Fang Xiaohui’s life value is full.
Fang Xiaohui doesn’t know how she got the bad luck value, she just knows that by selling those jewelry she somehow obtained it.
Looking at herself returning to a youthful and beautiful state once again, Fang Xiaohui finally felt relieved.
She cannot waste her previous efforts; it’s not easy to live again.
But she was also curious about this mechanical voice.
"A new task is issued, the host can obtain others’ bad luck values to exchange for any items she desires, and can maintain life and youth."
After a few hours of research, Fang Xiaohui finally smiled.
The first bad luck value she obtained was naturally from Mrs. Song, a full three thousand bad luck value.
Fang Xiaohui exchanged it for a Love Pill.
Three thousand bad luck value just for this one thing.
Just thinking about it, her heart ached.
Song Mohuan was indifferent to her, but she needed Song Mohuan to obey her, otherwise, she would have a hard time in this family.
Now she needed to stabilize her family position to ensure that she and the child could live well.
Of course, only Song Mohuan could withstand the storm-like wrath of Mrs. Song.
As long as Song Mohuan bore everything for her, Mrs. Song surely couldn’t do anything to her son.
Could she send Song Mohuan to the police station?
But if it were Fang Xiaohui, it would be a different story.
Fang Xiaohui prepared everything; taking advantage of Song Mohuan’s rare return home, she made several dishes, and a bottle of spiked red wine, instantly completing the task.
Song Moting and Fan Jianguo split into several groups with the police comrades, now searching on the mountain.
This mountain is too large.
So far they have only searched one-quarter.
Still near the bottom of the mountain.
Nothing has been found elsewhere at all.
Can’t even walk up, let alone find someone.
Song Moting wiped his sweat.
They’ve been here for a day and a night.
Once again nightfall has descended, signaling more difficulty in the search.
The most important issue is that everyone is now exhausted, depleted physically; humans need rest, they can’t go on without sleep.
A few people gathered around the fire eating, simple steamed buns, pickles, and hot water, already considered good food, considering these are the only things they can carry.
Fan Jianguo and Song Moting ate silently.
The two of them were grouped together, He Aiguo and Old Jiang were in another group, while Fan Xiuying stayed at home.
The situation now makes everyone uneasy. Even if the old folks are still alive, they have been missing for nearly three days.
Without food or water, the elderly may not hold on much longer.
But this place is so large, no matter how much they shout or search, there’s no response at all.
Even the police comrades quietly discussed the possibility that the old folks have met with misfortune; after all, Da Hei is dead now, nobody can explain how Da Hei exactly managed the old folks on the mountain.
The mountain is so big, even those familiar with it are losing confidence.
Fan Jianguo punched a tree fiercely, his hand dripping with blood.
"It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, how could I not have thought of it, parents working hard all their lives, only to encounter such a thing in old age. Isn’t it all because of me."
Song Moting hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle, it’s nobody’s fault, don’t blame yourself. I believe grandma and grandpa are still alive. We still need to keep searching, we can’t lose hope, maybe they’re suffering and waiting for us to rescue them."
The people at the camp said nothing.
Such hope is indeed very slim.
Jiang Xiaoxiao woke up uneasily, blinking, trying to recall her dream.
Then she realized the space beside her was still empty.
Song Moting still hadn’t returned.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sat up alert, something wasn’t right!
Even if Song Moting was drinking with He Aiguo and the others, he would never be gone for a whole day and night.
This has never happened before.
Perhaps it was wrong information from the start.
Song Moting didn’t go drinking; something happened at home.
Jiang Xiaoxiao picked up the phone.
Fan Xiuying heard the phone ring, excitedly grabbing it!
"Have they found my parents? Comrade, have they found my parents? They are still alive, alive, right?"
She didn’t dare to blink, fearing she might miss it.
Countless times she almost snoozed off, each time frightfully waking herself thinking the phone rang.
Now that there really was a call, it must be news.
Fan Xiuying cried nervously.
"Mom, did grandma and grandpa disappear? Where did they disappear?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew something was wrong.
But she never expected it to be this serious.
Her raised voice startled Tang Yuan, who started crying loudly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao held the child while anxiously questioning.
Only then did Fan Xiuying realize it was her daughter; she regretted not recognizing sooner.
Why didn’t she first ask who it was before blurting out?
This had been unanimously agreed upon; to keep it from Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Knowing Jiang Xiaoxiao’s temper, if she got wind of this, she’d definitely rush up the mountain to find her grandparents.
Jiang Xiaoxiao just got discharged, over ten days ago, leaving her still recovering postpartum; her knowing would just cause more trouble, not to help the situation.
But she unexpectedly slipped and said it anyway.
"Xiao Xiao, it’s okay, it’s okay, your grandparents just got lost, they’re being searched for now; the police and Xiao Song, Xiao Qin are all on the mountain. There’ll be news soon, don’t worry, focus on looking after the baby at home, the rest of it we’ve got covered."
Fan Xiuying tried hard to make herself sound more relaxed.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"No, I’ll go back immediately, wait for me."
Jiang Xiaoxiao put down the phone, holding Tang Yuan, she headed out.
Old Mrs. Song already heard the crying, hurriedly running out.
"What’s wrong, what’s wrong, why is the child crying, is he hungry or wet? Come, come, let me see."
Jiang Xiaoxiao handed the child to the old lady, "Grandma, please take care of the child with Grandpa and the maid at home. I need to head out."
Quickly went back to change clothes.
Not knowing what the situation is now, she prepared for the worst case scenario.
She dressed in thick clothes; she remembered her mom mentioning the mountain.
There are mountains nearby.
However, she didn’t know exact locations, mountains are surely cold.
Jiang Xiaoxiao while packing, responded to grandma’s nagging.
"You can’t leave the house regardless of the situation, you’re still in postpartum recovery. It’s only been over ten days, if anything happens, what then? No matter what happens, they have it covered. Can’t you just stay home and look after the child?"
Song Moting had been hiding this matter, the old and young at home didn’t know of the Jiang family’s misfortune.
Jiang Xiaoxiao apologetically kissed the child, gave grandma a hug.
"Grandma, something happened to my grandparents, they’re missing. They might be in life-threatening danger, so I must go take a look. Don’t worry, I’ll be safe and take care of myself; see, I’m dressed warmly, wearing a hat and gloves. Bit of trouble, please look after Tang Yuan with Grandpa and the maid.
If he’s hungry, he’ll have to drink formula. I have to leave now!"
Watching the child reaching out and crying breathlessly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao resolutely left.
Old Mrs. Song just realized, something happened to Old Mrs. Fan?
