Rebirth: I Made a Comeback in Showbiz

Chapter 39: Emergency

Editor: Atlas Studios

Yu Su carried the child to the small shop in the village to buy candy. Yu Miao followed behind her the entire time and even said that she would return the money to Yu Su later.

In her opinion, she definitely would not let Yu Su be the only one to show off her kindness. It would be best if she could create the impression that Yu Su had done it for the sake of becoming famous.

Yu Su could tell what she was thinking, so she did not mind. She brought the child to buy candy and hurried home.

After dinner, it started to rain. As time passed, the rain became heavier and heavier, as if a hole had appeared in the sky. It instantly hit the ground, bringing with it some dust.

Yu Su looked at the pouring rain outside the window and felt uneasy. However, she did not think too much about it and went to sleep early.

The next day, the rain continued to fall, accompanied by the occasional thunderstorm.

It was obviously impossible for them to go out and work in such weather. Director Lin did not assign any tasks and let them stay at home. This might be the most leisurely day they had ever had here.

Yu Su sat by the window and looked at the rain outside. Meng Xi was playing the guitar at the side. The tune was very appropriate, as if it was for this rainy day and for the person sitting by the window.

The room in the simple farm house was quiet and comfortable.

“Gather, gather!”

The two of them were enjoying the light at this moment when Director Lin’s voice suddenly sounded in the middle room. Meng Xi put away her guitar in confusion and looked at Yu Su. “Don’t tell me we have to go out to farm in this weather?”

Yu Su was also puzzled. In her previous life, she had not finished watching this variety show in its entirety, so she did not know some details.

The two of them arrived at the house in the middle with doubts. Xiao Han and Ding Chen were already waiting at the side, and all the staff were gathered there.

Yu Su pulled Meng Xi to stand beside Xiao Han and Ding Chen. After waiting for a while, Yu Ruo and Yu Miao’s group finally arrived.

“It’s raining heavily today. I wanted to let you guys rest, but a child disappeared from the village today. The villagers have already started looking for him. The village chief sent a request for help, so we should go and help.”

When Director Lin saw that everyone had arrived, he quickly said with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

“We don’t know much about this place. Just walk around the village and its surroundings. Don’t go deep into the mountains. No one in the village will go into that place. There are many dangers inside, so remember not to go in.” After saying that, he gestured for the staff to distribute rain gear to everyone and photos of the missing child.

Yu Su took the staff member’s phone and could not help but be shocked. The child smiling brightly on it was the little boy from yesterday.

“Why would such a young child go out in such weather?” Xiao Han walked over and took a look. When he saw the child’s age in the photo, he couldn’t help but ask.

“The child’s parents are no longer around, and he and his grandmother depend on each other. This heavy rain came suddenly, and the old lady’s farmland was close to the river. She was worried that the rising water level would flood the farmland, so she went to the edge of the field to raise the border. When she left, she told the child to stay at home. However, when she returned home, the child was not around. The neighbors said that they saw the child holding an umbrella and said that he was going to pick up his grandmother.”

When Yu Su heard this, her heart could not help but ache.

The old and the young relied on each other. The child was so sensible that he would not have gone to play without saying anything. It seemed that he had really encountered danger.

For some reason, she recalled the time when she was four years old. In a crowded park, she was carried away by a strange man. She kept crying, but the louder she cried, the more hatred she felt when the man hit her.

After that, she fell ill. No one was willing to buy her, so the man forced her to beg in all kinds of crowded places. In fact, for the sake of more people’s sympathy, he deliberately created scars on her body until she was saved by her master. Only then did her nightmare-like days end.

Originally, a four-year-old child should not have remembered these things. However, such dark days were deeply ingrained in her mind. She could not forget them no matter what.

She hoped that the boy called Zhuangzhuang was just playing around, or that the rain was too heavy and he was hiding somewhere to avoid danger.

Xiao Han put on his raincoat and saw that Yu Su’s face was pale as she stood there motionless. Hence, he nudged her with his elbow and asked softly, “Are you alright?”
