On an Acid Rainy Day, My Nephew Insisted on Going Hiking
Chapter 3
I did not feel anything, and I couldn't even help but laugh.
"Wait a minute. When the rain stops, you can go down the mountain."
Without waiting for my dad to continue, I quickly hung up the phone. Then, I turned it off and had a good sleep.
By the time I woke up, it was already dark.
I turned on my phone and immediately received a bunch of calls. They were all from my family members.
I turned on the flight mode of the phone and got up to have dinner in the restaurant of the guesthouse.
I would just live in the guesthouse and wait for the rain to stop.
After two days, the rain finally stopped.
As soon as I came out of the guesthouse, I saw several people being carried down from the mountain.
I walked closer and saw that it was my family.
Their faces were all pale, and their eyes were closed. Only my brother could still hum in a low voice. The others were motionless, and no one knew if they were dead or not.
I hurried to the hospital. When I got there, I found that there was one person missing. My sister-in-law was missing.
I asked the rescue team and they said that they only found these people at the top of the mountain.
After the rescue, my mother and brother were out of danger. My father and nephew could not be saved and passed away.
The reason for their deaths was because they had consumed a large amount of poisonous herbs.
After my mother and brother woke up, I told them the news of my father and nephew's death.
My mother burst into tears, while my brother pointed at my nose and cursed.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't taken away the bag, we wouldn't have picked up the wild herbs, and our father and Bob wouldn't have been poisoned! You should be the one to die. Why don't you go to hell?"
I looked at him coldly and said, "My sister-in-law was missing. Do you know that?"
My brother's expression changed. It was obvious that he had known about this all along.
"Where did she go?"
“She had to pee with her back to everyone, so she ran into the woods by herself. The soil was corroded by the acid rain, and she stepped on it and rolled down the hill.”
"Then hurry up and tell the police. Maybe they can find my sister-in-law."
"It's better not to waste the police. Your sister-in-law rolled down the mountain yesterday. She's probably dead by now."
I was very surprised. "So you're going to leave her alone?!"
My brother became angry. "What can I do? I can't save her!"
I was really impressed. I thought my brother just didn't care about me, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel to his wife.
Sister-in-law rolled down the mountain and no one knew if she was dead or alive. My brother didn't let the police save her. Even if she was dead, they had to bring her body back.
Although I didn't understand my brother's behavior, I chose to respect him.
After my mother and brother were discharged from the hospital, they hastily held a funeral for my father's nephew and sister-in-law.
A few days later, my mom called me over.
"Tracy, I have something to discuss with you."
I could tell from my mother's awkward expression that it was not a good thing.
"Your brother has a new girlfriend and they are going to live together. Your new sister-in-law doesn't want so many people in the family, so she wants you to move out."
I was so angry that I laughed. "Not to mention that my sister-in-law and nephew just died, my brother is going to live with a new girlfriend so soon. Even if my brother's new girlfriend doesn't like to have a lot of family members, why should I move? I bought this house!"
"My brother heard the noise and came over. "So what if you bought it? A woman like you will get married sooner or later. This house has to be given to me!"
"Allen, I've been too good to you lately, haven't I? You can live here like this, or you can move out now!"
My brother was stunned by my roar. When he came to his senses, he was about to hit me.
"Tracy, am I treating you too nice recently?"
I wouldn't stand there and wait for him to hit me. I turned around and rushed into the kitchen, taking out a kitchen knife.
"Come on, you can try touching me today!"
