Chapter 582 Tiger's Mother Confess

"At first I didn't understand why the people who died in our village had to be taken away by the village chief to be buried, and we, their relatives, could do nothing about it."

“If we want to die, we can only go to a fixed place to burn paper money. Everyone says this is a village custom, but I don’t believe it. But one person’s power is limited.”

Du Mingxian was deeply troubled. Her guesses were all correct; she couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood in what the woman in front of her was saying, so she could only listen quietly.

At this point, Tiger's mother sat up a little excitedly. "I'll tell you everything I know. Can you help me take Niu Niu away? Just give her something to eat. She can work. When she grows up, you can find her a good man to marry. If she doesn't want to marry, as long as she can support herself, that's fine."

"Okay." Du Mingxian didn't hesitate for long; she could see the excitement in Hu Zi's mother.

Tiger's mother seemed relieved. "Thank you. I'll tell you where that address is."

Du Mingxian realized that she might need Hu Zi's mother's help next. "If you want me to protect Niu Niu, you have to let me take Niu Niu away first."

"Okay, I believe you." Tiger's mother said she believed him, but she... she had no other choice. If there were any other way, she wouldn't want to hand her child over to someone she didn't know very well.

Now she can only believe that the woman in front of her is kind, that she can keep her promise, and that she can protect Niu Niu.

"Are you aware that there are always people guarding the entrance to your village?"

"I don't know." Tiger's mother shook her head. "There are still people guarding the village entrance?"

"Yes, you are very skilled. Now I can tell you everything you know."

Tiger's mother recalled carefully, "I married into this family ten years ago. My parents died early, and my brother thought I was in the way, so he sold me here when I was fourteen."

"Tiger's father was all alone at the time. He said his parents had died early, so the two of us lived together."

"Everyone in the village is working outside, saying they're digging some kind of hole or something. If I dare to ask for details, Tiger's father will scold me for being a woman and meddling in other people's business."

"I got pregnant with Tiger a year later. Tiger's father was good to me for two years, but he often went out to work and was rarely at home. The money he brought back was just enough for Tiger and me to live on."

"A few years later, I had Niu Niu. The year I gave birth to Niu Niu, while I was still in my postpartum period, someone from the village came back and told me that Hu Zi's father had died."

“I wanted to go and see, but the aunt in the village stopped me and said that the person was already dead. I was still in my postpartum period and had two children to take care of. I must take good care of myself.”

"That's how it happened. Someone brought me back some of the money that Tiger's father had earned, but I never saw the person again. It's common for men in the village to have accidents while working away from home."

“I accept my fate and will raise my two children well. When Niu Niu was two years old, she had a high fever once, and the barefoot doctor in the village who knew medicine gave her some medicine.”

“But Niu Niu’s fever wouldn’t go down, and I was so worried that I carried her to the county overnight. After Niu Niu’s fever broke in the county, I was thinking of going back when I saw Hu Zi’s father.”

"It was then that I learned that he hadn't really died, but had faked his death, and that all the people who had died in the village were living in a valley."

“There were many people there, and there were also people guarding the valley. It took me a long time to spot those people and the dead children from the village.”

“There is a forbidden area in the village, which is the ravine behind the village. It is said that there are snakes in it, and the villagers are not allowed to go there. Many people who have been to that ravine have died.”

"But they all appeared in another valley. I... am in poor health, which is why my brother disliked me back then and sold me to marry someone early on."

“After coming here, I had two more children, and now I feel my health is getting worse. I have to think about my two children, so... I asked Tiger to perform well.”

"Tiger is all grown up now, and he can learn anything I teach him. After I gave him some instructions, I told him to show off his cleverness in front of the village chief. One day, Tiger came back and told me..."

“The village chief’s third son invited him to go to the forbidden area. I knew things had gone well. I was happy for Hu Zi, but also worried for him. It’s not that I didn’t think of having Hu Zi take Niu Niu with him.”

“But that won’t work. They value boys more and don’t really care about girls. They might even do something worse, so I gave up on that idea.”

“I was truly heartbroken and worried when Tiger left, but I knew that Tiger had a way to survive, while the people who stayed in this village… probably really didn’t have a way to survive.”

"I want to find a way out for Niu Niu." At this point, Tiger's mother stared at Du Mingxian very solemnly and said, "I believe you are Niu Niu's way out."

Du Mingxian believed that the ravine must be hiding a secret.

Tell me the location of the valley.

"I don't know the exact location, but I can tell you how to get there."

"Okay, you tell me, I'll draw."

Tiger's mother was surprised to see Du Mingxian take out a piece of paper and a pen without a head from her sleeve, but she didn't say anything. She carefully recalled the road she had traveled and remembered the signs at each intersection.

After saying that, Tiger's mother didn't forget to remind everyone, "You must be careful."

"Do not worry."

Such an important secret, Tiger's mother just gave it to him like that, Du Mingxian was a little worried that it was a trap. "Niu Niu, when do you plan to let me take her away?"

“Niu Niu is still young, and I haven’t told her these things, but… I want to say goodbye to her.”

Give me a time.

"tomorrow morning."

"Tonight, I'll come over and take her away. You can tell everyone she's sick. If she suddenly disappears, it will arouse suspicion."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Du Mingxian left. Although she had made arrangements with Hu Zi's mother, she was still uneasy and her heart was constantly in her throat.

That night, she quietly went to Tiger's house. Tiger's mother was still awake and waiting for her.

"I'm entrusting the child to you." Tiger's mother placed the sleeping Niu Niu into Du Mingxian's arms, then knelt down with a thud and kowtowed twice to Du Mingxian. "Thank you."

Du Mingxian knew she was seriously ill. "You should get up and rest. I will take good care of her."

If everything Tiger's mother said is true, and things progress quickly and the matter is over, she will try to save Tiger's mother.

After carrying Niu Niu out of Hu Zi's house, she fed the little girl a sleeping potion. Once she was unconscious, she quickly sent her into her spatial dimension.

Today she went to the village entrance again, and there was still no one guarding it. She left the village and went to the place where she had left her things... No one took them. She was a little worried that the message she sent out might have been intercepted.

With no one to take over, she couldn't wake Niu Niu up in the space; she could only leave Niu Niu in a coma.
