"Master, let's go to Maoge Town."
Jiang Xi took a deep breath and felt that even the air in Shen City was fragrant.
"Okay, let's go."
Master Huang stepped on the accelerator and drove out from the passenger area of the train station, but his eyes could not help but glance at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, very good-looking, fair but not unhealthy pale, her skin as translucent as if it were the finest white jade, and her complexion was excellent. Although she had no expression on her face, just sitting there properly made her look like a person walking out of a painting, beautiful and energetic.
Can……
It's just a little strange.
Mr. Huang has been a taxi driver for many years and has met all kinds of people, ugly and beautiful, rich and poor, pretty and not pretty. But no matter who they are, they will try their best to keep themselves decent when going out. But this girl is different. She is sloppy. The collar of her white T-shirt is stained with yellow, the cuffs are inexplicably missing half, and even her ripped jeans look like they have been rolled in mud - forming a huge contrast with her clean and pretty face.
"Fell?"
Jiang Xi supported his chin and looked out the window silently, ignoring Master Huang's attempts to talk to him.
In her previous life, she had returned to Shen City once, but at that time, Shen City was a huge empty city and a place of endless sadness to her. She came with hope and left in despair. In the end, until her death, she did not dare to set foot in Shen City again.
The Shanghai market twelve years later is not much different from twelve years ago.
This small southern city has always been slow-paced, and the people of the entire city, Shen, lack the liveliness of a big city. Their behavior is very elderly-like, as if they are out of touch with the times.
“…I didn’t fall.”
Jiang Xi's voice was hoarse.
It took Master Huang a while to realize that the girl was answering his previous question, "Then how did it become like this? My parents will be heartbroken later."
Jiang Xi couldn't think straight, because the thought made him want to go home: "Master, can we drive faster?"
Master Huang said "Oh" cheerfully, changed gears and accelerated, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the taxi shot out like an arrow, like a slippery fish, skillfully weaving through the flickering lights of the city.
Maoge Town is about an hour's drive from Shenshi Railway Station. After Jiang Xi paid for the train ticket and taxi fare, there was not much money left from the money he had taken with him.
But this kind of dirty money will be used up once it is spent. Jiang Xi didn't care much about it. He walked hurriedly into the alley with the few coins left in his pocket.
The night was dark, with only dim street lights along the way. Jiang Xi's heart was like a pot of boiling water, gradually boiling over with time.
Turning the alley, a low tube-shaped building comes into view.
The three-story building, with no support on either side, stood alone in the night, its doors alone. There wasn't even a light downstairs. Jiang Xi climbed upstairs as if it were normal. Her home was on the third floor, the second room on the left. It was a 50-square-meter, one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, barely enough to afford a meal.
But even this 50-square-meter house was bought by Jiang Xi's father with the money he had saved for most of his life - he borrowed 300,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and scraped together 600,000 yuan to finally buy this second-hand house.
The location is not bad, it is close to her current high school. If the house wasn't so shabby, the price would have to be raised a bit based on the location.
There is a light inside the door.
Jiang Xi took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? It's so late."
With a murmur, the door creaked open and a strange man in shorts and bare chest opened the door.
Jiang Xi was startled. The woman behind the man poked her head out. Seeing that it was a young and beautiful girl, her face immediately fell. She twisted the man and said, "Great, Li Quan'er, your mistress has come to your door."
Li Quaner was wronged.
Jiang Xi was a little confused, "...Who are you? Where are the people who used to live here?"
The person next door heard the noise and opened the door. Seeing it was Jiang Xi, he was shocked: "Xiaoxi?"
"Aunt Liu." Jiang Xi subconsciously grabbed the old neighbor's sleeve, his lips pale: "Where are my parents?"
She didn't dare to imagine another possibility -
Oh my God, if the butterfly effect really exists in this world, Jiang Xi hopes that all the misfortunes will only befall him.
Aunt Liu looked regretful. "Xiaoxi, where have you been? Your parents sold the house a few days ago and went out of town to look for you."
——The house was sold?
The woman who bought the house looked at her warily: "We've already paid the money and signed the contract. You can't take it back."
Jiang Xi knew that to sell a house so quickly, it would have to be sold at a very low price, and the new owner would have made a huge profit. However, "I'm glad that no one is hurt."
Aunt Liu's pitying look made Jiang Xi feel uncomfortable. She knew that everyone in the area probably knew that she had been kidnapped. There would be a lot of rumors, and the house would have to be sold sooner or later.
Jiang Xi borrowed Aunt Liu's phone, and this time his father answered quickly: "Hello?"
The familiar voice passed through the barrier of sixteen years and poured directly into Jiang Xi's right ear.
Aunt Liu looked at the little girl who clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles were exposed. She didn't care about her phone and sighed secretly: What's going on?
"Dad, I'm back." Jiang Xi said softly, "I'm back, Dad."
Father Jiang couldn't hide his excitement and sighed, nodding repeatedly: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Jiang's mother was beside her, her voice changing tone: "Is it Xixi? Is it Xixi?!"
