Chapter 81 Wedding and mourning (12)

When the young man who led the program crew brought them to the entrance of the farm house, the young man who had said he was going to look for Yang Yun happened to come out of the farm house with another young man, smiling.

The young man was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, overalls, and a pair of canvas shoes. If it weren't for the environment and the people around him confirming his identity as a small farm owner, at first glance, you would have thought he was a student from a university town, fashionable and cheerful.

As soon as the young man saw Yang Tu from afar, his face was filled with joy. He took big strides and before he got close, he shouted, "Yang Tu! Hey, it's really you, brother. I heard them say you were here, but I didn't believe it. I thought they were trying to trick me into having a meal again, but I didn't expect it was really you."

"Didn't you say that you would never come to our village again? What are you doing?" The young man raised his hand and patted Yang Tu's arm, then winked at him teasingly with a smile.

Yang Tu snorted and turned to leave: "I sent my friend to your place to play. Now that the person is here, I will leave. Goodbye."

"Hey, hey, don't."

The young man was shocked, and quickly pulled Yang Tu, saying with a smile: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, isn't it okay? Just stay here, don't worry, I will prepare a good meal tonight, and you won't be left out. How long have we not seen each other, it must have been a long time, right? It's not easy for us to meet, shouldn't we have a good chat?"

Persuaded by several young people around him with a smile, Yang Tu stayed reluctantly. But it was not very natural, so he made an excuse that he wanted to help in the kitchen and quickly went into the yard of the farmhouse.

After seeing Yang Tu was left behind, the young man finally had time to entertain the program crew.

"You are the guests who called to reserve a table earlier, right? My name is Yang Yun, and I'm the boss here. You can just call me Xiao Yun."

The young man enthusiastically invited everyone from the program crew to walk into the yard. He not only introduced the village and the surrounding environment to everyone in the program crew, but also asked everyone where they came from. He also showed concern for everyone's fatigue from the journey, and said with a smile that he would prepare a sumptuous meal tonight to welcome everyone.

Originally, all the good mood of the program crew had been ruined by the dead body they encountered on the mountain and the old man who suddenly started swearing in the village. Many people looked listless and low in spirits. Bai Shuang even had red eyes and was in a terrible mood.

But with the enthusiastic introduction of Yang Yun, the small owner of the farm stay, everyone finally became interested. They occasionally asked Yang Yun a few questions and began to look forward to the farm stay schedule for the next four days.

Originally, the director team planned to have the guests arrive at night and go up the mountain and down the stream to prepare their own ingredients for dinner. By taking advantage of the natural limitations of time and weather, the guests felt a sense of urgency, which also added some urgency to the relaxed atmosphere of the show, allowing the audience to be attracted by the ups and downs of the rhythm.

However, Jiacun was delayed for one night, resulting in the guests arriving at the farm house almost noon, and the original plan had to be changed.

"Considering that the guests have just finished climbing the mountain and have exerted a lot of physical energy, there will be no arrangements for lunch. Please feel free to explore the farmhouse and use this time to pack your luggage and rooms. Please come back here on time at 12:30, and the program team will provide lunch."

After Zhang Wubing confirmed the situation with Yang Yun, he smiled and said to all the guests: "I suggest that you eat more for lunch. After lunch, you will need to find ingredients for dinner. Eat whatever you find and cook it in whatever way. Whether you can successfully fill your stomach depends on you."

Hearing the director's words, the originally excited guests suddenly cried out. But after checking the time, they hurried to choose a room and put their luggage away, planning to use the time before lunch to get familiar with the area so that they would not be completely in the dark when looking for ingredients in the afternoon.

So, the guests who were originally a little listless instantly became alert again. After asking Yang Yun where the room was, they rushed over with their luggage in a menacing manner.

The audience in front of the screen, who were originally feeling sorry for the guests who were frightened, suddenly burst into laughter and exclaimed that it was so real.

Yang Yun's farmhouse is located on the edge of the village. All the architectural styles are more inclined to the general aesthetics of vacations. It seems that it was newly built to cater to the aesthetics of tourists. Only one room in the corner is a little shabby, with faded tiles, and looks a bit old.

The farm house covers a large area, covering an entire small field at the back, and is separated from the inside and outside by a high brick and stone wall.

