Chapter 513 The Beaten Baby
Chapter 513 The Beaten Baby
Bao couldn't carry such a big bag. She scratched her head and said, "I'll go into the mountains again when I have time."
"You guys go back first. If you have anything, come to my house to find me. I will tell you before I leave."
"It would be bad if someone saw us."
No matter how reluctant the animals were to leave her, they had to leave because it would not be good if they were seen by other humans.
Soon, a large group of animals left.
Mu Baobao sighed unhappily. She hadn't played in the mountains for long when someone came to look for her.
Unlike before, she only needed to tell her grandma and she could play in the mountains until evening.
"I am here."
She cheered up, raised her little paws and waved them. When she got back, she would talk to her elder brother and ask him to let her have a good time in the mountains.
however--
When Mu Baobao was taken home by several guards, stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork was waiting for her.
"Kneel down!" Mu Ping said with a straight face, holding a thin bamboo stick in his hand.
Mu Baobao shuddered and knelt on the ground obediently, "Big Brother..."
Zheng Xingguang and Shangguan Quan wanted to plead for mercy, but Sang Ye stopped them with her eyes. This time the baby sneaked into the mountains, which was indeed a big problem and he had to be taught a lesson.
Hua Yun couldn't see anything, so she simply stood at the door of the main room with her back to Mu Baobao.
"Didn't I say that you are not allowed to enter the mountains without my consent?" Mu Pingping looked at Mu Baobao angrily.
Baby Mu lowered his head and pointed at his finger, "Brother, the mountains are very safe. I used to play there often."
Mu Pingping became even angrier, "You're right!"
"Stretch out your right hand!"
Mu Baobao stretched out his right hand tremblingly, his face pale, "Brother, can you please not hit me?"
"No!" Mu Pingping suppressed his soft heart and hit her palm with a stick.
There was a "pop" sound.
Sang Ye and the others were heartbroken after hearing this. They wished they could rush over to protect the baby, but they couldn't.
Hua Yun covered her ears with her hands, deceiving herself.
Mu Baobao pouted, tears welling up in his eyes, he was about to cry but not cry, "Brother, it hurts."
"It hurts, that's right." Mu Pingping still had a stern face. "Now you're brave enough to sneak into the mountains."
"If I don't teach you a lesson this time, I don't know what you will do next time."
Baby Mu held his beaten hand and sobbed, "Big Brother never lets me go into the mountains, so I sneaked in."
"Besides, this is our home, nothing will happen."
Mu Pingping snorted, "Is that the question?"
"You sneaked into the mountains, which is a serious matter."
"To put it bluntly, if something happened to you in the mountains, what would you do?"
"Also, have you ever considered that everyone will worry about you?"
"You only care about your own happiness and don't consider whether others will worry. This is a very selfish behavior."
Mu Baobao finally realized where he was wrong and tried hard to hold back his tears. "I'm sorry, brother. I shouldn't have stolen the sodium metal without telling you and without your consent."
At that time, she thought that since her elder brother always disagreed, she would sneak into the mountains. After all, she was at home and had so many friends in the mountains, so nothing would happen.
Only now did she realize how wrong she had been.
Seeing that she had admitted her mistake, Mu Pingping slowed down his tone and said, "Baby, even if you think there is nothing dangerous, you can't fail to tell everyone, and you can't fail to bring guards."
"Look, if you didn't tell anyone, everyone would be so anxious and worried about you."
There was a cry in Mu Baobao's babyish voice, "Brother, I won't do this again."
"Okay, okay, baby knows she's wrong." Hua Yun hurried forward and picked up the little junior sister.
"The baby is still young, it's normal for him to be playful. We can just teach him slowly."
Sang Ye and a few others joined in.
"Yeah, the baby is still young, just teach her slowly. Besides, she knows she's wrong."
"Baby is bored in the village alone, and no one plays with her."
Mu Pingping was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that he was the bad guy and these were all good people who loved their baby.
He rolled his eyes and didn't bother to say anything else.
"Baby, let Second Brother see the palm of your hand." Hua Yun took out a small bottle of ointment from her sleeve.
"This is a medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Rub a little on the baby's hand and it will be fine."
Mu Baobao obediently stretched out his right hand that had been hit, sniffed, and said, "Second Brother, it doesn't hurt."
"Big brother is doing this for my own good. I did something wrong this time."
There was a red mark on the palm of her fleshy hand.
Hua Yun frowned at the sight, feeling extremely distressed.
"It will be fine tomorrow." Hua Yun took some ointment with her right index finger and gently rubbed it on the palm of Mu Baobao's hand.
Mu Baobao felt the coolness in his palms, which was very comfortable. "Second Brother, this ointment is so effective. My palms don't hurt anymore."
Hua Yun put the ointment away and patted her little head. "I used a lot of good medicinal herbs to make this."
"Remember what your eldest brother said. Always tell me where you are going next time. Got it?"
Mu Baobao nodded his little head and said, "Second Brother, I'll remember this and I promise I won't do it again."
She didn't want to be spanked again, it hurt.
Hua Yun said, "Just remember it."
"We were so scared when we found you missing that we almost sent all our guards and secret guards out to look for you."
Only then did Mu Baobao realize how much trouble he had caused by sneaking into the mountains. "I'm sorry."
"I wanted to go into the mountains to play, but my brother wouldn't allow it, so I sneaked in."
Hua Yun explained, "It was because of the rain before. We have been busy these past two days and haven't been able to take care of you."
"Tomorrow, Second Brother will take you to the mountains to play, okay?"
Mu Baobao looked at his elder brother.
"No need. I'll take the baby into the mountains in the afternoon so she won't feel guilty." Mu Pingping said.
The baby’s secret must not be known to outsiders.
Hua Yun had no objection, as long as someone followed the baby and they knew where she was.
"I found that the children in the village don't like to come and play with the baby. What's going on?" Shangguan Quan wanted to ask before, but never found a chance.
Mu Baobao pouted and snorted, "Some are jealous of me, and some are told not to play with me by the adults at home."
"Bao Bao has been favored since she was young, so some people in the village are inevitably jealous," Mu Pingping explained. "Some people in the village wanted to plot against Bao Bao but failed, so they spoke ill of her behind her back."
"And then there's the situation that the baby mentioned."
"My grandmother was also worried that the baby would be bullied by the villagers... She had been bullied before, so she didn't play with the children in the village much anymore and only played with Zhang Juhua."
Shangguan Quan said, "I didn't expect that such things would happen in such a small village."
"It's normal. Where there are people, there will be disputes." Sang Ye said, "As the saying goes, three people make a tiger."
