In the dark cemetery, Ma Linghua resolutely released the demonic bear.
The massive bear's body stood out starkly in the dim environment. It was panting heavily, and its eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.
But driven by Ma Linghua, it had no choice but to take action.
The demonic bear swung its enormous claws, digging with all its might to create a hole leading to the ground.
Dirt flew under its claws, and its claws gradually became bald.
The demon bear felt a pang of sorrow. Looking at its worn-out paws, it sighed helplessly.
However, it did not stop, because it knew the consequences of disobeying Ma Linghua.
"Well done, Little Bear! You're a good match."
Ma Linghua's praise came over the loudspeaker.
The demon bear was speechless upon hearing this. It grumbled inwardly, "Who the hell wants to be on good terms with you? Every time you call me out, it's never for anything good."
But it could only silently endure it and continue to serve Ma Linghua.
Finally, they returned to the ground.
For dozens of meters around, apart from some wildflowers and trees, there was only black soil.
It was quiet and desolate, but Ma Linghua and the demon bear were not afraid.
Ma Linghua knew that their bags were full of food.
In order to avoid starving to death, Ma Linghua made the decisive decision to heat the oil in a wok.
She skillfully took out the cookware and ingredients from the bag, reached into her pocket, and suddenly remembered that the flint was on Hehua. With no other option, she used a lighter to light the fire.
The flames flickered in the wind, crackling and popping.
Ma Linghua focused intently on cooking, without a trace of fear on her face.
The demon bear watched quietly from the side, its eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and exhaustion.
I have no desire to eat peanuts made by my grandmother. It's been so long since I've tasted her food, and I don't even know if it still tastes the same.
Over here, Li Zhongguo frowned deeply, gripping his phone tightly in his hand, his heart filled with a surging tide of worry.
He couldn't resist and dialed that familiar number again, but all he heard was that mechanical voice: "Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service. Please try again later."
This sound had rang in his ears countless times, and now, a year had passed, why was it still out of service?
Li Zhongguo looked anxiously at his son-in-law, Li Fagui, who was wearing a face mask and soaking his feet.
"Fa Gui! Did you call He Hua?"
Li Zhongguo's voice was filled with urgency and anticipation.
Li Fagu slowly raised his head, glanced at Li Zhongguo, and said unhurriedly, "Dad, don't worry, Mom and the others know what they're doing. Lihua is getting medical treatment, so it's best not to disturb them. Besides, what could possibly happen to Mom and the others? Even the stray dogs on the roadside don't dare to bark at them."
As he said this, Li Fagui was full of confidence, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Actually, Li Fagui was also feeling a bit uneasy.
Although he spoke lightly, deep down he was afraid that some random man outside might seduce Hehua.
He imagined all the possible scenarios and became increasingly uneasy.
The lotus flower is so charming, and the outside world is full of temptations.
While comforting Li Zhongguo, he secretly prayed that Hehua would stay true to herself and not be misled by the allure of the outside world.
Although Li Zhongguo felt somewhat relieved after hearing Li Fagu's words, the worry lingered in his heart and could not be dispelled for a long time.
"Ring-dong, ring-dong..." The crisp sound of a cell phone rang in the room, and Li Zhongguo's originally dim eyes instantly lit up.
He quickly picked up his phone and answered the call.
"Hey! Old Li, I've found a new fishing spot, wanna come?"
An excited old man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Li Zhongguo, afraid he wouldn't hear, quickly pressed the speakerphone button.
The old man's voice echoed in the room, full of allure.
"What? A new location! Okay, wait for me, I'm coming."
Li Zhongguo agreed without hesitation, a joyful smile spreading across his face.
After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone and began packing his fishing gear.
His movements were practiced and urgent, as if he were afraid of missing this rare opportunity.
As he packed up, Li Zhongguo was secretly thinking about what kind of catch he would get at the new fishing spot.
Before long, he had everything ready and went out happily.
Watching Li Zhongguo's hurried departure, Li Fagu shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "Ha! Nothing special."
However, he soon remembered his own plan.
He's going out later to attend a technology investment event.
The thought of endless money and the potential huge returns filled him with excitement.
He planned to go and see if he could get a good deal... no... a good investment, investing a small amount of money in some big projects.
Li Fagui fantasized about becoming a successful investor and having wealth roll in, and a peaceful smile appeared on his face.
He began to prepare meticulously, with his assistant selecting suitable clothes for him and tidying his appearance, making full preparations for the upcoming investment activities.
Li Xin did not have an easy time that year.
That Shumali became increasingly neurotic, forcing him to remain on high alert every day.
Li Xin kept a close eye on Shu Mali's every move, fearing that she might do something unpredictable.
His nerves were taut, like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to deal with any potential danger.
When Fang Hang's father came back, he told him that he would never go back to the countryside again.
Seeing his father's angry expression, he didn't dare to ask.
Fang Hang also became very cautious.
Fang Hang looked at his father's angry expression, and although he was full of doubts, he dared not ask a single question.
Fang Hang has never been at peace with his cousin's death; that heavy shadow has always loomed over him.
However, Fang Hang seemed to feel very safe as long as he was with Li Xin.
Li Xin: "……………………"
Brother, stay away from me.
For the past year, he has been unable to get through to his aunt by phone, which has caused him immense anxiety.
That kind of worry and concern lingered in my heart at all times, yet I had no way to dispel it.
But he tried to keep his emotions stable and not let the anxiety affect his life too much.
In these days full of unknowns, even if he saw a ghost, he could remain calm and ignore it.
It was as if those supernatural beings were nothing but illusions in his eyes.
If he encounters someone who is persistent and harassing him, he is even less afraid.
Without saying a word, he took off his pants and urinated on the other person.
His bold actions demonstrated his fearlessness and decisiveness.
Undeterred by fear, he steadfastly walked his own path of self-discipline. Although his concern for his aunt never diminished, he still faced life with unwavering resilience.
