Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Yuan Lai ran all the way, closely following the person in front of her, and came to the village downstream. Just when she thought she was about to catch up, she lost her way at a fork in the road.

Although she accidentally fell several times along the way, she did not slow down. She had only one thought in her mind, which was not to let that person escape.

However, she didn't even see the other person's shadow. What's the difference between this and chasing the Speedy Man who travels 800 miles a day?

Or maybe the other party is like Sun Wukong, riding on the somersault cloud, and can travel ten thousand miles with one somersault.

Yuan Lai observed every road, hoping to find some clues. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the purple jade bracelet on her wrist.

In a cave abroad, the jade bracelet Qi Rong gave her accidentally broke. She had originally planned to bury it where it was and repair it upon her return, but when she went to look for it, it had vanished.

Yuan Lai began to suspect that Qi Rong was lying to her again and that the bracelet was not bought at all.

The purple jade bracelet she was wearing was one she had bought herself. It wasn't as precious as the one Qi Rong had given her, but wearing it in its original place at least gave her something to think about.

Unfortunately, because she had fallen many times just now, the purple jade bracelet was already covered with cracks. When she exerted force, there was a "crackling" sound, and the jade bracelet finally couldn't bear the weight and met the same fate as the previous bracelets, breaking into pieces.

"It's broken again." Yuan Lai felt a little sorry for his money.

How many times? If not ten times, at least three times. This jade bracelet on her wrist was like a curse, and it had to be shattered to pieces.

She squatted down and collected the broken bracelets. "Fortunately, this time I can send it to Mr. Yu's son's shop for repair."

I put the broken bracelet into my bag and was about to stand up when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a glowing candy wrapper on a small path not far away.

"A blessing in disguise..."

She walked closer and picked up the candy wrapper, which was exactly the same as the one she picked up next to the big rock. So Yuan Lai followed the path towards the village.

This is also a mountain village, but it is obviously much larger than Xintang Village. The roads crisscross and crisscross, making people dizzy.

As she was strolling along the village road, Hong Bao arrived behind her about half an hour later. Seeing the broken pieces on the ground, he excitedly shouted, "This is Yuan Lai's bracelet! She's in the village ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shaoxi asked curiously, "How do you know this is Yuan Lai's bracelet? Is she wearing it?"

Zhuo Yuan was also very surprised. He scratched his head and said, "I usually don't pay attention to it."

"This bracelet has always been worn on Yuan Lai's left wrist. Maybe you're so used to it that you've automatically ignored it."

After hearing Hong Bao's words, Li Hao let go of his hand, walked to the front, picked up the jade residue on the ground, and exclaimed: "This bracelet is not cheap!"

He put the residue into He Haonan's palm, "It's more in line with He Haonan's style."

He Haonan nodded in agreement, "It's indeed not cheap."

Zhao Yibo opened his mouth wide, "It would be a shame if it broke."

Hongbao led five people into the village, hoping to find Yuan Lai and the child before the sun rose overhead.

Lin Tingting and Jiang Zhou and his wife met smoothly at the agreed location.

After meeting, Lin Tingting asked, "Have you seen the message in the group?"

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "I see."

Lin Tingting continued, "Then let's wait here for them to come."

The three of them walked forward for a distance together and finally stopped by the river, waiting for the arrival of Jiang Dunhao and other brothers.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was time to go to work. The staff had almost worked all night, and many of them had dark circles under their eyes and looked a little tired.

Lin Tingting looked at the staff members with some reluctance in her heart. She said to them, "Now that we have clear information, it's enough for us to find someone. You all should go back and have a good rest."

Lin Tingting was on the production team, so her words carried a lot of weight. Furthermore, the crew had already gone out to search for the missing child, so filming was definitely impossible. Aside from a few people tending to the flowers, everyone else could go back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep.

At this time, Jiang Dunhao, Lu Zhuo, Li Gengyun, Zhao Xiaotong and Wang Yiheng hurried over.

As soon as they met, Jiang Dunhao couldn't wait to ask, "Any news about the baby?"

Lin Tingting quickly replied, "Zhuo Yuan said in the group chat that they are in the village downstream and are about to catch up with Yuan Lai. My initial guess is that Yuan Lai and the child should be together."

When these words reached the ears of the five people, their meaning changed.

It coincides with my previous guess.

"Then let's catch up with them."

Yuan Lai had never expected to meet Wu Jiahe here.

According to common sense, Wu Jiahe should be staying at home and accompanying his mother to recuperate.

Wu Jiahe obviously noticed Yuan Lai's presence, and their eyes met. Although they did not directly tear each other apart, they knew each other's affairs very well.

"It's really haunting!" Yuan Lai couldn't help but mutter.

"Mutually." Wu Jiahe responded with a slight smile on his face.

There was no guilt at all about stealing other people's things.

You have to be very thick-skinned, even a hairpin can't penetrate you.

Yuan Lai asked impatiently, "What are you doing here?"