The courtyard is paved with bluestone bricks, and the courtyard is neat and clean. The stream outside is brought in and flows through the center of the front yard. Some rockery and strange rocks are placed next to it, and a small wooden bridge is built. Although it is an imitation style, it is simple and pure, with a leisurely artistic conception of a small bridge and flowing water in the countryside.

The area near the wall in the yard is planted with flowers and vines, and the green climbs all over the red brick wall, which looks lush and green, with a sense of time. There are also many bright red and purple flowers in the flowerbed, crowded together, which looks very lively and makes people feel cheerful.

Not only that, there are also many poultry animals in the yard.

The shiny hen was strolling leisurely in a corner of the yard, making a few "cluck, cluck" sounds from time to time. There were also ducklings among the yellow and tender chicks, squeezing beside them to peck at the rice. Even when squeezed out by the chicks, they were not discouraged and continued to push in with their wings puffed up.

There were a few big dogs lying nearby. When they saw Yang Yun bringing strangers into the yard, they just wagged their tails and did not stand up or show their teeth in protest. It seemed that they were already used to having guests at home.

At a glance, there is a leisurely atmosphere of "leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains".

Both the guests and the staff were attracted by this leisurely and simple beautiful scene and were very happy. Even the shock they had just received was suppressed.

While the staff were busy setting up the live broadcast equipment of the main screen in the yard, the guests were choosing their own rooms, packing their luggage and making their beds with a smile.

Unlike when the guests stayed in Jia Village before, the guest rooms in the farmhouse are not very tall buildings, and their style is also different from the villages that the guests have seen along the way.

All the guest rooms are on the first floor and are arranged in a row.

There is a large floor-to-ceiling window facing the yard, through which you can see the beautiful scenery of the lush flowers and plants in the yard at a glance. In the distance, you can see the beautiful scenery of the fiery red leaves of the surrounding mountains. The view is broad and intoxicating.

At this time, the sun is shining brightly, and the warm light shines through the clean and bright French windows, sprinkled on the wooden floor in the room, exuding a warm and dry smell. Mixed with the fragrance in the room, people will unconsciously relax.

Seeing such an environment, the guests were very satisfied and quickly selected their own rooms. Although there were enough rooms in the farmhouse, the guests were used to sleeping in a room with two people in the past, so this time they continued to sleep in the same room with their previous roommates.

And most importantly, after seeing the hanged corpse on the mountain, the guests all felt creepy. Even though the room and the yard had a warm and cozy view, it still couldn't completely cover up their fear and anxiety. If two people were in a room, there would be someone to accompany them in the room, which made them feel more at ease.

When An Nanyuan opened the curtains, he saw that there seemed to be a crack on the French window, but he didn't care. After all, it was like a homestay, so it was understandable that there were some minor flaws.

“The scenery here is really beautiful.”

The variety show star in the next room opened the French window, walked out of his room, walked along the narrow wooden floor outside the French window to the outside of An Nanyuan's room, and knocked on his glass with a smile: "Let's go to the mountain to take a look?"

An Nanyuan agreed immediately, and curiously pushed open the French window and walked out.

"It's quite convenient. This way you can go in and out directly through the window."

An Nanyuan's face was full of excitement at seeing something new and interesting. With his handsome face, he looked like a young man in high spirits. "Although I love this variety show, when I heard the director say that we were going to a farm stay this time, I was ready to endure hardships. But this place is really different from the village I remembered! The style is completely different from the houses in the village I saw when I first came here. It looks more like a sanatorium hotel I've been to before."

Unlike An Nanyuan who has always lived in the city, the variety show star who comes from the countryside was amused and laughed: "What do you remember? Dust everywhere, chaos and chaos? That was all many years ago. Life in the village is very comfortable now. But..."

The variety show star touched his chin, and said with some confusion and disgust: "To be able to achieve this level, the boss here is really dedicated, and he doesn't seem like a village person. Especially the old man we just met, tsk."

In the split-screen live broadcast, the two didn't say much and just exchanged glances.

The rest of the guests also finished packing up one after another and walked out of their rooms.

Young Master Song Ci was still in a bad mood and went out reluctantly.

