As the saying goes, there are thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
We took precautions day and night, but something finally happened.
Jiang Xiwu couldn't help but shed tears when she said this. She choked up and said, "It's all Mom and Dad who have let our daughter down. Fortunately, Captain Xu was there, so we could know what happened later."
Bai Yuzhi knew that the Captain Xu Jiang Xiwu was referring to was Xu Xu.
According to Jiang Xiwu's recollection, it was near dusk when she and her husband Bai Shuhui suddenly received a strange phone call.
"If you don't want your daughter to lose her life, then you'd better stop immediately and call off the experiment that is currently being conducted."
The voice on the phone was that of a middle-aged man. Jiang Xiwu said that his voice was not that of a vicious criminal that she knew, but rather sounded a little guilty.
Those words didn't seem to come from his heart, but more like he was instructed by someone.
However, the situation was urgent at the time, and Jiang Xiwu had no time to determine the identity of the person over there. She and Bai Shuhui immediately contacted Bai Yuzhi's class teacher and Grandma Bai.
The information received confirmed Bai Yuzhi's mysterious disappearance.
At the same time, she was not the only one missing, there was also another missing girl.
This girl is Xu Xu.
Bai Shuhui and Jiang Xiwu immediately drove to the town. The school had already called the police, but no matter how the police searched the mountain, they could not find any suspicious signs.
Just when Bai Shuhui and Jiang Xiwu were already in despair, Xu Xu suddenly appeared.
She was still carrying the unconscious Bai Yuzhi on her back.
"She was carrying you on her back, covered in mud and dust, with slap marks on the corners of her mouth," Jiang Xiwu recalled. He had a particularly clear impression of the incident and could still remember what Xu Xu looked like at the time: "She walked towards us step by step, looking very tired and frightened, but she still brought you to us."
"Your father and I are extremely grateful to her. We immediately contacted Xu Xu's parents and asked what kind of compensation Xu Xu wanted."
Jiang Xiwu wiped the tears from her face. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on her. Even though it had been nearly ten years, she could still recall the despair she felt at that time.
Bai Yu asked, "What did she want?"
Bai Yuzhi has always believed that a person's most essential character will not change. Even after experiencing the end of the world, the appearance of some things is not something that did not exist before the end of the world. It is more likely that she has always been like this, but has hidden her true nature.
Until the end of the world, this kind of concealment becomes unnecessary, so it will be revealed naturally.
Therefore, regarding the so-called reborn heroine Xu Xu, whose temperament changed drastically after rebirth and who suddenly turned from a kind girl into a selfish person, Bai Yuzhi believed that she had the seed of change hidden in her heart from the very beginning.
This kind of seed will not germinate easily under normal circumstances, but once a certain special moment comes, you will find that it has actually taken deep roots and will quickly grow into a towering tree without you noticing.
Xu Xu must have done something when she disappeared that time, which made her not want to save the original owner's life after being reborn in the apocalypse.
Perhaps, the "reward" she received was something like that.
Jiang Xiwu smiled and said, "She's not a greedy person. Your father and I prepared 500,000 yuan to repay her for saving your life, but Xu Xu refused to take it. She said that we were classmates and it was her duty to save you."
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiwu sighed, "But, you lost a jade pendant at that time. It was left to you by your grandmother. When your grandmother passed away, you were still too young. She gave you this jade, saying that since her name contains the character '玉', it can bring you good fortune."
"Perhaps, that jade pendant really protected you from disaster. Only when the jade was gone did you return safely."
Bai Yuzhi fell into deep thought.
Didn’t take anything?
How could I not have taken anything?
Xu Xu was still a child at the time. Even if we take a step back and say that she really didn't want it, Xu Xu's family lived in a small town and their family conditions were not good. How could they possibly let Xu Xu go back empty-handed?
Xu Xu's biological mother is a weak woman who cannot survive without relying on men, and her stepfather is a gambler who is greedy for small profits.
There is no way her stepfather doesn't want money.
If they really didn't take this money, the most likely possibility is that they got some other benefits from Bai Yuzhi, and this benefit made them dare not take the money anymore.
Was the jade pendant really broken at that time, or was it taken away by Xu Xu?
Bai Yuzhi tried his best to search for the memory of his original body, but there was not a trace at all.
Jiang Xiwu noticed that Bai Yuzhi had closed her eyes tightly as if she was recalling something, so she quickly stopped her: "Nannan, don't think about this. The doctor said that you were so shocked that your brain protected itself and you forgot all these things. If you force yourself to think about it, you will definitely get a headache!"
How could it be such a coincidence that the spring outing that the original body participated in happened to be the only time Xu Xu participated in a spring outing, and Xu Xu happened to be the child who disappeared with the original body. Xu Xu was even able to rescue the original body from the criminals by his own strength.
There are too many weird things, including what Jiang Xiwu said just now, the criminal's voice felt very weak.
How could someone who dared to kidnap a child to threaten Bai Shuhui and his wife be so guilty?
What's more, the original body had been hiding in the town for so long, how could he be discovered and kidnapped so easily?
There must be something strange about this.
Bai Yu questioned Jiang Xiwu: "Mom, I've forgotten what the jade pendant looks like. Do you still remember it?"
Jiang Xiwu patted his white jade hands, thinking that his daughter was feeling sorry for something, and said.
"Mom remembers it. It's a rare piece of red jade with a lifelike little phoenix carved on it. It's so beautiful. Don't worry, my dear. If you want it, Mom and Dad will help you look for it. Maybe we can find something similar. These things are a little hard to find nowadays, and they're not worth much..."
Bai Yuzhi couldn't hear what Jiang Xiwu said afterwards. When she heard the three words "little phoenix", she suddenly remembered.
Isn't this a coincidence? Today, when Xu Xu came to open the car door and pointed at her shoes, he bent down. Bai Yuzhi saw that there was a red phoenix flapping its wings just below her collarbone.
If you are wearing any jewelry like a jade pendant, that position is exactly where the pendant should be.
Such a big piece of information, but the original body of Bai Yuzhi is set to be a girl who has lost her memory.
Bai Yuzhi sneered. It turned out that the world consciousness of this world liked to play tricks.
