The scorching sun was high in the sky when a streak of white light suddenly appeared beside a road. "Boom!" Lin Xin appeared beside a road. Two cars sped past Lin Zheng, leaving him in a cloud of dust. After the dust settled, Lin Zheng's face was covered in dust. Someone stuck his head out of the car and whistled, "Look, look, look! That idiot B, he's wearing ancient clothes and he's come here!"; "Are you actors, hey, idiot B, what are you guys doing?". Lin Zheng was disgusted with this gang. With a glance, he could tell they were rich second generations. They were not in the right. They drove around in a sportscar, but Lin Zheng just turned his head and ignored them. The man in the car felt bored, his car whistle whistled, and he drove away in the dust.

There were quite a lot of vehicles on this road, and from time to time one of them would pass by, but most of them were cargo vehicles. Lin was waving to no one to stop and take him, and after waiting for a while, a long-distance bus arrived with the words "Sha Wan County — Kuitun City" written on it. Lin Zheng had never been to this place before, but it was definitely Xinjiang. Lin was just about to stop the bus when the door opened and the conductor stopped the door to buy a ticket. Lin Zheng then realized that he did not have any yuan on him, nor any card, and the attendant angrily cursed in a local language. Lin Zheng did not understand, but the moment the door closed, the bus drove away. Lin Xin wanted to curse, "What an immortal, isn't he a complete person?" If she sent him to this place, why didn't she send him abroad? If she waited for him to reach home, it might take many years, and he might even forget about using her filial piety.

Three days later, Lin Zheng finally found a home with a phone. He called a long distance and it was his mother who answered the phone. Lin Zheng was so excited that he cried and informed the location. Lin Zheng stayed behind and fought for a long distance without any money to give him. That family let him work for them to repay their debts, and Lin Zheng was extremely frustrated. Five days later, his eldest brother, led by the local police, arrived. At this moment, Lin was being chased up the mountain and was carrying firewood on the mountain path. Upon seeing his elder brother, Lin Zheng burst into tears. Lin Cheng paid the fees and left the area with Lin Zheng. Five days later, Lin Zheng returned home. At this moment, he didn't say anything. Instead, he went straight back to his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Three days later, Lin Zheng bid farewell to his family and went south alone. He returned to the city where he worked, Anhui Hefei, while Lin was working for a state-owned enterprise. His immediate superior was a very good worker, and after listening to Lin Zheng's lecture, he did not blame Lin Zheng for it. When Lin Zheng arrived at his desk, he found that there was a large amount of documents piled on his desk. It took Lin Zheng more than 20 days to finish his work. However, the police came looking for them just as they finished their work. There was quite a lot of people on that train, so how could it be a small matter if all of them disappeared? The local police picked up the police and quickly launched an investigation. None of them were able to find anything along the way.

Afterwards, there were some young people's organizations that had climbed up the mountain, and they had unintentionally come to a beautiful land. They found a tourist car in the woods. It was old and worn, the men called the police, and the local police arrived to find the car that had disappeared more than twenty days ago. There was no one in the car, no one in sight, no one in sight, no signs of a fight. The difference between a tourist car and the place where the police had predicted the accident was a hundred kilometers. The route was the one the tourist clubs used. The driver was also familiar with the route, so why did he deviate so far from it? He ran into a forest and the group finally disappeared. It was a mystery.

Finally, the police expanded the area and found a trace. They found a cell phone, but it was old and had no electricity. After the technical department took care of it, they found out that the phone had only been on the market for less than a year. From the registration number on the phone, they found out that it belonged to a passenger on the train, but from the looks of the phone's corrosion, it was at least three to five years. This became the most difficult issue in the case, and also a mystery.

