Chapter 208 Life is a Play (4)

As soon as Wen Chan finished speaking, she felt that Jiao Si’s face looked a little embarrassed.

Another boy next to him said more directly, “Let’s go to the mayor’s house and wait for a while. It’s getting dark soon. If I follow you, I don’t know how long we’ll be wandering.”

The boy’s name is Yang Qiao. He had been dissatisfied with some of Jiao Si’s words before, but he didn’t expect that following him would have no good results.

Just now when Qin Ji dragged Wen Chan away, he and Pang Li were also planning to leave. Jiao Sifei said that they were not sociable and unwilling to cooperate, and they would suffer later.

There were three of them now, which was a big group, and they could take care of each other. There was a lot of talking and for a while they were really fooled by him.

As a result, the three of them came back in high spirits, but their suitcases were left at the door by the hotel owner, and they had been kicked out.

Even if they wanted to find a townsperson’s home to stay for a night, it was impossible because Wu Mei had ruined their reputation and no one was willing to receive them.

If they had come back earlier and hadn’t listened to Jiao Si’s empty promises, they would have been able to live with the mayor in his home.

“Now that Pang Li is gone, are you still listening to his nonsense?” Yang Qiao called Pang Li while pulling his luggage.

Pang Li followed without saying a word.

Jiao Si wanted to say something, but knowing he was in the wrong, he said nothing in the end. He glared at Wen Chan and left with the two of them.

Wen Chan felt puzzled.

It wasn’t her who drove them out, nor was it her who stopped them from living in the mayor’s house. Why were they glaring at her?
Is she so hateful?

…

Wawa Mountain is not far from the town. Standing in the town, you can even see the mountain standing quietly not far away.

It looks like a bare mountain, with barely any trees on it.

Wen Chan was standing on the second-floor balcony of a teahouse at this time, looking at the hillside not far away.

A middle-aged woman in ancient costume next to her was refilling the teacup in her hand, muttering to herself.

“Why are you asking about that place? Could it be…”

He paused here and glanced at her belly vaguely.

Wen Chan lowered her head and took a look at her stomach.

She didn’t give any extra explanations, but nodded solemnly and asked, “Is there anything I need to pay attention to?”

“A sin.”

The old lady sighed, “Go and worship him at night. The child god will take him away at night. You can come back and have a good sleep then. He won’t suffer too much, and you won’t have any wild thoughts.”

“Child God?” Wen Chan raised his eyebrows, “But can we still go up this baby mountain at night? Don’t we need a ticket?”

“Tickets?” The old lady gave her a strange look. “I’ve never heard of it. To do something so shameless, do you need a ticket? Don’t let anyone fool you, little girl.”

“In fact, you are not the first group of people to come here, but you are definitely the first group to come here as tourists. Otherwise, the teahouse and hotel where we rested would have closed down long ago.”

“There are often people from other places who hear about our Wawa Mountain and come here to worship the God of Children. They usually leave on the same day they come, and only stay in the town for a night if it’s too late.”

“There should be more cases like this. There are all kinds of people in this town who want to cheat you out of your money.”

Wen Chan nodded, “Auntie, can you tell me the story of this child god?”

There were not many customers in the teahouse today, so the old lady put down the teapot in her hand, stood with Wen Chan, and started gossiping with her.

“Well, it’s not a big story, right…” Suddenly, she stopped and looked around to make sure there was no one around. Then she leaned close to Wen Chan’s ear and whispered, “Do you believe in God?”

“…”

There is probably only one answer to this question in this town.

It is said that there is a child god on the mountain. If she doesn’t believe it, she will be driven out.

Wen Chan smiled at her and said, “If I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t be here.”

The old lady looked at her and nodded, “That’s right. I see you said you came here for tourism, but actually you came here for Wawa Mountain. The town is so small that you can walk around it in one day. There’s nothing to see. You haven’t left yet, probably because you heard the legend of Wawa Mountain.”

Wen Chan remained silent.

The old lady went on to say, “If you believe in it, it will definitely be good for you.”

“It is said that this Wawa Mountain was an ordinary barren mountain in the past. During the famine in those years, a couple had a child. They had no money to raise him, but they couldn’t bear to let him die, so they threw him on the mountain.”

“This kind of conscienceless behavior should have been punished by God, but who would have thought that not long after, the couple suddenly became rich!”

