C4 Picking up a Baby
"Don't run around, okay?" Chen Hu told Yun Xiao again before he left in a worried tone. The trap was set on the side of the slope where the terrain was slightly dangerous, so Yun Xiao was not allowed to follow. Chen Hu disappeared after a few steps, which showed the change in the situation.
Yun Xiao caught her breath and tossed the tiger's instructions to the back of her mind. She then stood up and carefully walked to the side of the slope. Suddenly, her center of gravity tilted, and her vision began to spin.
Yun Xiao instinctively wrapped her arms around her head and curled up her body, allowing her small body to roll down the slope. It was fortunate that there were no sharp plants along the way, only a few small thorns. However, Yun Xiao had to suffer a lot before she finally came to a stop.
In the midst of his dizziness, he heard a loud splash.
Yun Xiao slowly stood up, only then did she realize that she had rolled to the side of the long stream creek where the Xishan Village name came from, and on the other side was a steep mountain wall. At this moment, the center of the stream rippled with water. Just what was that thing?
Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes and stared at the center of the lake. She could vaguely see the figure of a child slowly floating up from the water. His arms and legs were white and tender like lotus roots. He looked about three years old. Yun Xiao circled around and found that she could not reach it. In the end, she could only dive into the water and finally fish the child back to the stream with great difficulty.
Yun Xiao lowered her head to look at the child in her arms. Her face didn't look good. Her chest was heaving and her breathing was ragged. She was completely naked and her brows were furrowed. However, she had good facial features.
Picking up the child, Yun Xiao walked back along the stream. Since she couldn't climb up the slope anymore, she could only head back to the village.
As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they saw Chen Hu leading the village folks into the mountains to find someone.
Yun Xiao was thin and weak, and she was even carrying a child. With her frail body, it was already hard enough for her to walk back like this. However, Chen Hu managed to catch up.
"Xiao-Xiao, where did you run off to? I turned around to find you gone, but it scared me. I couldn't find you anywhere, so I went to the mountain looking for you. "
Chen Hu walked in front and saw Yun Xiao. He was talking nonstop and was really worried about her. He led her out by himself and then lost her, "What's wrong with your sorry state? Also, whose child is this? "
Yun Xiao answered honestly, "I picked it up from the stream."
Everyone looked at each other.
Those who came with Chen Hu were all warm-hearted people in the village. They heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Yun Xiao was safe and sound.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, it's good that you're fine. You should be more careful when you enter the mountain in the future. A jackal, a tiger, a leopard … I just like your tender skin."
"That's right. From what I know, a girl like you is very thin. What's there to be proud of when you enter the mountain? Quickly, ask the village chief to tell you who I am."
"Ah, Xiaoxiao is already thirteen. She can really talk to me like that." "Although you need to be filial, it's fine to book a marriage contract first."
"What about the child? After all, you can't bring a marriage, right? "
"That's right. She's already half a child, and with a child …"
"Being thrown into the stream at such a young age, he's probably just a pitiful child. If I can't raise him, I'll have to throw him away."
Everyone started talking at the same time and it became more and more lively. One by one, they brought up their opinions to help Yun Xiao solve this problem.
Yun Xiao held the child she had picked up with a stupefied expression. She didn't understand why the topic of marriage would suddenly change.
