Chapter 698: Helpless

Tangyuan swallowed the pill, he didn't know what Zhuzi meant.

But he knew where the pocket was, because he had found it a few days ago.

It was hidden by his mother in a broken jar in the corner.

The jar was piled with things, otherwise it would not be found at all.

Although he didn't know what was in the bag, he knew it must be something very important.

Now when he heard Zhuzi say this, he immediately ran into the house, turned out the pocket in the jar, hung it around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.

When Goudaner just came out, Ladi had already run over from the backyard with two pairs of straw sandals.

Ladi was ten years old. When she went to the backyard just now, she suddenly remembered that she had left her brother alone in the front yard. If her brother ran out, she would be beaten to death by her father.

Then she hurried back and saw Goudaner and Zhuzi standing at the door waiting for her, and she felt relieved.

Ladi and Goudaner put on their straw sandals, carried their backpacks, and took their sickles to follow Zhuzi up the mountain.

No one in the village cares about this. The children have to go up the mountain to collect pig grass and chop firewood all day long.

This is what every child in every household must do.

After Zhuzi went up the mountain, he found an open area. Sure enough, he climbed up the tree with his hands and feet and took out two bird eggs from the bird's nest on the tree.

Ladi was excited. Two bird eggs are still eggs.

Zhuzi took out a few bird eggs from bird nests on other trees, and a total of 12 bird eggs were taken out.

Zhuzi got down from the tree, "Ladi, don't just stand there and watch. Go find firewood quickly. Let's make a fire to roast the bird eggs! Otherwise, how can we eat these bird eggs?"

Looking at the bird eggs in Zhuzi's arms, Ladi nodded greedily.

"Goudan! Come with me, let's go pick up firewood and come back to roast the bird eggs."

Goudan is now sitting under the tree in confusion, looking at Ladi with a confused face.

"What did you call me?"

Zhuzi secretly thought it was not good.

Silly Tangyuan should have some reaction now.

"Let him watch the eggs here, you go find firewood, I'll dig two more bird nests, maybe I can dig more, let's have a full meal today."

He said with a smile, holding up the bird eggs in his hand.

Ladi shook his head stubbornly, "No, my father said. I must watch Goudan, if Goudan gets into trouble, I won't be able to live."

Zhuzi was anxious, even at this point, he couldn't take him away.

But he couldn't force it, the two of them were only seven years old in total.

If Ladi was forced to shout, all the villagers in the village would chase him.

By then, let alone running, the two of them might have their legs broken.

Although his father looked kind, he had seen his father break his mother's leg.

It's okay if the leg is broken, he was afraid that he couldn't escape with Tangyuan.

He could only smile and say, "Well, Goudan, go and collect firewood with your sister."

Tangyuan looked at Baozi in confusion.

What was Baozi brother talking about, why did he call himself Goudaner, when did he change his name to Goudaner.

"Go quickly!"

Baozi pushed Tangyuaner and whispered to Tangyuan.

"Don't ask anything, don't say anything."

Tangyuan blinked his eyes, Baozi brother was always smarter than him, he knew that since Baozi brother said that, there must be a reason.

He immediately followed the strange little sister in front of him to collect firewood.

In fact, he had a lot of questions in his mind.

Just now he suddenly woke up, it seemed that everything around him became so strange.

This strange place, strange people around, except Baozi brother, look at himself and Baozi brother wearing such tattered clothes, especially the pair of straw sandals on his feet, and he can see it.

He has become dark and thin, and his originally round toes have become dry now.

Baozi brother has lost a lot of weight, if he hadn't played with Baozi brother all year round, he would not recognize that the person in front of him was Baozi brother.

There were so many questions in his mind, but he knew that this was not the time to ask them. He followed the little sister in front of him and picked up a lot of firewood.

The three of them lit the firewood.

Seeing Baozi bury the bird eggs under the branches, his stomach began to growl.

Tangyuan squatted next to Baozi.

Ladi looked at the hot bird eggs with longing in his heart.

Baozi felt guilty. He knew that if he took Tangyuan away, the little girl in front of him would definitely be beaten by her father when she returned.

But what could he do!

He couldn't put the two of them in this situation for the sake of the kindness in his heart and never leave.

Dad and Mom must be very worried.

They didn't know where the two of them were sent.

He just knew that Baozi followed the second aunt out that day. He heard Baozi say that the second aunt said to take Baozi to eat good food.

He remembered that his mother and father said that the second aunt was not a good person, and his parents didn't associate with the second aunt at all.

He still followed.

But he didn't remember what happened afterwards. He only remembered that he felt a pain in the back of his head and then fainted.

When he woke up again, he and Baozi had already arrived at this small mountain village.

Who would do such a wicked thing?

He knew that they must have met human traffickers.

Based on his experience, of course he had to behave himself and behave properly here, otherwise he would be beaten to death.

With his intelligence, it was easy for him to win over his adoptive father.

After all, he had a lot of experience and had met so many human traffickers. He was not living under the hands of one person.

How could he not know how to make his adoptive father relax his inner vigilance?

He was very free, but the problem was that Tangyuan was not free at all.

He had tried to say hello to Tangyuan, but he found that Tangyuan seemed to have no memory of him at all.

Every time he walked past the door, Tangyuan looked at him with a strange look, as if he didn't know him at all.

Baozi was secretly surprised.

Of course, he also saw that Tangyuan really regarded these parents as his own parents.

Tangyuan had adapted very well to the life of a dog egg. What did this mean? Tangyuan had changed a lot that he didn't know about.

That's why he gave Tangyuan the pill at the beginning, because he felt that Tangyuan's change must have a lot to do with them being sold here.

Tangyuan might have been fed some medicine by those people.

Now that Tangyuan is awake, the two brothers can finally escape.

"Hurry up, eat it while it's hot. If the bird eggs are cold, they won't taste good."

Baozi divided the twelve bird eggs into three parts, leaving only two for himself, giving five to Tangyuan and five to Ladi.

The only thing he could do to make up for his guilt was these bird eggs.

Ladi peeled the skin of the bird eggs and put the hot eggs into his mouth.

He was immediately attracted by the delicious taste. After eating five bird eggs, his stomach didn't feel full.
