Seeing Zhiguo and Tiedan, Shanzi rushed over and hugged Zhiguo, with tears in his eyes, and he said incoherently: "Brother, Juan'er...... Sister Juan'er ......"

Hearing Juan'er's name, Zhiguo's heart rose to his throat, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Juan'er...... Shanzi, why do you think of Juan'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister Juan'er...... I seem to see Sister Juan'er......" Shanzi wiped a handful of tears and said.

"Where is it?" Zhiguo hurriedly pulled Shanzi out of the encirclement of the lively crowd, Tie Dan followed closely, the three of them searched the streets and streets for several laps, looking for all the way and shouting, the sun gradually set, they found nothing.

Juan'er has been hiding in a corner, she saw Shanzi reading a book at the bookstall at the beginning, she didn't believe her eyes, she looked at it, it was really Shanzi, she hurriedly walked behind him. She heard Shanzi calling her from behind, and quickly found a secluded place to hide.

"Mom, why are we hiding here?"

"The pillar is good, there are bad people on the street outside, hide here with your mother for a while. Don't keep quiet, or you won't be able to see your mother if you are taken away!" Juan'er hugged the child in her arms tightly, and from the moment she left home and the mountain village, she said to herself: From now on, Juan'er is dead!

She named herself Li Bailing, and she hoped that she would be as free as a lark from now on.

"Mom, we'...... To hide...... When? The pillar is hungry...... "...... the child can no longer bear it, and expresses his wishes in a not very fluent fairy tongue.

"Pillar good, give, mom will give you candy. Juan'er peeled off a fruit candy and put it in the pillar's mouth, and the pillar immediately quieted down and obediently snuggled into her mother's arms. Juan'er was tired of standing, and the arm holding the pillar was numb, so she simply sat down on a rock, put the pillar on her lap, and held it in her arms.

Juan'er heard the voices of Ge, Shanzi, and Tiedan, she had an impulse to rush over and recognize them, but she couldn't, otherwise, she would have been in vain in the past few years, she would lose everything she has now, she had suffered so much in vain, and she had to go back to the mountains to live a hard life, continue to suffer from the eyes of others, and live in other people's spitting stars.

Juan'er suppressed her temperament, deaf to the shouts coming from afar, she felt that if they couldn't find her, they would naturally leave, and they would forget about it in the future, and they would not look for her again, and over time, they would treat her as if she was really dead. Juan'er didn't want her father, she just wanted her mother and brother, and her brother was close at hand, but she couldn't recognize him, she was sad, and tears rolled down her cheeks. The pillar stretched out his immature little hand to wipe away his tears, and asked softly, "Mom, why are you ...... Crying?"

"Mom didn't cry, it was the dust that blinded her eyes...... I'll take the pillar home in a moment. Juan'er kissed the pillar lightly on the face.

It was getting dark, and Zhiguo's shouts faded with the glitz, and the streets became deserted. Since the beginning of autumn, the evening has been cold, and Juan'er hugged the sleeping pillar tightly and hurriedly walked towards home.

By the river, the lights shine through the two wooden houses, and the man in the house seems to have returned. Juan'er entered the door, the house was clean and tidy, as if it had just been cleaned, a sturdy man stepped forward, took the child in Juan'er's arms, and said with concern: "It's autumn, it's cold outside, don't come back so late in the future!"

"I'm hungry, I'm going to cook. Juan'er said.

"Don't be busy, I've already made the meal, in the kitchen, just bring it over. The man pulled Juan'er to sit down, went out of the house by himself, and after a while, the food was put on the table. Juan'er didn't feel good in her heart, the man in front of her was her husband He Yuanshan, he was desperately good to her, but she was in the camp and had a heart in Han. He Yuanshan is a carpenter, he goes out to work, sometimes he is busy for ten days and a half and does not go home, every time he comes back, he will buy a lot of food and use it back, and all the money he earns is handed over to Juan'er for safekeeping. He Yuanshan's parents died early, and he was left alone in the family.

At the beginning, Juan'er ran away from home late at night, for fear of alarming her father, she didn't dare to pack her things, but only brought the tortillas that her mother sent her to the cellar, and after running for a whole day, she was tired and hungry, fell to the ground, and fainted unconsciously. When she woke up, she found herself lying in the arms of a man who was watching her with concern. She pushed him away, struggling to get up, but she tilted and almost fell again, but the man hurriedly held her. said: "Your body is very weak, I fed you water just now, you should hurry up and eat something now, just rest for a while!"

The man helped her sit down on the side of the road, handed her steamed buns and water, and Juan'er took the food, and began to gobble it up, looking at the man in front of her with an alert gaze as she ate.

"Sister, don't look at me like this, I'm not a bad person, I'm a carpenter, I live in the county town, far away from here, I'm here to make furniture for others, the work is over, I'm going back." I saw you fall on the road, so I helped you up......"

Juan'er listened to the man while eating, this man looked like an honest and responsible person, his accent was completely different from that of the mountain people, and what he said was not like a lie. Juan'er was full of water and food, and she was in a lot of energy, and the man said, "Sister, you hurry home, I'm leaving." ”

"I don't have a home......," Juan'er said pitifully.

"What then, where do you want to go?" the man was at a loss.

"Big brother, can you take me to the county seat? My name is Bai Ling, Li Bai Ling...... I don't have a home, I don't have money, I want to go to the county town to beg for a living......," Juan'er pleaded in a low voice, looking at him with a blank eye. The man hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled Juan'er up from the ground, and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

Along the way, Juan'er inquired about the man's name He Yuanshan, and when she first heard this name, her heart trembled, He Yuanshan ...... Gu Yuanshan, this person's name was only one surname different from Shanzi, and she instantly felt that the man was much kinder. He Yuanshan lived alone, and when he saw that Juan'er was unfamiliar, he was very pitiful and took her in. Juan'er knew that she was pregnant, and she was afraid that things would be revealed over time, so she soon married He Yuanshan. He Yuanshan picked up a beautiful daughter-in-law, was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and naturally didn't say anything about her goodness.

Since then, Juan'er has been incognito and has lived a small life with He Yuanshan. He Yuanshan is a diligent man, he tidies up the house inside and out, and he holds his lark in the palm of his hand to take care of it. Although Juan'er didn't have He Yuanshan in her heart, she got along for a long time, and He Yuanshan became her dependence. Juan'er's belly was bulging day by day, she was afraid that the matter would be revealed, He Yuanshan disliked her, how did she know that He Yuanshan was very happy, he always thought that Juan'er was carrying his He Yuanshan's seed in her belly. Every time she saw He Yuanshan happily busy, Juan'er had mixed feelings in her heart, she felt that she couldn't stand him, and let him suffer such a big dumb loss, but what else could she do except plan it? So, Juan'er enjoyed his kindness to her with peace of mind, and after a long time, she even had the illusion that the child was He Yuanshan's.

When the child was born, He Yuanshan was making furniture for people in the field, Juan'er didn't tell him, it was half a year later when he came back, Juan'er lied to him that he was afraid of delaying his work, so he didn't inform him. She told him that the child was born two months prematurely, but fortunately, he was willing to eat and sleep later, and now he has grown white and fat.

He Yuanshan picked up the child and couldn't put it down, kissed one bite after another, he hugged Juan'er, and said softly: "Bailing, thank you, we finally have a son, in the future, I am willing to be a cow and a horse, and I want you to live a good life." ”

He Yuanshan named the child He Xuezhu, nicknamed Zhuzi. Juan'er looked at He Yuanshan and the child, guilt and happiness intertwined in her heart.
