A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 456 That Place
The journey was smooth and nothing unexpected happened. When they arrived at the farm, Sophia got out of the car immediately and began to look around Lyon's farm.

This was her first time visiting Lyon's farm. Compared to her own vineyard, Lyon's farm covered a much larger area, and compared to her own garden full of grape vines, the crops in Lyon were much richer.

But when Sophia saw Lyon's cabin, she was a little surprised.

"You live in such a small house?"

"Hmm? Any objections?" Leon asked Sophia with a raised eyebrow.

"No, I just didn't expect you to live in such a simple place." Sophia replied.

It can be seen that Sophia is stating the facts rather than making sarcastic insinuations, so Leon is not angry.

"I live alone, so a smaller one makes me feel safer. Besides, this room is just a place to sleep under the cover of wind and rain. There's no point in making it so big."

“I always feel that you choose to live in such a small house because you are too lazy to clean your room.” Sophia couldn’t help but complain after listening to Leon’s answer.

"That's a good reason. I've noted it down. Next time someone asks me this, I'll answer like this." Lyon said jokingly with a smile.

"Go get the car. I want to see if you can find the treasure today." Sophia urged with a roll of her eyes.

"Ah."

Leon didn't hesitate any longer. After parking the car, he went back to the house to get the car keys, started the Beast pickup truck parked not far from the cabin, and then drove to Sophia.

"Isn't Dahuang going?" Sophia felt a little regretful when she saw that Dahuang shrank into the doghouse as soon as he came back and didn't intend to come out.

"Don't make things difficult for it if it doesn't want to go. Maybe it's carsick." Leon explained for Dahuang, but the main reason was probably that he was avoiding Sophia.

After looking at the doghouse reluctantly, Sophia finally got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, because the door Leon opened for her was the passenger door.

"Is the journey long?" Sophia couldn't help asking after fastening her seat belt in the car.

“It’s not far, it’s still within Stardew Valley, but some areas are not suitable for cycling.” Leon explained while driving.

Sophia didn't say anything this time, but just stared at the windshield with extremely high concentration, even more serious than the driver Leon.

However, Lyon drove very steadily, and the traffic on the road in Stardew Valley was actually not very heavy. After driving on the road for more than a minute, he didn't see many passing cars, which made Lyon feel quite comfortable.

After all, it is much easier to drive with fewer cars. Otherwise, faced with various incidents such as cutting in, speeding, and traffic jams, Li Xiang would probably unleash the excellent qualities that an experienced driver cannot suppress.

Lyon drove along the road until he entered a mountain tunnel and then slowed down.

The area on the map that overlaps with the treasure map is this distance. The three dotted lines where the treasure mark with an X is located actually represent this tunnel. However, because there is no exact location, Leon can only drive slowly to facilitate his observation.

After Sophia entered the tunnel, her expression became obviously abnormal.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Sophia's face was a little pale, Leon couldn't help but ask.

"I" Sophia opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter the second word for a long time. At this moment, there were two tear marks on Sophia's face.

Seeing Sophia lose her composure, Leon remembered the clue on the map that Sophia couldn't see.

"This place remembers the girl's nightmare." Originally, Leon thought that the location of this hint was the cemetery where Sophia's parents were buried, but the overlap obtained on the map made him sure that this place was not in Stardew Valley. Now, seeing the changes in Sophia, Leon thought of another possibility for this hint.

This tunnel may be the last journey of Sofia's parents before the car accident.

Thinking of this, Leon frowned, not knowing whether this was intentional or unintentional by Mr. Qi, but seeing Sophia's expression at the moment, Leon felt like turning around and leaving this area that would bring up the deepest wound in Sophia's memory.

"Why don't we go back?" But before that, Leon still had to tell Sophia, lest the girl think that Leon took her on this trip as a joke.

When Sophia heard Leon's question, she first looked at Leon in confusion, then saw the reluctance and worry on Leon's face, and instantly understood what Leon meant.

"Do you know where this place is?"

"I guessed it." Leon didn't say it explicitly. After all, it would be too cruel to explain some topics.

"Why?" Sophia asked where Leon guessed it from.

"There's a hint on the treasure map, a hint you can't see. But I tested it and found that others can see it, but you can't. The content of the hint is this: This is the memory of the girl's nightmare."

Leon continued driving while telling Sophia all the information he had concealed.

Now that things have come to this, there are some things that no longer need to be hidden.

"Then where did you get this treasure map?" Hearing this, Sophia was filled with anger.

She didn't expect that there was such a sentence on the treasure map, and it was used to describe herself, but she, the protagonist, couldn't see it clearly.

This made her feel extremely absurd, as if her life was being treated as a game by others.

"A very special and mysterious figure. Although I don't know much about him, based on what I know, I can be sure that he is one of the top people in this world."

Leon saw the changes in Sophia and couldn't help but dissuade her.

"I don't understand the meaning of his doing this, but the choice is ours. Come back with me and I'll take you to eat Grampton Orange Chicken."

"No, I want to see what this awful guy is hiding in that place!" Sophia shook her head firmly when she heard that.

"Are you sure?" Lyon confirmed helplessly after hearing this.

"I'm sure." Sophia nodded, then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and swore firmly.

"If this guy leaves something bad behind at the finish line, I'll make him pay the price even if it costs me everything!"

"Ugh"

Leon sighed and said nothing more, just continued driving.

After all, he couldn't guess what Mr. Qi's plans and arrangements were. Perhaps the truth would only be revealed after the treasure was found.
