Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 699: Chapter 699: First Arrival in the Countryside

As expected, when Lin Mengyao heard Xu Ke say this, she didn’t have any doubts about him. She just reminded Xu Ke not to forget to bring insect repellent powder and to keep warm, and the two of them lovingly chatted over the phone, until just before hanging up, Xu Ke finally heard Lin Mengyao quickly and softly say, "Remember to come back soon, I miss you very much."

Looking at the powered-off phone, Xu Ke couldn’t help but smile while simultaneously letting out a deep sigh. He wished he could sprout wings and fly to Lin Mengyao’s side right away, but thinking about his injuries, he knew Mengyao would be upset if she found out, so he shelved the idea of returning immediately and decided to go back once he had healed.

Xu Ke didn’t deceive Lin Mengyao. He stayed in the hospital for a few days, and after confirming that his wounds weren’t infected or posing any health threats, Xu Ke then hitched a ride on a government vehicle to his destination.

This time, they were headed to a village hidden in a mountainous area at the border of Shangzhou and Jiangzhou.

In the high-rise, rapidly developing 21st century, it’s hard to imagine how people still live without electricity and rely on kerosene lamps at night. They’ve spent their entire lives in the mountain village, leading a lifestyle where they face the earth and back to the sky, self-sustaining, with not even a school in the village. You can’t see any infrastructure from the 21st century; some people even live their entire lives without an ID, dying as an unrecorded person.

If it weren’t for the local government staff accidentally encountering people from this mountain village, they wouldn’t have known there was such a place under their jurisdiction.

However, after learning about this place, the local government quickly took action. They spent several months building a road to connect the village to the outside world, but that was all they could do without financial support. Now, with Xu Ke’s financial backing, they could do much more for this mountain village, which led to the current expedition led by Xu Ke and his team.
