Chapter 256 The Cabbage at Home Was Taken Away
The town of Rongjing in southern Texas.
Young Terra quietly climbed into her bedroom through the back window.
His heart was pounding as he thought about his discovery today.
This is a major discovery. It feels great to have someone supporting you. Sister, you have found the right person. I will keep it a secret for you!
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded at the door, startling him: "Where have you been?"
It was his mother, the town's sheriff, Summer.
At this moment, she was leaning against the door frame, her arms folded across her chest, looking at her little son with an angry look on her face. It was obvious that she had seen the entire process of Terra climbing through the window just now.
My daughter ran away from home in a fit of anger, and my youngest son is also disobedient. Now he has learned to climb through the window. He must have learned it from my daughter's gangster boyfriend. It's so infuriating.
"I went to see Josh."
Seeing her mother's unhappy expression, Terra quickly confessed.
"What did I tell you? Don't go looking for him again! An old man, why would he raise any other animals but a house full of spiders! If he hadn't taken the initiative to move out of town, I would have brought people to destroy all of his furry little guys! They will become trouble sooner or later!"
"Mom, maybe you are right. His spider has grown huge. We are really in danger. We must notify the whole town!"
Shaman looked at her son suspiciously.
This son is good in every way: he loves to study and is quiet. He just likes insects and likes to deal with an old man in the town who raises spiders.
Every time I tell him he never changes and thinks there's nothing wrong with keeping spiders, why does he change his attitude now?
But spiders infesting the entire town? Notifying everyone? That's outrageous!
"You must have watched too much TV! I don't want to hear your fantasies influenced by TV," said Shaman angrily. "Also, you are grounded for two weeks, and you are not allowed to watch TV!"
Seeing that her mother didn't believe her, Taila quickly explained: "Oh, Mom, I didn't lie. My sister also knows about this. She and her boyfriend went to the mine to check..."
But he quickly covered his mouth halfway through his words, but it was too late. His mother Shaman came up to him in a few steps, stared at him and asked:
"Have you seen Ashley? She's back? This crazy girl actually dared to run away from home! I was too lax with you two!"
Samantha was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.
Seeing that her mother was really angry, Terra shuddered all over and quickly sat down on the bed obediently, acting like a good and sensible person, for fear that the anger would spread to herself and harm herself, a small fish in the pond.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Shaman turned her head and looked at her son in confusion, and asked uncertainly:
"You mean her boyfriend, Brett? No, after Ashley left, I went to look for that guy, and he wasn't with Ashley. You're lying to me, aren't you?
Brett is not a good guy either, he is just like his father Wade, both are bastards!"
"No, it was another one!" Terra waved her hands quickly. "He was from another place, very handsome and cool. He recognized it as a Sydney funnel-web spider just by its one leg. No one else in town could do that except Josh and me. He said he wanted to go to the mine where I found the spider's leg. I wanted to go, but he wouldn't let me, saying it was too dangerous. My sister took him there."
"Foreigner? Very handsome?!" Shaman's face changed drastically.
"Oh, damn it, I shouldn't have let her go! Ashley is only 18 years old, don't follow my old path!"
Shaman paced back and forth in the room frantically. Suddenly she stopped and said to Terra:
"I'm going to find your sister, Terra, you stay at home, if anyone wants to see me, just tell them I'm busy and ask them to call again in the afternoon!"
Terra nodded, and Shaman turned and walked out of her son's room, heading back to her room to change into her uniform.
If that kid is obedient, I will be Ashley's mother. If he is not obedient, I will be the sheriff of the small town. Humph, kid, congratulations, you get a three-day trip to the jail!
At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open. Before anyone entered, a voice came in:
"No need, Mom, I'm back!"
It's Ashley.
"You actually knew to come back!"
Samantha looked at her daughter. Fortunately, the clothes were intact. Oh, no, these were not her daughter’s original clothes. Oh no!
"I'm worried about your recent behavior. Your rebellious behavior may cause trouble."
"Mom, I'm not like you. We took protective measures every time. Besides, he's a pastor. It's impossible for him to be as irresponsible as your ex-husband!"
"What, you slept with a priest!" Summer's voice rose an octave.
"He's a trainee pastor!" Ashley defended herself weakly, but there was no confidence in her voice. She also knew that Bourne would never stay in this town for her, nor would he take her away.
But it doesn’t matter, I will pick up the knowledge from textbooks again. I’m going to New York. That’s it!
Samantha was so angry that her hair stood on end. She turned around and glared at her little son Terra who was peeking through the crack in the door, scaring him so much that he quickly closed the door.
Shaman suppressed her anger and whispered:
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? Do you know who he is?"
Ashley's expression was quite natural. She looked at her mother calmly, knowing what she meant, and said:
"He's from New York, and he's going on a business trip to the South. I know he won't be here for long, but I don't care, Mom. I will study hard and get into New York. Even if it weren't for him, I would go to the big city to see it and live there. I won't be like you, getting pregnant at the age of 16 and then being the sheriff of this small town for the rest of my life!"
Looking at the determined expression on her daughter's face, Shaman couldn't help but think of herself back then.
Maybe my parents looked at me the same way back then, but I wasn’t as opinionated as my daughter Ashley.
She confirmed in a hoarse voice: "This is not what you think, you will never think of this!"
Ashley nodded and said, "Yes, Bourne told me all about his situation. I volunteered. He said: The world is so big, a girl like me should go see it, but the world is very dangerous, so I have to be prepared before setting off. Knowledge and experience are my best friends. He told me to study hard and try to get into New York University!"
"But, Mom, there are more important things to do now!"
"What's the matter?" Shaman was still angry and didn't pay any attention.
"Something may have gone wrong in the mine. We must notify the townspeople immediately and temporarily leave the town to a safe place!"
"You are crazy!"
Shaman stared at her daughter with a serious face in amazement.
"No, I'm not crazy, here's the proof!"
As she spoke, Ashley took out a half-meter-long tube-like object from the small bag at her waist.
"what is this?"
Shaman looked at the thing with disdain. It was yellow and black, with a pointed end and a hollow end, and its surface was covered with disgusting fluff.
"This is the part of the shell that the Sydney funnel-web spider sheds. Look, Mom, I wasn't kidding you!"
Terra opened the door and ran out of the house, shouting excitedly. He had been eavesdropping on their conversation in the house.
"Is this what your new boyfriend told you? Where is he now?"
"The McCormick Mine."
"Isn't that place abandoned? Why is he going there?"
"Mom, have you forgotten that Mrs. McComey's son Chris came home a few days ago, and you stared at his butt for so long and didn't notice?"
"Let's get down to business!"
"Bourne suspected that the spider was in the mine, and Chris happened to be planning to reopen the mine, so they went to check it out together."
They didn't know that the two people far away in the mine were also in trouble at this time.
