A foul stench wafted over, and the two children covered their mouths and noses tightly through the car window. "It stinks! Mom, let's get out of here!" Xin Xin pouted, her little face scrunched up!

Looking out the car window, Hanhan exclaimed in surprise, "Mom, isn't this the place we came to that night?"

“You’re right.” Leng Fengmei said as she told Xin’s father to stop the car, and then got out first.

Upon seeing this familiar place, the two children were already deathly pale.

Xinxin clung to her mother and wouldn't let go, while Hanhan stayed close by.

Seeing them like this, it would be a lie to say that Leng Fengmei didn't feel sorry for them. But the world has changed, and no one can stay in one place any longer!

Dad took out the two children's backpacks and told them to wear them properly. Since the last time they were in danger, Dad had put some healing crystals in each of their backpacks.

Leng Fengmei took out two small, sharp daggers, looked at her two daughters, and said seriously, "Take these two knives carefully. You must remember that the more dangerous the situation, the more firmly you must hold onto your weapons!"

Seeing the two children nod in agreement, Leng Fengmei finally felt a little relieved.

Leng Fengmei led her family toward the public restroom. The two children were so nervous that they didn't dare to make a sound. Leng Fengmei wanted to tell them not to be afraid, that the mutated beasts wouldn't come out during the day, but then she thought better of it. It would be good for them to have a sense of crisis.

The closer you get, the stronger the stench becomes…

Leng Fengmei loosened her grip on his small hand, looked at the three of them, and whispered, "You wait here, I'll go in and take a look first."

Seeing the three nod, he turned and left!

Leng Fengmei felt that it was unusually quiet here today; there wasn't even the sound of the wind rustling the leaves. She looked around but didn't find anything unusual.

Gripping the machete tightly, I cautiously approached the doorway and found only dried bloodstains and a pile of bones. Because I was mentally prepared and had my family with me, I didn't feel too scared.

However, her reverence for the dead remained deeply ingrained. Leng Fengmei clasped her hands together, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry to bother you. I just wanted to go in and take a look. If there are no more mutated rats, I will definitely let you rest in peace."

After saying that, he stepped into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw a huge hole in the ground. He estimated that a person could crawl in and walk around crouching down.

Leng Fengmei observed for a long time but didn't hear a sound. She picked up a teacup from the ground and threw it into the hole. Apart from the sound of the cup hitting the ground, there was nothing else.

"They moved?" She was puzzled, but more disappointed than anything else. It wasn't just because she wanted to train the children, but also because she wanted to dig up more crystal cores.

"Mom, if you don't come out, Dad is going to come looking for you," Xin Xin said, holding her mother's hand.

Seeing that Leng Fengmei seemed unhappy, Song Chengyang asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"The rats have moved. There's only a skeleton left inside. Go to the car and get the entrenching tool, and also two pairs of gloves."

"What are you going to do?" Song Chengyang couldn't help but ask.

Leng Fengmei said dejectedly, "I made a wish: if there were no mutated rats, I would let her rest in peace!"

Seeing his wife's annoyed expression, Song Chengyang couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You should make a wish to kill all the mutated rats so she can be laid to rest!"

Leng Fengmei...

"Go quickly!"

After saying that, he took his two daughters and walked around looking at things. Since he had promised to give them a proper burial, he had to find them a decent place, even if it wasn't a feng shui treasure. It couldn't be near this public toilet, could it?

Song Chengyang took a shovel and said to Leng Fengmei, "I think this place is quite good. We were surrounded here before. There are some pine trees here. Even if we renovate the park, we can't develop it here."

Leng Fengmei also agreed with Song Chengyang's point. She didn't want to be kind enough to bury someone only to have the developer dig them up. She didn't want anyone haunting her dreams in the middle of the night to settle scores!

So the two of them chose the thickest and largest tree, and then divided the work. Knowing that Song Chengyang was timid, Leng Fengmei took the initiative to lead the two children to the public toilet to carry the remains.

As you approach the house, have the children wait at the door while you go in, pull off the blanket, spread it on the floor, put on gloves, carefully lift the skeleton and place it on the blanket, then cover it with a sheet.

"Hanhan, come in and help Mom carry this!" Just as she finished speaking, Xinxin came in, pulling her sister's hand.

Leng Fengmei just smiled and didn't say anything, thinking to herself, "It seems the children are gradually adapting."

Even from quite a distance, you could hear Song Chengyang digging a hole with great effort!

Hearing this, Leng Fengmei wanted to laugh. Was it really necessary? Although it was winter, what was this difficulty for a superhuman? "I'll do it."

Upon hearing Leng Fengmei's voice, Song Chengyang, panting heavily, said, "Here you go, see if you can dig it out!"

Leng Fengmei picked up the entrenching tool and dug hard with a clanging sound, thinking, "Why is it so hard?" But thankfully, she could still dig it out.

Seeing that Leng Fengmei's face was neither red nor out of breath, Song Chengyang couldn't help but ask again, "Is it quite hard?"

Leng Fengmei glanced at Xin's father, shook her head, and said, "It's not hard at all, it's like cutting into a frozen apple!"

Song Chengyang: ...

Leng Fengmei was about to tease him a bit when she suddenly felt the treetops sway. She looked up at her father and asked, "Did you feel the wind?"

"Huh? I didn't notice!" Song Chengyang was wondering why he couldn't cut it when his wife mentioned it, and he felt a chill run down his spine!

Leng Fengmei was certain that the tree was moving on its own without any wind.

"You all stay away!" After saying that, Leng Fengmei dug even harder.
