Chapter 4

　　Ten minutes later, Lin Shuyue found a barbecue stall and sat down. She ordered a plate of grilled oysters, a plate of fried rice noodles, and a bottle of water. While eating, she recalled the knowledge she had just received from the good and evil classification system.

　　The original body was the same as her, both named Lin Shuyue, twenty years old this year, the same age as her, but she skipped two grades in elementary school, and is now a college student in the Journalism Department of Yangcheng University who is about to graduate and is currently doing an internship at Pengcheng Metropolis Daily.

　　There is a mother, an older sister, and a younger brother who was abducted when he was young.

　　Her sister Lin Shuxing started working after finishing elementary school. Half of her monthly salary was given to the original owner's mother, Lou Fengqin, to have funds for finding her brother. A small half was used for the original owner's studies, and the rest was her own pocket money and savings.

　　Seeing that the original owner got a job at a newspaper and had a salary coming in, her burden was lightened a little and she dared to think about her lifelong event. At the end of last year, she started dating Luo Zhengjun, the cook in their factory cafeteria. Their relationship is stable and they will probably talk about getting married by the end of the year.

　　"You said you love the most..." The cell phone in her pocket rang again. Lin Shuyue did not hesitate this time. She took out her cell phone and pressed the green call button. A soft female voice came from the other end.

　　"Xiaoyue, what time is it? Why haven't you come back for dinner yet?"

　　Lin Shuyue had just moved the food on her desk a little bit. She glanced at it and said, "I'm already on my way back. You eat first."

　　Lin Shuxing on the other end of the phone ignored Lin Shuyue's words and said to her: "Your brother Zhengjun will be here soon, come back quickly."

　　As soon as she finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from the other end. It was Lin Shuxing who was frying vegetables, and the call was hung up.

　　Lin Shuyue asked the boss for a plastic bag, packed up everything on the table, ordered a serving of fried snails, and then walked home according to the original owner's memory.

　　The original owner's family were natives of Pengcheng, but their hometown was not in the downtown area of Pengcheng, but in a remote fishing village under Pengcheng.

　　The original owner's brother was three years old. When the original owner was five years old, her father Lin Jianxin went to the city and had a woman outside. Later, the woman came to the door. After the original owner's mother knew about it, she decisively divorced the original owner's father. The wrangling lasted for half a year. Not long after the two divorced, the brother who was sentenced to be raise by the original owner's father was abducted by human traffickers.

　　The original owner's mother couldn't bear the blow and fell ill. After she recovered, she sold the house and land that the original owner's father gave her when they divorced, and took her two daughters to the city. She worked to support her two daughters and saved money. Every year, she was away from home for two months, following a group of parents who had also lost their children to look for their children all over the country.

　　It was May now. When they heard the news that there was a child in Shanxi, they set off for that place and had been gone for nearly half a month.

　　The house where Lin Shuyue and her sister live was bought by the original owner's mother when she came to Pengcheng to settle down. At that time, this place was still a small village and the houses were sold cheaply. A bungalow of about 100 square meters with a small yard of about 20 square meters only cost about 1,000 yuan.

　　Later, Pengcheng developed rapidly. Small factories have been built around the small village, and a large shopping mall is being selected and prepared. The people in the village have become landlords. The original owner's small house has also risen in price. At the end of the year, someone came and was willing to spend 10,000 yuan to buy her house.

　　The original owner's mother refused. This house was the foundation of her and her two daughters' livelihood, and she was unwilling and afraid to sell it.

　　Lin Shuyue stood at the door of the Lin family for a while, took a deep breath, and pushed open the closed iron door.

　　Lin Shuxing is a person who loves life very much. When she was a child, she asked for a grape vine from her classmate's house and planted it in the southwest corner of the yard. Now it has climbed all over the yard, and the other corners are also full of flowers. The weather in Pengcheng is hot, so there are always flowers in the yard all year round.

