”Damn, what the hell is going on?! It's so wicked, even these pregnant women won't be spared!” Another pregnant woman retorted.

”I think, why don't we directly enter the barren mountain to investigate?” I suggest.

”Looks like this is the only way. Since the crying has something to do with this, we can only start by investigating from the desolate mountain where the crying came from.”

”Ah?” You want to enter the desolate mountain? ” Old Village Head was so scared that he just rolled his eyes.

”Ah, yes, what's wrong with Old Village Head?”

”Aiya, that place is very dangerous. It's said that there were many ferocious beasts in the past, and many hunters have arranged many traps for hunting purposes.” If you were to encounter any ferocious beasts or traps, it would be troublesome! ”

”Ah?” There are actually ferocious beasts in this place? Wouldn't your village be in danger? What if the fierce beasts run out from the desolate mountain? ”

”Sigh, we have already researched many countermeasures. Many of the men in our village are familiar with hunting rifles. It's fine if they don't come out, but if they do, then we'll just tell them that they won't be able to come back. However, you youngsters, if you just go into the mountain like that, I'm afraid it won't be enough for some wild beasts to fill your stomachs! ”

Sigh, this Old Village Head really knows how to chat. He must be saying that I am thinner in disguise, but after all this time, I have indeed lost a lot of weight.

”Ah, it's fine, it's fine. Really, we still have some ability to protect ourselves. Some wild beasts are nothing to worry about, you can all go back and rest. We'll enter the mountain at daybreak tomorrow.”

Since it was too dark at night, we decided to spend the night in the village and go into the mountains the next day.

As he squeezed into a small room with Zhang Ziyuan to sleep, I don't know if the other party felt comfortable or not, but when he was alive, he was probably the young master of a large family. Even when he died, he didn't suffer much.

”Hey, seriously, you aren't used to living in this kind of place, are you? 'Since the conditions here are poor, why don't you spend the night here? '

Zhang Ziyuan laughed: ”What, you think I won't be able to endure the hardships? Let alone the fact that I am already a ghost, even before I died, I wasn't a playboy. ”

He never told me about Zhang Ziyuan before he died, so I didn't ask him about it. Now that I think about it, I was rather curious about it, so I just listened to what he had to say.

”At that time, I was not in your current society, and the difference between them was huge. I was the only son of the rich, and I remember my father doting on me. But I went out on my own. If my father didn't agree, and I didn't compromise, our relationship wouldn't be on good terms. Then my father married his wife, and our relationship worsened, so I moved out. ”

Sigh, so every society has these kinds of family conflicts. When I wanted to leave home and go to the city to find a job, my mother wouldn't let me go no matter what.

”A lot of things happened after that. Because I didn't take care of myself, I suffered from a serious illness. Father immediately brought me back, and he found many doctors who couldn't cure me. In the end … Actually, I feel that even though life is my own, my parents will always be worried about you. Although I don't regret what I've done, I deeply feel that I've let down my own father. ”

The first time he heard Zhang Ziyuan talk about these things, he felt that he was a hero that was short on breath. When he talked about his family that had been separated for a long time, it was filled with guilt.

”It's already been so long, don't think about it anymore.” I comforted him.
