Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 230: Escape from the Mountains (11)

The kidnapping of the beloved daughter of well-known entrepreneur Chen Xianhua.

My beloved daughter Chen Shanshan was kidnapped in xx city on October 1997, 10. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 8 million yuan. Mr. Chen prepared the ransom as required, but the hostage disappeared!

The timing is right too.

Could it be that the biological mother of the original owner and Xiaohua is Chen Shanshan, the daughter of entrepreneur Chen Xianhua?

There was no more information in the newspaper, and much of the content about Chen Shanshan had become blurred and faded.

There is only a landline number at the end of the article. If there are witnesses with information, please call the above number.

There is one telephone in the village, the only one, which is located in the village chief's house.

Last time she only searched the room where the village chief's aunt lived, and had not had time to search the village chief's house.

But the phone call was made in the 1990s, and it has been 17 years now. I don’t know if I can still get through.

Xiaocao wrote down the phone number, carefully folded the newspaper and hid it.

It was probably just a coincidence that this newspaper was posted at the village chief's house.

As far as she knew, except for some young people who had attended primary school, everyone in the village, like the village chief and his aunt, was illiterate.

Even if they could read, they probably wouldn't connect these two people together.

There was no photo of Chen Shanshan published in this newspaper.

...

When I went out in the afternoon, I met Aunt Hua who was leading a cow.

Xiao Cao took the initiative to greet her: "Auntie Hua, are you going to herd cattle?"

Aunt Hua said, "It's that stinky kid of ours. I only found out the cows were still in the cowshed when I came back at noon. That idiot didn't even go out to herd the cattle all morning!"

Aunt Hua’s son even asked her to help herd the cattle!

Xiao Cao said, "Auntie, let me help you herd cattle from now on. It's not far anyway."

Aunt Hua said, "How can that be possible?"

"It's okay. Last time you gave us wild peaches to eat, I helped you herd cattle. It's not like I haven't let you go before."

The cows of Aunt Hua's family were sold to them by Li Yuliang. She also knew that her son was lazy and always asked Xiaocao to help him herd the cows.

As long as there are children in the village, herding cattle is the job of the children, and the adults have to go to the fields to work before dawn.

Aunt Hua said, "Okay, I'll ask your uncle to pick some peaches for you later."

Xiaocao nodded.

After seeing Xiaohua off, Xiaocao came to Wang Yuanyuan's house.

Wang Yuanyuan's family is one of the few wealthy families in Xiaoba Village. They have a two-story main house and two small houses next to it.

The yard is also very large, with walls made of stones and some vines climbing outside the walls.

Xiaocao knocked on the door of the yard, and then a little girl with two braids opened the door.

This is Wang Yuanyuan’s sister.

"Are you looking for my sister? She's on the second floor. I'll call her for you."

Wang Yuanyuan's sister turned around and shouted to the second floor: "Sister! Xiaocao is looking for you——"

Wang Yuanyuan, hearing the noise, came out of the room and stood on the second floor to take a look.

"Xiaocao! Why are you here? Come up!"

...

Wang Yuanyuan's house is bigger than the village chief's house.

Wang Yuanyuan also has her own separate room, which is very clean and has a white mosquito net over the bed.

"Xiaocao? Why are you here?" Wang Yuanyuan was sitting by the window weaving ropes, and there was a sugar jar on the table.

Wang Yuanyuan took out a piece of malt sugar from the jar and handed it to her.

"No, don't you want to eat?"

Xiao Cao didn't take it. Instead, he took out the blueprint Wang Yuanyuan had drawn from his pocket, spread it on the table, and asked, "Can you explain it to me? I'm a little slow-witted and can't quite understand it. Can you demonstrate it to me?"

Wang Yuanyuan first took a look, and when no one was on the second floor, she whispered, "Oh, isn't my drawing obvious?"

"This is our Xiaoba Village. Go from here. There is a big tree in this place. Turn here and go straight..."

Wang Yuanyuan told Xiaocao the story.

Because there are many mountains and hills, you have to make many turns to get around the mountains.

"Do you understand?" Wang Yuanyuan threw a piece of malt sugar into her mouth.

Xiaocao nodded: "I understand."

She folded the blueprint again and put it in her pocket: "Then I'm leaving."

Wang Yuanyuan held Xiaocao's hand and said, "Xiaocao, how much money have you saved now?"

Xiaocao casually said a number.

Wang Yuanyuan said, "That's so little! I've already saved seventy-eight yuan!"

Xiaocao was surprised: "Does it cost so much to go to the county town?"

Wang Yuanyuan said, "Of course I want it. I can't be broke when I get to the county town."

"But how am I going to find you then? The county town is definitely much bigger than the village."

Wang Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "Doesn't the village chief have a phone at home? Call me later."

Xiao Cao said, "But I don't know how to use the phone."

"What's the big deal? Come on, I'll teach you!"

"It's not good that the village chief is at home."

"Oh, the village chief is not at home at this time, only his aunt is here, and my mother just asked me to send a few bottles of wine to the village chief's house."

Wang Yuanyuan's home is not far from the village chief's home, just a few steps away, and you can hear the sound of children reading in the school from afar.

The village chief was indeed not at home, and his aunt was still the same as she was in the morning, lying in the sun.

Seeing Wang Yuanyuan and Xiaocao, the old woman opened her eyes and greeted Wang Yuanyuan, passing Xiaocao over her. "Yuannier, are you here to play?"

Wang Yuanyuan said, "Well, my mother asked me to give a few bottles of wine to the village chief."

After carrying a few bottles of wine into the house, Wang Yuanyuan took Xiaocao into the village chief's house, where the phone was placed under the windowsill.

Xiaocao glanced at the village chief's room. The furnishings were still very simple, and the layout was similar to the room of the village chief's aunt next door.

"Look, just pick this up and press the number on it."

Xiaocao said, "I'll try."

As she spoke, she picked up the receiver and hung up the phone in her mind.

Wang Yuanyuan thought she just pressed it casually and laughed at the side.

As expected, the call didn’t go through, the number was no longer in service.

Xiaocao put down the phone without leaving a trace, and said in surprise, "It's amazing, there's a sound inside."

"That's what the textbook says about telephones."

"Yeah, if it works, we can hear each other even if we're far apart."

Xiaoba Village is very poor, with high mountains and far water. Electricity was only available a few years ago, and telephone service has only been available for two years.

After separating from Wang Yuanyuan, Xiaocao was about to go around to Dr. Wang's house.

At this time, she heard the sound of the village chief returning.

"That's not possible! All the girls nowadays go out to work!"

"Auntie, where is Liu Guifen now?"

"It's been ten years. How would I know? He must have moved to the county town a long time ago."

"She's quitting now?"

"How should I know?"

"Did she leave her phone number?"

"No."

Liu Guifen?

Are you referring to the human traffickers? Is it Liu Guifen who sold those women here?

It seems that the village chief's aunt is indeed in collusion with human traffickers.

Damn old woman.

Xiaocao concentrated and held her breath, but the two of them only chatted for a few sentences before nothing else happened.

Seeing that the two had no intention of continuing the conversation, Xiaocao had no choice but to leave.