Zhao Zhen, who was in the same room with him, was somewhat helpless: "Master, at least it's a live broadcast..."

"I'm here to see what a ghost looks like, not to work."

Song Ci's fair face was puffed up like a cute little pufferfish: "If there's no ghost, I won't go!"

Zhao Zhen quickly put down his backpack and covered Song Ci's mouth, stopping him from talking about ghosts. Then he smiled and said to the split screen: "How can you be like a child, you can find any excuse not to work. Where is the ghost? Didn't you hear what Brother Yan said before, that it's all the eyes that are deceiving because of the change in light. Don't think you can just find an excuse to fool around, everyone has to work, even if you are good-looking."

With his mouth covered, Song Ci glared at Zhao Zhen fiercely: "Wuwu... Wuwu..."

Who said there are no ghosts! How did you get the scar on your leg? Wasn't it because you were bitten by a monster in the mountain temple? And you can ask Zhang Wubing, he has seen a lot of ghosts, I can't lose to him!

However, no matter what Song Ci said, it could only unwillingly turn into vague humming sounds.

Zhao Zhen has been acting for many years and has experienced real fighting and falling, so he has some muscles and strength. There is no way young master Song Ci can break free from him.

Zhao Zhen looked at Song Ci helplessly, wondering if he was really taking care of a child.

But it was precisely because of Song Ci's character of saying what he wanted to say and not being able to hide anything that Zhao Zhen felt very relaxed when he was with him. After all, he started out as a young movie star, and he had seen many people in the crew who smiled on the surface but stabbed in the back. The sinister nature of human nature had made him numb, but Song Ci's innocence made him feel very close to him.

I've only been on this show for a few days, but I already like the atmosphere in the crew so much.

Zhao Zhen looked at the guests who gathered around him with smiles and reached out to poke Song Ci's soft face, and he couldn't help but laugh, feeling a sense of security.

With Mr. Yan and his group of partners who had lived and died together, this was the happiest job he had ever participated in.

Even if this program can't bring him anything, he is willing to work with these people now. Even if it is to keep this warmth and sense of security, he is willing to ignore the danger and go on with the program crew.

What's more, Mr. Yan is here, right?

Zhao Zhen smiled and joined the guests' discussion about the division of labor at dinner.

Because Zhao Zhen handled the situation promptly and explained it smoothly without any problems, the audience really just thought that Song Ci was just throwing a tantrum and didn't think too much about it. Instead, they found the scene warm and interesting.

[Hahahaha what is this little brother's name? He's so cute. He can even find excuses to avoid work. He's exactly like my five-year-old brother.]

[Pfft, when my Zhao Zhen was interviewed by "Film Weekly" last year, he said that his temper was cold and hard, he was not likable, and he just wanted to focus on filming. The slap in the face came too quickly. Who is this person who is laughing so hard that his eyes are almost gone? Hahaha. But to be honest, this is not the first time Zhao Zhen has participated in a variety show. He has filmed many movies and TV series that he thinks have good scripts, but because the themes are not light and do not fit the sinking market, they did not make much splash. For publicity, he has participated in many variety shows. As a fan who is impressed by Zhao Zhen's acting skills, I have also watched those, but to be honest, I feel bad for him after watching them, it's too awkward. But this show won't be like that. Zhao Zhen looks so happy, so good.]

[Zhao Zhen is indeed a good actor, but he didn't have many opportunities before, so he has always been tepid, the drama is popular but he is not. This variety show is also a good opportunity, he is finally noticed by everyone. I noticed him last time in Wild Wolf Peak. When he was chased by those big rats, he was still thinking about his teammates. He was injured and couldn't run anymore, but he asked his teammates to leave him alone. Really, I was so angry at An's nonsense that I cursed at him at home, but he just stunned me. I searched it later and found that I had watched many of his movies. ]

[The insults above should be distinguished. When you insult Anthony, don’t insult An Nanyuan as well! Anthony is the person that Asia Star Company launched to replicate An Nanyuan’s success after seeing An Nanyuan’s popularity. An Nanyuan’s English name is Anthony. Could the company not know this? Disgusting.]

