The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 259

“I'll be back the day after.” Xia Wanyuan patted Jun Shiling on the shoulder as if he was a leader comforting his subordinates. 

Jun Shiling almost laughed in anger.

Jun Shiling hugged Xia Wanyuan and did not speak. Xia Wanyuan leaned over Jun Shiling's ears. 

The heat hit his ears, making his heart pound. The words that came out of Xia Wanyuan's mouth made Jun Shiling even more excited. "I'll let you bully me once I get back."

Jun Shiling's hand suddenly stiffened as he looked at Xia Wanyuan with burning eyes. 

"Five times."

“Then I won't be back.” Xia Wanyuan pretended to push Jun Shiling away.

"OK okay okay. After that will happen.”

Jun Shiling rubbed Xia Wanyuan's hair, thinking that it wouldn't be up to her when the time came.

The next morning, Shen Qian waited for Xia Wanyuan in the company. Dongshan is a small place without an airport.

They can only take a plane to the nearest airport and change another car.

There are many mountains on the way to the East Mountain. After a long and sustained mountain path, Xia Wanyuan and the others finally arrived at the entrance of the Eastern Mountain.

It was different from what Xia Wanyuan had imagined. 

Dongshan is not a deserted mountain village. In fact, the mountains are beautiful and the view is very good. 

However, due to the inconvenience of transportation, it is very difficult to get out. Although I knew this place was beautiful, not many people wanted to come.

“Come go to village.” Xia Wanyuan got down from the car and wanted to see her in person.

“Alright, I'll go with you.” Shen Qian had been staying here with the aunt of the melon seller for the past few days and was already somewhat familiar with this place.

Now, he was taking Xia Wanyuan around the village. The soil here was not bad, and various fruit trees could be seen everywhere. 

Xia Wanyuan looked around. No wonder Shen Qian said that this was an excellent fruit base.

Along the way, the thing that left the deepest impression on Xia Wanyuan was the statue of a god that could be seen everywhere. 

People here are very superstitious. The magician profession, which was no longer visible on the outside, had a high status here. People should go and ask for luck when they leave.

The big reason why the villagers did not allow the construction team to proceed was because the people here had heard someone say that once the ground was touched, it was a real problem, it would injure Feng Shui here and disturb the souls of their ancestors.

Xia Wanyuan felt that someone was deliberately releasing this rumor. 

"Have you found out who it is?"

“That melon seller is what bribes the shamans in the village. After all, after we have repaired the path, the benefits they can gain from it will disappear altogether.” 

Shen Qian plucked the fruit from the tree by the side and placed it in the spring to wash it before handing it to Xia Wanyuan.

"Takhyul? That's easy." Xia Wanyuan bit, and the fragrance of the juice overflowed. 

"Do it like this."

Xia Wanyuan had instructed Shen Qian on some matters. 

When Shen Qian heard this, she looked at Xia Wanyuan in awe. 

“CEO Xia, your method is very good. Do to them what they did to you. Now, those melon sellers have no choice.”

With Xia Wanyuan's approval, Shen Qian went to settle some matters while Xia Wanyuan walked alone around the village.

The air in the mountains was good, and the springs were clear. Wild grass and fruit can be seen everywhere. Xia Wanyuan took a small video and sent it to Jun Shiling.

At the company office, Jun Shiling was listening to Lin Jing's employment report when her phone suddenly rang. Jun Shiling took it and looked at it with a gentle expression.

A basin floated in Lin Jing's heart. The basin is filled with dog food.

Thinking of Jun Shiling's promise to add another car to the year-end bonus, Lin Jing felt that the dog food was actually quite good. 

She liked..

The girls outside never came to the village. Although Xia Wanyuan was wearing a mask, her beautiful eyes and beautiful clothes were enough to shock the villagers on the street.

Xia Wanyuan walked slowly. As he sent a message to Jun Shiling, he checked his surroundings.

"Is that Miss Xia?" Someone suddenly called out to him from behind. Xia Wanyuan turned around. It was the aunt who sold the melon at the time.

"Auntie."

“This is really Miss Xia!! Why are you here?! Come, come, come, come and sit in my house for a while” said the aunt and enthusiastically invited Xia Wanyuan.

"okay." Xia Wanyuan nodded. 

Aunty hurriedly walked over to Xia Wanyuan's side, as if to protect her. He took her home and closed the door as soon as he came in.

