Chapter 4164: There’s a Dragon in Ailao Mountain
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
"Mom! Dad!"The next morning, while they were still half-asleep, they heard Little Nuonuo shouting.
Right after, they heard the sound of Little Nuonuo’s footsteps running into the bedroom and climbing onto their bed.
"What’s up..."
Ji Qingyan, with her hair all messy, pulled Little Nuonuo into the bed.
"I gave birth to a monkey."
"Gave birth to a monkey?"
"Here." Little Nuonuo took out a little monkey toy.
"It wasn’t there when I went to sleep yesterday, but when I woke up in the morning, it was in my arms."
Ji Qingyan felt a bit exasperated and kicked Lin Yi drowsily.
"What’s going on."
"Your daughter says she gave birth to a monkey, you better explain it to her."
Lin Yi reached over and hugged Little Nuonuo. "You didn’t ’give birth’ to it; Dad bought it for you and put it in your bed yesterday."
"No, I did give birth to it. I even saw it in my dream yesterday..."
Kids and their dreams, they really are all sorts...
"Fine, let’s just say you gave birth to it. You can name it."
"How about we call it Little Yellow, because it’s yellow."
"No problem. From now on, it’s your child."
With little pitter-patters, Little Nuonuo got out of bed and ran downstairs, shouting:
"Grandma, Grandpa, I have a child now."
Both of them couldn’t help but laugh, even though they felt a bit helpless.
After being disturbed by Little Nuonuo, they didn’t plan on going back to sleep. They got dressed, freshened up, and after breakfast, set out on their ways.
Lin Yi first dropped Little Nuonuo off at the kindergarten, then went to Fenglin International.
The renovation work had already been arranged, just across in unit 810.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wenhui had started working.
Lin Yi lay on the sofa, looking up information about Ailao Mountain.
Not looking at it would be fine, but what he found was indeed quite startling.
Yan Country’s No. 1 sacred mountain.
The forbidden zone of the world.
A thousand times more terrifying than Bermuda.
Various titles depicted Ailao Mountain as an extremely dangerous place, but aside from these, there was indeed some content revealing its mysteriousness; and all of it was released by official media.
Over twenty years ago, four researchers inexplicably disappeared in Ailao Mountain, and even after searching for over half a month, no trace was found.
In addition to that, in recent years, various rumors have also been circulating.
Based on this information, Ailao Mountain appeared to have genuinely become a place of terror, where anyone who dared to venture into it would be surrounded by danger.
Looking at the information on his phone, Lin Yi couldn’t discern the truth.
After all, there were indeed many mysterious places in the world that couldn’t be explained by science.
Unconsciously, Lin Yi thought back to having lunch with Lin Jingzhan that day.
At the time, he had said that he had been to Ailao Mountain when he was young and almost lost his life in there.
This indirectly confirmed the terrifying nature of Ailao Mountain.
Ring ring ring—
Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Xiao Bing.
"Lin Bro, there’s been some trouble on the Ailao Mountain side; two exploration personnel have gone missing, and they haven’t been found yet."
Lin Yi’s expression changed.
"How long have they been missing?"
"It’s been 48 hours. We can rule out overseas organizations, so it shouldn’t be their doing; they simply vanished without a trace."
"What did Boss Liu say? Has he arranged any relevant tasks?"
"No, he said there’s no need for us to intervene in this matter for the time being."
"Organize the relevant information and send it all to me."
"Got it."
After hanging up, Lin Yi fell into deep thought.
As per Xiao Bing’s account, they can rule out the three major overseas forces.
That means the accident happened during their mission, either due to a mistake on their part or an encounter with irresistible factors while inside.
But regardless, the outcome wouldn’t change, further proving that Ailao Mountain is indeed a bit eerie.
Just then, Jiang Wenhui came back after collecting rent, and upon seeing Lin Yi lying on the sofa, greeted him.
"Boss, you’re here."
Lin Yi nodded in response, but his mind was preoccupied with Ailao Mountain.
Jiang Wenhui glanced at him, "Are you reading the news about Ailao Mountain?"
Lin Yi nodded, "You know about this place too?"
"Of course I know. My family is from Nanyun Province, and this place isn’t far from my hometown village, only a few dozen kilometers away. We grew up at the foot of the mountain."
Learning about Jiang Wenhui’s background, Lin Yi was a bit surprised.
"How much do you know about this place? Tell me."
Out of habit, Jiang Wenhui tucked her hair and said:
"That place is indeed quite dangerous. I’ve heard there are wild beasts inside, and the miasma makes compasses useless; it’s easy to get lost once you’re in. But the rumors online are a bit exaggerated. Some people have successfully gone in and come back out."
"So all those stories about people going missing in there are true?"
"That’s definitely true. Have you ever watched documentaries about tropical rainforests?"
Lin Yi chuckled — not only had he seen them, but he’d also even been to one.
"I’ve seen them, why?"
"I’ve heard from elders in the family that the place is more dangerous than tropical rainforests, filled with snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Getting lost and dying in there is normal, so we shouldn’t make a big deal out of it — us ordinary folk should just stay put."
"Have you ever heard any scary rumors?"
"Scary?" Jiang Wenhui was a bit taken aback, not sure what Lin Yi meant.
"Like strange stories, ghosts, weird things, mystical tales?"
"Stories like that..."
Jiang Wenhui paused and began to think.
"Now that you mention it, there actually are. When I was little, my grandpa told us he saw a dragon in Ailao Mountain."
"A story can be bizarre, but not absurd."
Jiang Wenhui laughed, doubling over.
"We loved those stories when we were kids. My grandpa would tell them seriously, but as we grew up, we realized they were just for entertainment, to make us happy — how could there be such things."
"How did your grandpa describe it? Did he ever admit it was all made-up after you grew up?"
"No, my grandpa is stubborn and headstrong and would never admit something like that. He still insists today that all those stories were true and that he really saw a dragon in Ailao Mountain, all with a straight face," Jiang Wenhui said:
"Even now, he has great-grandchildren and still tells the stories from back then."
"How’s your grandpa’s health these days?"
"Not very good, he’s already over 90. Fortunately, he can still live independently, otherwise, we’d need someone to look after him."
"At such an old age, being able to live independently is quite an achievement."
"For us, it’s probably a blessing in disguise."
Jiang Wenhui looked at Lin Yi, "Boss, what suddenly made you interested in all this?"
