Chapter 385: Chapter 385 Brother_1

With trembling hands, she gently stroked Little Qinniang’s head, "Qinniang, Little Yan, from now on, you must obediently listen to brother and sister’s words, Mama has to leave."

"Mama, where are you going?"

"Mama is leaving for the skies."

"The skies?" Little Qinniang looked up at the blue sky above her.

"Mama will always be watching over you from the sky, watching my Little Yan grow... up..."

Qinniang’s mother’s body leaned to the ground, and at that moment, you widened your eyes. You immediately scooped up Little Qinniang and handed her over to Wu Qiyi, and said to the two women, "Quickly get away from here, stay more than ten meters away!"

Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu immediately turned and quickly left, while Little Qinniang struggled desperately in Wu Qiyi’s embrace, "Mama! Mama! Mama—"

But her body was indeed too weak, and her overly emotional state caused Little Qinniang’s vision to darken as she fainted.

At the moment of Qinniang’s mother’s passing, her body turned into a mass of pitch-black fog that surged skywards!

Meanwhile, Talisman Paper in your pocket began to fly out as if it cost nothing!

Dozens of Yellow Vermilion Charms flew around the fog as its center. In a stair-like pattern, they rapidly spun, enveloping the fog within them to prevent it from scattering.

With your Sen Luo Eyes now fully open, two Sen Luo Curse Marks spun around while dozens of your talismans glowed with a golden light, rushing into the midst of the fog!

Soon, a golden light began to emanate from within the fog, quickly dispersing it with its radiance.

"Whew—"

You let out a long sigh of relief, grateful that you had made preparations in advance, otherwise, just from that single moment, you might have been fine, but Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu would definitely have been affected.

When a person died, the Resentful Curse energy on her would also dissipate.

You looked at this pitiable woman and sighed softly, "Dust to dust, earth to earth."

An Orange Talisman Paper drifted slowly out of your pocket, and then it settled above the corpse of Qinniang’s mother.

The Sen Luo Curse Mark in your pupils radiated a seven-colored light, the talisman burst with a strong light, and the surrounding earth moved as if alive, covering her body. Within a minute or two, the body of Qinniang’s mother was buried forever under the earth, and a Guihua tree sprouted on the mound.

Turning around, you saw a trace of desolation on the faces of Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu, and you couldn’t help but sigh softly, "Give Qinniang to me. You go ahead to the village and do what needs to be done."

"You’re not coming with us?" asked Wu Qiyi.

"The matter of Qinniang and her mother seems mysterious to me. I need to find someone to understand their situation first."

Xi Yu looked at you, her eyes holding a hint of chill, "They will not tell you. We had inquired about Qinniang and her mother before, but for some reason, everyone was tight-lipped about it."

Moving forward, you took Little Qinniang from Wu Qiyi’s embrace with a touch of pity, gently lifting her dry, yellowed hair.

"Just in terms of extracting information, don’t talk about getting information from the living; even if it’s from the dead, I can make them stand up and talk," you paused, then continued, "You had said before that there seemed to be no issue with Qingfeng Village, but now it appears that Qingfeng Village is the actual root."

"Hm?" Wu Qiyi raised her brows and asked, "Did you find out something?"

"A little bit, but it still needs verification, and since it’s a serious matter, I must proceed with caution," you then looked up at Xi Yu and said abruptly, "You’d better secretly investigate that strong dark man."

"Are you talking about Dashan?" Wu Qiyi apparently had a good impression of Dashan, "He shouldn’t be a problem, should he?"

With a raised eyebrow, you laughed and said, "What do you think?"

You and Wu Qiyi shared an unspoken understanding that others couldn’t comprehend. Sometimes, just a glance was enough for her to grasp the profound meaning you were trying to convey.

Wu Qiyi lowered her eyebrows slightly, frowning, then turned to Xi Yu and said, "Send Dashan’s photo to the Dark Part and have them investigate Dashan. I want all the information on this Dashan before sunset tomorrow."

"Yes."

Once she got serious, Wu Qiyi’s expression became very solemn, and she emanated an aura of superiority that was quite mesmerizing.

"Since you’re not planning on entering the village, aren’t you going to spend the night outside?"

"Yes, of course," you said with a smile, nodding. "Spending the night outside isn’t anything new for us, what’s the difference?"

"The nights in the mountains are tough to endure, even if you can handle it, what about Qinniang?" Wu Qiyi was obviously very concerned about Qinniang.

Xi Yu chimed in at this point, "I remember we still have a tent in our dorm. I’ll have someone send it over in a bit."

"With a tent, it’ll be even better," you replied with a light smile. "Go ahead, you guys head over first. Now that we’re here, we must find and resolve the underlying issues."

Wu Qiyi nodded firmly and said, "No matter what, you have to be careful."

"Mm."

Not long after the two women left, Little Qinniang in your arms woke up.

"Mm... Brother?"

"Awake?" you asked, gently stroking Little Qinniang’s head.

"Brother... Mom, she... she..."

"She’s gone. How about Brother takes care of you in place of Mom from now on?"

"Mom..." The thought of her mother made Little Qinniang cry again.

Gently wiping away her tears with your hand, you said nothing more but had Little Qinniang get down and kneel in front of her mother’s grave.

"Mom, I won’t cry, I won’t cry anymore... I’m not scared, I have Brother," Little Qinniang knelt down, sobbing while whispering softly to herself.

Soon, a simple and honest middle-aged man came over carrying a tent and some food.

He looked at Little Qinniang, who was kneeling on the ground, speaking quietly to a sweet osmanthus tree, and couldn’t help but sigh softly, "This poor child."

"Uncle, do you know about their past?"

The middle-aged man nodded and sighed deeply, "Qingfeng Village isn’t big, just a few hundred people. There can’t be that many secrets, especially about the mother and daughter."

"Could you tell me about it?"

The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and let out another long sigh, "Well, it happened over a decade ago. No one knew where that woman came from. She was found on the riverbank, and I heard she was **** her body when a few women washing clothes saw her and took her back to the village. As soon as the news got out, the village men were all clamoring to see her, saying she was the daughter of the Mountain God."

You had originally thought that Qinniang’s mother was a local, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.

"Doesn’t anyone know her origins?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Forget about the woman’s origins, nobody even knows whose child this little girl is."