“They dug up a bag of gold in their yard, became rich overnight, and then left Cangyang Town and never came back.”

“Everyone thought they were just lucky at first, and wondered if it was left to them by their ancestors. But not long after, a fickle woman gave birth to a child, and her husband found out it wasn’t his. After some questioning, they realized she had cheated on him. Her husband threw the child to death on the spot, and kicked her out of the house with a divorce letter.”

“In that era, those who stole men would be thrown into a pig cage. The woman had nowhere to go, so she fled to the mountains, dumped the child’s body there, and found a cave to spend the night. When she woke up the next day, she found that the child’s body was gone. She also found some gold, silver and jewelry in the cave. She suddenly floated from hell to heaven.”

“But she wasn’t so lucky. Even after she made a fortune, she was still caught by her ex-husband who was still angry with her. He robbed her of her money and put her in a pig cage.”

“Gradually, people began to realize that there was something wrong with this mountain, and that throwing children on the mountain could make them rich.”

“Some greedy people threw their children on it to try it out, and they always found a large amount of gold and silver treasures within a week.”

“Since there were so many lost babies, the name of Wawa Mountain came from that. Everyone said there was a child god on the mountain. If he took your child, he would repay you with something else.”

“Most of the people who are still staying in Cangyang Town don’t have children, and some are reluctant to leave their own children. Otherwise, who would want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune?”

“But in my opinion, they are all heartless people. That child is a living life!”

At this point, she turned to look at Wen Chan and asked a fatal question, “By the way, did you abort your child yourself, or was it an accident?”

Wen Chan: “…”

No matter which answer he gives, it seems that he will become the heartless person in the eyes of the aunt who doesn’t want his own child for money.

Wen Chan opened her mouth and said, “He inherited his father’s deformity and the doctor doesn’t recommend having a baby, so…”

“Emma, ​​you are such a pretty girl, why do you choose a partner like that?” The old lady’s eyes, which had originally been questioning her, suddenly turned into sympathetic ones.

In this situation, there is really nothing that can be done.

Wen Chan smiled and said, “True love is invincible.”

The old lady sighed, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, comforting her: “After you make a fortune here, use the money to treat him. It’s not a good idea to never have a normal child.”

Wen Chan nodded without refutation, “Thank you, Auntie.”

It’s hard for the child to be normal given his father’s weird appearance.

However, Wen Chan felt that he was unable to have children. Sometimes he couldn’t even see that thing, so it was difficult to judge.

Wen Chan had almost finished asking questions from the old lady and was about to leave when a group of people came into the town, beating drums and gongs and carrying boxes.

They wore short red gossamer and belts and began to set up the stage at their regular performance location in the town center.

The troupe is getting ready for the performance.

The lady next to me immediately became excited. “Have you seen the previous performances of this troupe? These city folks are really amazing. It seems like they can perform anything.”

“Their mainstay, his name is… Zhong Lian. Oh, his bone-shrinking skill made him shrink like a ball. He even crawled through a vase, and in the end only his head was left. It was so scary.”

“I’ll go check it out, thank you, ma’am.”

Wen Chan stuffed the teacup into the old lady’s hand, turned around and went downstairs.

“Hey, kid…you haven’t given him the money yet!” The old lady hurriedly chased after him.

…Wen Chan really had no money and wanted to pay with points, but transfers were not supported here, and she was embarrassed.

But thinking that she only drank two cups of the most ordinary tea that had no tea flavor at all, she had a clear conscience about running away from the bill.

Just think of it as her coming to ask for two glasses of boiled water!
She got the name of the spherical man, Zhonglian.

By the time she arrived at the stage, there were already many people surrounding it who had reserved seats in advance.

Wen Chan also saw Qin Ji standing in the front row in the crowd.

He must have come out with the drama troupe, and he occupied such a good position at the first moment.

Wen Chan shamelessly squeezed through the crowd and stood next to Qin Ji.

She couldn’t avoid being scolded for this action, but when she saw that she knew the tall guy Qin Ji, she shut up for a moment.

The main reason is that Qin Ji’s aura looks a bit scary.

“Boss Qin.” Wen Chan bumped Qin Ji’s arm and called out softly.

Qin Ji looked straight ahead, and spoke indifferently from under his mask, “Did you find out?”

He really has some bossy attitude.

