The younger ones are back, but the older ones are gone.

Xiao Hua Niang didn't know what she felt, she only knew that she couldn't let her husband know about this.

If that man who is kind and kind, if he knew that the daughter of the life-saving elder brother fell into the hands of a human trafficker, he would have failed to fulfill his responsibilities, what would he regret?

Second Dan sat on the small stool, Xiaohua's surprise of returning became pain without her sister. He lowered his head, holding the few pine nuts in his hand tightly, wanting to cry but enduring it.

"First, don't let your father know!" Xiaohua's mother choked and told Xiaohua, "Wait until he gets cured, let's go and find Damei back!"

Even for a child, Erdan knew that this was to comfort himself and it was impossible to achieve. But what could he do?

A patient lying on the kang, the family is waiting for food, and no one has to bow to the cruel reality and difficult life.

…………………

A gust of cold wind blew, the smoke from the mining area drifted, and the rotten smell of rotten wood penetrated my mind. The coal dust spread in the air, gray, making people feel suffocating.

Chen Chen frowned slightly and walked into the village.

The mine has not yet been started, and the farm seems deserted. Only when you walk to the intersection of the "Ding" character, will you feel a little lively and lively.

Although there are fewer miners talking and chatting after work, there are still a few shoes repairing, lamp repairing, and shabby selling waiting for customers on the road.

The busiest one was still the little girl selling maltose, keeping shouting, "What sweet candy, what sweet candy is just out of the pot!" Her voice was already a little hoarse, but the candy was almost not sold, and there was still a layer of dust on it.

"Sister Damei--" Erniu, who was selling candy, stopped shouting, ran over, and said with surprise: "You are back."

Chen Chen squeezed out a smile, nodded, and said, "Well, I'm back. Are you still selling candy?"

"What are you eating if you don't sell candy?" Erniu didn't hear Chen Chen's abnormal speaking, her face darkened and then smiled, "Sister Damei, it's great that you are back. Everyone is thinking about you, I, Lanzi, Juanzi miss you!"

Chen Chen smiled, feeling very moved. The child of this age said the truth.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard Erniu's stomach rumbling. It seemed as if it was contagious, and her stomach also made the same sound. Only then did she feel hungry.

Erniu was not ashamed of this. She also heard the sound from Chen Chen's belly. She blinked and picked up a piece of candy and handed it to Chen Chen, "Sister Damei, you eat candy."

Chen Chen hesitated for a moment, looked at Erniu's sincere eyes, pursed the corner of his lips, reached out to take it, quietly wiped the dust from the candy with his fingers, and then put it in his mouth, and even made a praise, "It's so sweet, this candy is delicious."

Erniu smiled happily. Seeing someone passing by, she hurriedly shouted a few more words. After someone passed by, she turned to look for Damei again, but found that Damei had already walked away.

She was a little disappointed, but for the sake of life, some hoarse shouts rang out on the street again.

Alas, Erniu sighed softly, looked at the candy that could not be sold, and felt sad again.

A hand stretched out from behind and gently patted Erniu's shoulder. She looked back and faced Damei's smiling eyes, and then handed over a hot white flour bun.

"I'll treat you to a bun." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"You, Sister Damei-" Erniu widened her eyes, not knowing what to say.

"Hold it, eat it quickly!" Chen Chen stuffed the steamed buns into Erniu's hand. She also held a paper bag and took out the white buns from it. She looked at Erniu as if she was looking at Erniu and took a big bite.

Erniu smiled, smelled the steamed bun, took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it slowly. When she brought the steamed bun to her mouth, she hesitated for a moment, reluctantly took it back, and whispered: "I'll keep it for me."

Chen Chen's smile froze. People think of their family, but are they selfish? Not all, but she hasn't fully understood the difficulties of living by poor people. She found some money from human traffickers and then made a big fuss.

Chen Chen took out another steamed bun from the paper bag, put it into Erniu's basket, and said in a deep voice: "You eat it, give it to your little brother. Well, I'll leave first!"

"Sister Damei--" Erniu was stunned. When she looked up again, Chen Chen had already walked away quickly and saw only a figure on her back.

…………………

Little cat, meow,

Don't wash your face, look in the mirror,

Photos on the left and on the right,

The beard was so angry that he was raised - meow!

After singing, Xiaohua turned her eyelids and opened her mouth, imitating the cat, and pounced on Chen Chen, shouting, "Meow, Meow!"

Chen Chen smiled and pulled Xiaohua over, touched her head, pinched her face, and then turned over and got off the kang.

When she got home, she put the steamed buns on the kang and fell asleep. After a long sleep, it was already dark outside.

"It's so late, why haven't you been sleeping yet?" Chen Chen yawned, walked to the basin, and washed his face randomly.

"Sister, my mother said that I will cook for you when you wake up." Xiaohua was like a follower, following Shen Chen.

Oh, Chen Chen agreed randomly, paused for a while, and asked again: "How is uncle's illness?"

"Mom has grabbed three doses of medicine, and my father is a little energetic after taking it."

Xiaohua sat next to Chen Chen again on the edge of the kang, tilted her head and looked at the sister, and asked, "Sister, how did you come back? Where is that human trafficker? When you came back, your mother asked you, you said you killed him and buried him, which scared her mother."

That's what I said? Chen Chen rolled his eyes and remembered it. He just said it casually and fell asleep.

Although it was the truth, it scared the honest aunt. Well, I had to think of a word to make them feel at ease and explain the sudden wealth.

Xiaohua blinked her eyes and looked at her sister, frowned, rolled her eyes, and then touched her chin and pondered.

The sound of gentle footsteps sounded, and the little flower girl walked in with the food, looked at Chen Chen with a little timid, and said in a low voice: "Damei, let's have a meal!"

