Xiao Niannian and Xie Yunzhi relied on the flames the size of the beans in their hands, and walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, the wind could not be extinguished, and they were not afraid of water mist, so they could barely see the road under their feet.

In the daytime, they can't see the way.

But at night, they finally figured out the direction with the help of the North Star.

This mountain is on the north side of Taoli Village, so as long as they keep walking towards the south, they will definitely be able to go out and return to Taoli Village.

Xiao Niannian's eyes widened, for fear that he would fall asleep while walking.

She was so tired that her legs were about to become no longer her own, and she almost fell asleep and fell to the ground several times while walking.

In the mountains and forests at night, the mist was steaming, and their hair and shoes were wet.

When the wind blew, they shivered with cold.

But they didn't dare to stop for a moment, for fear that if they stopped, they would never be able to get out again.

The winter night was extremely cold, and the villagers who had been looking for most of the night were also exhausted and gradually gave up searching.

Every corner of Taoli Village, as well as the periphery of the mountains and forests, they have searched carefully, but they have not found the whereabouts of Xiao Fuxing.

Now there are only two possibilities left, either Xiao Fuxing was abducted and moved somewhere else, so they can't find it.

There is also a possibility that Xiao Fuxing ran into the depths of the mountains and forests, and at night, he couldn't go into the mountains to find someone.

So the villagers suggested waiting until dawn to continue looking.

And during the day, you can also go to the official and call the people from the yamen to look for it together.

"Niannian, Niannian, where are you? Come out soon, okay? Mother misses you so much, don't be naughty anymore, come out quickly! ”

Li Rulan's voice echoed in the mountains and forests, and after the call of most of the night, her voice became hoarse.

But she still insisted on shouting Xiao Niannian's name, for fear that if she stopped, Xiao Niannian would never be found again.

Her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was messy, and her spirit was always tense, and she didn't dare to slack off.

She looked very embarrassed, but she refused to go back to rest, and walked deep into the mountains with a lantern.

Let her find it again.

Look a little further and her daughter might be there.

She believes that her daughter must also want to return home now.

If she gives up like this, how sad her daughter will be.

"Rulan!"

Shen Zhengwen stopped her who was about to go deep into the mountains.

"It's too dark in this mountain, even if Nian Nian is not far from us, we can't see it, so let's go back first and wait for tomorrow dawn and we'll look for it again."

Li Rulan shook her head and had to move forward.

Shen Zhengwen said with a sad face: "Rulan, can you go back and rest first, aren't you afraid of scaring Niannian like this now?" ”

"How sad it would be for Nian Nian to know that you didn't care about your body so much to find her."

"And did you forget? Our family is a lucky star, and she will definitely come back safely. ”

"You've tormented yourself, and when she comes back, how are you going to take care of her?"

Li Rulan finally stopped and touched her tear-stained face with her hand.

"I, am I scary? Does it scare Niannian? ”

"Yes, you don't look good now, obedient, let's go back first. And don't worry, I promise you, even if I look for the ends of the earth, I must find Niannian. ”

Shen Zhengwen's expression was solemn, this sentence was said to Li Rulan, and it was also a promise to himself.

He won't let Xiao Niannian disappear like this, his daughter, he desperately wants to find her.

Under Shen Zhengwen's persuasion, Li Rulan was finally willing to go back to rest first.

Huzi stayed at home with his two younger brothers, and he hadn't slept at this time.

Even though they were so sleepy that they dozed off like chickens pecking rice, they still waited in the house.

They were waiting for their sister to come back.

I didn't see my father and mother come back with my sister, they wouldn't go to sleep.

"Squeak-" The door opened.

"Sister, is my sister back?"

The three little ones suddenly fell asleep, and all stood up and looked excitedly at the door.

When they saw that only their father and mother had returned, their expressions became very disappointed.

"Daddy, where's my sister? Why haven't you found my sister yet? ”

"Yes, yes, I want my sister, where did my sister go, why hasn't she come back yet."

Hearing them say this, Li Rulan's tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, and she blamed herself in her heart.

It's all her fault, it's all her fault.

If she had kept a closer eye on Nian, this wouldn't have happened.

She shouldn't be so relieved to let Niannian run around, she should follow inseparably.

Seeing that the mother was crying, several children stopped mentioning their sister's affairs.

But they didn't say anything, and the worried little expressions on their faces still betrayed their thoughts.

Shen Zhengwen didn't say a word and went to fetch water to scrub Li Rulan and let her lie on the bed to rest.

But in this case, where did she go to bed early?

As soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to see Xiao Niannian crying alone in the mountains, and then she was eaten by a fierce beast, which frightened her to open her eyes immediately.

Several children were also driven back to the room by Shen Zhengwen to sleep.

Huzi looked at his bed and began to worry again.

"But Daddy, you're all back, why haven't the eldest brother and second brother come back yet?"

Only then did Shen Zhengwen and Li Rulan remember that their eldest son and second son had not come back yet.

They were about to get dressed and get out of bed to look for them, when there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Tiezi who had returned.

"Where's the plug? Aren't you with him? Why didn't he come back? ”

Tiezi's expression was a little unnatural, and he said: "That, the second brother said that he was too tired to walk, so he rested at his grandfather's house in the north." ”

Shen Zhengwen and Li Rulan were full of worries and didn't notice the unnaturalness of Tiezi.

They didn't have the slightest suspicion, and thought that the bolt really went to Lizheng's house, and then asked Tiezi to hurry up and rest.

Tiezi lay on the bed, his heart pounding like a drum.

In fact, the second brother didn't go to Lizheng's house to rest, but went to the deeper mountains to find his sister.

He originally wanted to go with him, but the second brother told him that his father and mother would be worried if they didn't go back.

There was no way, so he had to come back first.

But he still couldn't help worrying in his heart, for fear that the second brother would not come back.

No, no, Tiezi comforted himself in his heart.

The second brother is very smart, and he can make marks on the road, so he will definitely be fine.

***

Xie Yunzhi was worried that he would be separated from Xiao Niannian, so he kept holding Xiao Niannian's hand tightly and walking.

But as he walked, he felt that the little hands in his palms were getting softer and softer, as if he had no bones.

"Yunzhi pot, I'm so sleepy, I can't hold on......"

If it were normal, Xiao Niannian would not be tired to this extent.

But today, she also used several spells, and the spiritual power in her body was exhausted.

Without the blessing of spiritual power, she is no different from an ordinary one-year-old child.

No, it's still a little different, and now she feels that she is more tired and harder than ordinary children.

Using spiritual power is very tiring, her body has long been overdrawn, and it is not easy to hold on until now.

Her eyelids began to fight wildly, and she couldn't hold it anymore.

With a "poof", he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
