Chapter 210: The Mountain Child

Jia Yuanshan also sat up. Seeing Han Yufei's appearance, it didn't look like she had been crying!

'I guess someone brought their child here to play and they didn't manage to stop them crying!'

It's not unusual for children to cry.

Nothing strange about it.

After waiting for a while, the crying had not stopped, which made Han Songlin a little strange.

Han Songlin stood up: 'I'll go and have a look! You stay here.'

Jia Yuanshan didn't want to move at the moment, so he just nodded.

The louder the crying got, the closer he walked in the direction of the sound.

Then, on a lawn, he saw a child sitting there.

It wasn't very old, probably two or three years old.

It looked much younger than Han Songlin.

When it saw Han Songlin, it stopped crying immediately and started to sob.

Its eyes were fixed on Han Songlin.

Han Songlin did not immediately say anything, but looked around.

A child was here, but there were no parents.

This was very unusual.

Dongyang Mountain will be built into a recreational ecological area for the public by the Yanghe River in the future, but for now, there is no development at all.

The road up the mountain is still all dirt.

A goat track, you know?

It's the kind of road that can only accommodate one person.

Not even two people side by side.

As for any stone paths, there are definitely none.

Having said all this, I want to say that nowadays, Dongyang Mountain is generally not visited by many people.

Only the nearby villagers come up here to let their cows and goats out to pasture.

People who come here on purpose to have fun?

Not everyone is as idle as Han Songlin and the others.

Seeing no one around, Han Songlin instantly thought of a situation. Could it be that someone had fallen down the slope?

He quickly stood at the edge of the clearing on the slope and looked down. There was no sign of anyone having fallen!

If someone had really fallen, the grass and trees would have been crushed.

But there was nothing on this small slope.

Dongyang Mountain was high, but it was still hilly terrain.

The hillside was a bit like terraced fields, with layers going up.

So the slope between this layer and the lower layer would not be too high.

Standing at the edge, Han Songlin looked down and saw everything.

But he didn't see anyone.

Looking up the road, naturally he didn't see anyone either.

This really is a ghost encounter!

What thoughts would pop into your mind if you suddenly encountered a little girl on a mountain, as if she had suddenly appeared?

The little girl seemed to have stopped sobbing.

With the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, Han Songlin felt a little scared.

'Don't be afraid, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, spirits are not allowed, so it's fine!'

Han Songlin knew that he was just scaring himself, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

Turning his head expressionlessly, Han Songlin let out a sigh of relief, relieved that there was nothing behind him.

Looking at the little girl, he saw that she had stopped crying and was looking at him with wide, curious eyes, wondering what he was doing.

Han Songlin walked over to the little girl and scanned the lawn with his eyes, looking for anything.

But apart from the little girl, there was nothing.

Had she been abandoned?

Had the little girl lost her way?

Han Songlin didn't believe it for a second. This wasn't the city, with all the people coming and going.

This was on a mountain, and if a child disappeared, a shout would be heard.

'Hey, whose child is this?' Han Songlin put his hands to his mouth and shouted a few times at the top of his voice.

Apart from the echo in the mountains, there was nothing else.

It seemed that the little girl really had been abandoned.

Han Songlin crouched in front of the little girl, not quite sure what to do. He had lived for decades, but had never experienced a situation like this before.

From the way the little girl was dressed, her parents must have been from the countryside.

The countryside, a girl – this made Han Songlin think of something.

'Why, your parents are so heartless!' Han Songlin gently wiped away the tears on the little girl's face. She must have been so scared, all alone here before.

The little girl's big eyes stared at Han Songlin without any fear.

This child is good, not shy.

Unlike some children, she didn't cry non-stop when she was hugged by a stranger.

If the child really was abandoned, then according to common sense, there would always be something left behind.

After all, abandoning a child doesn't mean you want to kill the child.

Han Songlin thought about this and began to rummage through the little girl's pockets.

He did find a piece of paper.

But all it said was a series of numbers and a few words.

19920402

Looking at the numbers and words, Han Songlin naturally understood what it meant.

At the same time, it also completely extinguished the little bit of hope in Han Songlin's heart.

There were also words on the note: Please be kind enough to take me in!

Taking a deep breath, Han Songlin let out a sigh and picked up the little girl and left.

Seeing Han Songlin come back with a child in his arms, Jia Yuanshan was a little dazed and directly snapped, 'Old Han, you found an illegitimate child?'

Han Songlin gave Jia Yuanshan a light kick, how could he say that!

If it really was an illegitimate child, he would have simply and openly brought it home.

'Get lost!'

'Okay!'

Han Songlin really wanted to say that he didn't know this fat guy.

This guy actually rolled around on the lawn.

Doesn't he know that there is sheep shit under the lawn?

Those who live by the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live by the water live off the water!

As farmers, those with a more active mind naturally find ways to increase their income.

Raising pigs, cows and goats has become the main source of income for farmers.

If you let the goats out to graze, you will definitely let them graze on the mountain, which is very normal.

When the goats pass by, they will definitely leave something behind.

Han Songlin had seen it before, otherwise why would he be sitting on a rock instead of directly on the grass.

Liu Yuyan looked at Han Songlin curiously. She didn't think that this little girl would be Han Songlin's illegitimate daughter or anything.

'Who is this little girl?' Liu Yuyan walked over and looked at the little girl's face with some concern.

A two-year-old child's face should be white and tender, but this little girl's face was dirty.

I don't know, how long has it been since she was washed?

And the clothes, from afar, Liu Yuyan could smell a smell, not the sweat smell on Han Songlin's body.

This is all very rural!

Han Songlin let out a breath, somewhat helplessly saying, 'Before, you said you heard crying, so she was the one crying. After I went over there, I didn't see her parents, so I just brought her back.'

Zheng Lin and Liu Ling also came over, looking at the little girl, reaching out and shaking her.

The little child giggled!

She looked extremely cute.

Liu Ling frowned and said, 'If you carry her over like this, her parents won't be able to find their child, and they'll be worried!'

Jia Yuanshan also came over. Hearing Liu Ling's words, he knew that she didn't understand what Han Songlin meant at all.

'In the middle of nowhere, how could a parent just leave their child behind? This child has been abandoned by her parents.' Jia Yuanshan said, looking at Han Songlin and asking, 'What are you going to do next?'

Han Songlin placed the little girl on the blanket. Han Ting and Jia Yuanshan's daughter looked at her curiously without saying a word.

'I don't know either!'

Zheng Lin said, 'Let's call the police and have them find the child's parents and send her back.'

Han Songlin tapped Zheng Lin's little head, 'We have considered that. These parents abandoned their child, which means they don't want her. It seems like a good idea to send her back, but it's not good for them or the child!'

If it weren't for the pressure of life, very few parents in the world would be so heartless.

Han Songlin has seen heartless people before.

Soon after the child was born, it was sold for money.

When people asked, they said the child had gotten lost on the street.

How could a child get lost, still in its swaddling clothes?

Everyone knew the child had been sold, but no one talked about it.

It's as if the child had never been born. In time, that will smooth things over.
