  Jiang Xi didn't ask the heavens why they couldn't just be kind and send her back to before she was kidnapped. Instead, she felt that this timing was just right, and a tiny bit of indescribable comfort arose within her: perhaps it was because she had suffered for so long, being too fortunate made her uneasy, but a little bit of fortune was enough.

  For this tile house, Jiang Xi is deeply etched in her memory. In the countless days and nights of being beaten and abused at Sangjia Dam, she had simulated escaping over and over again in her mind, and this experience was almost etched into her heart.

  "Xiao Ling, go back and sit properly, someone is coming."

  As expected, just as the sound of Jiang Xi's voice had barely faded away, the door "creaked" open from outside, and the old wooden door in the rural area bounced back against the wall.

  A rural woman in her thirties with hair like a bird's nest rushed in, shouting: "What are you yelling about? Are you all mourning? If you yell again, I'll send you all to see the King of Hell tonight!"

  A loud clang was heard, and an iron basin fell to the ground.

  It's certainly not like at home where you can have a bowl of rice with several dishes, pick and choose what you like, and if you don't like it, you can just turn the bowl over.

  Congee cooked with old rice from who-knows-which year, floating on top are a few rotten leaves, occasionally you can even see dead insects drifting around, and it's not uncommon to crack your teeth on stones when taking a bite.

  Thin porridge, barely enough to keep from starving.

  Not eating? Okay.

  The next two meals continue to starve.

  Those who deceive people will not take pity on you just because of your young age - apart from the little skin used to deceive people outside, the heart in their chest cavity is probably already rotten.

  The iron basin came down, and the children who were still crying just now gathered around one by one, waiting for their turn to get porridge.

  Most of them were like Xiaoling, young children who could run and jump, but they were all quiet as chickens, too well-behaved. There weren't many as big as Jiangxi.

  The kidnappers are particular about who they abduct and won't take just anyone.

  Young girls of her age are the most popular, fresh and lively like a flower. Many buyers want them, they can be sold at a good price; while older boys are not wanted, firstly because they are difficult to manage, secondly because there is no place for them to go. Then there are five or six year old children who are also in high demand, many families without sons rush to buy them.

  It's Jiang Xi's turn now.

  Jiang Xi hung his head and took over the cracked porcelain bowl, for the first time honestly slurping away on the spot.

  The woman who was serving congee snorted coldly, apparently very satisfied with the quietness of the troublemaker, and said sarcastically:

  "In my territory, no matter if you were a celestial being before, once you're here, you'd better behave yourself! Listen to me and you'll get food, otherwise..." The cook's gaze swept around the room, and the children couldn't help but shiver, hastening their pace as they ate their porridge.

  Jiang Xi certainly wouldn't argue with her -

  That was something she did in her past life.

  No matter how good you are at talking, it's useless against these people who have ways to deal with troublemakers.

  She's only been here for two days and already got her head smashed against the wall, now it's more important to "learn a lesson" and lower the other party's guard. As for these kids around - Jiang Xi tightened his already scarce sympathetic heart and pretended not to see.

  "Little stream... have you eaten yet?"

  A soft and timid voice sounded, Jiang Xi knew without turning her head that it was Sun Ting, the classmate who had been kidnapped along with her.

  In this room, there were three others of her age, all girls.

  A female college student, reportedly got high at a nightclub and was drugged, with an ordinary appearance, her already thin clothes had become tattered and smelly from the prolonged ordeal, her hair disheveled and reeking, now sat with her head down, lost in thought.

  However, Jiang Xi knew: this person was absolutely not a lamp that saves oil.

  She had managed to escape once before, but was quickly caught and brought back - if it hadn't been for the college girl shouting loudly and waking everyone up, she might have gotten even further away.

  There is also Sun Ting, the two of them can't tell who implicated whom, they went out to buy stationery together and were kidnapped together, successfully forming a pair of sisters in distress.

  Later she was sold first, as for the remaining Sun Ting... I think her luck won't be much stronger than mine.

  It seems like it was a long time ago when I think back on it now.

  I'm full.

  Jiang Xi returned the ceramic basin to the girl who was picking flowers, and then retreated back to her own straw mat with a sullen expression. Sun Ting looked at her in surprise, feeling that this deskmate of hers had somehow... changed.

  She couldn't say it out loud, as if overnight the warm and blooming spring had turned into a cold and harsh winter, with a gloom that was always hidden from the sun.

  "What's wrong, Little Creek?"

  Sun Ting swallowed her words, and that dirty little face looked at Jiang Xi in a daze, but only got Jiang Xi's silent glance. She was suddenly changed, and her mind was in chaos, she just instinctively wanted to stick with familiar people, and carefully sat down next to Jiang Xi.

