The man and the mouse shuttled through the mountains and forests. Half an hour later, under the leadership of Xiaohuo, Ye Jin finally arrived at the pine forest.
The pine forest is not big, and the crooked trees in it are particularly conspicuous.
She ran over and quickly found the tree hole. She pulled away the outer cover and took out a note from inside with trembling hands.
The note was large, and the words on it were powerful and vigorous. These six simple words guaranteed that the task would be completed! This made Ye Jin feel particularly at peace.
The time of day was also recorded in the lower right corner of the note: February 10, 1985.
She clutched the note against her chest. She came here just to see if Gu Yan had received the message, but she didn't expect that he had left the day before yesterday.
So it's just a matter of seconds. It is said that Wangjia Village is quite far away. If you walk there, it will take about a day.
Judging from the time, Gu Yanming might be back the day after tomorrow.
Ye Jin was very excited, not knowing what news he would bring back.
She was still immersed in her own joy when Xiaohuo, who was walking around on the ground, found half a piece of paper in the corner and came to her like offering a treasure.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Xiaohuo kept rubbing against her legs, and his big tail was twitching on her legs.
"Let me see what good stuff our little fire has found!"
Xiaohuo stretched out his front legs, stood on tiptoe, and handed the note over.
Ye Jin bent down to take it, opened the note and looked at it carefully, and saw the same powerful handwriting, but with completely different content.
Because it is only half a sheet of paper, the content is not fully displayed, but you can still see the care and caution between the lines.
Compared to the simplicity and directness of ensuring the completion of the task, this note has a different flavor.
"There should be other notes. Please help me find them."
Ye Jin felt strange emotions in his heart, and his interest was also piqued.
Xiaohuo lowered his head and crawled into the grass to conduct a carpet search.
Ye Jin was not idle either, bending down and searching on the ground.
After a while, Xiaohuo found another note and ran over to report the good news.
"You're awesome, you're so capable! I have to praise you!"
Ye Jin was generous with his praise. Xiaohuo was so excited after receiving the praise that he turned around and continued looking in the bushes.
Ye Jin also found one and pieced the three slips together to form one.
She took it and looked at it. It said: "Leave it to me with confidence. Take care of yourself and wait for my good news."
"This person looks cold, but he actually has a warm personality."
Ye Jin curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile on his face.
After Xiaohuo's carpet search, the last note was also found.
Ye Jin couldn't wait to open it and put the last two notes together.
"Got it. Wangjia Village is a long way away. You have to take good care of yourself while I'm away. Don't get into any conflicts with your stepmother. Wait for me to come back!"
She could imagine Gu Yan writing these tender words with a stern face, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
Then, she suppressed all her emotions.
The hurt she suffered from Han Wenqing in her previous life has made her indifferent to men.
"Men, none of them are good!"
Ye Jin put the note into the space, she bent down, picked up Xiaohuo, and walked down the mountain along the familiar road.
Ye Jin gained a lot from this trip to the mountains.
As soon as Ye Jin reached the foot of the mountain, many neighbors greeted her, and some of them couldn't help but scold her.
"Girls, don't go to the mountains all day long. There are many wild animals in the mountains. It's very dangerous!"
"You don't know, as soon as you went up the mountain, your mother seemed to have lost her soul. She kept sitting in the yard, craning her neck to look around."
"Your mother is sometimes a little strict with you, but she really loves you!"
Everyone thought that what they said was good for Ye Jin and she should listen. However, Ye Jin, who had already died once, had a sneer on her face.
"Don't advise others to be kind unless you've experienced their suffering. You don't understand my family's situation, nor do you know how my mother treats me behind closed doors. Saying these things is a bit of a no-brainer!"
Ye Jin raised her head and looked at everyone with a smile. Her face was firm and had a hint of unquestionableness.
She was about to scold her aunt just now, but under such a gaze, she knew she was in the wrong and shut her mouth consciously.
Some hot-tempered and self-righteous people naturally couldn't swallow this insult and retorted bluntly.
"The person above said it all. The public has sharp eyes. Everyone saw how your mother treated you. You can't cover it up with just a few words."
"That's right. Every day I see your mother buying meat at the market. Whenever I ask her, she always buys it for you. She also says that you're not working in the fields or doing chores, and you must be upset. She wants us to talk to you properly. Your mother cares about you so much, but what about you? How do you treat her?"
Everyone pointed at her nose and cursed her, as if she had really done something against the law.
Ye Jin's smiling eyes swept over Aunt Wang who was watching the fun in the crowd.
Aunt Wang also saw her, and their eyes met. Aunt Wang was so scared that she took a step back, and Ye Jin pointed at her from a distance.
"You can ask Aunt Wang about how my mother treated me. She will definitely tell you everything she knows!"
Everyone followed Ye Jin's finger and turned back in unison.
Aunt Wang, who was about to escape, was exposed to everyone's sight with a pale face.
She stared at Ye Jin fiercely. Wasn't this forcing her to take sides?
If what she said today did not suit Ye Jin's taste, would she expose her scandal in public?
But if she followed Ye Jin's words, she would definitely offend her cousin Wang Fengqin.
It was a death sentence anyway, so she didn't want to stand up and say anything.
But everyone was looking at her, especially Ye Jin, who had a playful smile on her face and a hint of threat in her deep eyes.
She did something shameful, and now Ye Jin has the evidence in his hands, so she has no choice but to give in!
"Wang Yan, come on, talk! Aren't you usually quite eloquent?"
"Need I say that? Wang Fengqin is Wang Yan's cousin, so she'll definitely be on her cousin's side!"
Everyone had a look of understanding on their faces. Some people didn't even understand Ye Jin's intention, and some even thought she was a fool.
Why choose Wang Yan to speak the truth when it’s so hard to find anyone else to speak the truth? Isn’t that a fool?
"Everyone, please be patient. I believe Aunt Wang will give me justice!"
Ye Jin said confidently in front of everyone that Aunt Wang was being roasted over the fire, her lips moved again and again, and finally she couldn't hold it back anymore.
"My cousin, cousin Wang Fengqin, really feels sorry for this child."
Aunt Wang felt as if she had collapsed as soon as she said these simple words, as if all her strength had been drained away.
Everyone was in an uproar, the gossip fire in everyone's heart was burning fiercely, and someone immediately asked.
"What's going on? Explain clearly!"
"Don't be ambiguous, we just want to hear the truth!"
