It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

What Yun Li didn't know was that the lead goose she was worried about hadn't been caught and eaten, but was instead being worshipped by the people of the whole village.

They eat the freshest leafy greens every day and even drink sugar water.

If you ask why it received such treatment, it's because it did a great deed: it saved a family's grandson from drowning.

People who are grateful will feel thankful, regardless of whether the benefactor is a human or an animal.

The lead goose was about to leave after rescuing the child, but the rescued child was too attached to it.

She cries loudly whenever it disappears.

There was nothing I could do; after all, he was the child I had rescued. What could I do but spoil him?

From then on, a special sight appeared in this small village.

A large white goose waddles around the village every day, leading a child on patrol.

It will help whenever it sees something that needs help and that it can do to help.

This surprised the villagers. The old man said that the goose was spiritual and that it was fate that it came to their village, so they should treat it well.

After that, the lead goose became everyone's darling, and no one, not even the eldest son or the youngest grandson, could compare to its popularity.

Life couldn't be more pleasant.

……

It took the second brother a lot of effort to cut down the pine branch that was as thick as an adult's arm.

Yun Li saw this and walked over.

After nimbly climbing down the tree, the second brother put the machete on the ground, raised his arm to wipe his sweat, and his dark face was full of smiles.

"Ah Li, what do you want to ask your second uncle?"

After wiping away his sweat, he grabbed a handful of pine needles and spread them on the ground, gesturing for Ali to sit down, while he himself sat directly on the ground.

Yun Li sat down, his eyes sweeping over the wood-chopping knife beside him. It was full of nicks and chips; no wonder it took so long to cut through.

"Second Uncle, is your family kidnapping children?"

The sudden question made his smiling face freeze instantly.

A moment later, he looked at Yun Li, both amused and exasperated, "Ah Li, why would you ask that?"

For some reason, he said in a mysterious voice, "Ah Li, are your family members treating you badly, so you want your uncle to kidnap you?"

Yun Li: "..." Such a peculiar idea.

"Second Uncle, someone said your family used to have a chubby child, but he's gone now. Where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, the second brother's expression changed. He grabbed Yun Li's arm, his expression serious. "Ah Li, who, who saw it? Tell your second uncle, this is very important."

Seeing how nervous she was, Yunli also began to feel uneasy. Could it be that she really was a kidnapped child?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he shook his head. Impossible. If they really were kidnappers, they would have kidnapped him.

"My second uncle is a boy from the next village who is not yet twenty years old, but he didn't tell anyone else, he only told me."

The second son then remembered the boy he had met when he brought his benefactor's grandson back home.

He felt uneasy. If he hadn't only told Ali, then their family would be in danger.

"Second Uncle, could you tell Ali who that child is?"

The second brother was already feeling uneasy, and when he heard Yun Li ask who it was, he immediately became alert.

Could it be that Ah Li was sent by someone to trick her into revealing information?

Seeing the change in his expression, Yun Li suddenly felt that her question was a bit unreasonable.

Everyone has secrets they don't want to talk about, and her question just now was somewhat inappropriate.

"Why does Ali want to know about that child?"

The second brother's voice was somewhat cold, and his gaze was like needles.

Yun Li responded honestly, "I don't want to know about that child, I just want to know if my second uncle's family are kidnappers or bad people."

Unexpectedly, she had this idea. The second son was taken aback, his expression softening noticeably. He asked with a teasing tone, "So, if Uncle's family really are kidnappers, what does Ali plan to do?"

"Should we call the police or stay away?"

"No, I will kill you all!" Yun Li said with utmost seriousness, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The second brother looked into her eyes and instinctively shivered.

He didn't want to believe that such a young child could kill someone, but her imposing presence forced him to believe that she was no ordinary child.

"Who...who are you?!"

"Second Uncle, have you been involved in kidnapping or anything else?"

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere gradually became dangerous. Finally, the second brother gave in and chuckled, "My second uncle's family didn't do child abduction, but whether they did anything wrong is hard to define."

Yun Li immediately grasped this undefinable meaning, because she herself was such a being.

Perhaps for families whose children have been abducted, she did something truly gratifying.

According to national laws, she did something wrong.

She changed her approach and asked, "Has your second uncle ever hurt any good people?"

"Ah Li, your question is also difficult to define." The second brother looked at Yun Li with a smile.

Yun Li's face instantly turned red. Indeed, this question was similar to whether or not she had done something wrong.

The definition of a good person or a bad person also depends on one's perspective.

Embarrassed and annoyed, she asked again, "Did Second Uncle hurt that fat child?"

"No!" the second brother answered decisively. "Second Uncle not only didn't hurt him, but actually saved him."

Thinking of something, he became depressed. "If my older brother and I hadn't taken him away, he would probably be dead by now, just like his family."

Yun Li got the answer, and even though she hadn't confirmed it, she believed that what he said was the truth.

"Ali understands, Uncle's family are good people."

"You believe that already!" The second brother smiled at her.

"Second Uncle, Ali is leaving. It may be the last time we meet." Yun Li stood up and walked down the mountain.

The second brother watched her retreating figure and thought about the last line, "We'll never meet again," and felt something was off.

Isn't she a relative from the next village?

Even if we can't see each other often in the future, we can still meet when they come to visit relatives, since their village isn't far from the neighboring village.

After descending the mountain, Yun Li detoured past their house, leaving some supplies, gold, silver, and money inside, and also left a note.

When passing by the next village, I made a point of looking at Old Nie's grave and the family whose kneecaps I had broken.

The family is not home at the moment; they must have gone to the hospital.

Yun Li glanced at it and left, continuing his journey of revenge.

What she didn't know was that when the family learned that the broken bones were beyond repair, they caused a scene at the hospital, threatening to call the police, but the boy named Hui Zi suppressed them.

If you ask Hui Zi if he hates them, he does, but more than hatred, he worries about the lives of his family.

When the elderly man and his two sons returned home, they were shocked to find a large amount of rice, flour, money, and notes in the house.

"It says on this that it's a gift from Ali, so they can accept it without worry."

The eldest son stared blankly at the note, unable to believe that it was given to him by that child.

The old man and his second son couldn't believe it either, but with the note there, they had no choice but to believe it.
