Tongxian is a small county in Jiangnan. Although it is small, it is rich in products, especially embroidery and cloth business, which is particularly developed. More importantly, the public security here is very good. Throughout the year, apart from the dog of the family in the east of the city going missing and the cow of the family in the west of the city dying of disease, there is nothing serious.
But recently, a lot of things have happened in Tong County. First, children have been going missing from time to time, and then a murder case occurred.
This was big news, and the quiet Tongxian County was suddenly in an uproar.
The deceased was a widowed woman, whom everyone called Liu. She lived on Wutong Street in the city and made a living by selling embroidery. She was kind and had a good relationship with her neighbors. She lived a peaceful life with her seven-year-old son. But such a quiet and unassuming woman suddenly died at home.
The wound on her neck was clean and sharp, indicating that she had been killed with a single blow. Her belongings were intact, and her clothes were also in good condition. No one in the government office had any leads on how to catch the murderer.
Feng Guang thought that as long as the male and female leads showed up, the murderer would be caught easily. But unfortunately, the male and female leads have not yet appeared.
And she... she looked at her reflection in the river, which looked like a six-year-old girl, and she sighed deeply.
Logically speaking, no matter which world she goes to, she should belong to the world she has lived in since childhood. However, the system will speed up the time progress and keep her age at the time when the plot unfolds. But this time is different. She has grown from an infant into a little girl in a full six years.
She wanted the system to speed things up, but the system ignored her. That's how the system always is; it only pays attention to her when it's in a good mood. Otherwise, it completely ignores her.
She had been thinking that the system had become more and more humane lately.
She threw a pebble into the water, and ripples immediately spread across the calm lake surface.
Just like her mood, she just couldn't calm down.
The white cat beside her meowed at the willow tree on the other side.
The beautifully sculpted little girl touched the cat's head. "Little Embroidered Ball, what's wrong?"
This is Feng Guang's pet. Just a year ago, she found a stray cat on the street. Its fur was soft and fluffy, and she named it Xiao Xiuqiu (Little Embroidered Ball).
Little Hydrangea meowed softly again. Fengguang looked in the direction the cat was calling and saw a little boy hiding behind the willow tree. When he saw her looking over, he seemed to be startled, took a step back, tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground.
Feng Guang picked up the little embroidered ball and walked over. As she approached, the boy's face turned even redder.
"Who are you? What are you doing hiding here?" She bent down slightly and looked down at the boy sitting on the ground.
The boy looked to be only seven or eight years old. His clothes were made of ordinary fabric, and he seemed to be a child from an ordinary family. However, he was quite handsome, and in a few more years, he would probably grow up to be a dashing and debonair young man.
Feeling nervous under her gaze, he blurted out, "I wasn't hiding here spying on you!"
"Oh~ you were hiding here to spy on me."
His face turned bright red, and he wished he could slap himself.
Feng Guang found the little boy's behavior quite amusing, and she asked with a smile, "Why are you peeking at me?"
“...You’re beautiful.” His voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, as if he wanted to disappear into a hole.
