nEarly in the morning, Xie Zhou carried a bag and went to town for a ride to the county.

n

nThe SWAT officers who had sent Xie Zhou back had been bored out of their minds after spending the past few days in town.

n

nSeeing that Xie Zhou had not created any trouble, they prepared to go back.

n

nThey bumped into Xie Zhou, who was in town.

n

nThey saw that the bag in his hand was heavy and still had blood dripping down.

n

nAll of their expressions changed drastically. Two of them stepped forward to grab Xie Zhou while another two snatched the bag from his hand.

n

nWhen they saw what was inside, their expressions froze.

n

n“Why did you bring these?”

n

nThe SWAT officer waved at his partner, then let go of Xie Zhou and handed the bag back to him.

n

n“To exchange for money!”

n

nThis was the prey that Xie Zhou had hunted on the mountain. He was planning to sell it in the county town.

n

nIn the end, Xie Zhou hitchhiked to the county town.

n

nAfter Xie Zhou left, the young SWAT officer asked, “Brother Wen, isn’t it just a prey? Why do you look so pale?”

n

n“That’s no ordinary prey!”

n

nBrother Wen thought about what he had seen in the bag. “There was an entire snow-white wolf inside. Even if the four of us were to attack together, we might not be able to catch it!”

n

nXie Zhou went to a high-end restaurant in the county town.

n

nHe entered from the remote back door.

n

nA few minutes later, an employee of the restaurant sent Xie Zhou out. “If you have good stuff like this in the future, you can come again!”

n

nXie Zhou exchanged a bag of animals for four hundred dollars.

n

nAs he walked along the streets of the county town, the passersby would look at him.

n

nThe clothes he was wearing were still of the same style from ten years ago. The clothes that were most popular back then looked out of place now.

n

nHis sloppy-looking state made everyone even more curious about him.

n

nXie Zhou walked along the street with a numb expression. He saw his current state in a transparent glass.

n

nHe was like a slow-witted person. Only at this moment did he notice the change in himself.

n

nHe was like a ghost that had suddenly barged into this place, an anomaly.

n

nThe street was too noisy.

n

nXie Zhou buried his head in his hands and stumbled towards a remote area.

n

nHe fell and sat down in an empty alley.

n

nHe did not want to let himself walk into the noisy world.

n

nHe did not know why he was released! What else could he do after he was released?

n

nHe wanted to see his parents, but all he saw were two piles of dirt.

n

nHis newlywed wife had also left!

n

nWhen he was in prison, he was young and unconvinced. He’d been beaten and deceived. He’d resisted. He’d fought back…

n

nHe did not see the point in living anymore!

n

n“Wu~ Wu~”

n

nNot far away, the sound of a baby crying came from the bin.

n

nXie Zhou took a glance and walked out.

n

nThis was not uncommon.

n

nThe village’s economy was in decline. Since they could not afford to raise more children, they threw their daughters away.

n

nAfter taking a few steps, Xie Zhou retraced his steps.

n

nHe came to the bin and looked down at the baby girl on the floor.

n

nThe little girl was wrapped in a small blanket. Her small face was exposed and there were still tears on her face.

n

nXie Zhou had never seen such a good-looking child!

n

nA pair of big and pure black eyes stared at Xie Zhou.

n

nShe suddenly smiled at Xie Zhou.

n

nXie Zhou suddenly felt warmth in his heart.

n

nHe bent down and picked up the child.

n

nStep by step, he walked out.

n

nXie Zhou brought the baby girl back to the old house at the end of the village.

n

nLi Cuihua started to gossip again, “Xie Zhou won’t give birth anymore. He picked up a daughter and even treats her like a treasure!”

n

nXie Zhou really took a liking to this little girl.

n

nHe went through the adoption process and even completed the household registration.

n

nHe had a brand new household registration booklet.

n

n“Page one: Xie Zhou.”

n

n“Page two: Xie Chaochao.”
