Chapter 11 Meeting Orion

"Woof woof woof... woof woof woof..."

Where did the dog's voice come from? After finally coaxing Li Siya to stop crying, Li Wen heard a dog barking.

Damn it, dogs are creatures that can bite! Seeing a dark figure rushing towards them, Li Wen's scalp suddenly went numb. When he saw the fence door in front of him, he pushed it open almost without thinking, pushed Li Siya in, and followed him in.

Li Wen buttoned the small door and pulled Li Siya back a step.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the big black wolf dog ran over on four legs and turned madly at the two of them through the fence gate, "Woof woof woof woof..."

Oh my god -

don't be caught and sold by a trafficker before being sold by a human wolf. Just kill the big wolf dog. I heard that dogs can also eat children, right? Pet dogs won't eat people, but you really can't tell for a big wolfdog like this.

Fuck! Li Wen's heart was actually very broken.

"Brother - brother -" Li Siya was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He pulled his brother and shook him like a sieve, his teeth chattering.

"Don't be afraid, it can't get in." Li Wen looked back at the closed door, wondering if he could push it open and go in. He thought that if the dog outside could rush in, they would run inside. He saw that There is also a beating stick on the side, the worst is to fight with it!

"Woof woof woof..."

The big wolf dog stood outside and barked wildly, baring its fangs and looking fierce.

A hunter wearing coarse linen clothes carried a stick on his shoulder, with a lot of prey hanging on the tail of the stick. This was the prey he went up the mountain to catch today. The hunter brought his prey down from the mountain and walked back to the house along the path. In the distance, he heard the big dog running back in front barking wildly into his yard. The hunter shouted, " General!"

The dog's name is General.

As soon as it heard the owner's voice, the dog stopped barking immediately, but its eyes were still fixed on the two villains who broke into its territory, eager to rush in and take a bite.

When he heard someone's voice and the dog in front stopped barking, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief. "Siya, don't be afraid. Someone is coming and the dog is gone." He said to Li Siya.

Orion walked in and saw two children running in his yard. Oh, why were there children in his yard? The hunter chased the dog away and asked the two little kids through the fence, "Why did you two little kids come to my house?"

"Well, I'm sorry, we didn't run in on purpose. It was the dog outside who suddenly He rushed over and scared us. Uncle, could you tell that dog not to bite us? We didn't come in to steal your things, we were just standing at the door." Li Wen tried to explain.

They really didn't come here to steal anything, they just got lost and ended up here accidentally. But it's hard for them to tell each other now that they are lost.

"Oh, don't worry, my general won't bite anyone." Orion saw that the beautiful little baby was very cute. He forgot how long it had been since he had been in contact with a child. He reached for the latch on the inside door, and the dog in front was the first to run in.

Seeing that Li Siya was about to cry loudly, Li Wen covered Li Siya's mouth, and then hugged her to prevent Li Siya from screaming.

Although he himself was trembling with fear from this dog that was bigger than them, Li Wen still insisted on hugging Li Siya. The dog either came to bite them, or circled around them, and then lowered its head to smell their scent.

This big wolfdog, half the height of a man, was taller than both of their children. When Li Wen tried to pounce, he felt that he couldn't beat the big wolfdog even with a stick. Apparently, what he just said about using a stick to fight the big wolfdog was a bit too much. So naive.

The prey put down the prey on his body and looked at the little kid holding the little girl with interest. He shouted, "General, come here." The big wolf dog ran towards his master, wagging his tail.

Seeing that the dog stopped circling around them, Li Wen let go of Li Siya, told her not to bark, and told Li Siya, "Uncle said, the general will not bite." He still said this to Li Siya. Yes, also to the dog and his owner.

Li Wen raised his head and looked at the other person. This was his first meeting with Orion. This man was dressed in coarse linen clothes with many holes patched up. His half-length hair was not tied up and hung loosely on his shoulders. He had a look on his face. He has not shaved his beard, but his nose is very straight, and his eyes are bright when he looks at people.

While he was looking at the other person, the other person's eyes were also looking at him.

For some reason, even without seeing this man's true face, Li Wen was sure that this man must be very handsome.

What on earth was he thinking? Li Wen almost wanted to slap himself on the forehead.

Li Wen's eyes fell from the man to the pile of prey behind him, and asked, "Is this the prey that uncle shot?"

"Uh-huh." The hunter nodded, with a look on his face.

"Uncle is so awesome." Li Wen didn't hesitate to smile, gave the other person a big smile, and complimented him with kindness.

Orion didn't know what the kid was planning, but he was sure that the kid was plotting against him. However, he wasn't afraid of others plotting against him. They were just two children, so what was there to be afraid of? Orion looked at the fair and clean child in front of him. He looked quite pleasing to the eye. He asked, "How old are you?"

"Five years old, not yet five years old." Li Wen gestured with a slap, thinking After thinking that his birthday was still more than a month away, I added the next sentence. In fact, Li Wen was indeed interested in this hunter. He was thinking about how to make the other party willing to send them home instead of selling them.

He didn't believe that there were so many good people with bad intentions in the world. Generally, people should be afraid of people who are too attentive to you. Like the Orion in front of him who ignored them, although he looked a bit fierce, Li Wen was sure The bad guys they met shouldn't be heinous. Because after seeing them appear in his house just now, the man didn't ask them why they came to his house, but scolded the dog not to hurt them.

So Li Wen was sure that it wouldn't be a problem if the Orion sold them, but if they wanted the other party to send them home, they didn't necessarily agree to it unconditionally.

"Uncle, how old are you? Are you here alone?" Li Wen asked since the other party couldn't really tell from his appearance.

"It's not just one person, there's also a general." Orion didn't say how old he was, but pointed at the dog next to him. The dog also counted as one.

The big wolf dog lying on the ground heard its owner calling its name. The general raised his head and looked at his owner, his eyes seeming to ask, why are you calling me.

"Oh, uncle is right. Uncle, can I pet the general?" Li Wen looked at the big dog, a little eager to try. He had wanted to keep such a big dog before, as he thought it would be very majestic, but his mother didn't like big dogs, so she was determined not to allow him to keep a big dog at home.

This dog was more ferocious than them just now, but it seemed to listen to the hunter. It should be a well-trained wolfdog. It looked smooth and well-raised. Generally speaking, a person who is kind to animals is not a bad person?

Unknowingly, Li Wen labeled Orion as "not a bad guy".

"Then you have to ask the general if he agrees with you touching it." The prey threw the question back.

"..." Li asked. If he could talk to a dog, then he would really have to rush out of the universe. He looked at the big dog, which also looked at him with drooping triangular eyes and looked indifferent to him.

The hunter untied the rope that was holding the prey, took out the alive ones and put them in the cage, and prepared to kill and eat the dead ones tonight.

Li Wen raised his head and glanced at the sun in the sky. It was probably three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be dark soon. He was secretly anxious, fearing that his mother-in-law would find out that they were missing. Worry.

But Sun Yi searched for the child outside and found that she couldn't find the child, so she went to the field to call her man and told her man that the child was missing.

"How come, I saw two children playing under the tree earlier." Now the daughter-in-law came and said that the child was missing. Li Shangu still didn't believe it, so he told his brother and went up from the ground.

"Brother, sister-in-law, let me go look for it with you." Li Shanmin heard that the child had gone somewhere and followed him from the field. Li Shangu said to his brother, "Go and take the cow back first, otherwise you will lose the cow."

"Oh, I'll go right away," Li Shanmin said.

Li Shanshangu hurriedly followed his wife. Sun Yi told her husband on the way where she had been looking. She did not find two children playing nearby. She also went into the village to look for the two children. I have never been back home, so I don't know where I am now.

This man couldn't understand why two good children disappeared.

People working in the fields said they saw two children playing here for a long time, but when the children disappeared later, no one knew after asking around.

"Ahem...but what should I do?" Sun Yi was coughing while covering her chest. Her breath became disordered when she became anxious.

"Don't be anxious. Let's look for it slowly. We will find it. The two children are just having fun and don't know where to go to play." Li Shangu was worried. He saw his wife looking for a place and her face turned red. Very distressed.

"I'm fine, let's keep looking." Sun Yi took a deep breath and said.

At this time, Li Shanmin went back home and said that the two children were missing. Li Wang stood up from the chair and asked in a higher voice, "What, why is Sanbao'er missing? Aren't you looking at the cows outside? You are a good child. Why is it missing? Have you searched everywhere after selling it?

"My brother and sister-in-law are looking for it," Li Shangu said.

"You should go look for her too. Go talk to the clan and find a few more people to look for her together." She is such a precious grandson. What if she disappears? Mrs. Li was so frightened that her whole body was shaking.

Seeing that his son was going out to look for someone, the old lady said, "I'll go to the clan with you and talk about it, and find a few more people to help us search together."

Li Shangu waited for his mother to come up, and helped his mother to go outside. Go out and find someone to help find the child.

Aunt Li, who was looking after the children in the house, heard the voices outside. When she came out, she saw her husband and her mother hurried away together. When she saw the two girls standing in the yard, she asked, "What's the matter?" "Ah, where are your father and grandma going?"

"Aniang. Dad said that the third brother and the fourth sister were missing and went out to find someone to help find the third treasure and the fourth sister. "Li Daya said when she saw her mother asking.

"Gone?" Aunt Li asked a little strangely.

"Aniang, Erya and I will go and help find someone." Li Daya wanted to go out with her father just now, but she was stopped by Aniang from behind. Now she also wanted to help find someone. . Li Erya also echoed, "Yes, Aniang, my eldest sister and I will go out together to help find Sanbao and Fourth Sister."

