Chapter 1073: Thief, get better

Chapter 1073 Thief, getting better

This snow disaster has not only affected tens of millions of people, but also tens of millions of animals whose survival has been threatened. As the snow becomes thicker day by day, birds cannot find grass seeds, insects and ants, herbivores cannot find grass roots and moss, and it becomes more difficult for beasts to hunt... Many animals starve to death and freeze to death in this heavy snow.

As the former leader of the wolf pack, Dabai has an inseparable affection for his pack. Even though he lives with Mo Yan now, he cannot stand by and watch when the clan is in trouble. This time, its group alone froze and starved to death several old and frail old wolves, and more than ten young wolves that had not yet grown up also died.

The cubs carry all the hopes of a group, and their death is a huge loss for any species. This time, Dabai brought back all the cubs in the group that could not hunt, a total of thirteen.

In addition to the more than ten tiger cubs, wolf cubs, and even bear cubs brought back by the four beasts Lin Lin Zongzong, the Mo family already has twenty-five ferocious beast cubs.

The only one who has never brought a cub home is Maodan. He has grown up with Mo Yan. He is not a social animal and has no contact with tigers in the mountains. He really has no feelings for those of the same kind.

While the other four beasts went to the mountains to deliver food every day, Mao Tuan stayed at home, either following Mo Yan in and out, or entertaining himself by rolling in the snowdrifts.

As for the dozens of birds he had trained previously, they also had good playmates. Mo Yan often prepared small cloth bags for them, filled them with some corn, and asked them to take them to their friends. She would also put a few bowls under the corner every day, which were also filled with corn or leftovers. The walls of the courtyard were often filled with begging birds.

There are so many cute little things at home, and the happiest ones are none other than Zhen'er. Because of their relationship with the little hairballs, they were full of love for these little guys. After feeding the cubs in person every day, they would leave with Mo Yan's urging.

The cubs were placed in an unused house in the front yard. Their sleeping area was covered with hay and old quilts, plus two burning charcoal pots. Even when they were not sleeping in the arms of their parents, they would You won't feel cold anymore.

Its so fun, this little bear cub is so cute.

Zhen'er liked the bear cub that slowly walked over, grabbing his arm with its two front paws to beg for meat. Zhen'er stretched out his other hand and gently touched the bear cub's ear. She looked like she was begging for a touch, and she fell in love with her even more.

The little bear cub is cute, this little tiger is good-looking? On the other side, Shenger struggled to hold a little tiger cub, imitating Mo Yans treatment of the hair ball, and pinched the little tigers ears.

The little tiger is not yet a month old, but already weighs seven or eight kilograms. He didn't resist when Sheng'er held him, but he didn't like having his ears touched very much, and he meowed dissatisfiedly.

"You two, please don't touch each other, be careful of getting scratched." Yun Zhao looked at his younger brother and then at his sister. He was very anxious for a moment, fearing that the cubs would not be serious and would hurt his younger brother and sister.

Mo Yan couldn't stand it any longer and pinched each one: "Okay, okay, their stomachs are full. Put them down quickly. They have to sleep to grow faster."

These little guys are cute, but if they turn their faces, their sharp teeth and claws can make people bleed.

Mo Yan did not feed these little ones to drink spiritual spring water, just because they would return to the mountains and forests one day. She did not want them to be like hairballs, too attached to the human world. Not only would they be unwilling to leave, but she would also be reluctant to let them go. If they leave, it will not do any good to their growth. They are the hope for the future of the group.

In order to continue feeding tomorrow, Zhen'er and Sheng'er did not dare to resist Mo Yan's words and obediently put down the bear cubs and tiger cubs. Seeing the two cubs running to the nest and lying down to sleep without looking back, the two of them were quite disappointed. They had always wanted a little friend who was as obedient and clingy as a furball.

Mo Yan looked funny, but he would not leave the bear cub and tiger cub for them, and let the two cubs live with them like furballs.

After closing the door, the four siblings walked across the yard to the main hall. At this time, the bell under the eaves rang. Mo Yan asked the siblings to go in first and opened the door himself along the snow-free corridor.

"Aunt Wu, why are you here? Come in quickly, it's very cold outside." Seeing that it was Wu, Mo Yan quickly stepped away and let the person in.

I had nothing to do at home, so I made some cat ears. Ill give them to you to try. Mrs. Wu weighed the pot in her hand and said with a smile. I saw that the rice cooker was covered with a layer of white cotton cloth, and a faint sweet smell came out.

"It's fried candy slices? It's so good. I've been wanting to eat these for the past few days. I didn't want to bother with them so I didn't bother to make them. I didn't expect that I could have them ready-made today. Thank you Aunt Wu." Mo Yan hurriedly took Wu He lifted up the white cotton cloth on the rice cooker in his hand, picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth. There was a crunching sound, and his mouth was filled with sweet and sweet taste.