  Jiang Xi glanced at her and didn't make a sound, only bowing his head to think of a countermeasure.

  This room goes out, next to it is a hall, usually morning and evening are watched by people, two patrollers in a group take turns, a total of four men and one woman, each with a good hand strength, she has no strength to tie a chicken, and must not be an opponent if forced.

  Moreover, at night there is another bowl of "added ingredient" congee, after eating it becomes a soft-shelled shrimp, the anesthetic can work for one night, these flower boys have been very familiar with this set in the long-term operation of the industry.

  So, it's only at night that the vigilance of the flower children, including these imprisoned kids, is reduced to its lowest.

  Ke Jiangxi couldn't escape at night, firstly because the tyrannical woman would definitely watch them eat the porridge mixed with anesthetic, and secondly it was impossible to escape in the evening in this desolate countryside where lights were turned off early and there were no vehicles.

  Just as she was thinking of a countermeasure, Jiang Xi suddenly felt an itch in her palm, as if something was trying to drill through her palm and grow outwards, painful yet accompanied by an indescribable comfort.

  She stretched out her palm, but she was stunned there.

  Right on that dirty, blood-stained palm, a tender green bud was quietly breaking through the soil, and this soil was apparently her palm.

  A blade of grass grew in her palm.

  Its body is like a bean sprout, not even half the height of a fingernail, and when it sees a river or stream, it twitches its body as if beckoning.

  Jiang Xi's palm suddenly closed with a "slap" - she was so shocked by this mysterious scene that for a moment, she even forgot her plan to escape.

  Sun Ting was startled by her movement and saw that Jiang Xi's face was not right, so she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Xiao Xi, what's wrong?"

  Jiang Xi shook his head, his flower-cat-like face unreadable, yet somehow conveying that something was amiss: "Nothing."

  It's night.

  After finishing the thin porridge with added ingredients, Jiang Xi leaned against the wall on one side, and only opened his eyes after everyone had fallen asleep.

  She spread out her palm, staring blankly at that sprout of "bean sprouts", the moonlight couldn't shine into this dark and airtight room, Jiang Xi wasn't afraid of people seeing the abnormality on her palm.

  She carefully stretched out her left hand and touched the palm, and indeed felt the soft and delicate texture unique to plant leaves. She then turned to the root, and the stem of the "bean sprout" merged seamlessly with her palm.

  Jiang Xi exerted himself to pull outward, but found that except for making himself pant with exhaustion, it had no effect.

  "Douya Cai" grew a strong and stubborn physique, unyieldingly born in the palm of its own hand.

  Was she reborn to come back, and would she COS Edward's scissorhands, and later become a plant hand? Jiang Xi thought with a mixture of laughter and tears, but three words floated in her mind:

  "Lotus Heart Grass."

  What's on your mind?

  Jiang Xi was certain that neither in her past life nor now had she ever heard of this name, at most she only knew about the "Bodhi Tree".

  So, is Bodhi Grass saying that the "bean sprout" in her palm?

  Jiang Xi's palms were clasped together, and she tentatively thought in her mind, "What is Pu Xin Cao?"

  It turns out that a few lead-printed characters about the origin of Bodhi grass were forcibly poured into Jiang Xi's brain, making him dizzy and confused. After sorting it out with great difficulty, it seems that this Bodhi grass originated from a connected root grass growing under the Bodhi tree in front of the Buddha's gate, named "Bodhi Heart"?

  How did the grass grow into her palm?

  Jiang Xi couldn't understand, and a lead-printed phrase naturally appeared in his mind: "The tender grass of Bodhi, if the Bodhi grass dies, then the host will perish; if the Bodhi grass survives, then the host will survive."

  Jiang Xi was getting anxious, she had just been reborn and hadn't escaped this place yet, hadn't settled her parents down, and still had a long life to live, how could she not survive because of the death of a tender little grass?

  It's as if having experienced such a bizarre thing, finding one's life tied to that of a small blade of grass, has made it seem almost ordinary.

  Jiang Xi's past made her good at endurance, even if she had countless doubts in her heart, she still suppressed her curiosity and only asked in her mind: "Why didn't the Bodhi grass die?"

  She asked coarsely, and the lead type also answered roughly:

  "Air."

  Jiang Xi didn't understand and couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say?"

  "Bodhi grass feeds on human joy, if the host gets one person's delight, then Bodhi grass lives for another day, if it gets a hundred people's delight, it lives for a hundred days, and with a hundred people's delight, it brews dew to dispel worries."

  "What if a thousand people were delighted?"

  "Live for thousands of days and brew the elixir of immortality."

  "Would it delight ten thousand people?"

  "May you live for ten thousand days and drink sweet wine."

  "What if billions of people are delighted?"

  “……”

  The lead type did not respond.