“Nona Xia, why did you come to our small mountain village? Thank you for spending so much money to buy our fruits last time.” 

Knowing that Xia Wanyuan liked to eat watermelons, her aunt specifically took out an icy watermelon from the well water and split it apart. Green-red melon porridge is very alluring.

“Aiyo, Miss Xia, I must remind you that our poor mountain is not like a big city. Quickly exit while the sky is still bright.” Aunty had a good impression of this handsome and kind-hearted celebrity.

“Aibi, do you mean there is human trafficking in the village?” Xia Wanyuan originally only wanted to investigate. 

In his previous life, when he was in power, he had dealt with many similar incidents. 

The more isolated and backward a place is, the easier it is to breed such conflicts.

In the end, the melon seller's expression instantly changed. He lowered his voice. 

“Miss Xia, everyone here comes from the same family. Even the local police could do nothing to them. You must be careful. I'll send you out later. Not good linger here.”

“It's okay, Auntie. I'll have someone pick me up later.” Xia Wanyuan smiled comfortingly. 

"Is this your son?"

A head poked out from the corner of the wall. He looked strong and buff, but his eyes were very bright. Even though the melon seed seller was from the mountains, it was clear that she liked cleanliness. The boy seemed to be well taken care of.

“Yes, this is my youngest child. Come here and call brother.”

"Sister," the little boy called out firmly.

"Hello, this is for you to eat." Xia Wanyuan took out a bag of chocolate from her bag and handed it to the boy. 

The boy reached out to take it. His hands were full of fine wounds, as if they were cut by grass.

"What class are you in?" Xia Wanyuan asked casually.

“He is not in school. Huh." At this point, the middle-aged woman sighed. 

“We only have one school here and only one teacher at that school. He died of illness last year and no one wants to come to our side. This child will reach school age, but without a teacher, what can we do?”

Xia Wanyuan looked at the bright eyes of the boy. 

"Do you want to go to school?"

"Yes." Yeah." The little boy nodded obediently. 

Even though the child was still a child, he always heard his parents talking about it. Only the school can change their fate.

Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and did not speak any further. 

“Auntie, it's late. I'll be back first.”

"alright then. Would you like to bring some watermelon back? I don't have anything good here.”

"unneeded. I'll come and visit you again tomorrow. See you," Xia Wanyuan said and walked out, calling Shen Qian.

Before the call was connected, several people had already walked over. Their gazes continued to sweep over Xia Wanyuan, and the turbidity in their eyes made people feel uneasy.

A few men who spoke in a local dialect surrounded a relatively small middle-aged woman in the middle and pointed to Xia Wanyuan.

"Young lady, where are you going?" The middle-aged woman actually spoke real Mandarin. His eyes shone as he looked at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan ignored them and picked up Shen Qian's phone. 

"Hello, Shen Qian's. Come and pick me up now. I am at the door of the fifth house at the entrance of the village.”

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had someone with her, doubt flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes. 

However, the man standing beside her gestured with her hand. The middle-aged woman strengthened her heart and signaled for them to calm down.

“Wolves will appear in this village at night. Little girl, don't walk alone. Why don't you follow us to the village chief's house?”

Xia Wanyuan had eliminated so many mountain bandits before and had a deep understanding of the saying that bad people appeared in poor mountains and rivers. 

He predicted Shen Qian would arrive soon and immediately said coldly

"Missed."

"Hey, little girl, why did you refuse a toast just to be forced to drink money?" The middle-aged woman looked at him, and the man standing on both sides walked towards Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan dodged for a while, and the two of them missed. 

They feel ashamed. 

Xia Wanyuan picked up the fire stick that someone threw and swung it a few times. The person in front had blood on his head. The commotion here quickly caught the attention of the other residents in the village.

Some people open the door to see and close it again.

Xia Wanyuan Movement nimble. Not only were these people unable to catch him, but they were also beaten by him. 

At this moment, Shen Qian drove the SUV and roared. Xia Wanyuan directly got into the car. Shen Qian stepped on the gas pedal and lifted the cloud of dust.

“How unlucky. It's not easy for me to meet a good person, but he's actually a tough person.” The middle-aged woman spat in the direction that Xia Wanyuan had left behind. 

“Forget, forget. Go and see the new stuff I brought. This time, he's better. She can definitely give birth to a son.”
