C43 (1/2)

Although they had settled the cadaver, Song Zhengming's death was extremely tragic, and the three of them could not bear to watch. Just as he was unsure of what to do, a noise came from the nearby trees. In succession, a few more cadaver crawled out from various places.

They fled immediately. Before escaping, Su Qin picked up the powerful light flashlight that she had previously used. In the end, under the combined efforts of the Toad Man and the cadaver, they were forced to come to the stone bridge. This time, Qiao Mu no longer hesitated and brought Yang Jie over the broken rocks at the side of the stone bridge, heading towards the lakeside.

By the time they reached the lake, they were exhausted and had to slow down. Qiao Mu discovered that the trees at the lakeside were rather lush. There were even a few towering trees that made one's heart palpitate. If the cadaver were to ambush here, it would be impossible to guard against them.

In addition, the stench coming from the lakeside was even stronger than that of Flower Snake Village. It was this rotten green lake that changed everything in the Flower Snake Village.

At this time, the three of them astonishingly saw a shabby thatched cottage in the depths of the forest.

Behind the thatched hut, there were a few paddy fields, and a medium-sized orchard with several orange trees growing in it. A corner of the garden was separated by a small wooden fence. Five chickens were quietly pecking at the food, giving off a lively feeling.

Apparently, someone lived in this thatched cottage. Unlike the other houses in the village, the roof of this thatched cottage was not made of black bricks, giving off a fresh and refined feeling.

The three of them had a very good impression of this thatched cottage. When they saw that the door was ajar, they walked in.

The furnishings inside the room were relatively simple. Other than the bedding, a small square table, two wooden stools and a stove in the corner, there was no other furniture. A fire had been lit on the ground in the middle, indicating that the owner of the thatched cottage might have been there just now.

”Does anyone live in this house?” Yang Jie asked curiously.

”Definitely.” said Arbor, observing.

”Little sister, didn't you say that the villagers all avoid the people on the other side of the river?” Little sister, didn't you say that the villagers all avoid the people on the other side? Yang Jie asked Su Qin.

”I don't know. That's what my family said.” Su Qin replied.

”Have you been here before?” Yang Jie asked again.

”Nope.” Su Qin shook her head.

After a while, Qiao Mu sat down and said: ”Let's rest for a while and not go anywhere. Let's wait and see if anyone comes back.”

Yang Jie and Su Qin agreed. The three surrounded the fire and sat on a bench. They all had their own thoughts, but no one said anything.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Mu raised his head and asked Su Qin: ”Little sister, do you still have anything else to say?”

Su Qin could not help but be startled, and looked at Qiao Mu.

”Yeah, you really have nothing else to say to us?” Yang Jie asked Su Qin.

Actually, Qiao Mu and Yang Jie both had a faint feeling that Su Qin was hiding something, and that it was something extremely important.

Su Qin appeared to be panicking, her expression had already explained the situation.

”Can you talk about it now? For example, when your mother died, I already felt that something was amiss. Why didn't she become a cadaver like the other villagers? And Small Snake Island, what happened to your father and those people after that? ” he asked cautiously.

Su Qin hesitated for a while, before she slowly said, ”Mm, you guessed right. Before this trip, my aunt did indeed tell me some things, about my parents.”

Qiao Mu and Yang Jie sat up at the same time.

”My aunt told me that the reason why mother didn't follow the village rules and soak in the water to become a cadaver was because when mother died, she was not at Flower Snake Village at all.” Su Qin said.

”Oh? ”Then where is she?” Yang Jie asked.

”Small Snake Island!”

”Huh?” Yang Jie could not help but be shocked, ”Your mother also went to the Small Snake Island?”

”Mn, my aunt also told me that long ago, mother already had a premonition that these things would happen today. She even knew that the source of the evil was from the Small Snake Island, so after she explained the situation to my aunt, she went to the Small Snake Island alone …”

”Wait! Why am I a little confused listening to this! ” ”How did your mother know?”

”At the beginning, my father and I were also kept in the dark. It was my aunt who told me about it. It was about my mother's life.”

”Your mother's birth? ”What is her background?” Yang Jie asked doubtfully.

”My aunt said that my mother had been a life form master since she was young, and that she had the ability to foresee the future and see the past. When she was eight years old, she had already foreseen this disaster, but she only told my aunt that she wanted her aunt to keep it a secret. Later, when she married my father and gave birth to my sister and me, my aunt told me that my mother had foreseen all this long ago.

Qiao Mu and Yang Jie would never have thought that Zheng Huili's elder sister, Zheng Huiling, was actually a super power user with the ability of prediction. In the past, Qiao Mu always scoffed at these so-called superpowers, not caring at all. On the contrary, it was Yang Jie who had done some reports that were related to the supernatural.

”What you said …” ”Is it reliable?” Qiao Mu asked doubtfully.

”My aunt told me all of this before she went to the Flower Snake Village. She had originally planned to never tell me, she was afraid that I would live in the shadows for a long time, but this time she's worried that she won't be able to come back, so she definitely won't lie to me.”

”Alright, we trust you. Why would your mother want to go to the Small Snake Island?” Yang Jie could not help but ask.

”Why? ”Because …” At this point, Su Qin suddenly became sad, ”Mom wants to make a deal with the Great Demon King.”

”A deal?” Yang Jie was shocked.

”Yes, my mother knows very well that our entire family, including my father, me, and my sister, have all drank the same type of water that other villagers have. They have already been infected by the poison, but on the other hand, my mother also knows that the corpses are willing …”

”Wait!” ”What is the will of the Corrupt Corpse?” Qiao Mu asked anxiously.

”Before my mother died, she told my aunt that the general like rotting corpse was about to awaken, and that its intention was to find a person who could inherit his will. This person … It's my father! ” Su Qin's expression was painful.

Facing Su Qin's unexpected answers, Qiao Mu and Yang Jie looked at each other.

”Your father? Why? Then... ”That transaction …” Yang Jie seemed to have realized something.
