"When Mango and Noah along with others outside heard Nathaniel's cry, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Hence, Mango knew that Nanny Zhang had passed away." "She couldn't say that she was sad, but she just felt sorry for Nathaniel." "Mommy, is Granny Zhang gone?" Zion asked as he blinked his eyes slowly. That's right! Mango nodded her head. Zion was especially quiet after that. Nathaniel stayed inside for quite some time before he opened the door and came out. "His eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that he had cried." Are you alright? Mango quickly went forward. I'm fine... Nathaniel held Mango's hand and asked the doctor to send Nanny Zhang's body to the morgue. "Nanny Zhang was a government servant, and there were some formalities to be taken care of. " Mango brought Zion to stay with her in the hotel while Nathaniel went off alone to arrange Nanny Zhang's funeral. "Nanny Z
Zion! Mango shouted at him quickly. Zion turned his head slightly and saw Mango running towards him at a high speed. He was feeling confused. "Mommy, slow down. Or you'll fall." Zion immediately went up to greet her. Mango pulled Zion behind her and looked warily at the jeep in front of her. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" "The opposite party was an extremely young man. When he saw how Mango protected Zion, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he hurriedly explained, ""Don't get me wrong. I'm just here to take a look.""" What are you looking at? This is already a deserted village. What's so good about it? Mango's wariness did not diminish at all. "The man smiled apologetically and said, ""I know this is abandoned, but I just want to come back and have a look. I've heard from my parents when I was a kid that this was their hometown. Now that so many years have passed, I want to come back and check out what the
Mango was very confused. Why couldn't she tell Novalee the truth? "Henry thought for a moment before saying, ""My sister disagreed with me in sending my parents' memorial tablets back here. She said that there was nobody else staying here. It was meaningless to send them back. Moreover, my parents' situation is complicated. My sister insisted them be buried in the Martyr's Cemetery .""" Mango paused for a moment. "When it came to Novalee's family background, she did some digging previously only because of Walter's incident. She only knew that Novalee's parents died in the line of duty. Hence, they should supposedly be titled martyrs then." Shouldn't your parents be considered martyrs? "They should be, but the money for the initial transaction has been lost. Now, there is no conclusion about this matter and they can't be buried in the Martyr's Cemetery. My sister is truly pissed off about this, and she is bound to seek redress for my parent. I know that she
Mango! "As Nathaniel grabbed her hand, both of them fell together." "During the fall, Nathaniel reversed his body and held Mango in his arms. After that, Nathaniel was cushioning her when he landed. " "Mango could only hear a muffled groan, but she wasn't harmed at all. She couldn't help but be worried." "Are you alright, Nathan?" I'm fine. Nathaniel held back the pain and helped Mango up. "This was a cave-like place, but there were open flames inside." "Mango was slightly nervous as she said, ""What kind of place is this? I was clearly walking with you just now. Why did we suddenly fall since this isn't a valley?""" Nathaniel was also a little wary as he shielded Mango behind him. "Follow me. If anything happens later, don't mind me. You can go first." What are you talking about? How can I leave first? "Although Mango was afraid, she would not abandon Nathaniel." "Nathaniel said in a low voice, ""It seems th
What's wrong? Nathaniel frowned slightly. Wasn't the blue nymph grass the same as what Nanny Zhang said? "Aiden looked at Nathaniel, and then at Mango. He asked, ""Which one of you needs blue nymph grass?""" My wife. What's the difference? Nathaniel felt that Aiden seemed to have something to say. Mango also looked at Aiden. She was always on her guard against him who had suddenly appeared. "Aiden pondered for a moment and said, ""Blue nymph grass is our specialty. To be exact, it's a specialty of our village. There are many tombs here, and it is very damp. The grass is likely to grow in the cemetery. However, it'll take some effort for outsiders to find the blue nymph grass. It has great algidity, and only people with elevated body temperatures can use it. Madam, you must think over it carefully. If you don't have the required temperature, consuming blue nymph grass may cause you to be infertile for your entire life.""" "Upon hearing Aiden's w
Are you sure he is dead? "Yes, it was the people from the village who gave Aiden a tombstone. My dad said that his tombstone will not be in our graveyard because he wasn't someone from our village. However, it wouldn't be far from here too, so it must be somewhere nearby. " Mango got extremely suspicious after she heard what Henry said. Can we still find that tombstone? "I don't know. I should be able to do it. However, no one has been in the village for so many years now, so I'm not sure if the tombstone has been covered by withered grass." "Although Henry said so, Mango still decided to go over and take a look." "Thank you, Henry. I'll go take a look first." Zion's voice reached Mango's ears when she was about to walk out. "Mommy, I want to go too." "He rubbed his bleary eyes as he looked at Mango, as if he had just woken up." "Zion, don't go there. It's not a place for kids." I have to protect you. Zion's word
"Mommy, do you want to bust the ghost? I have runes." Zion poked his head out and took out a yellow paper from his small bag. The paper was filled with runes that were written in cinnabar. Mango couldn't help but find it a little funny. She reached her hand out and gently tapped his forehead. "You've gone mad watching TV, haven't you? Where did you get this thing from?" An old lady from the Pickwick Lodge Farm gave it to me. She said it can ward off evil spirits. Zion held his head as he pouted and spoke in an aggrieved manner. Mango and Noah couldn't help but be stunned. The landlady of Pickwick Lodge Farm? Why didn't I recognize that she is a shaman? "Henry smiled and said, ""Mrs. Ye, she's not a shaman. It's almost the Harvest Festival and we have this rule here. We can create some runes and take them with us to keep us safe. It's a kind of psychological comfort to drive out ghosts and evil spirits. It's also some kind of custom."""
How do you know? You're just a kid. How could you know what happened in our village? Aiden became agitated after he heard Henry's words. "Henry was frightened by Aiden. He moved two steps backwards and said, ""I'm also from this village. My parents went to serve in the army a long time ago.""" What? You're actually their child? "Aiden was stunned, and then he struggled to get up." Oh no! Don't tell them! He pounced on Henry like a wild animal. "Henry had never experienced such a thing before, and he was so scared that he kept moving backward." "Mango grabbed Aiden's collar and pulled him back abruptly. Then, she kicked Aiden into the pit with one foot." Please continue to show off if you want to be buried alive. I don't mind repeating what happened just now. "Mango didn't look like she was joking at all, which scared Aiden instantly." Killing people is against the law. At least you still know that murder is illegal
