Chapter 2 Causes and consequences
The system felt like the sky was falling and it was about to shatter.
Why did it make such a big mistake? How did it send its good host to the ancient times? Moreover, it became a poor little cabbage that was beaten and scolded, hungry and cold.
Two years ago, Chaochao was clearly still a little girl who was loved like the apple of the eye by the whole family.
The current situation was caused by its negligence.
The system looked at the miserable host with a guilty conscience, and the scene from two years ago flashed through its mind.
Xiao Chaochao is the beloved daughter of He Nanzhou, the third son of the He family in Jiangcheng, China. The He family has a deep heritage and is a wealthy family in Jiangcheng. Two years ago, He Nanzhou competed for the same project with others and had a great chance of winning.
Knowing that he could not win, the competitor started to have evil thoughts and set his sights on Xiao Chaochao.
Taking advantage of Chaochao's third birthday, when the He family was crowded with guests, he bribed a prisoner who had just been released from prison, allowing him to sneak in, take Chaochao hostage and take off.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered before he even left the He family's gate. The kidnapper was a vicious person with murder on his hands. He knew that even if he returned Xiao Chaochao, the He family would not let him go. Not only would he be imprisoned again, but he would also not get the money from his employer.
With nowhere else to go, he drove his motorcycle into the deep forests in the suburbs. He was familiar with the forests, and as long as he escaped into them, he would have a chance to get rid of these people. If he got the money back, he would still be able to get away with it.
He had a hostage in his hand, so the He family was afraid and did not dare to act rashly, let alone crash the car.
The motorcycle drove into the deep forest, and the kidnapper skillfully left the He family members far behind. He abandoned the car and walked away only when the car could no longer drive in.
However, he underestimated the ability of the He family. He originally thought that he had shaken off the pursuers, but he didn't expect that there were already special police waiting in front of him, blocking his retreat. In a panic, the kidnappers began to rush around in the woods, entered the inner circle of the mountain, and stepped into the territory of the wild boars.
A dozen wild boars were pushing and screaming around, not only injuring the kidnappers, but also causing the pursuers behind them to be thrown into disarray by the accident.
The system came at this time. The wild boar was charging towards the kidnapper. Without saying a word, he threw Chaochao in his arms out, trying to use her to block the wild boar's attack.
At the critical moment, the system immediately bound Chao Chao and spent a lot of energy to send him to a safe place.
The kidnapper saw Chao Chao disappear in the blink of an eye. He was so shocked that he could not move. The wild boar pierced his stomach and he was bleeding profusely. However, the special police behind him did not see this scene. Although they quickly controlled the situation, when they caught up with him, Chao Chao had disappeared.
Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't understand how the kidnappers had hidden Chao Chao right under their noses, and where they had hidden him.
The kidnapper died before he was taken to the hospital, and Chao Chao’s whereabouts were never found again.
The He family lost track of the little girl.
The system was in a terrible headache. It saw Chao Chao fall on the flat ground and was sure there was no danger, so it shut down due to lack of energy.
It thought that place was the foot of the mountain, and someone from the He family must be nearby and would soon find her.
Now that I think about it, that place is indeed the foot of the mountain, but it is at the foot of the mountain of the Sixth Village of Daqi Dynasty. No wonder it ran out of energy. It originally thought that it consumed too much energy to stabilize in the turbulence of time and space, but it didn't expect that it was caused by sending Chao Chao to ancient times.
Chao Chao also fell into a coma due to entering the time tunnel, and was then picked up by the couple Hu Lai Fu and Zheng from Shangliu Village.
When the Hu couple saw Xiao Chaochao, their eyes lit up and they took the little girl home without saying a word.
Chao Chao was abducted at her birthday party. Apart from other things, as the little protagonist, she was dressed in the most exquisite way. In addition, the little girl loved beauty, she wore silver anklets on her ankles, five or six colorful rings on her hands, her hair ropes were worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the quality of her clothes was impeccable. The He family wanted to give her the best.
More importantly, Chaochao's aunt couldn't attend the event due to her busy work, so she specially asked someone to bring her a top-quality peace jade. The little girl opened the gift and put it around her neck immediately, which made her look particularly eye-catching.
Although she looked miserable after being held hostage by the kidnappers and wandering around in the woods, with her face and body scratched by branches, her clothes torn, and two rings lost, this did not affect her image as a lady from a wealthy family.
Hu Laifu and Zheng were so excited watching Chao Chao like this that they initially wanted to take off everything on her body and secretly take her away, but just when they were about to do it, they suddenly changed their minds.
Although Hu Laifu didn't know why Chaochao appeared here, it seemed that he had run out of the woods and must have been in trouble.
If they took her home and took good care of her at this time, and waited for her family to come and find her, they would definitely reward them handsomely as the girl's savior.
The immediate gains are just petty gains, so they plan to play the long game and catch the big fish.
Zheng thought it made sense. The girl looked so tender and pink, and at first glance, she must be a beloved daughter of a rich family. Otherwise, which ordinary family would be willing to let a little girl wear so many rings and jewelry on her body? Aren’t they afraid of them falling off? Especially those rings, which were not made of gold, silver, or jade, but were clear and shiny, and looked very expensive.
The system felt that Zheng had a problem with her vision as she treated the cheapest toy ring as a treasure.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that the Hu couple took Xiao Chaochao back home.
When they passed by the village, they portrayed themselves as reincarnated bodhisattvas. When they met curious villagers, they sighed and said, "Poor little girl, we don't know what happened to her in the forest. When we rescued her, a snake was coiled in front of her. If our boss hadn't acted quickly, the little girl would have been bitten. Well, we can't just leave her alone. Isn't it just one more mouth to feed? We will raise her as if we had another daughter. It just so happens that we only have one son, Baodun. Now it's good that Baodun has a companion."
The couple agreed that not only would he confirm his savior's identity, but they would also make their relationship even closer.
Now they are Xiao Chaochao's godfather and godmother. Maybe the little girl will take care of them in their old age. Even if she doesn't, since she has this status, it is only right for her to give them some benefits from time to time.
They had beautiful thoughts, and after bringing Chao Chao home, they really took good care of him, fed him well, and even found a doctor to help treat his injuries and prescribe medicine, taking very good care of him.
However, this meticulous effort finally came to an abrupt end after half a month.