  Jiang Xi rested her head, her long eyelashes flickering in the night, "How many more days can I live?"

  If her current situation were to be translated into a math problem, she would probably have encountered an extremely difficult extra-credit question. The only thing she can do now is to first escape this prison and then think of other things.

  "Ten days."

  Jiang Xi suddenly closed his eyes, he was only ten years old.

  She couldn't put into words what was in her heart, yet she felt it should be this way.

  She used to only know how to bury her head in books and rarely interact with people, able to count out ten around her, which was already satisfying.

  Ten days, a period that is neither long nor short, she needs to wait for the best moment to strike.

  "What is Xieyoulu?"

  The night is long, the river creek is boring, so she might as well ask the question that has been on her mind all along. As the saying goes, "Great difficulties do not kill, there must be good fortune afterwards." She patted her arm heavily, perhaps heaven will open its eyes?

  The lead character in his mind took half a day to surface:

  "Relieving Dew, as the name suggests, removes additional debuffs from the body, stubborn diseases are unbearable."

  Jiang Xi suddenly opened his eyes, "What if it's a hypnotic drug?"

  "Okay."

  Every word counts, every character is precious.

  Jiang Xi felt like he had found a breakthrough.

  He really couldn't bear to part with her, his own daughter was only sixteen years old. What can a sixteen-year-old child do? Reading comics, chasing stars, living a comfortable life being pampered by their parents.

  But what about He Jiang's patriotic daughter?

  In the middle of the night, he went to the bathroom and saw that the light in his daughter's room was still on. Jiang Aiguo knew that his daughter was afraid of falling behind in her studies, so she was working hard to catch up. That was understandable, but what wasn't was that she didn't even get a break on weekends. Every day, she had to dress up like an adult and stand at the entrance of this coffee shop for hours, forcing a smile until her cheeks were stiff. When she came home, she still had to let her mother massage her.

  Jiang's father thought of the heart-wrenching scene he had witnessed beside him last weekend and couldn't help but mutter to himself. Jiang Xi hated it when he got like this, so she hastily waved her hand:

  "Dad, don't worry, if you're not coming, I won't leave. Go back obediently and stop waiting outside foolishly, okay?"

  "Blindly poor."

  "Hey, if you're getting tired of this method, we can switch to another one. There's always a way, right?"

  "Alright, alright, Dad, you'd better not stay here any longer, or it'll delay things."

  Finally managed to persuade the person to leave, Lili half pushed the door and poked her head out, looking at the motorcycle that was running away in the distance with a "putt putt putt" sound: "Xiao Xi, is this your dad? So handsome."

  Jiang Xi curved his mouth: "Yes, it's always been a nag."

  She spoke with disdain in her mouth, but the triumphant look on her face couldn't be hidden.

  "Lili rolled her eyes: "Cut it out, stop showing off in front of me, got it?""

  Lili, she's not from Shanghai, but came to work here from Sichuan. She speaks with a straightforward and refreshing tone like a Sichuan girl: "You can't say, your whole family's looks are really high, no wonder they could give birth to someone as cute as you."

  Jiang Xi mao yao dodged Lili's "Lushan Claw", laughing and standing up straight: "Alright, sister Lili I'll go change my clothes first."

  Put on a bear-print dress, wear cute bear ears, Jiang Xi tidied up her hair tie to ensure it wouldn't fall off easily, winked at the mirror in front of the dressing room, thought today's makeup was perfect, and then came out of the dressing room.

  The coffee shop hadn't officially opened yet, but the kitchen was already bustling with chefs wearing white aprons and hats, moving in an orderly manner. The aroma of milk and honey gradually spread throughout the entire coffee shop, as if it had been awakened.

  The shop assistants were busy arranging flowers and tidying up tables and chairs, everything was bustling with order.

  Jiang Xi took a deep breath and decided to go to the front hall to help out.

  Lili and Tongtong were hiding lazily, their heads gathered in front of the ordering table, looking at something with constant amazement.

  "What are you looking at?"

  Jiang Xi tidied up the artificial flowers on the table.

  "Hey Tongtong, come quick and take a look," she beckoned her over with a wave of her hand. "You're local, see if this is the school uniform for Municipal No. 1 Middle School?"

  Jiang Xi walked over and took a look.

  Lili was watching a video on her Huawei phone, and it was clear that the person who took it was an amateur. The camera was shaking all the time, the picture quality was very poor, people's faces were mosaic, and the sound was a bit off-key. But Jiang Xi still recognized it at a glance, it was a video taken when she had a conflict with Liu Yun a few days ago.

  A familiar voice in the video said, "Then call the police."

  Lili suddenly slapped the table, with such force that the nearby cash register shook: "This girl is so sly!" Tongtong stared at her with wide eyes: "How about it? Is she from your school?"
