Chapter 470 Finally Found the Mountain Village Where Mother Lives
Reading Settings
Knowing that Shu Ying had been searching for her mother recently, the guard didn't dare to delay and rushed over as soon as he received the news.
Shu Ying's eyes lit up, and she almost immediately guessed that the matter might be related to her mother. Without hesitation, she thanked the guard and quickly ran to the door with him.
Zheng Xiuying had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as she saw Shu Ying, she quickly smiled and waved to her.
Before Shu Ying could even get close, she said with a beaming smile, "Yingying, there's news about your mother!"
Upon hearing those words, Shu Ying felt as if her breath and heartbeat had stopped for a second.
Her pupils dilated instantly, and she grabbed Jung Soo-young's hand with surprise, looking at her eagerly.
"Really, Aunt Zheng? Where is my mother now? How did you find her?"
Jung Soo-young smiled and nodded.
"It was our method of using the radio to find people that worked."
"The newspaper received a letter from the post office yesterday, but they receive so many letters every day that no one noticed it until today when they opened the letter and told us the news."
"Your father has already rushed there. The letter gave the address: Baishi Village, Baiyun County, Beijing!"
Shu Ying was also shocked. She never expected that the mother she had been thinking about day and night was actually so close to her.
Before she could say anything more, Shu Ying turned to leave, but then realized something was wrong and quickly turned back to greet the guard at the door.
"Please tell my husband, Xie Zhiyan, that I need to go out for a bit."
Without bothering to explain anything else, he quickly left with Zheng Xiuying.

Meanwhile, Shu Wenyuan and Fu Yunpeng were on their way to Baishi Village.
Throughout the journey, Shu Wenyuan's mood remained unusually calm, and he was unable to find any peace of mind.
No one knew his wife Yang Wan's handwriting better than him.
They had been married and loving for so many years, and had sat together at their desks more than once, reading and taking notes.
Her handwriting, while square and upright, subtly reveals a sense of elegance and resilience; her handwriting has always been powerful.
However, although the handwriting in this letter had the same characteristics, the lines were somewhat weak and trembling, with some breaks and very unstable pen strokes.
The handwriting was clearly not something she wrote in a normal state.
He must have been injured, and seriously so.
It was so bad that he didn't even have enough strength to pick up a pen and write. He had to desperately control his wrist and grip the pen, which is why his handwriting looked like that.
Even just thinking about it caused Shu Wenyuan immense heartache.
He wiped his face hard, feeling heavy-hearted and anxious.
In this state, it was already a stroke of luck that she was able to hear the radio and write a letter.
He could guess that Yang Wan hadn't called directly because she was afraid of revealing her identity, but how much time had passed since the letter arrived...
How is she doing now?
If the injuries are really serious, will the condition of the wounds worsen?
Could it cause fever, coma, or even worse?
Where is she living now? Has she been taken in by a kind person? Does she have enough food and water?
Shu Wenyuan's mind was racing with all sorts of worries, and he wished he could sprout wings and fly to Yang Wan's side immediately.
He was tormented to the brink of collapse by these thoughts of his own.
Fu Yunpeng had never seen Shu Wenyuan like this before, and he was heartbroken watching from the side.
"Don't worry too much. The fact that Comrade Yang Wan wrote a letter shows that she is at least conscious and that someone is helping her, even providing her with paper and pen."
"You must have met a kind person. Don't worry, everything will be alright."
As Shu Wenyuan listened to these words, although he knew that Fu Yunpeng's analysis was correct and that Yang Wan must have met a kind person, he was still quite worried.
Even more than worry, there was self-blame.
It's all his fault!
If he hadn't failed to catch Yang Wan when she fell into the sea, she wouldn't have suffered so much and been found after such a long time.
And even if you encounter kind people, how good can the medical conditions in the village be?
The injury is so severe that he can't even write clearly, and after so many days, we still don't know how his condition is...
Shu Wenyuan felt increasingly guilty and was trapped in a state of anxiety from which he could not extricate himself.
The car sped along and finally arrived at Baishi Village at dusk.
Further ahead was a difficult dirt road, full of potholes, and in some places there were large stones half-embedded in the ground, looking like they would scrape the chassis.
Once the car had driven past, it was difficult to get it out again, so the car had to be forced to find a place to stop.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Shu Wenyuan got out of the car, he noticed another vehicle parked in front of them—a military jeep, which had also just been turned off.
Shu Wenyuan was puzzled for a moment.
In a place like this, there shouldn't be any military jeeps.
As Shu Wenyuan was thinking, he saw the door of the military jeep be pushed open, and then three familiar figures got out of the vehicle.
Xie Zhiyan got out of the driver's seat first, then quickly went around to the back and opened the rear door.
Immediately afterwards, Shu Ying and Zheng Xiuying got out of the car.
Shu Ying and Zheng Xiuying came out of the military compound, intending to take a bus, but found that the bus could not reach Baishi Village at all.
The two discussed it and originally planned to borrow a car from the military. However, when the military heard about this, they were worried about their safety and not only lent them the car but also offered to send them bodyguards.
Shu Ying originally wanted to refuse, but just as she was about to speak, she realized that the leader of the two guards assigned to them by the army was Xie Zhiyan, so she didn't say anything and agreed.
Xie Zhiyan was among them.
The three of them were also in a hurry. Shu Ying was about to walk into the village with her head down when she heard footsteps behind her.
"Yingying!"
Shu Ying was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around, she found that it was her father. She was a little surprised, but she didn't have time to say anything and quickly walked inside together.
Throughout the journey, Shu Ying kept pressing the acupoints on her wrists, trying to calm herself down and prevent her emotions from fluctuating too much.
But for some reason, even pressing the acupoints didn't have much effect this time.
The further Shu Ying walked into the village, the harder it was for her to calm down. It was as if some premonition was constantly tugging at her nerves, making her uncontrollably panicked, her heart pounding wildly, and her temples throbbing.
She usually has this kind of feeling, which is never a good thing...
Shu Ying clutched her chest, silently repeating the words to herself over and over again.
Please, please don't let anything happen. Please, please don't let anything happen. Mom must be safe and sound so she can be reunited with them...
Following the address on the letter, Shu Ying and her group asked their way through the maze of directions before finally figuring out the exact address of Old Lady Yao's house.