[Ah, so there are so many fans of his career? Well, let me tell you something. Don’t worry about Zhao Zhen. His fans have increased dramatically since he appeared on this show. And because he performed very well on the show, especially the scene where he escaped from Wild Wolf Peak, a famous director noticed it and thought it was very suitable for the new movie he was preparing, so he is contacting Zhao Zhen’s team.]

[Will the director also watch this show? ? Okay, I suddenly feel that our show has a lot of reputation. As a career fan of the show, mom is really relieved. When I first started paying attention to this show, the number of subscriptions for the show was pitiful, and it was even scolded by a big V in variety shows that it would definitely fail. I was almost mad. Now seeing that the show has millions of subscriptions, the real-time discussion on social platforms ranks first, and the video platform ranks second, I am really disappointed, my son is so proud! ]

[This show is really amazing. Have you noticed that, except for Anthony who is asking for trouble, the popularity of other guests on this show has soared. For example, An Nanyuan has been promoted directly from a first-line idol to a top star! And because An Nanyuan has posted many updates saying that he is a fan of Brother Yan, and he checks in on the Yanmai tab every day to upgrade the fan medal level, many Yanmai regard An Nanyuan as their own. Brother Yan is determined not to open a social account, and he also asked Yanmai to go back to work and school and stop chasing stars. The extra energy of the Yanmai is given to An Nanyuan. Even if they are not fans of An Nanyuan, they will help his fan club to complete a task. Now the fans of the two groups are as close as a family, which makes me stunned.]

[How can this show not be magical... I am extremely afraid of ghosts, and after watching this show, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep. Then Brother Yan gave me a science show and told me that the ghosts I had been afraid of for more than 20 years were actually illusions? I was scared to death one moment, and the next moment Brother Yan was explaining scientific concepts. This cycle repeats every day, and it's more exciting than a roller coaster.]

[Holy crap, is this true? The guy in front, did you see the footage of them on the mountain just now? Although the camera was quickly moved away, I was still quick to take a screenshot and saw a blurry figure. It looked like someone was hanging in the woods? Weren't you scared when you saw it? I was scared to death.]

[I saw it too, but my home network was slow and the screen just stopped there, so I could see it much more clearly than you. Oh my god, it was the first time I saw a real death, and I couldn’t exit. I was so scared that I completely forgot how to turn off the screen. I just kept sliding the screen to exit, and ended up facing that scene for more than a minute. I was so scared that I cried. When I came to my senses, I ran to my sister’s room and hugged her to sleep. My sister even comforted me, "Although my sister is timid, I won’t dislike her."... I was touched and angry at the same time. ]

[I knew something must have happened in the woods, after all, the entire production crew had stopped. And I saw that Brother Yan seemed to be talking to the guide boy, with a serious expression. But I didn’t see clearly what was in the woods.]

[Huh? Didn’t you see the apology announcement that the program team just posted during the live broadcast? The one that scrolled past the live broadcast screen. It said that there was an emergency during the live broadcast, and the relevant departments have been contacted to handle it, so everyone should not worry.]

[Since the production team has dealt with it, it’s good. The director looks so stupid that he will not lie to us (bushi). I can finally watch the show with peace of mind, hehe. I am so happy to see Miss Bai Shuang finally smile. When she was scolded by that old man for no reason, I was so angry that I almost smashed my phone. If it weren’t for Brother Yan protecting Miss Bai Shuang, I would have bought a plane ticket and rushed there to beat up that old man. What the hell is this? It depends on the person. Brother Yan is so strong and he dared not say a word when he stood there. Isn’t it just bullying the weak and fearing the strong? ]

[Me too! It was so satisfying when Brother Yan fought back. He spoke out the inner voice of a person like me who always loses in arguments. Every time I have an argument with someone, I can’t say anything to fight back. Afterwards, I repeatedly simulate in my mind how I should have scolded and fought back. I can only comfort myself with a secret satisfaction. But, but! Brother Yan directly fought back the old man and scared him away. It was really a relief, hahaha.]

[This is called convincing people with reason (dog head). If he is not convinced, Brother Yan will convince him with force.]

[I feel sorry for Bai Shuang, but fortunately this farmhouse looks like a nice environment, and Bai Shuang can change her mood. The environment of this room looks really good, and I am tempted. It doesn't look like a farmhouse, but a resort. And looking from the room, the red leaves in the distant mountains and the crisp autumn weather really make people want to take a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, it's so beautiful.]

