Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 235 Want to save his life

The bird nodded and looked at its companion who was eating a small piece of steamed bun next to it from time to time.

The bird looked absent-minded, which made Tao Qiuyi laugh. She tore off a piece of steamed bun and was about to put it in front of the bird when she remembered that she had not yet finished asking questions.

He bent his hand and placed it in front of the bird that was pecking at the food. Tao Qiuyi said, "Stop looking at me and answer my questions seriously. After you answer, it will be your turn to eat."

The bird looked at Tao Qiuyi, its eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

"Qiuqiu, please ask quickly, I'm hungry."

"Can't you find anything to eat in the mountains now?" Tao Qiuyi asked.

"There are still wild fruits to eat in the mountains, but it's hard to find them after the snow."

Tao Qiuyi nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "Have you ever seen the cave where they lived?"

"I've been there. He's very good at finding caves."

"What do you mean?" Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow. A bird with the same IQ as a child was said to be very good at finding caves. He didn't know what kind of cave the boy had found to live in.

"There's a lot of grass outside the cave where he lives, so it's not easy to find. He also used branches to cover the entrance of the cave. I've never been inside the cave."

"Then he's really good at finding caves." Knowing how to conceal things shows that the boy is a smart kid. "Is the cave he lives in far from the base of those fake soldiers?"

"Not far."

"No, it should be said far."

"We birds can't fly far in the sky, but you humans can go far on the ground."

"Yeah, far."

Watching the bird talking to itself, Tao Qiuyi's mouth twitched. Fortunately, the bird finally made it clear that the boy lived far away from the base of those fake soldiers.

This means that the young man will not be found easily, and as long as he does not leave the cave where he lives, he will be safe for the time being.

"You all keep an eye on him. If he is found by those people, come and call me immediately. Remember, you must come and call me immediately." Tao Qiuyi instructed the bird and tore off a few pieces of steamed buns and placed them in front of the bird.

"Yeah, yeah, I remember."

After that, the bird began to peck at the food.

The bird that had been pecking at the steamed buns had finally eaten its fill and came to tell Tao Qiuyi the news. It was the bird that stayed at the Huang family's house and had only one piece of news to share.

Today, after breakfast, Huang Lingyu wanted to drag Huang Ying to the mountain to chop firewood, but Huang Ying didn't want to go. She made a fuss at home all morning, and Mrs. Huang sided with Huang Ying and scolded Huang Lingyu.

Wang Chunjuan protected Huang Lingyu and had an argument with Old Lady Huang. Old Lady Huang was so angry that she wanted to hit Wang Chunjuan, but was stopped by the Huang family. Then they went back to their rooms and ignored each other.

"The Huang family's yard must have been very lively this morning." Although Tao Qiuyi didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine how lively the Huang family was this morning.

"It was very lively. Some people from the village went to watch the fun."

Tao Qiuyi paused in tearing the steamed buns and asked excitedly, "Anyone else want to watch?"

"Yes, the first ones to watch the fun were the neighbors next to the Huang family."

"Later, several more aunts came."

The aunt went, and several other aunts went too. Tao Qiuyi thought with some schadenfreude that what happened to the Huang family this morning might have spread throughout the village.

However, Tao Qiuyi put away his gloating expression. In the original owner's memory, Wang Chunjuan obeyed Old Lady Huang's orders and was completely suppressed by her.

What gave Wang Chunjuan the courage to resist Old Lady Huang? Thinking of this, Tao Qiuyi's mind flashed with Huang Lingyu's face. It was Huang Lingyu.

Only Huang Lingyu had the ability to get Wang Chunjuan to stand up for her. Tao Qiuyi asked, "What did Huang Lingyu say or do before Wang Chunjuan and Old Lady Huang quarreled?"

"She didn't do anything but cry."

Tao Qiuyi sneered disdainfully, "Her crying is more effective than anything else she says."

The bird didn't understand what Tao Qiuyi meant, and looked at Tao Qiuyi with puzzled eyes.

Tao Qiuyi had no intention of explaining the complex emotions of humans to a bird. "Did Huang Lingyu ever tell me why he dragged Huang Ying along to the mountains to chop firewood?"

The bird said no, and Tao Qiuyi asked it to think about it carefully, but the bird still said no.

Tao Qiuyi stopped bothering the bird and let it go back to continue watching the Huang family. After the bird flew away, she tore up all the remaining steamed buns and put them on the ground for the bird to eat.

She sat on the straw mat, lost in thought.

She didn't know much about Huang Lingyu, but based on the news the bird brought back and the things Huang Lingyu did, she could conclude that Huang Lingyu was not a hardworking person.

Since he is not a hardworking person, why did Huang Lingyu suddenly drag Huang Ying to the mountains to chop firewood?

You know, Huang Ying wasn't a diligent person. According to the original owner's memory, Huang Ying, under the indulgence of the old witch of the Huang family, could be said to have become lazy.

He enjoys bullying the original owner every day and doesn't go to school. He is a true illiterate.

The door was pushed open and a tall figure walked into the room.

Tao Qiuyi's thoughts were brought back to her senses. She didn't need to look up specifically, she knew it was Wei Jingyuan who came back just by listening to the footsteps.

Seeing her sitting on the ground with a bird pecking at food in front of her, Wei Jingyuan walked up to her, stretched out his hand to hold her arm and gently pulled her up.

"The ground is cold, don't sit on it." As Wei Jingyuan spoke, he withdrew his big hand that was holding her arm.

Tao Qiuyi nodded in agreement and asked him, "You're back, what did Fourth Uncle say?"

"Fourth Uncle will come and take Grandma to the hospital in town for treatment." Wei Jingyuan answered and glanced at the bird pecking at the ground. "What news did it bring?"

Tao Qiuyi did not hide it and told Wei Jingyuan what the bird had said.

After listening to Tao Qiuyi's words, Wei Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds and then said, "If that young man continues to live in the mountains, he will be found by those fake soldiers sooner or later."

"That's right." Tao Qiuyi nodded. "He can't stay in the cave forever. When the stored food and water are gone, he has to come out. As long as he moves out, he will definitely be discovered."

"You want to save his life." Wei Jingyuan was not asking, but confirming that she would save the boy.

"Yeah." Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan with an extremely serious expression. "Actually, I saved him that day, but I also indirectly harmed him. I was the one who took care of those four people, but he took the blame."

"I took away both the knife and the gun. If he fell into the hands of those fake soldiers, he would definitely be tortured to a point where his life would be worse than death."

Wei Jingyuan nodded in agreement, because he knew that those spies from abroad were completely devoid of humanity. During his many years in the army, he had come into contact with many spies and had summed up his experience.

"If we decide to rescue him, we must do it quickly because those spies from abroad are inhumane," said Wei Jingyuan.

Tao Qiuyi also thought so. The group of foreign spies in the mountains were more dangerous than time bombs.

It must be demolished as soon as possible to feel at ease.

Without knowing how many people were there, she didn't dare to act rashly. The only way was to take the boy down the mountain and away from those dangerous people.
