Jiang Bai's eyes were blindfolded, and he was carried on someone's shoulder with his head down.
She had never seen what the man looked like.
But this man had broad shoulders, an extremely stable lower body, and something made of iron seemed to be hanging from his waist, making a clanging sound.
With his eyes covered, Jiang Bai's hearing was amplified.
She couldn't tell where the person was taking her; she could only sense that they were heading downhill.
A deep weariness washed over him, and with his head down in a congested position, Jiang Bai quickly fainted.
On the other side, Jiang Lu and Ji Yanwen waited until dark, but Jiang Bai still didn't return.
"Brother-in-law, I hope nothing bad has happened to my sister."
Jiang Lu leaned against the door, looking worriedly towards the mountain.
"No way, don't you know how strong your older sister is?"
"Who can let anything happen to her on this mountain?"
She hadn't seen many wild beasts in Pingshan. She was going to Pingshan, not to storm the execution ground. What could possibly happen to her?
"Too."
Thinking of her older sister's strength, Jiang Lu felt relieved.
The group took it for granted that they would boil the collected water and store it.
On the first day, neither of them felt anything was wrong.
The next day, the two became somewhat worried.
It wasn't until the third day, when everyone in the village was busy clearing land to plant more crops, that Jiang Bai still hadn't returned, and the two of them started to panic.
"Something must have happened to my sister."
"Brother-in-law, I'm going up the mountain to find my sister."
Jiang Lu's eyes were red, but she didn't cry. Jiang Songwen next to her held her sleeve tightly, his little face also very serious.
"Don't worry, I'll go talk to the clan chief and ask him to get the villagers to help search."
Ji Yanwen decided to be more rational. He first went to the clan chief and told him that Jiang Bai had not returned since entering the mountain. Only then did he go up the mountain with Jiang Lu to look for him.
It rained a couple of days ago, and the villagers were busy with their farming, but when they heard that Jiang Bai was missing, each household sent at least one person to help search for him in the mountains.
Jiangjia Village was busy searching for Jiang Bai's whereabouts.
On the other side, Jiang Bai woke up to find that two days had already passed.
He opened his eyes and saw a light green canopy overhead. The room was empty of furniture except for a bed and a table.
She instinctively reached out to touch her neck, but found nothing.
Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
The key to the stone gate is missing.
"Young lady, you're awake?"
A maid in a green dress pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing Jiang Bai awake, she couldn't help but show a happy expression and hurried forward.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes and immediately began acting.
"Where are my clothes? And where did my necklace go? Did you take it?"
Jiang Bai has a small, oval face, bright, sparkling eyes, and a soft, sweet voice when she speaks. When she doesn't try to suppress it, her voice has a kind of innocent, naive charm.
At this moment, her eyes were moist, and they held just the right amount of fear and panic, just like a girl who had been kidnapped to a strange place.
Cuiyi's eyes flashed, and she opened her innocent big eyes and said, "Miss, don't be afraid. We are good people. When my elder brother went up the mountain, he found you unconscious on the mountain and brought you back."
"I washed all your clothes, but I haven't seen the necklace you mentioned before. What does it look like? You can tell me, and I'll ask my older brother to help you look for it."
She pretended to be anxious and approached Jiang Bai, grabbing his wrist and pressing her fingers on his pulse point.
Jiang Bai lowered her eyelids, tears streaming down her cheeks, and cried helplessly, "That's the keepsake my mother left me, sob sob sob..."
Jiang Bai felt the hand gripping her wrist tighten slightly, and his eyes flickered.
"Then I'll have my older brother help you look for it. You're still not fully recovered, so lie down and rest. If we find it, we'll bring it to you right away."
After helping Jiang Bai to lie down on the bed, Cuiyi hurriedly went out.
The sound of the door being locked came from inside the room.
Jiang Bai got up and pulled the door open; sure enough, it was locked.
I went to open the window again, but it was locked from the outside.
After assessing the recovery of his own strength, he estimated that he had recovered to about 50%.
That's enough.
After thinking for a moment, she went back to bed and lay down, sobbing softly as if clutching her heart.
On the other side, Cuiyi hurriedly arrived at Langya Courtyard.
"Reporting to the young master, the girl said that the necklace around her neck is a keepsake left by her mother."
She knelt before Wang Shaoyang, her head bowed low.
Wang Shaoyang leaned against the soft couch, holding the key that Jiang Bai had lost in his hand, and raised his hand to examine it.
Upon hearing this, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the guard Wang Er beside him, and asked, "Did you find anything in Pingshan?"
"Reporting to the young master, nothing was found."
Why would she go to the top of Pingshan Mountain for no reason?
He murmured to himself, pondered for a moment, and then tossed the key in his hand to Cuiyi.
"Give this back to her and try to get more information out of her."
"Yes, ma'am."
Cuiyi took the key and left, not going directly to Jiang Bai's room, but instead leaving the mansion.
"Do you think those things might be on the top of Pingshan Mountain?"
The mountain road to Pingshan was rugged, and it was strange enough that she, a frail woman, appeared on the mountaintop. In addition, there was that key. Although it did not have the Yu family's mark on it, he had a feeling that it must be related to the Yu family's secret treasure.
Wang Er remained silent.
Fortunately, Wang Shaoyang had only asked casually and did not expect him to answer.