It would be terrible if one of them really disappears.

"Don't go!" Second Aunt Li heard that the two girls wanted to follow her. She was the only one left in the house. Who would help her take care of the children, and who would cook dinner? That woman Sun Yi ran away to find her children and didn't come back to cook. What are they going to eat tonight?

"You two go wash the vegetables and cook the food. After a while, everyone has to eat, so they all run out to find someone. Who will cook the food at home?" Aunt Li said.

"Yes, yes, mother." Li Daya hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to resist her mother.

Erya glanced at her aunt and stayed with her eldest sister.

Aunt Li was satisfied when she saw that the two girls did not dare to run out with them.

So what if a son is born? If your son is gone, you won't be left with a single one. If she is missing a girl, there are still three here. One less is one less, and she doesn't lose at all.

It seems that Aunt Li has been dissatisfied with her sister-in-law for a long time. Why is it so great for you to give birth to a son? She gave birth to four girls in a row. The mother-in-law's face became more and more bad to her. The men in the family are becoming more and more disappointed with her. At this moment, Li Sanbao is missing. Aunt Li Er can laugh out of her dreams. It's just that Li Sanbao is missing. Next year, she will give birth to Li Liujin and Li Qiyin!

Not just giving birth to a son, any woman with a belly can give birth! Aunt Li is in a very good mood.

The two girls stood behind and watched their mother-in-law enter the house. They looked at each other and asked in a low voice, "What should I do if Sanbao and Siya are missing?" They didn't know what to do. The dinner at home hadn't been cooked yet, so Li Daya had no choice but to take her second sister into the kitchen to prepare their dinner tonight.

Li Daya discovered that the key to the cabinet at home was with their grandma. There was no key from their grandma's place. They opened the cabinet to get rice to cook. The two of them discussed it, and Li Erya said, "Let's put the dishes first." Just wash it off and wait until Grandma comes back and opens the cupboard door, then we can cook."

"Yeah." There's no other way.

The two sisters were washing vegetables outside. These were the wild vegetables they picked outside in the morning. They picked some old ones to feed the chickens at home, and kept them to cook and eat as vegetables in the evening.

Chapter 12: Going around in circles [Participating in November, please collect and ask for branches]

"Uncle, do you want us to help with anything?" Li asked when he saw the hunter handling the prey and approached him if he wanted to help. Li Siya, who had been scared to death by the dog just now, opened her eyes wide when she saw the rabbit in the cage. She squatted on the edge of the cage and looked at the rabbit inside.

"How can you help me?" Orion saw that the child was smart and loved to tease him.

These two children stayed here without saying they would leave, and he did not drive them away. He just didn't know if these two children were going to stay here and live with him. He didn't mind raising two children, a boy and a girl, just enough to make a pair of children, and he could afford to raise them.

"I can burn firewood. I can help you wash and cook, stir-fry... it should be okay." But he may not be as tall as the stove now. In the past, Li Wen would cook instant noodles for himself. Anyway, he was cooking. , it should be cooked almost like that.

"Oh, you can also cook, cook, and sew clothes?" When Orion heard this, he immediately became interested. It is better to raise a child than to raise a mother-in-law. After the child is raised, he can still be filial to him.

Mother-in-law? Forget it, he has no interest in women.

Originally, he planned to live alone at the foot of the mountain, living as a hunter with a dog. Unexpectedly, the mountain god of this mountain sent him two children. That little girl should look good, but she's a little thinner, and she'll be fatter by the time he raises her.

Li Wen didn't know that he was playing tricks on others, and others were playing tricks on him.

The other party didn't want to sell them for money, he just wanted to keep them as his son and daughter.

Sewing clothes?

"I don't know how to do this, but my mother can. Uncle, your clothes are torn, right? I can ask my mother-in-law to sew them for you." Li Wen blinked his big, sincere eyes and said, "Uncle, you have to go Are you a guest at our house? My grandma's cooking is delicious."

The little boy was almost wagging his tail like the big wolf dog.

It took me a long time to figure out what this kid had in mind? He didn't know how the two children came to his house. At this moment, he was sure that the two children could not find their way back. Orion smiled in his heart, and said with a serious look on his face, "It's better not to do it. It's too troublesome, and I have to trouble your mother to do it. Don't you know how to cook? I'll try to cook a meal later. Let's see if it tastes good."

"..." Uncle, please don't do this. Let's discuss it later. Li Wen even felt like crying. However, this time the negotiation failed, there will be another opportunity. He encouraged himself in his heart not to be discouraged. If he keeps working hard, he will definitely let the other party come to his home as a guest.

Orion disposed of the dead rabbit, dug out the internal organs and peeled off the skin.

"Oh, I still have eggs outside." Li Wen just remembered the eggs they picked up today and ran out to pick up all their eggs from the ground outside. He really knew how to cook a dish, "Uncle, We can eat eggs tonight. I can scramble eggs."

"Oh, is that right? I can try your skills later." Seeing that what this boy said seemed true, Orion thought it would be a good idea to try it. , I was actually looking forward to this kid's performance.

God knows, the only dish he could cook in his previous life was scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

But this place probably doesn't have tomatoes, so if there are onions, I'll have scrambled eggs with green onions. If there's no onions, I'll just scramble the eggs.

Although Li Wen wanted to take his sister home, he was afraid that his mother and the others would worry about him, but at the moment the other party refused to send them back, and they didn't know the way back. Besides, it was getting dark now, and there were still many dangers on their way back. If anything happened on the way that was worse than what he had to endure patiently with Orion here, at least he could see some hope now.

Be patient, Li Wen, he told himself in his mind.

They haven't seen them back at home at this time, and they may have noticed that they are missing. Li Wen was a little worried that his mother-in-law would be worried about them. His mother-in-law was not in good health. What if she fell ill?

Hey...

Li Wen sighed in his heart and said

Chapter 13 Orion has meat to eat here

The wind in the sky blew away the clouds, and white clouds were floating in the wind. Today's sky is very blue, the clouds are very white, and the mountains are very green, but Li Wen is not in the mood to enjoy these scenery today. He was usually at home, but at this time, the family was already cooking.

The hunter set up a fire, lit the fire, skewered the skinned rabbit on a stick, put the rabbit on the shelf, and roasted it on top of the fire. One rabbit was not enough for him to fill his teeth alone, let alone a big wolfdog and two little children at home. He had no intention of letting the little ones starve on the first day with him.

His harvest on the mountain was pretty good today. He caught a few rabbits and pheasants, and shot a large deer. In the past, when returning from hunting in the mountains, the hunters would carry their prey to the town to sell, and then come back after having a full stomach. He could walk quickly alone and be back before dark. The hunter looked at the two little children at home and gave up the idea of ​​going to the town to sell his prey.

As for these prey, the dead ones were brought and eaten, and the remaining living animals could be sold in the town tomorrow. The hunters did not care about the money from selling the deer.

"Brother, roast rabbit." Li Siya saw the rabbit roasting on the fire and swallowed with difficulty. The rabbit didn't look at it anymore. She ran over to hold her brother's hand and looked at the rabbit being roasted on the shelf. , the meaning is obvious.

"Yeah." Li Wen's eyes were dull. He looked over at the shelf. He had forgotten how long it had been since they had eaten meat. The last time they ate meat was during the Chinese New Year. After the New Year, their family never ate meat again. Now March is here, a full three months ago.

After the winter, no one's food reserves are much. Which one doesn't go out to the fields to pick some wild vegetables and cook them to eat? As long as they are hungry, there is no meat to eat. The mountain is right in front of you, so you must have the ability to go up the mountain to hunt prey. Otherwise, your life will be lost before you catch the prey. He saw that this hunter had hunted so many prey and had a dog at home. He was living a pretty carefree life, but this was also because he ate meat based on his ability. Li Wen looked at his little arms and legs. , I can't envy you.

TSXDZ

"What are you doing standing there? Didn't you just say that you would come and help me? Hey, little kid, you haven't told me yet, what are your names?" Orion stepped forward and dragged up the newly dead animal. Not long after, the deer said to the two children, "You came today at the right time. I caught a deer and I will kill it and eat it with you."

"My brother's name is Li Sanbao, and my name is Li Siya." As soon as Li Siya heard that there was meat to eat, she betrayed her brother first.

"..." Li asked, Li Siya, can you make a difference? Also, his name is not Li Sanbao, it is a nickname given by his family. How could an outsider who had only known him for less than a day tell him his nickname?

When he talked about this, he remembered that everyone in his family called him the Three Treasures and Three Treasures, but they didn't even give him a name. But at least he was still called Sanbao, which sounded like a valuable one, like Da Ya, Er, Ya and Si Ya, but sounded like a worthless girl movie. Thinking about it, he felt happy first, so his mood was not so bad.

No matter how bad the situation was, it was still no better than being eaten by a wild beast or being caught and sold by a trafficker. This hunter with a shaggy beard didn't look like a bad guy at first glance, but he didn't look like a heinous bad guy either. Maybe when Orion is in a good mood tomorrow, he can send them back, Li Wen thought optimistically.

"Heh, Li Sanbao, Li Siya, what a good name." After Orion finished speaking, he smiled and easily lifted the deer from the ground with one hand.

The names sounded like brother and sister, but the two children looked nothing alike, and they seemed to be about the same age. Orion guessed that the two children should be cousins, not brothers born to the same parents. Seeing that the boy is protecting the younger one, he is still a good one who can take care of his sister.

He remembered that there seemed to be a village near here called Lijiacun?

"This animal is...is it a deer?" Li Wen stared at the deer held by the hunter. In his previous life, he had only seen this kind of animal in the zoo. If he remembered correctly, this kind of animal was also a national animal in his previous life. To protect animals, killing them is illegal.

