Chapter 9 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot



She died in her previous life in the late 1980s, and she had no idea about the future. However, before she was reborn, she read an entire book and, through the author's perspective, she knew everything.

In the future, society will be very developed. Every household will live in high-rise buildings, everyone will own a car, and everyone will have meat to eat every meal and new clothes to wear every day.

There are also mobile phones and computers. No matter how far apart two people are, as long as they have mobile phones and computers, they can see each other and chat face to face, just like they are next to each other.

She must strive to live until that time, so that she too can live that kind of life.

After leaving the post office, Wen Xi quietly put the stamps into the system warehouse, and then headed to the supply and marketing cooperative. At this time, there were significantly fewer people in the cooperative than before. She first walked around to learn about what each counter sold, and then went to the back to queue up.

While queuing, she took out some tickets from the system's warehouse. Her family treated her well, but her second brother treated her the best. Every month when he received his salary, he would give her all the tickets and a portion of the money. It could be said that Wenxi had never lacked money since her second brother started working.

When we went to Wenxi to work in the countryside, we brought many things from home. In fact, we didn't lack much. But nowadays, interpersonal relationships are very important in the countryside.

If you don't want to be isolated and helpless, you have to integrate with the villagers.

So Wenxi bought several kilograms of cheap fruit candies. With these, she could get along well with the children in the village and have more helpers.

Afterwards, Wenxi bought a bag of brown sugar, a serving of peach shortbread, four padlocks, three pairs of yellow shoes for work, three pairs of work gloves, and three pairs of boots. This is in central and southern Taiwan, and there are leeches in the farmland. She had been bitten in her previous life, so she had to be well prepared in this life.

After buying the goods, Wenxi did not linger at the supply and marketing cooperative. Instead, she carried the goods out of the cooperative. As soon as she came out, she saw an old woman with a sallow complexion and a headscarf covering her head at the entrance of the alley across the street. She was holding a little girl tightly in one hand and had her other hand on the little girl's face, but it looked more like she was covering the little girl's mouth.

The little girl was dressed beautifully and cleanly, wearing delicate little leather shoes. It was clear at a glance that she was not someone that a poor family like the old woman could afford to raise; she must have come from a wealthy family.

Wen Xi immediately realized that this must be a human trafficker.

"System, system, human traffickers spotted ahead, what should we do?" Wen Xi was unarmed and definitely no match for the human traffickers. If she went to report to the police now, it would be too late. If she followed them, she might get caught up in the mess herself.

In this life, she still wants to live a good life!

Seeing the old woman hunched over and running into the alley, glancing back to check the situation as she ran, Wenxi hurriedly and cautiously followed from a distance.

"Host, watch me," the system responded, and then took action.

Wenxi didn't see it make a move; she only saw the old woman fall to the ground with a thud, without making a sound, probably having fainted.

The little girl in his arms also fell out, rolled twice on the ground, then sat up, looking confused, and then cried out in fear.

Wenxi quickly stepped forward, helped the little girl up from the ground, and did a quick check. She didn't find anything obviously wrong. It seemed that the person had just abducted her and hadn't had time to take her back yet, so they hadn't had time to do anything to her.

"Little sister, do you know this person?" Wen Xi asked, pointing to the old woman on the ground.

It would be bad if we wronged someone.

But her intuition told her that there was absolutely no connection between the two of them.

The little girl stopped crying, looked at the old woman's face, and then shook her head in panic, "I don't know her, she's the one who grabbed me, she's a bad person..."

Seeing the little girl's panicked expression, Wen Xi quickly pulled her into her arms, gently patting her back to comfort her, "It's alright, it's alright, I've already dealt with her. We'll take her to the police station in a bit and make her go to jail so she can never hurt anyone again, okay?"

The little girl sobbed, "Okay."

Just then, a young man in a police uniform suddenly appeared at the alley entrance. He was slightly out of breath, and the sweat on his forehead shone brightly in the sunlight.

Wen Xi was just worrying about how to get to the police station when a patrolling policeman appeared. She quickly picked up the little girl and went over, whispering, "Officer, we've found a human trafficker here. He just drugged this little girl..."

Wen Xi looked up and was immediately drawn to the man in front of her. He was handsome and dashing, with a high nose bridge and deep eyes that seemed to look at everything with deep affection. His features were as clear as if they were sculpted, and his tanned skin looked healthy and sexy. His long legs looked powerful and explosive.

Although Wenxi is still young and doesn't plan to find a man, there's nothing wrong with appreciating handsome men, right? After all, everyone has a love for beauty!

Wen Xi was sizing up the man, and the man was naturally sizing up Wen Xi as well. He couldn't even look away from her. When he realized it, he forcibly pulled himself back to his senses. It was unbelievable that someone could make him unable to look away without him noticing.

"Daddy, Lili was almost kidnapped by bad guys." The little girl stepped forward and hugged the man's leg, crying in fear, "This sister saved me, otherwise Lili would never have seen Daddy again."

Wenxi hadn't expected him to be married. No wonder he had a mature charm. But people get married very early these days, even men get married at seventeen or eighteen. So it's normal for him to be married. After all, he's good-looking and has a good job, so there are plenty of people who want to marry him and introduce him to potential partners.

Yan Zheng had told Yan Lili to call him "Dad" when there were other women around, not "Uncle," but today, the way she called him "Dad" made him feel like there was a lump in his throat.

They really shot themselves in the foot.

Yan Zheng squatted down, put his arm around Yan Lili, and said softly, "Lili, stay with your sister for a while, Uncle will go and catch the bad guy, okay? Otherwise, if the bad guy wakes up and escapes, we won't be able to catch him later."

Yan Lili wiped away her tears and nodded, her voice choked with emotion, "Okay."

Yan Zheng pulled Yan Lili to Wen Xi and sincerely thanked her, "Comrade, thank you for saving my niece. You saved not only my niece, but also our whole family."

My older brother and sister-in-law work at a research institute. Lili is their only child, and they leave her at home in their parents' care. If Lili were successfully abducted, their parents would feel guilty and remorseful for the rest of their lives. They might even become seriously ill and never recover…

He didn't dare to think any further, so he was truly grateful to the little girl in front of him.
