Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua spent a lot of effort to drive this big fat pig into the pigpen.
But there was really nothing to feed at home, so they just randomly found a few corncobs and threw them into the pigpen.
After doing all this, the two of them lay on the side of the pigpen and watched the big fat pig wagging its tail and munching happily.
Their mother would definitely be very happy to have picked up such a fat pig for nothing.
As the sky gradually turned dark, the brother and sister were already famished. However, after walking around the kitchen for a few rounds, they still could not find a single grain of food.
Thinking of the oily pancakes in the afternoon, Xue Xiaohua’s stomach growled with hunger. She missed her mother a little and even felt that her mother was better than her mother in the past.
Although her mother was a little fierce and somewhat inexplicable now, she would comb her beautiful hair and dye her nails red. Most importantly, her mother cooked delicious food.
That was even better than the chicken drumsticks she had eaten before.
However, there was no food at home. Xue Xiaohua and Xue Baijun sighed. The two of them scooped a ladle of cold water from the water tank and poured it into their stomachs. They locked the door and proceeded to sleep.
Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua were still a little afraid when they thought of the entire village going up the mountain.
After tossing and turning for a while, the brother and sister finally fell asleep.
“Bang bang bang… bang bang bang…”
Xue Xiaohua was in a daze when she heard someone knocking on the door. She immediately sat up and said, “Brother, our mother is back!”
After saying that, she jumped off the bed and was about to open the door, but was grabbed by Xue Baijun.
“Are you stupid? Mother has gone to the mountain with the village chief to look for Bainian and Chunsheng. How can she be back now? Let’s ask who it is first.”
When Xue Xiaohua heard that, she nodded and bent down to follow behind Xue Baijun.
“Who are you? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night.”
After this shout, the people outside the door stopped moving. Just when the siblings thought that the people outside had left, they did not expect that person to knock on the door again. This time, he spoke.
“It’s me. Your mother rolled down the mountain. Hurry up and open the door. I’ll carry her in so she can rest.”
“What? Mother, why did mother roll down the mountain? Mother, you have to hold on!”
Xue Xiaohua was sobbing as she spoke. Just as she was about to pounce towards the door, she was grabbed by Xue Baijun. “Mother said that apart from her, no one can open this door.”
Xue Xiaohua pushed Xue baijun away and screamed, “If I say you’re stupid, then you’re stupid. Didn’t they already say that our mother fell down the mountain? Now that she’s about to faint, how can she knock on the door!”
After saying that, she ignored Xue Baijun’s obstruction and directly opened the door. Under the moonlight, Xue Xiaohua finally saw clearly that the person in front of her was not a familiar face from the village. It was clearly the human trafficker that she had seen during the day!
Seeing this, Xue Xiaohua shrieked. At this moment, Xue Baijun rushed up and bit the person’s body. When Xue Xiaohua saw that Xue Baijun had rushed up, she also rushed up, waving his little claws, he beat and scratched, “Evil thief! Stinky thief, shameless thief! You are tired of living and dare to come to my house!”
How could that figure be stopped by the two little kids? He reached out and grabbed Xue Xiaohua’s hair, then fiercely threw her to the ground.
Xue Xiaohua’s cries became louder. As she cried, she cursed, “Damn you, sob… you dare to pull my hair! I will beat you to death!”
As Xue Xiaohua spoke, she charged at the figure without fear of death. Seeing that the figure was about to raise his leg to kick Xue Xiaohua, Bai Wenjing appeared in time to block in front of Xue Xiaohua. This kick caused Bai Wenjing’s stomach to twitch in pain, but at this moment, she could not care less. She held the pole and fiercely attacked the person.
“I told you to come to my house! I’ll beat you to death, you evil thief!”
The man had no room to fight back. He ran away clutching his pants.
The evil thief was chased away. Bai Wenjing squatted on the ground and panted heavily.
She had been looking for the children for half the night. At this moment, she was exhausted.
She thought that she could not leave these two alone at home. When she came back, she indeed saw these two b *stards causing trouble, after she recovered her breath, she said angrily, “Didn’t I tell you two? Except for me, who told you not to open the door? Fortunately, I came back in time today. If I had not come back in time, you would have been caught and sold by that evil person! Baijun, tell me what happened?”
Xue Baijun straightened his neck and raised his head after being shouted at by Bai Wenjing. He was as stubborn as a bull and refused to say a word. Bai Wenjing angrily took the shoulder pole in her hand and hit Xue Baijun’s body.
When Xue Xiaohua heard that her mother was angry, she was afraid and aggrieved at the same time, while crying, she said, “Mom, don’t hit big brother. It’s all my fault. I heard the people outside say that you were injured, so I ignored big brother’s obstruction and went to open the door. If you want to hit me, then hit me, but be gentle…”
When Bai Wenjing heard this, her heart softened. This time, she had really wronged these two little guys, so she reached out to wipe the tears on Xue Xiaohua’s face and said, “Okay, okay, it’s all mother’s fault. You two must be hungry too. You haven’t eaten dinner. Mother will make some porridge for you to eat.”
During the day, she saw that Xue Xiaohua had dug up about a plate of wild vegetables. At this moment, she hurriedly used her points to exchange for half a kilogram of rice to cook porridge. Then, she washed the wild vegetables that Xue Xiaohua dug up and covered them with boiling water to prepare a salad.
There were no onions, ginger, or garlic at home. Bai Wenjing only used salt and a little sugar to mix them in. Then, she boiled the oil and poured the fragrance. Then, she poured vinegar into it and ate it. She did not know that even though there were not many ingredients, such a simple salad could still be considered delicious.
Bai Wenjing hurriedly finished all of this, picked up the lantern, and called the brother and sister to look at the pot. Once the porridge was cooked, they quickly ate their fill and went to sleep. Then, they went up the mountain to continue looking for Xue Bainian.
However, this mountain was really too big. In addition to the fact that it was dark, even if they mobilized the entire village to look for it, they would still be powerless. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the people from the same village also returned home one after another to sleep, in the end, only Bai Wenjing, Xie Zhaodi, and a few others were able to persevere.
Xie Zhaodi was also tired and sleepy at the moment. However, when she thought that her child was still missing, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, at this time, she walked to Bai Wenjing’s side and said, “Wenjing, if not for this, you should go back to the house and rest for a while before coming back. It’s not a good idea to continue like this. I’m afraid that these two children… I’m afraid that they won’t be found…”
Bai Wenjing’s legs were already in so much pain that she could not lift them up, but when she thought of Xue Bainian and Chunsheng who were only three or four years old, she could not bear to do it.
She originally wanted to continue searching, but she did not expect that her vision would turn dark and she would not know anything.
When she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright. When she thought about how she had searched for the child last night, Bai Wenjing suddenly sat up on the bed. She did not expect that when she walked to the door, she would see that the sun was about to set. Her nose immediately turned sour, she asked Xue Baijun beside her, “Baijun, is it already evening the next day?”
Xue baijun nodded and said, “Mother, you’re too tired. We couldn’t even wake you up after sleeping for so long.”
She was angry that she had slept until the evening of the second day. She had missed the golden time to look for the child. If the child was really lost, wouldn’t she be the biggest villain?
But that was not what was written in the novel. She clearly remembered that the youngest was gone just before the grand finale. How could it be so early?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Bai Wenjing’s tears also fell down unwillingly. At this moment, she wiped her tears and was about to walk out of the house when the door was kicked open rudely, she heard Xue Xiaohua scream, “You’re not allowed to go in.. I’m not allowing you to go in!”
