Chapter 377: The Legend of the Mountain God

The woman rushed forward, ready to fight.

Lele also shrank back in fear.

The slap fell, but turned into a hug.

The woman hugged Lele tightly, her body trembling slightly: "Your father is dead, and now Xiaozi is seriously ill. What should I do if you are lost too?"

She hugged Lele tightly as if she was about to cry.

Lele seemed to be infected by her mother's emotions, and she also cried: "I... I just want to buy a doll for Xiaozi."

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." The woman kept repeating this sentence, gently stroking Lele's head.

After a while, she stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked at the people at the door.

"Did you bring Lele back?" She suddenly bowed, "Thank you very much."

"Come in and sit."

Xu Ye and others followed her and Lele into the house.

The main house is full of old furniture and looks dilapidated.

Due to the invasion of virtual demons and the existence of the four major families and chaebols, the gap between the rich and the poor in the entire Dragon Kingdom is huge.

Unless a Void Hunter is born for a family in a mountain village like this, it will be extremely difficult for them to turn over and they can only continue to struggle with life.

They sat at the wooden table covered with scratches, and soon the woman brought several cups of tea and placed them in front of them.

"I'm sorry, my family's conditions are limited, that's all I have."

She spoke slightly sheepishly and poured tea for several people.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. We are all rough people and we drink the same thing." Although Lu Bod is a researcher, his emotional intelligence is not low at all.

He smiled in relief, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Lele stood up anxiously: "Mom, is Xiaozi awake? I brought her a gift!"

She showed the doll she was holding tightly in her hands, her eyes burning.

The woman was surprised for a moment, and then she noticed the doll in Lele's arms: "This...where did you buy it?"

Although she didn't go into the city very often, she could tell at a glance that these two dolls were worth a lot of money.

"I gave this to her." Xu Ye interrupted at the right time and rubbed Lele's head with a smile. "She is very obedient and helped me a little favor in the city, so I gave it to her." She got two dolls as gifts.”

"But..." The woman wanted to say something more, but she sighed softly and thanked her again, "Thank you very much."

"Not only did I bring Lele back, I also gave him such an expensive gift!"

She turned around and walked out the door, whispering softly: "Xiaozi has been awake for a while, but she is still very weak. You should be careful when visiting."

"I'll go make you lunch."

It was noon, and it was already dinner time.

She pushed the door open and walked out, while Lele jumped off the chair and said excitedly: "You guys can come too, Xiaozi will definitely be very happy to see you!"

"Okay." Xu Ye stood up with a faint smile, and was also a little curious about the sister Lele mentioned.

After he got up, he found that An Lan was in a daze.

Ever since he returned to Songfeng Village, he seemed to have been in this dazed state.

"Hey, let's go!" Xu Ye patted his shoulder, and An Lan suddenly came back to his senses, nodded expressionlessly, and followed.

They followed Lele into the back room.

As soon as they entered the house, the three of them were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The whole house smelled of alcohol, and bottles and various pill boxes could be seen everywhere on the floor.

A thin little girl with an infusion tube was leaning against the bed and reading a comic book.

Her whole face looked malnourished and she looked very pitiful.

As if she noticed someone coming in, Xiaozi looked up. After seeing Lele, he immediately smiled: "Sister Lele, you are back!"

She looked like she was only five or six years old, but her speech was very clear and full of sweetness.

"Xiao Zi!" Lele rushed over with the doll in her arms, her movements immediately becoming a little gentler.

She carefully placed the rabbit doll in her hand in front of Xiaozi's bed, and said with a smile: "I went to the city to buy you a doll!"

"It's your favorite bunny!!"

"Rabbit!!!" Xiaozi looked at the doll in his hand, his eyes bursting with dazzling light, and he looked very happy.

She held the doll in her arms with all her strength, and her voice became a little incoherent: "Thank you sister... I..."

She couldn't help coughing because she was so excited.

Seeing this, Lele quickly hugged her and gently combed her back.

The little kid who was originally young actually became very mature in front of his sister.

Even Xu Ye felt a little inexplicably depressed when he saw the scenes in front of him.

"Alas." Lu Bod sighed softly, "Every time I see a scene like this, I feel panicked."

Xu Ye was silent. If the virtual demon is not eliminated, those family consortiums will take this as an opportunity to continue to deprive the people at the bottom of their rights.

Even compared to the virtual demon, these family interest groups that wantonly exploited the interests of the entire country and the people made him sicker.

An Lan even murmured and looked at Xiao Zi on the bed. She didn't know what she thought of, and her brows furrowed tighter. Her originally empty eyes were full of confusion and pain.

Fortunately, Xu Ye and Lu Bode were quite talkative. After several conversations, Xiaozi was already laughing and smiling.

The very happy mother brought the food and invited everyone to come and eat.

The food was not rich, but it was delicious.

From the way Lele devoured the food, Xu Ye could see that even this level of food was not something they could eat often.

Through the conversations between the people during the meal, they also learned about Lele's family situation.

Lele's biological father was originally a local of Songfeng Village.

More than ten years ago, his father went out to work in Heicheng, where he met Lele's mother. The two settled in the city and gave birth to Lele and Xiaozi.

But just a year ago, a drunk driving young man hit and killed Lele's father on his way home from overtime at ten o'clock.

After that, the young man not only did not receive legal sanctions, but even relied on his own connections and means to operate in secret.

Lele's father's company suddenly sued him, convicting him of embezzlement of company property, with a solid chain of evidence, and used this as a pretext to sue Lele's family and seek compensation.

However, Lele's father was dead, and there was no evidence, so the other party's lawyer determined that he committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Under the influence of the young master, Lele's mother not only failed to defend her rights, but also owed a high amount of compensation.

In order to repay the compensation, she sold all the property in the family. In desperation, she could only live in Songfeng Village, her husband's former hometown.

However, it rained all night.

At this moment, Xiaozi was suddenly diagnosed with severe heart failure and could only survive with an IV drip every day.

The mother worked hard every day, and almost all the money was used to treat Xiaozi's illness. Naturally, the family lived in extreme poverty.

Hearing about their tragic experience, and seeing the innocent smiles of Lele and Xiaozi.

Xu Ye and others felt a little uncomfortable.

After a while of chatting, Lele's mother looked at them suddenly and said, "You specially accompanied Lele to the village this time..."

"You should also come for the legend of the [Songfeng Mountain God], right?"
