Just as ye Qiao was shocked, Hua Ruiâs words answered ye Qiaoâs question.
âItâs all because of the bad guys. They forced the villagers to plant the seeds. Almost all the men in our village were addicted to it! There was no labor force to work, no farming, and no income. Just like that, generation after generation of poor people went on! âGrandpa Qiao, if I didnât miss my mom, I would never want to come back here! âMy dream since I Was Young was to walk out of here and go as far as possible!âHua Rui looked at the beautiful and poisonous sea of flowers, âYes!âShe said excitedly.
Ye Qiao was shocked again. Looking at Hua Ruiâs thin but powerful body, she admired her even more.
âHua Rui, you did it! When you graduate and have a formal job, bring your mom to the city as soon as possible! By the way, do you have any other family members?âYe Qiao encouraged her. The students from J University wouldnât be bad in the future.
Huaruiâs face changed again. She shook her head and said, âGrandpa Qiao, weâll be there after we cross the hill in front of us! Letâs Hurry!â
She didnât want to mention her father and brother.
Ye Qiao looked at the Sea of flowers and thought about Huaruiâs words thoughtfully.

Huaruiâs family was poorer than she had imagined. It could be described as having nothing at all. Her mom was the only one in the family. A woman in her forties looked to be in her sixties. She only knew dialects and couldnât speak Mandarin. Ye Qiao couldnât understand what she was saying either, she also asked Huarui to translate.
Although her mother didnât speak, she was very enthusiastic. She killed the only egg-laying hen and served ye Qiao.
Huarui wanted to go to the small store at the village entrance to buy some rice. There wasnât any rice in the rice vat. After the two bought the rice, Huarui dug up some pine mushrooms as she walked.
âThese things are very expensive!âYe Qiao had eaten mushrooms in her previous life. They were very rare, but she didnât expect that they were everywhere. There were also wild mushrooms such as Boletus, termites, and shallots.
âThe good thing about the mountains is that the ground is full of treasures. Even if you donât farm the land, you can survive by eating wild food all year round!âHua Rui smiled and said, âGrandpa Qiao, those mushrooms are poisonous. Donât pick them!â
âI heard that you eat poisonous mushrooms here too?âYe Qiao asked curiously, âI heard that after you eat them, youâll have hallucinations. Some villains talk, and some kids dance. Is that true?â
âItâs true! Those are poisonous mushrooms. Only local people dare to eat them! After eating them, youâll have many hallucinations, but you might even lose your life!âHuarui said with a smile.
When the two returned home, the fragrance of chicken was already wafting from the pot. Wild mushrooms stewed with native chicken was a delicacy that could not be found in the city, and Huaruiâs mother fried the mushrooms with native pork fat. They were definitely better than the ones she had eaten in Michelin restaurants in her previous life!
Huarui had tried to persuade her again and again, but there was no place for her to stay and take a bath. It was really inconvenient. Ye Qiao still went to the town and found a decent hotel to stay in.
âLu Xiaogang, Tell Mom, how far am I from your dad now? Mom always feels close...âfinally, after taking a hot bath, Ye Qiao turned to the bed. She lay down and asked seriously.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard gunshots coming from outside.
Ye Qiao immediately sat up. No Way, the time wasnât right!
âBrother Mu! Get in the car!âYe Qiao ran to close the window. She heard sounds coming from downstairs, along with the sound of fierce fighting. She carefully closed the window. Although she knew kung fu, it didnât mean that she wasnât afraid of bullets!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Downstairs, the door of the back seat of the black car was opened. A vigorous figure quickly jumped into the car and drove away!
