Chapter 310 Autumn Adventure
Tong Huaqiong said, "Since Man'er said there was crying in the pine forest, let's go and see what's going on."
Tong Huaqiong shouted to stop, got off the carriage, and picked up a stick in his hand.
"Mom, I'll go with you." Gu Taohua and Chen Sufen said in unison.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Taohua can go with me, Sufen, you and Yue'e can look after the injured young man."
Qin Qingyou wanted to go with them, but Tong Huaqiong asked him to stay where he was.
She was afraid that after Qin Qingyou left, the horse would be frightened and Chen Sufen, Maner and others would get hurt.
Tong Huaqiong told Qin Qingyou that if she and Taohua were in danger, he should not stay but take Chen Sufen, Maner and others away in the carriage first.
Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua walked towards the pine forest in the moonlight.
It's not that the mother and daughter didn't worry about the dangers in the pine forest, but they went there anyway. It's not because they were reckless, but because they knew that if there was any risk, only they could avoid it.
Because when they encounter danger, they can hide in the space at any time.
The whistling sound of the wind passed by her ears, and Tong Huaqiong felt a little cold.
"Grandma, there really is crying."
A soft child's voice startled Tong Huaqiong, and Man'er followed behind without her knowing.
"Why are you here?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
"I was afraid that you and aunt couldn't find where the crying was coming from, so I sneaked here." Maner said.
"The crying sound is in front." Maner pointed forward.
Tong Huaqiong listened carefully and indeed heard a faint cry in the wind.
Like a cat, like a child.
Tong Huaqiong held Maner's hand, and Gu Taohua followed behind, holding a stick in her hand and keeping an eye on the movements around them.
The further I walked, the more real the crying sounded.
Tong Huaqiong stood in the dense forest, but couldn't find the source of the crying.
Suddenly, Maner let go of Tong Huaqiong's hand and went into a patch of grass in front of Tong Huaqiong's left. Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua followed closely.
Maner pushed aside the grass and found a cave inside.
"The crying sound is here." Man'er said, "She was crying just now, why isn't she crying now?"
Before Tong Huaqiong could say anything, Man'er was already lying at the entrance of the cave, looking inside.
Under the clear moonlight, Maner met a pair of bright and moist eyes.
"who are you?"
"Were you crying just now?"
"Come out."
Maner began to shout into the cave.
He shouted and reached out to pull.
Soon, Maner grabbed a pair of small hands and pulled hard, pulling out a child.
A child was pulled out of the tree hole.
Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua were shocked.
"Were you crying just now?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
The child nodded.
Tong Huaqiong asked: "Is there anyone else inside?"
The child shook his head.
Well, I saved two people in one night.
It's simply an autumn adventure.
"Taohua...delicious pastries..." The child was excited when he saw Gu Taohua.
He had seen this sister beating people in the alley, and the cakes this sister sold were even more delicious than those in Shengjing.
Although this sister has a bad temper, she is a good person.
"Do you know Taohua?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
The child nodded and shook his head.
Gu Taohua frowned. She was completely unfamiliar with this child.
"It's not surprising that he knows me. Children from all over Yanguan Town will come to Taohua Dessert to buy cakes whenever they follow their parents to the market." Gu Taohua said.
What Gu Taohua said makes sense.
But the child's accent is obviously not that of a local.
It is also possible that the child came here with his parents to visit relatives or do business.
Tong Huaqiong asked the child: "Where are you from?"
The child does not speak.
Tong Huaqiong asked again: "Where are your parents? Who put you in the cave?"
The child shook his head.
Gu Taohua asked, "Could it be that a kidnapper abducted you here?"
No matter how we asked, the child just wouldn't speak.
Tong Huaqiong could only sigh, then took Maner and the child and walked towards the carriage.
The child suddenly stopped halfway and refused to move forward.
"My feet hurt and I can't walk."
Gu Taohua had to carry the child on her shoulders while cursing.
"Man'er, where did you go? I was scared to death." Chen Sufen found that Man'er was missing and was so scared that tears came out.
Qin Qingyou accompanied Chen Sufen to find Maner. Chen Sufen was relieved when she saw that Maner was in Tong Huaqiong's hands.
"Man'er is right. There is indeed someone crying in the woods." Tong Huaqiong pointed at the child on Gu Taohua's back and said, "We found a child."
As a mother, Chen Sufen felt soft-hearted when she saw the child's muddy face in the moonlight.
Who would abandon a child into the mountains in the middle of the night?
He has a very vicious heart.
Tong Huaqiong got into the carriage and took the child from Gu Taohua.
Looking at the injured young man lying in the carriage and the child in his arms, Tong Huaqiong felt depressed for a moment.
If things go wrong, this will cause trouble!
"Mom, why did you bring a child up here?" Liu Yue'e asked.
Tong Huaqiong said: "I don't know who lost this child, but I saw he was crying so pitifully, so I brought him here."
The child snuggled up to Man'er tightly, looked at the cakes in Yaozu's hand in the light of the lantern, and swallowed hard.
"Here are some pork floss dumplings. They're for you." Maner opened the food box, took out the pork floss dumplings and handed them to the child.
The child took it and stuffed it into his mouth ravenously.
"Slow down, there's more."
As Chen Sufen spoke, she gave the child some water, then took a handkerchief, dipped it in water and wiped the child's face clean.
A small face with red lips and white teeth appeared under the lantern.
"It's a girl." Yaozu said.
"You are the girl." The child's face turned red.
The child's voice attracted everyone's attention.
It turns out that such a beautiful child is actually a boy.
With the help of the lantern light, Tong Huaqiong took a close look at the little boy. He had delicate skin and shiny black hair. Although his clothes were torn, they were made of silk with golden threads.
At first glance, he is obviously a child raised with great care by a wealthy family.
In this day and age, some people abandon their daughters, but no one will abandon their sons.
Tong Huaqiong guessed that the boy's parents might have met with an accident.
In order to protect him, they stuffed him into a cave in the grass.
It’s just like how Hong’s parents protected Hong.
No wonder he didn’t say anything when I asked him where his parents went.
"Mom, the person on the ground just woke up, groaned twice, and then fainted again." Liu Yue'e said, pointing at the person on the blanket.
Tong Huaqiong suddenly had an idea. The material on the boy's body was very similar to that on the young man on the ground. Could it be that they were from the same family?
The older one is the elder brother and the younger one is the younger brother. When they met their enemy, the elder brother stuffed his younger brother into a cave to hide, and he himself led the enemy away and was hacked and shot.
Tong Huaqiong asked the boy in a gentle manner: "Do you know anyone on the ground?"
The child saw the person on the ground as soon as he came in.
He was having an ideological struggle in his mind.
My cousin said that if anyone asked him, he should say he didn’t know him.
But this family was not bad people. They gave him cakes and water, and bandaged his uncle's wounds.
My cousin had a head injury and a leg injury.
All to protect him.
There was a layer of mist in the boy's eyes and his lips were tightly pursed.
"He is your brother, right?" Tong Huaqiong asked confidently
The boy's expression betrayed him. In this case, they were brothers.
"It's my cousin."
