The days passed, and as time passed, Xiao Ju no longer looked forward to staring at the courtyard gate through the door of the hall every day. In addition to three meals a day, she sank into meditation every moment!

Because of her efforts day and night, the small beads the size of soybeans at three inches of her lower abdomen were already the size of pearls, and when the whole winter passed, the jujube trees in the yard sent out green leaf buds, Xiaoju not only grew nearly two centimeters taller, that is to say, she was already one meter three tall. And the five senses are so acute that they are incredibly sharp.

For example, she was sitting in the courtyard, and the movement of a small ant within 500 meters around her could hardly escape her ears. And as soon as she sank into meditation, anything around her nearly three hundred meters seemed to be right in front of her eyes. Coupled with that strength, although Xiao Ju didn't know what was going on, she was very happy with the abilities she had at this time, because it meant that she could protect herself in this turbulent era.

The weather is warm, and Xiaoju can go out of the house to walk around the courtyard. Looking at the little greenery on the jujube trees in the courtyard, Xiaoju decided to go to Huzhuang to have a look, why didn't Niang and Zhuang Zhuang come to look for her? She was mainly worried that those people in the Hu family would sell the two of them for food. And Hu Daring is a foolish person at all, don't say that Zhuang Zhuang is the person who inherits his ancestry, maybe his parents want to eat his meat, he may not hesitate to cut it off!

This kind of person has a very good reputation in the village, but the price paid for this kind of false name is not something that ordinary people can do and bear.

Since the beginning of spring this year, it has rained several times, Xiaoju heard the laughter outside the courtyard gradually came in, it seems that some passers-by, because of the continuous spring rain, I saw the hope of this year's harvest, so the mood also came out from last year's depression.

But Xiaoju knew very well that this was just a flower in the mirror, and it was empty after all. Her current idea is to hurry back to Huzhuang to have a look, and if she can find Niang and Zhuangzhuang, she must let them find a way to come out.

On this day, because the weather was getting warmer and warmer, Xiaoju took off the torn cotton jacket on her body, changed into the patched jackets, and then fried a large stack of egg cakes and wrapped them in a cloth and carried them on her back. Wearing the cloth shoes that have long been torn to expose the big toe, it can be regarded as fully armed.

Early in the morning, there were no pedestrians passing outside the courtyard, Xiaoju quickly walked out of the courtyard, locked the courtyard gate, and walked towards the county gate according to the route in his memory.

Out of the city gate, it may have been a few spring rains since the beginning of spring, so everywhere you can see, there are dots of greenery. Although the bark of the trees on the side of the road has been stripped away, the remaining branches still show a little bit of greenery. And everywhere on the wasteland, the grass has also sprouted, and it looks like a piece of life, as if it was a dream to be desolate everywhere caused by the drought of the year before and last year.

Xiao Ju followed the road in her memory and headed in the direction of Huzhuang. Along the way, I saw the green wheat seedlings on both sides of the road, and the farmers working in the wheat fields, with a hopeful smile on their faces.

In a few months, the wheat fields that are about to be harvested, and the wheat fields that carry the hopes of all the peasants, will be beaten by the wind and make no grains, and the wheat that is expected to be harvested in the second half of the year will all become the rations of the locusts overnight. How does Xiao Ju, who knows the inside story, feel hope for the false idyllic scenery in front of her?

Xiao Ju hurried towards Huzhuang, and finally arrived at Huzhuang when it was dark. Although it is dark everywhere, because Xiaoju has practiced since her own practice, her eyesight is also very good, and she can see the surrounding environment clearly at night.

Xiao Ju quietly returned to her former home in the dark, a few broken caves located on the mountainside. I don't know if there is anyone in the cave? Hu Daring is not there? Xiao Ju didn't dare to call out loud, so she had to hide on the edge of the cave and quietly close her eyes and meditate.

Through guò meditation, Xiao Ju clearly saw that several rooms in the cave were empty, and her heart was very uncomfortable! Along the way, she had an expectation in her heart, that is, her mother and Zhuang Zhuang had to stay at Hu Zhuang's home because of Hu Daring! There is no way to get out and go to the county seat to find her. Because she didn't believe that Hu Daring would really sell both her mother and Zhuang Zhuang in the end.

But the empty cave she saw at this time made Xiaoju just want to cry, where did her mother and Zhuang Zhuang go? Where should she go to find them? Could it be that God let her come to this world just to be an orphan?

Xiao Ju looked at these dilapidated and cold caves, and did not have any desire to enter at all. She slowly turned to a corner leeward of the mountain and dodged into the space.

This night, Xiaoju couldn't sleep at all! Some time ago, I stayed alone in the small courtyard of the county seat, because there was an expectation and thought, so the days passed. But at this time, in Xiaoju's heart, there is only one worst result, that is, Niang and Zhuang Zhuang were also sold by the Hu family for food.

Xiaoju's heart was at a loss at this time, and she didn't know what to do next. Go to find Niang and Zhuangzhuang? Where can I find it? Why don't you go to the so-called grandparents' house tomorrow to see this body? Let's see if you can find out where Niang and Zhuang Zhuang were sold, and then find a way to redeem them?

Because of the day's walking, this body is still too small, and it is already too tired to do it at this time. Therefore, Xiao Ju thought about it, and soon fell asleep because she was too tired.

When she woke up, it was already eight or nine o'clock the next morning, and after Xiaoju did some simple cleaning, she made some food in the kitchen of the space and went out of the small space.

When Xiao Ju was about to go down the mountain road, she accidentally looked at the home of her little friend Peach Blossom on the right, and found that someone was entering and leaving the front yard. She was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over there.

She soon came to her friend Peach Blossom's house, and through the broken courtyard wall, Xiao Ju found that it was nine-year-old Peach Blossom cleaning up a wild vegetable called Kuding Cai in the yard, with a kind of Cangsang on her face that did not belong to her age.

I haven't seen it for more than half a year, Peach Blossom has lost her weight to a human shape, and there is no flesh on her face at all, if it weren't for those big eyes that still reveal a lot of popularity, it's really hard to believe that this is a living person.

Xiao Ju looked at the peach blossoms through the dilapidated courtyard wall, and then from the peach blossoms she saw, she thought of her mother and Zhuangzhuang, and the tears couldn't help but flow.

"Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom!" Xiao Ju finally forced herself to endure the sadness in her heart and whispered towards the hole in the courtyard wall.

Peach Blossom heard Xiao Ju's cry, looked up, and found a hole in the courtyard wall, and Xiao Ju, who was trying to stretch her head towards the courtyard.

"Xiaoju, is that you? Why didn't your father see you when they came back last year? As soon as Peach Blossom saw that it was Xiao Ju, she immediately smiled and walked towards the place where Xiao Ju was. After all, he is only a nine-year-old child, and when he sees his friends, he still can't help but feel happy in his heart.

"Last year I was sold by my father for food, and now I have escaped, but I don't see anyone at home!" As soon as Xiao Ju heard Peach Blossom's words, her heart suddenly rose with anticipation, and she hurriedly said the excuse she had thought of a long time ago.

"My sister was also sold by my father and mother for food!" As soon as Peach Blossom heard Xiaoju's words, a little smile on her face disappeared suddenly.

"Don't be sad, your sister is older than me and smarter than me, maybe she will escape long ago on the way home!" Xiao Ju comforted.

"Oh yes!" Peach Blossom listened to Xiaoju's words, and her heart became happy, and a smile appeared on her dry face.

"Peach Blossom, where did my mother and Zhuang Zhuang go? Why don't I have anyone at home? Xiao Ju looked at Peach Blossom's face with hope.
