A childish and sad cry came from not far away.
When Jiang Yunjin heard the cry, he looked up and saw the Jiang family boys gathered in front of the bamboo basket, all with red eyes. The one who cried the most was Jiang Qibai, the fourth child of the Jiang family.
The little guy had tears on his rosy face, and he was pointing at the bamboo basket with tears. Before he could say a word, big tears fell from his eyes, and he cried even harder.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but frown, as if she didn't understand why the other party started crying.
When she stepped forward and her eyes fell at the feet of Xiaosi Jiang Qibai, her face suddenly turned pale.
There were scattered chicken feathers under the bamboo basket, and some of the white fluffs were stained with a few drops of blood.
But inside the bamboo basket, there was no sight of the group of chickens that she had put in yesterday.
Seeing this scene, she understood why Jiang Xiaosi was crying so sadly.
The few drops of blood stained on the fluff have long since solidified, so the chick must have been lost for a long time.
I am afraid…
She already knew it.
Jiang Xiaosi cried hard, but was finally comforted by his elder brother Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qian and others packed up the bamboo basket and buried the blood-stained chicken feathers under the shade of a tree.
Soon the Jiang family boy's attention was attracted by the wild vegetables beside the tree, and he rushed to dig up the wild vegetables.
Jiang Yunjin was also pulled by several people to dig wild vegetables together, but she was absent-minded and secretly observed Mrs. Xu.
Looking at Mrs. Xu sitting carelessly in the shade of a tree, and remembering that she had burned her rice porridge early in the morning, and did not lick her face to ask for food from Jiang's house, she felt surprisingly calm.
Could it be that it's not her?
Jiang Yunjin was a little suspicious, but felt that the Xu family was the only one in the Jiang family who could do such a thing.
She raised her hand and touched her neck, as if she could still feel the burning sensation under her fingertips.
After walking for a while, I looked up at Xu's location again and found that there was nothing under the shade of the tree.
She seemed shocked, and stood up immediately, looking back and forth, but Xu was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Yunjin stood up and made too much noise, alarming Jiang Qian who was squatting aside. There was a trace of doubt on his young face, and he stood up and followed the little sister's gaze and looked around, as if he didn't know what the little sister was looking for.
He raised his hand and scratched his head, wondering: "What's wrong with little sister? Could it be that she wants to find her mother?" The little sister is so young, she must be inseparable from her mother.
"Brother, I want to go to the toilet." Jiang Yunjin blushed, covered her belly with her little hands, and couldn't help but bounce on the spot, looking really anxious.
Seeing this, Jiang Qi'an quickly pointed to a bush so that the little girl could go to the toilet.
Jiang Yunjin, on the other hand, made an excuse to escape and quietly walked to the third room.
Last night, Mrs. Xu used the excuse that her family had separated, and immediately asked Jiang Laosan to pull the car aside in an attempt to draw a clear line with the Jiang family.
In just a few steps, she hid, fearing that others would see her actions. When they came to the resting place of Sanfang, they didn't see Mrs. Xu as expected. They only saw Jiang Laosan wrapped in a quilt, eyes closed, resting next to the flatbed truck.
There was no trace of Xu here, so she looked around carefully.
Sure enough, not far from the resting place of the three bedrooms, she watched Mrs. Xu cooking something secretly, white smoke rising, mixed with the pungent smell of firewood and an alluring smell of chicken soup.
Chicken soup flavor?
Jiang Yunjin was afraid that he smelled it wrong, so he sniffed hard. There was indeed a strong smell of chicken soup in the air.
She instantly turned cold, and looked at Xu with a bit of anger in her eyes.
Yesterday I was looking for food, but there was only one pheasant, four or five rabbits, and a few chicks.
And that pheasant was eaten last night. Where is the pheasant now?
I'm afraid that Mrs. Xu ate those still immature chickens.
When he thought of this, Jiang Yunjin couldn't help but feel angry. He used the space to become invisible and quietly touched the firewood. While Xu was collecting firewood, he took out a few handfuls of coarse salt particles from the space and put them all into the small firewood. Inside the pot.
As soon as it was done, Mrs. Xu sneaked back with a pile of firewood in her arms, looking like she was a guilty thief.
Jiang Yunjin saw this and snorted coldly, isn't this a sign of guilty conscience?
Seeing that Mrs. Xu didn't notice anything strange, she quietly left the place.
Little did they know, the aroma of chicken soup was drifting farther and farther away.
As soon as Jiang Yunjin returned to the Jiang family's resting place, she saw her elder brother Jiang Qian coming in a hurry. After seeing that she was safe and sound, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took her to dig wild vegetables again.
The wild vegetables were growing very languidly, and it took a long time to pick only a thin layer.
It wasn't until Sister-in-law Jiang called for someone that they reluctantly returned to the resting place.
When Jiang Yunjin came back, Sister-in-law Jiang held her in her arms, carefully wiping away some beads of sweat on her forehead, and looked at her with pity in her eyes.
"Look at how sweaty you are from playing. Take a rest and mother will prepare something delicious for you later."
As Sister-in-law Jiang said, she coaxed the little girl to sleep in her arms. As her sleepiness gradually deepened, the little girl blushed and slowly fell asleep.
When Jiang Yunjin woke up, it was getting dark. The Jiang family had already set up a fire, set up an iron pot, and were cooking.
When Jiang Yunjin woke up, he stood up and moved his little body. He felt the autumn wind blowing on his face and couldn't help but shrink his neck.
She walked with her short legs to look for Sister Jiang. After looking around, she saw Sister Jiang and Second Sister Jiang busy. She didn't want to be disturbed, so she thought about taking a sip of water.
Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly stopped.
She looked around again and realized that there was no trace of Xu. Not only that, even Jiang Laosan was also missing.
Just when she was having doubts, an urgent cry came from her ears.
"Mom! Oh no, Mrs. Xu is missing!"
Before he finished speaking, a tall figure ran out of the darkness. The man stumbled and took a closer look in the light of the fire, and found that the person who came was actually Jiang Laosan.
When the Jiang family members heard Jiang Laosan's voice, they all put down their work and gathered around hurriedly.
Old Mrs. Jiang was supported by Jiang Lao Er, with a hint of impatience on her cold face, looking at Jiang Lao San with eyes full of disappointment, and said coldly: "Your wife is missing, you just go look for her, why are you making such a fuss? "
The separation of the family broke the old lady's heart. Seeing Jiang Laosan unable to hold up the wall, she felt even more disappointed.
Hearing this, Jiang Laosan shrank his neck and carefully raised his eyes to look at my mother. However, he was afraid of the cold light in her eyes, so he quickly lowered his head and said pitifully: "Mom, Mrs. Xu has been missing for a day. I have searched everywhere. I haven't seen you since, so I can't come here to look for you."
Mrs. Jiang was about to speak, but Boss Jiang spoke first: "Mom, why don't you let me take the fourth and fifth sons to search for her."
Old Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to nod and agree to what the boss said.
Boss Jiang didn't waste any time, so he immediately took the fourth and fifth elders with him and started searching carefully with the elder San Santou.
As soon as they left, Sister-in-law Jiang wanted to talk to her elder sister-in-law about the Xu family, but unexpectedly she heard a rustling sound in the distance.
As soon as this sound came out, the Jiang family immediately became alert, and even Jiang Laoer picked up a wooden stick.
"They still have meat! Lots of meat!"
Suddenly a sharp voice sounded, and as the voice fell, a group of ragged refugees suddenly sprang out from the bushes, and all of them stared at everyone in the Jiang family with green eyes, looking at the Jiang family as if they were prey.
As the refugees emerged, an unexpected figure followed.
