Chapter 47:
The top search result for "Mother Hen Mountain" was starkly titled:
{Mother Hen Mountain Murder Case}
After clicking and reading the details, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
"Hiss!"
The villa owner and his entire family had been killed by home-invading thieves.
This was way too terrifying.
Even though it happened ten years ago, the netizens still felt chills after reading it.
Mother Hen Mountain was no longer clean!
Especially that villa—it must be incredibly eerie.
Going during the day might be okay, but at night? Wasn't this just asking to be scared to death?
{Wuwuwu! Tang Yu, don't court death! If my wives die, it's on you!} {No way! You're actually going to a cursed place like Mother Hen Mountain just for streaming content? What if something happens?!} {Even though Hu Tao works in funerals… I'm still super worried!} {They say if someone dies with resentment, they stay in the world as vengeful ghosts! That villa definitely has evil spirits! Don't go!} {.....}
Almost unanimously, netizens didn't want Tang Yu's group to go to Mother Hen Mountain.
Although streaming there would be thrilling, they didn't want Hu Tao and Silver Wolf to take the risk.
The mountain was creepy—who knew what could happen? Even without ghosts, what if they ran into wild cats or dogs?
At this point, Silver Wolf had already turned the phone camera toward herself and Hu Tao.
"Thank you for your concern, but we have to go. I was the one who insisted," Hu Tao said with a playful smile, explaining to the viewers.
This stunned the chat.
They had always assumed this was Tang Yu's idea. After all, he was the main streamer—wanting crazy content for views made sense.
But if Hu Tao was the one suggesting it… that changed the flavor a bit.
{No way! Hu Tao wife, aren't you scared of ghosts?} {Wuwu! Silver Wolf doesn't seem scared either! Why are they so calm?!} {Hu Tao wife, listen to me—just come to my house instead of Mother Hen Mountain!} {...}
Hu Tao saw the viewers still trying to persuade her and felt a bit speechless.
Silver Wolf noticed and quickly spoke to the chat: "Everyone, don't worry—Sister Hu Tao is a funeral director!"
"If there really are ghosts in the villa, Sister Hu Tao would be thrilled. Why would she be scared?"
Her words caused a brief silence in the live room.
Moments later, the barrage came flooding back.
{Fine! Whatever wives say goes!} {Haha! Why am I suddenly looking forward to this? LOL crying!} {Ghost house + 2D beauties—who wouldn't want to watch?!} {Support! I wanna see if my funeral-director wife actually has real skills.} {Hehe! They're not scared, so why are we worrying? Geez.} {.....}
Half an hour later, Tang Yu parked the car at the foot of Mother Hen Mountain.
The road up the mountain hadn't been maintained in years—driving up wasn't wise.
Fortunately, heaven was giving Tang Yu's trio face tonight: the moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by countless twinkling stars.
Barring any surprises, there wouldn't be thick clouds tonight.
"Let's go!" Tang Yu turned on his phone's flashlight and led the way. Silver Wolf followed closely behind, while Hu Tao brought up the rear, holding her phone.
They carefully made their way up the steps toward the villa halfway up the mountain.
What they didn't know was— the moment they stepped onto the mountain, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness at the foot of the hill.
He pulled out a walkie-talkie, held it to his mouth, and said flatly: "Three rats spotted. Eliminate them all."
Back to Tang Yu's group—
As they climbed the steps, they started feeling something was off.
"Huh? Wasn't this place abandoned for years? Why are the steps so clean?" Tang Yu asked as he walked, finding it strange.
Logically, steps no one used should be overgrown with weeds.
But these steps were noticeably clean— it didn't look like no one had been here!
"Yeah! I think it's weird too."
"Maybe someone's living inside."
Silver Wolf looked down at the path and scanned the surroundings, speaking softly.
She was a detail-oriented person. Tang Yu noticed the clean steps; she thought one layer deeper.
Could someone already be living in the villa?
In this world, there was a group called "donkey friends" (驴友 = hardcore hikers/adventurers). They specialized in climbing remote, rarely visited mountains. If they found an abandoned villa, they'd move right in without any hesitation.
Hu Tao, walking at the very back, gave a devilish smile. She said casually: "Just keep walking. Whether it's people or ghosts, we're not afraid!"
Hearing this, Tang Yu and Silver Wolf felt much more at ease and sped up their climb.
Meanwhile, the viewers in the live room were already starting to go numb!
They never expected Hu Tao and Silver Wolf to be so completely unfazed.
{So badass! The quiet surroundings are already creepy just watching on stream—and they're not scared at all!} {My wives are really brave! But still—be careful!} {These steps are clean—probably people come here sometimes. No need to be too scared!} {.......}
The viewers kept chatting while watching the barrage.
Just then, a faint light appeared in the stream footage.
The villa halfway up the mountain… actually had its lights on.
The next moment, the live room went completely black.
Viewers were dumbfounded!
What just happened?
They were at a loss for a moment.
{Should we call the police, everyone?} {What… what happened? Why did the stream suddenly go black?} {Maybe bad signal? There are lights in the villa—should be fine.} {Yeah! What's there to worry about? Probably just phone died or no signal.} {.....}
Some viewers who were originally going to call the police quickly saw others explaining and gave up the idea.
On the other side—
Hu Tao looked at her phone and said helplessly: "How come there's no signal halfway up the mountain?"
Silver Wolf took the phone, her expression grave.
"Signal's being jammed. There's someone in the villa," she said.
Tang Yu frowned, debating whether to go in, when a tall beauty in black stockings approached them with graceful, swaying steps. Her voice was extremely seductive:
"Handsome guys, pretty girls—come on Let's play together!"
