In the village, Old Li took his silly son Xiao Li up the mountain at dawn. After the rain, there were more mushrooms on the mountain. They wanted to pick as many mushrooms as possible early in the morning to sell them in town and earn so living expenses.
Xiao Li had a bell hanging around his neck, jingling as he walked. Old Li feared that if he didn’t keep an eye on him, Xiao Li might wander off. With the bell around his neck, he didn’t have to watch him constantly; he could just listen to the sound.
As the two walked along, they looked for mushrooms near the big trees. Suddenly, they heard a woman’s voice behind them.
"Wait a mont!"
The father and son were startled and turned to see a girl, who was dirty all over. Old Li was puzzled at first. Upon closer inspection, he realized that although she was dirty, she was quite pretty and unfamiliar, not like soone from around here.
"Miss, do you need sothing?"
Bai Yiran stumbled a few steps to Old Li’s side. Her legs had curled up in the tree hollow all night, and when she suddenly stood up, her legs felt weak.
Old Li quickly reached out to support Bai Yiran, "Miss, what’s wrong with you?"
Bai Yiran was very excited. After such a long ti, she finally saw soone. She knew she was saved, completely saved.
Seeing this suddenly appearing girl crying and laughing without saying a word, Old Li couldn’t help but wonder if she was also ntally challenged?
It seed possible; in this remote wilderness, a young girl was here, all dirty, crying and laughing alternately.
If not ntally challenged, then what?
Old Li glanced at his silly son, thinking that this girl looked similar to his son when he had an episode.
Between her sobs, Bai Yiran said, "Sir, please help ! I’ve been kidnapped, and I need to call the police. Do you have a phone? Could you lend it to ?"
Old Li pursed his lips and looked at Bai Yiran, thinking to himself that she was indeed ntally challenged. In this mountain, it was just her, and he didn’t see anyone kidnapping her!
"I don’t have a phone..." Old Li replied.
"No, ha ha, no!" Xiao Li said foolishly beside him.
Old Li glanced at his silly son, then turned to Bai Yiran, "How about this, miss? I’ll take you down the mountain. We have a phone at ho, you can borrow it."
At this point, Bai Yiran couldn’t afford to think too much; the priority was to leave the mountain!
At seven in the morning, the sky was already bright. Leng Yichen and Wang Hai were ready, standing at the door waiting for Xiao Qiao.
Inside the room, Mrs. Qiao held Xiao Qiao’s hand, "Daughter, I’m not being unkind, but when you go up the mountain later, don’t try too hard to find that woman. It’s best if you don’t find her at all. You need to seize the chance with a man like Leng Yichen. It’s best to make a move while he’s staying here for the next couple of days. Then, I’ll make him marry you, and you can move to the city and beco a wealthy wife, allowing as your mother to enjoy life too!"
Xiao Qiao blushed, "Mom, what are you saying!"
"What did I say? Isn’t it obvious? If Leng Yichen wasn’t interested in you, would he be staying here for several days? He says he’s searching for a wife, but could his wife from the city get lost in our mountains? Besides, my Xiao Qiao is the most educated and prettiest girl in the village, more than enough to match that Leng Yichen!"
Listening to her mother, Xiao Qiao felt self-mockingly. Mom hasn’t seen Leng Yichen’s wife to think she’s this beautiful, right?
Thinking of Bai Yiran, Xiao Qiao felt uneasy again. That woman was so roughly taken back by that man yesterday; could she already be dead?
Actually, it would be better if she were dead.
Xiao Qiao was stunned, quickly shaking her head. How could she have such a vicious thought?
