Yun Niang dragged her tired body and led Yaya home.

As she expected, Li Qian was not at home.

She sighed secretly in her heart. It seemed that the head of the house really had no intention of studying anymore.

"Aniang, I'm going to beg the village chief now to let me herd cattle for their family." Yaya said sensibly while holding Yun Niang's hand.

When I went to Zhuang Mansion today, my mother-in-law didn't get her wages. She knew that she must be worried about food.

Yun Niang touched Yaya's head and said softly, "Yaya is very sensible, but you are still young. If you let go of the village chief's grandfather's cattle, we can't afford to pay for it."

Yaya pursed her lips, "Yaya will be careful and won't let the cow go."

"I know our Yaya is not a careless child, but the village chief grandpa will not trust you. There is only one cow in the village, which is more valuable than human life. He will not let you let it go," Yun Niang said.

What she said is true. A cow's life is indeed worth more than a human life these days.

The village chief is the only one in the village who owns a cow. He usually drives an ox cart and is reluctant to part with it. How could he let a four- or five-year-old child herd the cow?

Of course, it is not that there are no children who herd cattle for the village chief's family, but they are only half-year-old children who can get a small amount of rations every day. This is why Yaya wants to herd cattle for the village chief's family.

"But grandma didn't get her wages today and couldn't buy food. What will daddy eat when he comes back?" Yaya said with a worried frown.

She was even a little worried that her father would beat and scold them again because they had no food.

Although Li Qian made her feel a little different yesterday, the shadow in her heart has not completely dissipated.

Yun Niang sighed secretly, no matter what, we really couldn't let the head of the family go hungry.

"Aniang will go dig some wild vegetables first, and Yaya will stay at home." After she warned Yaya, she carried the basket and went out.

Yaya squatted at the door, tilting her head and not knowing what she was thinking.

After thinking for a long time, she seemed to have thought of something, stood up, closed the door, and trotted away in one direction of the village.

Yun Niang looked a little sad on the road.

When I went to Zhuang Mansion today, I didn’t know what happened in Zhuang Mansion. Even the government was alarmed. She waited outside for a whole day, but they couldn’t let her in. They just took away her sewn skirt and didn’t see her at all.

I have the second young lady, and no one pays her wages.

She originally hoped to use her wages to buy some food in the town, but she failed.

She was not worried that the second lady of the Zhuang Mansion would not pay her wages. She had done several jobs for the Zhuang Mansion, and the second lady never paid her less, and even sometimes gave her more. Maybe something had really happened to the Zhuang Mansion.

But today she could only eat wild vegetables. She was afraid that Li Qian would be unhappy, so she was wondering if she should borrow some food from a family in the village after digging the wild vegetables.

Or dig some more wild vegetables and exchange them for some. It doesn't matter what she and Yaya eat, but they can't let the head of the family eat poorly.

Thinking about Li Qian's strong stand for their mother and daughter last night, she felt some inexplicable emotions in her heart.

"Yunniang, has your Li Qian gone back?" Ma Lingling, who was still digging wild vegetables outside, couldn't help but ask when she saw Yunniang.

These days, everyone relies on wild vegetables to make a living, so it is not easy to dig. The women usually dig for a whole day.

"No, no." Yun Niang said.

"We saw him go to Blind Man's Mountain, but we never saw him come out," Ma Lingling said.

"Blind Man's Mountain? Why did the master go to Blind Man's Mountain again?" Yun Niang's face turned pale, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground.

"He said he went hunting in Blind Man Mountain, and he was carrying a hatchet. Yun Niang, what, Li Qi'an has been to Blind Man Mountain before?" Ma Linling picked up the basket for her and asked curiously.

"I, I don't know either." After all, Yun Niang heard from Hou San last night that Li Qi'an had been to Blind Man Mountain, and she didn't dare to ask.

The head of the house went hunting in Blind Man Mountain? How could he have such an idea?

In addition to being worried, Yun Niang was also a little confused.

"Yun Niang, don't worry yet. I'll ask my father to call some people to go to the mountains to look for him together." Ma Linling comforted her.

"Yes, Yun Niang, don't worry for now. I'll ask my man to come over and help us search together."

Several other women also nodded repeatedly.

Although village women like them often make fun of Li Qi'an, country people are relatively simple and do not want anything to happen to Li Qi'an.

In the Blind Mountain.

The burly man held a long knife and waved it several times while shouting.

The short man also stared around warily.

Except for a few mountain birds flying from the branches, everything returned to normal.

"Brother, there seems to be no one." The short man relaxed his vigilance and said.

He also began to untie the things on his feet, but the more he untied them, the tighter they became, and he was sweating profusely.

"This thing is so evil, why can't it be untied?"
