C3 A Little Buddy

Since they lived at the foot of the mountain, Hsing Nuannuan's grandparents and aunts had seen them take their things away. However, since they were locked up in their house, they could only watch them with their eyes reddened with anger, unable to help their friends.

"Goudan, Xiao Hua, Xiaoju, Xiao Shitou, you guys are here." Hsing Nuannuan's memories of these four friends were still warm.

"Nuannuan, this is the buns that I secretly hid."

"Nuannuan, this is the sugar that I hid."

"Nuannuan, I want to give you this peanut."

"Nuannuan, don't be sad. I'll give you my bow."

The four little friends handed over their belongings and toys.

Hsing Nuannuan looked at the four little friends and couldn't help but sniff. She was touched by these four little carrot heads, okay?

"Nuannuan, don't cry. I know that they must have bullied you. If it wasn't for my mom locking me up, I would've run out to see you." Xiao Hua hugged Nuannuan.

Goudan walked into the house. "Let me see what they took. After the summer passes, winter will be coming soon. If they take away all the things to keep warm, how are you going to spend the winter?"

"Exactly." Xiaoju also walked into the house.

The group of little friends walked into the house and looked at the empty house. They couldn't help but cry. It wasn't their fault that the children were so mature. It was just that they were forced to live like this. They had to face a lot more difficulties than the eight or nine-year-old children in modern society.

"There's not even a blanket left," Xiao Shitou muttered. "How are we going to get through the winter?"

"Quartermaster? There is no grain left." Xiao Shitou was also dumbfounded when he came out of the kitchen.

"Don't worry, Nuannuan. We'll think of something." The four of them looked at Hsing Nuannuan in unison. Then, all of a sudden, they seemed to have a flash of understanding.

Hsing Nuannuan received a new message. "I've discovered four readers! The system for tipping is officially activated!"

Hsing Nuannuan's mouth twitched. These four friends didn't have anything to tip her with, did they? What was the point of activating the system? They were even poorer than her. At the very least, she could still make decisions for herself, but they didn't have the ability to do so.

However, she didn't know how the system was formed, but she was sure that it wouldn't affect her at all.

"Nuannuan, don't worry. I'll ask my parents to help think of something."

"Right, I'll ask my parents too."

"That's right. I'll go home and find my parents to think of something."

"I'll also look for my parents…" Xiao Shitou wanted to say that he wanted to look for his parents to think of something, but he knew that his parents wouldn't help him. After all, his parents were the kind of people who were extremely good. Fortunately, Xiao Shitou's personality was not bad, so he was quite liked by Nuannuan.

"It's fine. Don't worry about me. I'll be able to earn what I need for the winter soon." Hsing Nuannuan waved her hand. She was no longer worried. After all, she had a system. As long as she worked hard, she would definitely be able to survive.

"You're the only one left in the house," Hsing Nuannuan said. "It's almost dark. Are you afraid?" Xiaoju looked at her timidly. It was already half-past six in the evening. She didn't even dare to sleep at night, but she didn't want to stay alone in the middle of the mountains.

Hsing Nuannuan smiled. "Don't worry. Look, I have a wall and a gate here. This is a cliff, and it's also a cliff up there. It's safe to lock the door. I'm not afraid. You can rest assured!"

"Don't worry!" Xiaoju's eyes reddened. She felt that Hsing Nuannuan was much more pitiful than her. Her parents were gone, and her grandmother and aunt were still in the hospital. She had a house to return to, but they refused to take her back to the village. Was their hearts really that cruel?

"Xiao Hua, I'm fine. I'm really fine. Look, I'm alive and kicking. Besides, there's such a big mountain behind us. Dad and Mom once told us that we won't starve to death. Don't worry!" Hsing Nuannuan smiled as she comforted the young girl. In fact, all four of them were skinny and black.

In this place, the entire village was very poor. It wasn't just their family.

"Nuannuan, let's dig some wild vegetables tomorrow morning," Xiaoju said.

"Me too," Goudan said.

"Count me in," Hsing Nuannuan said with a smile. The wild vegetables could also be used to feed people. She would secretly bring some corn flour tomorrow. She couldn't let Nuannuan starve to death.

It was almost dark. The four little friends left very soon. The reason they could come was entirely because Nuannuan's parents had passed the seventh day of the seventh month. Otherwise, their family would not dare to let them out. After all, the eyes of children were very bright, and they could easily see things that adults couldn't see.

When the little friends left, they even forced Hsing Nuannuan to lock the door. Even Hsing Nuannuan had been nagging her to shut the door tight. Otherwise, she would be taken away by the big bad wolf.

Hsing Nuannuan's heart was already warm to tears by these little friends. However, there were indeed wolves in the mountain, and there were quite a few of them. Fortunately, although their house was a wooden door, their father had reinforced the wooden door. The wooden door was wrapped with wire, so even if wolves came, they wouldn't be able to bite it.

Hsing Nuannuan locked the door and sat in the yard. Fortunately, the stone stools and stone table in the yard were too heavy, and no one dragged them away. She felt that she was really lucky. Otherwise, she would have to sit on the ground.

The scenery in the mountain was very beautiful. Their house had a wall and a door on the side facing the road. Because the other side was a cliff, their parents had placed some stones and other obstacles on the other side of the cliff. It was about a meter tall. It seemed that it was to prevent her from falling down, right?

Hsing Nuannuan leaned over to take a look. The cliff was about four to five hundred meters high. If she fell down, her bones would probably shatter.

Her height was only a little more than a meter, but she could still see the scenery outside. There was a forest below the mountain, and it was very dense. From the looks of it, few people would go there. In the depths of her memories, her father had told her that she would rather starve to death than enter the forest, because there was miasma inside. If she went in, she would die.

Of course, there was miasma inside, but it did not affect the view from above. Perhaps this was also the reason why her parents had built this house here? The corner of Hsing Nuannuan's mouth twitched. Why did she feel that such a filial person should not be so romantic? After all, her stomach was not full, so how could she have so many romantic cells to look at the scenery?

The road at the entrance of their house was also opened by their parents. It was about two meters wide, and their parents had opened it about fifty meters wide. After that, there was only the road up the mountain.

She looked up at her own cave. It was at least below the cliff. If it was below the road, she would be afraid that her own cave would not be sturdy enough. The roof of their cave was also considered a cliff. Although it was not so straight up and down, it was still steep enough. Furthermore, it was a hundred meters away from the place where she could stand. Therefore, it was safe enough.