Fried sugar chips are a kind of fried pasta, just like fried banana leaves. It is made of wheat flour and soba flour. When kneading the dough, add an appropriate amount of sugar, then spread it out into a thin layer with a rolling pin, overlap the two colors of dough, and then roll it into a roll. After compacting, cut into thin slices with a blade, then roll it back and forth in the oil pan, and the crispy and sweet fried sugar slices are ready.

Seeing that Mo Yan couldn't eat one piece, she put another piece in her mouth and it tasted delicious. Wu's face was full of smiles, and she was happier than if she had eaten it herself: "I have made a lot at home. If there is not enough food, just go and get it." , just tell me whenever you want to eat it, and I will make it ready-made for you."

Hey, if you want to eat in the future, just tell Aunt Wu, this dumpling will last me a long time! Mo Yan bit another piece, enjoying the crunchy sound of the fried candy slices being bitten into pieces.

The two were chatting as they walked into the house. Wu suddenly remembered something, stopped and said to Mo Yan: "Last night, there was a thief in the Sun family. If Boss Sun hadn't been alert and woken up by the thief's movements, Im afraid that the thief will succeed!

Mo Yan was taken aback, swallowed the fried candy slices in a few gulps and asked, "Has the thief been caught? The Sun family didn't lose anything, right?"

The Mo family is a bit far away from the village, and there is deep snow outside. I rarely walk around the village on weekdays, and no one comes to tell me about it, so I don't know that something like this happened in the village.

After listening to Mo Yan's words, Mrs. Wu shook her head: "The thief was very clever. He rushed out of the house and disappeared. Boss Sun didn't catch up. He was also worried that the thief had an accomplice to help him, so he didn't dare to chase him. There was no one at home. What was lost was that the thief took away a few large coins on the bed table."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan said thankfully: "The money was not stolen and everyone is fine. The old Sun family is lucky, otherwise this life would have been difficult."

Last year, the old Sun family also participated in greenhouse cultivation. The laborers in the family are all good at work. They can get a lot of work points every month, and the money they receive is naturally a lot. We originally planned to build a new house after spring, but if we let the thief steal the money at this juncture, months of hard work would be in vain.

"No! This snowstorm has caused thieves to come to the village. Now everyone has hidden their money tightly, fearing that those who have hidden evil intentions will come to Liuyang Village to do evil." Wu said with lingering fears. She said that her family was still a single family. If someone climbed over the courtyard wall to do something, they, an orphan and a widowed mother, would definitely not be a match.

Mo Yan frowned. Is what she was worried about going to happen? With this in mind, she reminded: "You have to be careful. If a thief breaks into your home and you can't beat him, it's better to give up some money. No matter how important money is, it's not as important as your life."

Wu Shi nodded, she thought so too. Now those thieves may only be doing evil alone, but if they work together, they will not be so easy to deal with. They may just use knives and sticks to rob them directly.

Looking at the birds vying for food under the corner, her tone was full of worry: "I don't know when the snow will stop. If it continues like this, there will be big trouble."

Mo Yan consoled him: "The snow will stop one day. Even if something happens, there are so many people in our village and our hearts are united. How can we still be afraid of those bad guys?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt a little better: "You are right. The matter has not reached that point. There is no point in worrying about it. It is better to take more precautions."

Mo Yan nodded, and was about to temporarily send a dog from the chicken farm to Wu's house to guard the house, when Li Yan hurried over and said in surprise: "Sister Yan Yan, that kid in the house Start talking."

The child Li Yan is talking about is the child that Xiaohei picked up years ago and has been raising it for seven or eight days now. At first, she was full of fear of strangers. At that time, she wanted to run away, but Mo Yan was bitten when she stepped forward to stop her.

The child's condition has improved in the past two days. He has eaten almost all the three meals delivered, and his appetite is gradually increasing. Mo Yan has not seen it in person, but Li Xiu, who delivered the meal, said that the wound on the child's body is also slowly improving. He slowly got better, but he still didn't speak. Even the words he used to call for help, mother and eldest sister gradually disappeared.

"He actually spoke? This is really good news. Let's go and have a look." Mo Yan was also very happy when she heard that the child had spoken. This meant that the child was getting better and might be able to think of him in a few days. life experience. When the time comes, she can help find her family, and maybe the family can be reunited.

Before, she had thought about finding out the children's origins from the textile workshop where children were abused, but Xiao Ruiyuan sent news that all the children in the textile workshop were bought from human traffickers.

There were so many children that the traffickers could not remember where they bought them, but they roughly remembered that they were bought from Yongcheng.

Yongcheng was the city where the Mo family hoped to seek asylum the year they fled. Later they met Xiao Ruiyuan and others and followed Xiao Shiyi's advice. They made the right choice and luckily arrived in the capital.

