90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

When Xie Yan thought of these past events, complex emotions surged in her heart.

She remembered that when she was a child, her cousin Xie Anyi was so lively and cheerful, and always took her to play together.

When Xie Anyi was sent back to Xiangjiazhai, her changes shocked everyone.

The once beautiful girl became haggard, with empty eyes, as if she had lost her soul.

People in the village pointed fingers at her. In that secluded little village, everyone's life was full of hardships, and many people spread rumors about Xie Anyi with malicious intent.

Xie Anyi's marriage did not bring her any happiness. Her husband, her third uncle's cousin, was not a considerate and gentle person.

He treated Xie Anyi coldly and even rudely, which made Xie Anyi's life even more miserable.

She spends every day doing housework and is occasionally beaten and scolded by her husband.

This kind of life lasted for several years until one day, Xie Anyi finally collapsed.

She began to frequently become dazed and cry, and sometimes even behaved strangely, which made people around her think that she was completely crazy.

When Xie Yan saw Xie Anyi again, she almost didn't recognize her cousin.

The woman in front of me looked haggard, with no light in her eyes. She had completely lost hope in life.

Xie Anyi's child, a six-year-old boy, snuggled up to his mother and called "Mom" in his childish voice.

This scene made Xie Yan feel heartbroken. She couldn't imagine how Xie Anyi had survived all these years and what she had experienced.

She really wanted to save Xie Anyi, but at the time, she herself was in dire straits and didn't even have a place to stay, so how could she help her cousin?!

"Xie Yan, Xie Yan, come out! I'm Xie Anyi! Come out quickly! My brother and I will take you to catch pheasants!"

Xie Anyi's voice was full of excitement and anticipation. She was wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans that were washed a little pale, and a pair of old green black-toed leather sneakers on her feet, looking particularly lively.

Hearing Xie Anyi's call, Xie Yan poked her head out of the house with a trace of pity and a sigh of seeing an old friend again on her face.

Xie Yan was wearing a simple white T-shirt and her hair was casually tied into a ponytail with an elastic band, looking neat and tidy.

There is a certain gap between children in towns and children in mountain villages. Xie Yan's clothes are obviously better than those of the other two children.

"Cousin, wait a moment, I'll be there soon!" Xie Yan responded, turned around and ran back into the house, quickly put on a pair of light shoes, and then took a straw hat and put it on her head to prevent the scorching sun from burning her skin.

She hurried out the door and came in front of Xie Anyi.

"Where are you going to catch pheasants?" Xie Yan asked, her eyes full of anticipation. She was still very happy to spend her summer vacation like a little girl.

"It's in the woods behind the village, where pheasants often appear," Xie Anyi replied with a smile. Her brother Xie Anming stood nearby, holding a homemade bird net, looking very professional. "My brother has prepared the tools, we're sure to catch a lot today."

Xie Anming is a tall young man with skin tanned by the sun, but his eyes reveal determination and intelligence.

He nodded and smiled at Xie Yan: "Let's go, while the weather is not too hot, let's set off quickly."

The three of them jogged along the path in the field, passed through the green rice fields, and came to the small woods behind the village.

The woods are densely populated, and you can occasionally hear birds singing. The air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and leaves.

They carefully shuttled through the woods. The dead branches and leaves under their feet made a slight rustling sound, which intertwined with the occasional chirping of cicadas in the distance, forming a vivid summer pastoral picture.

Xie Anyi walked in front. She had sharp eyes and extremely sensitive ears. She always paid attention to the movements around her, for fear of missing any sign of the pheasant appearing.

"Brother, look over there!" Xie Anyi suddenly stopped and pointed to a bush not far away, her voice full of excitement.

Xie Anming immediately became nervous when he heard this. He gently put down the bird net in his hand, signaled everyone to keep quiet, and then slowly approached the bushes.

Xie Yan followed closely behind, her heart beating faster, she was both nervous and excited. At this moment, she was like a little girl of eight or nine years old.

However, when they approached the bushes, they unexpectedly discovered a shocking scene - a faint baby crying sound came from the bushes. The voice was weak and shrill, and it was calling for its mother helplessly.

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment and confusion. How could there be a baby crying in this desolate mountain?

"Is... there a ghost?" Xie Anyi asked nervously and fearfully.

Xie Yan smiled, patted her forehead and said, "Stop watching horror movies. It's broad daylight now, where are the ghosts?"

Xie Anming was the first to react. He carefully pushed aside the bushes, fearing that he might hurt something.

Then, a small figure wrapped in blue coarse cloth came into view, and the baby girl's belly button could be seen from the part not covered by the cloth.

This is a baby girl whose umbilical cord has not even been cut. She curled up there, her little face flushed red from crying, and her small body looked particularly helpless under the scorching sun.

"Oh my God, a baby? This is a baby?" Xie Anyi couldn't help but exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.

Xie Yan's heart also tightened. She had never thought that she would find a baby girl in the dense forest not far from Xiangjiazhai!

This place is inhabited by wild wolves and bears! If we leave the baby girl here, won't she just be fed to the wild beasts?

"Hurry, we have to take her home." Xie Yan made a prompt decision. She gently picked up the baby girl, her movements gentle and careful, for fear of hurting her.

Xie Anming, however, spoke up to stop them: "Wait, Xie Yan, Anyi, we have to wait a moment."

Xie Anming's words were steady and calm, and he looked deeply at the baby girl wrapped in blue cloth.

"Brother, what do you mean? Are we going to leave her here?" Xie Anyi asked in confusion, with a hint of anxiety and reluctance in her tone.

Xie Yan also stopped and looked at Xie Anming, waiting for his answer.

"That's not what I meant," Xie Anming explained, shaking his head. "What I meant was that we need to first confirm whether this baby was abandoned here. Perhaps her parents are nearby and just left temporarily. If we take her away, her parents might be worried."

"Cousin, look here, the umbilical cord hasn't even been cut. She must have been thrown here shortly after she was born." Xie Yan pointed at the baby girl's umbilical cord under the blue coarse cloth, her tone full of determination.

Xie Anyi also nodded, indicating that she agreed with Xie Yan's opinion.
