Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 720

"Mommy, will we hunt ghosts? I have runes."

Lucas took out some yellow papers with runes drawn on them.

Nicole couldn't help but laugh. She stretched out her hand and gently tapped his forehead.

"Do you think we are filming a movie? Where did these come from?"

"The old lady in the farm house gave them to me. She said that these can ward off evil spirits."

Lucas pouted and said.

Nicole and Blair couldn't help but be stunned.

"The owner of the farmhouse? Why couldn't I tell that she was a witch?"

Trevin smiled and said, "Mrs. Green, she is not a witch. Since the Day of the Dead is coming, we have this tradition here. We will take some papers with runes on them along the way to expel ghosts and ward off evil spirits. It can be considered as a kind of psychological comfort and also a custom."

"I didn't even notice it if you didn't tell me. Indeed, the Day of the Dead is coming."

Nicole sighed.

It had been more than half a year since she returned from the United States, and her relationship with Samuel had stabilized. However, she did not expect that there would still be so many tribulations ahead.

Nicole touched Lucas’ head and said, "Did you say thank you to that old lady?"

"Of course, I am a polite and cultured child."

Lucas said proudly.

They arrived at the back of the cave while talking.

This place was a bit gloomy. The weeds around were very tall, and they almost covered Nicole's waist.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"There can't be anything dangerous in those weeds, right?"

"Don't worry. We have pills."

Nicole forced a smile.

Suddenly, Blair discovered something.

"Come over and see if this place has been dug up."

Hearing this, Nicole hurriedly walked over with Lucas in her arms.

The weeds here had already been mown. There was a small soil mound. It seemed that it was made not long ago, or....

"Could this be Johnnie's grave?"

Nicole guessed.

Trevin thought carefully and said, "It should be. I heard from my parents that it was in the shade behind the mountain. Because he was not from this town, he could only stay here. As for the people in our town who died, they were buried in the direction of the sunrise."

"It's a newly-made mound."

Blair squatted down and reached out to touch the soil.

Nicole suddenly felt nervous.

"Can it be that Samuel was buried inside?"

"Impossible! Samuel was strong, how could he be buried in the ground by others?"

When Lucas finished speaking, he noticed Nicole's sharp gaze. That gaze was somewhat angry.

He quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I mean I don't think Samuel would be harmed."

"Nothing is absolute in this world. Don't let arrogance and confidence cloud your judgement."

Nicole felt extremely nervous.

"I have to dig into this. Otherwise, I can't be at ease."

After Nicole finished speaking, she crouched down and started digging with her hands.

"Mrs. Green, we have a shovel."

Seeing Nicole like this, Trevin couldn't help but be moved.

Only then did Nicole remember that Lucas brought many things when he went out. Fortunately, she didn't stop him.

"Give it to me."

"I'll do it. If there is a living person buried in it, you may hurt him."

What Blair said stunned Nicole. Then she stood aside, but she couldn't calm down.

Could it be Samuel?

Logically speaking, Samuel was so strong, so he shouldn't be buried. However, Nicole couldn't be absolutely sure.

Blair seemed more of a pro.

After a few minutes, Nicole saw the corner of someone's clothes. When she saw it, Nicole couldn't control herself any longer.

"Samuel!"

She suddenly pounced over and started digging crazily.

Not long after, the person was dig out from the ground, but it was not Samuel, but Johnnie.

Johnnie's limbs were tied by Samuel's shirt, almost suffocating.