Mrs. Wu knew that the Mo family had rescued a child, but she had never seen it. She had nothing to do at the moment, so she smiled and said, "I will go and have a look with you. If I really can't find her, Please give her to my family, and I will take care of her and raise her as my own daughter."

Mo Yan heard that there was no joke in Wu's words and knew why she did this. She couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, but she smiled on her face and said: "It's her blessing that Aunt Wu is willing to raise her. I would have had a headache before if I couldn't find one." When it comes to her family, how are they going to accommodate her?"

The smile on Wu's face turned bitter, and she murmured: "I hope my Sinier can be like this child and meet good people like your family, so that she can have a good home..."

Its not that she has never thought about retrieving Sinier. Especially after the Wu familys conditions improved, Wus desire to retrieve her daughter became even stronger. However, the sea of people was huge, and I had no idea where the trafficker came from or where he was going. Finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Looking at the grief on Wu's face, Mo Yan felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only secretly pray that Sinier would meet a kind family and be safe and smooth.

The three of them soon arrived at the room where the child was, and saw the child sitting quietly at the table. Li Xiu was talking to her and gently combing her hair.

The child seemed to be frightened when he saw the relatively unfamiliar Mo Yan and others. He yelled, stood up suddenly and tried to hide in the corner of the table.

Li Xiu grabbed her, patted her back and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they are all good people. She asked me to bring you food every day, and it was her horse that rescued you." .

Speaking, Li Xiu pointed at Mo Yan, forgetting for a moment the fact that the child's mind was damaged and could not understand what she said.

Although the child did not understand, she trusted Li Xiu who brought her meals every day. Seeing that Li Xiu did not chase the three of them away, the three of them were very kind, especially the adult in the middle. Give her a familiar feeling and tell her intuitively that this person will not harm her.

For a moment, the child lowered his guard, but hid behind Li Xiu and still did not dare to come out. He only stared at the three of them with his big, abrupt eyes.

However, this state is much better than before. Apart from her thin and shapeless figure and sunken cheeks and eyes, she is no different from a normal child.

Tsk, tsk, this Li Xiu is quite a talent, he managed to coax this wolf cub into peace so quickly. Xue Tuanzis voice suddenly appeared, his tone was quite surprising.

Mo Yan rolled her eyes and replied in her mind: "Obviously Aunt Li paid for it with her sincerity, so why did she become the big bad wolf who deceived Little Red Riding Hood when she got to you?"

Wrong! It was Big Red Riding Hood who tricked the little wolf cub. Xue Tuanzi firmly did not think that he was wrong and started to argue with Mo Yan.

Mo Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with it, decisively blocked the connection in his consciousness, and walked towards the uneasy child.

Li Xiu knew that if she wanted her child to live like a normal person, the first thing she needed to do was to make her no longer afraid of people. Seeing that the child kept hiding behind her, she comforted her and held Mo Yan's hand: "Don't be afraid, Yan Yan is a good person and won't hurt you. Look, I held her hand and put it away. I didn't Did I lie to you..."

Under Li Xiu's persistent comfort, the child finally became less nervous. His head poked out from behind Li Xiu, and his eyes that were particularly big due to his thinness looked at Mo Yan in confusion.

As everyone knows, seeing this look in Mo Yan's eyes, she felt a little more pity for the child. She tentatively stretched out her hand to touch the child's face. Unexpectedly, the child did not dodge, but because her hands were warm. It's soft, and I rub it unconsciously, just like the hairballs I had when I was a child.

Mo Yan felt soft and said softly: "You are younger than me, please call me 'sister', okay?"

The child was particularly sensitive to the word "sister". She saw the confused expression on Mo Yan's face. Under Mo Yan's encouraging gaze, she turned to Li Xiu and called "sister", her voice was particularly clear.

In the eyes of a child, she can only accept Li Xiu, who brings her meals every day and can talk to her, as her elder sister. In her only remaining memory, her eldest sister overlaps with Li Xiu in some places, making her... Li Xiu has a natural trust.

Well, my sister is here.

Li Xiu held the child in her arms pitifully, touching her skinny body, wishing she could gain weight immediately. When she first married into the Zhang family, she was rejected by the Zhang family because she had nothing to do for many years. Zhang Ming then hooked up with a widow and ruthlessly abandoned her.

There are few women who are unwilling to give birth to children, and Li Xiu also wants to be a mother. In fact, after taking care of the child for so many days, she has already raised the child as her own, but since the child calls her sister, she doesn't dislike it in her heart.

Looking at such a warm scene, Mrs. Wu, who had not spoken from beginning to end, looked a little dazed, as if she had seen her Sinier nestled in her arms with such attachment back then. However, she was not a good mother, and even her own children were not. Couldn't protect...

Have you guys guessed the identity of the child? La la la? (^?^*)