Wu Jiahe's smile didn't fade even after Yuan Lai's questioning. She replied, "This is my hometown! What about you? What brought you here?"

Yuan Lai said bluntly: "Looking for someone."

Hearing this answer, Wu Jiahe felt relieved. She smiled and said, "Thank goodness, thank goodness. I thought you were here to cause trouble for me."

Yuan Lai naturally understood what Wu Jiahe meant, but she was in no mood to chat with him at the moment. "Have you seen Jiang Qingtian? She came out with a stranger."

Wu Jiahe shook his head. "One-year-old children, there are so many of them in this village. If you don't clearly describe the special characteristics of that person, how can I help you find him?"

Yuan Lai had never seen what that person looked like, so naturally he couldn't describe any useful features.

For a moment, the situation was deadlocked again.

After a moment of silence, Wu Jiahe suggested, "How about we go to my house for dinner first?"

Yuan Lai asked in surprise, "Eating now? It's neither morning nor afternoon. What kind of meal is this?"

"Eating at this time is the most comfortable, which means you can sleep until you wake up naturally."

Yuan Lai envied, "It's good not to have to go to work. I can just disappear in the morning, right?"

Wu Jiahe turned around and said to Yuan Lai with a smile, "Yes."

After turning several corners, the two came to a house that looked quite old. The color of the walls was faded and a little mottled.

When they walked into the house, Wu Jiahe's mother was busy in the kitchen, and the food in the pot was steaming happily.

Mother Wu turned around and saw Yuan Lai. A puzzled expression appeared on her face, as if she felt that Yuan Lai looked familiar.

"I think I've seen your friend before." Mother Wu said.

Wu Jiahe smiled and explained, "Probably in the hospital. She visited me once."

Yuan Lai was thinking about Jiang Qingtian's whereabouts and was a little absent-minded. He accidentally tripped over something.

Wu Jiahe reached out and held Yuan Lai firmly.

"Be careful." Wu Jiahe said softly.

"After dinner, I'll go with you to find someone."

Yuan Lai nodded.

When she sat down and started eating, she found that the food cooked by Wu's mother tasted a little strange.

I don’t know if it was because Mother Wu’s taste buds were affected by her illness, or if she mistook sugar for salt, but the dish turned out to be too sweet.

Yuan Lai hesitated for a moment, but still put the food into her mouth. At that moment, she felt like vomiting, but she still forced herself to swallow it.

"Auntie, your cooking skills are really good." Yuan Lai forced a smile and gave feedback politely.

"If it tastes good, eat more."

The classic polite words made Yuan Lai want to die.

Wu Jiahe watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh.

Just say it's okay and don't make trouble for yourself.

Yuan Lai felt regretful, very regretful.

Mother Wu drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and went to sleep in the house, leaving the rest to Yuan Lai and Lin Tingting to finish.

"There's going to be a meteor shower in a couple of days. Mom and I are planning to go watch it."

Go and see it, meteor showers are so rare.

"You and your brothers will go too, right? We can go together then. Wow, watching the meteor shower together, how romantic."

Yuan Lai snorted, "Again, huh? I told you, I have no right to interfere with any of their decisions. If you want to develop a relationship with someone, go by yourself. Don't always drag me along and make me look like a nobody."

Wu Jiahe laughed out loud, "Oh, I can only go with one person, can't I go with ten people?"

Yuan Lai's eyes widened. "Are you not satisfied with just one?"

Wu Jiahe tapped Yuan Lai's head with his chopsticks. "I thought all my love for the ten Qintians was sealed in that fan fiction. But I've discovered that I can't give up caring about them at all. Last time in the mountains, do you know how much I wanted an autographed photo?!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he did, Yuan Lai was filled with nameless anger, causing his mouth to speak faster than his brain, and before he could react, he had already finished speaking. "Oh, you are amazing, you are so good at multitasking. While thinking about all this, you can still remember to control your second brother to insert the knife into An An's body."

After Yuan Lai pointed out the matter, Wu Jiahe did not deny it. "Indeed. I also think I have a strong mental state and I didn't panic at all in that situation."

"How do you control Luzhuo?"

"This is a secret, how can I tell it casually?"

Yuan Lai thought about the relationship between Ren He and Wu Jiahe, and suspected that Ren He must have helped here, otherwise where would Wu Jiahe get these strange abilities.

"Ren He has already told me."

Wu Jiahe's face changed. "You know? Then why did you come home with me? Aren't you afraid that I'll suddenly pull out a knife and kill you?"

"I don't have anything useful to you." Yuan Lai just wanted to trick her, but she didn't expect that the other party wanted to kill her to silence her. Is this allowed in a legal society?

Wu Jiahe whispered, "I want you where you are now."

After saying that, Wu Jiahe stood up and pulled out a shiny fruit knife from somewhere.

Yuan Lai suddenly became alert, pushed the table hard, and ran out of the house without caring whether Wu Jiahe was knocked to the ground.

Wu Jiahe's laughter came from behind.
