Gu Yan, who was standing by, noticed Niuniu's embarrassment and said, "Let me see your bugs. Niuniu doesn't like bugs."

Gu Zhao got anxious when he heard this and said, "How could she not like bugs? She didn't say she didn't like them last time I showed them to her. How could anyone in this world not like bugs?"

Niuniu thought that after coming to her new home, both her adoptive parents and her little brother Gu Zhao took good care of her, so she wanted to grit her teeth and say that she could overcome it.

But before she could speak, Gu Yan said, "There are many people in this world who don't like bugs, but I don't like them."

Gu Zhao was only six years old, and his favorite thing was not liked by his brother. At this time, he looked like the sky was falling.

As the eldest brother of the second house, Gu Yan knew how to teach his younger siblings. He said softly, "I like bitter melon. Do you like it?"

Gu Zhao immediately shook his head vigorously and said confidently, "How can anyone like bitter melon? I only like sweet things."

"So, it's normal for some people to dislike bitter melon and some people to dislike insects, right?" Gu Yan asked.

Gu Zhao nodded as if he understood, but he didn't continue to pester Niu Niu. Instead, he continued to look for insects on the ground.

Gu Yan turned his head to look at Niu Niu, squatted down, looked at his sister at eye level, and asked gently, "Did you mean to say that you like insects too?"

Niu Niu's eyes widened suddenly. She felt that Gu Yan, the eldest brother, was just like the worm in her stomach. How could he know everything?

Gu Yan reached out and patted his sister's wet and soft head, saying, "If you don't like it, you don't like it. It's not a big deal. Don't wrong yourself casually."

Maybe it was because Gu Yan's tone was too matter-of-fact, or his attitude was too close.

Niuniu opened her mouth and said what was hidden in her heart: "But no one likes a disobedient child."

Gu Yan sighed and said: "My own children, whether they are obedient or not, will be liked by others."

What Gu Yan said was completely opposite to the signals Niuniu received in the Zhang family for five years.

She was required to be obedient, to support, to praise Jinbao as a cute child, and to appreciate all of Jinbao's hobbies in the Zhang family.

Even if Zhang Yunniang once told her to forget everything she learned in the Zhang family, it was not so easy to cut off after five years of subtle influence.

She still subconsciously followed the survival rules learned in the Zhang family and tried to find her place in the Gu family.

"I like Niuniu, not because you are afraid of or like insects, but because you are my sister. You can be willful and don't have to be so sensible." Gu Yan said seriously.

Niuniu was stunned when she heard this. The five-year-old little carrot head rarely experienced this kind of natural right arising from kinship, as if she didn't need to do anything, just relying on this identity, she could naturally get the love of others.

Gu Yan did not continue to explain, but looked up at the sky and asked: "Niuniu, are you going to pick wild fruits? We can only stay in the mountains for half an hour at most before we have to go home."

Niuniu was still standing there stupidly, but Gu Zhao, who was lying on the ground, jumped up from the ground and pulled Niuniu to run to the side: "Go find grandpa quickly, he seems to have found another chestnut tree."

Niuniu passively followed Gu Zhao and the two quickly caught up with Gu Lao, who was looking for chestnut trees in the mountains based on past memories.

Gu Zhao was still sharing his experience seriously: "Brother, you keep your word. If you say half an hour, it's half an hour. Let's have fun in the mountains. Maybe we can find some great treasures."

Gu Yan followed his younger brother and sister slowly. Although he heard his younger brother's words, he just smiled casually and didn't take it to heart.

The place where they were was the periphery of Daqing Mountain. There were basically no beasts. The surroundings looked barely familiar and there was no danger.

"The chestnut tree on the west side has very sweet chestnuts. They are fragrant after being roasted over a fire. My daughter loves to eat them the most..."

Old Man Gu kept muttering this. Not long after, he stopped under another chestnut tree. Looking at the empty branches above his head, his face was blank again.

"Grandpa, why are all the chestnuts on this tree picked?" Gu Zhao was very dissatisfied.

Old Man Gu's lips trembled, and he lowered his head to face the disappointed eyes of his grandchildren, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Gu Yan said on the side: "The places that Grandpa knows, others can also find them. Good things will not be placed in the mountains waiting for you alone."

Gu Zhao pouted, still looking unhappy, and asked: "Is there no other chestnut tree? Let's go inside."

Old Man Gu suddenly seemed to think of something, and he shuddered all over and said: "Red fruit... sour and sweet red fruit... over this hill..."

As he said this, Old Man Gu was about to walk towards the inner circle of Daqing Mountain.

Gu Zhao cheered and tried to follow.

But he had only taken two steps when he was caught by Gu Yan.

"Don't run any further! There are wild boars and big bugs in the mountains!" Gu Yan scolded.

Gu Zhao was not happy, and showed the temper of a six-year-old child, saying: "Grandpa is with me, and if Grandpa can go in, why can't I?"

Gu Yan frowned slightly and shouted to his father Gu who was still walking in: "Grandpa, grandma is calling us to go home for dinner!"

They were now at the junction of the inner and outer peripheries of Daqing Mountain, and it would be unsafe to go any further.

Old man Gu paused, turned around, and looked at Gu Yan with a confused look, but he stopped and didn't move forward.

Niuniu, who was standing by, was tired, so she found a big rock and sat down, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are we going back now?"

Her question aroused Gu Zhao's temper, and he almost rolled on the ground, shouting: "I won't go back, I won't go back, I haven't played enough!"

The noisy voices of the children were particularly harsh in the quiet mountains.

Old Man Gu walked straight towards Niu Niu, covered her ears, and said soothingly: "Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, the ghosts and ghosts can't disturb Nannan, Nannan can sleep well... She won't get sick again..."

Niu Niu might not say anything in the past, but when she thought of what Gu Yan had just said to her, she wrinkled her nose and said to Old Man Gu: "Grandpa, my nickname is Niu Niu, I'm not Nannan."

Niu Niu always felt very strange. Every time Grandpa called her Nannan, she always felt that he was not calling her, but someone else.

After listening to this, Old Man Gu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears.

The old man in his sixties, with tears falling from his dry face, kept repeating in his mouth: "Don't listen... Don't disturb you..."

Gu Zhao was already scared, and didn't dare to continue shouting, and looked at this scene stupidly.

The wind around him suddenly stopped, making the old man's crying even more creepy.

"Go back." Gu Yan said softly, pulling Niu Niu back.

But something strange happened suddenly. There was a rustling sound behind everyone, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the bushes and rushed straight towards Niu Niu.