　　There was a lamp installed in the grape vines. Under the dim light, there was an octagonal table with two dishes on it, steaming. Lin Shuxing came out of the house, holding a bowl of soup. Behind her, followed a young man in his twenties, wearing an apron and holding a bowl and chopsticks in his hands. Both of them had smiles on their faces.

　　"What are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you come in quickly?"

　　Maybe it was because the night breeze tonight was a little gentle, blowing warmly on her body. Maybe it was because the lamp under the grape rack was too dim, the warm light illuminated the heat of the food, making Lin Shuyue a little stunned and her nose a little sour.

　　Lin Shuyue's mother passed away early in her previous life, and her father was a criminal policeman. He could only stay at home for no more than a week every year, so the time the father and daughter spent together was very little. But during the time they spent together, her father always put her first, so even though they spent little time together, their feelings were very deep.

　　Her father died when she was sixteen and in her first year of high school. Her grandparents also passed away during the summer vacation when she was in her first year of college. From then on, no one in her family would wait for her to have a meal.

　　She responded, turned around and closed the gate of the courtyard. She walked towards Lin Shuxing and the other step by step, and once again felt the reality of traveling through time.

　　She felt that time travel was pretty good, even though her career was very different from that of her previous life, but she had her family back, which was already very good, very good.

　　Lin Shuyue put the things she had packed on the table, as if to add two dishes for everyone. In the original owner's memory, Lou Fengqin had to find a child, Lin Shuxing had to support a college student and shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family. Barbecue was almost extinct in their house.

　　Before Lin Shuxing could say anything to her, she hurriedly said, "The newspaper gave out bonuses today, and I got one too. This is the first time I've received a bonus since I started working, so I bought some barbecue to celebrate."

　　After a pause, Lin Shuyue continued, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat last time?"

　　Lin Shuyue's words made Lin Shuxing swallow back the nagging that was about to come out of her mouth, and her eyes were a little moist. She has always been the one who contributes to the family, and the relationship between the three mother and daughter is very good. But Lin Shuyue took her casual words to heart, and she was deeply moved.

　　Her boyfriend Luo Zhengjun glanced at his sister-in-law and his silent girlfriend, and immediately said, "Today is a good day, I'll go to the store at the door to buy some beer, and we'll have a drink tonight."

　　Without waiting for the two to speak, he walked outside.

　　Going out of the Lin family and turn left, you will see a shop.

　　Lin Shuxing didn't say anything more. Lin Shuyue opened her backpack and found ten brand new hundred-yuan bills in the inner compartment. This was a reward from the system. She thought about it and took out one and gave it to Lin Shuxing.

　　It's not that she doesn't want to give more, but the wages in this era are just so-so. For example, Lin Shuxing has worked in a garment factory for more than ten years. She is a skilled lathe operator. Her monthly salary is calculated based on piecework, and the most she can get is only 1,000 yuan a month.

　　The original owner's base salary at the newspaper was 400 yuan, and the rest was calculated based on the popularity of the articles published and bonuses. For example, the original owner's master, Huang Qiang, a famous paparazzi in Pengcheng, could earn one to two thousand yuan a month. Sometimes celebrities would give these paparazzi hush money, which would be even more. Sometimes, if the photos were taken well, it would be no problem for them to make 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month.

　　The Lin family was short of money, and the original owner, a young girl who had just graduated, wanted to make a lot of money, so when she joined the newspaper, she chose the entertainment field without hesitation. As a result, after half a year, she had filmed a lot of explosive materials, but not many exclusive ones. As a result, she basically only received the basic salary every month, and the highest salary was no more than 700.

　　Given a bonus of 1,000 yuan all of a sudden, Lin Shuxing must be worried that she would be silenced when she got out.

　　When Lin Shuxing saw the money, her eyes lit up immediately. She took the money, hugged Lin Shuyue's head and kissed her: "My sister is awesome. Our family has more savings. Mom can stay out for a few more days."

