"Grandma, you haven't been back for a long time?" Lin Qingqing and Tan's mother were making the last dish, and she suddenly asked Tan's mother as if chatting.
Upon hearing this, Tan's mother suddenly stopped flipping the cooking spatula in her hand, and the look she gave Lin Qingqing was mysterious and terrifying.
Just when Lin Qingqing thought that Tan's mother was sick again.
The spatula in Tan's mother's hand moved again. She whispered, "Don't go out to eat later. We'll eat here."
Still favoring boys over girls?
However, this seems normal in backward rural areas?
When Lin Qingqing helped clean, she saw that the Tan family was really poor.
Apart from two bare, broken beds, not even a single cabinet was in order.
Even the iron pot they were using in the kitchen was brought from the Fishpond Farmhouse. Fortunately, Lin Qingqing was stingy, and since she had more space, she wanted to collect everything.
She had previously thought that the furniture had been moved away after Tan's mother stopped living here, but now it seemed that it might have been gone before.
Tan's mother was reluctant to tell Lin Qingqing. Lin Qingqing's eyes gradually turned cold. She asked Tan's mother softly, "Grandma, do you think I should go and see Uncle Tan's wound?"
The spatula in Tan's mother's hand slammed onto the iron pot with a bang, and she looked up at Lin Qingqing in panic.
"It has nothing to do with Tan Zi." Tan's mother stammered.
There was no warmth in Lin Qingqing's eyes as she stared at Tan's mother.
She has always been clear about gratitude and resentment. If you respect me an inch, I will give you a yard.
Otherwise, let's just part ways.
Anyway, she owed Big Ear in her past life, and she owed the old Tan family a few meals, and she had already paid them back! There must be something wrong with this village. If Tan's mother concealed it, she would be fine. Anyway, she was leaving tomorrow.
But Big Ears plans to stay here.
"Your Alzheimer's has healed, right? I gave you some special medicine, so you shouldn't have another attack in the short term."
Lin Qingqing gave Tan's mother another thunderclap.
Tan's mother looked at her in disbelief, surprise written all over her face.
Lin Qingqing looked calm, but her heart was filled with turmoil. She thought about it carefully. Since that day, Tan's mother has never been sick again!
Can Lingquan Water really treat Alzheimer's disease?
That's clearly a neurological disease!
Mother Tan turned around, closed the broken door of the kitchen, and went back to cooking.
She whispered, "I haven't been back for over 20 years. I was sold here over 40 years ago. When Tan Zi grew up, I ran away secretly."
"Later, Tan Zi found me and said that his father had died. I was very happy... We have never been back." Tan's mother spoke calmly. Maybe it had been too long, and the person she hated had died again.
So Tan’s mother is actually only in her sixties or seventies?
You can’t be abducted and sold by others when you are over 40!
Lin Qingqing's face flickered like the fire in the stove, and she felt like she was struck by lightning again! She had always thought that Tan's mother was over 80 years old.
"This place is poor, and wives were all bought in the past. Before they had children, women were locked up in cave dwellings in the inner valley."
"It still exists now?" Lin Qingqing suddenly looked up at Tan's mother with wide eyes. It's 2030, and there are still such things?
"I don't know." Mother Tan shook her head.
Suddenly she laughed again, "They buy wives and give birth to sons in order to continue the family line, so I won't let Tan Zi come back to visit his father's grave! As long as Tan Zi still recognizes me as his mother, I won't burn a single stick of incense for him! Hahaha!"
Mrs. Tan felt happy just thinking about it!
She picked up the rice wine used for cooking, raised her neck and took a big gulp. A smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and the pleasure of revenge overflowed from her!
Lin Qingqing: ...
If you think about it from Tan’s mother’s perspective, it really makes you feel good!
At dinner time, Lin Qingqing and Tan's mother served some dishes and did not go to the main hall outside to eat with the villagers.
Big Ears was a little surprised and thought that Lin Qingqing disliked the villagers' vulgarity.
At the dinner table, after drinking a few ounces of rice wine, the villagers started talking louder, asking around to find out the origins of Big Ears.
Big Ears was not stupid. He avoided the main point and invited them to drink without answering.
Lin Qingqing took a few bites of food, then slipped out of the house while they were all drinking.
Not long after walking, she heard a slight movement behind her. Lin Qingqing suddenly turned around and kicked behind her.
The man fell to the ground before he could react. Before he could even scream, a sharp knife was placed on his neck.
Where did she get the knife? I just saw her with empty hands.
The man was more surprised than frightened. He raised his hands and even had a sincere smile on his face: "Girl, I don't mean any harm. I saw you running out alone and was worried that you were in danger."
Lin Qingqing sized him up coldly. He looked to be in his thirties, of medium height, wearing a cheap brown down jacket with frayed cuffs. He exuded a shrewd air.
"Lead the way, I want to go to the valley!" Since the other party was a smart man, Lin Qingqing didn't waste time talking to him. She put the tip of the knife against his neck and looked at him coldly.
"The col? You... I'll lead the way!" The man was stunned at first. Just as he was about to ask her why she was going to the col, he felt a pain in his neck and felt liquid sliding down his collar. He immediately changed his words.
Lin Qingqing put a knife against his back and asked him to lead the way.
The narrow path winds through the mountains and forests, with pine forests on both sides and the ground covered with fallen pine needles.
The further they went inside, the narrower the road became. Lin Qingqing had a blank expression on her face, but she did not relax her vigilance at all.
Having lived among the dead, she smelled the scent of death, the breath from hell!
Lin Qingqing magnified her five senses to the extreme, capturing any slight movement in the surrounding environment.
"Girl, there's actually nothing in the mountains, just a few acres of dry land. Why are you going there so late at night?"
When we reached halfway up the mountain, the leader in front of us suddenly spoke fearlessly.
Lin Qingqing's heart trembled as she smelled a fishy odor in her nostrils. She instinctively glanced quickly in the direction of the smell and saw two black shadows leaping and running towards her.
At the same time, the man suddenly seemed to disappear from where he was.
Lin Qingqing didn't have time to think too much. She flipped her hand and threw an iron chain into the air. It coiled around the pine tree beside her like a snake, and then her body rose into the air with the iron chain.
Almost in the next second, two giant dogs jumped out of the jungle, baring their teeth and rushing towards where Lin Qingqing was originally.
With two plops, the two big dogs disappeared.
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground seemed to come from far below.
Lin Qingqing jumped down from the tree, put away the chain, and took out a flashlight to shine forward.
The place where the man and two dogs disappeared was an old cave that was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.
