Chapter 2 Discovery

  Qiumeng'er wanted to see where she was now. What just happened earlier? However, before Qiumeng'er could make sense of it, she heard a boy's voice: "Brother, I clearly heard the sound of a baby crying just now, why is there no sound now?"

  "Xiao Xuan, you must have misheard. How could there be the sound of a baby crying in this place?" As he spoke, the boy reached out and grabbed his younger brother's hand. "Xiao Xuan, let's go, stop searching, Dad and Mom are still at home waiting for us to return for dinner."

  Qiu Meng'er heard the movements of the two boys, seemingly about to leave. Just as Qiu Meng'er thought the two brothers were going to split up, her mind quickly reacted - she couldn't let them leave; if they left, who knows when this little body would be able to rest again?

  So, when the two brothers turned and left, Qu Meng'er burst into loud sobs. Originally, she had intended to use her crying to lure the two brothers back over. But once she really let out a loud wail, she couldn't stop herself.

  She was completely immersed in the emotions of her past life, the grievances and sorrows of her past life, as well as the hurt inflicted by her parents time and again. All these grievances and sorrows had turned into tears, which flowed out drop by drop from Meng Xi's body along with her tears.

  "Brother, I'm telling you, I didn't mishear, did I? There's the sound of a baby crying." The one called Xiao Xuan struggled free from his brother's grasp and followed the sound of the crying as he walked over.

  Another slightly older boy, this time also didn't stop his younger brother, he followed in his footsteps and searched around. He was quite surprised in his heart, he hadn't expected that there would actually be a baby in this place.

  To know, this place is the most desolate place in their village, usually no one comes. Today, he and his brother also came because his brother said he heard a baby crying, so he pulled him over.

  "Brother, come quick, there's really a baby over here." The boy called Xiao Xuan shouted excitedly to his brother behind him when he saw the figure wrapped in a red quilt lying on the pile of weeds.

  Qiu Meng'er, who was immersed in the emotions of her past life, heard the boy's voice at this time and stopped crying. She had achieved the purpose of bringing people over, and the grievances and sorrows of her past life had also been vented out for the most part.

  However, Qiu Meng'er had cried too hard just now, and it was a bit difficult to calm down all at once. Although she was no longer wailing, there were still sniffling sounds.

  The one called Xiao Xuan waited for his brother to walk over to him, then he pulled on his brother's hand and excitedly ran to the pile of weeds where Qu Meng'er was standing still. Then he tiptoed, making an effort to lean forward, and only then could he see clearly the face of the baby wrapped in the small quilt. As soon as he saw it, the smile on his face became even brighter. "Brother, it's a girl!"

  When Xiaoxuan leaned forward, Qiumeng, who had stopped crying, also got a clear look at Xiaoxuan's appearance. His face was dirty, but he looked handsome with his sharp facial features. What Qiumeng liked, however, was Xiaoxuan's eyes, which were pure and bright. This was an expression that Qiumeng had never seen before.

  Gu Meng'er saw Xiao Xuan's pure and transparent eyes, and she involuntarily revealed a toothless smile to him.

  But Gu Meng Er's smile was caught by Xiao Xuan and his brother. "Brother, she's smiling at me! She was crying just now, but when she saw us, she smiled. Does she like us a lot? Brother, let's take her home and make her our sister."

  When Gu Meng'er saw this, the brother next to Xiao Xuan's face flashed a hint of surprise. Then he said: "Xiao Xuan, didn't you dislike having a younger sister?" It's worth noting that when adults joked with him about his mother giving birth to another child, Xiao Xuan's reaction was not just joking around.

  Xiao Xuan also seemed to recall what he had said and done before, and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, twisting and turning as he spoke: "That was when I saw the younger siblings of Da Niu, Xiao Mu's family, they all looked so ugly and cried all day, it was infuriating. But this little sister is different, look at her, she's so cute."

  As Xuan spoke, his brother looked at the little baby wrapped in a red blanket. It was really just like what his younger brother said, white and chubby, so cute that he wanted to reach out and poke her little face. "She is quite cute." Xuan's brother had to admit, this little baby really didn't look like those babies from their village.

  "Hey bro, can we take her back and make her our sister?" Xiaoxian heard his brother also agreeing with him, and suddenly smiled until his eyes became a slit.

  Qiu Meng'er, lying in the red quilt, opened her big eyes and kept turning them around. She perked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the two brothers. When she heard them discussing the most critical part - where she was going to go -

  Gu Meng'er's two small hands, hidden in the quilt, clenched together involuntarily. She was nervous. How could she not be? Now, she was a genuine infant, completely unable to take care of herself. No matter how formidable she had been in her past life, now she could only rely on others to survive. If these two boys hadn't carried her away from that pile of weeds, she would have definitely died by tonight.

  Because of her belly, she had long been singing the Empty City Stratagem.

  Xiao Xuan's brother hesitated for a moment and said: "We can take her home first, but whether she can be our sister, I'm not sure."

  "Brother, you carry our sister, let's go back." Xiao Xuan actually wanted to stretch out his hand to hold her, but he was small in stature and had never carried a child before, so he handed this arduous task over to his older brother.

  When Gu Meng'er heard Xiao Xuan's answer, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Whether or not the Xiao family would adopt her, at least one thing was certain - she could continue to live on.

  Qiumeng'er finally relaxed after waking up, her tense nerves finally able to unwind. As she relaxed, Xiao Xuan's older brother held her in his arms, gently swaying back and forth, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier until she couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.
