A Walk into the mountains
Chapter 7
Looking at the kids who turned pale at her question Su Ying felt exasperated. Glancing at them she went back into the kitchen to continue. The children immediately sighed in relief and started muttering in hushed tones. Thanks second walked up to the first with tears in his eyes " Brother do you think she is planning something bad. She has been quiet since she woke up?". Deep in thought he glanced at the woman busy with something in the kitchen a strange glint flashed through his eyes. Turning back to look at his brother he patted his head while consoling him "Don't worry, dad is here and if she tries anything bad I will kill her". A fierce glint flashed through his eyes but was quickly suppressed. They both left the house to look for what to eat.
Inside the kitchen Su Ying was only able to find some wild vegetables and prepared it to hold her belly. After devouring the food and resting a bit she regained a bit strength and decided to clean up the kitchen. First she disposed all the rubbish littered everywhere, washed the pots and plates then wiped the tables and the floor. By the time she was done it was almost 7pm and there were no sight of son and father duo. Sighing she decided to take a bath in her space. Flashing in there she didn't waste time and was done immediately. Her clothes were only but a few which were already dirty leaving her with no option but to wear it back. She came out and noticed that it was only a minute in the normal world. Su Ying made her way outside and was stunned. The green of the mountain,the natural and fresh breeze or the smoke rising from each household was fascinating to her. In her previous life she was always busy barely having time to look after herself or admiring the city around her. Now seeing this scenery made her happy and she couldn't help but greedily breathe in more air. After standing there for a while she decided to walk up the mountains. She was searching for any thing that could make her rich or even fill herself with food. Looking around it was obvious that she had to venture deeper if she wanted to find any of this mountain treasures like in the books. Su Ying looked at the dark sky and decided against it. She decided to come back tomorrow to check it out.
On her way back she could hear the laughter of children and chattering of adults which made her a bit envious. Her own home was cold as ice showing no intention of melting. Oh well, she would try her best then and leave the rest to fate. Arriving at her house she was met with silence but she opened the door to find her husband in the kitchen cooking and the kids helping. They'll looked up both seeing her all peace vanished. Her husband spoke first " I'm surprised you came back here I thought you were gone" a mocking smile on his lips. Saying that he didn't spare her any glance. Su Ying stood there for some time but seeing no one looking at her she could only sigh and go back to her room to rest.
