"What jade pendant?"
Ruan Xiaohui was worried. "Brother Hechuan, you know, my mother died a long time ago. The jade pendant is the only thing she left for me! I kept it in my pocket, how come it's gone now? Did I fall down and drop it on the ground?"
Bai Yan didn't care about Ruan Xiaohui at all on weekdays, and didn't know whether she had the jade pendant or not.
But seeing that she seemed really anxious, he said, "Then let's go back and look for it."
"But my feet hurt so much, Brother Hechuan, I can't bear the pain anymore..."
Bai Yan had seen Ruan Xiaohui's ability to cry at the drop of a hat in Yanzhou. At this moment, her face wrinkled and tears immediately fell: "Sister Bai Yan, could you please help me find the jade pendant?"
Just as Bai Yan was about to say no, Meng Hechuan's voice popped up: "I'll go find it for you, Bai Yan. Go straight ahead and you'll see the playground. Help Xiao Ruan find a doctor first."
"Brother Hechuan!" Ruan Xiaohui grabbed Meng Hechuan with a strange expression, hesitating and not letting him go.
Bai Yan understood now that Ruan Xiaohui might have other intentions.
...
...
She pretended to sprain her injury, but actually she wanted to be alone with her brother Hechuan.
As for the jade pendant that fell from her mouth, it is still uncertain whether it really exists!
But Bai Yan changed her mind and realized that since she didn't want to go with them anyway, she might as well help Ruan Xiaohui go back and look for it.
"Let me go. Only Chief Engineer Meng has the strength to support Comrade Xiao Ruan. I can't do that." She gathered her long hair again and tied the ponytail higher, revealing her entire forehead.
"But let me make it clear in advance. I have never seen your jade pendant, and we don't know if the jade pendant you mentioned really fell in the place just now. If I don't find it, you can't blame me for this."
Ruan Xiaohui responded vaguely.
Meng Hechuan frowned and looked back. The woods on the west side were more remote than other places in the brigade.
The last time I found her at the shooting range, Bai Yan seemed to have said that she was afraid of dark places...
"This place is quite remote, and it's not good for you to go back alone. So, you and I will take Comrade Xiao Ruan to see a doctor first. As for the jade pendant, I will come back and find it for her later."
Ruan Xiaohui didn't expect Meng Hechuan to be so persistent. A hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and cried, "Brother Hechuan, I'll be scared without you by my side!"
Bai Yan got goose bumps all over her body because of her howl.
She didn't want to watch Ruan Xiaohui continue to act, so she turned around and said, "Chief Engineer Meng, you should keep your mind on taking care of Comrade Xiao Ruan. It's not a big deal to find something."
"Bai Yan!" Meng Hechuan called her worriedly.
She waved to them with her back turned, walked quickly, and disappeared around the corner in a moment.
Meng Hechuan looked in the direction she left, and for some reason he always felt uneasy.
"Brother Hechuan?" Ruan Xiaohui leaned towards him again.
Meng Hechuan wrinkled his nose and felt that the fragrance on her body was a bit pungent.
It was not as refreshing as Bai Yan's scent, but rather thick and greasy.
He withdrew his gaze, and although he was still holding Ruan Xiaohui, his body had slightly distanced itself from her.
"Can you walk faster?" Meng Hechuan unconsciously quickened his pace, but Ruan Xiaohui couldn't take a step for some reason.
It took nearly half an hour to walk a distance of ten minutes.
At this moment, Bai Yan also circled around the place where Ruan Xiaohui had just fallen.
The sand was bare and there was nothing on it.
Bai Yan was holding the thermos bucket, thinking strangely, "Could it be that Ruan Xiaohui wants to take this opportunity to frame me and trick me into giving her a jade pendant as compensation?"
Forget it. Meng Hechuan is also here. If Ruan Xiaohui dares to turn the tables, she can only drag Meng Hechuan down with her.
Bai Yan propped herself up on her knees and just stood up. Before she turned around, she suddenly heard the faint sound of shoes rubbing against gravel.
It's not strange to hear footsteps here, but what's strange is why the sound is so small?
It was as if he was trying to hide it from her.
Bai Yan's heart suddenly shrank, and her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the ground -
Not far from her shadow, two dark shadows suddenly appeared.
Bai Yan’s first reaction was, great, there is a shadow, not a ghost!
But this joyful thought only lasted for a second. The next moment, her pupils dilated unconsciously, and her hands and feet became cold in an instant.
Before the man could turn around and shout, the two shadows behind him pounced on him.
A piece of rag was stuffed in Bai Yan's mouth, and her vision went dark. She was actually put into a fertilizer bag.
She struggled in vain, but the two black shadows seemed to have rehearsed it long ago. One carried Bai Yan's head and the other carried her feet. They quickly lifted her up and ran away.
"Let's go, let's go—"
Bai Yan was in the sack, feeling dizzy from being shaken around, and could only barely hear two or three words with an accent.
But she still had some sense. Although she didn't know who was so bold as to sneak into the military area and kidnap people, she remembered that there was a wall next to the grove.
As long as I am not taken out, there is still hope.
But soon, her little hope was extinguished.
"Just throw her over the wall. Once you take her out, it will be hard to get her back!"
Bai Yan was completely panicked now!
In the 1980s, human traffickers were rampant, and it was basically difficult to find women and children who were abducted or sold.
But she was stuffed into a fertilizer bag and had no way to escape.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!” The traffickers outside were also anxious. “Hurry up, don’t make too much noise, the crowd will disperse soon!”
As they got closer, Bai Yan felt that the voice that had just spoken seemed familiar.
But before she could think about it, Bai Yan suddenly felt that she was getting farther and farther away from the ground. It was the two people who were carrying her up the ladder, one in front and one behind.
There is even a ladder to climb over the wall. Was this a premeditated crime?
But why was she arrested?
Is someone trying to harm her on purpose, or is she just unlucky enough to go to jail again and be kidnapped by human traffickers once again?
The instinct for survival made Bai Yan burst out with great strength. In addition, the two men carrying her up the ladder were not very agile, so Bai Yan kicked her feet randomly, and the man behind her fell down with her.
The flesh hit the ground with a dull thud, but Bai Yan ignored the pain and used her hands and feet to try to get out of the fertilizer bag.
But just as she exposed her hands, feet and half of her shoulders, she was grabbed again. A pair of pitch-black hands covered her mouth and forced her back into the fertilizer bag.
"Damn it, this woman is so troublesome, she even bit me!" The man who had just caught Bai Yan spat.
"Stop talking nonsense and leave now!"
Bai Yan was carried up again. This time, the human traffickers who kidnapped her were much more cautious and simply tied up the opening of the fertilizer bag.
They quickly climbed up the ladder, jumped down the wall with Bai Yan, and stuffed Bai Yan directly into a van waiting outside. They stepped on the accelerator and disappeared into the darkness.
