Dong Xiaoxiao wasn't a person who didn't know what was good for herself. Furthermore, she didn't have much courage to rely on her apparatus, the talisman given to her by the Crane Forest, and Ye Hanyi's intuition as a spirit body.
Now that Ye Hanyi had solemnly asked her to leave, she seemed to have no hesitation in not coming up the mountain alone. At the very least, she wouldn't come back until she was fully prepared.
However, before she left, she scouted the surroundings of the mountain and found that the magnetic field to the east of the mountain was especially chaotic. If there was a ghost, it would most likely be there … However, she seemed to remember her mother saying that Uncle Li's body had been found on the western side of the mountain.
It looked like she would have to wait until the next time she went up the mountain to see what was going on. Besides, she had to go up the mountain no matter what.
After all, most of her parents and relatives lived here. If something were to go wrong on the mountain and then spread to the foot of the mountain … The consequences were unthinkable.
On the way back to Dong Xiaoxiao, Ye Hanyi suddenly reminded, "After you go back, you'd better find the crane forest or have your parents and relatives move away from here. I can vaguely sense that the things on this mountain are very dangerous. If we stay here for too long, something might happen …"
Previously, this person was still angered by her treating the Crane Forest to a meal, but now, he wanted her to directly ask the Crane Forest for help after she returned. A man … Dong Xiaoxiao complained in her heart. She turned around and looked at the back of the mountain.
It could make Ye Hanyi so angry that he couldn't wait for her to go to the Crane Forest for help … It seemed that this mountain was much more dangerous than she had imagined.
But she had to think of a way to solve this problem, because she was still a graduate student. Her parents would definitely not leave this place, not to mention convincing her relatives … It was really troublesome and unrealistic, so she didn't have any choice – she had to get rid of the things on the mountain!
There was still some distance to travel before Dong Xiaoxiao calmed herself down and said to Ye Hanyi, "You finally spoke to me again. I thought you would ignore me in the future."
Ye Hanyi had initially wanted to ignore her, but after pausing for a while, he still let out a faint "hmph".
He was truly full of pride!
Dong Xiaoxiao, who was originally in a good mood, was suddenly amused by his behavior. She stopped and walked down the middle of the street.
If others saw her, they would definitely think that there was something wrong with her. Fortunately, there were very few people who passed by on the small mountain paths.
Ye Hanyi looked at Dong Xiaoxiao with a helpless smile and snorted once more. No matter how Dong Xiaoxiao tried to tease him, he didn't say anything else.
When Dong Xiaoxiao returned to the village, she saw her parents waiting for her at the entrance to the house. She hastened her steps and waved to them.
Father Dong and Mother Dong seemed to be extremely excited as they waved their hands towards her.
Dong Xiaoxiao thought that something was wrong and ran over, even asking what was going on.
Mother Dong's eyes were filled with tears. When she saw Dong Xiaoxiao running over to hug her, she patted her hands and said urgently, "Child, you didn't tell us where you went. We thought you went to that mountain!" "Remember, the next time you go out, you must remember to tell us first, otherwise …"
Cough, she really went up the mountain just now …
Dong Xiaoxiao felt extremely guilty as she thought about it. She quickly hugged her mother again and promised her parents in a loud voice, "Dad, mom, don't worry. I'm already an adult, so there won't be any problems. Next time, I'll definitely tell you that I just walked around our village for a bit. It's nothing much, and I'll be back soon …"
She had already decided to wait until she returned to school before coming to the mountain, but it seemed that she had to keep this matter a secret from her parents. At that time, she had to think of a way to go around the village and secretly go up the mountain, otherwise her parents would definitely not agree.
After Mother Dong heard her promise, she let go of Dong Xiaoxiao and took her hand into the house. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" "Come, let's cook. It's getting late, I haven't even cooked yet, you must be hungry …"
Father Dong, who had been standing silently beside the mother and daughter, also entered. Although he didn't say anything, he hadn't moved his eyes from Dong Xiaoxiao.
Dong Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart. She was washing vegetables and cooking in the kitchen with her mother. She was making up the place she had gone to so she could be at ease. Mother Dong nodded from time to time and only showed a smile after a long time.
Ye Hanyi could feel the happy atmosphere of the Dong Clan. Unknowingly, he actually sighed. After sighing, he was also stunned. He then recalled some of the things that happened when he was alive.
His father had always been busy with his career, so he rarely went to the Gu family. His mother also had the same temperament as his father, a strong woman.
Even though he had lived a life of luxury since he was young, he had never experienced such a pure fatherly love from his parents. Therefore, he was a bit envious.
Furthermore, both his parents …
When Ye Hanyi came back to his senses, it was already evening. Suddenly, he heard Dong Xiao calling him.
He thought for a moment, but didn't reply. She didn't seem to mind and started talking to herself …
"Once we go back, we'll immediately go find the Crane Lin for help. When he's free, we'll come back right away. I definitely won't let anything happen to my parents, I definitely must …"
"What on earth is on this mountain?"
"Ye Hanyi, tell me, if I can earn a lot of money, will I be able to make my parents leave this place and lead a new life?"
"Sigh, but I feel that even if I become the richest man in the world, my parents might not be willing to leave here. They are already used to living here, and have said that they want to live here for the rest of their lives …"
"I must make a lot of money in the future and try my best to make their lives better. Only then can I feel at ease. I must repay the favor of raising them …"
"I must take care of the things on that mountain. I must not let anything happen to them …"
As she spoke, her drowsiness gradually invaded her. Her eyes opened and closed, and she finally fell asleep. However, her mouth was still mumbling something.
A child that was spoiled and spoilt since childhood was truly blissful. Although he had never experienced this kind of feeling before, an envious feeling still filled Ye Hanyi's heart. His eyes became obscure, and he finally let out a faint sigh. He decided that he would never get angry at her ever again.