　　Lin Shuyue felt a little embarrassed, the tips of her ears turned red, and after hearing what happened next, she sighed in her heart.

　　The original owner is 20 years old this year. Her brother, Lin Shuyang, is three years younger than her. He was lost when he was three years old. It has been fourteen years. How slim is the hope of finding him? Among those children who were abducted, the probability of finding them is less than one-third.

　　But even so, there are still batches of parents who are running around looking for their children, even if it means spending all their money!

　　It was precisely because she had read so many reports like this and knew the importance of a child to a family that Lin Shuyue risked her life to stop the human traffickers from leaving before traveling through time!

　　"Human traffickers should be sentenced to death." Lin Shuyue muttered, and Lin Shuxing nodded. Her originally excited mood due to the extra savings became depressed.

　　She was twelve years old when Lin Shuyang was abducted. This little brother almost grew up on her back. When he was lost, Lin Shuxing felt no less miserable than Lou Fengqin.

　　Luo Zhengjun came back with three bottles of beer in his hand. Lin Shuxing calmed down and went into the house to get three cups.

　　Everyone sat down to eat. Lin Shuxing liked seafood, and she was particularly satisfied with the oysters with garlic and chili. Lin Shuyue and Luo Zhengjun subconsciously left the oysters for her and ate the fried rice noodles and the dishes made by Luo Zhengjun.

　　The dishes were not too hard. Luo Zhengjun learned Hunan cuisine. There was more peppers, more eggs and less meat. There was a plate of shredded cabbage and a plate of tofu and winter melon soup. The taste was great. The shredded cabbage was spicy and tasty, especially the eggs, which he fried until crispy and fragrant. The essence of this bowl of food was in the eggs. The shredded cabbage was crispy and tasty, and the winter melon and tofu soup was fresh and sweet.

　　Besides playing games, Lin Shuyue's biggest hobby is eating. The Hunan dishes cooked by Luo Zhengjun are among the top five in Lin Shuyue's opinion. She gave Luo Zhengjun a thumbs up while eating.

　　Luo Zhengjun was very happy. He drank one glass of beer after another, and soon the whole bottle was empty.

　　Lin Shuxing glared at Lin Shuyue and said, "Don't you know he's a fool? You're still trying to feed him some praises." Then he went to grab Luo Zhengjun's cup and said, "Alright, alright, I know your cooking is delicious. Don't drink any more. You know how much you can drink."

　　Luo Zhengjun was not angry when his cup was snatched away. He just looked at Lin Shuxing and giggled. Lin Shuxing couldn't help laughing too.

　　As the two looked at each other, pink bubbles seemed to appear around them.

　　Lin Shuyue silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then burped. That was all. She was just too full of dog food.

　　Luo Zhengjun did not sleep at Lin Shuyue's house. He enjoyed the breeze for a while and went back home at around nine o'clock.

　　Lin Shuxing closed the door, fed the big dog that was tied with a chain by the door, and then went back to her room to sleep.

　　Before going to bed, she went to Lin Shuyue's room next door. Lin Shuyue had already taken a shower and was sleeping soundly in her home clothes. Lin Shuxing turned off the lights for her and returned to her own room. After a while, the last light in the Lin family was also turned off.

　　Lin Shuyue had a dreamless night and was woken up early the next morning. When she got up, she found a newspaper next to her pillow. She looked over it in a daze and her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

　　"Serial rapist/murderer of young girls finally caught after eight years on the run: he has 10 lives on his hands"

　　The bold black picture is clearly the scene of Duan Taoyong's arrest. In the photo, his hair is long and messy, and his body is dirty and worn out, like the legendary wild man of Shennongjia. His eyes are even more cold-blooded and fierce than those seen in the police station, and he has become stronger...

　　And at the top of the newspaper, it was clearly written: Sunday, June 10, 2012!
