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

If this guess is correct, then it points to a bigger problem: since there is a "site", there must be people.

Otherwise, who will do this job of connecting multiple parties?

Who could this person be?

It must have been hidden very deeply, even Aunt An, who has lived in Wangnan Village for 25 years, has not discovered it.

However, apart from bringing back millet from the county town, she had hardly ever participated in any transactions, so it was not surprising that she didn't know.

The good news may be that no matter how deeply this person is hiding, he must still be in the village.

Because if the village is a stronghold, then there must be people in the stronghold, not to mention when a group of people enter Wangnan Village through the tunnel.

This means that among the people Ji Lu brought back from Wangnan Village today, there is very likely this one - or more such key figures.

Ji Lu had obviously thought of this as well, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

After a while, she said to Jiang Baige and Song Siwen, "Didn't Aunt An ask you for help?"

Aunt An nodded: "Yes, yes, yes..."

"I just remembered that the doctor asked me to take Xiu for a checkup. In order not to waste time, let's split up. Baige, you go help Aunt An, and I'll stay with Xiu."

Aunt An was probably a little worried about Shu Xiu and wanted to stay with her, but Jiang Baige had already understood Ji Lu's meaning and directly pulled Aunt An over.

"Then let's go talk with Aunt An in the hall. If there's anything else you need us for, feel free to contact us later."

"it is good."

Because Aunt An was not injured, she only underwent a simple checkup and did not need to be hospitalized.

Of course, as a key witness, she couldn't just leave.

But she couldn't be restrained, so she was with Shu Xiu before, and now she is with Jiang Baige and Song Siwen, all with the intention of keeping her under surveillance.

The three of them found a seat connected to each other and sat down, with Aunt An in the middle, and Jiang Baige and Song Siwen sitting on either side of her.

"Aunt An...you want us to help you find your daughter, right?"

After Song Siwen asked, Aunt An immediately grabbed her hand and nodded vigorously!

"When I left her, she was only five years old... Now, she should be thirty." Aunt An took out a photo from her pocket. "This is the only photo of her I have. It was taken when she was one month old. I have kept it in my wallet. When that group of people... kidnapped me, only this wallet was left with me."

"Auntie An, if it's very painful, then..."

"No, I must say it." Aunt An's expression was very resolute. "I have been waiting for this day for 25 years."

"So how do you want us to help you?"

"I just talked to Xiu'er about this. She said that since I know my daughter's name and ID number, the police can help check it later. But those need to go through some procedures and processes, and she is in poor health now, and the comrades in the police station seem to be very busy, so I think..."

"You want us to try and help you make an appeal online, right?"

Aunt An nodded rapidly.

"We can help you with this." Song Siwen thought for a moment, "I'll record a video for you later. You tell the camera about the situation when you and your daughter were separated, such as the date, location, and what happened on that day. If you want, you can also talk about some things that only you and your daughter know, such as her nickname... Then I will edit these and put them online, and think of some ways to let more people see them."

But relying on the Internet alone may not be enough.

"After we finish recording the video, we can do another long live broadcast... By the way, please give me your basic information. When I get back, I will ask my friends around me to see if I can mobilize more people..."

"Okay, okay, okay, can we start now?"

Aunt An was about to stand up, but soon stopped: "Am I too sloppy now? How about I wash up? But I can't go back to Wangnan Village now, and I don't have any money. I...what should I do! I am such a useless mother!"

Seeing that she was about to beat her legs and cry, Jiang Baige hurriedly supported her: "It's okay, Aunt An, we will accompany you to wash your face and comb your hair later, just be clean and refreshed."

"Will she not recognize me... Don't look at Aunt An like this now. I used to love to be beautiful. And that day was Nannan's birthday, so I specially changed into new clothes, got a new hairstyle, and ordered a cake for her... But there was something going on at the factory that day, so I got off work late. When I got the cake, I passed an alley with a broken street light..."

The tears finally fell. Jiang Baige and the others did not say anything, but gently patted Aunt An's hunched back and handed her a tissue at the right time.

Aunt An shrank her nose and raised her voice: "I really regret it. What's the point of being pretty... If I hadn't worn a skirt and high heels at the time, but running shoes and sportswear, maybe I would have run away..."

"No, it's not your fault, Aunt Ann. It's not your fault."

"I know." Aunt An nodded and forced a smile, "I know it's not my fault, but I just regret it..."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something: "Oh, right, it was today... I thought that rescuing Xiu'er and the girl I brought back to the village was the end, but I didn't expect to find so many children. Do you know how the police found them?"

She didn't know that Sister Ji had already told Jiang Baige and the others about it because of those photos of Zhuang Yao, and she didn't know the truth very well.

"It's the girl with a scar on her face..." Aunt An gestured at her face, not out of fear, but out of heartache.

"She was so weak... I know how those scumbags treated people like us, but she had the strength to pound on the door. Coincidentally, the female police officer was searching nearby and heard her cry for help, so she rescued them."

So there is this episode?

Jiang Baige thought of Zhuang Yao who was lying on the hospital bed and had difficulty speaking. She could hardly imagine how she could have burst out with such a strong desire to survive at that critical moment.

"Tell me, if I had been as strong and motivated as she was, wouldn't I have..."

What Aunt An said is of course correct. The stronger you are, the greater your chance of escaping when you encounter danger.

But Jiang Baige would not say this at this moment, because Aunt An also used her own method to wait for her own dawn.

"Aunt An, let's not think too much. Everything is fine now." Jiang Baige helped Aunt An up from her seat, and said to Song Siwen, "I'll go wash Aunt An's face and comb her hair first, you fix the equipment, and we'll find a bright and quiet place to record the video first!"

Song Siwen took out a selfie stick with a tripod base from her bag and made an "OK" gesture.