Then he thought, yes, let alone eating deer deer in this world, as long as you have the ability, no one will care if you eat tigers. Li Wen also threw away the mess in his mind.

He saw that Orion could easily lift such a big deer with one hand, and he knew that Orion was very strong. Seeing the Orion carrying the deer to go out, Li Wen asked, "Uncle, aren't you going to kill this deer? Where are you going to carry it?"

"Killing here will make the place dirty. I'll do it outside. You The two of you stay inside and watch the fire, don't let it go out." Orion raised his chin and asked the clever boy to watch the fire for him. After a while, the fire would have to be extinguished again.

"Oh, I got it." They didn't know where they could go if they didn't stay here. Li Sanbao glanced at the big wolf dog sleeping at the door. I don't know if it knew he was looking at it, but the big wolf dog raised its eyelids and glanced at him. It didn't take them seriously. The big wolf dog could easily bite off his little neck.

Thinking about it, I might as well forget it. I can't run away and I don't know where to go, so just stay here and figure out what to do later.

There was a small well outside the house with a lid on it. The hunter threw the prey onto the grass and opened the lid. This small well was dug by himself for the convenience of water. It happened to be dug at the spring. The water came out without going too deep. The water inside was very clear.

Realizing that he had forgotten to take the basin, Orion strode back to the yard and went into the kitchen to get a large basin. Li Wen followed him in and saw two pots and a few dishes in the kitchen. It was empty and there was nothing else. There was a thick layer of dust on the table. He didn't know how long it had been since Orion had cooked in it. After dinner, he followed him outside.

The hunter took the basin and went outside, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and gently slid it on the deer's neck. Blood spurted out from it, and the spurted blood flowed into the basin. I saw him using the dagger in his hand to quickly disembowel the deer and clean it up.

Li Wen stood at the door of the yard and watched the Orion handle the deer. The scene seemed very bloody to him. Li Siya squatted there and was responsible for watching the fire. He regarded watching the fire as an important task. While watching the fire, he drooled over the rabbit being roasted.

Soon the outer layer of oil on the rabbit was baked, making a sizzling sound.

"Okay, let's go in. What are you standing here looking at?" Orion came in carrying the finished deer. He passed by Li Sanbao who was standing at the door and looked at the little baby who was not even taller than his waist. He was in a good mood.

Li Wen saw Orion carrying the deer deer and was skewering the deer, probably preparing it for roasting. He finally understood why there was a thick layer of ash accumulated in Orion's kitchen. It turned out that this man did not go into the kitchen at all. Cook.

"Uncle, do you eat barbecue every day?" Li Wen asked.

"Ah, I think I may not need it in the future. Isn't it because you can cook and stir-fry? I will rely on you from now on." Orion smiled with bright black eyes, and it was true that from now on, I will rely on these five-year-olds. The little kid cooked for him.

No, uncle, my cooking skills are no better than yours! And when did I say I would stay and cook for you? a bolt from the blue! Li Wen also understood at this moment that Orion Ganqing was not planning to sell them, but was planning to keep the two of them as his son and daughter, leaving them here to wash clothes, cook and serve him as an uncle? !

Li Wen rubbed his forehead with a headache. He didn't know what to say. He felt that he had to find a way to let Orion think about this idea. His father, mother, grandmother, and relatives were all waiting at home for him and Li Siya to return. Woolen cloth.

"You are both hungry, right? It will take a while longer for the rabbit to be cooked." Orion put the processed deer on another shelf to roast. He came over to take a look at the rabbit being roasted, then turned in one direction and continued roasting. It can be so fast.

"Yeah." Li Siya's eyes followed the movement of the rabbit, and he nodded sharply, wiping his saliva several times.

And Li Siya, can you make a difference? A pair of eyes are glued to that rabbit.

Smelling the scent of meat in the air, his stomach growled. His strong willpower could not resist the hunger in his stomach. But if possible, he would rather go home at this time. Li Wen felt a little helpless. The later it got, the more he missed his mother. From birth to now, this was the first time that Li Wen left his mother. I wonder if he Are dad and grandma looking for them?

Now that Li Siya saw the meat, her mind completely lost sight of home. She probably wished she could stay here and raise her as a daughter to Orion.

"Uncle, I want to go pick some wild vegetables to make soup." He was afraid that since they had not eaten meat for so long, their stomachs would not be able to bear this meal of meat, and instead they would be afraid of themselves. Li Wen wanted to go outside to pick some wild vegetables. Let's make some soup. It will be better to drink some wild vegetable soup and then eat meat later.

"Do you want to eat wild vegetable soup?" Instead of eating the meat, he wanted to eat wild vegetable soup. Orion couldn't figure out what was going on in this little kid's mind.

"Well, I'll go out and look for it." Li Wen often followed Daya and Erya out to look for wild vegetables on weekdays. He probably knew a little about what wild vegetables looked like. There was a patch of green grass outside the door, with wild vegetables in it, which he had seen on the way here just now.

The little boy was going to pick wild vegetables, but Orion ignored him and said, "Go ahead, don't go too far."

Li Wen went out to look for wild vegetables, picked a small handful without going far, and came back to wash them. After cleaning, I went to the kitchen to find a small pot and poured water into it. The hunter built a small stove outside with stones, brought a piece of burning firewood from next door, and started a fire in a few seconds.

They waited outside for the meat to be cooked. When the water boiled, Li Wen put the wild vegetables in and cooked them.

Chapter 14 Looking for a child

The sun in the west is setting lower and lower, and the days are getting shorter.

Orion found a stool and moved it over to sit on it. He took out a small wine jar from somewhere, uncorked it, raised his head and took a sip, letting out a contented sigh. Seeing the little baby staring at him, Orion asked with a smile, "Do you want to drink?"

"No." Li Wen shook his head, he didn't know how to drink.

The meat being roasted on the shelf was sizzling with oil spilling from it, and the smell of meat in the air was getting stronger and stronger. The stomachs of the two little kids were growling with hunger.

The deer is larger and takes longer to roast. The skin of the rabbit roasted previously is already golden brown. The hunter put down the wine jar in his hand, stood up, cut off a bloody deer leg with a dagger and threw it to the big dog. The big dog, which was lying there and dozing, jumped up, opened its mouth to catch the meat, and found a place to hold the meat. Went to eat.

Orion sprinkled a little salt on the rabbit meat, took the rabbit off the shelf, pulled out a leg and gave it to the kid, "Eat it."

"Thank you, uncle." Li Wen swallowed, took it, and turned But the head handed the meat to Li Siya who was drooling looking at the meat in his hand. Li Siya grabbed it and took a fierce bite. She grinned at her brother through bared teeth and handed the bitten piece of meat to her brother's mouth, asking her brother to eat it too.

Orion took one look at the child, pulled off the second leg and gave it to the child, and ate the rest himself.

Li Wen said thank you, took it, and asked Li Siya to have her own. He also had some here.

At this time, the wild vegetable soup he had cooked was also finished. Li Wen poured a bowl of wild vegetable soup for himself and Li Siya. After leaving it for a while, it was no longer too hot. He said, "Siya, don't worry about eating meat. Have some soup."

Li Siya responded humbly, with no intention of drinking at all. His mouth was full of meat and his cheeks were bulging, like a little squirrel in the mountains.

"Uncle, do you want some soup?" Li Wen asked the man who was eating meat before drinking.

Orion raised the wine jar in his hand, shook it at the boy, and said, "I'll drink this."

If you don't want to drink it, forget it. He drank it by himself. Li Wen drank the wild vegetable soup he cooked and ate roasted vegetables. rabbit. It's been a long time since I've eaten meat. This roasted rabbit is really delicious. I miss the taste of meat.

Even after his parents passed away in his previous life, he didn't suffer much. After his parents passed away, they left him a lot of inheritance, and the insurance company also paid a large sum of money, so he didn't have much money on his hands at all. He was short of money, and as long as he didn't spend it carelessly, the money he had in hand would be enough for him to finish college and still have some left over, so he had never tasted the feeling of starvation before.

It's just that since he came to this world, he hasn't had a full stomach since he was born, and he hasn't eaten meat even a few times throughout the year. But he also knew that even if the whole family was about to run out of food, his grandma would definitely eat his first bite. I won't starve to death here, but my life is not too good either.

I don't know how long this painful day will last, Li Wen thought to himself while eating meat silently.

After the hunter finished eating the meat, he threw the skeleton to the big dog who came back. The big dog opened its mouth to catch it, biting the bones one by one, making a crisp sound.

Orion got up and turned the deer that was being roasted, then turned it over and continued roasting. He looked back at the two little children who were also squatting there eating meat. The little girl ate fiercely, with food all over her face. Li Sanbao ate slowly. Except for a little dirt on his mouth, his face was not dirty. His eating appearance was much more gentle than the little girl's.

Not only did Orion have some doubts in his heart, why were children raised by the same family so different? Comparing the two children, Orion liked Li Sanbao more.

After finishing the leg of a rabbit, Li Siya stared at the big roasted deer again. She put the oily paw in and licked it in her mouth. It didn't feel dirty. The pigtails her sister had tied up for her in the morning had already fallen apart, and with her dirty face, she looked like a little beggar.

"Si Ya, don't eat your hands, drink some soup." Li Wen looked serious and handed the remaining soup in the bowl to Li Si Ya.

"We have meat to eat, brother, why do you want me to drink wild vegetable soup?" Li Siya looked at her brother with a pair of big black and white eyes. She didn't want to drink it after smelling this smell. Li Siya looked at her brother's look and knew that her brother would be angry with her if she didn't obey, so she took it and ate it in small bites.

