Chapter 118: Ruins



Gu Yan was tall and strong. He clenched his fists and looked fierce. Everyone who saw him took a step back unconsciously.

Gu Yan spread his hands and protected Ye Jin in front of him.

He turned his head and stared at everyone fiercely.

"Sorry, today's ginseng..." Before he could even utter the three words "not for sale", someone couldn't help but rush over.

“I want to buy a bag of ginseng!”

"I want two bags!"

"I want one too!"

"Are you sure? Can you come up with so much money?" Ye Jin's eyes lit up, then he frowned and asked.

A bag of ginseng costs 1,500 yuan. Although people don’t like to keep their money in banks these days and most people carry cash with them, there are still very few people who can afford a bag of ginseng.

1,500 is not a small amount of money, and only wealthy families can afford it.

More and more people gathered, and the entire carriage was packed.

The ginseng had been sold out, but everyone was still reluctant to leave.

"Just sell us a little more. We have money!"

"It's going to be sold anyway, so it doesn't matter who I sell it to."

"We're out of whole packs, are there any loose ones left?"

Everyone's requirements are getting lower and lower, but Ye Jin really has nothing to offer.

"There really is no more. Let's go back. If I have any ginseng slices in the future, I will definitely sell them to you."

Ye Jin was just saying it casually. In such a vast sea of people, the chance of meeting a stranger again was very slim.

Some people were persuaded and slowly left on their own, but some were unwilling to leave and still stayed around and refused to leave.

"Gathering is not allowed on the train. What are you doing with one or two people?"

"The train will arrive soon, let's go."

The conductor said it several times, but some people still refused to give in.

Gu Yan stood in front while Ye Jin quickly packed up her things.

For the first time, she realized that the medicinal herbs were so effective and sold in such short supply that they could produce such miraculous effects.

I guess it’s because we’re on the train, and if we miss this opportunity, we’ll miss it forever, so everyone cherishes it especially.

Under the escort of the train police and Gu Yan, Ye Jin finally retreated to the train exit.

Seeing how big a commotion they were making, the people around them immediately took precautions.

The group of people who were eyeing them with eager eyes all looked ferocious. Seeing the uniformed conductor so alert, everyone immediately imagined a big drama in their minds.

Could these people be bandits? They brazenly hijacked a train and even forced the police to retreat. How bold!

The next second, everyone crouched down and retreated in unison.

Ye Jin's puzzled look was forgotten, and everyone immediately looked terrified, and in the end they were still muttering to themselves.

Can't see me, can't see me!

As they spoke more excitedly, their voices grew louder, and those who were pestering Ye Jin to buy ginseng slices looked up in confusion.

I saw a group of idiots retreating in strange movements.

“We’ve been discovered!”

Everyone was terrified and turned around and ran away. Some people couldn't help but shout, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't know anything!"

"You're fucking sick!"

"What have we done? Are those people crazy?"

Everyone looked puzzled, and Ye Jin finally understood that the group of people probably had misunderstood something.

Gu Yan also understood, and the two smiled at each other.

The conductor coughed uncomfortably twice. "Ahem, comrades, you've already caused panic. Could you please restrain yourself and stop following me?"

The conductor was still trying to persuade them, and the train slowly stopped.

It turned out that they had arrived at the station. The door opened and Ye Jin jumped out first with a bag in her hand, followed closely by Gu Yan holding a bag of luggage.

"Everyone, see you later!"

Ye Jin waved to the people who were chasing her. She smiled brightly, and a small canine tooth was faintly visible in the sunlight.

The train started slowly, and those who were sticking to the glass windows and watching her go away still felt a strong sense of unwillingness in their hearts.

Ye Jin's face also darkened at this time, and she looked up at this strange city.

It's almost spring, but here it's still covered in snow and ice, with a biting cold wind.

My sister, who was only eight years old at the time, was taken to this remote place and sold by that beast Wang Fengqin.

Coming from the warm south to the cold north, how did my younger sister survive all these years at such a young age?

Thinking of this, Ye Jin's eyes became moist.

"It's okay, we will find your sister."

After getting off the train, the two followed the clues they had found, asked along the way, and finally found the place that Niu Er mentioned after crossing mountains and rivers.

But when they arrived, this remote village had already become a ruin.

"No, impossible!"

It was getting dark, and Ye Jin, who had been running around for several days without any results, finally collapsed.

The clue that we finally found after so much effort was broken just like that. Anyone would not be able to bear it.

"Jinjin, it's okay. Let's take a look around."

Gu Yan's mood also sank to the bottom. He had been tracking this matter, and each time he was just one step away from success, but this time the clue was cut off at the critical moment.

He was more devastated and in a worse mood than Ye Jin, but he couldn't show it.

No matter what time, he will be her strongest support.

If he too collapsed, the spirit of both of them would be completely gone.

They searched nearby and saw that it was getting dark. Looking at a lone lamp in the distance in the darkness, Ye Jin's eyes lit up.

"There are lights there, so there must be people living there!"

Ye Jin ran forward quickly, and Gu Yan followed closely behind. Soon they were running parallel to her, holding her hand tightly.

Ye Jin sprained her ankle because she ran too fast and stepped on a stone.

Ye Jin leaned forward, and Gu Yan tightened his grip, immediately pulling him into his arms and holding him firmly.

"Are you okay?"

Ye Jin shook her head quickly, her face slightly red, but her eyes were firm. She endured the pain in her feet and walked towards the light.

Seeing that she was walking with difficulty, Gu Yan took the initiative to squat in front of her.

"Don't be so stubborn. If your feet hurt, come on my back."

"It hurts a little, but not too much. It's okay. It will be over soon."

Ye Jin continued to walk forward. Gu Yan stood up and held her hand, this time holding it tighter.

Ye Jin looked up in surprise. Gu Yan stared straight ahead into the distance, but still explained awkwardly, "Hold on tighter, so you won't fall easily."

Ye Jin was silent again, but in the darkness the tips of her ears had turned red.

The two of them came to the small house. Ye Jin raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when the lights in the house suddenly went out.

The cold wind blew over, and the surroundings were pitch black. Even the small house lost its warmth because there was no light.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

Ye Jin paused and knocked on the door again. She raised her voice and shouted into the room.

Even if such behavior would be disliked by others, she would do it in order to find her sister.
