"Well, I do have some personal matters and I want to take a few days off, but the company is so busy now..."
"What are you busy with! Don't we have Sister Jiang and I in the company? And now that everything has been settled, we only need to hold a few video conferences in the next few days."
"Sister Xiaowei, can you tell me something private?"
Ye Qingcheng said with concern.
"It's not a big deal. Isn't my dad always in Jiangcheng during this time? Something happened over the border recently, and he may need to return to the team, so I want to take him to pay homage to my mother before he returns to the team."
When Yang Wei mentioned her mother, her expression became solemn.
"Yes! In addition, I also asked for leave to accompany you to pay homage to your aunt. We have known each other for so many years and have supported each other. I must offer incense to my aunt."
"Qingcheng, the following work meeting is very important. You cannot miss it. If something unexpected happens, the consequences will be serious. We will have many opportunities in the future."
"The future is the future, not to mention it's just a video conference, there won't be any delays."
Ye Qingcheng insisted.
"No, my mother is buried in the mountains of my hometown. There is no signal there. In previous years, when I went back to pay homage, you thought I had been missing for a few days and almost called the police."
"Well, this is troublesome!"
Ye Qingcheng was anxious for a while and suddenly said: "In this way, let Su Li and Ye Jiao accompany you and let them know the way. If it's inconvenient for you if you don't have time in the future, I can ask Su Li to take me there."
"Ah, this..."
"That's it. I believe Auntie can understand it."
Ye Qingcheng didn't give Yang Wei a chance to refuse.
Especially now that Su Li is insisting on going to work, going back to the mountains with Yang Wei to breathe fresh air and broaden his horizons will also be helpful for his recovery.
"Don't you ask Su Li?"
Yang Wei really hoped that Su Li would accompany her back.
"I will tell him and Xiaojiao when I get back in the evening that you will set off together tomorrow. Xiaojiao is a strong martial artist. Taking care of Su Li will not cause you any trouble."
"That's it!"
Ye Qingcheng felt much more relaxed. Su Li was her husband, so it was very suitable for her to care about her on her behalf.
In the evening, when Ye Qingcheng returned home, he mentioned this matter to Su Li.
By the way, I also called Ye Jiao.
Su Li pretended to be pretentious, but Ye Qingcheng held him down and had to agree.
The next day, Ye Qingcheng watched Su Li and Ye Jiao drive out and felt relieved.
"Brother-in-law, your acting skills are really good. You haven't been alone with Sister Xiaowei for a long time, haven't you? Are you very happy?"
Ye Jiao said with a smile.
"Drive your car well and go to the base later to practice hard. If I don't see you improving when I come back, just wait to be hung up and beaten."
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong!"
After Ye Jiao arrived at the base, Su Li took over the Mercedes-Benz G and drove such a large off-road vehicle into the mountains. Not to mention how fun it was.
"Uncle Yang."
Yang Minghuo stood at the door early in the morning waiting for Su Li.
"Xiao Su, please drive away."
"No trouble, I've already wanted to pay homage to my aunt."
"What are you talking about?"
Yang Wei came out carrying a backpack. When she saw her father and Su Li chatting happily, her smile became even sweeter.
"I'm talking to Uncle Yang. When will I come to your house to marry you?"
"Tch! Don't be ashamed!"
Yang Wei didn't expect Su Li to be so bold.
However, the fact that he was able to chat so animatedly with his father showed that his father truly accepted Su Li.
"Haha! Xiaowei, just take a car with Xiaosu, and I will drive behind."
"oh?"
"Su Li, don't get me wrong. My dad will drive directly to the border then, so as not to have to come back again."
Su Li nodded: "That's fine! The border has not been peaceful recently, so it's appropriate for Uncle Yang to be recalled."
"Well, I know everything. I still have to go through the motions."
There was something in Yang Minghuo's words. The news about foreign powerful men entering the Dragon Kingdom, combined with the battle that broke out on the provincial capital road yesterday, all of this was aimed at Su Lilai.
"Then let's set off first."
"good."
Two large off-road vehicles drove out of the villa area and headed towards the mountains.
After five hours of driving on highways and national roads, the car finally entered a mountain road.
The cement road here is very small, but vehicles can only enter and exit during the Chinese New Year and festivals, so there is no difficulty in meeting cars.
After another two hours of walking on the mountain road, approaching four o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them arrived deep in the mountains, at a place called Niejia Village.
There are only a dozen households in the village, and most people have gone out to work, with only a few older generations staying in the village.
Yang Wei has not been back for a long time, but the old people greeted her very happily when they saw her.
"Xiaowei, did you live here when you were a child?"
"Well, I can remember this since I was three years old. My mother was very ill at that time. When I was more than four years old, I went to the city with my mother to see a doctor, but she couldn't bring me back."
Yang Wei's eyes turned red when she mentioned what happened that year.
If the director of the welfare home had not passed by the hospital entrance at that time, he would not have been able to move his mother's body...
"It's all my fault!"
After listening to his daughter's story, Yang Minghuo couldn't help but shed tears.
If he had been tougher, stronger, and pursued his wife relentlessly, so many things might not have happened, resulting in him and his daughter not seeing each other for more than 20 years.
"Dad, this is not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame it on God. God's will plays tricks on people."
Yang Wei was very open-minded and quickly adjusted her state so as not to affect Su Li and her father.
"Come on, Xiaowei, take us to the house where you lived when you were a child."
Su Li reminded.
After passing through the village, the three of them came to a high slope. Nie Xiaolan's house was built on the slope, about fifty or sixty meters away from the village.
After arriving at the place, Yang Wei was surprised on the spot because the house was made entirely of wood. After twenty or thirty years of changes, it collapsed.
"Hey, I asked someone to reinforce the wood the year before last, but it still collapsed."
The scene was in a mess, and Yang Wei helplessly lamented that this was the only memory she had of living with her mother, Nie Xiaolan.
"It's okay. Let's build another house and enshrine the souls of the Nie family's ancestors, as well as your mother's. She has been hurt by the Yang family her whole life. I don't want her to enter the Yang family's ancestral temple."
The Yang family has always valued this, and Yang Minghuo secretly decided that before going to the border, he would first go to the magic city and sever all ties with the Yang family!
When I die in the future, I will be buried with my wife and share the same spiritual place with her!
Su Li looked at it for a while and frowned: "Uncle Yang, have you noticed a weak aura?"
"What breath?"
"The atmosphere of heretical martial arts permeates under the collapsed house."
"Martial arts aura?"
Yang Minghuo couldn't understand, how could this remote mountain have the aura of a warrior?
Could it be that this house was destroyed by warriors?
"Yes, it is Wuxi, and it does not exist for a long time. This house may collapse within these three days."