When Li Wen saw Li Siya drinking wild vegetable soup and ignoring her, he remembered that he wanted scrambled eggs. He raised his head and asked Orion, "Uncle, do you still want to eat scrambled eggs? If you want to eat, I will make them." "

Let's do it tomorrow." Orion is not in a hurry. He has meat to eat now, and he can eat the scrambled eggs made by the little boy tomorrow.

The hunter was already calculating what he would eat tomorrow. Li Wen looked up at the sky.

When the deer meat was cooked, Li Siya ate a large piece of deer meat, and he couldn't stop him. Li Wen just ate a piece of rabbit meat and drank a large bowl of wild vegetable soup. Now his stomach was half full, so he tasted a little bit of deer meat. Although he wanted to continue eating, he restrained himself after thinking about it. .

Orion had not eaten enough just now. Now that the deer meat was cooked, he ate a lot of it. No matter how good the roast meat was, eating three meals a day was not that good anymore. He drank the remaining wine in the jar. . The hunter gave the rest of the deer meat to the big dog next to him. The big dog had a satisfying meal and took the uneaten parts to his den for tomorrow.

Li Wen took a look and found out that the Orion family's dog was so smooth.

The last bit of light in the sky was slowly fading away, and it was getting dark.

Just as it was getting dark, the adults in the clan who had gone out to help look for the children all came back, and all of them said they couldn't find anyone. It was already dark but the two children were still not back. Something must have happened to them. The women standing outside the door were all whispering about it.

There are some families in the village who have lost their children. Basically, the missing children have never been found.

"Patriarch, you have to help me find my good grandson. I am such a good grandson. How come our three treasures, such a good boy, are missing? Patriarch, you have to help us." Get the baby back..." Mrs. Li knelt in front of the clan leader, crying.

The relationship between Wang Li's family and the clan leader is still close to that of the fifth server.

When the patriarch saw that his grandson was missing from his old aunt's house, he personally led his people to look for him. When he found it, he came back after it was already dark, but he couldn't see the two children. When Mrs. Li knelt down in front of him and cried, the clan leader was also very embarrassed. He quickly pulled her up and said, "Auntie, get up quickly." When the people

nearby saw this, they also helped to persuade Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li Wang only has such a precious grandson, and her second daughter-in-law has given birth to a whole house of girls but they have not been able to give birth to a grandson. It is no wonder that Mrs. Li is crying so hard that she is almost blind.

They all watched Sanbao's child grow up. The child had a sweet mouth and was sensible since he was a child. He always asked questions when meeting people. They all liked that child. Now they knew that Li Sanbao and Li Siya were missing, and their families sent people out to help look for them.

It was getting dark now, and the children hadn't come back yet. They went out and couldn't find the children. They were afraid that the two children were in danger.

Sun Yi, who was frantically looking for her children outside, was dragged home by the man in her family. She sat on a stool in the house without moving since she came back. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her tears were still falling silently. . The woman in the village who had a good relationship with her comforted her a few words, knowing that she couldn't hear anything at the moment, so she said nothing.

"I will go to town to report to the officials tomorrow and ask people from the Yamen to help search and see if the two children can be found." The village chief personally promised the old lady that he would report to the officials tomorrow and ask people from the Yamen to help search for them.

Mrs. Li thanked her one by one. If she hadn't been supported by someone, the old lady would have almost knelt down and kowtowed to the village chief and others.

"Let's all go back first. You family members should also take a rest early and wait until tomorrow to figure out what to do with this child." The patriarch told Li Shangu.

"Yes, patriarch, let's go slowly." It was getting dark now. Everyone helped to find food for half a day without even having a bite to eat. Everyone was about to go home. Li Gushan saw the village chief and others off and saw everyone off at the door. go out.

Everyone in the yard was gone. The man touched his face. He went into the kitchen, put some food in a bowl and brought it into the house. Seeing his wife sitting here motionless, the man whispered, "Xiaoyi, please eat something."

"If Sanbao doesn't come back, you will starve yourself first."

Sun Yi shook her head, her eyes Looking ahead blankly. She couldn't eat, she couldn't find her son, and she couldn't take a bite of anything.

The man persuaded his wife for a while, but when he saw that she really refused to eat, Li Shangu went to his mother-in-law's place again, comforted her for a few words, and got some food for her, and then went back to his room to do his own business. I haven't even had a drink of water all day.

At this moment when the whole family couldn't sleep, Aunt Li in the next room went to bed in a good mood. Li Laoer returned to the house and saw his mother-in-law lying on the bed. He walked over and slapped his mother-in-law and whispered, "Sleep, sleep, sleep. You are the only one who can still sleep now. Sanbao and Sibao." I don't know where the child is, and I don't see you helping me look for it."

"Listen to what you said, if we can't find the two children, we won't have to eat or sleep, right? " Who saw it?" When Aunt Li heard what the man at home said, she sat up from the bed. She also knew that her mother could not hear this, so she only dared to complain to the man at home in a low voice.

"Siya, that fourth girl doesn't know where she went, and she doesn't know where she's coming back. When she comes back, I'll give her a good beating."

The children on the little bed were already asleep at this time, with their little faces asleep. of innocence.

Li Laoer took off his shoes, lifted the quilt and lay down. When Li Ahua saw the man lying down, she didn't dare to say anything at this moment and pulled the quilt over to sleep with her.

Chapter 15 What did he do wrong?

Night fell and it became dark. An oil lamp was placed on the table, and the lighted candle illuminated the small room. The furnishings inside the room are simple, with a bed inside, a table and a few stools in the middle, and some sundries.

There was a whistling wind outside the house, and along with it was the cry of a child.

Li Siya curled up in a ball on the bed with a stomachache, her little face turned pale with pain, she hugged her brother's neck tightly with both hands and cried, asking her brother, "Brother, will I die?" "

What are you thinking about? Don't worry, you will never die." Li Wen told Li Siya calmly, thinking that if you don't let me go, you will be strangled to death. Let me go first. Just lie on the bed for a while, and the pain will subside after a while."

He even told her not to eat so much meat and drink more wild vegetable soup, but this girl still didn't listen to him. They haven't eaten meat for a long time, so eating so much meat at once is not a good thing for them. Their fragile stomachs can't handle it. Not long after eating, the little girl started complaining of stomachache and vomited twice. I vomited out all the meat I just ate.

The little girl was sobbing pitifully. She didn't know whether it was because she had a stomachache or because she had vomited out all the meat she had eaten.

Li Wen himself felt better, maybe because he drank wild vegetable soup before eating meat. In addition, he didn't eat much meat, so he stopped when he felt about 70% full. It's not like a little girl who wants to eat all the deer by herself.

"Stop crying, Li Siya, you are already so ugly. If you cry again, you will become even uglier." Li Wen saw Li Siya crying with her mouth wide open, her nose and eyes squeezed into a pile, and she was crying loudly. It looks really ugly.

"Wow -"

the little girl cried louder. Her brother said she was ugly, which made the little girl even worse. The little girl cried very sadly, with big tears falling down.

Li Wen didn't even know what the problem was, so why did Li Siya cry more and more the more he coaxed her?

After all, this was his own sister, and he couldn't abandon her. This was the first time that Li Wen saw Li Siya crying so sadly. She was even sadder than when they were lost and couldn't find their way out.

After finally coaxing Li Siya to stop crying so hard and letting go of the two hands holding his neck, Li Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Afraid that Li Siya would rush to hug him again, he quickly took a big step back as soon as he was let go, and happened to bump into the legs of Orion standing behind him.

Orion stretched out his hand to hold Li Sanbao down, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"How about I ask a doctor to come over and take a look at her?" Orion looked down at the two little kids. He felt a little worried when the little girl cried out that she hurt him. He was afraid that she might really hurt to death.

"It's okay, just let her hurt for a while." Li Wen's face was calm, without any panic at all. He said, "If the food tonight is poisonous, Si Ya won't be the only one with a stomachache. Uncle and I, you It's nothing. Siya's stomachache is because she ate too much meat at once and her stomach can't bear it. The pain will be gone after a while."

Why did he think Li Sanbao's words were reasonable?

Orion looked at the little girl with a thin face that was no bigger than his palm. The ferocious eating look of the little girl flashed in his mind, and he thought that it was really possible.

If there was a problem with the food, the three of them and the dog ate it, so it was impossible that the little girl had a stomachache. Besides, he had brought the prey down from the mountain and cooked it with his own hands. He had not poisoned it, so the Orion felt that what this boy said made sense. Orion asked Li Sanbao, "Boy, do you still understand this?"

Shouldn't this be common sense? Li Wen glanced at Orion, with contempt in his eyes.

"..." Orion, boy, what's that look in your eyes? He felt looked down upon by this boy who was less than five years old.

By the candlelight, Li Wen looked at the small house and could see that there was only one place where Orion lived. There is only one bed in this place. Do the three of them want to sleep together tonight? Li Wen stared at Orion and asked, "Uncle, where shall we sleep tonight?"

Orion's eyes fell on the bed where the little girl was sleeping, and his eyes told Li Sanbao that of course they were sleeping on the same bed.

"Brother..." Li Siya struggled to get up when no one paid attention to her on the bed.

When Li Siya called him, Li Wen turned around and asked, "Siya, what do you want to do?"

"Brother, my stomach hurts. I, I have to go to the toilet." Li Siya said with a painful look on his face.

Is this causing diarrhea? Li Wen quickly went over to help Li Siya up, looked at Orion, and asked him where the toilet was.

Orion understood, touched his nose, pointed outside, and said, "Go out and find a place."

