Chapter 530: Chapter 501: The Marvelous Place, A Healing Sanctuary_1

Supernatural matters require supernatural solutions.

Huo Yingjie listened to He Tiantian’s conversation, appearing to understand yet not, his gaze constantly shifting.

However, he was looking down, and neither He Tiantian nor He Jingyu saw it.

After dinner that evening, He Jingyu sat on the Huo Family’s sofa, sipping tea and chatting.

"By the way, Old He, what were you about to say on the train earlier? You seemed so secretive, as if the walls had ears," Huo Zhekun said, knowing that He Jingyu was always honest and straightforward, not the double-tongued type.

"I was just about to tell you all," He Jingyu put down the cup in his hand, "It’s like this, behind the mountains of Qijia Village..."

He Jingyu recounted everything he had seen in Qijia Village, as well as the village’s harmonious weather and the recent surge in newborns.

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang listened, dumbstruck.

"Old He, this... this is superstition!" Huo Zhekun stammered, the world still contained such matters, completely contrary to their beliefs!

"Yes, if it were anyone else, I would definitely report them," Jiang Lifang said, "You’re a scientific worker, how could you believe this?"

Seeing that the couple didn’t believe a word, He Jingyu said with a wry smile, "Before I went to Qijia Village, I was just like you, not believing it at all. But seeing is believing! What I saw with my own eyes, I cannot disbelieve. Tiantian was there at the time, too, you can ask Tiantian."

He Tiantian nodded vigorously, "Uncle Huo, Aunt Jiang, my dad and I are not liars, and we have no reason to invent such a story to deceive you!"

Huo Zhekun and Jiang Lifang looked at each other after hearing this.

"In the hospital, Doctor Zhang had no solution. Now that we’re back in Nan City, let’s see if Yingjie can recover his former memories. If possible, that would be great. If it’s not possible, conventional methods have been ineffective, why not try something else? Besides, with my presence and Shuping’s in Qijia Village, Yingjie won’t be mistreated," He Jingyu continued to persuade, adopting the attitude of a drowning man clutching at a straw, which still seemed better than doing nothing at all!

"This..." Huo Zhekun hesitated.

Indeed, they may not trust others, but they could trust the He family!

Moreover, there was no reason for Old He and Tiantian to lie and deceive them!

"Big Brother Huo, sister-in-law, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t speak of it. But I’ve watched Yingjie grow up. Look, his IQ is still high, it’s just that his EQ has dropped a lot since before, and he doesn’t understand many social conventions. Isn’t this exactly what they mean when they say someone has lost their ’soul’? The three souls and seven spirits, maybe one of them is missing, resulting in his current condition?"

At that moment, Huo Zhekun was half-convinced.

It was Jiang Lifang who, at this time, was more decisive, "Fine, Jingyu’s right. If Yingjie doesn’t improve here in Nan City, we’ll send him to Qijia Village to recuperate. We can’t give up on treatment until Yingjie is healthy."

Seeing his wife speak this way, Huo Zhekun also nodded, "Alright, let’s treat it as a retreat for recuperation. With Jingyu and Shuping there, we can be at ease."

He Jingyu, seeing the couple’s agreement, nodded, "We have to try. I always felt something off about Qijia Village. Aside from the bizarre occurrences, the peach trees I planted there are doing much better than I expected. The Peaches of Immortality offered to the Queen Mother of the West couldn’t taste better than these. After I return tomorrow, I’ll probably start harvesting peaches. I’ll send some over for you to taste this year’s fresh peaches."

"Oh my, just talking about it reminds me of the peaches you sent us last year. I have never tasted peaches as delicious as those in my life," Jiang Lifang said; they tasted so good she almost swallowed her tongue.

"Yes, we didn’t expect them to taste so good," He Jingyu said with a smile, "So I think it’s related to Qijia Village’s location. Also, after living there for a few years, my health has improved a lot, and so has the quality of my sleep!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lifang exclaimed, "Your sleep wasn’t good before, and it really improved there?"

"Yes, now I sleep soundly through the night," He Jingyu smiled, "It’s a sanatorium paradise, but because it’s very remote, people from outside don’t know about its goodness. If I hadn’t gone there, I wouldn’t have known myself."

"Heh, that’s great," Huo Zhekun said, "No wonder now you’re reluctant to come back."

"I’m indeed somewhat reluctant. People there are simple and honest, and Shuping and I are content with the simple life, we prefer it there. Besides, there I can continue my peach research, managing both life and work." He Jingyu was quite satisfied with his current life.

If Huo Yingjie could recover sooner and his daughter could have her beloved, that would be even more comforting.

He Jingyu and He Tiantian went home to rest.

Of course, every day it was He Tiantian who first soothed Huo Yingjie to sleep before she left.

Once home, He Tiantian, feeling guilty towards her parents, said, "Dad, please tell mom for me that I will go back to take care of her as soon as possible, and that she must take good care of herself."

He Tiantian cherished the present affection and changes different from her past life.

Especially now that she was about to have a brother or sister, adding another loved one to her life.

No, including her grandmother, that was two more dearest ones.

But her mother was getting on in years, and she worried about her mother’s ability to cope.

"Your stepmother and many people in the village are there, and I will be there to look after your mom, so don’t worry," He Jingyu said, "Stay here with Jingyu for a while; if there’s no improvement, then take him back with you. We’ll pray to the Divine Dragon and try the hot springs; who knows, it might just work?"

"Okay," He Tiantian agreed. "Dad, be careful on your way back. We don’t lack anything at home, buy some extras to help mom recuperate."

"Naturally," He Jingyu said. He and his wife not only received salaries from Huai City, including special allowances, but also their share from Qijia Village, ensuring that their family lived very well.

The father and daughter discussed some things before retiring to their own rooms to rest.

The next morning, Huo Zhekun went to work, and Jiang Lifang, He Tiantian, and Huo Yingjie saw He Jingyu off on the train.

With a frail stepmother and a pregnant wife at home, He Jingyu was eager to return, wishing he had wings to fly back.

Although he worried about his daughter, He Jingyu knew she had grown up and had her own ideas. He respected her choices, and with the Huo couple there, he wasn’t worried about He Tiantian’s safety.
