This girl was simply too dazzling. This thought flashed through Aunt Li's mind.
"Aunt Li, thank you for saving me. My name is Su Yanke. You can call me A Yan."
"A Yan?" Aunt Li had known from the moment she saw Su Yanke that she was different from others. Hearing her name only confirmed this, and involuntarily, she began to call her by this name.
"Yes, Aunt Li," Su Yanke replied obediently.
Su Yanke had a habit of smelling her food before eating. But this time, she couldn't tell what kind of meal it was just by the smell.
Su Yanke scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it into her mouth. Her first impression was that it was very rough, and her second was that it pricked her mouth!
Su Yanke instinctively wanted to frown, but thinking that this was Aunt Li's kind gesture, she forced herself to suppress the movement.
Although Su Yanke was a bit hungry, she really couldn't get used to this kind of food. She only took two or three mouthfuls before putting down the bowl.
"Jiejie, can you be full with just this little bit?" Xiaobao tilted his head and blinked his big, dark, and shiny eyes as he asked Su Yanke.
"Sister is full! Thank you for your concern, Xiaobao!"
Su Yanke replied with a smile. Sensing that the voice was very close to her, she reached out and accurately placed her hand on Xiaobao's head, gently stroking it.
Aunt Li noticed Su Yanke's reluctance to eat and explained,
"A Yan, in our area, the harvests have been poor in recent years. The common people can only eat some bran to fill their stomachs. Judging from your noble bearing, this must be the first time you've eaten such food. I'm sorry we don't have anything better to offer."
"No, no, Aunt Li. Thank you. I'm the one who's causing you trouble!" Su Yanke quickly shook her head and handed the bowl back to Aunt Li.
"It's okay. It was my husband who saved you. I didn't do much." Aunt Li reached out to take the bowl, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Where are you from, A Yan? How did you end up alone on the mountain behind Tianjia Village? It's very dangerous up there!"
Su Yanke was also very confused. She shook her head to indicate that she didn't know either. Seeing this, Aunt Li didn't ask any more questions.
Afraid that Su Yanke was still weak after just waking up, she took Xiaobao out, leaving Su Yanke in a quiet environment to rest.
Su Yanke instinctively reached for the things on her body, but found that they were all gone.
She was shocked. Her clothes had also changed. Could it be that she had transmigrated again?
"A Yan, are you feeling unwell?" Aunt Li asked in confusion when she saw Su Yanke's actions.
"Aunt Li, my clothes..."
"Oh! I changed them. I saw that your clothes were wet. It's so cold that I was afraid you'd catch a cold. I'm sorry I didn't ask for your permission!" Aunt Li said apologetically.
"No, no. Thank you, Aunt Li. There are some very important things in my clothes. Can you bring them to me?"
After Aunt Li agreed, she soon brought back Su Yanke's clothes and a white silk ribbon.
"A Yan, here are all your clothes. See if anything is missing."
"Thank you, Aunt Li!" Su Yanke took them and felt around. She let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything was still there.
"A Yan, your looks are too eye - catching here. And since your eyes aren't well yet, this is the Yun fabric I was rewarded with when I worked in a wealthy family before. A Yan, just make do with it for now!"
Su Yanke was touched by Aunt Li's thoughtfulness. She thanked her and took it.
The fabric felt silky in her hand. Its length and width were just right. When she felt the edge of the fabric, her fingers paused. This fabric had been cut. Aunt Li had made it especially for her!
The panic Su Yanke had felt because she couldn't see gradually gave way to a warm feeling.
"Okay, A Yan, you rest well. I'll go out first!"
After Aunt Li left, Su Yanke sat still for a while, holding the things in her hand.
Su Yanke was thinking about her current situation and her future plans. She had disappeared suddenly. Yuan Hexiao must be very worried!
At this moment, Yuan Hexiao had just gotten off the plane. Since his heart had panicked uncontrollably, he couldn't sit still and rushed straight to the airport.
On the way, Yuan Hexiao didn't know how many calls he had made. Su Yanke's phone was always unavailable, and Manager Liu's line was always busy.
Yuan Hexiao had to use his personal connections to find out about Su Yanke's itinerary. After two days of traveling, he finally reached the grassland. But all he saw were worried - looking staff members. There was still no sign of Su Yanke.
Yuan Hexiao searched the area and quickly spotted Manager Liu. He rushed over to ask,
"Xiao Liu, where's A Yan?"
"Little ancestor, she..." Manager Liu was still a bit dazed when he suddenly saw Yuan Hexiao. At the mention of Su Yanke's name, his voice choked up.
"What's wrong with A Yan? Speak up!" Yuan Hexiao's voice trembled slightly.