Uncle, it turns out you are such a person...

Li Wen glanced at Orion with a faint look, Orion was attracted by this kid He looked uncomfortable, as if he had done something heinous. At this time, Li Wendu had already taken Li Siya outside and led them away from the house to the grassland, leaving Li Siya to solve her problem there.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Siya called out to him, "Brother, don't go, I'm afraid of the dark."

"..." Li Wen, who was standing three meters away, stopped a little further away, facing Li Siya said, "I'm right here, you pull it."

Puff - Puff - Puff -

Li Wen, who was standing three meters away, could still hear Li Siya's farts that echoed through the sky. There was a sound of pooping. He raised his hand and pinched his nose with two fingers. He looked up at the sky. What on earth had he done wrong that God wanted to punish him like this?

Chapter 16: A night of tossing [Enter to ask for branches]

"Brother, I'm really going to die." When Li Siya came out of the grass for the third time, he was so angry that he was walking with his heels floating, and his whole body was floating.

"You can't die. Even if you are so greedy, the King of Hell will not accept you." Even though Li Wen disliked Li Siya, when he saw the person coming, he still went over and helped the person back into the house with one hand. on the bed.

Li Wen brought a bowl of salted water with salt. With the help of Orion, he helped the little girl up, handed the bowl to the little girl's mouth, and said, "Drink it."

Li Siya closed her mouth . He opened his eyes, opened his mouth and drank a bowl of water.

"Go to sleep, you'll be fine when you wake up." With Orion's help, Li Wen put Li Siya back on the bed and covered her with a quilt. The little girl touched the head of the bed and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. Her already thin face was pale and pale, and she looked so pitiful.

After being so busy, Li Wen was sitting on the bed and didn't want to move.

Orion looked worried, afraid that something would really happen to the little girl.

"Uncle, it's okay. Don't worry. Just wait until Si Ya tomorrow." Li Wen said when he saw Orion standing by the bed and looking worriedly at Li Si Ya. Li Siya fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and it seemed that he would not get up again to have diarrhea and vomit. He reached out and touched Li Siya's face. There was no fever or anything like that, so it shouldn't be a big problem. .

If you still have diarrhea and vomiting later and have a high fever, you really have to go to the doctor overnight.

You bitch, your life is not that easy to die.

"Boy, you know medical skills, what was that bowl of food you gave the little girl to drink just now?" Orion sat next to Li Sanbao, his eyes unabashedly curious about this boy.

Li Wen bared his teeth and smiled at Orion with an expression like "I won't tell you."

Just a bowl of light salt water can replenish salt for diarrhea and prevent dehydration. This is a truth that everyone understands in modern times, but people in this era do not understand it. It is difficult for him to explain this truth to the ancients.

Seeing that Orion was still staring at you, with a look on his face that he would not look away until he explained, Li Wen told Orion, "Just a bowl of water, put some salt in it."

"Is it useful to drink like this?" Orion asked.

"I don't know, maybe there is, maybe not." Li Wen kicked off his shoes. After walking all day today, there was a hole in the toe of his shoes. He always cherished the small clothes and shoes made for him by his mother-in-law. , the shoes are still new even when they no longer fit.

But if they are broken, they are broken. These shoes are too small for my feet and a bit cramped. He saw his mother-in-law sewing new shoes for him. Li Wen thought of the mother-in-law who sewed small clothes and shoes for him with a smile, and he found that he missed her mother-in-law.

This kid...

Orion saw the kid crawling onto the bed and refused to talk to him anymore. But also, what does a child know? Orion felt that he was thinking too much.

There was only one bed in the house, and the three of them slept together. Fortunately, their two children were not big, so the bed was enough for the three of them. Li Siya was sleeping in the corner, already asleep.

Li Wen slept in the middle, and Orion lay outside.

They didn't take a shower tonight, and they were still wearing the same dirty clothes they wore today, which made Li Wen a little uncomfortable. Except when it was cold, he didn't take a bath every day. He usually took a bath once a day. His mother-in-law knew that he loved to be clean, so she would bring him a basin of water back to the house to bathe him at night, and put on clean clothes before going to bed. sleep.

As a modern human being who has to take a shower every day, Li Wen was a little uncomfortable with having to sleep with a bad smell all night. At this moment, he felt that he still had the smell of Li Siya's shit on him, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he thought about it.

"Sambo, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Orion found that the child beside him had his eyes open and didn't know what he was thinking. He came to this place alone for more than two years and lived by hunting every day. Except for one dog, he was sleeping in the same bed with two children for the first time. This feeling made him feel a little bit... Fresh.

"I'm thinking about my grandma." Li Wen said quietly.

The little boy missed his grandma at night, and Orion remembered that when he was a child, he wanted to get close to his grandma but did not dare to get close to her. The son of the Zhao family will go to the battlefield with his father early, and he will learn martial arts from the time he can walk. How can he be like a milk baby and pester his mother.

Orion thought of something and exhaled.

"Uncle, can you send me and Siya back tomorrow? My mother-in-law is not in good health, and I'm afraid she will fall ill if she can't find me. Send us back, and I will repay you well in the future." After getting along with him for such a long time, Li Wen could confirm that Orion was not a bad person, and it was more important to keep them here to tease them.

"Well, go to sleep. You have to give me scrambled eggs tomorrow." Orion rubbed the boy's head and put him to sleep.

Raising two babies is not as simple as he thought. He still wants to raise a baby and just feed the baby. He didn't expect to have to deal with so many things. This guy took care of the little girl who made a fuss tonight. Look at this guy. She seems more sensible than him.

Moreover, the two babies have their parents. He can't keep the two babies here with him. The parents may be impatient at home. Thinking of this, Orion thinks that he should send the baby back tomorrow. Come on.

Li Wen knew that Orion had promised him.

After receiving Orion's response, Li Wen closed his eyes and fell asleep contentedly.

Hearing the baby's breathing, Orion knew that the baby was asleep, and he closed his eyes as well.

Outside the house, a big wolf dog lay sleeping at the door, its two big ears raised to listen to the sounds coming from all directions. There was not much movement this night, everything was quiet, and the people in the house were asleep.

Chapter 17: Give me a kick [asking for Zhizhi]

"Aww-"

The moon slowly rose from the other side of the mountain, and the clear moonlight poured into the wilderness, and the wolves howled in the mountains in the distance. The big dog lying in the yard raised its eyelids and glanced at the mountains not far away, then closed its eyes and continued to sleep.

The wind is running wildly on the wild ground, and under the moonlight, the grass and trees are quietly spreading their green core buds, and the leaves are constantly growing and growing. Nature is carrying out a mysterious movement in the dark night.

"Huh -"

A windy foot kicked towards his face. When it was less than a palm's width away from his chin, Orion reached out and caught it.

He thought it was some hidden weapon plotting against him, but when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be one of Li Sanbao's stinky feet, which kicked him just under the tip of his nose. The fuming Orion frowned. Orion took Li Sanbao's foot away in disgust, and soon kicked him with another foot. He caught it again.

If he hadn't been sure that the boy had really fallen asleep with his eyes closed, Orion would have suspected that the boy kicked him deliberately in the middle of the night.

Orion has always been a light sleeper. If there is any disturbance at night, he will be the first to wake up.

The kid next to him made trouble several times one night, and Orion found that he couldn't sleep, so that night he clearly heard Li Sanbao spinning around on the bed. He found that this kid kicked something when he was sleeping, and his small body was smooth. Slipping down through the gap between them.

Afraid of someone falling on the bed, Orion kindly stretched out his feet to stop him. Unexpectedly, the boy held his feet and climbed up until he climbed up to his chest and pressed on him, holding his arms with both hands. Holding on to his neck, he lay on his body and slept.

"..." Orion.

After a while, Orion tried to take off the two small hands wrapped around his neck. He moved away from the left side, and then wrapped around him with the right side, all four limbs holding on to him. Orion tried hard for a while but couldn't remove the boy's hands and feet.

The more he tried to push her away, the tighter the kid held him, his mouth open and he was still snoring, sleeping soundly. Orion took a deep breath and restrained himself from throwing the boy holding him onto the bed.

Li Wen was dreaming. He dreamed that in his previous life, he took an exam and ranked third from the bottom of the class in English. The English teacher called his mother to complain. After that, his mother was going to whip him with a ruler. He hugged him tightly. His mother's legs prevented her from getting the ruler, and he heard his mother shouting, "Li Qian, go to the study and get the ruler."

Li Qian is his father, dear father.

Son, I'm sorry, my wife's words are imperial edicts and I have to listen to them. Professor Li gave his son an apologetic look and went to the study to get a ruler. He took it out and handed it to my wife respectfully, "My wife, what do you want?"

"Hehe, you brat, you should die!" Li

Wen dreamed of his mother's smiling face. In his opinion, Ms. Song's beautiful face was simply scarier than the dominatrix's face.

"I must not be your biological child..."

Dreaming that the ruler in his mother's hand was about to hit him, Li Wen was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of bloodshot eyes. The gloomy eyes and the unshaven face startled him. Li Wen opened his mouth and shouted, "Ah..."

"Shut up!" Orion raised his hand to cover Li Sanbao's mouth and face. It was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he almost threw the boy lying on him out.

"Uh huh..." Let me go and promise not to scream, Li Wen told Orion with his eyes, a sincere look on his face. At this moment, Li Wen remembered that he and Li Siya got lost yesterday and ran away to Orion's house. Orion kindly treated them to meat and let them sleep in his bed.

At this moment, the sky outside was getting slightly brighter, and light came in from the window.