[Have you seen the main screen? The layout of the yard is really beautiful and amazing. I used to imagine that after saving enough money in the city, I would buy a house in the countryside and live an idyllic life. But after watching this episode, I realized that my imagination was not enough. This farmhouse not only perfectly meets my aesthetic taste, but also far exceeds my imagination. If I really buy a house in the village one day, I will also decorate it in this style.]

[Eh? It's a bit strange, sisters. I was tempted by this scene and wanted to go to this farmhouse with my friends after the production crew left. But I just searched on the hotel and homestay platform and found that this farmhouse has been closed for half a year and no longer accepts tourists? Or did the director know the owner and make an exception?]

[I quickly opened the app to check, but it seems that the place the program group went to is called Jiazifen Village. Sister, the one you are talking about is in Wangzi Village? Did you find the wrong one? These two are not the same.]

The guests didn't have time to pull out their phones to watch the various split-screen comments. Because the director gave them limited time, they had to come back for lunch in an hour, and there were only a few places they could visit in advance, so they were getting together to discuss how to make the most of their time, where to go first, where to go later, and the key was to figure out where to pick up firewood, etc.

"Brother Yan, don't you want to join us?" When An Nanyuan looked up, he saw Yan Shixun standing at the gate of the yard. He immediately waved his arm enthusiastically and invited Yan Shixun.

Yan Shixun slightly turned sideways upon hearing the voice, but just raised his hand and waved it casually, as a response: "You guys play by yourselves."

After rejecting An Nanyuan, Yan Shixun turned around and continued to look up at the surrounding environment.

When he was looking at the map before, he found that Jiazifen Village had a unique geographical location. It was surrounded by mountains, and during the day, the shadow of the entire Moon Mountain Range would be cast over. The front of the village was divided by the Moon Creek, like the black half of a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram.

Chinese people pay attention to Feng Shui, and the best place is the one with good wind and water.

Before building a house, people would ask a Feng Shui master to check whether the Feng Shui is good for living and whether there are any taboos. They believed that if the Feng Shui of a house is not good, it could lead to financial loss or even death.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Feng Shui masters appear mysterious and tall, and are revered by them.

According to the common understanding, a place like Jiazifen Village with mountains and water is also a very good terrain.

When Zhang Wubing was selecting the location for the show, he was very satisfied with the scenery of mountains and rivers near Jiazifen Village. When he introduced it to the guests, he also said that this was a "good place with mountains and rivers."

——But the problem lies in the direction of the mountains and water.

Yan Shixun's serious expression seemed as if he was in deep thought. The slender fingers hanging by his side moved unconsciously a few times, as if he was silently calculating something in his mind.

Jiazifen Village as a whole faces Moon Mountain and backs onto Moon Creek, so you can see the mountain as soon as you open the door, but if you want to go to the creek, you have to go around most of the village.

Moreover, the direction of Moon Creek is like the black and white dividing line in the middle of the Tai Chi diagram, winding and not straight. The convex arc of Moon Creek is just right behind Jiazifen Village.

Looking at the mountain terrain together, Jiazifen Village seems to be sandwiched between Moon Mountain and Moon Creek, while those protruding mountains and water shapes are like scimitars stabbing at Jiazifen Village.

This made Yan Shixun frown.

Mountains are originally wood and are the source of vitality. In the past, having mountains meant having food, and having mountains behind you would give you a sense of security, so it was said that having mountains was good.

Water and wood are born together. Where there is water, there is life. With mountains and water relying on each other, there is no need to worry about food shortage.

Kejiazifen Village is completely trapped in the mountains, and most of the sunlight is blocked by the mountains on all sides, which is equivalent to "yin", and the yang is outside the mountains. Embracing yin and returning to yang, the village cannot retain yang energy, but is instead the best gathering place for yin energy.

Water originally represents wealth, but because of its momentum it changes into a knife and stabs towards Jiazifen Village.

He was attacked from both sides, with no way to escape, and was stabbed in the back.

From good to very bad.

Especially the names of the mountains and rivers here.

