Yi Jie suggested to Hu Zheng that the appearance of the ghost hand cannon shell should be made more concealed so that it would be easier to carry. Finally, it was decided to be made into a bracelet style. Yi Jie left the laboratory with peace of mind.

There is still one important thing left to do when arriving at the base. Yi Jie finds Jiang Ting and asks him to help investigate the whereabouts of Teacher Xun’s ex-wife and daughter.

This happened 20 years ago, when the collection of personal information was far less complete than it is now. Jiang Ting tapped the keyboard with both hands and retrieved the relevant information about Teacher Xun's ex-wife Gong Xue and daughter Xun Youyou. As Teacher Xun said, there was no trace of the two people left, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Teacher Xun had reported the case to the police station, and the police had investigated but had not obtained any useful information. In the 1990s, retrieving someone from a vast sea of ​​people was like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that Gong Xue was most likely deliberately living incognito. As long as no body was found, the only conclusion would be that she was missing.

The matter was left on hold for so long that Teacher Xun came to believe that they really didn't want to see their irresponsible husband and father again, and didn't want to think of the worst.

"Captain, why do I feel that they are in great danger? Look at today's society, as long as they are still making a living, who will leave without any trace, unless they run away to live in the deep mountains and forests, isolated from the outside world." Jiang Ting slid the mouse to check the information and expressed his opinion at the same time.

"Maybe, the living people just don't want to believe in bad results and would rather be avoided." Yi Jie's words left Jiang Ting completely confused.

"Jiang Ting, see if you can find out where they were last seen." Yi Jie put her hands on Jiang Ting's shoulders.

"Okay." Jiang Ting's hands moved quickly, retrieving file after file.

"Found it, here."

Yi Jie took a closer look and saw that it was a written record. The last place Gong Xue and Xun Youyou were seen was Shancheng Railway Station, and there was a record of their ticket purchase.

Mountain town? There are many hidden villages in this place. The most ideal situation is that Gong Xue and Xun Youyou settle down in one of them. But Yi Jie would never believe it. As an educated woman, Gong Xue would never let her daughter's future be affected by emotional entanglements. She would not let her live in a remote place for a lifetime and not even get an education.

"The police have checked there and found no clues. Anyway, the connection is broken right here." Jiang Ting quickly scanned all the information.

"Okay, I understand. Please spend some time to help me keep an eye on it and see if there are any new developments." Yi Jie instructed.

After leaving the Flying Eagle base, Yi Jie and Pei Yanan both felt depressed.

"To be honest, I think there's a high probability that Teacher Xun's wife and daughter have met with an accident." Pei Yanan's face was solemn.

"Teacher Xun is so smart, he must have expected it, but he just doesn't want to believe it. But as the old saying goes, if he's alive, you have to see the person, if he's dead, you have to see the body. Before it comes to that, it's better to let the hope in his heart exist a little longer, otherwise I'm worried that Teacher Xun's health will collapse." Yi Jie also knew that it was very likely that Gong Xue and Xun Youyou would not be found. Too much time had passed, and many things could not even be investigated further.

"Okay, okay, don't think too much about it. Maybe it's not that bad. Don't go home with sad faces, or your godmother will worry again." He Cheng'an comforted the two when he saw their depressed state.

Yi Jie and the other person finally adjusted their state of mind. They just hoped that Jiang Ting could find useful information later.

Returning to Changping Village again, it was no longer the bustling scene it once was. Except for innocent families and a few coerced residents who had not been sentenced and were still able to live here, the rest had all gone to atone for their sins.

During the day in the village, every household kept their doors and windows closed. Ever since the events in the village spread, those who stayed behind felt ashamed to face people. They either fled to other places to make a living or hid at home. Unless it was necessary to work in the countryside, they were unwilling to go out and see people.

Yi Jie took Pei Yanan and Wei Xun to the witch's burned house.

"I was the one who burned down this house. One reason was to divert attention and make it easier to escape, and the other was to vent my anger. Now I feel really regretful. Although this witch was not a good person, the medicinal herbs she collected might be really high-quality. It's such a pity." Yi Jie said to the two in annoyance.

"There are reasons for this, it's understandable. Of course, saving your life is the most important thing." Pei Yanan patted Yi Jie's arm.

Yi Jie found the witch's pharmacy according to her memory, and the three of them searched the abandoned house.

"No, no, it's almost burned. Even if there are some medicinal herbs left, they have lost their activity after being exposed to wind and sun for so many days. Let's go to the mountain to have a look." Wei Xun waved away the dust in the air with his hand.

Yi Jie had no choice but to take the two of them up the mountain. She didn't know what to say, but as they walked up the mountain, her mood was completely different this time. While climbing the mountain, Yi Jie told them about her experience of fleeing in the mountains.