The police unintentionally brought a lot of trouble to Lin Zheng's life. First, they kept asking questions, and when Lin Zheng finished that bizarre story, the police officers in charge of the case were all dumbfounded. In order to determine if Lin Zheng was lying, the police officers went into the police station seventeen times to interrogate Lin Zheng. In the end, Lin Zheng did not have the means to take out that cloth bag and take out two paper talismans for the police to see. But how could modern people believe that story? Moreover, those were all police officers. Finally, the police drove Lin to the spot where the tourist car had been found. When Lin arrived, he realized that the place was not the same as the place where they had met up. The car was parked in the woods, and the woods were so dense that it was impossible for the car to enter without knocking against a tree. Even Lin Zheng himself was stunned.

Although he found Lin Zheng, there was no clue on the case at all. Finally, Lin Zheng's ancient clothes and the two paper talismans were taken by the police. They were said to be kept as evidence. Lin Zheng was speechless.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed, and the case was still fruitless. Gradually, it calmed down and became a headless case. Another thing was that the families of the missing people were getting quite a bit of compensation. In the meantime, Lin was meeting someone he did not want to meet, and that was An Qi's mother, an old man who was close to sixty years old. Ever since An Qi had disappeared, the old man had been crying every day, and his body was getting worse and worse, he only had An Qi as his only child. He invited the old man to his house as a guest and told him the story of those few days. In the end, he told the old man that Angel would not die, and would still live in that world. The old man was very happy to hear this. He ate some food at Lin Zheng's place, and after saying a few words of thanks, he went back.

Actually, Lin Zheng had been waiting for the police to give him news these two months. He also wanted to hear that the place had been found and attacked by the national army. But there was none, and the case gradually became a mystery that no one would ever look up again.

Another year passed, and even Lin Zheng stopped thinking about what the case was like. The pace of life in the city was too fast, and the busy life caused Lin Zheng to rush back and forth once again. Lin Zheng's only child, Lin Miaomiao, had also grown up. This year, she had attended junior high school, and Lin Zheng had taken her to the city. For the child's future, Lin Zheng had searched around for connections, and finally sent the child to a very famous school. The rest was easy enough, as long as he saved enough money and tutored the children. Half a year ago, Li Xi, his ex-wife, called Miaoco to say that Miaomiao would not contact her again after that. She wanted to live, and was ready to remarry. Her daughter, Lin Miaoko, wept after answering the phone, and she did not want to talk about her mother again in the end. This was something Lin Zheng did not want to see, but it happened. His daughter had grown up and had her own ideas, so Lin Zheng could not interfere too much, but he still persuaded the child. His daughter was very sensible and comforted Lin Zheng. During this period, some well-meaning colleagues also introduced Lin Zheng a few times, but Lin Zheng rejected them one by one. He didn't want to remarry, because his only wish now was to be filial and raise his daughter to adulthood.

After another three years, his daughter Lin Miaomiao could go to high school. Lin Zheng was very busy, and his daughter Lin Miaomiao could enter a high school as she wished. Lin Zheng was very happy as he personally sent his daughter to school. After sending off his daughter, Lin Miaoko, Lin Zheng was no longer busy. The child was not at home, so after finishing work, he ate outside and went home. From the beginning to the end, there was a lonely middle-aged man watching TV in the room.

That day, his elder brother Lin Cheng called, saying that his mother might not be able to take care of her illness. He wanted all of his sisters to go home and discuss what to do. When Lin Zheng arrived at his hometown, his old mother was not at home and had already been sent to the hospital. Lin Cheng took the medical record and introduced it in detail. Lin Cheng's opinion was that his condition was very serious, and his mother did not want to spend any more of the future generations' money and did not want to see treatment again. This was what the old man had said before entering the hospital. In the end, Lin Zheng spent most of the money, spending close to 100,000 yuan to pull his mother back from the gates of hell. After his mother had been discharged from the hospital, her body gradually recovered, and she knew that she was complaining about the situation, which made it difficult for Lin Zheng and Lin Zheng to make things difficult for each other. Lin Zheng bought some cigarettes and wine to treat his big brother, and his mother was there as well, saying that he would often be absent from his mother's side and that his mother would need someone to take care of her. His mother's health had finally returned to its former level, and Lin was returning to the city to continue working hard to earn money.
