Song Bin picked up his phone; the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
He pressed the answer button as if possessed.
"Hello……"
"Brother Bin, is that you, Brother Bin..."
The voice coming from the other end of the phone made Song Bin's eyes widen and he sat up straight.
That sound is...
Upon hearing Song Bin's voice, Er Ya burst into tears.
"Brother Bin, please save me, I'm so scared... Waaah..."
"Xiao Xi?"
This title made Er Ya's heart, which had been in her throat, immediately settle back into her stomach.
That wasn't a dream, and she wasn't crazy; those things really happened.
"It's me, Brother Bin, it's me, Xiao Xi, boohoo... come quick, I'm so scared..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then someone asked, "What happened?"
Er Ya rambled on about her situation, thinking that Song Bin would feel sorry for her, be anxious, and come to her rescue immediately.
However, there was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a faint remark.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Er Ya was stunned for a moment, then looked incredulous and cried out:
"Brother Bin, what are you talking about? I'm your wife, and we have our son. Have you forgotten all that?"
Song Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Those are all in the past, you should forget about them too."
"No, husband, don't abandon me, save me, I..."
Before Er Ya could finish speaking, Song Bin hung up and blocked her immediately.
Song Bin gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He can barely take care of himself, how can he have time to care about her?
son?
It's impossible for it to happen again.
However, the next second, Song Bin suddenly froze.
Something that hadn't reacted for over a month suddenly and shakily raised its head.
Song Bin: "..."
Song Bin was overjoyed. The magic oil had finally worked!
But that thing only lasted a few seconds before it went limp again.
Then, it wilted, then wilted again...
Repeatedly, endlessly.
Song Bin almost went crazy.
Is this some kind of military training?
He's told the truth.
On the large bed in the hotel where the film crew was staying, Boss Qi sat with his legs crossed, eating a fruit platter, muttering to himself between bites:
"At ease! Attention! At ease! Attention!"
On the other side, Er Ya couldn't get through to Song Bin on the phone no matter what she tried. She collapsed to the ground, covered her mouth, and cried in despair.
She could understand why Zhou Qiong didn't want her.
But why doesn't Song Bin want her either?
What did she do to wrong Song Bin?
After crying for a while, Er Ya wiped away her tears fiercely.
In any case, she must leave this place and go to the city, where there will be plenty of opportunities to make a name for herself.
Who can help her now?
Er Ya remembered someone.
The person she drove to jump off a building in her past life.
Fortunately, Er Ya still remembered her phone number; she had sent many anonymous messages in her past life.
She confidently dialed the number, thinking to herself: Aren't you feeling guilty towards me? Didn't you say you would make it up to me?
This time, I'll give you that chance.
The call was quickly connected, and a familiar, gentle female voice answered.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?"
"I am your daughter, the daughter you gave birth to when you came to teach in the mountains. Do you remember me?"
Er Ya was filled with both hatred and agitation. Before the woman could speak, she rattled off a string of grievances, finally saying:
"If you take me away, I will forgive your selfish behavior of abandoning me and going to live a good life on your own."
The woman said in surprise, "You've dialed the wrong number. I've never taught in rural areas, and I only have one daughter, who's right here with me."
Er Ya froze.
Then she heard a sweet girl's voice from the other end: "Mom, who called you?"
The woman said gently, "Mom doesn't recognize it; it must be a mistake."
The girl said again, "Then please hurry up, my beautiful lady. My dad and I are all ready and waiting for you. We have a surprise for you later."
The woman laughed and said, "Mom is over forty, why would she celebrate her birthday?"
The man with a hearty voice said, "What do you mean, over forty? I think your mother is only twenty at most. What do you say, daughter?"
"There's no twenty, she's clearly only eighteen. This isn't my mom, it's my sister."
"Hey beautiful lady, hurry up! We're going to karaoke after dinner. Anyway, it's the weekend tomorrow, let's party all night tonight."
"Haha, okay, we'll do whatever our little princess says."
The woman kept laughing at the father and daughter's antics, and it took her a while to realize that the phone call was still going on.
She thought the other side knew they had dialed the wrong number and would have already been killed.
"Miss, you've dialed the wrong number. I'm not the person you're looking for."
After hanging up the phone, the woman looked towards the door, where a tall, cheerful man and an innocent, adorable girl were waiting for her expectantly.
She suddenly felt very happy, as if something dark had silently disappeared.
The happy family of three chatted and laughed as they went out the door.
No one noticed that a red light flew out from the back of the woman's head, taking away the filthy, despairing darkness.
Jealousy was frantically gnawing at Er Ya's heart; she was so angry that she was crying and trembling.
That woman actually forgot about her?
She left herself to suffer in a poor mountain village, married someone with a clear conscience, and even had another daughter.
They were both her children, so why did she treat herself like trash and throw the other one away like a treasure?
She doesn't deserve to be a mother.
They don't deserve to live.
Jealousy twisted Er Ya's face, and as she cried, she suddenly laughed maliciously.
In her past life, after that woman jumped off the building, her dear sister must have been heartbroken.
Once she gets to the city, she must find her sister and ask her about it.
Hearing the barking of dogs coming from the village in the distance, Er Ya put away her phone and wiped away her tears.
No one helped her, so she walked out on her own.
If she took the main road, she would be caught up quickly after daybreak; luckily, she knew the mountain paths.
Er Ya gritted her teeth and plunged into the mountains.
Qi An watched the "live stream" and laughed, "Wow, a real-life version of wilderness survival. I'd better tell the little creatures in the mountains to be careful, lest they kill me."
Just as dawn broke, the old woman discovered that Er Ya was missing.
Her scream woke up her son and grandson, and Er Ya's father discovered that his cell phone and money were also missing from his coat.
The old woman slapped her thigh and cursed, "That jinx must have run away! Quickly call someone to chase after him, or Da Bao's wife will be gone!"
Fourteen-year-old Yang Dabao, still half asleep, rubbed his eyes and said, "Find her, break her legs, then she won't be able to run away."
Er Ya's father, his face ashen, limped out.
"Da Bao is right. She's just like her runaway bitch mother. I'm going to break her legs this time."
Er Ya was exhausted and hungry. While picking wild fruit, she slipped and rolled down the slope.
She screamed in agony as she was hit by rocks on the slope, and rolled all the way to the bottom.
Before I could even get up, I felt a chill on my leg, followed by a sharp pain.
A flower snake, about the thickness of a thumb, coiled around her calf and bit her.
Er Ya was terrified of snakes and was scared out of her wits. She screamed and pulled the snake away with her hands, only to be bitten on the hand.
Blood oozed from the small hole, and Er Ya cried out in pain.
She dared not stay where she was, so she found a tree branch to use as a crutch and limped forward.
In just one day, Er Ya was bitten by snakes three times, fell into pits four times, and was bitten countless times by various insects and bees.
She didn't know which insect was poisonous, but her face swelled up like a pig's head, and the wounds on her body had begun to become inflamed and fester.
It will take at least three days to get out of this mountain.
The daytime is alright, but the nights in the mountains are pitch black and terrifying.
The lush trees resembled layers of ghostly shadows, and the cries of some unknown animal added to the atmosphere, making it feel like hell.
Not to mention that Er Ya herself had something to hide.
She was terrified. Forgetting about being exposed, she shakily turned on her phone's built-in flashlight, and then…
She "saw" Zhou Qiong covered in blood, and her biological mother, who was smashed to pieces.
A scream that sounded inhuman echoed deep into the mountains, sending chills down one's spine.
"Ahhh..."