Li Wen saw clearly that he was holding Orion's neck with both hands. No wonder the distance between the two people was so close. He thought of his wild and unrestrained sleeping posture, and suddenly felt a little guilty. Li Wen hurriedly let go of his hand around Orion's neck, stepped away a little, and sat on the bed with his legs crossed.

Orion also sat up from the bed, one big and one small looking at each other face to face.

Taking advantage of the cuteness of a child his age, Li Sanbao showed a cute smile and said to Orion, "Good morning, uncle."

"..." Orion, who had not slept all night, found that he was a little dizzy now.

Li Siya, who huddled in a corner and slept all night, was covered with an Orion suit.

The quilt had been swept away by Li Sanbao and kicked out of bed last night. Li Wen slept with a large human-shaped heater in his arms last night. He probably held Orion in his arms last night. Another reason was that he was cold and Orion's body was full of odor. Suffering from the heat, he hugged the person tightly and refused to let go.

Fortunately, Li Siya still had a piece of clothing covering her body, otherwise she would really have to go to the doctor when she woke up in the morning.

"Brother." Li Siya was woken up by her brother. The little girl woke up and called out "brother" in a daze.

After the little girl got up after sleeping all night, her hair was like a bird's nest, and her eyes were still covered with eye excrement and stained on her eyelashes. The little girl stretched out her hands to rub her eyes. She really didn't look good.

"Si Ya, does your stomach still hurt?" Li Sanbao still remembered that Li Si Ya had been vomiting and diarrhea all night last night. Now he saw someone and got up. He went over to take a look and found that the little girl's Apart from looking a little pale, he seems to be in good spirits.

Li Siya touched her stomach, which made a growl. She looked at her brother and said, "Brother, I'm hungry."

It's good to know that I'm hungry. It doesn't seem to be a serious problem, Li Wen thought.

"Uncle, do you want to sleep for a while? I promised to scramble eggs for you last night, so I'll scramble them for you. Do you have rice here? Can we make some porridge?" As for the little tail, Li Sanbao must have waggled his little tail in front of Orion. He showed a cute smile to Orion and looked fawning.

"It's in the kitchen, you... forget it, I'll get up." Orion resignedly got up, put on his shoes, and got out of bed.

Li Wen followed Orion out, and saw Orion going out to the yard to get water to wash his face. He followed Orion out to wash his face, holding water in his two hands to rinse his mouth, and after that, he combed a few of his small hairs with his hands. .

In the past, his grandma and grandma tied his hair into buns, but now that he couldn't tie his hair himself, Li Sanbao was thinking about his grandma again.

Orion glanced at the boy washing his face and gargling next to him, feeling a little surprised.

Realizing that Orion was looking at him, Li Wen showed an innocent and lovely smile to Orion and called out "Uncle."

Orion didn't say anything, but went back into the yard with the water, and came out to cover the manhole cover to prevent people or animals from accidentally falling in. . He dug the hole with great difficulty, but if someone fell or died and soiled his puddle, he would have to dig it again.

Li Siya was not as particular as her brother. When she woke up, she sat at the door and stared at the big dog in the yard warily. She still remembered that the dog almost bit her and her brother yesterday. When the little girl saw this The big dog is a little scared.

The big dog didn't even look at a little girl who was so skinny that she didn't have much meat. He was also very picky about his food and didn't eat everything.

"Brother." Seeing her brother come in, the little girl shouted happily.

"Si Ya, keep sitting there, and you will have food later." Li Wen was not very afraid of this big dog, but Li Wen was not afraid of this dog anymore. He knew that there was an Orion, and this dog was It wouldn't bite him, and he even tried to touch this big dog, which was taller than him.

It would be better if he could ride on its back, Li Wen thought to himself.

Orion went into the kitchen, took out a bag of rice, and poured it into the clay pot.

"Hua la la..." The rice poured into the clay pot made a crisp sound.

Yes, it's rice...

Li Wen's eyes lit up when he saw the rice that Orion took out. It was really white rice.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten rice. Most people here ate brown rice and coarse grains, and few people were willing to eat such fine rice. From the rice taken out by the hunters, Li Wen could initially judge that the hunters must have lived a good life before. Otherwise, ordinary people would not buy this kind of polished rice. Only wealthy people would be willing to eat polished rice.

"Uncle, that's enough. The three of us can't eat that much." Li Wen saw that Orion poured a little too much rice into the clay pot, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh, really, that's enough?" Orion stopped. He was not very good at cooking. The hunter usually eats barbecue. If he goes to town to sell his prey, he will eat at a small shop in the town and then come back. This is the first time he cooks by himself.

Orion once went to town and passed by a grain store. He suddenly remembered to buy rice. After buying it, he kept it in the kitchen without eating it. Just now the child asked him if he had rice at home, and then he remembered that there was a bag of rice in the kitchen.

"Uncle, let me do it." Li Wen said with a reserved look.

Although his cooking skills are not very good, he can still cook a meal. In his last life, he lived with his grandma, who taught him how to cook rice and pour water. Although he rarely had the opportunity to practice it, he probably still remembered some of it.

Orion handed the clay pot to him, and Li Wen took it, reached into the pot, took out some rice and put it back into the bag, which was estimated to be enough for the three of them.

Then wash the rice and add water, hang the clay pot on the shelf, and light the firewood underneath.

"Don't let it slip when you get back." Under Li Siya's distressed eyes, Li Wen broke the few eggs they had left yesterday into a bowl.

If he didn't destroy the evidence and go back, if his family asked him where the eggs came from, or if he spilled the beans, they had lost him chasing a pheasant yesterday. Li Wen wasn't afraid that his grandma would whip him. , he was just afraid that his grandma would beat Li Siya to death if she found out.

I'll go back and talk to Li Siya about her confession later, so don't let anything slip when I get back.

"Brother, I know." Li Siya listened to her brother's words and glanced at her brother. She was not stupid.

Chapter 18 Satisfaction

After beating the eggs and trying to scramble them, Li Wen discovered that there was no oil in the kitchen. How could he cook without oil? But seeing that the kitchen was covered with a layer of dust, I guess I knew Orion was someone who didn't usually cook.

"Uncle, there is no oil, we can't scramble the eggs. Can we steam the eggs? The egg custard is also delicious." Li Wen said to Orion. Thinking of the smooth and tender taste of egg custard, Li Wen licked his mouth. He hadn't eaten egg custard in a long time.

"You go ahead and do it." Orion had no objection and sat there watching the kid do it.

"Brother, what is egg custard?" Li Siya didn't know what egg custard was, so the little girl leaned over and asked her brother.

"You'll know later." Li Wen asked the little girl to wait, knowing that the little girl was hungry and greedy.

The fire under the pot is burning, and the eggs are steamed in the pot.

The remaining eggs from yesterday were all boiled in one pot, although Li Siya felt a little sorry for her eggs. But what the elder brother said was right. After they finished eating these eggs and went back, grandma would not know about them chasing the chickens. The little girl kept what her elder brother said in her heart.

Seeing that there was food, the little girl squatted in front of the stove and set a fire very actively.

It's dawn now, and the sun hasn't even risen yet. After the Spring Equinox, dawn gets earlier and earlier each day. Looking at the green hills not far away, Li Wen missed his mother-in-law a little. He wondered how his family was doing now that they had not gone back all night.

Since Orion promised to send them back last night, Li Wen believed that Orion would definitely send them back.

Li Wen was sitting next to Orion. He asked Orion, "Uncle, why are you here alone?"

Orion raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance, glanced at the little kid sitting next to him, and said, "I am Orion, there are mountains here. If there are mountains, you can hunt. Of course I am here."

What is the answer? Just because there are mountains here, the Orion is here? Li Wen found that there was nothing wrong with Orion's answer. But people didn't want to mention it, and Li Wen wasn't a very curious person, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After waiting for a while, the water in the pot boiled, the rice rolled inside, and the fragrant rice fragrance soon emitted.

When the rice porridge in the pot is ready, the steamed egg custard is also ready. Li Wen saw that the egg custard was steamed successfully. It would be better if it had chopped green onions. You could sprinkle some chopped green onions on top. But if you don't have chopped green onions, just add some salt. It would look pretty good.

"Uncle, here you go." Li Wen held a big bowl and gave it to Orion. Orion took it and glanced at the boy. Li Wen smiled at Orion with his teeth, and scooped out a bowl for Li Siya in a good mood, taking the last one for himself.

Holding the rice porridge in his hand, Li Wen was so moved that he almost shed tears. This was the first sip of rice porridge he took in this world. He took a sip of it religiously. It was so fragrant, just like the taste of rice. It was better than him. All the rice I have eaten in my past life tastes delicious.

He never knew that a bowl of rice porridge could make him so satisfied.

"Brother, it tastes delicious." Li Siya ate the egg custard her brother mentioned, and asked her brother, "Brother, is this egg custard?"

It was so tender, smooth and delicious.

"Yes, it's egg custard. Eat it slowly and be careful not to burn it." Li Wen glanced at Orion carefully and found that Orion was drinking porridge in large gulps, leaving most of the bowl empty. He secretly smiled in his heart. .

The big dog refused to follow their vegetarian diet and ate the meat and bones left over from last night. Li Siya saw the dog eating the meat bones and looked envious in his eyes.

Noticing the little girl's eyes, Li Wen shook his head.

It had been a long time since he had rice porridge. Li Wen drank two large bowls of porridge before putting down his bowl and chopsticks. His stomach was full and satisfied.

"Si Ya, don't eat anymore. If you eat too much, you'll get a stomachache again." Li Wen saw that Li Si Ya had eaten a lot, so he wouldn't let her eat anymore. The little girl had a stomachache last night. He was afraid that her stomach would not be able to bear it after eating too much.