Moon Creek, Moon Mountain.

Perhaps the person who first came up with the name just thought that the name fits the shape of the mountains and rivers and didn't think much about it.

However, as the most fundamental link between all things in the world, names have their own influence. Whatever a name is given, it will be similar to that thing.

After the mountain and the river were named "Moon", they were also given a similar feminine attribute to the moon, because the moon is the fundamental source of all feminine forces. And as the yin energy gathered in Jiazifen Village grew, the feminine attributes of Moon Mountain and Moon Creek became stronger and stronger.

Yan Shixun remembered that when they were crossing the mountain, Yang Tu said that a few decades ago, the temperature here was the same as Jia Village, but since Yang Tu could remember, the temperature on this side of the mountain where Jiazifen Village was located has been getting lower and lower. Today, the temperature is several degrees lower than other places, and the leaves even turn red more than a month earlier.

I'm afraid it's because the "yin" gathered in Jiazifen Village is getting stronger.

However, it has reached the level that can affect the weather... Where does such a large amount of negative energy in Jiazifen Village come from?

And it was decades ago, and decades ago again.

Judging from the time clues given by Yang Tu, the time point of the temperature change was after the breakfast shop owner Yang Guang and his wife fled the village and before Yang Tu was born. And what the village party secretary hesitated and was unwilling to say, and Yang Tu didn't know, also happened to be during that period.

Yan Shixun's brows were furrowed, his mind racing without stopping for a moment.

In fact, the simplest way to examine Feng Shui is whether the people living there are comfortable. If people live there comfortably, then it is good Feng Shui, which is beneficial to both the body and the mind. If the Feng Shui is bad, people will feel uncomfortable living there for a long time, which will lead to depression and damage to their physical health.

Because the bulge of Moon Creek faces Jiazifen Village, a large amount of water vapor will rush into the village. During the short time that Yan Shixun stood at the entrance of the farmhouse, still some distance away from Moon Creek, he already felt the cold water mist rushing towards him, and the air around him was heavy and cold.

The villagers of Jiazifen Village have lived in such an environment for a long time, and a lot of moisture must have accumulated in their bodies, which has already reached the point of harming their health. But why did no one notice it? Even though they had invited a master to change the name of the village, they didn't see that there was a problem with the feng shui...

"Why didn't you go visiting with the others?" The young man's cheerful voice came from behind, interrupting Yan Shixun's thoughts.

Yan Shixun turned around and saw the owner of the farm house, Yang Yun, walking towards him with a smile.

Yang Yun stood beside Yan Shixun, raised his hand and pointed to the back of the building not far away, and said with a smile: "If you feel bored, there is a vegetable field in the back and a few fruit trees. You can also go there to pick your favorite fruits. Many guests who come to our place like it very much. They say that you can't buy such sweet and fresh fruits and vegetables in the city. Do you want to try it?"

Yang Yun seemed to be worried that Yan Shixun would feel bored alone, so he introduced him to many popular ways to play in the farm stay. He looked like a simply enthusiastic boss who hoped that all tourists who came here could have a great time.

After a brief silence, Yan Shixun also put on a cold and polite smile: "It can be seen that the boss really knows how to do business. He is able to run such a large farmhouse in such an inconvenient place, and there are many people coming to play. It's really amazing."

Yang Yun laughed loudly and said without any modesty: "Yeah, I also think that I run this farmhouse very well. But you don't know, it's not easy either."

Yan Shixun noticed that Yang Yun had a complex expression when he mentioned Farmhouse Inn, with disgust mixed with a sense of relief, as if Farmhouse Inn brought him a wonderful time that made his loved ones happy and his enemies jealous.

So he raised his eyebrows, changed the question about Jiazifen Village that was about to come to his lips, and began to talk about topics related to farmhouses, starting from how the style of the farmhouses was completely different from those in the village, to how the farmhouses made more money than others in the village. He deliberately induced Yang Yun to slowly talk about the process of running the farmhouse.

"Speaking of this, I have to thank Yang Tu. If he hadn't taken me out of the village to have a look outside, I wouldn't have seen how vast the world outside is."

