Mu Wan's nerves were tense again.

The sudden sound coming from the wilderness is not a good thing.

What if it was a snake, or some other large wild animal? Her ankle was so swollen that she couldn't run fast. Wouldn't she have to die here today?

She had to leave here quietly.

But there were too many fallen leaves on the ground, forming a thick layer, and there were piles of dead branches under the fallen leaves.

‘click’

When Mu Wan moved his feet back, he accidentally stepped on a dead branch, making a crisp sound.

There was only one thought in her mind now: It's over!

The voice next to her was getting closer and closer, and Mu Wan closed her eyes in despair.

Until she heard a voice next to her ear: "Big sister? Why are you here alone? Didn't your family come with you?"

It was a person coming, not a wild beast.

Mu Wan quickly opened his eyes and looked at the little girl standing in front of him. The fear in his heart disappeared, replaced by relief.

She was finally saved.

"I came here alone, little sister, do you know how to get out of here?" Mu Wan bent down and spoke in a very friendly tone.

The little girl doesn't look very old, maybe thirteen or fourteen at most, and should be from a nearby village.

She grew up here and must be very familiar with the environment.

The little girl nodded and held her hand. "Of course, big sister, you come with me. But I have never seen you before. You are not from our side, right?"

"No, I'm from another province and wanted to come over to see my brother." Mu Wan was not on guard against a child.

Besides, she had no shameful motives and there was nothing she couldn't say.

"Have you found your brother?" The little girl was obviously more concerned about this issue than she was.

Mu Wan shook his head.

If she could find her brother, she wouldn't be so miserable. If the two siblings worked together, they would definitely be able to leave this place.

She mustered up hope again and again, only to be disappointed again and again. She didn't know where her brother was now, or whether he was doing well.

She was immersed in sadness until the little girl gently pulled her, "Big sister."

Mu Wan lowered his head to look at her.

The little girl smiled widely at her. "I have a brother, and he's very kind. Don't be sad. I can lend him to you. He will protect both of us."

Mu Wan just laughed it off, thinking that the little girl was just talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously.

Her brother is one-of-a-kind and cannot be replaced by just anyone.

Of course, children cannot understand this.

"My brother is really nice. He would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms for me and take me to pick fruits. He is also the best-tempered person in our village, really!" The little girl was afraid that she would not believe it, so she kept talking all the way.

Mu Wan listened patiently, and then praised her a few more times, "You are a very lucky person to have such a good brother."

"I also feel that I am very blessed, big sister, don't worry, you will be as blessed as me." The little girl patted her chest vigorously.

Hearing this, Mu Wan frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

But looking at the little girl's innocent face, she felt that she was being too suspicious.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Mu Wan saw the light.

There is a village ahead.

"Big sister, it's too late today, so I will take you home first and let our parents and brother treat you well. Then you can have a good sleep in our house tonight, and I will send you to town after you come back and have a good rest." The little girl held her hand tighter.

"My mother is a good cook. She will definitely cook a table full of delicious dishes to entertain you."

It was indeed very late now, the sky had already turned dark, and Mu Wan's phone was low on battery and was about to shut down automatically.

And the little girl is so young.

It was already very good that someone was willing to bring her home from the mountains. She couldn't ask them to send her to town tonight.

Mu Wan thought that he still had some cash in his pocket, and after paying for the bus fare, he could leave the remaining money to the little girl's family.

If it weren't for the little girl, she didn't know how long she would have to wander in the mountains alone.

"My house is just in front. The environment is a bit shabby. Don't mind it, big sister. Wait until next year when Dad goes out to work and earn money, and then he can come back to renovate the house." The little girl took Mu Wan all the way back home.

She pushed the door open and shouted inside: "Mom and Dad, I'm back, come and see what I brought!"

"Got it, wait a minute, we're cooking."

Mom and Dad's voices came from the kitchen.

Then the brother pushed the door open and said, "Sister, did you go up the mountain to pick mushrooms?"

"No, you'll know if you come and see." The little girl was so excited.

Soon his brother came over, and in the moonlight, he saw Mu Wan standing next to him.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.

His heart and eyes were filled with only Mu Wan. This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman in his life.

He had not received much education and did not have much cultural knowledge. He did not know what words to use to describe her. He racked his brains and could only come up with one sentence: "You are as beautiful as a fairy in the sky. Are you a goddess descended from heaven to earth?"

"I came here to look for someone. I got lost in the mountains. Luckily I met your sister, and she saved me." Mu Wan greeted him in a friendly manner.

He was even more stunned.

"Okay, go see what mom and dad prepared tonight and add a few dishes. I'll take big sister back first. She'll stay here with us tonight and I have to clean up her room." The little girl pushed him gently.

He then came to his senses, agreed quickly, and went to the kitchen.

The little girl took Mu Wan to her bedroom.

She turned on the light and looked at the shabby environment with peeling walls. She felt a little embarrassed and guilty. "Big sister, we will definitely redecorate our house next year. Believe me, I'm not lying."

"I believe you can do it." Mu Wan responded a few more times out of politeness.

She came here as a guest and stayed overnight. How could a guest dislike the host?

Isn't that sick!

"Yes! Let me take you to see my brother's bedroom. His bedroom is bigger than mine. My brother used to live with grandpa. By the way, grandpa went to my uncle's house today. I have to ask grandpa to come over for dinner." The little girl slapped her head as she spoke.

It is a big deal for my brother to get married, it is the top priority of the family, and my grandfather is the closest relative, so he must come to see his grandson's wife.

But if she left like this, who would look after Mu Wan?
