The little girl who was rolling down like a ball stopped on the snowdrift. Her hat was covered with snow. If it weren't for the rope and gloves hanging together, the hat would have been swept away.
And her body, which was dizzy all the way and rolled so hard that her head hurt, she was also extremely uncomfortable and told her that she needed to return home quickly to recuperate. But when Lin Xiangrong sat up, she found that she no longer knew where she had rolled.
She followed the mark all the way to find it, only to find that it had been snowing heavily for a long time. Although the mark remained, it was covered a lot by the snow. She was worried that over time, the mark would disappear and she would not be able to return home smoothly. He speeded up and limped upwards with a puffed-up face.
Don't let her know who pushed it!
Lin Xiangrong was so angry that her teeth were itching. She had already guessed that the person who pushed her might be the person who had been following her, and that person must have a grudge against her. Thinking of this, the range of her search for enemies was suddenly reduced by a large circle.
A figure appeared in her mind. Lin Xiangrong frowned slightly and quickly suppressed the figure. Now she just wanted to go back quickly, but the basket behind her was crushed and the pheasant was picked up by her.
It was a good thing that nothing was lost, but the bad thing was that Lin Xiangrong fell hard. She felt that her fragile body must have soft tissue injuries, either in her lower back or thighs, otherwise her muscles would twitch when she couldn't walk. It hurts.
"Damn it."
Lin Xiangrong cursed several times. She looked up at the sky and estimated the time. It was probably only around nine o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, she came out early, otherwise, if she had come out late, it would be dark after a while, and all the wild wolves in the mountains would come out. How would she get home?
Just when Lin Xiangrong was glad that she came out early and would not encounter a pack of wolves, she heard a "whoop" sound, and her face suddenly changed in shock.
Where did the wolf come from?
Lin Xiangrong's expression changed drastically, and she quickly found a place to hide with the pheasant. She covered her mouth and looked out carefully. She vaguely heard some footsteps, passing in front of her very lightly and quickly, and then shrank back.
They seemed to be wolves, they seemed to be nearby, maybe two or three of them.
However, even if there were only two or three wolves, she did not dare to act rashly. She could only carefully huddle under a very hidden slope and cover herself with hanging freeze-dried vines.
Damn it.
She remembered the person who pushed her down!
"Ouch——"
Another roar sounded, and Lin Xiangrong shivered and shrank back inside.
The wolves must leave quickly. If they don't leave, how will they escape?
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature begins to warm up a little. But as soon as the snow stops, the temperature will quickly drop to freezing point, and then it will be real hell.
Her heart was beating faster and faster. As she rushed down the mountain, Liu Meng bit her lip so hard that it broke. She went down the mountain out of breath, lowered her head and ran hard, but accidentally knocked over someone.
"Ouch."
Han Nian almost splashed Liu Meng with water. She frowned and protected the bucket, and asked angrily: "Why are you in such a hurry? You almost knocked over my bucket."
"None of your business."
Liu Mengren didn't even look carefully, turned around and ran away.
"Um?"
Han Nian was sensitive and attentive. She carefully recalled what Liu Meng was holding. It seemed to be Lin Xiangrong's basket. She had seen the basket made by him. The technique was different from ordinary baskets, and there was a small small mark on the corner. knot.
According to Lin Xiangrong, it was a way out for himself so that he could recognize the lost basket at a glance.
But why did Lin Xiangrong's basket go to Liu Meng?
She thought about Liu Meng's expression, flustered and excited. The place she came from seemed to be at the back of the mountain. That place was where Lin Xiangrong often went with brother Xie.
Could it be that Liu Meng went to steal Lin Xiangrong's basket?
Han Nian sent the bucket back, and after speaking with the healthy Widow Han, he ran to the door of Lu Xiao's house and knocked on the door. He said to Lu Xiao who opened the door: "Liu Meng came down from the road on the mountain, holding Rong Rong in his hand. Did she go and steal the basket we made? Brother, please take a look."
"Okay." Lu Xiao nodded, went back to the house and spoke to Ruan Qing. After closing the door and changing clothes, he ignored Lu Cheng who poked his head out when he heard the noise. He followed the path up the mountain and soon Come to the last location where the cage was placed.
empty.
And there were two sets of footsteps, and the basket was obviously taken away and then went to another place.
Lu Xiao followed the footprints and walked over. He didn't see the basket that was taken away. Instead, he saw what seemed to be a trap where someone rolled down. The trap was already covered with heavy snow. He squatted down and estimated the height of the person who rolled down. , his expression changed slightly.
Could it be that it was Lin Xiangrong who rolled down?
He kept scanning the ground, and through Han Nian's words and the conflicts between Liu Meng and Lin Xiangrong, he was able to figure out what happened here.
He immediately ran down with a headache and anxiety on his face, followed the mark all the way to the bottom, and could not find Lin Xiangrong. He was relieved to see no one.
The absence of anyone meant that Lin Xiangrong left on his own sober.
But I don’t know exactly where I went.
He followed the footprints on the ground that were covered with heavy snow, but found no one. He left obvious traces nearby, shouting Lin Xiangrong's name while looking for the person.
After shouting for a while, no one was seen, and after making another mark, he rushed back to the village and knocked on the door of Lao Lin's family.
"Pfft - what did you say?!"
Lin Yuannan almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
After coughing several times, he asked several times, and after confirming that the person who went down was his daughter, he quickly mobilized his family members to go up the mountain to look for her.
This is winter!
All the wolves in the mountains were forced out and wandered around. What would you do if you encountered a wolf?
His daughter is only four and a half years old and only five years old during the New Year. Why should she resist?
Lin Yuannan quickly went up the mountain with a hoe and two pieces of clothes, followed by Zhou Zhaodi and Sanfu who looked anxious, and even Lin Yuandong and Lin Yuanxi who went to help his wife's family followed him up the mountain.
If there weren't children at home who needed to be taken care of, Wang Cuilan would have wanted Fang Hongying to go up too, but she was old and had to inform the village chief that a child was missing at home. Zhang Miao was weak and not well, and Lin Lili was about to give birth, so she could only let Fang Hongying go. Stay home and watch.
Lin Dawei, on the other hand, went to the clan elders' home early in the morning to visit relatives and pay New Year greetings. He had no idea that the most precious granddaughter in the family was missing.
"Little sister!"
Sanfu and Lu Xiao went to the vicinity of the mark and called for someone. He was trembling by the cold wind: "It's so cold. I don't know where the girl is hiding. It's so cold today. Will she be frozen?" broken?"
Thinking of this, he started running anxiously again.
"Don't worry, it's slippery here, be careful."
Lu Xiao listened to the commotion around him, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. Worried about wolves, he even held a torch in his hand.
