Wen Xi planned to walk further inside before flashing into the system kitchen, but as she ran, a sudden feeling of weightlessness struck her, followed by a 'thud' as she fell into a place. She felt intense pain all over her body, which made her tears flow even more fiercely.
Why is she having such bad luck today?
First she broke up with her boyfriend, and then she encountered a thug. Is she going to lose her life here today?
Wen Xi tried to sit up despite the pain, but found that she couldn't use her arms at all. Even the slightest touch caused excruciating pain. She didn't know if her arm was broken or fractured.
So Wenxi had no choice but to try to move herself, to find a foothold so she could slowly sit up and figure out where she was.
But she had only moved for a short while when she fell again with a 'thud'. It turned out that she had first fallen onto an object, and now she had actually fallen to the ground.
Wen Xi grimaced in pain, her facial features almost contorted.
She slowly moved herself, leaning her back against the object, and then struggled to sit up. She looked around and at the overhead sunlight, which made Wenxi suspect that she was in a cave. However, the cave was very deep and did not look like a hunting trap, because there were no large prey in this place, so there was no need for such a large trap.
Furthermore, even if a trap were to be set, it wouldn't be this deep, otherwise there would be no way to retrieve the prey. Also, there were no bamboo skewers stuck at the bottom of the pit, so it can be confirmed that this is not a hunting trap.
If it really was a hunting trap, Wenxi's body would probably have been pierced by bamboo skewers the moment she fell in, and she would be dead by now!
How could there possibly be any chance to observe this cave!
Wenxi leaned against the object, trying to slowly stand up, but a piercing pain shot through her ankle again. She had no choice but to stand on one leg and lean her whole body against the object before she could carefully examine it.
These objects are boxes, stacked together like the treasure boxes in Qin Mi's basement in the mission world. I wonder if these boxes contain any treasures.
Unfortunately, each box had a padlock on it, and without a key, she couldn't open them. Remembering that she had a master key, Wenxi quickly took it out, opened the box in front of her, and lifted the lid. What she saw was a golden expanse.
Wen Xi stared in astonishment, never expecting that so much gold was hidden in this mountain. She then picked up a piece of gold and examined it closely. To her surprise, there was a family mark on the bottom of the gold, meaning that she could no longer keep this gold for herself.
It's a bit of a pity, but I can hand it over to the country, which is how I can contribute my meager strength to the nation.
Wenxi stored the first box in the warehouse temporarily, then opened the second box. She opened all the boxes and looked at them. Among them were two boxes of jewelry, containing pearl necklaces, gold hairpins, gold necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry. The jewelry had no markings on it, so Wenxi put the two boxes of jewelry into the warehouse.
The gold was left in the cave and arranged in the same order as before. After they came out, they went to find Qin Mi and told him about it.
Jin Changfeng wasn't here, and there wasn't enough time to notify him, so the credit had to go to Qin Mi.
Of course, the prerequisite is that she has to get out and leave this place first.
She dared not go up now, because she was afraid of running into that middle-aged man again. At his age, he probably had a wife and children, and maybe even grandchildren, yet he laid a wicked hand on a young girl like her. It showed how vicious he was. She definitely couldn't let him go after going up, otherwise someone else would suffer in the future.
Wenxi wasn't a doctor and didn't know how to treat her own injuries. Moreover, since she couldn't stand up, she had no way to treat the injury on her shoulder. So she slipped into the system kitchen, found some painkillers in the first-aid kit, and took them to temporarily relieve the pain.
Hearing her stomach growling, Wenxi realized that she had been hungry for a long time. So she quickly served herself a bowl of rice and used a large bowl to cook some stir-fried mushrooms and greens, stir-fried wood ear mushrooms and yam, and boiled river shrimp. She was injured today, so she would avoid spicy food.
After eating and drinking her fill, Wenxi didn't go out. Instead, she used the machine to make persimmon cakes. It wouldn't be safe for her to go out in her current condition. If she ran into someone, she wouldn't be able to escape, and she couldn't just disappear in front of others. So she decided to wait until tomorrow, when her ankle wasn't hurting so much and she could walk normally, before going out.
There was food and dried meat in Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue's room and kitchen, so her disappearance would not affect their lives at all.
The machine was running, so Wenxi didn't have to worry about anything. She just sat and waited. Gradually, she got sleepy and fell asleep in the system kitchen.
She had made arrangements here a long time ago. In some special circumstances, it is possible to stay here, but the time inside and outside are different. A lot of time may have passed inside, but not much time has passed outside!
The next morning, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue got up and came out of their room. They found that Wen Xi's door was still locked and there was no movement. Both of them were very worried.
“Xiaoxi used to come home late, but she always did. She’s never stayed out all night like this before. I wonder if something happened to her.” Shen Jiaojiao frowned, looking very worried. “Should we report her missing?”
"I think we should ask Qin Mi first. After all, Qin Mi's house is big and has many rooms, so it's possible that Xiao Xi might stay there for the night," Jiang Yue said thoughtfully.
Wen Xi must have gone to ask Qin Mi about the situation yesterday, right?
I don't know whether Wen Xi left after inquiring or stayed at Qin Mi's house. If she stayed, it wouldn't be appropriate for a lone man and woman to be alone together...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue hurriedly said, "Jiaojiao, please ask Captain Qian for leave for me. I'm going to find Qin Mi and see if Xiaoxi is there. If she's not, we'll have to report the case to Yan Zheng."
"Um, if anything happens, have them investigate quietly. Don't make Xiaoxi's matter public, lest it ruin her reputation. A girl's reputation is especially important. If her reputation is ruined, even the old bachelors in the countryside probably won't want to marry her. Even if they are willing to marry her, they will definitely make things difficult for her because of these things." Shen Jiaojiao frowned, her eyes full of worry.
Jiang Yue nodded, "I know. The three of us live together. If Xiaoxi's reputation is ruined, we won't have a good reputation either, so don't worry!"
