Changping Village.

Yang Ruoqing and the eldest Sun family and Liu family accompanied Xiaoduo, persuading and training her. After Xiaoduo wiped away her tears for a while, her emotions were almost vented, and she gradually became calmer.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing brought her a handkerchief and water and asked her to wash her face, and then combed her messy hair casually.

Seeing her sister's haggard look, Yang Ruoqing felt very sad.

He couldn't bear to criticize her any more and said: "A couple who don't quarrel will not live long, and those who treat each other as guests are not a real couple."

"Don't take this matter too seriously, it's just a few words."

Xiang Shengnan, too, an old man, ran away in anger just because of these few words.

At this moment, she was concerned about his safety, so Yang Ruoqing didn't say anything wrong about him in front of Xiaoduo. When she found him safely, Yang Ruoqing still had to say something to him.

You were so spontaneous that you never thought that your wife and children would be worried if you didn't come back for the whole night.

Even my father-in-law was alarmed. Is there any problem that the young couple can't close the door and sit down to discuss and solve?

Xiaoduo is a woman, and her vision and outlook are not as broad as a man like you. She didn't even run away in anger. You said you ran away first when you were a man. How ridiculous is that?

Look for him first, and once you find him, you still have to talk to him!

"Mother, mother, I want to go to the pasture to play."

Jiaojiao ran out of the house, hugged Xiaoduo's legs and said softly.

The child had eaten prawns with tomato sauce before and the soup on his mouth had not been wiped off, which made him look a little funny.

Xiaoduo couldn't laugh, but blamed herself even more. If this hadn't happened at home, the children would have been dressed up.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Jiaojiao's mouth clean, and said, "Your father hasn't come back yet, so don't go anywhere. Just stay with your mother."

Her husband is gone, and Xiaoduo feels like she will go crazy if she can no longer see her child.

When Jiaojiao heard that Xiaoduo wouldn't let her play, she immediately became unhappy. She pursed her lips, and moisture quickly gathered in her big eyes.

Everyone couldn't bear to see it, so Yang Ruoqing called out to Lingling, who was following Jiaojiao closely, and asked her: "Lingling, do you also want to go to the pasture to play?"

Lingling looked over there, with a bit of longing in her eyes. She saw Xiao Duo with a stern face, lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.

Not daring to say anything is also a silent way of expressing one's wishes, and adults can see it.

Yang Ruoqing then said: "Lingling, please take Jiaojiao over there to play for a while. You are the sister. You have to keep an eye on her and not run too far. You have to be able to see us. Can you do that?"

Let the children see their adults, and the children will inevitably be within the sight of the adults.

Lingling wanted to nod, but hesitated and secretly looked at Xiaoduo.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Duo'er, just say something. If you don't express your position, neither child will dare to play."

Xiaoduo then nodded to Lingling and told her: "Don't run far away. Listen to your aunt. Play there for a while and then come back."

Lingling nodded like garlic, and the water vapor in Jiaojiao's eyes also receded, glowing brightly, she cheered and ran forward on her short legs.

Lingling also quickly followed up, following Jiaojiao step by step.

Looking at the cheerful backs of the two children, Mrs. Sun said with emotion: "Children are children. Even if something happens at home, they don't understand how they can still have so much fun."

Ms. Liu said: "Yes, when we were eating earlier, the two children looked like they were really hungry when they were choking. Now they are happy after eating and drinking. When they are happy, they want to play."

Yang Ruoqing also nodded, "It is children's nature to play. It is not good for us to hold them close. We should try not to let this anxiety affect the children, which will cause them to panic."

This sentence is meant for Xiaoduo.

Xiaoduo turned her face to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, turned around, and nodded gently, "What I'm looking forward to most now is that Sheng Nan will come back soon. I don't think about anything else."

As for going to his parents' house in the future, if he wants to talk, he can talk. If he doesn't want to talk, she will never say another word.

After a while, Luo Fengtang and Yang Huaming came back together.

Xiao Duo almost jumped up from the stool. The stool fell over with a thud behind her, and she didn't bother to help her. She rushed towards Luo Fengtang and the others.

"Fourth uncle, brother-in-law, how are you doing?"

Her voice was trembling, she was asking them, but her eyes kept looking behind them and looking around.

Luo Fengtang frowned and said, "I've searched the entire valley here, but there's nothing there."

Yang Huaming's physical strength was far inferior to that of Luo Fengtang, and he was panting from running. "Yongzhi and I also looked for the valley over there, but we didn't see it."

"Why not? Where has he gone? Where is he?"

The color on Xiaoduo's face immediately drained away, and his eyes lost focus for an instant. He staggered a few steps, and when he was supported by Yang Ruoqing who was following him, Xiaoduo's whole body slid down like mud.

"Duo'er, hold on, we can't find it here, you can still look for it elsewhere, don't be discouraged!"

Yang Ruoqing held Xiaoduo firmly while whispering anxious words in her ear.

Xiaoduo was helped into the house by Mrs. Da Sun to drink water and rest. Mrs. Liu dragged Yang Huaming to the pasture to inquire about the news. Dad Shengnan also limped to their side to listen.

Yang Ruoqing brought a bowl of water to Luo Fengtang, "Drink some water to moisten your throat first, and then come to the carriage to eat the food. I brought you three portions."

They are Yang Huaming, Yang Yongzhi, and Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang took a sip of water and said, "If you're not busy eating, you can ask your fourth uncle and your third brother to eat first. I'll go over there and have a look later."

Luo Fengtang raised his finger to a mountain not far away and said to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing glanced over there and frowned, "Go there? There...it's not possible, right?"

Over there is the extension of Jiangjiapo's old site, which is also deep in the mountains and old forests, and rarely visited.

It is also a temporary place for people who have died in vain in these ten miles and eight villages, such as Yang Hualin back then, and those who died in the plague, they are all stored there.

The descendants of the family will open the coffin and dig up the grave three years later, pick out the body and move it to another place for reburial.

All kinds of rumors about that valley are flying all over the sky, each one more terrifying than the last. Even the most daring hunters and woodcutter don't want to go there.

Now Luo Fengtang wants to go there to find Xiang Shengnan, but Yang Ruoqing doesn't think it's necessary.

"I asked Xiaoduo carefully before. The two of them had a few words last night over trivial matters."

"According to Katsuo's character, even if he is angry, he would not dare to go into that kind of place. He is timid."

"So you'd better not look over there, it will waste your time..."