Wen Chan shook the ticket in his hand, then immediately put it away and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “This ticket was not prepared by the town people. It should be specially arranged for us by the system of the copy. You are right, our ultimate goal is actually Wawa Mountain.”

“As expected.” Qin Ji nodded.

Wen Chan quickly added, “Throwing a child into the mountains will make you rich.”

Qin Ji: “Feudal fan…what did you say?”

He finally turned his head to Wen Chan.

I wanted to pretend that they were not very familiar with each other and were not discussing things in whispers.

Wen Chan’s words left him confused.

“Keep your voice down!” Wen Chan bumped into him.

Qin Ji pulled up his mask awkwardly and glanced around inconspicuously. He felt relieved when no one noticed their actions.

“Has this kind of thing been confirmed?” Qin Ji would not believe these things at all, but this was in a copy, where all kinds of outrageous things happened, so he did not doubt the authenticity of this matter.

Wen Chan nodded and whispered, “Do you want to try it?”

Qin Ji frowned, “How to try?”

Wen Chan snorted and laughed, “Don’t you men have hundreds or thousands of children at your fingertips?”

“…”

Qin Ji’s face flushed red under the mask, and he gritted his teeth and spat out one word, “Get lost!”

Wen Chan looked at him expressionlessly, “I’m serious.”

Qin Ji: “Get lost! I’m not short of money!”

Wen Chan has already reached out: “V50 to see the strength.”

Qin Ji: “…”

Your real purpose is to get money!

“hehe.”

Just then, the two heard a child’s sneer.

They looked down at the same time and saw the little boy who was kicked away by Wen Chan in the west yard before, sandwiched between them, looking up and sneering at them.

The smile looked a bit sinister.

Qin Ji and Wen Chan were both quite tall, so it was really hard to spot a little kid standing in front of them, especially since this kid didn’t have any aura on him for some reason, and when he didn’t make any sound, other people couldn’t detect his presence.

The little boy tilted his head to look at Wen Chan and asked, “Is this your boyfriend?”

Wen Chan looked at him disdainfully, her eyebrows slightly raised, “Are you looking for me to take responsibility again?”

The little boy said sternly, “What do you think?”

Qin Ji had calmed down from the frivolous topic just now. He glanced at Wen Chan and sneered, “You don’t even let the children go? Beast!”

Wen Chan: “…”

The little boy immediately confirmed: “No man would say that about his girlfriend, so he is not your boyfriend.”

He tentatively stretched out his little hand to hold Wen Chan’s hand, “Don’t find excuses to reject me, okay? I will be sad.”

“…” Wen Chan was a little speechless. The tone sounded as if he was confessing his feelings to her, but in fact, he was just asking her to be responsible for him?

These are two different natures!

Wen Chan was about to pull her hand out of his little hand when she heard a member of a troupe not far away shouting, “Zhong Lian, come over for rehearsal.”

“Coming.” The little boy turned around and replied.

Wen Chan was slightly stunned.

Xiao Zhonglian tightly grasped Wen Chan’s hand and said seriously: “You are not allowed to leave! Stay and watch my performance! If I don’t see you on the stage later, I will climb up your window in the middle of the night!”

Wen Chan: “…”

Xiao Zhonglian turned around and was about to run, but Wen Chan grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her back.

She lifted him up from the ground with one hand so that he was looking at her level.

“what’s your name?”

Xiao Zhonglian blinked, cleared her throat, and said seriously: “Oh, I did forget to tell you, my name is Zhonglian, your future boyfriend, what’s yours?”

Wen Chan laughed angrily.

OK OK.

This time it’s finally not a messy shape. This time it’s turned directly into a child, right?

She stretched out her other empty hand to Qin Ji beside her, “Boss Qin, did you bring your cell phone with you?”

Qin Ji was silent for a moment, then took out the cell phone he had picked up for free from his pocket.

Wen Chan flipped through the photo album and found the photo of the spherical man, and handed it to Zhong Lian, “Is this you?”

When Zhong Lian saw this photo, she felt a little shy for a moment, “So… so ugly, why do you keep my ugly photo?”

“So you had noticed me at that time?”

“Then…then you are still not responsible for me? You bad woman!”

Wen Chan: “…”

“Go away!”

Wen Chan threw Xiao Zhonglian into the air, and kicked him back to the troupe like a ball.

Mad!
Give her back a 1.8-meter-tall handsome guy!
