Author: Filthy MACHINE TRANSLATION
Ling Jue walked out of her grandmother’s hut. She was eager to go to the back of the mountain to take a look. 2
After she left, her grandmother took out a box and looked at it while on her bed. 2
Inside the box were old photos. Some were of her when she was young, and some were of her and her grandfather.
There was also a photo of their family. There was an eighteen-year-old Xia Qingsong and a sixteen-year-old Xia Qinglian. The two of them were holding hands and smiling. Even one photo could tell the warm family atmosphere.
“Qinglian, if you’re still alive, don’t hurt Xiao Jue anymore.” She touched her daughter who was smiling like a flower in the photo and teared up. “Silly child… You’re really stupid…” 2
…
When Ling Jue walked to the back of the mountain, the sky was already slightly dark. She had planned to go in to take a look, but she saw an iron net at the foot of the mountain. There was also a sign that said, ‘There’s poison on the mountain. The mountain has been sealed.’. 2
On the iron net, there was a sign that said, ‘Climbing is prohibited, bear the consequences.’. 2
Ling Jue did not quite understand. What kind of poison was on this mountain? Was it that powerful?
“Lord Jue! I’ll go in and take a look. Who else can be more poisonous than Lord Tang Yuan?” Tang Yuan was not convinced. It was invincible in Miaojiang. 2
No matter what kind of venomous worm it was, it could only listen to Tang Yuan obediently.
What kind of poison could be cooler than Lord Tang Yuan?
No! It could not take this lying down! 2
It pouted angrily, wishing it could run in and take a look. 2
“We’ll come back tomorrow. It’s dark now. Grandma will be worried.” 2
“Alright.” Tang Yuan was a little unwilling. It looked at the gloomy mountain behind it. Hmph! Tomorrow, it, Tang Yuan, would come to verify the truth. It did not believe that there were more powerful bugs than it! 2
“Hey, which village are you from?!” Just as Ling Jue turned to leave, a boy ran to her from nearby. He was one head shorter than Ling Jue, and he was tanned. 2
“You’re quite fair and tender!” He raised his head to look at Ling Jue and continued to ask, “Which village are you from? Why haven’t I seen you before?” 2
He crossed his arms and looked at Ling Jue with disdain.
Ling Jue glanced at him indifferently. This kid seemed a little familiar.
However, she had forgotten a lot of her memories of staying at her grandmother’s house last time, so she naturally forgot about the person in front of her.
“What’s your name?” Ling Jue frowned slightly. 2
“You’ll definitely recognize me if I tell you my name. My name is Niu Tingxiong!” He was a little proud. He had already defeated all the middle schools nearby, and many of the kids called him Brother Niu. 2
“Oh, I don’t know you.” Ling Jue curled her lips. She remembered now. 2
She had known this kid since she came back. He was the child of Uncle Niu, who lived next door to her grandmother’s house.
She used to be very introverted. In this village, she only knew this kid as a friend of her age. 2
He was very annoying, and he used to hold her hand and say, “Your hand is so slippery. Are you a girl?” 2
“You’re Ling Jue?!” He saw Ling Jue smiling and suddenly remembered his friend. 2
“You’re Ling Jue from Grandma Xia’s house?!” His eyes suddenly lit up, and he wanted to grab his hand. “I’m Xiao Niu. Do you remember me?!” 2
Ling Jue did not let him touch her. She only nodded lightly. “I know now.” 2
“Wow! You really are little brother Ling Jue! How did you grow so tall now?!” He had to stand on his tiptoes to be as tall as Ling Jue, so he had been standing on his tiptoes. 2
“I’m obviously one year older than you. Why are you so tall? That’s impossible,” he kept mumbling, looking a little unhappy. 2
Ling Jue smiled faintly and did not say anything. She listened to his chatter all the way.
“Little brother Ling Jue, what did you do just now? Let me tell you, there are monsters on that mountain, so you can’t go there. Many people in the village have been poisoned, and the cost of treatment is very expensive, so no one dares to go near that mountain.” 2
