Chapter 76

Under the woman's gaze, Tang An'an bid farewell to the woman, turned a corner, disappeared from the woman's sight, and walked towards the forest.

She lowered her eyes to think about all kinds of doubts in this village, and integrated the information in her mind.

This village must be strange, but it is not known what secrets are hidden.There is also the iron door that was not allowed to approach just now. There must be something inside that scares them but wants to guard it.

"Have they really never gone out?" Tang Anan stepped on the branches and leaves on the ground, making a crisp sound of broken branches and leaves.

Looking at the darkness in the dense forest, she murmured: "Where are the few village cadres who disappeared?"

Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of swaying branches and leaves on the branch next to her. She pursed her lips, quickly stepped back a few steps to the side, raised her head, and looked directly at the source of the sound with her piercing eyes.

Taking a closer look, she saw a little girl about two years younger than her.

She was hugging the tree trunk tightly, looking at her at a loss and timidly, her lips were pale and dripping with sweat.

Tang An'an's expression relaxed, but he did not completely let go of his guard.

She said loudly, "It's dangerous to climb that high, you'd better come down quickly."

The little girl hugging the tree trunk stared at her in fear, and asked, "Who are you? Are you also here to rent the village?"

A gleam flashed in Tang An'an's eyes, and he thought to himself, "Really?"

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she put on a childlike sweet smile, and said to the little girl, "Yes, I came here with my brother and I want to rest here for a day before leaving."

"Why don't you come down and chat, I haven't seen a friend who is about my age for a long time." She said.

The little girl carefully looked at her for a few seconds, and after seeing that she did not show any malice, she slowly climbed down.

Tang An'an stared at her with deep eyes, and the smile on her lips remained undiminished, "Hello, my name is An'an. And you, what's your name."

As she said that, she suddenly approached the little girl, almost face to face, and said softly, "Why do you feel a little afraid of me?"

Tang Anan tilted her head and said, "Isn't this your home?"

The little girl grabbed the corner of her white clothes, kept looking up at her, and said timidly: "My name is Qiqi. This is my home, but"

The little girl hesitated to speak, as if she didn't know whether to speak or not.

Tang Anan took her hand and said with a smile: "But what? I really want to make friends with Qiqi, but Qiqi doesn't seem to like me very much, which makes me a little worried."

"No, it's not." The little girl looked at the hand being held by her, her face flushed slightly, she thought about it, and seemed to have figured it out, and said, "I want to make friends with An'an too!"

"But... but some foreigners came to the village before, and those children laughed at me as a poor and rustic child, and even threw stones at me." As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red.

Tang An'an gently wiped away the tears seeping from the corners of her eyes, looked at her tenderly, with distressed eyes, "How could they do this!"

The little girl felt the gentle force on her face, and her tear-filled eyes became bright, and she said again, "An'an, you are so kind."

"Obviously this is your home, why don't the adults in the village drive them away?" Tang Anan asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed in the little girl's eyes. She lowered her head in frustration and said, "The adults are very enthusiastic towards these foreigners. Even if the children in the village are bullied, they will not care."

She seemed to be lost in memory for a few seconds, and murmured: "Obviously it wasn't like this before, the adults still loved us very much a month ago."
