Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

After Xu Weiwei left, half an hour later, everyone in the room woke up one by one. No one gathered together to discuss any group activities, but relaxed on their own tacitly.

Some were playing games in their rooms, some were standing by the window looking at the scenery, and some were making jam with the fruits picked in the morning... They were completely unaware that there was one less person at home.

On the other hand, Xu Weiwei, who went out to explore alone, walked and stopped from time to time, stopping to observe the landmarks. After all, she had to return the original route, and it would be too embarrassing if she got lost and waited for her parents to rescue her.

Not far away, she came across a flower field. The colorful wild flowers were exactly the same as the ones in the vase at home. I guess my mother and the others must have picked them here in the morning.

There were many bees and butterflies flying around the flower fields, collecting nectar. Some of them were so fat that the flowers could not hold them up, and their stems were bent to the ground. Xu Weiwei thought it was cute and recorded it.

After admiring it for a while, Xu Weiwei continued walking forward. Maybe because the sun was not so strong in the afternoon, more people were out and about, and Xu Weiwei ran into a few people walking with farm tools.

The strange thing was that everyone would stare at her, and even turn around to continue looking after passing by, which made Xu Weiwei feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to take another route to avoid passers-by, but she didn't expect that they would walk directly into the village.

There are few houses in the mountains, and they are blocked by vegetation and terrain, unlike the villages in the plains that can be recognized from a distance.

She realized it only by the neat stone road under her feet and the house with the sign "Shop". Thinking back, it seemed that they passed by this place when they entered the mountain.

"Uh-huh-huh."

A very familiar voice came from above her head. Xu Weiwei looked up subconsciously. A woman in her thirties was standing by the edge of her yard, greeting her - in the same voice as when she was greeting chickens, ducks, geese and dogs for dinner.

Xu Weiwei: ...Are you polite?

"Little girl, where are your parents?" the woman asked, holding a winnowing basket.

"Sleeping." Xu Weiwei told the truth.

"How can you be a parent? You are so irresponsible!" The woman threw the dustpan down and said angrily. "Stand there and don't move, baby~"

The woman disappeared from upstairs and came down the front steps a moment later. She picked up Xu Weiwei without saying anything and returned to her yard.

"Why did you come out alone?"

"I came out for a walk." I'm not lost, so don't worry.

The woman burst out laughing: "Walking...Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter, taking a walk..."

Xu Weiwei's face turned black. What's so funny? What's so funny? Do children have to laugh at everything they say? Stop laughing. Can you respect her for a moment?

"Ouch~" The woman wiped her eyes and laughed until tears came out. "Whose child are you? Who did you come from? Do you know your parents' names?"

There weren't many people living in the mountains, and everyone knew the family and children. This little girl didn't look like them at all, and her dress wasn't like that of a local either. One could tell she was from outside.

Either they were tourists who came to the mountains to pick fruits, or they were trafficked here. However, looking at Xu Weiwei's expression, the woman thought the second possibility was unlikely. But to be on the safe side, she still asked a few more questions.

"My parents, grandparents brought me here. My last name is Sifos."

"Siphos? You are not from here, are you here to have fun?"

The woman was young and didn't pay attention to politics, so she didn't react much when she heard the surname.

Xu nodded slightly: "Yeah."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, as she was sure that the child was not abducted.

Imperial law stipulates that anyone who kidnaps or sells children shall be sentenced to death, and buying or selling children shall be punished as well. Others who know about the case but fail to report it shall be punished by association, and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined, depending on the degree of concealment or shielding.

There was once a village where all the people disappeared overnight, and the people around thought something supernatural had happened. Later it was discovered that someone in the village had found a lost child and, hoping for the best, raised the child.

The couple had a great idea. They didn't abduct the child, the child bumped into them on his own. They were doing a good deed, they couldn't just ignore the child and let him starve to death, could they?

The villagers felt sorry for the couple who lost their child at an early age, so they condoned this behavior. As a result, the biological parents of the child called the police, and the police came and arrested everyone in the village and put them in jail.

"Do you remember the way back?"

Xu Weiwei thought for a moment and said, "I should remember it."

Woman: "...Don't worry about it. Just stay here and wait for your parents to come look for you. If they don't come in the evening, I will go with you to look for them."

"!"

How can this be?! Her parents would be so worried. And she was just out for fun. How could she be locked up in a stranger's house?! She has lost her personal freedom.

Xu Weiwei had a blank expression on her face. She stood up and walked towards the door.

The woman grabbed her backpack. Xu Weiwei escaped quickly and stretched out her right hand: "Give me back my backpack."

"If you don't leave, I'll give it to you."

“That’s my schoolbag!”

"I know, you little girl may be small in stature, but you have a bad temper." The woman teased her deliberately.

Xu Weiwei was about to explode with anger. She finally understood what people say about red pandas: "When you are not strong enough, even if you are angry, others will think you are being cute." It turns out that only when you are in the same position can you empathize.

Knowing that women are also responsible, and for her own safety, Xu Weiwei tried her best to remain calm and said, "Then you just watch me go back now, okay?"

"No, I'm busy right now. I have to feed the chickens, make pig food, and do laundry."

Xu Weiwei: ...Okay, you're awesome. I shouldn't have followed you up here...

"How about this, you stay here for two hours and I'll make you something delicious after I'm done?"

"What's delicious?" Xu Weiwei asked doubtfully.

"It's a secret. It's something you have never eaten before." The woman said mysteriously.

This made Xu Weiwei curious. She couldn't leave now, so she could only listen to this woman. She wanted to see what this rare thing was.

Although Xu Weiwei agreed, the woman was still worried, so she closed the gate and locked it tightly. If Xu Weiwei went out, there would definitely be some noise.

Walking in the mountains, here, dead.
