Chapter 285 Strange Scenes
Chapter 285 Strange Scenes
They didn't know the person named Cuijuan.
But they were all too familiar with Yang Huiyun's voice. Although she had sounded a little anxious and was panting, she had probably run there.
The two sisters stood there, trying to figure out what was going on.
Lin Lanshan lifted the child closer to her and asked, "Sister, why is my sister-in-law here?"
"Didn't you hear? She's helping that woman named Cuijuan find An'an."
"Oh yeah~ Speaking of which, didn't that vicious cousin who ran away call this kid An'an at the beginning? No wonder it sounded so familiar."
“Although they are both named An’an, are you sure the An’an you’re familiar with isn’t the one from our family?” Lin Chunyi glanced at her.
Lin Lanshan was rebuffed and widened her eyes to retort, "You're talking nonsense. Do you think I can't tell the difference between a person and a goose? Besides, the Cuijuan that my sister-in-law calls out is the same Liu Cuijuan that my wicked cousin was talking about."
"Hmm~ You guessed right." Lin Chunyi nodded in affirmation of her idea.
She raised her chin, looking smug, and said, "So the case is solved! The one I'm carrying on my back, and the one next to my sister-in-law, they must be mother and son!"
"Hmm~ Your little brain is working pretty fast today. We're also quite lucky; we ran into his mother as soon as we came down the mountain, so we don't have to walk any further."
Lin Yu'an, who was being carried on the back, had already suffered some bumps and scrapes on the mountain. He was then pushed into the water and caught a chill, and was also frightened by his cousin. Now he has a high fever and is unconscious.
He was enveloped in a patch of grass with a fresh, unfamiliar scent, and he seemed to hear someone calling his name, as well as his mother's name.
He tried to respond, but could only utter indistinct whispers: "Mother..."
"Don't shout nonsense, I'm not your mother." Lin Lanshan turned her head and glanced at him.
Then he said to his sister, "Now that we've decided, let's hurry and send it to his mother. She must be very worried."
"Yes, it would be best if it could be handed over directly to his mother." That way, they would feel more at ease.
Just as the two were about to run towards the direction of the two voices, they heard another set of footsteps. Unlike before, the sounds were more chaotic and disordered.
One, two, three...
Lin Lanshan's features scrunched up. "Why are there so many people, sis?! And it seems like they're all heading in our direction!"
Lin Chunyi's face was also changing with various expressions, not knowing what she should do now.
After running over and engaging with them in a two-way exchange, should you face a barrage of questions from a large group of people? Or should you stand still and wait for a large crowd to watch you like a monkey and interrogate you...?
While the two were still thinking, the group of people who had caught up with Liu Cuijuan were already panting and talking.
"Cuijuan, don't worry, we'll find it if we all search together."
"Yes, Sister Cuijuan, look at you dressed so lightly. Don't collapse first, or you'll be unable to take care of An'an in the future."
"Sister-in-law Cuijuan..."
"..."
The two sisters didn't know how to describe it. Anyway, all sorts of names and chattering voices reached their ears one after another.
Young, small, and old—they all have it.
Besides Yang Huiyun, even Aunt Zhang and Ahua were there!
The two women swallowed hard and couldn't help but take a few steps back. This...this was so crowded it was almost unbearable for their social anxiety!
They appeared to be standing blankly on the road, not moving at all.
In fact, they were frantically thinking about how to hand the child over to his mother while avoiding so many people!
then……
Supported by Yang Huiyun, Liu Cuijuan, her face pale, stumbled and ran to where the Lin Chunyi sisters had just been standing.
"An'an! It's my An'an!" As soon as she got closer, she was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she collapsed to the ground and cried out in a hoarse voice.
"What, what's going on?" Yang Huiyun was also startled.
What came into their view was
It was a child, An'an, lying flat on the ground with her eyes closed and not moving.
He was soaking wet and filthy, with traces of brown powder on his face. His hands were neatly placed on his abdomen, and above his abdomen was a…
A pheasant whose feet are bound by wild grass.
The scene was, to put it mildly, extremely bizarre!
Meanwhile, the two sisters who caused this scene were secretly watching from the hillside in the nearby woods, like thieves.
Lin Chunyi, who was the first to react and put Lin Yu'an directly on the ground, touched her nose a little guiltily after seeing Liu Cuijuan slumped on the ground.
"I don't know what I was thinking. When I heard a lot of people coming, I just thought I'd just leave them there."
But since the person was rescued and left here, it's not wrong for his mother to take him back herself, is it?
They didn't want to show their faces and then have to listen to a bunch of people chattering and asking all sorts of questions.
When it comes to feeling guilty, Lin Lanshan is definitely the one who comes out on top...
They had put the child down and walked several steps when Lin Lanshan suddenly stopped and turned back.
In her words, "If we just leave it here, it'll look like we stole the child and dumped it here. I placed his hand properly on my stomach so they'd know someone rescued the child but didn't want anyone to know who it was!"
She was just thinking how clever she had been!
As for pheasants
Hey~ It's just that she felt that the child deserved some credit for catching those two pheasants again today, since they rarely take that path down the mountain.
And this child has really had a rough day; he'll probably fall seriously ill when he gets home. Look how thin he is, wearing a short-length thin cotton coat that someone gave him in the dead of winter; his family is probably struggling financially.
Oh, and his mother seems to be sick too! That's why his cousin tricked him into going up the mountain to find medicinal herbs. He's so small, he can barely walk, but he's very filial…
Well, aside from witnessing what happened between her wicked cousin and her unlucky cousin, she had a pretty good time in the mountains today.
Let's go all the way and give one pheasant to this mother and child. They have plenty of pheasant meat anyway; it's good to occasionally do a small act of kindness—consider it accumulating good karma!
They could take it home and stew it to nourish their bodies, or sell it for some coins to buy medicine to treat their illnesses; that would be fine too.
Ultimately, this led to Lin Yu'an's mother and the group of people who came later witnessing this strange scene...
So Lin Lanshan said even more guiltily, "Although what you did was a bit outrageous, what I did seems even more outrageous, huh?"
"This isn't just outrageous, it's terrifying."
Lin Chunyi watched from afar as Liu Cuijuan got up from the ground, ran over, knelt down, brushed the pheasant off the child, and then tremblingly checked its breath.
"Hiss~ How could you have thought of putting a pheasant on someone's child's stomach! Couldn't you have just put it next to him?"
Let alone the child's mother, they, watching from such a distance, would have thought it was a pheasant that had come to life and was crawling on someone's stomach and eating the child's flesh...
No wonder Liu Cuijuan, who was on the verge of a breakdown while searching for her child, was so terrified!
