It was already after seven o'clock in the evening when she and Xiaoyu escaped from Kongjia Village. The sky was getting dark and the road could not be seen clearly.

There were no street lights near Kongjia Village, so they could only use the dim moonlight to run towards the road that Sixth Sister told them.

Xiaoyu was too young and ran out of energy after running for a while.

Zhang Tianen had no choice but to take him and find a secluded place to rest.

They waited until daybreak before continuing on their way.

However, as he walked, Zhang Tianen discovered that something was wrong.

She didn't see the large willow tree that Sixth Sister-in-law had mentioned. Instead, there were countless paths leading to unknown directions in front of her.

She didn't know whether Sister-in-law Six had made a mistake, or whether they accidentally went in the opposite direction last night.

Zhang Tianen tried hard to identify the differences between several roads. In the end, she chose a road that seemed to be frequently used.

Her guess was correct. When the two of them were exhausted, they finally saw the driveway.

But since they saw the driveway, they haven't seen a single car.

Xiaoyu, who had not eaten for two days and one night, was so hungry that his legs were weak. Zhang Tianen could only move his legs with faith in his heart.

They decided to wait by the driveway. If such a big thing happened in Kongjia Village, the police would find out sooner or later.

As long as they wait for the police car, they'll be safe.

The idea was beautiful, but the reality was that they waited until it was dark again before a shabby van drove by.

"Girl, why are you bringing a half-year-old child to the roadside?" the driver asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth. "Are you lost? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Zhang Tianen felt a little wary. She had been kidnapped once, and that time she was betrayed by a friend.

She shook her head and said, "Our parents are right in front. I'm taking my brother out to use the bathroom."

"Haha, really?" The driver glanced at Zhang Tianen's appearance and licked his lips obscenely.

At this time, Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said aggrievedly: "Sister, I'm hungry..."

He was short and couldn't see what was in the car window, but he could smell the food.

Although he had lived a poor life in the village before, he had never experienced such hunger as now.

The driver smiled and threw some bread and candies down. Zhang Tianen was still about to say something when the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"Could it be that he is a good man, but he is just a little ugly?" Zhang Tianen muttered in his heart.

However, there was finally food. She handed the bread and candy to Xiao Yu, and only took a cushion for her stomach.

The candy wrapper at that time was a colorful square paper. After peeling the candy out, Zhang Tianen did not throw away the candy wrapper, but used the candy wrapper to fold a few lifelike roses.

Xiaoyu watched intently. Children in Kongjia Village rarely go to school, so they naturally don't know that paper can be folded into such exquisite roses.

He carefully put the roses into his pocket, fearing that he would lose them.

It was night again, and the two of them sat in the grass beside the driveway, looking at the deep sky.

"Xiaoyu, you know, every star in the sky has its own name. Look at the brightest star, it's called the morning star. The ones next to it are..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tianen felt a dull pain in the back of his head.

"You want this child, right? This girl looks pretty good, do you think she would like...Okay, okay, I understand, I will do as you ask."

A few seconds before she fainted, she saw that the man was wearing a mechanical watch on his left wrist. It was the same model worn by the driver she met during the day.
