After rebirth, the little junior sister’s salty life

As soon as Ouyang Jingjing entered the city, she went to the store non-stop to buy a large amount of food and some daily necessities.

"Girl, this is what you want, please take it." The store owner smiled and carefully wrapped what she bought and handed it to her hand.

"Okay, thank you!" Ouyang Jingjing politely thanked her, took the package and prepared to turn around and leave.

However, just as she stepped out of the store, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of strange people walking into the store. In an instant, a premonition came to my mind. These people should be the ones conducting the search, and they might be able to hear some news.

Ouyang Jingjing made a quick decision and decided to hide aside for the time being and secretly observe what these people wanted.

I saw the leader of the team with a sinister face and a fierce look on his face. He stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Hey, boss! Has any weird person come here today?"

Faced with this sudden question, the boss was obviously confused, but seeing the fierce look of the person coming, he could only answer tremblingly: "No...no, I didn't see anyone strange."

The person taking the lead didn't seem satisfied with the answer. A pair of sharp eyes glanced around the store, as if they wanted to penetrate every corner. Ouyang Jingjing quietly hid aside so that she could not be discovered by the other party.

I carefully observed the surrounding environment in the store, not missing any detail, but found nothing unusual. In order to complete the task ordered by the city lord as soon as possible, he did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly set off to the next destination to continue exploring.

It wasn't until she saw those people drifting away and disappearing from sight that Jingjing cautiously emerged from the hiding place. She stared at the retreating figures of those people, thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, she turned around and left resolutely. Because she knew that she was responsible for more important and urgent matters, and she must not waste time here.

Before leaving, in this hidden corner, she put all the things she bought into the space bag, and then strolled leisurely through the streets.

Last night's incident caused an uproar and people are talking about it. The center of the topic was the tragic annihilation of the Zhuo family, and various speculations and rumors were rampant.

"You don't know, the Zhuo family suffered a big disaster last night! In one night, not a single one of them was left alive! Tsk, tsk, tsk... I don't know who they provoked, and they actually ended up with each other. Such deep hatred!" A middle-aged man shook his head and sighed.

"I've heard some rumors. It seems that the Zhuo family somehow offended some powerful person or force, so they were silenced in the middle of the night." Another person interjected.

"You are all wrong! I heard from my fourth uncle that the Zhuo family has some rare treasures hidden in the house! Those robbers came just for the treasures. Otherwise, how could they be so ruthless and kill the entire family? Are they all killed?" Someone else mysteriously broke the news.

……

Ouyang Jingjing strolled on the bustling streets, and various comments kept coming to her ears. However, these remarks are just baseless speculations and are not supported by substantial evidence. She couldn't help but sigh: things in the world are complicated, and the truth is often hidden in the fog, making it difficult to grasp.

Thinking of what Zhuo Yi had asked her to do, she couldn't help but frown and secretly thought about how to proceed. So, she decided to start with some people or things related to the eldest lady of the Zhuo family, trying to get some clues from them.

After some clever arrangements, she finally found an opportunity to sneak into Zhuo's house to see if there were any clues.

At this moment, in a small secret room in the city lord's palace, Ming Haijun was staring indifferently at the woman sitting against the wall, looking very embarrassed. There was no patience on his face, and he asked in a stern tone: "Speak quickly! Where is the treasure map hidden?"

The woman looked at the man in front of her with a sad face that she once loved deeply, but now she only saw the ruthlessness and sarcasm in his eyes. At this point, she finally woke up and realized that she had been kept in the dark all these years - it turned out that the reason why Ming Haijun was so eager to marry her into the house was because of his ulterior motives!

Facing Ming Haijun's question, the woman burst into tears and replied with a trembling voice: "I really don't know what the treasure map is, let alone its whereabouts..."

However, Ming Haijun obviously didn't believe her words and continued to press: "Stop pretending to be stupid with me! If it wasn't to get that treasure map, why would I go through so much trouble to marry you? Hand it over now." Treasure map, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

After saying that, he glared at the woman fiercely, as if he would take action at any time.

The woman's eyes were flooded with endless sadness and despair, and tears welled up in her eyes like dams. At this moment, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her was so cold and heartless! All he pursues is the legendary treasure map, and he doesn't care about himself.

However, poor she knows nothing about it! How could she possibly know the location of the so-called treasure map? Facing the man's aggressive questioning and threats, she felt extremely aggrieved and helpless.

Seeing that the woman remained silent and didn't seem to reveal any clues about the treasure map, the man's eyes became more fierce, revealing the slightest hint of threat: "If you don't hand over the treasure map, I'm afraid we won't be able to Instead of making some difficult choices...perhaps only by dedicating Rou'er to that powerful person can we get a more generous reward."

After saying these words, the man stared at the woman closely, as if he wanted to see through her eyes the secret deep in her heart. The woman was trembling all over, her face was as pale as paper, and her heart was full of pain and struggle. On one side is his beloved daughter Rou'er, and on the other side is the mystery of the treasure map that he has no clue about and doesn't know where to start.

That was an old man who was over fifty years old. No one could tell the power behind him. As long as someone was willing to give him a beautiful girl, he would satisfy that person's request.

"Are you crazy? That's your daughter too."

But the man waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Who knows if she is my daughter? If she hadn't been useful, I wouldn't have let her live when she was born."
