Chapter 171 She disappeared? Lao Shi also disappeared?
Xu Huaian hurried down the mountain carrying Shi Qingqian on his back, and their figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
In the jungle not far behind them, two figures stood quietly.
One of them was Boss Lei’s confidant Ah Qi, and the other was Boss Lei who had just jumped off a cliff not long ago.
Ah Qi looked nervous, his eyes fixed on the direction where Xu Huaian and Shi Qingqian left.
Boss Lei beside him had a face as pale as paper, as if he would fall down at any time.
Boss Lei's body was shaking slightly, perhaps because of excessive blood loss or the ineffectiveness of the illusion pill. His once crazy and fiery eyes had now become dim.
Boss Lei's breathing was a little rapid, and every breath seemed to use up all his strength.
The wound still hurts a little, and although the bleeding has stopped, the feeling of weakness is still there.
He looked at Shi Qingqian's departing back, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Ah Qi asked in a low voice, his voice full of worry.
Boss Lei was silent for a moment, then he spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and weak: "First find a place to hide, then send a message to the base and ask someone to send me medicine."
"Boss, your illness is really not..."
"Shut up!" Boss Lei interrupted Ah Qi harshly, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes. He didn't want to hear any questions about his illness, especially at this time.
Ah Qi fell silent and carefully supported Boss Lei.
Boss Lei's eyes were still fixed on the direction where Shi Qingqian disappeared, and his thoughts were churning in his mind.
He thought of Shi Qingqian's resolute eyes and words, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He never expected that one day he would fall into the hands of a woman.
"Let's go!" Boss Lei gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress the pain and weakness in his body.
Ah Qi quickly supported him and walked towards the depths of the forest. Their figures gradually disappeared in the dense woods, leaving only silence.
At this time, Xu Huaian had already come down the mountain carrying Shi Qingqian and was rushing towards the hospital.
……
"Oh, what should we do? The young lady has been missing for more than half a month, and now even the gentleman..." Aunt Li's voice gradually choked with sobs.
Aunt Li and Butler Li have been in the Shi family for more than 20 years. Father Shi has never treated them unfairly, and they have also worked hard.
As for Shi Qingqian, he watched her grow up and loved her like his own child.
"How could such a good family become like this? The young lady suddenly disappeared while traveling. There is no news at all. The husband was extremely worried and looked for her everywhere, but she disappeared inexplicably. What if something happened to her?
In the study, Aunt Li's sobbing made the atmosphere particularly heavy.
Butler Li patted Aunt Li's shoulder, trying to comfort her, but his own face was full of worry.
"Don't worry too much. Maybe the young lady and the gentleman will be lucky and will be back soon." Although Butler Li's voice was calm, it was difficult to hide the worry in it.
They recalled Shi Qingqian's liveliness and cuteness as a child, and her kindness and intelligence as an adult, but those beautiful memories are now shrouded in worry and anxiety.
Shi Qingqian stood outside the study door, quietly listening to the conversation between Aunt Li and Butler Li, the shock and grief in her heart surging like a tide.
From their words, she gradually pieced together what had happened.
It turned out that after she traveled to the 70s, her body in this era also disappeared.
In the eyes of others, she naturally became missing.
When the news reached Shi's father, he was extremely anxious. He immediately put everything aside and went out to find his daughter at all costs.
But just as they were passing a bridge, an accident suddenly occurred. For some unknown reason, the car suddenly overturned, and the driver and Shi's father fell into the river. The rushing river water instantly swallowed them.
Later, the driver was fortunately rescued, but Shi's father disappeared and his life or death was unknown.
Shi Qingqian's mind flashed with the image of her father anxiously looking for her, as well as the scene of the car overturning, and her heart was filled with guilt.
Over the years, she has often quarreled and argued with her father, and would run away from home in anger, each time leaving for half a year.
So their daily communication becomes:
Your daughter, little ancestor: Give me money.
Shi Yuan: [Transfer]
Your daughter is my little ancestor: money.
Shi Yuan: [Transfer]
Your daughter, little ancestor:.
Shi Yuan: [Transfer]
Shi Qingqian felt very guilty when she thought about how she had not gotten along well with Lao Shi in the past and how he disappeared because of her.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have argued with him before.
Suddenly, a bold guess popped up in Qingqian's mind.
What if the reason for Lao Shi’s disappearance is the same as hers, both due to time travel?
Her body disappeared because she traveled back to the 70s. If she disappeared when she was old because of time travel, would she have traveled back to the 70s as well?
A strong hope surged in Shi Qingqian's heart.
She began to pray silently in her heart, hoping that her guess was correct.
If Lao Shi really traveled back to the 70s, then they would have hope of meeting again.
If they really meet again as father and daughter, she will definitely not be as angry with him as before.
Shi Qingqian walked around the house. Although she didn't know why she came back, she had a feeling that she wouldn't be able to stay for long this time and might never come back.
So she wanted to take a few more looks at this home where she had lived for more than 20 years.
Shi Qingqian was in a complicated and heavy mood, and her soul was like a light feather, slowly floating in this familiar home.
She first came to the living room. The sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the soft carpet. The scene of the father and daughter laughing and talking here seemed to be still vivid in her mind.
She remembered that when she was a child, she always played with her father in this living room. At that time, her father's face was filled with a warm smile and his eyes were full of love for her.
Now, the living room is silent, with only the furniture standing quietly.
Shi Qingqian's gaze shifted to the entire wall of photos, which contained photos of her from childhood to adulthood and her old age.
Ever since she was a child, she rode on Lao Shi's neck, smiling innocently, and Lao Shi looked at her lovingly, his eyes full of love.
When she graduated with her doctorate, she was wearing a doctoral gown and a doctoral hat in the photo, with a bright and confident smile, while Lao Shi stood beside her, his eyes full of pride and satisfaction.
Shi Qingqian stood quietly in front of the photo wall, her eyes slowly scanning each photo. Those beautiful memories flooded into her heart like a tide, and her heart was full of attachment and reluctance.
However, at this moment, the familiar suction force came again.
Shi Qingqian's heart suddenly tightened. She knew that she was about to leave again. Her soul seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, gradually leaving this familiar space.
She turned around slowly and took another deep look at the home where she had lived for more than 20 years.
His gaze lingered on the photo wall for a moment, then he slowly closed his eyes.
As the suction force increased, Shi Qingqian's figure gradually became blurred.
The already quiet living room suddenly became even quieter. Only the sunlight was still shining on the carpet, as if waiting for the owner to return.