Their commotion caught the attention of others. When Lu Xingmi heard Yuan Hexiao's address for Su Yanke, he tightened his fist. So the letter Yan Ke had been looking at on the plane was written by him.
A bitter taste filled Lu Xingmi's throat.
"Yan Ke... is missing. We're all looking for her. Calm down!"
Just as someone was about to put a hand on Yuan Hexiao's shoulder and he was about to dodge, he heard this news. His body froze on the spot.
"Mi... missing? When did this happen?" This hoarse voice not only startled the others but also Yuan Hexiao himself.
"It's been three days, and there's still no news..." Lu Xingmi's tone also became低沉.
"Three days... three days..." Yuan Hexiao kept repeating this sentence. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, his mind fixed on an item - the purple copper coin!
"Where was A Yan last seen?"
"Last... she was supposed to meet the clan leader!"
Yuan Hexiao and the others quickly went to the clan leader's house to check. But the clan leader said that he hadn't even had the chance to say he wanted to meet Su Yanke. How could she have known in advance?
Lu Xingmi and the others looked at each other in surprise. What was going on? Someone had definitely come to pick up Su Yanke to meet the clan leader. They had all heard it!
Chen Maohua was the first to object. "Impossible, old man. Are you forgetting? I opened the door myself. How could no one have come?"
But no matter what they said, the clan leader insisted that he hadn't done it.
Yuan Hexiao had regained his calm. He looked at Lu Xingmi and asked, "Do you have the shooting records from that time?"
Yuan Hexiao's words woke everyone up. Lu Xingmi and the others, being in the middle of the situation, had temporarily forgotten about this. After being reminded by Yuan Hexiao, they quickly contacted the photography team to come over.
In the clan leader's house, a large group of people gathered around a small photography screen and watched intently.
"How... how could it not be there? Did I see a ghost that day?" Hou Yuheng suddenly stood up, his face full of panic.
On the camera, after Chen Maohua opened the door, he found no one outside. Su Yanke came forward, said something to Chen Maohua, went back to pick up an easel, and then went out alone.
After watching, Chen Maohua suddenly understood. Someone with special abilities like Su Yanke was behind this!
After watching, Lu Xingmi lowered his head and remained silent, as if thinking about something.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Yuan Hexiao knew that this matter was indeed strange. It seemed to be related to the purple copper coin!
Yuan Hexiao quickly dialed a mysterious phone number. After a long conversation, he hung up the phone and said to everyone, "We don't even know where Su Yanke disappeared last. The search area is too large. I've called in some professionals. They'll be here soon. I hope everyone will cooperate so that we can find Su Yanke as soon as possible!"
Yuan Hexiao knew that ordinary people couldn't do much in this situation. It was time to mobilize the secret organization!
The people in the secret organization had abilities different from ordinary people. After systematic training, these abilities became even more prominent. There were many things in the world that couldn't be explained by common sense, and that's when they were needed.
Normally, as the leader of this organization, Yuan Hexiao should have evacuated the crowd and isolated the area at the first sign of such an incident. But Yuan Hexiao was extremely anxious and didn't want to waste a single moment in rescuing Su Yanke. More people meant more hope!
At this time, Su Yanke had been thinking for a long time. But due to the long - term mental stress, she gradually fell asleep.
Su Yanke was woken up by the noise of some children.
Since Su Yanke's eyes still couldn't see, she didn't know what time it was or how the room was arranged. She could only feel her way around little by little. Fortunately, her martial arts skills were still there, and her senses were very sensitive. She could tell the position by sound.
"Shorty, sickly kid, no one loves you, you're so annoying..."
Several children shouted these words loudly together, completely unaware of how much harm these words could do to a sensitive - minded child.
But the verbal abuse clearly wasn't enough for these children. One of the black and chubby boys picked up a fist - sized stone from the ground and was about to throw it at the child in the middle.
Just as the stone was about to hit the child, a figure flashed by. Su Yanke estimated the approximate position of the child based on the sound of the stone flying through the air.
Su Yanke hugged the child just in time to avoid the stone. Her first impression of the child in her arms was that he was so light, and his bones were sticking out.
"Jiejie?"
Su Yanke was startled when she heard this voice. She said hesitantly, "Is that Xiaobao?"
Xiaobao in Su Yanke's arms let out a soft "hmm" and then remained silent, only tightly clutching Su Yanke's clothes. His body trembled slightly.
Su Yanke's heart skipped a beat. A stone this big would be completely unbearable for a thin child like Xiaobao. She didn't even want to imagine what would happen if it had hit. The bones would definitely be broken.
From Aunt Li's conversations, Su Yanke had guessed that this family's situation was probably quite difficult. In such a situation, a child's broken bone could be life - threatening!