Li Yatou has been hungry since she was a child. She can't stop eating when she sees it. She doesn't know how to eat in moderation. If she doesn't stop her, she will keep eating. It was also his fault last night. If he were to be tougher and not let the little girl eat, the little girl might not eat too much and it wouldn't cause such trouble later. It's a pity that the little girl vomited out all the meat she worked so hard to eat.

"Oh." Li Siya also remembered the stomachache last night, so she had to put down the bowl and chopsticks and stopped eating.

There wasn't much left in the pot, so Orion ate what was left in the pot.

After the two little kids had their stomachs full, they stared at Orion with four eyes without blinking.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." Orion put down his bowls and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, glanced at the two little kids squatting there waiting for him, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

After one night, Orion also realized that raising a baby was not as simple as he thought, and he completely gave up the idea of ​​raising two children. Besides, the two little ones had their parents, so he still had to send them back, otherwise the missing children would be anxious.

"Yes! Thank you, uncle." Li Wen responded with joy in his voice. When he stood up, he pulled Li Siya up smoothly, "Siya, uncle will take us home."

"Thank you, uncle." Li Si Ya followed her brother and said.

There was nothing valuable in his house. Orion closed the door of the house and took the two little kids out, followed by a big dog. He closed the door of the yard and went out with the two little kids. .

Chapter 19 Go home

The sun slowly rose from the mountains in the east and followed them all the way.

"Uncle, do you know how to get to Lijiacun?" Li Sanbao was in a very excited mood. He was babbling about everything. He didn't stop talking since he left the courtyard. They followed the Orion step by step. Don't forget to grab Li Siya's hand, don't lose your sister.

"I know." Orion looked up at the road ahead, identified some directions, and walked towards Lijia Village with the two little kids. He knew that there were several villages around here, one of which was called Lijiacun. Most of the people in the village were from families named Li.

Orion walked in front with his long legs, and the two children had difficulty keeping up with their short legs. The brother and sister held hands and supported each other.

Behind them were the large dogs that followed them all the way.

The hunter did not lead them through the reed field, but walked around the edge.

Orion, who is walking in front, will slow down and wait for the two children behind him to catch up. Orion is tall and has long legs, so he takes one step, and the two children with short legs behind him have to take two steps. Li Wen pulled Li Siya and followed Orion, half running and half walking. Knowing that he was going home, Li Siya also had a smile on his little face.

The two of them had never left the boundaries of Lijiacun until they were so old. Only now did Li Wen deeply understand what it meant to be a frog in a well. Beyond the boundaries of Lijiacun, it was a completely unfamiliar world to them. Orion led them around the reed field and looked up at the sun in the sky. Li Wen was roughly sure that this was the way back to their village.

I don't know how far they walked, until they both couldn't walk anymore. The sun was rising higher and higher as they chased them all the way. The hunter who was walking in front stopped and glanced at the little kid behind him who was following him without complaining about being tired. A smile flashed in Orion's eyes.

"Huh? Uncle, why don't you leave?" Li Wen, who was walking hard on two short legs, stopped and looked up. He was surprised to find that their village was not far away.

"I will send you here. You can walk the road ahead by yourself. You can go back." Orion stopped and had no intention of continuing to move forward. He lowered his head and glanced at the boy following him, touched Li Sanbao's head and said, "You two don't run around anymore. Not everyone is a good person like me. When you encounter bad people, you will I kidnapped you both and sold them for money."

"Well, we understand. Uncle, why don't you go to our house for a drink before you leave? We'll let Mom and Dad thank you if you send us back. "Li Wen raised his little head, looking at the hunter who looked like a big mountain, and invited.

"Uncle is not going, no need, you go back." A chance meeting was just a fate. Their fate ended here. Orion did not miss them any more and let the two children go back.

This child is well-behaved and smart, and Orion likes him in his heart.

"Uncle, Sanbao and Siya have gone back, thank you uncle." Seeing that Orion won't see them off, they will walk the road ahead on their own. Li Wen pulled Li Siya forward along the path. As he walked, he almost looked back at Orion, who was standing behind watching them, and the big dog following Orion. He waved to Orion and the big dog, and shouted, "Uncle, I'll go see you and the general next time."

Li Wen didn't know why Orion didn't follow them to the village, but since the other party didn't want to go, Li Wen didn't force it.

When he came back, he remembered how the road went, but it was just a little farther. When he grew older and his legs got longer, he could walk further. If he had the chance in the future, he could go see Orion and General Dog.

Orion waved to the little kid, but didn't take the little kid's words to heart.

The warm spring sunshine shines down, and the fields are full of working figures.

"It's Sanbao and Siya. Where did your children go?" People in the village saw the two children who had returned. Everyone knew that the children were missing in the village yesterday. Many people went out to help find them. Today The people from the Zao clan also went to the town to report to the officials, but no one expected that these two children would run back on their own.

When the two children came back, the adults hurriedly took the two children back to the village.

Someone was shouting from a distance, "The two children from the Gu family are back. Your Sanbao and Siya are back."

When her grandson disappeared, it was as if the sky had fallen. Mrs. Li sat on the small stool from time to time. Wiping away her tears, the old lady's eyes were red and swollen from crying. It was obvious that the disappearance of her grandson was a great blow to the old lady.

From yesterday to now, no one in the family has a smile on their face.

"What? Sanbao is back?" As soon as Li Wang heard this, she was shocked and stood up from the small stool.

Walking back all the way, Li Wen had already learned from his uncles and aunts that his family was looking for them. His father and mother were almost going crazy looking for him. The people in the clan were looking for them yesterday and only went back after dark, fearing that they would find him. When they disappear, everyone in the family becomes worried.

"Grandma, grandma." Li Wen shouted as soon as he stepped into the door of the house.

"It's Sanbao. It's our Sanbao who's back." When Mrs. Li saw that it was really her grandson who was back, she rushed over and hugged her grandson.

The old lady raised her hand and touched her grandson. It was really her grandson who was back. Mrs. Li hugged her grandson and cried with joy. While wiping her tears, she said, "It's really her grandson who is back. Grandma's sweet grandson, you You're back. Where did you go? Grandma thought you were taken away by wild beasts in the mountains.

"Grandma, Sanbao was not taken away by wild beasts. I'll bring Siya back with me. " "Li Wen saw his grandma crying. It was rare for him to see a strong old lady shed tears. The old lady was the one who made the decision in this family. The old lady had a strong temper. When had she ever shed tears?

Seeing the old lady crying because of him, he felt full of self-blame. Knowing that they didn't come back after a night, everyone at home thought they were missing and were looking for them everywhere.

Is Sanbao back?

Sun Yi, who was in the house, heard someone calling Sanbao outside and ran out of the house. The woman's thin body swayed and she held onto the door frame with one hand to steady herself. Her dull eyes saw the child who had returned. , her eyes suddenly straightened, and she locked her child tightly.

"Grandma." Li Wen raised his head from his grandma's arms and shouted when he saw Grandma standing under the eaves.

When she heard the child call her mother, it was really her Sambo who had returned.

"Sambo." Sun Yi stumbled as she ran forward. Li Wen got out of his grandmother's arms, ran towards his mother-in-law, and hugged his mother-in-law's legs. Sun Yi knelt down and looked at her child with tears in her eyes. She carefully looked at the child's face inch by inch and said, "Sambo, it's really grandma's son who is back. Isn't grandma dreaming?"

The woman is afraid that she is dreaming and is not real.

"Grandma, I'm not dreaming. It's the Three Treasures. It's Grandma's Three Treasures." Seeing his grandma's pale look, Li Wen knew that he had frightened his grandma. He hugged her neck with both hands, his face He pressed his mother's face close and shouted, "Mom, it's true, it's true that Sanbao is back."

Sun Yi blinked and big tears fell. She stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. Face, the woman's face changed, she grabbed the child and pushed it on her knees, slapped the child on the buttocks, and asked, "Ah, you child, tell me, where have you gone? Ah, Do you know that my father and mother are going crazy looking for you?"

Li Wen was spanked twice by his mother before he realized that his good-tempered mother had really beaten him.

Yes, he deserves to be beaten. If beating him can bring out the anger that his mother is holding in her heart, then let her mother beat him. Anyway, he is used to being beaten by his own mother.

"Pah, pah, pah—"

After being slapped on the buttocks, Li Wen closed his eyes and remained silent.

Li Siya was caught by her grandmother as soon as she entered the house. The little girl has been as scared as a mouse seeing a cat since she was a child. She even dared not cry even if her ears were twisted by her grandmother. Now seeing the eldest mother spanking her brother, the slap seemed to fall on her body. The little girl looked frightened, fearing that she would also be spanked.

Here Mrs. Li was teaching her little granddaughter a lesson. Before she finished teaching her little granddaughter, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law spanking her grandson. The old lady's face changed and she didn't even bother to teach her granddaughter a lesson. She hurriedly ran over to pull the eldest son. Wife, pull the grandson into her arms and prevent the eldest daughter-in-law from hitting her grandson again.

"Why are you beating the child? The child finally came back, how can you take it out on the child?"

"Don't you want to see Sanbao come back? What are you thinking about being a cunning woman? This is what our Li family is like A precious grandson, how could you, a mother-in-law, hit her child?" Mrs. Li was never willing to lay a finger on her grandson, but her eldest daughter-in-law dared to beat her sweet grandson in front of her. This grandma took it seriously.

"Grandma, don't be angry. Sanbao is disobedient. Grandma should teach Sanbao a lesson. It was Sanbao who ran around and made grandpa, grandma and grandma worried." Seeing that his grandma was angry because his mother beat him. , Li Wen hurriedly comforted his grandma.

