Chapter 298: A Mixture of Surprise and Fear
Children's words are very trustworthy; it's just that sometimes they tend to blurt things out.
If you tell him it's a secret between the two of you, then he will really treat it as a secret.
It will be hidden deep in your heart and then completely forgotten. If you want them to remember it, it's easy; just say something key and they'll remember.
"I know you don't need to scare me like that. I'm not a three-year-old anymore, and I certainly won't forget what I promised others."
Hearing this, Lin Cai found it a bit funny. This child looked to be only eight or nine years old. Did he think he was much older?
She had forgotten that the boy had said last night that he was already thirteen and would be able to get married soon.
Lin Cai led the thirteen-year-old child to the dilapidated house where the carriage was kept. There was no one inside, only the carriage and two horses.
When Sanwazi saw the carriage, he dared not go inside.
Lin Cai tugged at him a couple of times but couldn't budge him. She turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
“There are horses there.”
"I saw."
When Sanwazi heard this, he looked at Lin Cai, and his silent gaze conveyed his message.
Lin Cai pulled the child inside: "If there are horses, there are horses. Does that mean I can't go in just because there are horses inside?"
"There are already horses here, which means they belong to someone else. Won't we get beaten up if we enter their territory like this?"
In Sanwazi's mind, if other people's things are there, then it is someone else's place.
If the other person goes in, they will either be kicked out or beaten.
There are already people here. If they can't get in now, they'll definitely be kicked out, and they might even get beaten up.
Seeing the child's worried expression, Lin Cai pulled him to Xiao Hong's side and said, "Don't worry, we can come here and we won't get beaten up."
"Even if you get hit, I will protect you. Can you rest assured now?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand to lift the carriage curtain, but before her hand even touched it, a hand reached out from inside.
Terrified, Sanwazi quickly pulled the person back: "Don't hit her, don't hit her, she didn't do it on purpose, she didn't do it on purpose..."
Before the other person could respond, he continued, "Let's leave now, let's get out of here now, don't hit her."
Lin Bao, who had just stepped out of the carriage, looked at his sister with a puzzled expression, then asked, "Where did you find her?"
"Why are you acting so silly?"
"I just found it outside. It must have been terrified by them and hasn't recovered yet."
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao's gaze towards the third child changed to "Wow, what a pitiful child!", but only for a moment before he turned to look at Lin Cai.
"Why did you pick it up? It's already so big, you can't possibly raise it to be tame. What if it turns out to be an ungrateful brat? That would be... aww..."
"You big gray bastard, why are you biting me? I was talking about an ingrate, not you. What the hell are you getting so worked up about? Are you an ingrate?"
Lin Bao turned and went into the carriage, where he vigorously rubbed Big Grey's fur. When he came out, his head was covered in fur.
He rubbed his leg. Luckily, that dead wolf, Big Gray, didn't bite him too hard, otherwise his leg would probably have been bitten off.
After coming out, he went to Lin Cai to complain: "Little sister, you should do something about that guy. He's getting more and more lawless."
He can't say a word now. If he utters anything even slightly related to wolves, Big Grey will hear him and bite him.
Although the bite wasn't hard, it still hurt when it hit my leg!
"If you don't provoke it, nothing will happen, right?"
Just as Lin Cai finished speaking, Big Gray inside the car let out a soft bark, but the sound was so quiet that only the people next to the car and those inside could hear it.
Sanwazi is now mentally impaired.
He could no longer hear what they were saying.
And that sound just now, if he wasn't mistaken, it should have been the howl of a wolf.
So there were wolves in this carriage, and this person was with the wolves, staying in the same carriage with them.
Seeing that the child was completely terrified, Lin Cai patted him and said, "Alright, it's time to snap out of it. Didn't you hear everything? Are you scared?"
Once he came to his senses, Sanwa looked back and forth between the brother and sister, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say, his eyes kept looking inside.
Lin Bao saw that Sanwazi was looking inside, so he simply lifted the curtain of the carriage. Immediately afterward, Sanwazi saw a gray tail run out.
Then another wolf head turned and looked at him, startling Sanwazi so much that he almost fell to the ground.
He gripped Lin Cai tightly: "It...it's so fierce! Will it eat people? What if it...it's here...?"
Before Sanwazi could finish speaking, he couldn't say anything more because he saw those wolf eyes staring intently at him.
Upon seeing this, Lin Cai glanced at Big Gray, who immediately turned its head back.
If they don't want it to look, they don't want it to look!
That two-legged creature was so small and thin, it wasn't good-looking at all.
Big Gray turned its head back, and Lin Cai then looked at Lin Bao: "Third Brother, I'll leave the person here with you for now. Keep a close eye on him. You can't release him unless I come."
"What's wrong? Is this skinny kid some kind of hot commodity?"
Lin Bao looked Sanwazi up and down, but couldn't see anything different about him.
However, after hearing what his younger sister said, he nodded. Anyway, he had plenty of children, so adding one more wouldn't make a difference.
Sanwazi was left behind. He originally wanted to go with them, but his request was not heard at all.
After Lin Cai left, Lin Bao picked her up and threw her into the carriage. The three children who had just been thrown in were so scared that they didn't dare to move.
When he saw the scene inside the carriage clearly, his feelings instantly changed.
After Lin Cai left, she returned to the place she had just been, but when she got there, there was nothing there anymore, not even the pot or the fire.
However, the chaos at the scene revealed exactly what had happened.
Unable to find anyone, Lin Cai returned to the main hall of the dilapidated temple. As soon as she entered, everyone looked over.
There aren't many people here now; most are elderly or children. The young people in their family have all gone out to find food.
After Lin Cai went in, they glanced at her, and when they saw that she wasn't one of their family members, they closed their eyes again.
