Yao Ruxing opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Yan Chiyu said, "We will get your body back in the next two days."
"Thank you." Yao Ruxing nodded, relieved.
Her ancestral home was in a small village in Nanxi Town. To be precise, she didn't know where her real ancestral home was. Her grandfather's generation had migrated from elsewhere, and the Yao family was an outsider, rarely interacting with the villagers. Occasionally, she would meet two or three households, and the relationship was limited to exchanging greetings and small gifts of vegetables and fruits grown in their own gardens.
As far back as Yao Ruxing could remember, she knew that her family was not poor. On the contrary, she once heard her grandfather say that there were tens of millions of yuan in the bank cards he left for his family. The Yao family was quite wealthy.
Yao Ruxing never understood why they had to continue living in this small village.
Even when she was about to start junior high school, she couldn't get either her grandfather or her parents to take her to the city to study.
Mr. Yao called a friend for help to take Yao Ruxing to the school to complete the formalities and arrange for her to live on campus.
As she grew older, Yao Ruxing realized that her family didn't refuse to leave Lingyan Village, but rather that they couldn't.
They were as if bound by some kind of shackle, forever trapped there.
“My father said that this mark was given to us by a benefactor, and I’m the only one in our family with it.” Even as a ghost, Yao Ruxing still felt a pang of sadness and a touch of melancholy as she spoke of those fading memories. Who would have thought that in a world that reveres science, she would encounter such strange things?
“Wu Yue, if you want to find the answer, I'm afraid you’ll have to go to Lingyan Village yourselves. My grandfather is still alive, and my parents have been staying at home. Go there, tell them about my situation in my name, and they will definitely be willing to receive you and tell you about the Vermilion Bird Mark.”
Wu Yue glanced at Yao Ruxing thoughtfully, then said, "Okay."
Wow, this sounds terrifying!
Based on my years of experience reading books and watching movies, I feel that this village is extraordinary.
Isn't that obvious?
[I'm suddenly very curious, have any other villagers in Lingyan Village left the village? Miss Yao Ruxing didn't seem to mention it?]
To satisfy the curiosity of the Star Citizens, Wu Yue, after glancing at the message board, quickly asked Yao Ruxing again, "Yao, may I ask you something..."
"What? Tell me."
"Have any other people from Lingyan Village left that village?"
Yao Ruxing remained silent, lost in thought. She had been away from home for too long, and even when she returned home for holidays, her parents would send her back to school after only a few days. She had almost no memory of Lingyan Village, its people, or its events.
“In my memory, I’ve never seen them go on a long trip.” Yao Ruxing said, then suddenly remembered, “Oh, there’s another thing. There was an older boy in the village who was a good student and clever. I heard he wanted to go on a trip abroad with a fleet of ships. I remember that morning, he left the village with his luggage and didn’t come back until evening. But the next day I saw him by the crayfish pond in the village.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she added, "Well, my house is located at the entrance of the village, quite far from the other villagers' houses. People come and go from the village entrance, so I can see them clearly."
It's really strange to talk about this now.
Could there be some reason she doesn't know? Was that older brother brought back by his family who changed their minds, or did the fleet abandon him? Or did he run away on his own? Impossible, he was clearly looking forward to it back then, his face full of longing.
"I understand, thank you, Yao. We will do what we promised you. As you said, we will go to Lingyan Village."
Wu Yue took her own affairs to heart and helped her a lot these past few days. Yao Ruxing naturally thought that she should not be stingy in helping her if she could. "I will write a letter to my parents and grandfather later, and you can take it back with you."
She doesn't have her phone with her right now and can't make calls, so writing a letter is the only option she can think of.
Yan Chiyu nodded politely, "Then I'll trouble you."