Mrs. Li held her grandson in her arms and stared at her eldest daughter-in-law, fearing that the eldest daughter-in-law would hit her grandson again.

Seeing his grandma's guarded look, Li Wen felt dumbfounded. He comforted his grandma with a few words and took the initiative to go back to his grandma's place.

"Yeah, stop hitting the child. The child is still young. What do you know? It was so hard to get the child back." The people in the village who sent the child back also helped to persuade them not to hit the child. Who would be willing to hit the child at home? It's a boy's, everyone's boy treasures it. The two children were finally found, so they should be happy. There was no point in grabbing the children and beating them.

Seeing his mother-in-law crying, Li Wen reached out and hugged his mother-in-law's neck, comforting him, "If my mother-in-law doesn't cry, it's Sambo's fault. If you want to hit Sambo, you can feel better. Just hit Sambo. Sambo." It won't hurt."

He was thick-skinned and used to be beaten by Ms. Song in his previous life. When Ms. Song got angry, she would not be soft at all when she hit him with a ruler, and she would never cry while beating him. His mother-in-law was a good-tempered and soft-tempered person. This was the first time that his mother-in-law spanked him and he didn't even cry. His mother-in-law cried first.

"Silly child." Sun Yi hugged her child, crying and laughing at the same time, tears still falling.

Da Ya pushed Si Ya and told Si Ya to leave quickly.

Seeing that her grandma had no time to pay attention to her at the moment, Li Siya hurriedly rubbed her feet and slipped away, back to her grandma's room.

Aunt Li, who was in the room, saw her daughter coming back. She put the baby in her arms and sucked her milk back on the bed, pulled up her clothes, went over and pulled Li Siya over, and put her hand on Li Siya's little arm. He twisted up and asked, "Damn girl, where have you been running all night? How dare you come back?"

"Auntie, it hurts so much, please stop fighting." Li Siya shrank and begged for mercy. .

"Cry, cry, cry, shut up, don't cry." As she said this, Second Aunt Li pinched her daughter several times. She felt annoyed when she saw the little girl come back. If she went out and died outside, why would she come back? The thought of Li Sanbao coming back together made the woman's heart throb, wishing that the two little ones were out and never came back.

Painful tears welled up in Li Siya's eyes, but she didn't dare to fall.

The little girl didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking, let alone why her mother-in-law hit her. She would hide when her mother-in-law hit her, but she didn't dare to put it away and let her mother-in-law pinch her.

Chapter 20: Comfort [Asking for Zhizhi]

Seeing that the two children came back safe and sound, they still had work to do in the fields and everyone had to go to work, so everyone in the yard dispersed. Sun Yi followed her mother to send everyone back, and said with an apologetic tone, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for sending our children back. Look, I forgot to pour a bowl of water for everyone."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, we are from the same village, say Thank you. You don't need to drink the water. You should go back and spend time with the children. The children must be frightened." The woman didn't mind, so she waved and left.

When the two children disappeared, they all thought that the traffickers had abducted the children. Early in the morning, brother Li Gushan and his clan members went to the town's Yamen to report the matter. Now that the child is back, there is no need to report to the official. We have to quickly stop them from reporting to the official, lest the people in the yamen say that they reported to the official indiscriminately, which is a matter of trouble.

"Okay, I'll rush over right now. I have fast feet. Let's go faster and see if we can catch up with them in the valley." Li Dazhu told his mother-in-law. They also knew the seriousness of the matter and rushed to the town as soon as they finished speaking. .

Mrs. Li stood at the door and sent everyone off. She looked at Dazhu's walking back and hoped that Dazhu would move faster and rush to the town to stop her son from reporting to the government.

Seeing that the men in the family were rushing to town, the mother-in-law of Dazhu's family told Li Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not to worry, and then returned home with the two children. The two of them live close to each other, and they usually help each other with everything at home.

Everyone's child is their parents' cherished child, and everyone will be anxious if it goes missing. They are all parents, and everyone understands in their hearts.

Everyone in the courtyard dispersed, and Mrs. Li closed the courtyard door.

Back in the house, Li Wen sat obediently on a small stool. His mother-in-law poured him a bowl of water, and he drank half of the bowl in a slurp. Seeing the child drinking half a bowl of water in one gulp, Sun Yi combed the child's hair, looked at the child softly and said, "Sambo, must you be hungry? I'll get you some food. You sit here and wait." " Grandma

, I'm not hungry, so don't go and work. You can sit with Sanbao for a while. Sanbao misses Grandma very much." Li Wen saw that Grandma's face was not very good and her body was thin. It looked like he was about to fall down at any moment, so he hurriedly grabbed his mother-in-law and asked her to sit down and rest.

"Okay, grandma will sit with you for a while." Sun sat on the small stool, staring at the child with a pair of red and swollen eyes from crying, as if she was afraid that the child would disappear from her front. The disappearance of the child really frightened the woman.

"Auntie, why don't you go to bed and lie down. Your face doesn't look good. Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you ask a doctor to come over and take a look at you." Li Wen saw that his grandmother looked very bad. , said with some worry.

He couldn't help but blame himself in his heart. He came back now because he knew how much trouble his and Siya's absence had caused to the family and made his parents and everyone worry about them.

"Mom, cough, it's okay." Sun Yi covered her mouth and coughed, her words unconvincing.

The woman barely slept last night, couldn't eat or drink water. If her husband hadn't stopped her this morning, Sun Yi would have followed her husband to the town's Yamen to report to the police. She also wanted to look for the child in the town. If the traffickers abducted the child, maybe the child would still be in the town.

In order to find children, women are almost crazy.

"Mom." You didn't look like you were fine. Li Wen's eyes were worried. He pushed the remaining half of water in the bowl over and said, "Mom, drink some water to moisten your throat. "

I'm afraid I'm dreaming. Is it really you, Sanbao?" Sun Yi couldn't bear to look away from the child. She was afraid that she was dreaming.

"It's me, grandma, you touch it, it's Sambo. I'm sorry, grandma, I will never run around again, making you, daddy, grandma, and everyone worried." Li Wen took his mother's hand He went to touch his face and felt that the hand touching his face was cold. He looked up at his mother-in-law and frowned.

From the time he could remember, his mother-in-law's health had always been bad. Her hands and feet were cold all year round, and in winter she couldn't keep them warm no matter how hard she covered them.

He didn't see his father when he came back. Li Wen knew that his father and everyone went to the town's Yamen to report to the officials. I wonder if his father will give him a good beating when he comes back. The butt spanked by his mother-in-law just now is still aching even when he is sitting on the bench.

There were leftover porridge and steamed buns from the morning in the pot. They didn't eat much of what they made today. Sun Yi went to the kitchen to heat it up and bring it to the children. Li Wen wasn't actually very hungry. He ate at Orion's place before coming back. He pulled his mother and said, "Mom, please eat with me." "

Yes, I will accompany you." Sun Yi nodded. He nodded and sat down next to his son.

The brother and sister came back from outside together. Li Sanbao was loved by his grandmother and his mother. In comparison, Li Siya was like a pitiful little cabbage. Her father didn't care for her, and her mother didn't love her. When she came back, her mother didn't hug her and didn't say anything. When she caught her, she just pinched her hard. Now she was both Both arms are green.

Li Siya ran out from her grandma's place, ran to her brother, and took a peek outside.

"Si Ya, what are you sitting there hiding there? Come in." Li Wen saw Li Si Ya stretching her head to look into their room. He waved to the little girl to let her in. Li Siya walked in slowly and called out "Auntie."

Sun Yi asked the little girl to sit down, filled the little girl with a bowl of porridge, and stuffed a steamed bun into her hand.

Li Siya said "Thank you, aunt", held the bowl and started eating.

Sun Yi looked at the little girl and asked softly, "Siya, tell me honestly, where did you and Sanbao go yesterday?" Li Siya raised her head and glanced at her elder brother, receiving her brother's message. He looked at his eyes and said hesitantly, "Siya and Brother were herding cows, and then..."

"Aniang, didn't I tell you, Siya and I were herding cows, and we couldn't find our way back while playing. We happened to meet an Orion who took us in for one night. He sent us back early the next morning. If you don't believe me, ask Si Ya." Li Wen gave Si Ya a look and said to his mother-in-law.

Li Siya caught her brother's look, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, aunt, it's what brother said."

Li Siya kept her brother's words in mind and never said anything nonsense when she came back.

The little girl knows that in this family, apart from her two elder sisters, the best thing for her is the three treasures.

"Well, don't run around anymore, you know?" Sun Yi was dubious about her son's words, but thinking that her son was so well-behaved, the woman wouldn't doubt anything. No matter what, it's good that the two children are back.

"Auntie, we understand." Li Wen said.

The two children looked at each other, and Li Siya lowered her head to eat her food.

"Mom, you can eat some too." Li Wen put the two-bitten steamed bun into his mother's hand and let her eat. He knew that the food at home was prepared per head every day, and there were rarely any leftovers. These leftovers might be what his mother-in-law didn't eat, so he asked his mother to eat some quickly.

The old lady came over to take a look at her grandson. When she saw that the child was fine, she went back to the house to catch up on her sleep.

After he was full, Li Wen pestered his mother-in-law to sleep with him, and even took the initiative to crawl into his parents' big bed. Sun Yi had no choice but to lie down with her child.

Seeing that the child in her arms was asleep, the woman sighed softly, coughed twice, and looked at the child, reluctant to look away. After waiting for a long time, until his mother-in-law fell asleep, Li Wen opened his eyes and glanced at his mother-in-law, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

After a while, both mother and son in the room fell asleep.
