I Was Kidnapped Back to My Hometown Village

share time: 2026-01-22 06:09:23

Su Xiao, an internet planner in Shenzhen, was "kidnapped" after working overtime until midnight. When she woke up, she found herself in Qingzhu Village—the hometown she left at the age of three, only alive in her mother’s fragmented memories. What’s even more absurd is that the "kidnapper" is A Lin, her primary school deskmate—the thin boy who used to squat on the playground picking up her exercise books, now the first secretary of the village. It turns out A Lin knew Su Xiao had been searching for her grandmother, and that the village’s hundred-year-old bamboo weaving craft was on the brink of extinction. So he came up with this stupid "kidnapping" plan: Grandma was still waiting for her in the old bamboo house, with osmanthus candy hidden for ten years wrapped in old newspapers; and the village’s bamboo weaving workshop needed her marketing ideas to survive. While scolding A Lin for "breaking the law," Su Xiao was touched by Grandma’s hot porridge and the bamboo dragonflies held by the village kids. She even found a love letter tucked in a bamboo-weaved notebook in A Lin’s drawer—turns out the "kidnapping" was his courage saved up for three years, just wanting to bring back the "lost little girl" to the old locust tree at the village entrance.
