Chapter 231

231 Not Tricked

“That’s right. Little Yue’er, come, let’s play sandbag!” Li Xiaoqing walked forward first and extended her hand.

Little Yue’er looked at Li Xiaoran and received her encouraging gaze.

“I’m Sister Xiao Qing, Sister Ran’s biological sister! Little Yue’er, don’t be afraid. Come and play with us!” Li Xiaoqing said warmly.

When she heard that Li Xiaoqing was Xiaoran’s sister, Little Yue’er had more trust in her.

!!

Just like that, under Li Xiaoqing and Little Huzi’s lead, the group of people brought Little Yue’er to play.

Du Yue, who was originally a little timid, finally smiled happily under everyone’s lead.

Seeing that Little Yue’er had the childish look she should have, Li Xiaoran finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Are you worried about her?” At this moment, Luo Cheng, who had disappeared for a while, came to Li Xiaoran’s side and asked.

Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard her man’s voice.

“Children at this age are gullible! They can’t tell right from wrong, and don’t know how to resolve their sadness. When they’re bullied, they don’t know what to do. They only think that they’re not good enough, so others don’t like her and don’t want to play with her.”

“There are also some children who are traumatized and hurt by these things, which become scars that they will carry for the rest of their lives and will be recalled from time to time in the future. In serious situations, these things can cause children to become psychologically unstable. They will also view everything pessimistically, take revenge on others, or hurt themselves!”

Luo Cheng didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say such a thing, so he was stunned.

“Not everyone will turn out like that!”

“That’s right. Not all children will be like this. There will be a small number of determined children who grow from difficulties and ordeals. The more they suffer, the braver they will be. They will turn those suffering into motivation and push themselves to improve! However, it’s undeniable that in the future, those children will still be heavily scarred. Even when they grow up and have the ability to protect themselves, they will still have childhood nightmares deep in their hearts!” Li Xiaoran said as she looked at Luo Cheng.

“Can I ask you a question? Why do you enter that dream every time you’re injured?! Why did that ice cave become your nightmare and why were you always trembling in that dream?” Li Xiaoran asked bluntly.

Luo Cheng’s face paled in an instant. He didn’t answer or retort.

“Some things need a lifetime to heal from! Luo Cheng, don’t be afraid. Face that dream! Only by facing it bravely and walking out will you no longer be trapped by that ice cave!”

With that, Li Xiaoran turned around and went to a few elders who were talking.

She was going to ask about Little Yue’er’s family!

Little Yue’er was already heartbroken. As time passed, she would gradually recover under the care of her new friends.

However, Little Yue’er’s family was also very important. The most important thing was for the adults to guide the child appropriately and give her a sense of security.

“Wait, don’t ask. I can get someone to investigate what you want to know!” Luo Cheng suddenly caught up and grabbed Li Xiaoran’s hand. “Besides, I have something to ask you for help with!”

When Li Xiaoran heard that Luo Cheng needed her help with something and that Luo Cheng would help her investigate Little Yue’er’s situation, she nodded.

After informing Li Xiaoqing and Little Yue’er, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng went back.

When they reached home, Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran to a very remote room.

When she opened the door, she saw someone tied up in the room.

On closer inspection, it was a familiar person.

“Why is he here?” Li Xiaoran exclaimed.

The person was none other than Third Master Xue, whom Li Xiaoran had seen before.

However, this time, Third Master Xue wasn’t blindfolded. Instead, he looked up at Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.

“He came here himself! I wasn’t at home just now because he lured me out!” Luo Cheng stared at Third Master Xue and said, “I asked him why he was here, but he refused to say anything. He only said that he wanted to see you!”

“See me? Why?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in confusion.

“I made a deal with your man. I have a favor to ask you!” Third Master Xue looked at Li Xiaoran and said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she sneered.

“Impossible, you’re sowing discord! Third Master Xue, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person! I know my man very well. He wouldn’t make a deal with you!”

Third Master Xue raised his eyebrows and glanced at Luo Cheng before continuing to sow discord. “If that’s the case, why would your man bring you over without telling you?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she glanced at Third Master Xue.

“There are some things he doesn’t have to say for me to understand!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran dragged a chair over and sat a certain distance away from Third Master Xue.

“Let me guess. You didn’t just come to ask me for help this time! If possible, you also wanted to capture me!” Li Xiaoran looked at Third Master Xue and said firmly.

When Third Master Xue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his pupils dilated, and then he laughed.

Li Xiaoran ignored Third Master Xue and turned to look at Luo Cheng.

“Why do you want to know?”

“It’ll be the same as usual. I’ll interrogate him while you watch!” Luo Cheng replied.

Li Xiaoran nodded and moved the stool to the corner. She watched as Luo Cheng moved a stool and sat in front of Third Master Xue.

“Why did you try to capture my wife?” Luo Cheng stared at Third Master Xue and asked.

“You believe everything I say?” Third Master Xue looked at Luo Cheng and replied with a smile.

“Tell me!” Luo Cheng said. “Or let’s change the question. How did you determine our identities?”

Third Master Xue still remained silent.

To Third Master Xue, it was fine as long as he didn’t speak.

However, he had underestimated Li Xiaoran. Even if he didn’t speak, Li Xiaoran could still sense his emotions very clearly.

“Husband, if he doesn’t want to say it, just leave him here! It’s almost time to make dinner! Don’t let an outsider affect our mood!” Li Xiaoran stood up and said.

Luo Cheng nodded and stood up. Then, the two of them were about to leave together.

“Wait!” Third Master Xue was a little anxious when he saw that these two people really planned to abandon him here.

“Ignore him. Leave him alone for a while!” Li Xiaoran said.

Luo Cheng nodded and left with Li Xiaoran.

At this moment, Zhao Xiu and Li Shun also returned with smiles on their faces.

It seemed that they had a lot of fun in the village today!
