Just then, footsteps were heard in the distance. Su Mianmian's heart suddenly tightened. She raised her head and saw Ma Ye and Huang Yuan and their group walking towards her.
Finished.
Su Mianmian didn't take these few people seriously. She was afraid of the group of people in the cave. If they knew that she had heard something she shouldn't have heard, she would be doomed.
Su Mianmian didn't intend to fight head-on, so she went straight into the space without saying a word.
As soon as he entered, Ma Ye and Huang Yuan and his men came over.
Su Mianmian wrote down the path they took in the space, and when she got out of the space, she would just follow that path.
After Ma Ye and others walked away, Su Mianmian left the space and walked in the direction they went.
Su Mianmian looked back at the cave entrance, thought for a moment, and picked up a branch from the ground. With every step she took, she would make a small, hidden triangle.
Su Mianmian made marks along the way, but got lost accidentally. She was left behind and began to feel bitter and resentful.
I took a look at the sky and found that it was gradually getting dark.
Su Mianmian looked around. It was eerie and strange noises could be heard from time to time.
Su Mianmian looked at the road ahead. There was another fork in the road. She gritted her teeth and chose a random path.
But she did not forget the marking number and marked it wherever she wanted.
After walking for a long time, the sky had completely darkened. Su Mianmian was a little anxious. Would she have to give up here today?

Yun Family
When Shen Yuandao and others returned to the Yun family, they saw that the dining table was already filled with hot meals and the aroma was everywhere.
They started washing their hands and eating.
Yun Shu had been sitting at the table, her eyes full of worry.
Seeing Shen Yuandao and others coming back, she immediately stood up and looked around, but didn't see Su Mianmian. She asked anxiously, "Ayuan, didn't Mianmian come back with you?" Her voice was full of anxiety.
Shen Yuandao, who was washing his hands, raised his head quickly when he heard this, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Isn't Mianmian in the kitchen?"
Yun Shu's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She shook her head slightly, her voice trembling with obvious trembling, "Mianmian...she followed those people and hasn't come back until now." Her words were full of worry.
"What? When did it happen?" Su Xinzhang, who was standing by, suddenly changed his expression and his voice became hurried when he heard the news.
He widened his eyes and stared at Yun Shu closely.
Wen Yuexian had just washed her hands and walked over. After hearing the news, her eyes went dark. She only had this precious daughter. If something happened to her, how would she survive?
Jiang Ya, who was standing by, was quick to support her and said softly, "Ah Xian, don't worry. Mian Mian is very smart. She will be fine."
Old Madam Shen also hurried over and patted Wen Yuexian's arm. "Yes, Ah Xian, you can't fall down first. Mianmian is smart and clever, she will definitely be fine."
Yun Shu glanced at everyone, pursed her lips, a trace of self-blame and regret flashing in her eyes. "Just after work, six or seven people came to our door and wandered around. Mianmian was worried they might hurt us, so she asked me to take the two little ones home first. She said she wanted to go check on the situation, and then she never came back."
Her voice gradually choked up. "If only I had told you in time, it would have been better. It's all my fault..."
Shen Yuandao stood aside, his brows furrowed, as if he was trying to think of something. After a while, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He asked in a deep voice: "Aunt, did Mianmian follow those people?"
Yun Shu shook her head. "I don't know. When Mianmian left, those people hadn't left yet. But I didn't wait for her to come back. I thought she went to find you, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that she wasn't with you..." Her voice was full of helplessness and worry.
Shen Yuandao was very anxious. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Given Mianmian's personality, she most likely followed them. We have to find her as soon as possible."
"Then let's go find Mianmian quickly!" Su Qingqing shouted anxiously from the side.
"Yes! Ayuan, you know martial arts, go find him quickly!" Old Master Shen said seriously.
Shen Yuandao nodded, quickly wiped his hands, turned to Qin Huaichuan and said, "Huaichuan, you and Su Zhiqing go find the team leader and ask him to gather some people to ask around if Mianmian has left the village. I'll go to the back mountain to check, maybe Mianmian got lost there."
No one objected. They all knew that Su Mianmian went to the back mountain from time to time, so it was possible that she got lost.
"Okay, Qingqing and I will go right away." Qin Huaichuan nodded. He quickly took Su Qingqing's hand, and the two of them walked out of the Yun family quickly.
Su Qingqing was so anxious that she didn't notice that Qin Huaichuan's way of addressing her became more intimate, and Qin Huaichuan even took the opportunity to hold her hand.
The only thing on her mind was to find Su Mianmian as soon as possible, and she didn't care about anything else.
After the two left, Shen Yuandao also strode out of the Yun family. However, just as he stepped out of the door, Su Xinzhang called out to him from behind: "Wait, I'm going too."
Su Xinzhang paused, then added, "Don't worry, if the captain asks, just say we helped find it out of gratitude."
Seeing this, Yan Tongchun followed closely behind, "And me."
Shen Yuandao stopped and looked back at the two of them. He thought the captain wouldn't care about these things.
He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go find it together."
When Shen Yuanlu passed by his house, he ran in and took out two flashlights and handed one to Su Xinzhang and the other one.
Soon the three figures were submerged in darkness.

Captain's home
Su Qingqing and Qin Huaichuan hurried to the captain's house. As soon as they entered, they saw the captain's family sitting around the table, eating dinner.
The team leader was no longer surprised to see the two of them, and several young educated youth would come to see him at mealtime every day.
The team leader joked, "Why aren't the educated youth Shen and Su here today? What urgent matter do you two have? You haven't eaten yet, come on, have a bite." As he said that, he enthusiastically picked up the steamed buns on the table and prepared to hand them to the two of them.
The two of them felt a little embarrassed in the face of the captain's enthusiasm.
Thinking of Su Mianmian's disappearance, Su Qingqing could no longer care about these things. She said anxiously: "Captain Uncle, Mianmian is missing!"
When the captain heard this, the relaxed smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by confusion: "What? How could a living person disappear?"
Qin Huaichuan quickly added, "Captain, after work, the group of people who came last time came again. We suspect that the educated youth Xiao Su may have followed them."
When the captain heard this, his face darkened, and he suddenly put down the steamed bread in his hand. His brows were furrowed, as if he could pinch a fly to death: "This girl is always causing trouble for me!"
