It turned out to be similar to what Bai Chi knew. In the three or four nearby villages, there was not a single villager with the surname Yang.

However, just as the village chief was about to leave, he suddenly came back and said:

"But speaking of the surname Yang, a few years ago, there was an educated youth who went to the countryside with the surname Yang. He brought a younger brother with him, who was only seven or eight years old, and they came to our village together."

When the village chief said this, his brows furrowed slightly and he shook his head. It seemed that there was something hidden.

Bai Chi quickly asked: "Village Chief, do you still remember the name of that younger brother?"

The village chief smacked his lips and said, "I think it's called Yun, Yun or something like that."

Bai Chi quickly replied, "Yunxiao?"

The village chief nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's the name."

It turned out to be Yang Yunxiao. No wonder he said he had a silver lock. The silver lock was of good quality, which showed that he had some wealth.

If it was educated youth who went to the countryside, then it would make sense.

After the village chief finished speaking, he turned around and asked curiously: "Ling Zhiqing, why are you asking this?"

Bai Chi knew from his expression that there must be something wrong, but it should be okay, as he didn't have any other emotions.

"I'm just curious and want to ask, Village Chief, do you know what happened to them later? Would you mind telling me?"

The village chief sighed and shook his head, "It's also a sin."

Then he started talking about this matter.

The educated youth surnamed Yang came to the village with his younger brother ten years ago. He stayed in the village for two years and fell in love with a girl in the village.

Yang Zhiqing is handsome and popular in the village. However, because of his handsome appearance, the girl's parents think he is unreliable and therefore do not agree.

The two were young and energetic, so they wanted to elope. Then one day in the middle of the night, the two adults and one child packed their bags and eloped.

Unfortunately, it suddenly rained heavily that night. When everyone went up the mountain to look for it, they found nothing.

Until dawn, the bodies of the two people floated down from the upper reaches of the river. Until that time, the two were still hugging each other tightly.

The parents of the last girl buried the two of them together.

As for Yang Zhiqing's younger brother, he has disappeared since then. They also went up the mountain to look for him, but not only did they not find the child, they encountered traces of wolves.

He sighed as he spoke, "When the child came to our village, he was only seven years old. It was said that his family background was not good, and his parents did not have time to take care of him, so he came to the village with his brother."

"The child is seventeen years old this year, and has been missing for eight years."

He shook his head as he spoke, and Bai Chi was stunned for a moment.

Seventeen years old?

Thinking of Yang Yunxiao's thin body, he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, which showed how hard his life had been in the mountains in the past few years.

I just don't know why he didn't go down the mountain to look for people. He came to the village at the age of seven, and he should have been nine years old when he disappeared. He was wearing clothes that were obviously stolen, which means that he had sneaked into the village.

Why didn’t you ask the villagers for help, but instead stayed in the mountains?

The fact that Yang Yunxiao has even forgotten how to speak is enough to prove that he probably hasn't had any contact with other people in the past eight years.

Bai Chi was feeling distressed when he suddenly heard the village chief change the subject and ask him a question.

"By the way, Ling Zhiqing, you're asking this all of a sudden. Did you find Yang Zhiqing's things at home?"

Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly. His mind raced as he said with a smile, "I didn't find anything. I was just cleaning the house today and found a character called Yang carved on a pillar."

As he casually pointed at the pillar in the corner, the village chief laughed out loud.

"It's fate indeed. Back then, Yang Zhiqing lived here with his brother, but there were other people there too. Later, many more people moved in. The house only became vacant last year."

"But there's only one child. It's a pity for him. He's very cute and has a good personality. He helps everyone look after the children while his brother is working."

The village chief said a few more words, and Bai Chi roughly figured out Yang Yunxiao's life experience and why he took care of the child.

But up to now, Bai Chi has not mentioned anything about Yang Yunxiao.

There is no need to rush about this matter. Yang Yunxiao is obviously very afraid of people now. Let him hide if he wants to. Wait for him to get familiar with the situation first. We can talk about other things after he becomes braver.

The village chief even told Bai Chi that the family where his daughter died was near the village entrance and had sent rice soup to Ling Xi before.

Perhaps because he had opened up, the village chief said a lot, and he kept talking until the people from the mountain came down, and then he left with everyone.

Fortunately, those people found the trap dug by Bai Chi, and were even looking for another place to dig a new trap, preparing to check it out early tomorrow morning.

Unfortunately, they originally thought that they might be able to find some prey in the trap discovered by Bai Chi, but unfortunately there was nothing, only the trampled trap and the branches and leaves that had fallen into the pit.

But they told Baichi that they had fixed Baichi's trap and they could go see it together tomorrow morning.

When everyone went back, Bai Chi pushed the door open and went home, and sure enough, he saw Yang Yunxiao already waiting in the room.

But before he could feel sorry for Ling Xi, Ling Xi in his arms suddenly started crying. It seemed that she was hungry. Bai Chi didn't care about anything else and could only feed Ling Xi first.

This time, Bai Chi fed Ling Xi rice noodles. It turned out that milk powder alone was not enough. He would be hungry after three or four hours.

When feeding Ling Xi, Yang Yunxiao was also watching beside him eagerly. Bai Chi simply made him a bowl and let him try it too.

Xiao Hei also jumped onto the table and meowed.

"Master, you are like raising two children."
