Thinking this to herself, Lin Cai suddenly tightened her arms and felt a tight grip around her neck, thinking the little girl was scared.

He patted the little girl and coaxed her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we'll just walk around outside, we won't go inside."

If she were alone, she could go inside and take a look, but now that she has a little girl with her, she can't take the risk.

They went up the mountain, and the three brothers from the village, nicknamed "Big Hammer," returned home to find that the two men were not there. They searched everywhere but could not find them, and they were frantic with worry.

After waiting for several hours and still not seeing the two return, Da Chui took his two younger brothers and ran to the village chief's house.

"Village Chief Uncle, Village Chief Uncle, help me!" Ershi shouted loudly as soon as he reached the door.

The alarmed village chief ran out of his house and, seeing the three brothers approaching, quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? What happened?"

"Spring flowers, spring flowers, spring flowers are gone."

Sanhu rushed over in a panic. Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately looked at Dachui and asked, "What do you mean? Aren't they all at home? Where are they?"

"No, no, nobody's home..."

Upon hearing this, the village chief slapped his thigh: "This Lin Cai, why can't she be honest!"

Then they quickly called for help, summoning everyone in the village who was available and able to move around, and the whole village started searching.

They searched from morning till afternoon, and it was getting dark, but they still hadn't found the person.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said, "Could they be going to town?"

“If Lin Cai really wants to do something, she’ll definitely go to town. Besides, we’ve searched the village for so long, inside and out, and we haven’t found her… Maybe she is…”

"Maybe my ass! Did you see it with your own eyes? Did you hear it?"

"You saw nothing, you heard nothing, yet you're spouting nonsense. How can your heart be so black?"

Upon hearing someone slander his sister, Lin Bao immediately jumped out and launched a tirade against the person.

"Lin Bao, what do you mean by that? How am I heartless? Am I not telling the truth?"

"Lin Cai has always been dishonest. Only your family treats her like a treasure. No one said anything about what she did before, but now..."

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's find the person first! Do you think arguing will make them come back on their own?"

The village chief spoke up, and everyone stopped arguing. Then they went to look for someone.

Lin Cai led Xiao Chunhua around the outer edge of the mountain and saw some fruit, but they didn't take any.

There are too many fruits. Not only is it difficult to pick them all, but even if you did pick them all, you probably wouldn't be able to carry them all with you.

She could only take Xiaochunhua to see if there was anything else.

As they circled around and prepared to circle again, Lin Cai suddenly stopped and placed Xiao Chunhua on a rock.

"Stay here quietly and don't move. I'll be back in a little while, understand?"

Xiao Chunhua nodded, but Lin Cai was still a little worried. She gave a few more instructions and, after confirming that the little girl wouldn't run around, she quietly walked into the bushes.

When she saw the two rabbits in the grass, Lin Cai immediately smiled.

She really hadn't misheard; she heard the sound of rabbits eating grass, which made her think there might be some herbivores around.

Surprisingly, there were two rabbits here, and two adult rabbits at that.

The rabbits were lying there eating grass. They didn't move when Lin Cai approached, but Lin Cai tentatively took two more steps closer.

Finding that the two rabbits still hadn't moved, she suddenly had a guess in her mind, and this time she didn't tiptoe.

Instead, she walked straight over and made such a commotion before she could catch the two rabbits, yet neither of them ran away.

Looking at the rabbit in her hand, Lin Cai thought of her refrigerator: "Is this... a double-hung refrigerator?"

She didn't understand what the 'hook' was for, but having caught two rabbits, she had at least had a reward for the day.

The rabbit was tied up, and Lin Cai took Xiao Chunhua for another walk in the woods. As it was getting dark, she quickly took the rabbit and Xiao Chunhua and headed down the mountain.

As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she heard someone calling her. She was still wondering, since the original owner had such a bad reputation in the village, who in the village would want to find her?

As soon as she came into their sight, they shouted, "Found her! Found her! Here she is! Here she is!"

"Everyone come quick! Lin Cai and her child are here."

"What's wrong? You guys..."

Before Lin Cai could understand what was happening, she saw someone rush over and snatch Xiao Chunhua away, the rabbit was also taken away, and she was imprisoned.

After realizing what was happening, she looked at those people and said, "What are you doing? Don't you know that what you're doing is illegal?"

"Lin Cai, you vicious woman, how dare you tell us you've broken the law? When you took the child away, when you sold the child, did you never think about breaking the law?"

"That's right! Lin Cai, how dare you criticize others? Why don't you talk about yourself?"

“You’ve sold the child. I think you’ve broken the law. You should be the one taken to the authorities.”

Lin Cai didn't understand what they were saying at all; all she knew was that her arms were in excruciating pain.

She tried to struggle, but the person behind her was holding her too tightly, and she felt pain with every movement.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand a word! What do you mean by selling children? Who sold children?"

Did she sell her child?

Isn't Xiaochunhua over there?

When did she sell her child?

Which of their eyes saw her sell Xiaochunhua?

But those people wouldn't listen to what she was saying at all; they just kept saying that she had sold Xiaochunhua.

The person holding Xiaochunhua glanced at the child in their arms, opened their mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The speaker became even more enthusiastic, as if determined to accuse Lin Cai'an of selling her child.

The tone was as if they had personally heard and witnessed Lin Cai selling the child.

"How dare you ask? If you didn't sell the child, where have you been all day? And where is Xiaochunhua?"

Little Chunhua, being held in the back of the crowd: I'm here, sister! How can you not see such a big Chunhua?

Looking at the girl in front of her, Lin Cai was speechless. Couldn't she look around when she spoke?

Just as Lin Cai was about to ask them to let go and tell them that Xiao Chunhua was right behind the crowd, the village chief came over.
