The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 722

"Mommy, do you want to bust the ghost? I have runes."

Zion poked his head out and took out a yellow paper from his small bag. The paper was filled with runes that were written in cinnabar.

Mango couldn't help but find it a little funny. She reached her hand out and gently tapped his forehead.

"You've gone mad watching TV, haven't you? Where did you get this thing from?"

"An old lady from the Pickwick Lodge Farm gave it to me. She said it can ward off evil spirits."

Zion held his head as he pouted and spoke in an aggrieved manner.

Mango and Noah couldn't help but be stunned.

"The landlady of Pickwick Lodge Farm? Why didn't I recognize that she is a shaman?"

Henry smiled and said, "Mrs. Ye, she's not a shaman. It's almost the Harvest Festival and we have this rule here. We can create some runes and take them with us to keep us safe. It's a kind of psychological comfort to drive out ghosts and evil spirits. It's also some kind of custom."

"I wouldn't have noticed that it is almost time for theHarvest Festival if you hadn't mentioned it."

Mango sighed with emotion.

It had been more than half a year since they came back from the United States. Her relationship with Nathaniel had also stabilized. It was just that they never expected so many hardships to be waiting forthem.

Mango patted Zion's head and said, "Did you say thank you to the old lady?"

"Of course, I'm a polite and well-mannered child."

Zion said very proudly.

They arrived at the back of the cave as they were chatting and laughing.

This place had little sunlight and it looked a little sinister. Besides, there were weeds all around, and they were very tall. In fact, they were almost taller than Mango's waist.

She could not help but feel a little worried.

"Will there be anything within such tall weeds?"

"It's okay. We have the pills."

Mango found Zion's words to be ridiculously funny.

Then, Noah suddenly noticed something.

"Come here, guys. Is this a sign that earth here

has been moved?"

With Zion in her arms, Mango hurriedly walked over together with Henry after she heard what Noah said.

The weeds here had been cleared and there was a small mound of soil. It seemed to have been dug up not long ago, or perhaps...

"Is this Aiden's tomb?"

Mango made a bold guess.

Henry thought about it carefully and said, "It should be. I only heard from my parents said that it is in the rear of Lothaneland. He could only be buried here because he's not someone from the village. Only people from the village would be buried facing the sun."

"The soil here has been touched. It's very fresh."

Noah squatted down and reached for a handful of dirt to observe.

Then, Mango's heart suddenly ached.

"Could Nathan be buried here?"

"It's impossible. How could Mr. Ye be buried in the ground? He is so skilled."

As soon as Zion finished speaking, he saw Mango's gaze fixed at him. There was a hint of unhappiness and anger in her eyes.

He quickly covered his mouth and whispered,

"Sorry, mommy, I just don't think Mr. Ye will be hurt."

"There is no absolute certainty in the world. Don't be blinded by your arrogance and self-confidence."

Mango wasn't trying to criticize Zion, it was just that the fear in her heart was very strong.

"No, I have to dig here. I can only leave this place in peace after I do that."

Mango squatted down and began to remove the soil with her hands after she finished her words.

"Mrs. Ye, we have a shovel. Zion's brought one."

Henry couldn't help but feel touched by Mango's actions.

Mango recalled that Zion had brought a lot of things with him when he left the house. It was lucky that she did not have the time to ask him to put them back at the time.

"Give it to me."

"Let me do it. You wouldn't know how to handle it if there really is a person buried alive here. Don't injure Nathan."

Mango paused for a moment after hearing Noah's words. She then nodded silently and stood to the side. However, her chest was still tightly clenched.

Could it be Nathaniel?

Logically speaking, Nathaniel wouldn't be buried as he was very good at self- defense. However, Mango felt that she had no guarantees here.

Noah's movements were much more professional than Mango's.

After some digging, Mango saw the hem of someone's clothes and she was frightened when she saw this.

"Nathan!"

She ran there, ignoring Zion, Noah, and the others who tried to stop her. She dug the dirt like crazy.

It didn't take long for the person inside to be pulled out. However, it wasn't Nathaniel, but Aiden.
