She still remembers being very scared, and she never expected that she would soon lose her life.
She clearly remembered that she died from having all the blood drained from her body. It was so cold. She watched her life slip away but could do nothing.
After death, she knew nothing. When she regained consciousness, someone told her that she had been missing for thirty years.
"Can I see my parents?"
"Dad can, but mom may not. Your mom died when she gave birth to your brother."
Zhao Ruxin's body trembled, and a faint sadness surrounded her heart.
She slowly closed her eyes, the memories of the past were still so clear.
Ji Yu waited for the other party to respond that he wanted to see his family, said something to Shen Baizhou, and took Zhao Ruxin's soul away.
A few people still had to stay here to deal with some follow-up matters, so Ji Yu went back to his room to sleep with a bag of human bones on his back.

In the living room on the first floor, Shen Baizhou made tea for the white-haired old man sitting opposite him.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Feng would have to make this trip."
"At the time, the bureau realized that the difficulty of this mission was such that Team One alone might cause trouble, so I brought Team Two and Team Three with me. But it seems like you have some skills."
"Director, you're joking. The reason we were able to rescue the missing people and apprehend those evil masters this time was because we met a master."
Director Feng asked curiously, "It's not easy to hear someone like you call someone a master. Is he still here? I'd like to meet him. If possible, I'd like to bring him to our bureau. These evil teachers have been making a lot of noise lately. I don't know what they're up to, but they're not at all peaceful."
"The truth will be revealed sooner or later, don't worry, old man."
"Okay, don't think I don't know what kind of temper you have. Even your grandfather was kept in the dark by you and really believed that you were a good grandson. You must be more anxious than me."
"No, I'm not in a hurry at all. Oh, by the way, old man, please approve some more leave for me. I'm not feeling well and not really fit for work. Maybe approve it for about a year."
Director Feng's face twitched. "A year? You want to eat p, kid? Half a year at most."
"Okay, deal."
"Sorry to bother you here, old man. I'm going to pack up and go back for vacation."
Director Feng reacted and found that he seemed to have been tricked by that kid.
"Hey, brat."
Ji Yu, who had just woken up, got into the car with a confused look on his face. A bag of dumplings and a box of Wangzai milk were stuffed into his hands.
"What's the hurry?"
"Urgent, I'm anxious."
Shen Baizhou stepped on the accelerator and the car quickly left the small village.
"If you don't leave soon, you won't be able to leave when the time comes."
Soon, Ji Yu found out the reason. He saw a white-haired old man in the rearview mirror, shouting at the top of his voice with very agile movements behind the car.
"You little bastard, it's fine if you just leave, but why did you take the person with you?"
Ji Yu raised the corner of his lips and asked curiously, "Who is he?"
"You can calculate, right?"
"You have to limit the number of fortune-tellings you do in a day, Mr. Shen, do you want to have your fortune told?"
Shen Baizhou shook his head: "What's the point of living if you know some answers in advance? But I do have a small favor that I need Miss Ji's help with."
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I will definitely give you the money."
"Okay, deal. Tell me what you want."
"I'll tell you when we get back."
Ji Yu nodded, taking a big bite of the juicy soup dumplings, and after taking out three, he threw the rest to Ali in the back seat.
Arriving at Gushu Town, Ji Yu touched the ancient tree in the center of the town with a nostalgic look.
“It still feels good to be home.”
"Miss Ji!"
A car stopped in front of Ji Yu, and the window rolled down, revealing Zhao Yuxuan and his father Zhao Lang.
Zhao Yuxuan helped his father get out of the car.
Zhao Lang looked at Ji Yu cautiously with hope in his eyes.
"Miss Ji, you said on the phone last night that you found my girl. Is that true?"
Ji Yu nodded, unzipped the backpack on his back, and took out the snakeskin bag inside.
"This is your daughter's remains. Be careful when you touch them. They are thirty years old and the bones are very fragile. The slightest force could break them."
"Okay, okay, I know, I know."
Zhao Lang could no longer hold back the tears that had gathered in his eyes and let them fall.
"My child was only eight years old when she passed away. Her mother became ill because of this incident. She passed away when Xuanzi was born. Before she died, she repeatedly told me to find her child. Thirty years have passed, and I finally found my child."
"Old man, look under the tree."
Zhao Lang turned his head slowly, not knowing if it was because of his eyesight, but he seemed to see his doll again.
Whenever he came home, his baby would sit under the tree. As soon as he saw his father, he would open his arms and rush towards him for a hug.
"dad."
Zhao Ruxin really wanted to rush over, but when she left the shade of the tree, the scorching sun outside made her body hurt.
"baby."
Zhao Lang strode over, his cloudy eyes now bright as daylight, his hands wrinkled like bark stretched out tremblingly, as if touching a fragile dream.
"Dad, you'd better not touch me. You're old and you'll get sick."
"Don't be afraid, Dad. Dad misses you very much."
"Baby misses daddy too."
Zhao Yuxuan couldn't describe his feelings at the moment. He looked at his eight-year-old sister with some surprise. Perhaps it was the throbbing of blood, but Zhao Ruxin's beautiful eyes noticed him at a glance.
"You are my brother, you have to take good care of dad."
"Yeah, I will."
Zhao Yuxuan scratched the back of his head and said, "Sis, if you want anything in the underworld, just tell me in your dreams."
"Okay, brother."
Zhao Ruxin couldn't stay with the two of them for long. Under Ji Yu's guidance, her soul attached itself to the skeleton and was taken away by the Zhao family.
After the car drove away, Ji Yu stretched and faced the sunshine.
"Oh, I finally finished this. By the way, Mr. Shen, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Oh, it's not a difficult thing. I just want Miss Ji to help me translate an article."
Ji Yu smiled awkwardly and said subconsciously: "Mr. Shen, my English may not be very good. Why don't you find a professional to come over?"
Shen Baizhou burst out laughing for a moment.
"Miss Ji, if I want to translate English literature, I can do it myself, but a few years ago I stumbled upon an animal bone. The ancient writing on it is unheard of. Although the earliest Chinese writing system, oracle bone script, is somewhat similar to it, it is more complex and more obscure."
"Miss Ji, the last time I went to your shop to buy a talisman, I found that the spell on the talisman was very similar to the words on the animal bone I accidentally found."
