Chapter 466 The Back Mountain of the Village
After the live broadcast, Sun Yihe and his mother began to pack up.
At this moment, Sun's father, who had just finished fishing, pushed the door open and saw his wife and daughter still awake so late. He asked curiously, "What are you two busy with?"
Sun Yihe felt a pang of sadness when she saw her father's face. Her father looked very much like her grandmother. Thinking of her grandmother's death and the careless disposal of her body, the girl felt sad and angry, and was about to cry.
"Yihe!" Sun's mother pushed her daughter back to the bedroom from the living room. "I'll take care of the rest. You go to bed first."
The girl was puzzled by her mother's strange behavior. Perhaps she wanted to explain everything to her father in person.
Sun Yihe thought for a moment at the door and finally closed it.
Now only the couple were left in the living room. Sun's mother asked warily, "Can you take half a day off tomorrow?"
"Ask for leave?" The man put down his fishing rod. "What's the matter?"
Father Sun came over and sat next to his wife. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Is something wrong with Yihe? I saw that she didn't look very well just now. Did something upset her?"
"No..." Sun's mother's eyes dodged. "I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow. Can you drive me there?"
When the man heard his wife's words, his expression changed. "Alas... I dreamed of my mother last night. She cried very sadly in the dream and said that I didn't go to visit her."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ma's pupils dilated instantly. Could it be the wronged spirit of her mother-in-law?
"I'll go with you tomorrow and just take a day off." After the man said this, he started to go through the leave application process on his phone.
Mother Sun breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that her husband didn't ask any further questions.
The next morning, Mei Ling'er could smell the scallion aroma of Jiangxiang pancakes and the sweetness of freshly ground soy milk. The originally difficult time of getting up became less painful because of the temptation of food.
She got out of bed quickly, spent 15 minutes washing and putting on makeup, and another 20 minutes eating breakfast.
After arriving at the company, Mei Ling'er made herself a cup of red ginger tea and started her day's work. Around 10 a.m., she received a private message from Sun Yihe.
[Master Ling, my parents and I are already at the village entrance. We'll be at the back mountain in 10 minutes. Will it be convenient for a live stream connection then?]
Mei Linger stood up and said to her colleague next to her, "I'm going to go get some coffee. If the boss asks, just tell him I..."
"Say you're going to the bathroom." Xu Huihui smiled sweetly.
Mei Ling'er smiled slightly and turned to leave.
After arriving at the empty room, Mei Ling'er directly opened the Kuaijiao APP and started live streaming.
Even on weekday mornings, there are many people squatting in Linglingyao's live broadcast room.
After Mei Linger started the live broadcast, the number of viewers instantly increased to 10+
[Great! I don't have classes this morning, otherwise I'd just have to watch the recording.]
Last night, after Master Ling finished his livestream, I lay in bed completely unable to sleep. My mind was full of thoughts about how things were going to develop.
[What a coincidence... I also couldn't sleep last night.]
……
Netizens in the live broadcast room waited for the follow-up and posted barrages of comments.
Mei Ling'er requested a video call with Sun Yihe.
Sun Yihe was climbing a hill with her parents when her phone vibrated loudly, startling her. She quickly pulled her wireless earphones from her bag and put them on, slowing down her pace and whispering, "Master Ling, we'll be there in about three minutes."
[Sister, let’s not rush~]
"We'll be there soon..." Her voice was a little breathless.
Sun's mother, who was in front of her, noticed her daughter's unusual behavior and slowed down to wait for Sun Yihe until they were walking side by side. Sun's mother turned her head and asked softly, "Have you connected with Master Ling?"
"What are you two doing sneaking around back there?"
Sun's father suddenly turned around and questioned her, and both mother and daughter shuddered with fear.
"No..." The granddaughter took out a napkin from her bag, "Nothing. Yihe's head was sweating from exhaustion, so I wiped it with the paper." The woman's hands were randomly scratching Sun Yihe's face, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her head.
Father Sun smiled slightly and said helplessly: "You are the one who needs to wipe the sweat off. Look at your hair, it's all wet."
Hearing her husband's words, the woman hurriedly raised her hands, her palms touching her temples, all sticky with sweat. To hide her guilt, Sun's mother moved her hands from her daughter's face to her own, changing the subject:
"My physical condition is much worse now than before. The last time I came to the back mountain, I couldn't even breathe."
Hearing this, Father Sun stopped, turned around, and held out his hand: "Do you want me to hold your mother's hand?"
"No need, Dad. It's disgusting." Sun Yihe blurted out, "If you want to hold hands, just hold Mom's."
Mother Sun burst out laughing, "Let's go, we'll be there soon!"
When the husband turned around and continued walking, both mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
[Dad Sun is still being kept in the dark. Are they afraid he won't be able to accept it? But if he sees his mother's body directly later, will it cause a lifetime of psychological trauma?]
[It's not a shadow, but more of a regret. My mother died in a place I didn't know...]
【Dad Sun is really pitiful.】
……
When netizens in the live broadcast room saw this, they all started posting comments.
The mother and daughter are now only focused on finding Grandma Sun's location as soon as possible, and are completely unaware of the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room.
"Grandma Sun's position is right under your feet." Mei Ling'er's voice came from the wireless headphones.
"Ah!" Sun Yihe jumped aside in fright, "Really...really?" She asked, looking into Mei Ling'er's eyes.
The picture in the live broadcast room became clearer, and as the camera switched, red soil could be seen.
[The soil is actually red. Isn't it yellow or black?]
My home is in the hilly southern region, where the soil is all red. My mother even uses the mud to pickle salted duck eggs.
[Really? This is my first time seeing red soil, too. I found it so novel and at first I thought it was stained red by Grandma Sun's blood.]
The ground had been trampled down, and from the surface, there was nothing unusual.
Sun Yihe picked up a branch from the ground beside her, scratched it a few times, and suddenly stopped. What if there was something underneath... The girl shuddered and the branch in her hand fell to the ground.
"Why are you so jumpy today?" Dad Sun returned the same way, approached the mother and daughter, and stared at the girl with a puzzled look.
The man's eyes moved to the branches on the ground, and then he looked at the ground where Sun Yihe had just scratched.
"Is there something under the ground?"
"What's underground?" Sun Yihe's uncle suddenly appeared, his eyes shining. "Is there some treasure? I heard from the villagers that many places around our home have been dug up recently. They say tomb robbers got the information."
