In Deer Ear Village, there's a saying that the ghosts of the dead might possess some kind of animal...

Could it be...?

Jiang Qiaoqiao became more and more frightened as she thought about it, until finally, all the color drained from her face.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, she said in a trembling voice, "Bei Xiao, I'm scared..."

Huo Beixiao's heart trembled when he heard those four words.

He instinctively reached out, picked her up, and placed her on the crossbeam in front of him. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Huo Beixiao's tall figure completely enveloped her, and the chilling wind of the graveyard could not reach her. Only then did she feel the fear she had felt earlier slowly fading away.

The tricycle entered Luer Village.

She completely forgot about being afraid; her fear was entirely overshadowed by another emotion, one she couldn't quite tell whether it was anticipation or timidity.

In her previous life, after being found and brought back to the city by the Jiang family, she did return to the city.

But when she returned, her adoptive mother opened the door and saw her. She was first shocked, and then immediately chased her outside.

They told her she wasn't their daughter, and that she should leave immediately and never come back to their house.

The way her adoptive mother chased her away with a carrying pole deeply pierced her heart, and she never went back after that.

After marrying Qin Haiyang, she was so caught up in the inferno of the Qin family that she never returned.

She gave Huo Beixiao directions.

Huo Beixiao quickly parked the tricycle in front of the Yang family's dilapidated fence yard.

Jiang Qiaoqiao stepped forward, mustered her courage, and then knocked on the courtyard gate.
