Qi Zhen nodded, "The defense team arrived at the mountain pass about a quarter of an hour ago. Xiaocao must have gone up the mountain before that, but a child's speed is limited. Even if he has been up the mountain for two quarters of an hour, he can't go too far."
As he walked, he searched both sides and said, "My eyesight is not very good at night. You should watch more."
"Okay." Bai Banxia settled down, the moonlight shone on him, and the figure was elongated, making him look taller.
At that moment, she was glad to have asked Qi Zhen to come with her. Without him, she really didn't know what would have happened.
The two of them kept searching towards the mountain. Suddenly, Bai Banxia saw a little line scratched on a dead branch.
"It seems to be Xiaocao's clothes." She hurried over and knelt down to check. There was still a little blood stain on the dead branch. The blood stain had not dried up, which showed that it had been stained not long ago.
"Looking at the height, I might have scratched my hand." Qi Zhen said.
Bai Banxia looked around, "It should be nearby. Please take me to jump to the tree and have a look."
"Okay." Qi Zhen held her waist and jumped to the big tree next to her. The night wind blew in their ears. The grass and trees below were swaying, but there seemed to be no child.
"Isn't it in this area anymore?" Bai Banxia muttered, she felt that the grass would not go far.
Suddenly, she heard tiny sobs.
"Over there!"
"there!"
She and Qi Zhen said it almost at the same time. Qi Zhen understood, jumped off the tree with her in his arms, and rushed behind a big tree diagonally to the side.
It is indeed grass!
Xiaocao sat in the grass under the tree, and the weeds almost submerged her thin body. She hugged her knees and huddled up, crying softly.
"Xiaocao!" Bai Banxia shouted and rushed over, hugging her in his arms.
A look of surprise appeared on Xiaocao's face, but it soon turned into self-blame and shame.
"Sister, why are you here? Go back quickly and leave me alone!" Xiaocao cried.
"Fool, how could we not care about you?" Bai Banxia hugged her and refused to let go, and couldn't help crying.
Xiaocao shook her head desperately, "But I don't want to drag you down, I don't want you to be scolded, and I don't want to see you quarreling."
"It's hard to explain the conflicts between adults, not just because we want to adopt you." Bai Banxia touched her head and said seriously, "Xiaocao, people can never give up on themselves at any time, as long as there are still people in this world.
If there is someone who cares about you, you can't give up on yourself, and you can't make the person who really cares about you sad."
Qi Zhen spoke: "Your sister is crying."
"Sister, I'm sorry. I don't want you to feel sad, but I'm really scared, afraid that I will hurt you." Xiaocao's dark eyes were full of inferiority and self-blame.
Bai Banxia burst into tears instantly, she understood what Xiao Cao was thinking.
She was also fragile in her previous life when she was very young. She was born in a secluded medical school, but her parents died unexpectedly when she was very young. Without photos, she couldn't even remember what they looked like.
One time, she and her friends got into a fight over an argument, and she accidentally broke a child's head. Someone pointed at her and said that she had killed her parents and harmed other people's children, so she was a pest.
She cried secretly for a long time that night, feeling that it was all her fault. Without her, would her parents still be alive?
She was very depressed at that time, studying medicine was extremely hard, and she even contemplated death.
She has no parents, life is so hard, and no one cares about her, so why does she persist?
It was at that time that she had a problem with her own acupuncture and almost lost her life. But more importantly, she lost the will to live and wanted to die.
She was rescued by the great elder's wife, Grandma You, an old woman with all white hair.
She touched Bai Banxia's head and said: "As long as there is still someone who cares about you, you have to work hard to live. Grandma loves you very much. If you die, grandma may cry her eyes out."
At that time, Bai Banxia discovered that Grandma You's eyes were not good, as if they were covered with a layer of blue mist.
Later, she cheered up and worked hard to study medicine, hoping to cure Grandma You's eyes.
She shook her head, pulling back her thoughts that had run away.
"When my sister was little, she used to feel that everything was her fault. She had harmed my parents and everyone disliked me." She cried. "Before, I was pushed into the river by the girls in the village. They said I was fat.
The splash was bigger than others, and I choked on the water and almost died, but in the end I climbed onto the shore."
Qi Zhen was silent beside him, but his eyes fell on her. He remembered that when he first saw her, she was indeed a little fat, wearing shabby clothes, and looked very sloppy.
But he didn't know that she had such an experience. She had also been weak and helpless, right?
His eyes darkened as he remembered those people.
After Bai Banxia finished speaking, her eyes gradually became clearer. She would not linger in the sad memories of the past because she knew that tomorrow would be better.
"I also thought that it's my fault and everyone doesn't like me, but so what? They don't like me because they are blind. Do I want my parents who really like me to care about me because of those who don't like me?
Are you sad?"
She looked at Xiaocao and said: "Your grandma doesn't like you, and you don't like her either. Anyway, your sister, brother, and parents all like you. Do you want to give up your life just because you don't like your grandma?"
We who care about you are so sad. My mother and my eldest uncle are crying."
"Sister, I was wrong, I don't want you to be sad." Xiaocao hugged her and cried loudly.
Bai Banxia was extremely distressed, but did not try to persuade her. Crying loudly like this was also a way to vent, and it was better than holding it in her heart.
"Remember, don't take everything on yourself. If you can't figure it out, you can ask us, but you can't run out alone again. Your brother has bad eyesight. It's very dangerous to go up the mountain at night. What if he falls off the cliff again?
Bai Banxia said and winked at Qizhen.
"I broke my head in the mountains before, and there are wolves on the mountains. Let's go back quickly." Qi Zhen said cooperatively.
The grass grew up. She couldn't let her sister and brother be in danger.
Bai Banxia hugged her, but Qi Zhen reached out and took it, "I'll do it."
At this time, the sound of wolves howling came from the mountain, and Xiaocao was frightened. She had a deep-rooted fear of wolves.
When she was dying of illness, she was thrown into the mountains, where there were wolves not far away.
Bai Banxia reached out to cover her ears and signaled to Qi Zhen, and the three of them quickly went down the mountain.
When they arrived at the mountain pass, Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had found Xiaocao.
Everyone found that there were tears on Xiaocao's face, and Bai Banxia's eyes were swollen from crying. They couldn't help but feel a little moved, thinking that Bai Banxia was really kind-hearted and felt sorry for Xiaocao, a poor little girl.
