Chapter 576: The Second Time
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
One could imagine how a child who was only so young lived in the mountains.
The monkey treated him like a toy. It would carry him up the tree at any time and throw him to play with other monkeys. There were a few times when he was almost thrown to the ground.
Little Qingyuan was so frightened that he cried. However, he did not know why he was here. He also did not know the way home.
He missed his grandfather. He didn’t want to be with these monkeys.
He felt like he was going to die. He was thirsty, tired, and hungry. But no matter how much he cried for help, no one came to his rescue.
Later on, he realized that these monkeys seemed to know how to imitate his movements. Therefore, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile. His face was clearly covered in injuries and he did not have any strength, but he still tried his best to pretend to be very happy and play with them, fighting with them.
Perhaps because he was slowly getting familiar with them, the monkeys stopped playing with him and let down their guard. They no longer guarded him at all times.
Therefore, when he encountered a few yellow-throated martens one day, those monkeys ran away in a hurry before they could bring him along.
Little Qingyuan also fell into a bush while running, but he avoided the yellow- throated martens.
But he had also become alone.
Little Qingyuan did not know what to do and could only find a direction to walk in. It was not that he had not encountered other animals on the way. He was also afraid, but when he followed the monkeys previously, he had learned a little instinct to avoid danger.
When he was hungry, he would pick those very low-growing fruits to eat. He didn’t even know if they were poisonous, but if he didn’t eat, he wouldn’t have the strength. He wanted to go back and find his grandfather. He didn’t want to die here.
Fortunately, he was still in the periphery of the Nine Tigers Mountain and had not encountered any ferocious beasts.
After walking aimlessly for three days, when he was avoiding a wild boar, he fell into a hunter’s trap and fainted.
When he woke up again, he was in a hunter’s house.
The hunter thought that he would die. After figuring where his house was, the man sent him back to Yongfu Village.
At that time, ten days had passed since he was sent to the mountains.
Madam Bao gave birth to a boy.
Little Qingyuan did not know that he had been sent away by his adoptive parents. He only knew that he was very happy to see his grandfather again.
Grandpa was also happy. He hugged him and cried until he almost fainted.
He kept smiling and comforted his grandfather that he was fine and not sick. He even met such a cute monkey and ate many fruits that he had never eaten before. He experienced many interesting things.
However, his grandfather seemed to be crying even harder. He kept saying that it was his fault and that he had let him down.
Little Qingyuan was at a loss and did not understand what he meant.
Later, when no one was around, his adoptive father warned him not to tell anyone about what had happened in the mountains. If anyone asked, they would say that he was out visiting someone else.
Little Qingyuan did not understand why, but he was actually very afraid of recalling the miserable days in the mountains, so he agreed and did not tell anyone.
However, Madam Bao felt that her dream had come true. Shao Qingyuan was indeed a jinx. Otherwise, why would she really give birth to a son after she sent him away?
They didn’t want to keep Shao Qingyuan at all, but Old Master Li scolded them and warned them that he would cut ties with them if they dared to do such a thing again.
The Li family’s parents could only keep him, but Little Qingyuan’s life was even worse.
At the age of eight, Madam Bao became pregnant again.
With her previous experience, Madam Bao was very afraid of Little Qingyuan. However, this time, it was obvious that she could no longer throw him into the mountains.
