Chapter 311 Not Afraid
Chapter 311 Not Afraid
She was somewhat afraid and dared not face it at all; she didn't even dare to look at anyone from the Lin family.
From the moment she entered until now, she has kept her head down, either looking at the hem of her skirt or at her toes, never raising her head.
When the Lin family saw her like this, they looked at everyone. Lin's mother came to her daughter's side and hugged her daughter tightly.
"What's wrong? You seem downcast. Is something bothering you?"
"Don't worry, Xiaochunhua will be fine. Your second brother, your third brother, and Ershi have all gone after her, and Dahui went with them too. Don't worry, they'll be back soon."
Hearing the words in her ear and feeling the warmth of her embrace, Lin Cai suddenly hesitated to reach out and hug her mother back.
I picked up his hand, but I didn't dare to hug him.
As soon as she lowered her hand, it was grabbed and then she was embraced by Lin's mother.
"If you want to hug me, just do it. What are you hesitating for? You're such a grown-up, why are you still shy?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai hugged the warm hand, a feeling she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Gu Jinniu took Xiaochunhua away. The child was very well-behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss the whole way.
He found it a bit strange, so he turned the child around: "You brat, aren't you afraid of me?"
“I’m not called ‘stinky girl,’ I have a name.”
"So what if you have a name? I like calling you 'brat,' so what?"
"You're a bad person, a child abductor. What you're doing is wrong."
"Ha, you know I'm a kidnapper, so why aren't you afraid?"
"If I tell you I'm scared, will you take me back?"
"will not."
Hearing this, Xiaochunhua, who was in the dark, rolled her eyes: "Then I'm not afraid."
My mother taught me that no matter what the situation, I should never easily let others know what I'm thinking.
Even if you are very scared, you should pretend that you are not scared. This way, others will be unable to make up their minds and will not take advantage of your weaknesses to deal with you.
Moreover, my mother said that some bad people are really bad, and even if you are scared and cry until your voice is hoarse, they will not let you go.
So crying is pointless, shedding tears is pointless, it's better to save your tears for when you need them.
Gu Jinniu felt that this child was just like an adult, even more so than those adults. Then he heard him say, "Did she teach you all of this?"
"Who are you talking about? I don't know who you're referring to."
"The person I'm talking about is Lin Cai, the woman you call 'mother.' Was it that woman who taught you?"
Xiao Chunhua didn't speak, and there was no reply. Gu Jinniu didn't care. He took the child out and went directly to the place he had agreed to meet with Dong Ge.
But when he got there, he didn't see Dong Ge. Gu Jinniu sat there with the child for a while, but still didn't see anyone come over.
Xiao Chunhua guessed that he was probably waiting for someone, and then said, "Are you waiting for other human traffickers?"
"Are you really planning to sell me? You look exactly like my uncle, and you're my father's brother, so why would you sell me?"
"I'm so good-looking, my brother and mother raised me to be plump and healthy, and you just sold me off like that? Did you even agree on a price with that person?"
Xiao Chunhua chattered on and on, including telling Gu Jinniu to negotiate a price with the other party. Gu Jinniu frowned when he heard what Xiao Chunhua said.
“Who told you I’m your father’s brother or your uncle? Let me tell you, I’m not, I’m not any of them. I’m just an outsider, someone who’s always wanted to sell you off, understand?”
"Is that so? But your face is clearly my uncle's face. My dad and my uncle look a bit alike. Every time I'm about to forget my dad, I secretly go and look at my uncle."
So Xiao Chunhua will probably never forget what that face looked like.
“I said no, so I said no. Why do you talk so much, kid? I'm telling you, you better shut your mouth and stop talking, or I'll hit you.”
He thought his words would scare the little girl into silence, but to his surprise, they had no effect whatsoever.
"Wow, why are you so fierce! No wonder Sister Jiao'er doesn't want to go home. With such a fierce father like you, she must be very unhappy. You must have driven her crazy..."
"The reason why Sister Jiao'er came to our house is probably because you are too fierce. She is afraid of you and doesn't want to go back to live with you, so she came to our house..."
Gu Jiao'er stayed at the Gu family's house for a while, and during their journey south, Xiao Chunhua's address to her had been upgraded to "elder sister."
In the past, Gu Jiao'er would have been lucky to have a full name in the Gu family's eyes; she would never have been addressed with such an affectionate nickname.
Upon hearing what Xiao Chunhua said, Gu Jinniu hugged the child in his arms tightly: "It seems she's quite popular living in your house."
Xiao Chunhua didn't say anything; she was a little sleepy and wanted to go to bed.
Gu Jinniu waited for a while with the child in his arms, but no one came. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a pair of green eyes staring at him in the darkness.
Gu Jinniu knew the wolf's eyes, and that it wasn't just one wolf.
He stood there, holding the child in his arms, looking into those pairs of eyes.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? The child is in my hands now. Do you dare to lay a hand on him?"
"It's not that you can't have children. Once I'm safe, I'll give them to you."
Gu Jinniu couldn't wait for Dong Ge, and he couldn't possibly take the child with him. In any case, the child had to be handed over, but before that, he had to ensure his own safety.
He knew that the wolves raised by the Gu family could understand human speech, and they could also understand what he had just said.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a wolf howl, and the eyes that had been staring at him slowly looked away.
Gu Jinniu knew that this meant it understood his meaning and made way for him.
The howling of wolves woke Xiaochunhua. She glanced around groggily, mumbled, "So many big wolves," and then fell back asleep.
Holding Xiao Chunhua, Gu Jinniu walked out of the wolf pack's encirclement, taking one step at a time. He didn't know how long he walked, but he felt the snow on the ground getting deeper and deeper, and his calves were already numb from the cold.
Even the child in his arms felt the cold and instinctively snuggled closer to him.
Gu Jinniu sensed Xiao Chunhua's movements but did not let go. He held the child tightly in his arms and continued walking forward.
