Is Chapter 296 something you can read?
She grew up in the countryside and didn't know any grand principles, but she knew that if you have a treasure, you should hide it.
And it must be hidden very well, so that no one can find it, otherwise you will lose not only the treasure, but also your life.
"If it were your family, wouldn't you want me to save them?"
"My family?" Gu Jiao'er found this a bit ridiculous: "Look at them, do they still seem like my family?"
The father is not like a father, the mother is not like a mother, and the brother is not like a brother. Can they still be considered family?
After she ran away that day, they probably didn't come looking for her!
If they were really family, would they let him run away without even looking for him?
As they were talking, the Gu family members also returned. They had been quietly staying in the Gu family village group the whole time, without making much of a presence.
Lin Cai spotted Li Guixiang at a glance, who was walking unsteadily and swaying slightly. If that woman had seen Gu Jiao'er with her before, she would definitely have pounced on her.
But now she didn't. Not only did she not rush over, but she also deliberately stayed far away, as if she was afraid that Gu Jiao'er would go back to them.
Perhaps noticing Lin Cai and Gu Jiao'er's gaze, Li Guixiang quickened her pace after entering from outside and soon disappeared from their sight.
The wind and snow were still falling outside, and they didn't stay outside for long before going inside. Just as they reached the door, Lin Cai suddenly glanced at something.
She seemed to see the child from last night.
"You go in first, I dropped something, I'll go look for it..."
After Lin Cai finished speaking, she left. Gu Jiao'er wanted to ask her if she wanted to come along, but before she could ask, she only saw her back.
On the other side, Lin Cai followed the direction she had just seen and soon spotted the child from last night.
The child was different now than last night. He was being held, his mouth was covered, and his eyes had no sparkle at all; they didn't look like a child's eyes at all.
They walked very fast, even when they were carrying someone.
Lin Cai followed them to the back of the dilapidated temple, and as soon as she got there, she heard a sound.
"Wang Ergou, why are you only arriving now? I'm starving!"
"They're here, they're here! What's the rush?"
"Aren't you in a hurry? Aren't you hungry? If you're so capable, then don't eat for a while. Damn it, you're so slow and indecisive when I ask you to do something, but why don't you eat less when it's time to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai was shocked, feeling as if she had been hit hard on the forehead with a hammer.
Eat? Did they find food? What are they going to eat?
Lin Cai couldn't believe it. She stood there, still in her daze, when suddenly she found herself holding a baseball bat.
This was taken out of the refrigerator. I originally bought it to keep out bad people, but I never expected it would be used here.
She walked over with her baseball bat. There were six people there: three men and two women, plus the child.
As soon as she arrived, they all saw two women cooking over a fire. In front of them was a large pot filled with snow, which looked like they were trying to boil water.
Someone saw her coming over, holding something strange in her hand, and immediately put the child aside.
"Oh my, isn't this the young lady who just arrived yesterday?"
"It's so cold outside, why did you come here, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"
"What are you doing?"
Lin Cai didn't answer them; she looked at the pot and asked coldly.
"Can't you tell, little sister?"
"Of course we're boiling water. The child is just too dirty, and we want to clean him up."
As the man spoke, he pulled the child behind him closer. The child's eyes were already red, and tears were falling, but he bit his lip and didn't say a word.
He saw people now and could have asked for help, but he didn't say a word. He even wanted Lin Cai to leave as soon as possible.
After the man finished speaking, he slapped the child hard: "Say something! Was what I just said right? You damn well better say something!"
"My uncle is right, they just want to give me a wash, you'd better leave now."
The child was very patient; even though he was crying, he still held back and let the others leave. Hearing the child's words, Lin Cai gripped the baseball bat in her hand tightly.
"Why are you leaving? I came here to find you. Didn't you promise me last night?"
"How come you've forgotten everything after just one night?"
The child was a little confused and didn't understand what Lin Cai meant at all.
They did meet last night, but it seems they didn't have any prior agreement.
Lin Cai didn't hear the child's reply, and continued, "How could you forget what you promised last night so quickly?"
"No wonder you agreed so readily last night; you knew you would forget."
After she finished speaking, she beckoned to the child: "Aren't you coming over here right now? Are you going back on your word?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ergou, who was holding the child, held on even tighter.
“Sister, we need to give Sanwa a bath. He's a boy, after all. We don't know if you…”
"Are you sure you want to bathe the child in this heavy snow?"
"It's fine if we just wash it, but it would be terrible if the child got sick afterward!"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately glared fiercely at Lin Cai. They couldn't let the meat that was already in their mouths slip away, or they would go hungry for several more days.
"Don't worry, sister, this child is from our family. My wife will definitely take care of him and won't let him get sick."
Wang Ergou held onto the child tightly and wouldn't let go, while urging Lin Cai to leave quickly.
Knowing what they were up to, Lin Cai had no intention of leaving at this point. Seeing that they were unwilling to let go of the child, she simply walked over.
“Since it’s for washing the baby, I can help. Don’t worry, I’m married and a mother of four, so I can definitely take care of the baby.”
She said it without changing her expression, but as she walked over, the men looked at her warily.
One of them couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to yell, "Are you deaf, woman? If I told you to leave, then leave! Why are you standing here? Do you think you can look after my child?"
"It's the dead of winter, so cold, and it's still snowing outside. We can do whatever we want. What's it to you? Why are you meddling in our business?"
