The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

The cold wind at night made her face feel cold and she shivered. She waved her hand to put the tent into the space, groped for the ladder beside her, and climbed down little by little.

I wonder how pleasant it would be to take a hot bath on this day, what a pity.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in her mind, and she had to plan it out carefully. The girl crawled into the cold bed and curled herself up into a small shape.

She has been staying in the village recently, and her brain has become much slower. It is said that people should not be idle, otherwise they will easily suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

Why didn't she think of storing some hot water in the fresh-keeping space? That way, there would always be hot water available. Her brain was really rusty a while ago.

Lan Wangshu busily began to build a stove in the bathroom so that the gases from the burning carbon could flow directly out through the opening in the glass window through the pipe.

After being busy for a long time, she finally took the hot bath she had been longing for. When she was about to fall asleep, she heard a loud knock on the door.

Lan Wangshu had no choice but to get out of the bathtub, change his clothes, and wrap himself tightly with a mink coat.

After taking down the wood across the door, Wang Erniu appeared at her door.

"Miss Lan, the person is missing."

His face was full of anxiety and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he had been running all the way here.

"What do you mean someone is missing?"

“Everyone in our village is gone.”

Lan Wangshu originally didn't intend to care about these things. She had no relationship with these people. As for where they went, it was their business. Seeing that half of her own people was so anxious, she decided to go and look for them.

"Have you informed others?"

"I talked to the village chief's son, and he told me to come find you first."

As soon as Lan Wangshu arrived, he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, and Cang Wenyuan walked over quickly.

"I have asked people to protect the traces here, but many people came here out of curiosity, and there were so many footsteps that it was difficult to distinguish them."

The girl nodded and began to walk around. She went to the place where they often cooked. There was a thin layer of ice crystals on the ashes. They probably hadn't been here for a while, at least they didn't cook today.

She looked at the sun overhead; these people had been gone since at least morning.

"how's it going?"

Cang Wenyuan also saw the ashes on the ground, his brows furrowed, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Come over here, a few people, and see if there is any food around."

Lan Wangshu would ask Wang Erniu to deliver food every dinner time. He needed to confirm the time when these people would leave.

More than a dozen people conducted a thorough search of the surroundings, but did not find a single grain of rice. Even the straw mats and old clothes were gone.

There were no footprints around, as if these people had disappeared out of thin air.

No one could believe such a conclusion. Where did so many people go?

“This is not right.”

Cang Wenyuan stepped hard on the snow under his feet. It was very compact. There was no snow yesterday, which meant they had left at the latest last night.

He stated this conclusion and Lan Wangshu did not interrupt. This was exactly the same conclusion as hers, except that she had figured out one problem.

"Forget it, let's just leave. We can still save some food."

"That's right. We are not their parents. Why should we care about them?"

Wang Erniu suddenly knelt on the ground, covered his face, and began to cry loudly.

Everyone realized that there was still someone in the village. They felt a little embarrassed, and except for the patrollers, everyone went back home.

"why are you crying?"

Lan Wangshu lowered his eyes, and Wang Erniu immediately saw the embroidered shoes in front of him. Looking up, he saw Lan Wangshu's calm eyes.

"I knew this day would come, but they still abandoned me."

"You care about them?"

Wang Erniu stopped crying and thought carefully. It seemed that there was no reason. It was just that they had known each other for more than 20 years, and they suddenly left him behind, which made him feel uncomfortable and lost.

"I……"

"Get up. We have things to do. They must have left in a certain direction. Look around. There is no trace. Isn't that strange?"

Cang Wenyuan walked in front of her, blocking the cold wind. He saw that Lan Wangshu's hair had turned a little white and hard, and it was obvious that she had wet hair.

Lan Wangshu smiled gratefully at Cang Wenyuan. He didn't expect that this cheap brother was so thoughtful.

"You mean they didn't leave on their own."

Cang Wenyuan looked at the somewhat fragile little girl in front of him and still wanted to see what was in her mind.

"It's just a guess."

Lan Wangshu curled her lips indifferently. She couldn't be sure and it wasn't like she could predict the future.

"How to say."

Wang Erniu no longer felt awkward and listened to her quietly.

"Would a normal person choose to leave in the middle of the night? It's pitch dark and you can't see anything, and the weather is extremely cold. I don't deliver much food every day, but I can bring out the food in the morning. Even if they distribute the food, they will not be silent."

"Yeah, they're bound to make a fuss. There's food, so some people are definitely not willing to leave."
