Chapter 347: Calling for help
Hu Feng knew where the red fruit trees were . There was a small forest nearby . And there were a few red fruit trees in it . Last year, when the villagers harvesting peanuts, a child fell on the red fruit tree and died .
“Don’t go . I’ll go with you after cutting this part . ”
Bai Zhi bowed her head and cleaned up the pot and bowls . She didn’t see the serious look in Hu Feng’s face . She also didn’t hear what he said . She simply said: “Okay!”

Hu Feng took the sickle to start working, while Bai Zhi took their things back to the carriage . She then took the bamboo pole she brought before and went to the distant woods .
The woods were a bit far from the wheat fields in the village, but close to the peanut fields . At this time, people were busy harvesting wheat, no one can be seen in the peanut fields at all .
Bai Zhi walked along the path . When she was about to enter the woods, she saw two children, aged 7 or 8-years-old rushing out the woods and looked in panic . One of them even fell on the roadside . The other child, who was in the front didn’t even care . He ran away with all his might as if someone was chasing after him .
The boy who fell climbed up from the ground, patted the soil on his clothes a few times and ran away with loose hair .

Bai Zhi wanted to stop the boy and ask him a few questions, but before she could open her mouth, the child had run away . She didn’t see who’s the boy in the front, but she recognized the boy who fell . It was the son of Wang Daniu . When he came to her to buy rice, he took his son . The boy was particularly naughty . At that time, there were still several steamed buns on the table . He said that he was hungry . Zhao Lan gave him a piece . But who would have thought that the boy will eat another two and then put the remaining four on his sleeve, saying that he was still hungry .
Zhao Lan had a good heart, so she just let it go . She let him hide the remaining steamed bun on his sleeve . Wang Daniu saw what his son did with his own eyes . Obviously, he was encouraging his son . He even praised his son for being smart .
Later, among those people who sold rice for a high price and caused trouble to the Hu Family, Wang Daniu was also there . He also came to complain for a personal reason .
Bai Zhi continued to move forward . When she passed through the ground where Wang Daniu’s son fell, she saw a few red fruits that were crushed .

A handkerchief embroidered with the word ‘Yun’ was left behind . It must be his mother’s name .
Bai Zhi picked up the handkerchief and a few red fruits that scattered on the ground . She was thinking to return it when she sees the boy . Otherwise, he might be beaten when he comes back home .
Bai Zhi took a few steps forward when suddenly, she heard someone crying for help . She felt like she misheard it, so she stood still and listened carefully again . And indeed, someone was crying for help in the woods .
Bai Zhi rushed int the woods with the bamboo pole . The voice was getting low and hoarse . Obviously, his condition was getting worse .
Under a tall red fruit tree, she found the person who was calling for help . It turned out to be a child, who looked like 8 or 9-year-old . On his side, there were many red fruits scattering . His blue-grayed upper clothes have many dark red spots . She couldn’t tell if it was blood or juice of red fruits .
Bai Zhi dropped the bamboo pole in her hand and rushed to the child . “What happened? What’s wrong with you?” Bai Zhi stretched out her arm and checked the boy’s pulse . His pulse beats fast and there was no sign of weakening .
The child looked at her with a pale face and said while crying: “It hurts, it hurts!”
