A rare opportunity

Chapter 531 Happy Time

Her serious look made Muchun's heart ache and melt! This made her more determined to take care of her! She was still thinking about how to convince Zijuan's family to let her take Zijuan away. Now it seems that there is no need! Obviously, Zijuan has become an orphan now!

Therefore, when Zijuan blew out a breath again, she blinked her eyes, tried to suppress her emotions and smiled:

"Zijuan, you are really good! The sand really blew out!"

"Great! Great!"

Zijuan heard this and immediately shouted excitedly. She finally showed the innocent look that a child should have!

"Thank you Zijuan! Let's go! I'll take you to find your mother!"

"Um……"

Zijuan looked at her hut and hesitated. In her opinion, since her mother was not at home, it would be best for her to wait in the hut. This was also what her mother emphasized again and again. Otherwise, if she took the wrong road and her mother couldn't find her when she came back, she would scold her!

She wanted her sister to accompany her to wait for her mother. However, she did not dare to ask. After all, the people in the town always rejected and scolded her for her request! She was afraid that her sister would be the same as those people!

She was reluctant to leave Muchun and stayed at home alone to wait. In her eyes, this sister was the most gentle, kind and beautiful person in the world! She even thought that her sister treated her better than her mother! Although she would blame herself for having such thoughts, she still couldn't get rid of such thoughts! For a moment, such a little person was worried that her mother would come back and not find her and get angry, and she was also afraid that her sister would never come back. Therefore, she seemed to be in a dilemma and just looked at Muchun with tears in her eyes!

That look was heartbreaking! Mu Chun even had the urge to tell her that her mother had passed away! But looking at her innocent eyes, she couldn't bear to let them be covered with sadness! She couldn't bear to leave an indelible trauma on her young heart! So she said softly:

"Are you worried that mom won't be able to find you when she comes back? Hmm...how about this? Let's leave her a note and tell her where you are. That way, she won't worry about you when she comes back!"

"The note?"

Zijuan blinked and looked at Muchun in confusion.

"A note... well, a note with something written on it. Once your mother sees it, she'll know where you've been and won't worry about you anymore!"

Zijuan finally relaxed her tense nerves after hearing this, and danced with joy! She hurriedly urged Muchun to write the note as soon as possible. As for what words were, and whether her mother could read or not, it was not within her consideration!

Muchun just said it casually, without considering that he didn't carry any writing brush, ink, paper, or inkstone with him. Now he felt like he was in a dilemma. Going to the town to look for her was a hassle. What he was most afraid of was that Zijuan would not want to go. If he asked her to stay and wait for him, he was afraid that she would return to her hut and see her mother's body. Without thinking, he tore off a skirt, wrote a few words on the white cloth with his rouge, and threw it away. The white cloth flew out as if it had wings! It hung squarely on the fence door of Zijuan's house!

All she saw was Zijuan's mouth wide open, with an expression of disbelief! Of course, it also contained envy and admiration!

Mu Chun just smiled slightly, then took Zijuan's hand and said:

"Let's go! Let's go find mom!"

Zijuan immediately held Muchun's hand tightly and skipped towards the town. Zijuan seemed particularly happy at this time! She often let go of Muchun's hand and ran with laughter in the wild grass and wild flowers! Sometimes she picked a bunch of wild flowers, sometimes she chased flying butterflies! Sometimes she would tiptoe to a dragonfly resting on a wild flower or weed, stretching out her little hand to try to catch it. Whether she caught it or not, she would laugh! At this time, she had completely forgotten the original intention of looking for her mother, and was completely immersed in her own joy!

Looking at Zijuan flying like a butterfly, Muchun couldn't help but feel her eyes moist! She couldn't help but feel that the cowardly and timid child she was before was integrated with the innocent Zijuan! She liked Zijuan like this and hoped that she could be happy like this forever!

At Zijuan's repeated invitation, Mu Chun let go of his reserve and chased and played with Zijuan on the grass! Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to his childhood, as if he was back with his parents!

When they were tired of playing, they would lie on the grass, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, sharing and verifying with each other what animals a certain white cloud resembled. Sometimes they agreed and sighed at the wonders of nature. Sometimes they would argue, but most of the time it ended with Zijuan's compromise!

Muchun returned to her childhood! She became the little princess who was loved by everyone and a little willful again! She laughed wantonly with Zijuan and played without restraint. She forgot all the pain and troubles, all the people and things! This was the happiest moment for her since she ran away! This made her find the joy of living again!

However, the joy was only temporary. Especially when Zijuan suddenly remembered to go find her mother, Muchun was brought back to reality! She could see that Zijuan was a smart child and was not easy to fool. She didn't want Zijuan to see her mother's death, but she had no reason to stop Zijuan from returning to her home to find her mother! Looking at Zijuan's anxious look, she could only nod and pull her back to the town.

It was not until this moment that Mu Chun realized that the sky had darkened and the town was already shrouded in twilight. There were few pedestrians on the street, and even if one or two people were encountered occasionally, when they saw Mu Chun holding Zi Juan, they would run away as if they had seen a ghost!

Mu Chun couldn't help but be surprised! When she saw Zijuan hiding behind her timidly, she finally understood. It turned out that these people were not hiding from her, but from Zijuan! Mu Chun couldn't help but feel sad again! She thought Zijuan was just childish, but she didn't expect that what she said was true! These people actually avoided such a child like a plague! She tried to go to some food shops to buy some food. But when the shopkeepers of those food shops saw them leaving, they quickly closed and locked the door. No matter how she knocked, they were unwilling to open the door!

She had originally thought of eating something first and then finding an inn to stay in. But now it seemed that no one would accept them. She had no choice but to take Zijuan and leave the town. She couldn't just break in like a robber, could she?

They came to the wilderness. The earth was shrouded in darkness. It was pitch black, with only a few lights coming from the small town. Except for the occasional barking of dogs, the eerie silence made people's hair stand on end! A breeze blew, rustling the leaves and weeds, making people feel cold all over!

Mu Chun couldn't help but hold Zi Juan's hand tightly, looking around in fear! As a practitioner, it is common to spend the night in the wilderness. The reason why Mu Chun was so timid was that he was afraid that an unknown animal would suddenly jump out and scare Zi Juan.

However, Zijuan was not as timid as she was in the town! She seemed to prefer staying in the dark! From Muchun holding her hand tightly, she felt Muchun's fear. Instead, she patted the back of Muchun's hand with her other hand and comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, sister! Don't be afraid, sister! It's okay. I'm often alone, and I'm okay!"

Muchun's heart couldn't help but twitch! She couldn't help but lean over and hug her in her arms, hugging her tightly! She immediately took out a piece of sesame cake she had bought before and stuffed it into Zijuan's hand, saying softly:

"Zijuan, eat something first!"

Zijuan was a little hesitant, but she was so hungry that she couldn't resist the aroma of the sesame cake and finally wolfed it down.

After Zijuan ate a pancake, Muchun reached out and pressed her sleep acupoint, letting her fall into a deep sleep. She had originally planned to ask the people in the town to help bury Zijuan's mother, but now it seems that she can only do it herself!

She immediately carried Zijuan on her back, tied her up tightly with her clothes, took out a piece of black cloth to cover her mouth and nose, and then took Zijuan towards the thatched hut!
