Madam Xie had cooked the meal early in the morning, waiting for Xuexue to come back so they could eat. However, despite her intense looking, there was no sign of her return.
As the sky gradually darkened and the moon silently climbed atop the tree branches, Xuexue still hadn’t returned, leaving Big Bull extremely anxious. He had thought about going to town to find her several times, but was stopped by Madam Xie each time.
Xuexue not returning late at night made her anxious too, but thinking about Big Bull, who wasn’t very bright, and the possibility of losing him as well, what would she do? Madam Xie was frantic. The Mo family was unreliable as well, and she didn’t know where else to ask for help, so she could only lie on the locust tree at the entrance of the village and weep bitterly.
“Mom, don’t cry. When you cry, Chuner wants to cry too,” Chuner said with a pouting mouth, and then burst into loud tears. The scene was very tragic.
Those unaware might think something terrible had happened.
“Madam, Chuner, don’t cry. Xuexue will be heartbroken if she comes back and finds you like this.” Big Bull absentmindedly stretched his neck, looking down the main road, hoping that the delicate figure of Xuexue would appear in his view. Unfortunately, it was just a dark mass, and he couldn’t make anything out.
Right at that moment, a moving black dot appeared in the distance. As soon as Big Bull saw it, his eyes lit up, “Madam, I’ll go check if that’s Xuexue coming back.” After saying so, without waiting for Madam Xie’s approval, he leapt forward and vanished into the vast night.
“Big Bull, where are you going?”
Madam Xie shouted loudly, but it was in vain as Big Bull had already dashed far away, unable to hear her voice.
“Mom, don’t worry. Big Bull Brother is going to find sister. It’s so dark; she must be scared.”
“That’s right, we should go pick her up. It’s unsafe for Xuexue, being a young girl, to walk at night,” Madam Xie murmured to herself.
It was only when Xuexue came out of the dilapidated house that she realized they had taken her to a deserted wilderness. After walking for a long time and finally coming across some people, she managed to ask for the direction to Mo Family Village. As it was getting late and there were no ox carts available, she had to walk on foot in the pitch darkness. Luckily, Xiao Taohong led the way, preventing her from stumbling.
“Wife, wife.”
As she walked, the voice of Big Bull reached her ears. Overjoyed, Xuexue never felt as if Big Bull was as warmly comforting as in that moment.
“Big Bull, I’m here.”
A dark shadow darted toward her and hugged her tightly, sniffing her hair and speaking with a voice full of surprise, “Wife, is it really you? That’s great, you’ve finally come back. I was so worried.”
“Big Bull, what are you doing? I can barely breathe,” Xuexue struggled in his arms.
“Wife, what happened? Why did you come back so late?” Big Bull promptly loosened his embrace a bit and asked with concern, lowering his head.
Xuexue briefly explained the matter of being kidnapped by Housekeeper Zhang and then instructed Big Bull not to tell Madam Xie about it to avoid worrying her.
