Su Zimo suddenly woke up from her stupor. She sat up and began to breathe heavily.

She dreamed again, and was awakened.

Why use it again?

It was as though ? Since young, this sort of thing had happened who knows how many times.

And every time she woke up from a dream, she could not remember the scene in the dream.

"Zimo? What's the matter with you? " Hearing Su Zimo's heavy breathing, Ah Lang woke up. He jumped up from the bed, lifted the curtain that separated the inside from the outside, and walked a few steps over to Su Zimo's bed.

"I... "I must be having a nightmare ?" Su Zimo's eyes were still blank. She looked at Ah Lang and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

"It's fine, it's fine now." Ah Lang patted Su Zimo's hand comfortingly.

"Hurry up and go back to sleep, I'm fine." Su Zimo had sent A-Lang back to bed, but she kept her eyes open until dawn. This was the first time she lost sleep.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo had already been living in this house for half a month.

That morning, Su Zimo learned that Thirteen Mother's family was going to Di Yang City to participate in the bazaar that was held once every half month, and they would also bring Su Zimo along to see if they could find Su Zimo's family in Di Yang City.

Although Su Zimo didn't have much hope in finding her family, she had been living at the foot of the mountain ever since she woke up. It was still good to be able to see her in the city.

Thus, after about half an hour of travel, they finally entered Di Yang City.

The monthly bazaar in Di Yang City was still bustling with noise and excitement.

As she listened to the peddlers peddling along the way and watched the extremely diligent performance, Su Zimo only felt a little bit excited at the start, but it didn't take long for her to get tired of it. Thus, she turned around and waved at Ah Lang, then said to Thirteen, "Aunt Thirteen, I'll have Ah Lang take me around."

"Alright, go. Pay attention to your safety." Aunt Thirteen happily nodded and let the two teenagers go out and cause trouble.

Ah Lang nodded and led Su Zimo away.

After escaping from the field of vision of Thirteen's mother and Seventh Uncle, Ah Lang asked in a low voice, "Where do you want to go? Pawnshop? "

In his hands, he was still holding the bundle Su Zimo had stuffed into his arms earlier this morning. Inside the bundle was the jewelry Su Zimo had collected when she came out of the coffin.

"Yes, to Di Yang's biggest pawnshop." Su Zimo nodded as she spoke.

"Actually, you don't have to be them. It's not like we can't raise you."

"I just want everything to end. "It's a pity that it was lost. It's better to just take it." Su Zimo's voice was light, as if she was completely indifferent to the past.

A hint of a smile flashed across Ah Lang's face. "Alright, let's go. We're going to the Treasure Auction House."

There was still a street away from the Treasure Auction House. The pedestrians on the street suddenly became chaotic. Su Zimo was brought away from Ah Lang by this chaotic crowd of people and into the middle of the road.

Behind him, the sound of chaotic horse hooves could be heard, followed by a loud shout, "Get out of the way!" Su Zimo turned around to find two horses galloping towards her. The chaos earlier must have been caused by the people hiding from the horses.

Seeing Su Zimo standing dumbly in the middle of the street, Ah Lang couldn't help but cry out anxiously, "Zimo!" Quick, dodge it! "

Su Zimo wasn't prepared to stand under the horses' hooves and wait for someone to trample on her. Unfortunately, under such a sudden situation, her body was already stiff. And the horse was moving so fast that it was too late for her to run to the side of the road, and the driver showed no sign of slowing down.

A voice suddenly rang in Su Zimo's head, telling her to quickly kneel down. She gritted her teeth as she regained control of her body, then tried to crouch down.

At this moment, a figure flashed by the roadside. He bent down to pick up Su Zimo's frail body, allowing her to ride past the horses, and safely landed on the street.

After the man left Su Zimo, he left in a flash. The one who saved him and the one who was saved did not even see each other's faces. Su Zimo didn't have the time to come back to her senses. That man ? Perhaps he didn't care.

The moment they brushed past each other, they all thought that the other party was just a stranger.

When Su Zimo came back to her senses, Ah Lang was already standing in front of her, sizing her up and checking to see if she was injured.

"I'm fine." Su Zimo waved her hand. Her gaze turned towards the back of the person who was leaving. The man wore a long black robe, he was tall and straight, and he walked calmly.

In her heart, there was an indescribable feeling. Su Zimo looked at the back view of the figure and was deeply puzzled. However, they would still meet again. Su Zimo had this kind of premonition.

"It's good that you're fine. Let's go." Ah Lang didn't dare to let his guard down any longer. He pulled Su Zimo along as they walked towards the Treasure Auction House.

The Treasure Auction House was a three-storey building on the most bustling street in Di Yang City.

