Lian Manman was startled, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground, scattering peanuts all over. She could not bother with that now; she hurried to the end of the field and grabbed the sisters Chun Ni and Chun Yan.
"What exactly happened, how is my mother, she was just fine when she went home from the field."
"Your mother has lost a lot of blood, Old Lady Wang from the west end of the village took a look, and said your mother might not make it, and your brother might not be saved either," said Chun Ni.
Lian Manman felt her head buzz.
"Was it my family who asked you two to come and send the message?" Lian Manman heard her own voice asking.
"No, it was my mother who told us to pass the message to you," Chun Ni said.
