Chapter 1296: Chapter 1297: The Missing Sister

Chen Yin released him and exhaled a long breath.

At that moment, Chiang Xiao couldn’t care less about him, and hurriedly blurted out the first question, "Chen Yin, where’s Brother Xinian?"

"He’s still up in the mountains. The reason I separated from him was that I chased a wild rabbit and got quite far away from him. Right, someone needs to go up the mountain to let him know, otherwise he’ll surely keep searching for me on the mountain." Chen Yin rubbed his forehead, feeling a faint headache coming on.

"I’ll go." Chiang Xiao immediately turned and left the house.

At this time, nobody else could reassure her as much as she could herself. Plus, she would be faster.

She ran quickly and soon arrived at the mountain Meng Xinian had pointed out to her, telling her where she needed to go.

Their place of residence was originally at the foot of the mountain, so one only needed to run upwards to enter the mountainous area.

No sooner had she entered the mountains than she smelled a faint scent of smoke.

Her sense of smell was very sharp now, and there shouldn’t be the odor of tobacco in the forest, so as soon as she picked up this scent, her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Little?" Meng Xinian’s voice came from ahead.

"Brother Xinian, it’s me!"

Chiang Xiao quickly followed the direction of his voice.

Meng Xinian abruptly commanded her, "Stop!"

Chiang Xiao immediately halted.

"There are a lot of beast traps set up here, be careful not to step on them."

Meng Xinian’s voice was coming from behind a few trees not far ahead.

"Chen Yin stepped on one. He’s already been helped down the mountain by those two men who set the traps, and Wang Yi is treating his wound," Chiang Xiao hurriedly explained.

Meng Xinian appeared from behind the trees, holding two wild rabbits and a pheasant.

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

It seemed that there was quite an abundance of game in this area. He had only been up in the mountain for a short time, and already he had caught so much?

"Two men setting beast traps?" Meng Xinian walked towards her while being careful where he stepped, "How bad are Chen Yin’s injuries?"

"Not too serious, I’ve given him some medicine."

Upon hearing that Chiang Xiao had provided medicine, Meng Xinian immediately felt relieved.

Could he tell her that just knowing she had provided the medicine made him feel that Chen Yin’s injury was not a problem anymore?

"Who are those two setting the traps?"

"They seemed like city folks to me." Chiang Xiao recalled the appearance of the two men and once again confirmed, "Right, they definitely aren’t from the mountain village."

She didn’t think those two resembled farmers or hunters from a mountain village.

Meng Xinian frowned, "That makes sense. I just checked these traps and they don’t seem to have been set by experienced hunters. They didn’t place them where wild animals are likely to appear, but instead where people might pass through."

Chiang Xiao was startled.

"They said they were staying at the guesthouse and wanted to hunt for fun. They bought the beast traps from the owner and indeed placed them haphazardly. Should we say it was just Chen Yin’s bad luck?" As she spoke, she recalled the Blue Shirt dropping his wallet and then a photo of a young girl inside the wallet, which Chen Yin saw and lost his composure about, and told him everything.

"Chen Qi?"

Meng Xinian mentioned this name.

"Who is Chen Qi?"

"Chen Yin’s sister. However, she disappeared when she was five years old. At the time, it was believed she had been kidnapped. Chen Yin treasured his sister when they were younger. After she went missing, for several years, he had nightmares almost every night, dreaming about his sister being taken away."

Chiang Xiao had a sudden realization.

"So, the girl in the photo might really resemble his missing sister?"