At this moment, Su Zimo and Ah Lang were standing in the luxurious hall on the first floor of the Treasure Auction House.

As soon as he entered, he found himself in a modest front hall, where there were only three tables and three chairs. The central table was larger, with two smaller ones on either side, and a mahogany armchair on the inside. There were also six or seven other curtains, which must have been some sort of exquisite place behind them. It was probably prepared for those people who were famous, but had some money on hand, or for those who did have good things on hand.

There was only one person sitting behind the table on the right, and that was the only person in the store on the first floor.

"Shopkeeper." Su Zimo walked to the right side of the table and knocked on it. This startled the middle-aged man who had his head lowered as he said, "I want to be some jewelry."

"I'm the third manager here. Sir, are you going to do it? Or do you want to die?" Third storekeeper lazily opened his mouth as he raised his head to look at the person in front of him. Seeing that it was a boy and a girl, he could not help but be more slow.

"Dead." Su Zimo ignored the scorn of the third storekeeper and replied indifferently.

"Let me take a look at the items first." When business finally arrived, the third shopkeeper could only bear with the disgust in his heart and start looking at things, wanting to send them away as soon as possible.

Su Zimo turned her head to glance at him, and he stepped forward and placed the package on the table.

The moment the Third Manager opened the package, he immediately put away his previous indifferent look.

The bag was full of jewelry, either gold or silver, jade or jade. Jewelry, necklace, bracelet, thumb ring, all of them were of the highest quality.

Third storekeeper carefully picked up one of the jade hairpins. The jade hairpin was completely green without any impurities. Three orchids were carved on top of the hairpin, and the petals were soft and lifelike.

Wait! This was ?

There were orchids, pawns, and jewelry!

The third storekeeper was startled. He raised his head and looked at the two children in front of him and the orchid hairpin in his hand. Could it be that the storekeeper wanted him to look for the two children? He suddenly felt extremely fortunate. Luckily, he didn't directly send the two of them flying out just now. Instead, he had taken a glance at them.

"Why?" Su Zimo looked at the third storekeeper who seemed to be looking at a gold ingot. She couldn't help but feel displeased.

"Ah, nothing, nothing." Third storekeeper smiled along with him, preparing to stabilize the two children first.

"How is it?" Su Zimo raised her chin, using her eyes to signal the jewelry.

"These are all genuine goods, all of them are of the highest quality. As a third storekeeper, I don't think that I will be able to survive such a large transaction. If not, please wait here for a while young lady, I will go and request for the head storekeeper's help. "

"Alright, hurry up."

"Please follow me first." The third storekeeper got up as he spoke and led Su Zimo and Ah Lang to a room at the side.

The third storekeeper loudly called for a manservant and told him to serve tea to Su Zimo and Ah Lang. Then, he hurriedly left for the back hall with Su Zimo's bag and expression. Not long after, he came to the room of the head storekeeper, Ji Duo. He respectfully said, "Head storekeeper, someone has come to become the head storekeeper. They have orchid jewelry!"

"What?" Ji Duo's tone was a bit strange. He had waited for 13 days and yet he still hadn't seen a single person. Why did the High Lord appear today?

Ji Duo opened the door and took the bag from the third storekeeper. After he closed the door, he turned around and placed the bag on the table beside Dugu Jue.

When Dugu Jue heard the third shopkeeper's words, his heart relaxed a little. He didn't get the news he wanted, and now that he had news of the Su family's daughter, it wasn't bad. After all, he had let down the Su family ? He always wanted to do something to make up for it.

"Who was it?" asked Ji Duo.

"It's a boy and a girl, two children. The boy looks about twelve or thirteen, the girl about fifteen or sixteen."

The man opened the bundle as his eyes turned dark. He used his eyes to signal Ming Ye to come over and take a look. Ming Ye's expression instantly turned strange.

These, were actually all the Su Clan's funeral accessories!

"Wear it?" Ming Ye looked at the man and asked.

When the third storekeeper heard this strange voice, he felt it was strange. Seeing that his head storekeeper hadn't made a sound, he replied, "Wearing linen clothes, he looks like a child from a poor family in the countryside."

"Did he wait for today's market to get rid of the children?" "Is there anything special about it?"

"Special... Oh, right, there's still a large red birthmark on the left side of the girl's face. "

"What?!"

Ming Ye could not help but frown and exclaim softly. He turned his head to look at Dugu Jue in disbelief, seeing the doubt in his eyes. Ming Ye then ordered the third shopkeeper, "Go, bring that girl here immediately."

"Could it be her?" Ming Ye looked inquiringly at Dugu Jue, "Master, you're suspicious too, right?"

The man didn't say anything, only remained silent.