Yang Yun's face was filled with gratitude towards Yang Tu. "Although it was very difficult to start the farm stay in the beginning, and was looked down upon by other people in the village, to be honest, I was willing to endure hardships and use my brain. After the farm stay went through the initial difficult period, the money earned was much more than what they made by farming every day and then selling it cheaply to outsiders. Now that the farm stay is running, other people are jealous when they see it, but what's the use? I don't care at all. I'd rather be jealous of them to death."

Because Yan Shixun evoked the memories, Yang Yun's originally cheerful and enthusiastic mood was brought back to the past. When he thought of the past, anger and hatred appeared on his face.

"Back then, they bullied my mother and me because we were orphans and widows. The clan leader led the way in occupying my family's land and drove my mother and me to the edge of the village to fend for ourselves. If it weren't for me being a boy, my mother might not even have a bone left. But when they did that, did they ever think that boys would grow up too? No matter how much they told the boy that his father died because his mother was unlucky or that it was his mother's fault, the boy had his own brains and would be able to discern the truth and would feel sorry for his mother."

Yang Yun sneered, "At that time I swore that as long as I was here, I would never let anyone bully my mother. So even if I left the village and was scolded by the clan leader as a heretic, I didn't care. This place is rotten, and the way out is outside the mountain. Later, I really succeeded, and those people's faces changed again. Haha, they can't take a penny from me."

Yan Shixun noticed Yang Yun's dislike for Jiazifen Village, and asked, "Since you hate the village so much, why don't you take your mother and leave here?"

Yang Yun's face, which just now had a refreshed expression after having a great revenge, suddenly went blank because of Yan Shixun's question.

He stood there in a daze for a long time, before sadness revealed in his eyes and he lowered his head weakly.

“I can’t take her away…I can’t take her away.” Yang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly: “After I left the village and came back, my mother had already died. I didn’t even see her for the last time. They told me that my mother died of an acute illness.”

Yang Yun sighed and looked at Yan Shixun with tears in his eyes, but he was still trying to maintain a smile on his face.

But that smile was uglier than crying.

"My mother raised me with great difficulty despite all the troubles from others, but I didn't save her or send him off. I am an unfilial child."

Yang Yun choked up and said, "Because of the clan's rules, married women cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb. My father died early, and I was too young, so there was no way for my mother to be buried smoothly. So I buried my mother in the mountains, fearing that her soul would not leave because she missed me too much and longed for my return, so I stayed here, waiting for her to come back to see me, waiting for her to come to me in her dreams..."

"If I were alone, I could have left the village long ago. But I still have my mother, and I have to wait for her here. I'm afraid she won't be able to find me and will be anxious."

Yang Yun's voice deepened, his throat was so sore that he couldn't utter a word, and his voice was shaking.

Yan Shixun didn't expect to get such an answer.

He was stunned for a moment, sighed, handed the handkerchief he carried with him to Yang Yun, and comforted her: "If your mother saw how successful you are now in your career, she would be pleased."

He felt that since he was the one who brought up Yang Yun's sad memories, he should do the same.

After Yan Shixun stood quietly by his side for a while, Yang Yun barely recovered.

Yang Yun's eyes were red, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, you originally came to the farm to have fun, but you ended up listening to me talk about so many useless things."

"I don't know why, but I suddenly want to talk about these old things. My mother has been gone for many years, why haven't I made any progress at all?"

Yang Yun seemed a little annoyed: "You're crying like a fool."

Of course, Yang Yun didn't know that the reason why he spoke out these things and emotions that were suppressed in his heart was because Yan Shixun deliberately guided him.

Yan Shixun has seen too many people collapse and experience too many moments of ecstasy. With so much experience, he naturally knows how to make people fall into extreme emotions and say what is in their hearts that they would not easily tell others.

After Yang Yun calmed down a little, Yan Shixun asked, "You mentioned the ancestral tomb just now? I have never seen such a custom. Is the ancestral tomb behind the village?"

"no."

Yang Yun raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "The ancestral tomb of the Yang family is in another place. Our village belongs to a branch of the Yang family. Except for those who have made great contributions, the rest of the people will be buried in the ancestral tomb of the branch clan in the village, which is in the valley not far away."

Yan Shixun's heart suddenly sank.

——It was the valley beside the winding mountain road that he felt was unusual.
