Ling Jue raised an eyebrow. "So what?"
2"You can't get in," he said proudly. "It's surrounded by metal nets. You can't get in at all."
2"Is that so? Alright then." Ling Jue nodded, turned around, and walked into the house.
2"Hey, hey, hey, Ling Jue, if you don't listen to me, something bad will happen to you. I know you can get in there!"
2"Hey! Boss! Grandpa Jue!" He shouted for a long time, but Ling Jue had already walked in, ignoring him.
2Niu Tingxiong rolled his eyes a few times, then chuckled. He would not go to herd the cows tomorrow morning. He would just wait for him here.
He had to follow his boss to see the so-called monster.
2Everyone in the village said that it was terrifying. He had been curious about it for a long time.
Today, he finally found a place to enter the back of the mountain. He had to go and take a look.
With that thought in mind, he went home happily.
When Ling Jue came back, her grandmother was still asleep. She picked up the sprinkler and watered the flowers.
At that moment, she saw two trees deep in the courtyard. They had been planted for more than fifty years, and there was a small swing hanging on them.
She was a little dazed. She put down the shower in her hand and walked over.
There was a rusty iron plate hanging on the iron chain. The old tree had been worn down to the point that its bark had fallen off. It was now growing together with the iron chain.
2"You're back?" Just as Ling Jue was lost in her thoughts, a voice came from behind her.
2She turned her head and looked at her grandmother, who was already up.
The old woman walked over with a slightly tired face. "These two trees were planted when your grandfather and I were married."
2"At that time, he said that he would make them into small swings for his grandchildren when they grow up." She touched the iron chain with her hands, but she did not seem to notice the rust. Her voice sounded distant. "Later, when your mother and your uncle were ten years old, they were already strong enough to be made into swings. The last time you were here, you liked to sit here the most."
2Ling Jue took out a tissue and wiped her hands.
"Let's go. Grandma will cook for you." She smiled, patted Ling Jue on the shoulder, and turned to leave for the kitchen.
2"Lord Jue..." Tang Yuan wanted to say something but stopped itself. It mumbled, "I told you, a slap would be enough. Why are you hesitating?"
2Ling Jue wiped the iron board with a tissue, then placed a few pieces of paper on top of it. She sat on it and shook it.
2Outside was a familiar scene. It was a small river filled with aquatic plants.
There were also fish jumping out of the river and sucking on it. The sky was dark, as if it was going to rain.
2In this kind of weather and scene, everyone who experienced it would feel depressed.
Ling Jue's mind, however, had always been filled with painful memories. She only felt pain all over her body.
"You should never have been born!"
2"You're a son of a b*tch!"
2"You deserve to die! Why don't you just die!"
2"..."
Ling Jue's memory is full of that woman's heart-wrenching words.
Her face was as usual. All of this, Tang Yuan could not feel. Only she could experience it.
2It was as if she were reading someone else's story, and it had nothing to do with her.
She saw the way Ling Jue was beaten up by that woman in her memory.
No wonder she was autistic. No wonder she had low self-esteem. No wonder she was depressed...
2"Xiao Jue, it's time to eat!" At that moment, she heard her grandmother's voice and it woke her up.
2She stood up, patted the dust off her body, and walked into the house.
"Lord Jue, do you want to consider Tang Yuan's suggestion?" Tang Yuan squatted on her shoulder. Why did it feel that Lord Jue was so strange at that moment?

Lord Jue had such a sinister aura on her that it worried him a lot.
2Lord Jue looked like she was going to turn black at any moment...
2"Let's go catch some insects tomorrow." Ling Jue calmed herself down and grabbed Tang Yuan to ravage it.
2Grandma had already brought the stir-fried dishes to the table. They were all the best farm dishes.
"This lotus root was sent by your Uncle Niu a few days ago. Some time ago, the lotus flowers in the pond bloomed very well. Now, it's full of lotus roots."
2"Is it the pond where we used to grow rice?"
2"Yes, it says here that lotus flowers can be grown to develop tourism, but it can't be developed. This place is still too remote."
2Ling Jue served her a bowl of rice, and the two of them began to eat around the table.
Tang Yuan looked at the fried black lotus root slices and then at the green vegetables. It lost its appetite.
2It still liked crayfish and hairy crabs...
2So, this was what grandma ate at home all by herself.
Ling Jue did not mind it. She picked up the vegetables and ate. It was very salty, but she only frowned slightly.
It did not taste that bad when she ate it with the rice.
"This is all we have at home. I'll go to the vegetable field tomorrow and take a look. The radishes that were planted a while ago have all been plucked by the children. There should be some leeks left. Does Xiao Jue like leeks?"
2As she spoke, she picked up the vegetables and ate them without any expression on her face.
Ling Jue suddenly had a thought in her mind. Her grandmother had lost her sense of taste.
2"It's fine. Your dishes are the best." Her voice was a little hoarse as she tried to get her thoughts back.
2"With my skills, your grandfather used to cook for me when he was around." There was a smile at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with yearning. "I wonder when I'll be able to eat his dishes again."
2"Waaa!" Tang Yuan cried out loud. "Grandma is so pitiful! She must still be in love with grandpa. Waaa, Tang Yuan is so sad."
2Ling Jue's hand paused for a moment, and the corner of her mouth curled into a bitter smile.
She must have lived a wonderful life in her previous life and neglected many ordinary things.
That was why the ordinary things she felt in this life were so terrifying.
"Hurry up and eat. I heard that there's going to be a power cut tonight." Grandma chuckled and continued eating.
2She ate two bowls, and Ling Jue finished the dishes as well.
2After dinner, Ling Jue went to wash the dishes. It was the first time in her two lives that she had washed the dishes, but she had never eaten pork before. She had also seen pigs run around, so she could not have washed the dishes until they flew away, right.
It was done very quickly. The small courtyard had just been finished when it turned dark.
The power was out.
2"Lord Jue, this village is really backward. There's even a power cut. Fortunately, Tang Yuan doesn't need to be charged like a phone. Otherwise, it would be very pitiful."
2Ling Jue pinched it and stretched lazily. "Let's go back to sleep."
2"Lord Jue, it's only eight o'clock now. Are we going to sleep like this?"
2"What else?"
2"Why don't we go stir up some trouble?"
2"Hmm?" Ling Jue raised an eyebrow.
2"That little bull seemed to be very arrogant today. Let's go teach him a lesson."
2"..." Ling Jue looked at it coldly. Are you sure you're not here to make a joke?
2That kid was not funny at all. She had no intention of teaching him a lesson.
"Alright. Actually, I'm too bored." Tang Yuan sighed. "Lord Jue, buy me a phone that can browse Weibo. I want to scold people online too."
2"I'll buy it for you when I get back."
2"Alright, alright, alright!" Tang Yuan was excited. It had to register for a Weibo account called Lord Tang Yuan V587!
2Hahahaha, it would definitely have a lot of fans!
