Chapter 4

When Qin Shuniang came over, she saw a group of small groups around the eldest daughter, but they were all asleep.

"Mother, you're here." Tan Wenning looked up and saw Qin Shuniang.

"Well, baby girl, take care of your younger brothers and sisters. Mom is going back to make dinner. I'll come back later to bring you food." Qin Shuniang said warmly.

Tan Wenning looked up at the tiredness in Qin Shuniang's eyes, and then she took a serious look at the lady in front of her. Her body was thin and her cheeks were deeply sunken, but it could be seen from her facial features that she used to have a pretty face lovely.

Tan Wenning learned from memory that her mother, Qin Shuniang, was only 29 years old, but long-term fatigue had made her look like a woman in her 30s.

"Mother, I'll go with you." Tan Wenning was worried that Qin Shuniang would come back alone at night, and in her opinion, Qin Shuniang's body was still too thin.

"No need, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. Besides, you are still in good health, so don't go out to have a shower." Qin Shuniang told her daughter, and hurried out.

She was afraid that if she didn't go again, her mother-in-law would be scolded again tonight. Being scolded is a trivial matter, so what if she was deprived of a little food?She still has several children to raise.

Tan Wenning quietly watched Qin Shuniang disappear from her sight. She knew that her body was a little weak now, and she couldn't stop Qin Shuniang, so let's take it slowly.

Looking at the dilapidated shack, Tan Wenning racked her brains thinking about how to make a fortune. First of all, she had to separate the family first, otherwise, no matter how much money she made, it would be for that old godmother.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

Tan Wenning was thinking about it when Tan Zichen's voice came from his ears.

She looked down and saw his little face flushed from sleep. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses.

"Sister, I'm going to find my mother, you wait here for us to bring food back." Tan Zichen was going down to put on his shoes when Tan Wenning grabbed her.

"Zichen, don't go out. It's dark now, and it's dangerous outside. Mother said, she will bring food back in a while, so bear with it." Tan Wenning knew that the original owner and Qin Shuniang had been involved in this matter before. did it together.

It's just that she fell ill in the past few days, so Qin Shuniang did it alone. Tan Zichen was with Qin Shuniang only yesterday.

The road was probably difficult today, and Tan Zichen fell asleep, so Qin Shuniang couldn't bear to call him, so she went alone.

Tan Wenning and the others waited until midnight, but Qin Shuniang did not come back.

"Zichen, Yue'er, I'll go out and have a look, you wait here." Tan Wenning said softly.

As usual, Qin Shuniang had already returned by this time, it was impossible that she hadn't come back now, something must have happened.

"Sister, let me go with you." Tan Wenyue stood down and put on her shoes.

Tan Wenning originally wanted to refuse habitually, but Tan Wenyue's little hands had already tightly grasped the hem of her clothes, and her small face was looking at her seriously and firmly.

"Okay, I'll take you with me, but Yue'er, you have to hold onto sister's hand tightly and don't let go." Tan Wenning instructed.

"I will, sister." Tan Wenyue was mainly afraid that her sister's health was not well yet, what if she fainted on the road!
In this way, the two sisters simply lit a torch and went out. This torch was made by Tan Wenning according to the memory, and the torch was already very short, which showed that it had been used for some days.

The two sisters walked very slowly, because it had just rained and the road was still slippery, so Tan Wenning had to lead Tan Wenyue to walk slowly.

They passed by the door of the house with the earthen wall, which was the closest family to their shack, and they continued to walk forward without stopping.

At this time, the night was already very deep, and the evening wind blew in, exuding a biting chill. Tan Wenning and sisters were already wearing very thin clothes. When the wind blew, they got closer, and their teeth began to tremble uncontrollably up.

"Sister, those are mother's shoes." With sharp eyes, Tan Wenyue saw a worn-out shoe in the grass beside her.

Tan Wenning's eyes narrowed, and she immediately led Tan Wenyue in, only to see a lone shoe in the grass, and no one in sight.

This is a trapezoidal hillside, just cross the hillside and walk for a while to reach the old house.

Tan Wenning looked at the messy stones on the hillside, and had a bad premonition in her heart. Since Qin Shuniang's money was waiting here, she might have already fallen.

She had to go down and have a look. She told Tan Wenyue to wait and she went down to have a look.

Tan Wenyue shook her head, wanting to go down with Tan Wenning.

"Yue'er, you are obedient, just wait here. If I fall, you remember to call someone. If you follow, if something happens, no one can save us."

Tan Wenning's words dispelled Tan Wenyue's idea of ​​going down together.

Tan Wenning said that the hillside was slowly moving down, and her hands got into the soil tightly, moving down bit by bit, and she didn't care about the pain in her hands at this time.

So, when Tan Wenning was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, she still slipped and fell. It was not high at all, and she only felt a slight pain.

"Sister, are you okay!" Tan Wenyue was on the hillside, her heart was raised, and there was already a hint of crying in her voice.

"I'm fine, Yue'er, I'll first check if my mother is down there." Tan Wenning opened her eyes wide and tried to look around. At noon, she saw Qin Shuniang's figure on a tree trunk not far away.

She ran over quickly, Qin Shuniang had blood on her forehead, and her body hit a tree. Tan Wenyue touched her breath first, but she was no longer breathing, and her body was icy cold. It seems that she fell for a while up.

Normally, a fall from such a hillside would not be fatal, but her luck was not very good. It seemed that her head hit a rock first, and then her waist hit a tree trunk, and she died.

Although Tan Wenning had only traveled here for the first day, Qin Shuniang was very kind to her original body in her memory, and a trace of inexplicable sadness emerged in her heart.

"Yue'er, go find someone. Mother is down there, but she's out of breath." Tan Wenning's voice trembled.

Tan Wenyue couldn't help but shed tears. She wiped her tears and walked back firmly. She was going to call someone in the old house. After all, it was a big night, and they lived here, and her father was also sick. fall down.

She didn't dare to go to the man living in the earthen wall, she was a little afraid of him.

After Tan Wenyue left, Tan Wenning tried her best to get Qin Shuniang down from the tree, only then did she realize that her arms were bulging.
