Rebirth Stockpiling: The Little Girl Sweeps Through the Apocalypse

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

“On him?”

“Really?”

“No way?”

Many found it hard to believe.

Because this man seemed to have no connection to the theft of the jade pendant.

Seeing everyone’s puzzled expressions, Nie Yizhou curled the corner of his lips.

“Why don’t we just search him? Does anyone know where his tent is?”

“I do!”

One person immediately raised their hand.

“Good, then please lead the way.”

As everyone headed toward his tent, the man’s palms began to sweat.

But he forced himself to stay calm, hoping that Nie Yizhou wouldn’t find where he had hidden the jade pendant.

However, Yun Xiaoxiao started asking questions again.

For example, she asked, “Is it under the bedding or in the bag?”

“Where in the bag?”

“Left side or right side?”

Even though he refused to answer, she somehow managed to pinpoint the exact location where he had hidden the jade pendant.

At that moment, he was filled with regret.

He shouldn’t have hidden the pendant; he should have just thrown it away!

But regret was useless now.

There was no such thing as a pill for regret in this world.

When Nie Yizhou found the jade pendant, everyone was stunned.

It really was with him!

“Is this yours?”

Nie Yizhou handed the pendant to the middle-aged man.

The man recognized it at a glance. “Yes, yes, this is it!”

He grabbed the thief by the collar. “Why did you steal my jade pendant?!”

“You have the nerve to ask me why?” the man snapped angrily.

“You’re the one who humiliated me in public by saying I have body odor!”

The reason was so absurd that it was hard not to laugh.

“That’s why?” The middle-aged man’s lips twitched.

“What else could it be? You made me miserable, so I wanted to make you miserable too!”

“...”

No one had expected this reason.

The middle-aged man realized that his earlier careless remark had hurt someone, so he decided not to press charges for the theft.

He even apologized sincerely.

Seeing his sincerity, the thief also felt ashamed and apologized as well.

The two of them reached a truce.

“But if this pendant is yours, then that means the girl wasn’t lying earlier.”

Someone chimed in.

Everyone then remembered how they had wrongly accused the girl.

“I’m sorry, miss. I misunderstood you.”

The middle-aged man quickly apologized.

The girl wasn’t the type to hold a grudge.

She shook her head. “It’s fine. As long as the truth came out, that’s what matters.”

“But Brother Wang, didn’t you say this pendant was custom-made? That there’s only one like it in the world?”

Someone voiced their confusion.

Both the girl and the middle-aged man fell silent.

They both looked at their pendants.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man turned to the girl with an excited expression.

“Miss, may I ask how old you are?”

The girl was taken aback but answered truthfully, “Nineteen.”

“Nineteen...”

The middle-aged man repeated the number, his voice trembling more and more.

Finally, he couldn’t hold back and asked, “Miss, do you have a small black mole shaped like a heart on your right shoulder?”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After asking, he looked at her with hopeful eyes.

“How do you know that?!”

The girl’s eyes widened in shock.

Logically, there was no way he could have known.

But...

“Miss, I’m your biological father!”

The middle-aged man’s face was filled with excitement, his eyes brimming with joy.

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

What kind of soap opera plot was this?

First, they thought she was a thief, and now it turned into a family reunion?

Even soap operas wouldn’t dare to write something this dramatic!

But that was exactly what happened.

“You know, if you look closely, the two of you do resemble each other a bit.”

“Yeah, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‍especially the eyes and nose. The more I look, the more similar they seem.”

Everyone couldn’t help but observe them closely.

The girl froze for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression.

It was as if she had many questions and grievances.

But in the end, she said nothing and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurried after her.

“Little Ya, don’t go! Your mother and I have been looking for you for over a decade. Now that we’ve finally found you, you...”

“You abandoned me! Why are you looking for me now?!”

The girl stopped in her tracks, clenching her fists, her body trembling slightly.

Her voice was full of pain.

The middle-aged man was stunned, then shook his head desperately.

“No, we didn’t abandon you! How could we ever abandon you?”

His emotions were overwhelming as he frantically explained.

“You were only four years old at the time. We took you out to shop for the New Year.

You were playing with toys in a corner of the store, but when we finished picking out what we needed, we turned around and you were gone.

We were frantic. We searched the entire market but couldn’t find you.

We reported it to the police, and they checked the surveillance footage. All they could tell was that you were taken away by a woman.

But back then, surveillance wasn’t as widespread as it is now.

We tried everything, but we couldn’t find you.

But we never gave up. Your mother and I kept searching for you all these years.

We never had another child.

Your mother always blamed herself, saying she should have kept a closer eye on you.

And because we never heard any news about you, she eventually fell into depression and passed away.”

As he spoke, the man’s eyes reddened.

It seemed he was thinking of his late wife.

He sighed. “Actually, this jade pendant was part of a pair. When we had them made, there were two—one for your mother and one for you.

Your mother said she wanted to have a bond with her daughter, like best friends.

The pendants were meant to be a symbol of that bond.

Earlier, I didn’t even consider that you might be my daughter, which is why I said there was only one pendant.”

The middle-aged man’s words made the girl’s eyes well up with tears.

Her adoptive mother had always told her that her biological parents had abandoned her.

Now, looking back, her adoptive mother had indeed displayed an almost obsessive level of control over her.

She was kind, but it always felt like she was looking at someone else through her.

The memories from her childhood were too distant. She could remember having biological parents, but the details of why she ended up with her adoptive mother were hazy.

Could it be that her adoptive mother was the one who took her away?

In the end, the father and daughter were reunited.

In the post-apocalyptic world, many had lost their loved ones.

To find a family member under such circumstances made everyone around them envious.

They all offered their heartfelt congratulations.

“Little Commander Yun, thank you.”

After everything was settled, as Yun Xiaoxiao was about to leave, the girl hurried over.

“If you really want to thank me, give me your jade pendant,” Yun Xiaoxiao said with a sly smile.
