Zhao Er, who was in a semi-comatose state, slightly opened his eyes at Jin Chu's repeated calls. Looking at his sister under the light, he opened his dry and chapped lips and called out uncertainly, "Sister?"

Jin Chu nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes, hugged Zhao'er tighter, and comforted her softly: "It's sister, sister came to see Zhao'er. Sister bought Zhao'er a lot of delicious food, including snacks, pork, and a big fragrant roast chicken..."

When he heard about roast chicken, Zhao'er couldn't help swallowing and licked his chapped lower lip with his tongue.

Jinchu's eyes lit up, and she began to coax him, "Sister knows Zhao'er is having a hard time. Zhao'er, be strong and don't sleep. Come home with sister and eat roast chicken before going to bed, okay?"

Zhao'er nodded slightly, forced her eyes open, and replied, "Okay, Zhao'er, listen to your sister. Zhao'er won't sleep."

Seeing this, everyone knew that time was running out. Fudan's father, Liu Shengli, immediately leaned over and said, "Miss Jin'er, quickly help Zhao'er up. Let's go home quickly and find a doctor to check on the child."

Jin Chu did not refuse, but just said, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Liu!" Then she let go of Zhao'er in her arms, and several people hurried forward to put Zhao'er on Liu Shengli's back.

Uncle Liu led the way in front, Liu Shengli followed closely behind with Zhao'er on his back, Jinchu followed behind Zhao'er, and Ernou's father Wang Quanxi walked at the back, holding Li Dabao, who was slapped against the stone wall by Jinchu and had a bleeding head.

"Brother Quanxi, please let me go. The mountain is high and the cliffs are steep. I can't run away even if I want to." Li Hunzi begged Wang Ernao's father in a low voice.

"Li Dabao, do you think what you did is humane? Although Zhao'er isn't from our village, he has lived here for a few years! You've watched him grow up, and you're so cruel to a child this old! Don't you feel guilty?"

"Brother Quanxi, I'm not planning on doing anything to that kid," Li Hunzi said stubbornly. "Didn't you all see it just now? Isn't the kid safe and sound?"

Wang Quanxi flew into a rage. "Bah! You're kidding me! If we hadn't arrived in time, who in the world wouldn't know what you would have done to Zhao'er? It's not that you didn't do anything to him, it's that you didn't have time to do anything to him! Are you thinking we're all blind?"

There was another "pop" sound, and Li Hunzi shouted, "Brother Quanxi, you've said it, but why did you hit me?"

"I'm hitting you, you despicable thing! You still have the nerve to say that Zhao'er is safe and sound? Look at the scars all over the child now. You've tortured him into such a state! A slap in the face now is too light. You'll be in for it when you get back!"

Wang Quanxi's words were heard clearly by several people. Uncle Liu, who was at the front, advised, "Quanxi, don't say too much to him. Be careful on your way. We'll settle the score with him when we get home."

Then came the voice of "OK, OK, OK".

Jin Chu thought as he walked, although Wang Quanxi looked rough, he was actually a man with a lot of ideas.

The reason why he acted like this towards Li Hunzi just now was, on the one hand, that he really sympathized with Zhao'er, but on the other hand, he pushed all the injuries Zhao'er had suffered onto Li Dabao, secretly whitewashing his own son!

No matter what, I finally found Zhao'er tonight!

As for their little thoughts, she was too lazy to care and didn't intend to pay attention to them. Zhao'er was the most important thing now.

The group of people carefully went down the cliff, each with their own thoughts. When the three Sun family members below saw Zhao'er, they immediately smiled happily.

"Bless me, Bodhisattva! I finally found Zhao'er!" Sun clasped her hands together and kept repeating to herself.

This time, she expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart. Now that Zhao'er has returned, her Fudan is completely worry-free.

At this time, Fudan had already run to his father's side in two steps. Looking at Zhao'er, whose eyes were half closed, he showed a look of regret. As if he was afraid of scaring Zhao'er, he called out in a very low voice: "Zhao'er, Zhao'er."

Zhao Er, who was already half asleep, shuddered at the sound of the call, and all sleepiness disappeared immediately. He shivered and called out, "Sister, sister, I'm scared."

Jinchu quickly held his hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Zhao'er. Sister is here. No one can hurt you. Let's go home and eat roast chicken!"

Fudan, with a red face, stood there in a daze.

Sun couldn't bear to see her son in such an awkward state, so she pulled him over and whispered, "Now that Zhao'er has been found, you and Ernao should stay out of his way, lest anything bad happen to him and be blamed on us again."

After being called out by Fudan, Zhao'er actually perked up a bit, and Jinchu finally had the energy to think about other things.

Seeing Mrs. Sun standing by, she bluntly ordered, "Aunt Sun, although Zhao'er has been found, his condition is worrying. You should take the two children and hurry back. When you get to the village, please ask a doctor to wait at my house!"

"Ah? Call a doctor? Isn't Zhao'er back? I think this child is pretty good, why do we still need to call a doctor?" Sun looked disapproving.

"Which eye of yours saw that Zhao'er was in good condition?" Jin Chu asked coldly, word by word.

"Just go and get the doctor if I tell you to! You talk too much! It would be best if Zhao'er is fine. It would also make me feel relieved if a doctor comes to see him." After putting Zhao'er down, Liu Shengli, who was still breathing heavily, glared at his wife and spoke rarely.

"Liu Shengli, you! How dare you yell at me!" Sun stood up straight with her hands on her hips, and her arrogance was instantly released.

"Sun! Is this the time for you to act like a spoiled brat?" Grandpa Fudan, who had been silent all this time, shouted loudly.

Seeing her father-in-law glaring at her, Sun couldn't help but breathe a little harder. She muttered softly, "Why did he insist on calling in a doctor when everything was fine? In the middle of the night, don't you know how much money it would cost to call in a doctor? Life is already tight, and you're still throwing money around."

"Ms. Sun, I will pay for the doctor's visit. You should take the children back to see the doctor!" Uncle Liu shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that her father-in-law paid out of his own pocket, Sun was immediately satisfied. If she didn't have to pay for it herself, she would be very easy to talk to. She turned around and shouted, "Fudan, Ernao, let's go back first." After that, she led the two of them away.

"This woman is only interested in money!" Liu Shengli looked at Sun's back and cursed angrily.

After resting for a while, it was Erno's father's turn. Wang Quanxi carried Zhao'er on his back, while Liu Shengli stared at Li Hunzi, and everyone continued to walk towards home.

The journey was very smooth and everyone walked relatively fast. Zhao'er was no longer as nervous as before, and his little head was about to fall asleep again. Jinchu could only call his name all the way, tell stories, and ask questions, and only then did he barely make it to the village entrance.

From a distance, they saw Huizhen and Weiyue standing there. Jinchu pulled Zhaoer and said, "Zhaoer, look, Sister Huizhen and Brother Weiyue are waiting for you. You have to be strong. Brother Weiyue also brought you a copybook. You can practice calligraphy according to the copybook in the future."

Zhao'er forced himself to open his eyes, hummed, and then he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
