Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

After Uncle Wang came out of Doctor Wei's house, it was getting dark. Every household had turned on the lights. The moonlight was covered by clouds, without a single ray of light. With the help of the dim light, he drove the cattle to Sister Xuyuan in the dark.

At this time, the edge of Xuyuan's yard was filled with freshly picked peanuts, which were covered with bamboo mats. There were also several bamboo mats rolled up next to them, with grains piled inside, making the whole yard seem narrower.

When Uncle Wang drove the ox cart over, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, but it seemed that the ox cart had no place to go in.

"Uncle Wang, why are you back so late? Have you eaten yet? Why don't you come in for a meal?"

"Dahua, please park outside the house for now. I'll make room after I pack these up."

"Why are you still cleaning up these so late? Have you eaten?"

"No, they are doing it inside."

Xuyuan dusted himself off and walked out.

"Ok?"

"Uncle Wang, where did the child come from?"

"Could it be your grandson who has been lost for many years?"

Xuyuan had a wild imagination and joked.

Uncle Wang stopped the car and took the child Tianle down from the stroller.

Tianle felt dazed and heard some noises. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids.

"You are such a thoughtful girl."

"It would be nice if it was, but what a pity, this is something the old man picked up on the road. I don't know whose child it is. The parents must be worried if they lost their child."

"Picked it up? How could it have ended up in this deep mountain? It's so winding and winding here."

"Who knows? The child was in a coma the whole time and I didn't ask."

Uncle Wang gently patted the back of the little figure in his arms and touched his forehead, which felt a little hot. He saw the little figure in his arms move, open his eyes, and look confused.

The little hands tightly clasped Uncle Wang's neck, and the little figure stuck closely to Uncle Wang.

"Child, you're awake. Don't be afraid. We're in a safe place now."

"Uncle Wang, why don't you come in? The child hasn't eaten for a day and must be hungry. Come in and have a bite."

The light was dim, and a small figure was hugging Uncle Wang tightly. He looked a little pitiful, and was about the same age as Xiaoduo.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, girl."

Xu Yuan greeted Uncle Wang into the kitchen, where food was being cooked.

Guozi and Xuxiu were adding firewood to the stove. Xuyuan was cooking. When they saw Uncle Wang coming in, they greeted him one after another.

He looked at the little figure in his arms with great curiosity.

Tianle looked around in his arms. There was a fragrant smell of dried fish, and the furnishings here were similar to those at home, which made it quite cozy.

Until the kind-hearted grandfather helped him sit on a stool.

Suddenly I heard a familiar child's voice, and I raised my head and looked over uncertainly.

Sanmu was slightly stunned.

"what?"

"what?"

Tianle blinked in disbelief, "Huh?"

Xiaoduo and Guozi quickly got up and ran over.

Tianle stood up immediately.

"A Le, what's wrong with you? How did you get here? What's wrong with your body? Does it hurt?" Guozi said excitedly.

Now it was Uncle Wang and Xu Yuan's turn to be confused.

"Do you know?"

"Do you know who this child is?"

Fruit and Many nodded.

……

Several people sat quietly on the stools and looked at Tianle.

"I... My name is Tian Tianle, and I live in Zhuhou Village. I lost contact with my father in the county town. It was all my fault that I was playful and wandered around and took the wrong road. I ended up in a very remote place with very few people. I was very scared and kept crying as I walked. Then I met some strange uncles who asked me where I was going. I thought they looked very fierce. My father told me not to talk to strange uncles, so I ignored them and ran away before they could react. I didn't expect them to chase me, so I kept running around until I reached a crowded place so they wouldn't catch me."

"Then I hid in a cart loaded with hay and accidentally followed it out of the city gate. I knew the way home, so I got off the car when it stopped. I ran into the woods, but I couldn't run any longer, so I hid in the grass and caught my breath."

"I didn't expect that group of people would find me and chase me to catch me."

"I had no choice but to run around. Luckily I met Grandpa Wang, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

"woo woo woo woo."

After saying that, Tianle started crying again.

"Don't cry, Ale, you are in our village now, you are safe, don't be afraid."

"Yes, Brother Ale, come on, you must be hungry, come and eat."

"Tianle, it's okay. You are lucky to have met Grandpa Wang. I will wait for you tomorrow and send you home when you are well."

"Well, thank you Grandpa Wang." Tianle wiped his tears while shoveling food into his mouth.

After the meal, Uncle Wang left Tianle at Xuyuan. After all, the child felt safe having familiar friends here.

He placed the medicinal herbs he got from Doctor Wei on the table, told Xu Yuan to make a wish, and then left the hospital.

"Uncle Wang, I'll take you there. It's faster to take a bullock cart."

"Okay." Uncle Wang didn't hesitate and got into the car directly.

Xuyuan put a torch on the car to light up the road ahead and drove towards Uncle Wang's house.

……

There was only one lamp left on in Uncle Wang's yard, burning faintly.

Hearing the noise, the door of the house next door was pushed open.

Xu Yuan drove the ox cart to the place, dropped off Uncle Wang, said hello to Uncle Liu who had just come out, and left.

Uncle Liu came out with an oil lamp in his hand. "Okay, I hope you can drive the carriage and watch the road."

Then he looked at Grandpa Wang who was walking into the courtyard, "Old Wang, why are you here so late? The old man is almost going to sleep. By the way, have you eaten? There's some in the pot."

"I ate it. I ate it at the place where I made a wish. I did a good deed today, so I was delayed for a while."

"Hey, what's good?"

The two old men chatted and sat on the bamboo benches in the yard.

"It's a great fortune that an old man like me found a lost child who was running around."

Uncle Liu looked around and asked, "Where's the child?"

"Oh, that child is from Takego Village. Many of the Wakashi know him. Since several of the children are familiar with each other, we let them stay together."

"I'm suspicious. The big incident in the county last time hasn't been cleaned up yet, and now it's starting again." Uncle Wang told Uncle Liu about his conspiracy theory mysteriously.

"If our village takes children to the county town recently, we need to ask the villagers to keep a close eye on them."

"In that case, it's better not to bring him to the county town and wait until this storm has passed."

The two old men chatted for a while, then went into their respective houses. Soon after, the lights went out one after another, and silence fell.
