Early the next morning, the group went up the mountain.

There are more women than men, and the women are headed by Li Dafang, whose main task is to pick and dig wild vegetables, and by the way, help pick them after Zhu Dalang and Zhu Erlang find medicinal herbs; The rest of Zhang Yu, Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Ping'an, as well as Chen Song and the surprised Peach Blossom Zhaodi sisters, went to find a place for Caoya and them to live.

Li Erlin led people to stay at the foot of the mountain, those belongings, rice and grain, as well as the old, young, sick and disabled, must be taken care of, with Li Erlin here, everyone can rest assured.

According to Li Ping'an and Zhang Xiaoshan, who pointed out the direction in which Caoya left yesterday evening, Zhang Yu quickly found many traces, carefully distinguished, and followed some traces.

After more than half an hour, they stopped in front of a cave, and Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile as they looked at the weeds and branches with leaves hidden at the entrance of the cave.

Caoya, this kid is quite clever, and he knows how to hide, but the effect is average, at most he can only deceive a careless person, but if he looks at it twice, he can see the clue.

"Uncle Zhang, have you found a place?" Peach Blossom was anxious, and couldn't wait to ask, seeing Zhang Yu pointing in one direction and nodding, she then called out, "Caoya, Caoya......"

Zhao Di heard the eldest sister shouting, so she also shouted: "Second sister, I'm Zhao Di, second sister, where are you, second sister ......"

In the cave, the grass is in a daze in the dark. Every day they hid in the mountains, they had nothing to do but fear of a wild beast coming in suddenly, and only dared to go out at noon to fetch water and food.

Before she left the village, she always had to go to the mountains to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables, and often met Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Ping'an who went hunting, and occasionally she would go with her, and knew from Zhang Xiaoshan's mouth that morning and evening were the peak times for wild beasts to come out to forage for food and drink, and there was some other knowledge. Sometimes she happens to meet them and has a harvest, and she can still rub a bite of meat to eat.

This overheard knowledge played a very important role in the first months of her escape, so that she would not die violently on the mountain.

I won't make a fire in the cave, except for saving firewood, if I mainly make a fire in the cave, the smoke will be swirling, and I will choke on tears and lose my breath.

In fact, this kind of life cannot be said to be bad, except for the danger posed by possible wild beasts, they do not worry about eating or drinking, although they eat one meal a day, but they do not work much in a day, they talk in the cave, sleep in a daze, and do not feel hungry.

Next to Caoya, there were six children, Caoya did not speak, they did not dare to make a sound, they quietly leaned against the cave wall and looked at Caoya, although they could not see anything in the dark.

They felt that Sister Caoya was very strange after she came back last night, although Sister Caoya usually was in a daze, but she had never said a word like last night and today.

They didn't know what was going on, but their instincts told them that something must have happened to Sister Caoya, and they wanted to ask, but they didn't dare.

Suddenly, I heard someone calling, they were like frightened kittens, you hug me, I hug you and hug you into a ball. They didn't know each other before, but after Sister Cao Ya picked them up one by one, they developed into a relationship between each other and now they are now clinging to each other.

Caoya was also awakened by the sudden sound, relieved herself and listened carefully, hearing that it was the eldest sister and the younger sister calling her, her complexion changed and changed, and she was entangled for a while, but she still couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart, and moved towards the entrance of the cave with a roll.

Halfway through the climb, she remembered the six behind her, she stopped and said, "Don't be afraid, it's my eldest sister and younger sister who found it, I'll come back when I see them, I won't leave you alone." ”

When the six heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if there was no Sister Caoya in this barren mountain range, they didn't know what to do.

But then she was full of doubts, Sister Caoya still has a big sister and a little sister? They were separated before, and now they have found them? Why have you never heard Sister Caoya talk about it?

The weeds and branches were pushed away from the inside out, allowing only one person to poke out a head from the hole that went in and out, and after Peach Blossom and Zhao Di saw the appearance clearly, tears burst at once.

"Grass!"

"Second sister!"

They rushed up crying, Zhao Di knelt on the ground, pounced on the grass that had not yet crawled out of the upper body, and cried profusely.

Li Ping'an couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this picture, Caoya was like a monkey who was pressed on Wuzhi Mountain, and he was worried that the excited Zhaodi would push Caoya back into the hole.

Caoya was originally very excited, but when she was pressed by Zhao Di like this, she was in no good mood, and she couldn't cry or laugh and shouted loudly: "Zhao Di, you suppressed me, get up quickly, let me go out first!" ”

Still the peach blossom was stable, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly hugged Zhao Di away, Cao Ya didn't dare to delay, she quickly climbed out and stood up, the dirt on her clothes was gone, and she stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Di's ears, "I was almost crushed to death!" ”

Zhao Di hugged the grass tightly with her backhand, and cried: "Second sister, I miss you so much!" ”

When the second sister left home, she was already seven years old, she was sensible, she was not treated by her father and mother when she was a child, and she never got a trace of warmth from her father, especially when the little brother grew up, he always bullied her, and his father always helped the little brother bully her. Her father and mother and little brother died tragically, she was not sad, she was only worried that she had been protecting her and her second sister who had been protecting her without a trace.

Now that she has finally found her second sister, the pent-up emotions that have been accumulated for more than a year have been completely released, how can she not cry bitterly?

Peach Blossom also hugged Caoya and cried inhumanly, her choked voice was intermittent, "Caoya is right, I'm sorry, it's the eldest sister, the eldest sister failed to protect you, protect your ......"

Listening to the cry and words of the eldest sister and the younger sister, Caoya's emotions came up again, and her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, and she cried.

"I'll go around and see if I can catch any wild things." Zhang Yu found an excuse and walked away first.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an hurriedly followed.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't move, how could he walk away, his daughter-in-law who didn't pass through the door was here, and he wanted to stay and protect her.

Chen Song hesitated for a moment, but still stayed, and looked at the reunited sisters and cried for a while before he spoke: "Okay, okay, it's almost enough, there will be time for you to cry when you go back, and do the right thing first." ”

Peach Blossom remembered that this trip up the mountain was not only to find Caoya, but also to persuade Caoya to escape with them, so she quickly stopped crying and wiped her tears a few times, "Caoya, come with us, Brother Xiaoshan, they told Songbo and Second Uncle Li, you really can't give up the children you picked up, Second Uncle Li They said they could take them." ”

Cao Ya had long thought that they must have come to her to persuade her to go with them, but she didn't expect them to take the children she picked up, to be honest, it was impossible not to be moved, but when she thought that they would take them and give them a bite to eat, she couldn't convince herself to agree.
