Chapter 71: He Almost Called the Police
The greedy ghost in her arms only giggled and chirped, rubbing against Yun Qin’s collar even more intimately.
Of course, they couldn’t go back the way they came. It was easy to go down into this valley, but difficult to go up. Moreover, Yun Qin didn’t want to go near that strange cave. She had some psychological trauma from earlier.
Regarding the various strange arrangements in the cave, the hidden ghost elder couldn’t answer. He only said that there was a rather large tomb inside.
As for the secret of this tomb, she would just let it go. Without the allure of the Soul Bead, the evil energy in Black Bear Ridge would not be as thick as it was in the past.
The hidden ghosts told Yun Qin that there were two ways to get to the other side of the mountain. One was to go through the secret passage in the tomb. This was what the two playful little hidden ghosts told Yun Qin.
However, Yun Qin immediately denied this route. Ghosts may be able to travel through that route but a living person might not be able to. Moreover, there were so many skeletons in the cave. Even if she was once a ghost, out of sympathy, she still could not walk through the cave as if nothing happened.
The other way was to go through the forest and go around the side of the mountain.
But before Yun Qin could leave, she still had one more thing to do.
“Your name is Hu Luo. You were about 20 or 30 years old when you died. Your home shouldn’t be far from here. You don’t have any relatives, right? Did you have a lover?”
Yun Qin sorted out the information in Hu Luo’s memory and asked.
“I don’t remember. But I’m such a beautiful woman. I must have a lover, right?”
The tree spirit shook its branches and replied.
It asked Yun Qin to find Hu Luo’s family so they can finally bury her body properly.
“After all, it’s all thanks to her that I, Hu Luo, am ere,” the tree spirit said.
However, it was difficult to find Hu Luo’s family and friends. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Yun Qin found a key piece of information embroidered on the back of Hu Luo’s clothes that the tree spirit carefully preserved: a patch that had the words Meida Studio stitched on it.
If that was the case, Hu Luo was an employee at Meida studio. Was she here because of work?
With this information, it would be much easier to find her family. Yun Qin was relieved. She bid farewell to the tree spirit and set off on her journey.
“Sigh, with her gone, I don’t have anyone to talk to again.”
The human face on the trunk looked in Yun Qin’s direction with some sadness
A moment later, the entire forest returned to silence, as if nothing happened.
By the time Yun Qin climbed halfway up the mountain using a tree branch as a walking stick and saw the small road, the sun was already setting.
She looked like a wild ghost that just climbed out of a grave.
Yun Qin felt that with what she experienced, even though she may not be an expert at outdoor survival if she were to participate in a wilderness survival show, she would definitely win first place.
When Yun Qin got into her car and drove back, she saw the sign “Black Bear Ridge Mine Enter Here” again. After she drove out of the small road and back onto the road, Yun Qin immediately felt the eerie cool feeling on her body dissipate.
What followed was the dry summer heat.
Yun Qin felt that this trip took her ten days to half a month. However, in reality, it had only been two days and one night.
Yun Qin picked up her phone and wanted to confirm the time Song Yin’s flight was landing.
If she remembered correctly, he should be arriving in Beijing at 9:30 am tomorrow, right?
However, when she turned on her phone, she saw countless calls from her father and brother.
There was even a message from her friend, Jiang mo, that said “Yun Qin, where did you go? Your brother said that you’ve been gone for a day and a night. He’s about to call the police.”
Yun Qin then remembered that before she entered Black Bear Ridge, she forgot to tell her family about her whereabouts.
Her brother and father were probably worried to death.
Yun Qin rubbed her neck in frustration and immediately called her brother, Yun Jin.
“Hello, brother. Yes, it’s me. I’m not missing. Sigh, I went on a camping trip. My emotions are very stable. I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry.”
Yun Qin was almost forced into tears by Yun Jin’s barrage of questions. She could only quickly hang up the phone and rush home.
By the time she got home, she could smell food wafting out from every household.
The moment Yun Qin entered the house, her father and brother were shocked by her appearance.
Yun Jin was so shocked that he dropped the television remote in his hand. He stared at Yun Qin with his mouth agape and said, “Good god, you lass, how did you end up like this?”
Yun Zhao also had a look of disbelief on his face, as if he was meeting his daughter for the first time.
Yun Qin looked at her tattered clothes and her hair which was covered with branches, grass, leaves, and soil, and felt a little embarrassed.
