Chapter 207 - 207 Mother and Sons

207 Mother and Sons

The sky was getting darker, and Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was getting colder.

Along the way, the two of them did not speak and searched wholeheartedly.

Not long after, Father Su and Su Ergou also entered the mountain.

To be honest, Father Su did not think that the three children would enter the mountain themselves. However, there were already people searching for them in the village, so he brought Ergou to the mountain to try their luck.

!!

No one could guarantee that Su Yuniang’s previous accident would not happen. Perhaps the three children had been kidnapped by someone.

“Split up and search. Ergou and I will go over there. Son-in-law, you and Daya go to the east.”

“Okay.”

The four of them split up.

Father Su gave Wei Ting a torch and carried the other torch to the southwest with Su Ergou.

It was too dark and the weeds were wet. Father Su fell quite hard and his hands were scratched, but he didn’t say anything. He got up and continued to look for the children.

Wei Ting’s eyes flickered.

…

The two of them found the three little fellows in a damp and dark tree hole.

There were some traces of the older children being in the tree hole. It seemed that this was not the first time children had come to this place.

If they had not experienced it personally, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting would not have known that the three little fellows would actually run so far with the older children. In the depths of the forest, the brats were really bold.

It was early spring, and it was warm before turning cold. The night was especially cold.

The three little fellows shivered from the cold and snuggled together for warmth.

Dahu was in the middle, hugging his two younger brothers with his tender arms.

Although he and Xiaohu usually fought fiercely, that was at home. Outside, he would not allow his brothers to be wronged.

Only he could bully his brothers.

However, the current scene was not much better than being bullied.

“Dahu! Erhu! Xiaohu!”

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down. The tree hole was very small and adults couldn’t enter, let alone a fat girl like her.

The three little ones only heard her voice and subconsciously wanted to pounce out, but soon, they heard Wei Ting’s movements.

“The three of you, come out!”

The three of them shrank back in fear.

“Don’t be fierce to them!” Su Xiaoxiao glared at someone.

Wei Ting’s lips moved, but he did not say anything else.

Su Xiaoxiao knelt on the ground and looked into the tree hole. “Dahu, are you hungry? I made delicious food. Bring your brothers out first.”

Dahu hesitated for a moment before slowly exerting strength with his hands.

The two younger brothers looked at their older brother.

They wanted to go out, but no one moved.

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “It’s dark. I’m very afraid of being alone. Can you come out first?”

Hearing that Su Xiaoxiao was afraid, the three of them subconsciously leaned forward.

However, they gritted their teeth and endured it.

The three little fellows’ reaction was too abnormal.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Can you tell me why you’re hiding here?”

The three of them shook their heads with red eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao placed her hand on the ground, her palm hurting from the branches and stones on the ground.

She was too sensitive to pain, and beads of sweat subconsciously dripped down her forehead.

“Get up!”

Wei Ting pulled them up and tore open the tree hole to pull the three brats out.

The three of them hid behind Su Xiaoxiao the moment they came out, not letting Wei Ting approach.

“Did you hit them?” Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting.

Wei Ting said, “I didn’t.”

Su Xiaoxiao said doubtfully, “Then why are they suddenly avoiding you?”

Wei Ting was silent.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three little fellows hiding behind her and grabbing her clothes, then at Wei Ting, who wanted to say something but hesitated.

After a moment, she fell silent too.

She said nothing and led the three children down the mountain.

Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu followed her closely.

Xiaohu accidentally fell. Wei Ting quickly reached out to help him.

Xiaohu climbed up stubbornly and quickly, silently raising his hand to wipe his tears.

Su Xiaoxiao carried Xiaohu.

...

On the other side, Su Cheng and Su Ergou rushed over when they heard the commotion.

“Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu!” Su Cheng quickened his pace.

Dahu and Erhu ran towards him and plunged into his arms.

He handed the torches to Su Ergou and picked up the two little fellows.

He looked around anxiously. “Why did you come to the mountain? Let Grandpa take a look. Are you alright?”

The two of them leaned on his shoulder and shook their heads, feeling aggrieved.

Su Cheng felt the children choking. He frowned at Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting. “What’s wrong?”

Xiaohu felt that something was wrong and buried his face in Su Xiaoxiao’s clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t say anything and silently carried Xiaohu down the mountain.

Su Cheng’s gaze landed on Wei Ting’s face.

Wei Ting’s face was shrouded in the dark night. He looked at the dark sky. “Dad, it’s going to rain soon. Let’s go home first.”

...

Su Cheng was in a sorry state and had fallen a few times.

Wei Ting reached out to carry the children.

The two of them averted Wei Ting’s advances.

Wei Ting said, “Grandpa fell and can’t carry you.”

Su Cheng said, “I can carry them!”

The two of them hesitated and stretched out their small arms to Su Ergou.

This was the first time Su Ergou was being doted on by the little fellows.

After returning home, Su Xiaoxiao checked the three little ones carefully.

The three of them had varying degrees of abrasions and bumps on their bodies. Xiaohu was the youngest and had the most injuries. Both his knees were scraped and his palm was cut.

Erhu had bruises on his left elbow.

Dahu’s forehead was swollen.

In addition, although it was not winter, there were already insects in the tree hole. The three of them were all stung.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the three yellow pills rewarded by the pharmacy last time. After crushing them, she tried them on her wound to test.

The pain instantly disappeared, and a cool feeling spread. It was much less stimulating than the golden sore medicine.

It seemed that this medicine could not only be taken internally but also applied externally.

She applied it to the children too.

From the beginning to the end, the three little ones did not say a word. Their eyes were red and they did not make a sound even when they cried.

After all, they were tired. The three of them fell asleep in great grievance.

Su Xiaoxiao went to treat Su Cheng’s superficial injuries.

At night, she closed her eyes and lay quietly beside the three children.

Wei Ting opened the cabinet to pack his things, but she pretended not to hear him.

—-

Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxiao made breakfast.

It was a sumptuous meal. There was braised wheat, dumplings, winter melon meatball soup, red bean barley porridge, dried shrimp steamed eggs, and a few vegetables picked from the Li family’s land.

The dining table was very quiet.

Su Yuniang scooped soup for the three little ones.

“Have some too.” She scooped a bowl for Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao picked up the soup bowl and looked at the three sticky meatballs inside. She said softly, “Dad, if, I mean if…”

Before she could finish, Su Cheng stood up and returned to his room without looking back.

Su Yuniang looked at the calm Su Xiaoxiao and then at Su Cheng, who left. She sighed softly.

Suddenly, Su Cheng strode out.

He had a bag in his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him blankly.

Su Cheng said, “Aren’t you going to the capital? Don’t just stand there! Hurry up and eat! The boat will leave later!”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Su Cheng said, “My son-in-law wants to bring us to the capital. I told you yesterday. Don’t you know? Don’t tell me you haven’t packed your things?”

“Packed,” Wei Ting said.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned back and looked at the table in the east room.

There were two bags on it.

He packed all night.

Not only his items but also… hers.
