Chapter 15 The Lion's Mouth



When the villagers heard the news, they panicked. Those who lived closer to the valley quickly moved from the northernmost end of the village to the southernmost end, and some even moved to other villages.

For this reason, within just a few years, the entire Dahei Village moved several miles south.

This deep valley was therefore named the Soul-Calling Valley.

Only Wen Jiuyue's family stayed where they were because her husband did not believe such rumors. Unexpectedly, the man died unexpectedly a few years later.

Although the real cause of death was that he was on his way back from seeing a patient in another village. It was too late and it suddenly started to rain heavily, so he accidentally slipped and fell into a deep ditch and drowned. However, the villagers directly attributed this accident to the evil deeds of the Soul Summoning Valley.

Wen Jiuyue and her husband had no relatives, and they had been married for many years without having any children. The two people who had originally depended on each other suddenly had only one person left. It is conceivable how much of a blow this was to Wen Jiuyue.

The villagers thought that after this happened, Wen Jiuyue would definitely choose to move out of this residence, but they didn't expect that she would stubbornly stay.

What no one knew was that with the death of her husband, Wen Jiuyue's heart was buried with him. She even hoped that the evil spirit of the Soul Summoning Valley would befall her one day and take her to her husband.

Even if the Soul Summoning Valley didn't take her away, she would be reluctant to leave here, because this was the home where she and her husband had lived together for nearly twenty years.

Of course, even if she wanted to move, she didn't have the financial or physical ability to do so.

She had never been afraid since her husband's death, but because of Leng You, she suddenly became timid.

"Grandma Wen, don't be afraid. There are no snake monsters in that valley. On the contrary, it is a treasure land. But this is our secret only and must not be known to anyone else.

Wait for me to sell the treasures I found, and then leave the Leng family. Then I will build you a big house, let you eat good food every day, and wear the most beautiful clothes. "

This is the debt that Leng You has always wanted to make up for to Wen Jiuyue in her past and present lives. She must be filial to this kind and unfortunate woman.

"Youyou, what you mean is... are you really willing to live with Grandma Wen in the future? Are you... really willing to leave that home?" Wen Jiuyue stood up suddenly and looked at Leng You with surprise on her face.

Although Leng You had expressed such a wish on the day when he fell into the ravine and was rescued by Xiang Wentian, Wen Jiuyue always thought that it was just a casual remark made by Leng You after being extremely frightened. Even though it made her feel moved, she did not dare to have too much hope.

Seeing Leng You's serious expression at this moment, she knew that this child had really made a decision. Her heart began to tremble wildly, and even her voice trembled a little.

"Grandma Wen is the person who loves me the most in the world. I want to be with Grandma Wen forever." Leng You didn't dare to express too much. After all, the age of this body was limited.

"Great, great! I...I...

I will go to the Leng family to talk to them at dawn tomorrow. Don't worry, Grandma Wen will definitely take you back and will never let you be beaten or abused by them again.

That’s great… it’s just great!”

Wen Jiuyue was so excited that he was incoherent.

Having been lonely for most of her life, she had no hope for life anymore, but unexpectedly, God suddenly sent down a ray of light for her, giving her a sense of direction again.

"Grandma Wen, don't worry, or they will make things difficult for you. Brother will find a way." Leng You temporarily pushed the matter onto Xiang Wentian.

How could he leave that home so easily? For Leng You, sparing those evil people would be the greatest punishment for himself.

Moreover, given the extremely low character of the Leng family, they will definitely take this opportunity to ask for a huge amount of money from Wen Jiuyue.

This was the case in the previous life. Wen Jiuyue had negotiated with the Leng family several times about the issue of adopting Leng You. The Leng family tried to get Wen Jiuyue to pay a certain price in the beginning, but later they set the price directly - two hundred yuan, not a penny less.

Not to mention two hundred yuan, for Wen Jiuyue, who has trouble even eating, she doesn't even have two yuan. Two hundred yuan is an astronomical figure for her that she cannot afford even if she spends all her money.

In the end, Wen Jiuyue had to give up the adoption of Leng You with great sadness.

This time, Leng You had already made up his mind. Not only did he want to save Wen Jiuyue from the trouble of the two hundred yuan, but he also wanted the Leng family to kneel down and beg Wen Jiuyue to take her away.

"Xiaotian has any good idea?" Obviously, Wen Jiuyue has great trust in Xiang Wentian.

Because her husband was a barefoot doctor, she came into contact with all kinds of people, so she has a certain level of knowledge of people.

In her eyes, this child is really extraordinary. Being born in Pingdu means that he has a vision and knowledge far beyond his peers. The boy is calm, smart, wise, kind, and has a meticulous mind and decisive actions, which is something many adults cannot match.

She concluded that this was a child who would achieve great things in the future.

"Yes." Leng You nodded.

"Okay, let's wait for Xiaotian to get the result. If not, I will go find the Leng family myself." With Wen Jiuyue's understanding of the Leng family's character, she did not doubt Leng You's statement at all.

Xiang Wentian came earlier the next day and cleared the snow on the roof and in the yard first.

After breakfast, he picked up Leng You and left.

"You must be careful!" Wen Jiuyue stood at the door with a conflicted and worried look on her face, and shouted warnings to the two already blurred figures for the umpteenth time.

She originally proposed to go into the valley with the two children, but they both rejected her proposal in unison.

"When do you plan to leave the Leng family?" Xiang Wentian tilted his head slightly so that Leng You on his back could hear his words more clearly.

When Wen Jiuyue saw him early this morning, she asked him about this matter, and only then did she know that Leng You had said that he had a way to solve it.

The fact was, the little guy had never mentioned this to him before.

Xiang Wentian also quickly realized that Leng You must have had a plan in mind.

He was no longer surprised by this.

However, she also promised Wen Jiuyue that she would smoothly adopt Leng You into her name before returning to Pingdu.

"When will brother return to Pingdu?" Leng You suddenly asked.

"The original plan was two months." Xiang Wentian didn't say the rest.

Leng You's special appearance in his life may change this plan.

"What's the plan now?" Leng You already understood what Xiang Wentian meant.

"Maybe three months." This is the maximum time Xiang Wentian can stay. He also has special responsibilities and missions that cannot be changed.

But if he doesn't completely solve Leng You's problem, he won't be able to leave with peace of mind.

"Before my brother returns to Pingdu." Leng You's eyes swept in the direction of the Leng family, and his eyes became dark and cold again.

"I'll help you." Because of the angle, Leng You didn't see that the cold light in Xiang Wentian's pupils was even sharper than the raging snow and wind.

How could he forgive such abuse of a weak and helpless child?
