寒风像刀子似的刮在脸上，苏云娘-whose expression was already numb by the cold-startled when someone yelled from behind.

"Hey! What are you looking at?"

She didn't turn back immediately, but quickly adjusted the bundle in her arms and tightened her grip on the worn jade pendant in her pocket. This was the only thing she had now, the only connection to her mother's last words. She couldn't afford to lose it.

Then she slowly turned around, trying to look as indifferent as possible. "Just looking for something to buy," she said, her voice a little shaky.

The man who had spoken, a burly man with a cruel face, sneered and said, "Looking for something to buy? I don't think you have enough money to buy even a piece of ice here."

Before Su Yunniang could react, the man's hand reached out and snatched the bundle from her arms. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw the jade pendant, which had been carefully hidden in a piece of cloth, fall out onto the icy ground.
