Chapter 62.2

Chrysanthemum Garden.

This silver bug was obviously not a bug because the next second, a faint sound came out from the “mouth” of the bug.

“…mother! Sorry! I can’t do it! I still can’t do it!” AYMukw

Xiao Tangqiu reacted instantly, this was a gadget similar to a monitoring device!

Everyone else’s expressions were calm and seemed used to this. He silently looked at Tang Mianmian and Shen Yuan. Except for the blank expression on Shen Yuan’s face, Tang Mianmian was also stunned. He felt relieved.

It wasn’t just him that had never seen the world!

No wonder Yu Fuling always seemed to know the area, she had such an artifact! …Was this a special prop? oSI5fB

Xiao Tangqiu thought for a while, then quickly perked his ears and looked forward.

Although the audio and video were a bit out of sync, the information was still clear!

“Mother, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” The man wept and kept apologizing as if doing something extremely unfilial.

The old woman was facing Xiao Tangqiu and the others so they could see the indignant expression on her face, “…Taro! How can you be so weak!” p0R2UG

“Sorry! I can’t do it! I can’t do it!” The man wept loudly and hugged the grandma’s thigh.

“Taro! Don’t be cowardly! You can’t be cowardly!” The old lady was very agitated and her wrinkles seemed to be rippling with agitation. “This had been the tradition of our Hundred Ghost Town for hundreds of years. It can’t be given up! Hurry! Get me back to the Holy Mountain! Just like you did that day! ”

“Mother! I can’t do it!”

The old lady scolded, “What did I teach you when you were a kid? Did you forget what I said? Are you no longer listening to me!” SfpwZ5

“But mother… I can’t do it!”

The man cried bitterly, “But I can’t…”

“Have you forgotten how your father carried your grandma to the Holy Mountain?” The old lady glanced down at the son hugging her thigh, and her tone suddenly calmed, filled with kindness and love, “This has been our Hundred Ghosts Town’s tradition for hundreds of years. I have told you since you were a kid to eat well and become strong so that when you grew up, you would have the strength to carry me to the mountain… This day is finally here. Taro, look at yourself. It’s fine even if you are so thin, but how can you be so weak?” mVn3iG

The man shook his head frantically, “But… but…”

“Didn’t you do it that day? Today you just need to act like that day…” The old lady gently comforted her son, “I will stay on the Holy Mountain forever and bless you with the mountain god …”

The man struggled for a while and suddenly cried, “There are no mountain gods on the mountain, only wolves!”

The old lady’s expression suddenly changed and she slapped her son. “Shut up! How can you offend the mountain god?” RsVHul

The man covered his face and cried, “Mother! Let’s leave here! Let’s leave Hundred Ghosts Town! I heard that there is no such tradition outside…”

“Shut up!” The old woman glowered, “You can’t leave Hundred Ghosts Town! No one can leave Hundred Ghosts Town! As long as you enter Hundred Ghosts Town, you can never leave!”

The man shook.

The old lady’s tone gradually calmed down again, “I met your aunt Junko that day and she wore her favorite kimono… Ichiro was braver than you even as children. When can you be brave like Ichiro? ” OLQPD0

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt halt. After a while, the man slowly picked up the humpbacked old lady and climbed up the mountain with difficulty.

The setting sun, originally hanging on the mountainside, gradually descended.

The scorching sun stained this hill called Holy Mountain red.

Xiao Tangqiu looked at the mother and son in front of them silently, his heart like a stormy sea. K9CWwv

Although he already had a vague idea, after knowing the truth, he was quite shocked… It turned out that this Hundred Ghosts Town had such a strange and terrible tradition!

“Fuck! So much information!”

Tang Mianmian was also stunned.

“They’re going up the hill, hurry and follow.” d2iQle

Xue Junli’s expression was heavy.

With that order, the group immediately followed.

This time they didn’t need to worry about losing them. Hiking was already a strenuous task, not to mention that the man was carrying an old lady on his back, he was faltering and had difficulty moving forward.

The crowd followed not too far or close. The people ahead climbed too slowly and they had to slow down the pace of following. They even chatted because they were too bored. XUvH7f

Tang Mianmian turned his head and asked Xiao Tangqiu, “Qiuqiu, what do you think of this?”

Xiao Tangqiu pondered for a moment and replied, “Actually, I have heard of similar customs and traditions before…”

Tang Mianmian was immediately curious, “Oh? What about?”

Xiao Tangqiu said, “I heard that there used to be a poor, small mountain village. The whole village was very poor so they would carry the elderly who could no longer work up the mountain and let them survive on their own to save on food and let the young people live…” xZ0zNH

Tang Mianmian was stunned, “Fuck! Isn’t that abandoning the old? They can just watch their parents die?”

Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips, “For them, this should have become a tradition? They have abandoned their parents, but they know that they will also be abandoned by their children in the future. Their parents were sacrificed and at the same time they will be sacrificed for their children in the future.”

Tang Mianmian’s mouth twitched, “What kind of fucked up feudal and barbaric tradition is this? Even the poorest shouldn’t do this! What’s the difference between this and personally killing their parents?”

Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “This custom was too strange so I remembered it after one look. Compared with the era of trading children for food’s simple and crude cruelty in the 1980s and 1990s, this peaceful cruelty… seems crueler.” aEtKkg

Duan Hongzhen came over and interjected, “What’s going on with that mountain god? Is there really a mountain god in this damned place?”

Xiao Tangqiu shook his head, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s a local legend. Perhaps the ancestors of Hundred Ghosts Town made up the story that there is a Holy Mountain near the village in order to disguise and beautify their actions of abandoning their elderly. Since there is a mountain god on the Holy Mountain, they weren’t abandoning the old, they were sending the old to accompany the mountain god. The old people sent to the ‘Holy Mountain’ will protect their children and grandchildren with the mountain god and bless this Hundred Ghosts Town…”

Tang Mianmian snorted immediately, “If I were an elderly sent to this deserted area, I would never bless my rubbish offspring and that shitty Hundred Ghosts Town! You killed me and even want my blessing? Peh
