Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Why were there so many people gathered at Granny Song’s door?!
Why did so many people have such a pained expression?!
An extremely terrifying thought flashed through Ye Linlang’s mind.
Ye Linlang’s face instantly turned deathly pale. It was clearly still a bit hot, but Ye Linlang felt her hands and feet turn cold.
It was as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on her feet in the cold weather.
No, she didn’t believe it.
It was definitely not what she thought!
Granny had said that good people would live for a long time. A good person like Granny was the best person Linlang had ever met in this world. How could something happen to her?
Don’t scare yourself, Granny will definitely be fine!
The skinny little girl threw down her school bag and rushed over like a maniac!
“Get out of the way! All of you get out of the way!”
The people around were all shocked by the scene of Ye Linlang rus.h.i.+ng over.
The girl who usually looked quiet was actually like a wild little beast at this moment!
The surroundings were instantly filled with whispers.
There were even many people pointing at Ye Linlang who was standing there in a daze amidst the sounds of sympathy.
“Look, it’s this jinx. It’s not enough that she killed her own brother, but she still wants to harm Granny Song and her family!”
“Yes, yes, why is this girl such a jinx?!”
“After Granny Song adopted her, her only son and daughter-in-law died not long after. However, Granny Song refused to believe it and even wanted to keep this little jinx by her side. Now, look! She even caused her death!”
…
There were so many voices, but Ye Linlang seemed to be unable to hear or see anything. All that was left was the frail figure slumped on the chair in front of her.
The Song family’s Granny’s head and limbs drooped weakly. Her face that had been through so many years was already covered in wrinkles. Her eyes were closed, and her face and lips were abnormally pale.
No, no, no, Granny was just asleep.
How could Granny abandon her and leave alone like this?
Granny had clearly promised herself that she would live to a hundred years old.
Her heart seemed to have been bitten by a bug. It was riddled with holes, and the pain was sharp and fine.
Granny, this joke was not funny at all.
Granny, wake up, will you?
Linlang promised you that she will study hard in the future, that she will go to school obediently, and that she will not throw a tantrum at you in the future.
…
Ye Linlang only felt that her footsteps were as heavy as a thousand pounds. Every step she took was difficult.
Those people just looked at the little girl who was usually silent. She walked to the Song family’s Granny’s corpse in a daze and hugged her tightly.
Ye Linlang’s knees went soft and she knelt down stiffly in front of Granny Song.
“Granny, don’t scare me, okay? Linlang is timid, Linlang will be afraid…”
In an instant, tears fell uncontrollably like water from an opened valve.
One drop after another, the boiling heat made Ye Linlang panic.
However, the Granny’s body was cold, the complete opposite.
There was no warmth at all.
Ye Linlang was separated by the Song family’s Granny’s clothes, which had two patches on them. She did not care at all about the fact that the other party was already dead, and she rubbed against the old woman’s embrace in vain.
The sixteen-year-old girl’s eyes were red and painful, and tears flowed down her face.
Why was Granny’s body so cold?
Would it be better if she warmed up?
Ye Linlang stubbornly thought so, and immediately hugged the Song family’s Granny’s body, which had no warmth at all, even tighter.
“Granny, Granny… don’t leave Linlang behind, alright? Didn’t you say that Linlang is the most obedient and good girl in this world? Don’t leave Linlang behind, alright?”
“Linlang only has you in this world. If you scare me like this, I’ll really be scared.”
“Granny, don’t go… don’t go…”
Ye Linlang’s voice was hoa.r.s.e, one sound after another. It was that hopeless despair.
The haze that covered the sky and earth seemed to be enveloping this girl.
However, no one felt heartache for her.
…
Everyone watched this scene with their mouths agape. Some of the people who were watching the show subconsciously took a step back.
They clearly did not expect Ye Linlang to be so bold as to even dare to hug a dead body!
“Look at that little star of disaster. She was clearly the one who killed the Song family’s Granny, yet she still dares to ask the Granny not to leave!”
“Exactly… it looks so scary. Who would hug a dead body?!”
…
Just as everyone was discussing, village chief Old Li of the small mountain village came over.
This village was extremely small, and it was located in a remote area, so it was very much like a large family.
Basically, every household had some important matter that they couldn’t be sure of, so it was up to the village chief to manage it.
Old Li walked past the people around Granny Song’s House who were watching the show. When he saw the little girl in the room who was holding Granny Song’s corpse tightly, his eyes subconsciously widened.
He felt that it was so scary.
However, Old Li was cultured after all, so he wouldn’t be so fl.u.s.tered like this.
“Granny Song has already left. Ye Linlang, holding her like this isn’t a solution. What do you look like? Come down quickly.”
The thin and weak girl acted as if she didn’t hear it. The corners of her eyes reddened as she held tightly onto Granny Song’s body, refusing to let go.
The air began to freeze.
Because this village wasn’t advanced, and the people here generally believed in things like the eight characters, five elements, and karma, they generally didn’t like Ye Linlang.
The reason was because Ye Linlang’s eight characters were said to be very hard, and many people died because of it. The first one was her younger brother, who died before he was born.
Since she was sent to the small desolate village, she had killed the son and daughter-in-law of the Song family’s Granny. Now, even the Song family’s Granny herself could not escape!
Village chief Old Li immediately frowned. He also did not like this girl very much. Now that the Song family’s Granny was dead, it was best to chase this little disaster out of the village.
In any case, other than Granny Song, no one else in the village was willing to adopt her.
Ye Linlang’s biological parents were rather rich. It would be better to take advantage of this to extort a sum of money!
…
Village chief Old Li made up his mind and immediately snorted coldly at Ye Linlang.
“Hurry up and pull her away. She’s already dead. Do you think that holding a corpse will bring her back to life?!”
The village chief had a lot of authority here. Soon, two burly men came forward and pulled Ye Linlang’s arms from both sides.
Ye Linlang’s eyes were red under the suppression of the two men. She was still struggling with all her might.
“No! Granny is clearly not dead! You can’t separate me and Granny!”
The surrounding people snorted in disdain.
Ye Linlang was just an ordinary 16-year-old girl after all. How could she have the strength to watch the village chief get someone to take Granny’s body away?
Ye Linlang sat on the ground in a daze. Her heart hurt as if someone had stabbed it.
Granny was gone.
Home was gone…
She had nothing left…
