After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

After hearing Jiang Baige's suggestion, Zhou Ling was a little surprised, and his face was full of "You are so brave".

"You don't even know Xiaoyu, how are you going to find her?"

Jiang Baige smiled and took a sip of coffee - the second cup of the day. She was very excited and said leisurely: "You can tell me."

"Then aren't you afraid of Wang Liang?"

Jiang Baige raised her eyelids and glanced at Zhou Ling: "I have even been caught by the human traffickers..."

The implication is, could Wang Liang be more brutal than those people?

People who only dare to act bully in their own home are mostly cowards.

Zhou Ling stopped talking and turned to look at Qu Lu. Only then did he realize that Qu Lu had opened his notebook and was checking his schedule.

"I have to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow, so the earliest I can go is two weeks later... But I have also arranged several lectures and charity events, so I can't stay too long, but I can still squeeze it in for one or two days..."

As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and prepared to look at the flights from Anjing to Mangxian.

However, Mangxian is a county town after all, and there is definitely no flight access to it.

Jiang Baige just checked and found out that the plane only goes to the provincial capital.

After getting off the plane, you have to take a train to the city where Mang County is located. The fastest time is five hours, and you have to calculate the time well, otherwise you can only take a slow train. After getting off the train, you have to take a bus for a day and a night to reach the county seat.

This was still relatively fast—if they could encounter a little rain in the county town. If not, they would have to take another bus to the village.

Zhou Ling was concerned about something else: "Qu Lu, do you also think we should go look for Xiao Yu?"

Qu Lu nodded: "Bai Ge is right. If we are going to do it, we have to do it as thoroughly as possible. It is obviously impossible to let Yanling go back, so we have to go."

"In that case..." Zhou Ling glanced at Jiang Baige, "How about I go over there?"

"Are you too busy to come over?"

Zhou Ling nodded: "It's not a big problem. This is my case."

Seeing that the two of them had discussed it, Jiang Baige said, "It might not be a good idea for Lingling to go alone. If something happens, there will be no one to discuss it with. What do you think...if it's not convenient, I can go with her?"

"We don't have any inconvenience, but you... don't have to go to work?"

Jiang Baige waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Tell the boss that I'm going to collect folk songs... Including the weekend, I won't need to take a few days off. It should be approved."

Qu Lu didn't ask any more questions: "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he turned to look at Zhou Ling: "I will communicate with Yanling in advance and give you Xiaoyu's situation, including the contact information of the school and teachers. You can communicate in advance then... You are good at these, so I won't say more."

After giving the instructions, Qu Lu looked at the time and stood up.

Zhou Ling also got up, but Lawyer Qu said that she could go by herself because she had to go review the case files with another lawyer later, and the other party would drive over to pick her up.

"Then I'll go back to the office too...it's work time after all."

Lawyer Qu patted Zhou Ling on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back to the law firm now. It will be almost time to get off work when we get there... You can confirm with Bai Ge about going to find Xiao Yu next."

At this point, she remembered something: "By the way, Bai Ge, keep all the invoices for the trip, and I will pay you when the time comes. You are here to help, there is no reason for you to pay."

Jiang Baige smiled and said thank you, but she didn't take it to heart because she had originally planned to go at her own expense.

***

When she returned that day, Jiang Baige reported the matter to Tong Lin.

She estimated that she would need to take two to three days off, plus the weekend, which would be almost a week, which should be enough.

The reason is simple: "collecting folk songs".

Tong Lin didn't say anything and asked her to communicate with the project leader.

Kou Yun was also in that project, so Jiang Baige found her alone and told her about this matter. She was mainly worried about the county and village staff, who might not be able to use computers at times, so she needed to trouble her.

Jiang Baige also asked Kou Yun to write down all the work she did for her so that she could contact her anytime in the future when she needed anything.

Kou Yun readily agreed and told her to go on her field research with peace of mind, and he looked forward to her new work.

After Jiang Baige hung up the phone, she couldn't help but sigh: I really found a good job!

By the time we had finished dealing with this matter, Zhou Ling had also been contacted there, and their plane and train tickets had been bought as well.

"It has been confirmed that Wang Yu is still in school. When we arrive, we can contact her class teacher directly."

"You didn't tell her dad?"

"Don't mention it." Zhou Ling waved her hand. "Usually, the teacher couldn't find anyone to talk to him about Xiaoyu's situation. How could she tell him about this..."

Besides, the importance attached to education in county towns is not as great as that in cities.

The two sighed and decided not to think about the things they couldn't control or change.

"Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

In order to catch the fastest train, they had to take the earliest flight, so they got up before five in the morning.

The two of them stared with their eyes dazed, packed up simply, got on the taxi they had arranged in advance, and rushed to the airport.

On the way, the two tried hard to talk about random things to keep themselves from falling asleep.

However, after getting on the plane, I couldn't hold myself back and fell into a deep sleep.

When the flight attendant came to serve breakfast, Zhou Ling woke up Jiang Baige who was sitting on the inside and said with a smile: "You were snoring just now."

Jiang Baige was still not fully awake, and pouted: "I become like this when I'm too tired."

After breakfast, Jiang Baige opened the sunshade again.

The clouds were thin, and looking out through the plane window, one could see countless magnificent undulating mountains, with the tops of the mountains covered with snow and the ridgelines stretching endlessly into the distance.

Jiang Baige leaned her head against the glass and stared at it for a long time before she said, "This is so beautiful."

Zhou Ling, who was standing by, took a look and said, "How many people have been trapped in this mountain their entire lives, unable to escape..."

After Zhou Ling finished speaking, Jiang Baige also fell silent.

She didn't feel guilty about her praise - nature is beautiful, but Zhou Ling was also right. In their eyes, the beautiful scenery worth visiting may be a nightmare that people who grew up in it want to escape from all their lives.

It's not just Dai Yanling and her daughter, but also the women who were sold to Wangnan Village... These tragic stories are happening in different places all the time.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhou Ling thought that he had ruined her fun and whispered an apology.

"You didn't do anything wrong." Jiang Baige pulled down the sunshade and said, "I'll sleep a little longer."

In fact, they had no idea what they would encounter on this trip.

Jiang Baige recorded her most subtle feelings in a notebook to ease her inner anxiety.

Zhou Ling kept flipping through the files, hoping to be able to convince Xiaoyu to the greatest extent possible.

They tried hard to suppress their inner anxiety and uneasiness until they met Wang Yu outside the county middle school one day later.

She seemed to have known why they came. When she saw them, she said excitedly: "I support my mother's divorce! Please save her! I beg you!"
