Chapter 4



After a few minutes of stalemate, Jiang Ye came over and broke the silence, panting: "Brother Chen, so you are here, I have been looking for you for a while, and I have borrowed the clothes."

An County is not big, and Liao Weiguo is close to the hospital. It only takes half an hour to go back and forth. It would be faster if Jiang Ye ran.

"My sister-in-law cooked some porridge and asked me to bring it over, saying that a female comrade fell into the water and it would be good for her to drink something warm." Jiang Ye happily walked into the ward carrying a peony-patterned enamel cup with a lid and shook it at the two of them.

After he finished speaking, he noticed that the ward was quiet. He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Pei Manning sitting on the bed, with her head down, resisting silently, like a hedgehog raising its thorns to protect itself.

Yes! It must be Brother Shen who asked about his origins.

Han Jingchen frowned as he looked at the silent Pei Manning. He was ruthless to his soldiers, but facing the coquettish Pei Manning, he didn't know what to do with her for a moment: "I put your clothes here, change them first."

After saying that, he took Jiang Ye out and closed the door.

Pei Manning's chest heaved and she breathed a sigh of relief. She was wearing wet clothes and her limbs were cold, numb and unconscious. Although she had squeezed out some water on the way, the wet and sticky liquid stuck to her body and was very uncomfortable.

She picked up the clothes from the cloth bag and studied them for a long time before she found the right way to wear them. She changed her dirty and torn shorts and cotton pants, and then she felt her cold and stiff limbs finally warm up a little.

After changing her clothes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the gourd jade pendant on her chest. She raised her hand and touched it attentively. The white jade pendant was crystal clear and shimmering, reflecting streamer light under the lamplight.

This was her biggest secret. It was not until the summer of last year, after Grandma Cui passed away, that Pei Manning discovered that there was a mystery behind the gourd jade pendant that her mother had given as a dowry.

Inside there is a house, a spring, a few acres of farmland, and in the distance there are mountains shrouded in mist, making it seem like a paradise.

She made this piece of gourd jade into a jade mustard seed, which contained the paradise of Sumire. This gave her the confidence to go to the northwest alone, but she didn't expect that it would be useless at the critical moment.

Pei Manning stared at it for a long time before she hid the gourd jade pendant inside her clothes.

Outside the corridor, Jiang Yexiao was talking to Han Jingchen.

"Okay, Brother Chen, I'll go find Weiguo early tomorrow morning and ask him to look through the records to see if there have been any reports of people with the surname Ning or whose names contain the character Ning."

"Yeah." Han Jingchen leaned lazily against the railing with his straight body.

, he took a puff of cigarette. In the night wind, smoke rose from between his fingers, blurring his eyes and brows. It was unknown what he was thinking.

"What if her family comes and forces her to get married? What should we do?" Jiang Ye said, looking towards the ward, and said with some worry, "What if she commits suicide again..."

"She's not going to commit suicide." Han Jingchen said.

"Ah?" Jiang Ye looked at Han Jingchen, who had a calm face, bewildered.

At this time, someone came from the bathroom with a kettle of hot water. Han Jingchen put out his cigarette and said calmly, "Do you think a person who wants to die will change his clothes before dying?"

Not only did Pei Manning's clothes obviously not fit her, but they were also very dirty. However, her hands were soft and tender, with her light pink nails neatly trimmed and rounded, and the gaps between her nails were clean, which showed that she was not really a person who disliked cleanliness, and that this dress was definitely not what she usually wore.

In addition, after being rescued, she did not burst into tears or look disheartened. Instead, she looked confused, stunned, bewildered, and alert...

That kind of reaction is not a suicidal reaction.

Therefore, Han Jingchen was certain that she did not jump into the pool to commit suicide.

Jiang Ye had a blind trust in Han Jingchen. Since he said so, he believed it.

"She's not trying to commit suicide? She even changed her clothes. Could it be that she ran away from home?" Jiang Ye was very surprised. She didn't expect that Pei Manning, who looked so delicate and weak, would be so courageous.

She is so eye-catching and dumb. Isn't she afraid of meeting bad people if she runs away from home alone?

Regarding Jiang Ye's speculation, Han Jingchen did not deny it, "Let's first investigate her family situation."

"Yes." Jiang Ying nodded. What if the female educated youth who came to the countryside couldn't endure the hardship and ran away?

Recently, there have been cases of educated youth from various places unable to bear the life in the countryside and secretly fleeing back to the city.

After half an hour, the two knocked on the door and returned to the ward. At a glance, they saw Pei Manning wearing a floral cotton jacket and her black hair loose. She was sitting quietly on the bed. Her rustic and bulky clothes could not hide her stunning beauty.

When they came in, she finally came back to her senses. She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked over with a grateful smile.

She is pretty, with big, bright eyes. The black and white are so clear that they seem to be able to speak, but her gaze is as gentle as still water.

Jiang Ye felt as if she was dazed by this smile, feeling dizzy.

It wasn't love at first sight, but for a young guy, it's always a bit embarrassing to see a good-looking young lesbian.

His face is a bit

Hong walked over almost hand in hand and opened the peony-shaped enamel cup on the cabinet: "Comrade, come and drink some porridge to warm yourself up, otherwise you will be cold later."

Pei Manning nodded and stretched out her hand to gesture to Jiang Ye.

Those hands were very beautiful, with ten slender fingers that looked like scallions. Jiang Ye couldn't understand what she was gesturing, maybe she was saying thank you to him?
