"Third brother, is your leg better?"

It has been several days since Mu Tou fell at the threshold of the Bodhisattva Temple, but he still walks with a limp.

If someone who didn’t know saw it, they would think his leg was broken.

"See for yourself!"

Mu Tou rolled up the right leg of his trousers and let Tian Xiaoman see.

Although several days have passed, the area is still covered with green and purple.

"Did you see that? I almost fell and left my lower leg there. People say that the Bodhisattva at Pudu Temple is very powerful. If he was, how could he have fallen like this when he went to worship the Bodhisattva?"

"You child! What are you talking about? How can you say that the Bodhisattva is ineffective? Come on, spit with your mother. Spit a few times quickly, then the Bodhisattva won't blame you."

Mu Tou secretly stuck out his tongue and quickly ran out of the yard. He no longer limped as he did just now. Wang was so angry that she stood there and scolded him for a long time before returning to the house.

Tian Xiaoman shook his head helplessly. This third brother, he's obviously fine, why is he still pretending to limp?

Look! Now the truth is revealed.

When Wang's shadow could no longer be seen, Mutou's head poked in from outside the courtyard gate, "Little sister, where is mother?"

"Mom is still busy cooking, how can she have time to take care of you?"

Mu Tou chuckled and kept waving at Tian Xiaoman.

"I'm going to play with Tietou, do you want to come? Xiao Miao was still talking about you last time. She said she hadn't seen you for a long time."

"Okay, then I'll go with you. Wait for me to talk to mom."

Mu Tou quickly waved at Tian Xiaoman, signaling Tian Xiaoman to go quickly. As for himself, he hid outside the courtyard gate again.

The brother and sister walked all the way from the south end of the village to the north end. They were almost able to farm. There seemed to be more people walking around in the village. From time to time, they could see people carrying hoes or coming back from burning straw.

As soon as he entered the yard of his third grandfather's house, Tian Xiaoman saw Xiaomiao and her three sisters standing in the yard and talking.

After the first month of the lunar year, my third grandfather had revised the family tree and changed the surnames of the three Xu sisters to Tian. Now they are formal members of the Tian family.

Compared to when I first met them, the three Zhaodi sisters looked much better, but they were still thin.

Well, it's impossible to recover the damaged body in a short time.

However, the clothes the three sisters were wearing had been changed into ones that fit them well and were obviously newly made, which showed that the three sisters were living a good life in Tianjia Village.

"What are you talking about? It's so noisy, I can hear your voices before I even enter the yard."

When Xiaomiao saw Tian Xiaoman, she smiled and put her arm around Tian Xiaoman.

As if he had discovered something, Tian Xiaomiao pointed to the top of his head and then to the top of Tian Xiaoman's head with his hand.

"Sister Xiaoman, why do I feel like you've grown taller? The difference between us wasn't this big before!"

Tian Xiaoman puffed out her chest proudly. These days, many people said that she had grown taller.

It’s good to be tall. She is the shortest in the family and she doesn’t want to hold the whole family back.

The second sister is almost a head taller than her now. She is estimated to be at least 1.68 meters tall if not 1.7 meters tall. Only she is not even 1.5 meters tall. How pitiful!

Her parents are not short, and her two brothers and one sister are all tall. She is the only one who seems to have come out of Lilliput. She feels unbalanced!

Fortunately, she has finally grown taller these days. Now it seems that if she eats well, drinks well and exercises well, her height will continue to grow.

Tian Xiaoman doesn't ask to grow to 1.7 meters tall, 1.6 meters would be fine.

"What are you talking about?"

Speaking of this, Tian Xiaomiao lowered his voice and said, "We were talking about the girls who were missing in Pinglin County recently."

"Is there a girl missing? Has she been kidnapped? Has the government failed to solve the case?"

Tian Xiaomiao shook her head. "Who knows? Anyway, my mother told me and Sister Zhaodi not to run around these days. We should try not to leave the village for anything. Even if we are walking around in the village, we have to travel with someone."

Tian Xiaoman nodded. Aunt Shanxing’s concerns were justified, but...

"Isn't it the grown-up girl who was lost? Are we half-grown girls also in danger?"

Tian Xiaomiao nodded vigorously, "A half-grown girl is still a girl. My mother said that a grown girl is a blooming flower, and we half-grown girls are just buds waiting to bloom. We are just as crooked as a crook."

Tian Xiaoman looked at Xiaomiao's cute appearance and couldn't help pinching her chubby face.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoman, why are you pinching me? No, it's only fair that I pinch you too."

For a while, Tian Xiaoman and Tian Xiaomiao were in a mess.

The three Zhaodi sisters looked at the two laughing little girls with envy in their eyes. In the end, the fun ended with Tian Xiaoman's overwhelming victory.

Happy times are always short. Tian Xiaoman felt that it had not been long yet, and Mu Tou had already called her to go home together.

On the way back, Mu Tou told Tian Xiaoman about the recent disappearance of a young girl in the county town. He also told Tian Xiaoman to tell his second sister about it when he got back, and to be careful even when walking around in the village.

Tian Xiaoman: Whoever dares to kidnap my second sister must think his life is too long!

My second sister is of that kind of personality and if the kidnapper dares to kidnap her, I'm afraid my second sister will turn the kidnapper's nest upside down.

Tian Xiaoman didn't take this matter seriously at all. In her opinion, she stayed at home most of the day, so how could she be abducted?

Little did they know that at this moment, two figures were coming towards Tianjia Village.

The two figures were one fat and one thin, of medium height, both men in their early twenties.

"Fatty, are we in the right place? Is this Tianjia Village ahead?"

"Don't worry, I can't be wrong. I've been to this place before, so I won't go the wrong way. Skinny monkey..." The fat man was panting with exhaustion. He stopped right after saying a word, resting his hands on his legs and breathing heavily.

"I really don't know what the boss was thinking. He made us run so far to catch an unknown girl. Why? It's really tiring for us two brothers."

The skinny monkey's eyes rolled around, and it was obvious that he knew more than the fat man. "You don't know this, right? I heard that this family offended 'that person'."

"That one?"

"Yes, that person specifically went to find the boss and wanted him to teach this family a lesson. It just so happens that a lot of girls have been captured in our village recently. If we capture their daughter, we can also conceal the truth and prevent people from knowing that this matter is related to 'that person'."

"Who is that person? Why are you being so unclear?"

The thin guy didn't want to say more, so he laughed and changed the subject.

The two men rested for a while, and until their panting finally subsided, they continued to head towards Tianjia Village.
