Lin Yan's voice was full of temptation, but Lu Yingqian's face turned pale: "I'm not, I have always lived in Xiaoliang Village and have never left."
Lin Yan directly retorted: "But you have lost your memory, don't you remember anything before you were fifteen?"
Lu Yingqian stopped talking, her hands clenched tightly into fists at her sides, and for a long time she didn't know how she should react.
Lu Jinghuai spoke again: "My sister is a smart girl. Have you noticed anything wrong in the village during these years?"
Lu Yingqian pursed her lips again. Of course she had noticed that the woman who occasionally appeared and disappeared inexplicably in the village, as well as the good-looking girls of her age in the village, had also suddenly disappeared.
In the past, Lu Yingqian could still deceive herself that those girls had secretly gone out to work, but now...
She knew that Lu Jinghuai had not lied to her. The photo and the abnormalities in the village made her panic and scared.
For a moment, Lu Yingqian felt a chill on her back. What kind of village was theirs?
Lin Yan on the other side also noticed the panic emanating from Lu Yingqian, and felt a little sorry for the little girl for a moment. The parents in her memory were not her real parents, but human traffickers.
Lin Yan held Lu Yingqian's trembling, clenched fist and said, "Don't be afraid. The reason we came here this time is to find you."
Lu Yingqian hummed softly, then mustered up the courage to look up at Lu Jinghuai.
"Where are my parents? What kind of people are they? Why didn't they come to see me?"
Lu Jinghuai fell silent. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Our parents have been dead for nine years."
Lu Yingqian's pupils shrank suddenly. She bit her lower lip and asked, "Does their death have anything to do with me?"
Lu Jinghuai was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lu Yingqian to think so. He shook his head to deny it without hesitation.
"It doesn't matter. It was because your parents passed away during that time and the family was in chaos that you were abducted."
Lu Yingqian breathed a long sigh of relief, but was immediately followed by endless confusion.
"What should I do now?"
For a moment, Lu Yingqian didn't even know how to go back and face her current parents.
When Lu Jinghuai heard this, he knew Lu Yingqian's choice and breathed a sigh of relief. His sister would never let him down, so his expression relaxed.
"We can stay in the village because those people must have targeted your sister-in-law Lin Yan and another girl from the team. If nothing unexpected happens, they will take action tomorrow."
At this point, Lu Jinghuai's eyes turned cold, and Lu Yingqian also subconsciously looked at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan's heart softened at Lu Yingqian's worried look, and she smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, your brother has been prepared for this, there won't be any accidents."
Lu Jinghuai also hummed, his expression becoming more serious. "I've made all the arrangements. We can leave tomorrow. Qianqian, I want to take you with me."
Lu Yingqian paused again. She felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she heard the name Qianqian. She couldn't adapt to the identity of Lu Yingqian for a while.
She is still Xu Shan. In her cognition, Xu Shan is just an ordinary girl in Xiaoliang Village, but now she is Lu Yingqian.
She pursed her lips tightly and said "hmm" after a long time.
Lu Jinghuai's expression became more relaxed, and Lin Yan couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
Lu Yingqian couldn't help but feel a little awkward. After thinking for a moment, she said, "So I'm going back now, right? Do you still want to buy watermelon?"
Lu Jinghuai's expression softened and he nodded: "Buy it, otherwise I'm afraid of revealing some flaws."
The main thing is that there is no need to have an accident over a small matter.
The three of them went back along the path. Lu Yingqian took them to Uncle Zhang's house and bought four big watermelons.
During this time, there were also people walking on the street after dinner. They were a little surprised and puzzled when they saw the three of them together.
"Second sister, where are you from?"
When Lu Yingqian heard her own name, she subconsciously turned her head to look over but was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth but found that she couldn't speak.
The person who asked Lu Yingqian questions was an aunt who was about fifty years old. Her home was very close to Lu Yingqian's.
Lu Yingqian was speechless for a moment, but she thought of her aunt's eldest daughter, Xiuzhi.
The two are one year apart in age and are classmates, but Lu Yingqian and Xiuzhi do not have a very good relationship.
Because Xiuzhi loves beauty and likes to dress up, but the most beautiful person in the class is recognized as Lu Yingqian.
As a result, whenever Xiuzhi saw her, she would look down on her and look down on her.
But Xiuzhi also suddenly disappeared three years ago. At that time, no one except those around her felt anything particularly strange. No one mentioned Xiuzhi again, as if Xiuzhi was just a non-existent person.
Later one day, she somehow asked the aunt where Xiuzhi had gone. The aunt said that Xiuzhi thought the village was too backward and went to a big city.
It’s not surprising given Xiuzhi’s personality, but she didn’t return home for three years.
The aunt was smiling at first, but when she saw Lu Yingqian's face getting paler and paler, there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
"Why is the second sister of the Xu family in a daze? Or is she not feeling well?"
Lin Yan, who was standing by, smiled and answered for her, "I asked Shanshan to take us to buy melons. We bought two melons from an old man in the afternoon. They were delicious. We couldn't find anyone in the evening, so we asked Shanshan to take us."
At this time, Lu Yingqian finally came to her senses and explained to her aunt: "I'm fine, I just feel a little flustered today. Aunt, are you out for a walk after dinner? I have to go first."
The aunt didn't think much about it. She nodded twice and looked at Lin Yan for a moment, then said something meaningful.
"This girl is really pretty, almost as pretty as you, the second sister."
Lu Yingqian reluctantly said "hmm". For some reason, the aunt was still standing there chatting with Lu Yingqian.
"Second sister, your wedding is scheduled for next month, right?" The aunt looked curious.
Lin Yan nodded in response, but the aunt looked regretful and couldn't help but started talking again.
"You're such a pretty girl, how could your father be willing to marry you off to that brat Wang Tiezhu? Daliang Village is very poor. Don't worry, you won't even have enough to eat if you go there."
Lu Yingqian forced a smile, but found that she couldn't move the corners of her mouth. If she had heard the villagers say this before, Lu Yingqian would probably just lower her eyes shyly.
But when she heard this, her little face turned pale.
Because Lu Yingqian is beautiful, if Xu Mang is reluctant to marry her to Wang Tiezhu, who else will he marry her to?
Is her fate the same as that of the missing Xiuzhi?
