Chapter 197: The world is full of sorrows and joys, not everyone has a good life! The mushroom picking team begins to act!
"I'm going to catch ghosts for you, otherwise you won't dare to come here again." An Wenjing said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, and don't go."

Another small whimpering sound came with the sound of the wind.

Chen Guogang grabbed An Wenjing.

"Uncle Guo Gang, don't worry! There are no ghosts in this world!"

"Even if there really is a ghost, it's broad daylight. What's there to be afraid of a crybaby who can only cry?" An Wenjing said.

"Then you're pulling out my bamboo!"

Chen Guogang felt a little embarrassed and had to say something tough.

"It could be a wild cat or some other animal. This can be used for self-defense as well as hunting." An Wenjing explained and continued walking forward.

"Makes sense."

Chen Guogang nodded and took out a slingshot from his jacket pocket.

He bent down, picked up a few stones and followed An Wenjing.

Although An Wenjing knew in her heart that there was no ghost, she said so.

But the mountain breeze blowing in your face, mixed with the suppressed crying, still makes you feel numb from your scalp all the way down your spine.

The two men walked along the vegetable field and entered the woods ahead.

An Wenjing had sharp eyes and saw a few chicken mushrooms in the distance.

But now is not the time to pick mushrooms.

The crying sound became clearer and clearer, and it was getting closer and closer. An Wenjing was walking in front and Chen Guogang was walking behind.

The two men went deeper into the woods, bypassing a bunch of trees that blocked their view.

Follow the sound.

A small figure sat under a tree with its knees bent.

Fold your hands on your knees and bury your head in your arms.

The crying sound that scared Chen Guogang all morning came from here.

"Who is there?!" An Wenjing stretched her neck and asked.

When the little girl heard An Wenjing's question, her crying obviously stopped and she buried her head even deeper.

An Wenjing and Chen Guogang looked at each other and walked over together.

"Who are you? Look up so I can see you." An Wenjing squatted down and said.

The little girl didn't look up, but twisted her body to put some more on the other side.

"Hey? Isn't this Niu Niu from Chen Shouchang's family?" Chen Guogang recognized the person.

"Huh?! It's Niuniu!"

"I'm Sister Wenjing, look up!"

An Wenjing pushed the person in front of her and asked.

The little girl struggled for a moment, then looked up and saw that it was An Wenjing.

His mouth pursed and he suddenly burst into tears.

An Wenjing held her in her arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her for a long time.

After Niuniu's crying subsided a little, he asked, "Niuniu, what's wrong? What happened? Tell Sister Wenjing."

"Sister Wenjing, my mother will beat me to death!"

"My mother will definitely beat me to death this time. If I am beaten to death, will I be buried here?" After saying this, Niu Niu buried her head and started crying again.

An Wenjing patiently comforted her for a long time, and asked her several times before she finally understood the situation.

"My brother hit me again this morning. After he hit me, I ran upstairs. I pulled him and he fell down the stairs."

"My brother fell downstairs and became unresponsive. It was no use for me to yell or push him!"

"He must be dead! If I drop my brother to death, my mother will definitely beat me to death."

As Niu Niu spoke, the tears that had just subsided began to flow again.

"You made your brother fall. Have you told the adults?" Chen Guogang squatted down and asked.

Niuniu shook her head and whispered, "I dare not!"

"Sister-in-law Shi Lan usually warms up lunch for them in the pot and goes up the mountain with Brother Shouchang."

"Unless there is a special situation, I will come back when it is almost dark." An Wenjing's home is very close to Chen Shouchang's.

Niu Niu and An Wenyi are good friends and play together every day.

An Wenjing was very familiar with their family's situation and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Then we have to call someone quickly!" Chen Guogang said anxiously.

"Uncle Guogang, I have guests coming to my house to visit. I can't just bring them up the mountain and leave them there," An Wenjing said in embarrassment.

"I know!"

"I'll go get someone, you just take Niuniu back."

"This kid, why didn't he call an adult when such a big thing happened?"

As Chen Guogang said this, he threw away the stone he had been holding in his hand and trotted away.

An Wenjing took Niu Niu's hand and went back to look for Huang Xiu Lian and the others.

A few people were still waiting there.

I saw the sturdy man who was growing vegetables hurried away, and then I saw An Wenjing bringing back a girl whose eyes were as swollen as quail eggs.

They all gathered around curiously to ask what was going on.

An Wenjing briefly explained the situation and felt in his pocket.

Unfortunately, I didn’t bring any candy today.

"Oh! Poor little thing, don't cry. I'll share the apple with you."

Huang Wenqian took out the apple she had prepared for the trip and handed it to Niu Niu to comfort her.

"You've caused such a big disaster and yet you dare to hide. I really won't go too far if I beat you to death!"

Wang Guixiang successfully put herself in Niu Niu's mother's perspective and started to get angry.

"That's not intentional! If she hides away out of fear when something happens, it means she's often beaten at home!"

"How could you bear to do that to such a young girl?"

Huang Wenqian felt a little sorry for the little girl in front of her.

"Do you think everyone is as lucky as you?"

"Girls are the least valuable in rural areas! When your aunt was a child, she was almost given away by your grandmother." Wang Guixiang said.

"Okay, why are you bringing this up with me?"

Huang Xiulian interrupted the two people's quarrel and asked An Wenjing: "What about now? Should we go back first?"

"It doesn't matter. My uncle has already gone to call for help. Niuniu can just follow us."

"I just saw some chicken mushrooms. Let's go and pick the mushrooms first." An Wenjing said.

"Otherwise, let's go back first. Picking mushrooms is just for fun." He Juanjuan said.

"It's fine."

"If she goes back now, her parents will be furious and will beat her up for no reason."

"Go back later. Brother Chen Hui and I will go over and say a few good words to act as a guarantor. Things will be better then."

An Wenjing said.

I sighed inwardly: I hope Zaizai is okay, otherwise it would be useless even if the village chief comes to guarantee it.

"Okay, then let's go pick some chicken mushrooms." He Juanjuan nodded and said.

Huang Wenqian saw Niuniu holding a green apple in a daze, poked her gently and said, "Eat it quickly, don't you like apples?"

"Leave it for my brother to eat."

When Niu Niu thought that her brother might have been killed by her, tears began to flow silently again.

Afraid of embarrassing everyone, he quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.

"Hey, eat it! I'll give you another one for your brother when we get back!"

"Can't you bite it? Do you want me to help you bite a bite first?" Huang Wen Qian asked.

Niu Niu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and handed the green apple to Huang Wenqian.

Huang Wenqian took a bite with a crunch and gave the apple back to Niuniu, "Eat it quickly, it smells so good."

An Wenjing also reached out to touch Niu Niu's head, took her hand and walked in front, leading a few people to the woods to look for chicken mushrooms.