"Vines? Are they strong? What do they look like?" Wei Xun's eyes lit up when he heard Yi Jie talking about using vines to make ropes for climbing trees.

"They are quite strong. I discovered those vines by accident. They seem to be dark green in color and have no thorns. They look soft, but they are hard to tear apart. We pulled them up by the roots."

"Quick, Captain Yi, do you remember where it is? Take me there." Wei Xun became excited.

Yi Jie was stunned for a moment. No way? Don't tell her that it was Ivy. They were just too lucky.

Recalling the route, Yi Jie found the location of the vines.

Wei Xun hurriedly put on gloves and took tools to check. After a few minutes, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"That's right, it's tough and indestructible, with a well-developed root system, willow-like leaves, and milky white juice that smells like milk. This is the Ivy. I didn't expect that there would be extinct plants growing on the back mountain. We have to report it and protect it quickly." Wei Xun couldn't wait to tell Yi Jie.

"Oh my God, it's really the Green Ivy. Okay, I'll contact my superiors later. By the way, isn't this Green Ivy poisonous? We were fine at that time." Yi Jie clearly remembered that several of them had been in close contact with the Green Ivy for quite a while.

"Let me say that you and your friends are lucky, Captain Yi. The skin of this ivy is thick and not easy to break. Its outer skin does not contain any toxins, but its juice is poisonous. If you had chosen to cut it off instead of pulling it up by the roots, you would have been in big trouble." Wei Xun also sighed at Yi Jie's good luck.

Yi Jie patted her chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, it was a good thing, otherwise she would have really hurt her classmates.

"Then let's continue looking for Job's tears?" After Yi Jie reported the news about Bichunteng to the head of the Forestry Bureau, she looked at Wei Xun.

He smiled and shook his head. "No need. Job's tears are the companion plant of the ivy. When spring comes, where there is ivy, there will be Job's tears growing."

There is such a good thing, Yi Jie smiled, not bad, we discovered two kinds of extinct plants in the mountain, it can be regarded as that the witch and her gang of scum indirectly played a role for the country to atone for their sins.

The people from the Forestry Bureau came to take over quickly, and after the handover, the three of them went down the mountain excitedly. Finally, they no longer had to worry about replenishing the ammunition for the Ghost Hand Cannon.

After finishing these things, the countdown to the New Year of 2014 began. Grandpa and grandma came to Wen County and lived in He Chengan's home, which was only a few steps away from Yi Jie's home. Since they became godparents, He Chengan was like the grandson of the two old people, and they were very close.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, my aunt's family also came over to help prepare food for the New Year. We agreed that we would all gather at Yi Jie's house to celebrate the New Year this year, since the two houses could accommodate everyone.

"Minzi will not come back this year. She said she is going to America to be with Yaoyao and Lili. Her two daughters are studying abroad, and it is not convenient for them to come back for the New Year. They are worried." Grandma said to the family while dripping with egg dumpling skin.

"It doesn't matter if you don't come back. It doesn't matter if you don't come back." Grandpa took a sip of wine and sighed.

No one continued the topic and started talking about happy things instead.

Yi Jie was a little confused. Chen Ruoyao and Chen Lili went abroad to study? Second Aunt really loved Chen Ruoyao. She paid for her two daughters to study in the United States at her own expense. The cost was not small. I hope they can avoid trouble in the future and live a good life.

Chen Ruoyao and Chen Lili did not have an easy time abroad. Most of the money from selling the house was spent on getting them into a good school. The remaining money was not enough for them to graduate from college, so they could only choose to study in a mediocre family, where they did not eat or sleep well.

Chen Lili even had to do odd jobs after school to supplement the family income so that Chen Ruoyao could study with peace of mind. This was an arrangement made by Zhang Huimin. She did not dare to resist and could only do it obediently. During the time she was abroad, she was no longer in the state of being unable to carry things or lift things in China, and her temper was also restrained a lot.

On the contrary, Chen Ruoyao's temper has become even worse in private. Although she appears to be as quiet and ladylike as ever, she would take her anger out on Chen Lili whenever she gets home and feels unhappy.

"What kind of dinner did you buy? It's not for human consumption at all." Chen Ruoyao threw the dinner that Chen Lili brought back into the trash can without even tasting it.

"Yaoyao, our living expenses have already exceeded this month, we need to save money. This food really doesn't taste that bad, you're wasting it." Chen Lili defended herself aggrievedly. She had worked hard to do odd jobs to earn some money to have this meal, otherwise it would have been even worse.

"You're right. When my parents come here in a few days, I'll let them know how you take care of me! I've lost a lot of weight and can't concentrate on my studies."

Chen Lili gritted her teeth and used her parents as a raft again. She stood up silently and left a message before leaving, "I'll buy you a good one."

Chen Ruoyao looked at Chen Lili's departing figure with pride. She still needed to practice more to know how powerful she was.
