Jiaojiao ran out with a bag of snacks, but didn't see her younger sister at the door. She looked around outside, but still couldn't see her.

"Mom, where did my little sister go?"

"I also brought the little cake you bought me yesterday, which I plan to give to my little sister."

Jiaojiao tugged at her mother's trouser leg, but Yu Huifang seemed oblivious, remaining motionless and staring unfocused ahead.

Jiaojiao sensed something was wrong, looked up at her mother, and burst into tears.

Yu Huifang only came to her senses when she heard her daughter crying, and quickly comforted her.

Seeing that her mother had returned to normal, Jiaojiao was immediately comforted.

"Mom, where did my little sister go?"

"My sister is home."

"Oh, did Mom ask where my sister lives?"

"I'm sorry, baby, Mommy forgot," Yu Huifang replied as she led her daughter back into the house.

The little girl's words were still in my mind: "You are very wealthy. Although you are not rich enough to rival a country, you are still one of the wealthiest people in this era. Wealth is a powerful motivator, and some people will stop at nothing to get it."

"For example: faking death, entrusting an orphan to someone else, raising them, and finally receiving this enormous wealth."

She was stunned when she heard the first sentence. She was indeed very wealthy, all of which had been passed down in her family for hundreds of years.

Her family was originally prosperous, but during the war, some were killed and others sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

In the end, she was all alone.

The wealth was hidden all over the country, and only she knew the locations; even her deceased husband was unaware of them.

She really wanted to ask that strange child how he knew she had a huge fortune.

But before she could speak, they heard her next words, which implied that others knew about her vast wealth and had taken action against it.

The people who carried out this action were Qin Fei and her husband.

A word that Yu Huifang had just overlooked suddenly popped into her mind.

suspended animation?

She thought about it carefully; yes, the strange child had indeed said he was faking his death and entrusting his orphan to someone else...

If this is true, then Qin Fei has been friends with her for so many years; wouldn't she have ulterior motives?

Thinking of this, she trembled with anger.

"Mom, are you cold?"

Back in the living room, Jiaojiao took out the small cakes from the snack bag, making sure they weren't crushed.

She glanced at her mother and noticed she was trembling, and instinctively asked her a question.

Yu Huifang was indeed feeling cold, as if her blood had stopped flowing.

However, to avoid worrying her daughter, she forced a smile, "Mommy isn't cold, I'm just a little tired from standing for so long. Mommy's going to rest in my room for a bit. Jiaojiao, don't run around, okay?"

Little Jiao Jiao took a bite of cake, nodded obediently, and said, "Mommy, Jiao Jiao won't run around; she'll just play with building blocks at home."

"My baby is so good!"

……

Yun Li collapsed as soon as he returned to the space; this was the backlash from forcibly activating the Witch Eye.

The Witch's Eye is equivalent to the celestial eye in metaphysics; at its highest level, it can see a person's past and future.

The forcibly activated Witch Eyes are only at the beginner level, possessing only the most basic face reading skills.

She knew from the beginning that Wu Tong was sealed, but she still forcibly opened it despite the danger because she wanted to know what kind of world this was.

Is there some other special creature besides the house-guarding weasel?

After observing them, Wu Tong found that both the little girl Jiao Jiao and Zheng Yuan were ordinary people with nothing special about them.

She lay there with her eyes closed, unable to move, resting while pondering something she couldn't understand.

So, why did that little girl named Jiaojiao have a dream about a warning?

This should just be an ordinary world, and Jiaojiao is just an ordinary little girl.

Logically, it's impossible for her to have a dream about early warning.

What exactly happened?

Yun Li was completely baffled and finally had to give up thinking about it and rest peacefully, since it had nothing to do with her seeking revenge anyway.

It took her three whole days to recover.

However, after recovering, she discovered that her witch eyes were completely sealed off.

Like other superpowers, it vanished without a trace.

Fortunately, it only sealed the Witch's Eye, not the Blood Drop's ability to find people.

After eating, he dressed up as a beggar and left the space carrying a small basket.

She's going to exchange some of the world's currency.

This is what she just remembered. Walking back to Menzhong County would take too much time, so it would be better to take the train back.

Yun Li was unaware that in this era, travel required a letter of introduction, and that as a small child, she couldn't buy a ticket without an adult.

A few days ago, when Yun Li was using her spiritual power to look around, she discovered a mysterious place where things could be bought and sold. This is the place she is going to this time.

The basket contained three jin of rice, a chicken, a duck, and five apples, and was covered with a handful of dry grass.

It wasn't that she didn't want to bring more things, but the basket could only hold so much.

If you ask why she didn't use a bigger basket, the only reason is that Yun Li is too small. Carrying such a large basket would create a disproportionate effect on her size, making her the center of attention on the street.

Yun Li arrived at the alley entrance, where a young man squatting there smoking a cigarette stopped her.

"Little one, who are you looking for?"

The first thing that caught Yun Li's eye was the cloth shoes on the young man's feet. It was so hot, weren't his feet stuffy?

He looked up at the young man, pointed inside, and said, "I want to go in."

"When asked who you were looking for, why did you give an irrelevant answer?"

The black market is tightly controlled in this era, and you can't easily trust even a child, lest it be a trap to lull you into a false sense of security.

The young man glanced into her basket; it wasn't covered very tightly, and he could clearly see a bit of red.

"My aunt looks absolutely gorgeous today."

Yun Li: "..."

Why did he suddenly bring this up? She didn't even know his aunt, but she still replied.

"It's a happy occasion."

The young man's expression changed, and he lifted Yun Li with one hand and threw her out, shouting, "My aunt is so beautiful! This is a funeral, not a celebration! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Get out!"

Yun Li was suddenly lifted up. Before she could react, she didn't resist and let the young man throw her out of the alley.

When Yun Li fell, the contents of her basket spilled out.

The first things to roll out were several large red apples, and the young man's eyes lit up immediately.

Before Yun Li could get up, the young man picked her up and put her aside. When she turned around, she saw the young man picking up apples, chickens, and ducks on the ground.

The three pounds of rice didn't fall out from the bottom of the basket.

After gathering the items, the young man placed them in Yun Li's basket, took the basket off his back and carried it in his hand, while holding her in his other hand and walking into the alley.

As he walked, he kept complaining, "Little brat, why didn't you say you brought all these good things? Now I thought you were here to cause trouble."

"Is this your first time here? Where are your parents?"

"That's all. It's just me." Yun Li replied calmly.

The young man paused for a moment, then continued walking. "So how did you find your way here?"

"I saw it."

"Now that you've seen it, why can't you match the code?"

"What code?"

"My aunt looks stunning today," the next line is: "My great-aunt looks incredibly ugly today."

The young man looked down at Yun Li, whom he was carrying, and said, "Remember this, it's the code. Don't forget it next time."

Yun Li: "..."

What a bizarre code! Who did my aunt and great-aunt offend?

"knew!"

The young man led Yun Li to a small courtyard. Yun Li was puzzled. Wasn't the transaction place further inside? Why did he bring her here?
