Pfft!
She Ling's laughter drifted over, and she said, "After your spot was taken, I went to the Miao village to look for you, but I heard on the way that you died, struck by lightning, so I turned back the way I came—"
"Who said that?"
"Let me finish!" She Ling said, "When I passed through a Miao village, I asked for directions to Heiwu Village. When they heard that I was looking for you, they said that you were dead. You went into the mountains to find herbs for your grandfather, and when it rained heavily, you took shelter under a tree and were struck by lightning and died."
"He died without a complete corpse!"
“That’s what Mu Adian and those aunties said at the time. They also said that your body was carried away by a dog.”
"I was going to collect your body, but they wouldn't tell me where you were and even scared me with bugs. I...I had no choice but to turn back."
Upon hearing this, Mu Achen was so angry that his teeth were grinding.
But he didn't expect that She Ling had come looking for him back then, only to be misled by that dead dog Mu Adian when she passed through Geni Village.
No wonder!
No wonder Mu Achen has been dreaming of becoming rich overnight and receiving lots and lots of money during holidays all these years.
So he really enjoyed holidays because, being poor and destitute, he could dream of being a tycoon.
Unexpectedly, it was She Ling who thought he was dead and was burning paper money for him.
The more Mu Achen thought about it, the angrier he became!
A moment later, after this opening remark, just as Mu Achen had calmed down a bit, She Ling asked:
"Mu Achen, since you're not dead and are still alive and well, why don't you come looking for me?"
"Do you know that we both got into trouble back then? I thought about it, that we could team up and take down that bastard surnamed Zhang, but then the bad news came, and I—"
Ah Chen interrupted She Ling, saying, "What do you mean by bad news? That was fabricated by that bastard Mu Adian."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I should have asked someone else back then, but they spoke so convincingly that I believed them because I thought he was your cousin."
"Mu Achen, how are you doing these days? I heard from my mother that you beat up that guy surnamed Zhang. How come you've gotten so bold?"
In She Ling's heart, Mu Achen will always remain the same as before, and his personality will naturally remain the same as before.
But Ah Chen didn't dwell on the matter; instead, he asked where She Ling was.
He told She Ling that Zhang Xiang had already confessed, and that if she had time, she should come back and see what happened to Zhang Xiang.
Upon hearing this, She Ling felt quite emotional. She had been forced to leave because of this incident back then, and she never expected that Mu Achen would avenge her now.
"I was originally planning to wait until I got stronger before killing that beast, but you avenged me first, so of course I had to come back and see what happened to that bastard!"
"I'll go back as soon as I've arranged my time! By the way, Mu Achen, have you found the girl you like yet?"
That girl?
Achen glanced sideways at Amo, who was just coming over with dragon fruit. She Ling knew that he had a crush on a girl back then, but she didn't know that the girl Achen had a crush on was the Miao Holy Maiden.
But now that She Ling is asking this, does it mean that her mother didn't tell her that she was already married?
"Found her! I married her?"
"Huh?? You...you're married?"
On the other end of the phone, She Ling seemed to be breathing a little rapidly.
It took him a while to say, "That's wonderful! To be able to marry the person you love?"
"Mu Achen, you're so lucky!"
…
This phone call lasted for half an hour.
After all, we hadn't been in touch for many years, and we were classmates and friends when we were young.
Moreover, She Ling thought Mu Achen was already dead, so when she suddenly received the phone call, the feeling of having something lost and then found was unimaginable. Naturally, they had a lot to talk about.
But now that Achen is married, there are some things Sheling has kept in her heart that she may never have the chance to say in this lifetime.
After hanging up the phone, Ah Chen ate dragon fruit and sighed, "Time is a cruel mistress. In the blink of an eye, that girl from back then has grown up. Although her manner of speaking is still the same, she seems to have become much more mature."
"People mature through trials and tribulations! How is the other person feeling?" Amo asked.
"It feels good! She said she wanted to come back and see the ending of that beast, but I feel she still has a knot in her heart. After all, she was a very smart girl with excellent grades back then. It's a pity."
Although Ah Chen talked with She Ling for a long time, he never asked about her current situation.
Some things don't need to be asked.
"By the way, Ah Chen, the Shanghai side just replied that they found a few tea masters we need, and their information was brought here overnight. After we review it, we'll decide who to choose, and then they'll bring them over."
"You can arrange it."
After the conversation ended, Ah Chen chatted with Ah Mo about some trivial matters before pulling Ah Mo back into the house!
Two days later--
Ah Chen and the Miao men finished installing all the audio equipment and microphones, and were testing the sound effects when Gou Dan from Hei Wu Village rushed in, all excited.
Hahaha--
"Brother Chen, that's hilarious!"
"Let me tell you! A Zhuang's family got into a fight. Oh, it wasn't exactly a fight, but A Zhuang got beaten up by his father."
Ah Zhuang got beaten up by his father?
While busy with his work, Ah Chen asked, "Uncle is such an honest man, how could he hit his son, Mu Azhuang? Don't spread rumors!"
"No rumors!"
Gou Dan looked determined and said, "They started arguing yesterday morning, and today they even started hitting each other."
"Why?"
"What does this have to do with your Que Dong Village?"
