding area, she still couldn't find a trace of Liu Xiaoyu...
As darkness fell, Liu Xiaolan was filled with inner turmoil. She even kicked a hole in the ground. In the end, she decided to hurry back to her residence and secretly tell her parents what had happened.
Panting, Liu Xiaolan returned home and called out several times without receiving a response, so she had no choice but to continue calling for her parents.
Her voice was high-pitched and thin, and she used to be affected and pretentious in the village. Many people in the village disliked her, and her neighbor happened to be one of them.
The neighbor couldn't stand the shouting anymore, so she pushed open the door and snapped at her, "What are you yelling for? Are you trying to summon my soul?!"
As soon as she said this, the other person noticed that Liu Xiaolan seemed to have some tear stains on her face, and immediately felt some pity for her, softening their tone to remind her.
"Your parents seem to have found some wild vegetables on the east side of the village. They said they taste pretty good and they want to dig some up for you two sisters. You can go over there and look for them."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaolan didn't even have time to say thank you. She turned around and ran eastward, causing the other person to frown repeatedly and mutter under their breath in the direction she ran.
"What good is a pretty face? She doesn't even know the most basic manners, yet she dreams of marrying into a wealthy merchant's family. She'll probably be beaten out with a big stick on her very first day!"
Of course, Liu Xiaolan couldn't hear these words. At this moment, she was only anxious to run forward, and all she could hear was the sound of the wind and her own panting.
When she finally caught sight of her parents, she shouted at the top of her lungs without thinking.
"Father, Mother, come quickly! I need to speak to you urgently!"
Upon hearing their eldest daughter's unusually urgent voice, the couple lost interest in continuing to dig for wild vegetables. They stuffed the vegetables they had dug into their cloth bag and strode over.
"What's wrong, daughter? Why are you so tired? Tell your mother quickly!" Liu Lishi didn't even notice that her sleeves were covered in mud. She raised her hand to wipe Liu Xiaolan's sweat.
When Liu Xiaolan noticed the dirt on her clothes, she quickly and discreetly moved away, briefly recounted Liu Xiaoyu's disappearance, and then said indignantly.
"Father, Mother, it's all those three Qin boys' fault for tricking my sister into going to the mountains. Now she's gone missing. What are we going to do?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Liu Chunlai saw a thin, frail figure dash off as if its feet barely touched the ground.
Judging by the direction, the destination should be the village chief's house.
The Liu family members immediately felt a chill; could that small figure be Liu Shuda?
The three of them looked at each other, all seeing the certainty in each other's eyes, and hurriedly ran over, their faces pale.
Liu Shuda must have overheard their conversation!
When they arrived, the village chief clearly already knew what had happened. His dark, old face was grim as he told his family to go and demand an explanation from Mo Qianshang.
This development had clearly exceeded Liu Xiaolan's expectations, but as long as the fire didn't reach her, she secretly continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Father, Mother, the village chief and the others are all going, let's go find them too! We can't let them kidnap our girl just because they know martial arts!"
Liu Xiaolan's parents were already in a panic and completely lost their composure. Encouraged by this, they became even more furious and glared at the village chief's family, determined to go with them to find someone.
Based on the principle that more people means more power, the village chief did not refuse their participation. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with how much they valued Liu Xiaoyu.
Seeing so many people looking so aggressive from afar, and bored in the village, everyone followed and gathered around.