Chen Chen looked up at his aunt, and the lie was almost made up. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Auntie, have you eaten?"

"Eat, eat." The little flower girl put the food on the small kang table, sat on the edge of the kang with her body slanted, and looked at Chen Chen from time to time with a dodge.

Two steamed buns, a small plate of pickles, and a bowl of red porridge. Chen Chen was not polite, eating and drinking, but this red sorghum porridge tasted really-

"Damei--" Seeing that her niece had almost eaten, the aunt spoke carefully and tentatively: "You, this, won't leave?"

"I'll leave in a few days." Chen Chen swallowed the food in his mouth, handed the remaining half of the steamed bun to Xiaohua, and said, "I'm full, you can eat it while it's hot!"

Xiaohua glanced at her mother and got the approval. She hurriedly took it over. She ate it in a few bites, and half a bowl of sorghum porridge was pushed to her again.

"That, I was sold to a big family in the town. The family was quite kind and asked me to accompany his lady to study in a foreign school."

Chen Chen continued to speak before the little flower girl: "They took me honestly and made up some money and gave me a few days off, so he asked me to go home to clean up."

As he said that, Chen Chen took out the remaining money and handed it to his aunt, "I don't have much money, I'll keep it at home to buy some food, and then get some medicine for my uncle!"

"This, Auntie can't ask for this money." Xiaohuaniang slammed her hands and said stutteringly: "All it is done, isn't this sold you? If it is spread, you won't be stabbed by the backbone!"

"Then let's not talk about selling it, just say I'm going to work for someone in the town!" Chen Chen said indifferently: "The lady in that family is kind-hearted. I might be able to go home from time to time or get some money to supplement the family!"

Xiao Hua Niang is simple and has never seen any world. Although she is skeptical, she is more likely to believe this kind of rhetoric if she wants to kill and bury human traffickers with what Chen Chen said.

"It's not easy to find a good family, but it's better to do it. Don't always worry about your family." Xiaohuaniang reminded with kind words: "Where is this money, I'll add some clothes to you, clean up the profits, and buy some food to eat at home for a few full meals. In this way, when you leave, my aunt can also make some snacks."

Lili was neat? Chen Chen grabbed his hair. It was really troublesome. Let’s cut the trick short first!

"Auntie, please bring the scissors, cut my hair short and cut it into a boy's head." Chen Chen looked at his aunt's somewhat surprised expression and explained: "It's too long and easy to have lice. The lady is most afraid of this."

The little flower girl was relieved and muttered and walked out, "It's shorter, but it can't be too short. How can girls cut their heads into boys?"

He had to cut it into a boy's head. Chen Chen knew he had to fool him, but with the beginning, it was easier to deal with it. When he turned around, he saw that Xiaohua had eaten all the steamed buns and porridge, and even a grain of rice was left in the bowl.

"Tomorrow, sister will take you out to buy big cakes." Chen Chen looked at his sister's slim face and felt a little sad. He left some money in his pocket, so let the children eat a few more bites!

"The big cake is delicious." Xiaohua swallowed, and smiled so hard that she showed her tiger's teeth.

"Where is the second prostitute?" Chen Chen was a little surprised. My dear brother, why didn't you come to meet him?

"I'm out with Brother Xiaomao." Xiaohua blinked and added: "They whispered, saying that they were trying to regain the basket."

Chen Chen frowned and thought for a while, and understood a little. The children picked up charcoal and were snatched away the basket by the supervisors in the mine. They did not take it once or twice. They were hard and had a tough temper. They actually thought about taking it back.

But—Chen Chen pursed his lips, turned around and ran out, almost colliding with Xiaohua Niang at the door. Listening to his aunt calling her from behind, Chen Chen didn't stop, ran out of the yard and headed straight for the slag mountain.

…………………

The searchlights on the slag hill slowly swept back and forth, illuminating the small railway leading from the entrance of the big well.

Chen Chen hid in the shadows and looked at the mine carefully.

The mine was densely packed with two layers of power grids, and the small house where the supervisor lived was right next to the wellhead. The grid door at the bottom of the slag hill was not closed, and there was no post. The slag truck took a long time to come out.

"Wang, wool, wool!" A big dog suddenly jumped out from under the supervisor's house, barked a few times, and then squatted in front of the house door and stopped moving.

Chen Chen moved quietly, changed his angle, and finally saw a black shadow hiding behind a mine cart more than 30 meters away from the supervisor's house.

Because of the big dog's surveillance, the black shadow was in a dilemma. After moving for a few moments, he hid back, which was so anxious.

Kong was worried, and Chen Chen could only look at it, unable to use his strength or speak.

At this moment, the puppet army on the guardhouse at the mine gate shouted again, "Who is lying there? Come over quickly, why don't you shoot!"

The puppet army was so scared that the black shadow couldn't hold back and hurriedly turned around and crawled out of the mine.

The dog heard the movement and barked again. The black shadow became even more scared, and accelerated, climbed straight to the slag hill, met with another black shadow, and ran quickly.

A mistake occurred while busy, and a figure kicked a shovel on the slag hill in panic, and the shovel rolled down the road. The shovel started shouting again on the guardhouse, and the two black shadows hurriedly fell down again.

"What are you doing while lying down? I've seen you already." Two puppet troops walked towards the top of the slag mountain, and the bolts were pulled straight.

The dog's eyes were so sharp that it could be seen in the dark shadow. Xiaomao grabbed a stone and whispered to Erdan: "Anyway, I can't run away, so I'll give it to him."

Erdan hesitated and said, "Or, let's go there, I didn't take anything from them anyway."

Xiaomao blinked and hesitated, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, the slag not far away made another rustling sound, and then it was like a wild dog lying low and two loud noises.
