Return of the Soul

  Fifty-two reincarnations

  I don't know if this is a dream!

  Let's just call it a dream... because I feel that Uncle is going to shatter Xiaoyun's soul, only by shattering her soul can the innocent girls who were killed by Xiaoyun be freed from control and reincarnated in the six paths of transmigration, and thus be reborn.

  Uncle had no choice but to shatter Xiaoyun's soul to save her spirit, which was the only way to help a restless soul like hers, for her resentment was too deep.

  I watched as Xiaoyun transformed back into a rotting female corpse, kneeling on the ground and begging pitifully. The uncle also knelt down, begging along with Xiaoyun.

  They seemed to be saying something with their mouths, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes or hear their conversation.

  Until Uncle Ah walked close to my soul, a refreshing fragrance pierced into my nostrils, I finally couldn't hold on anymore and completely lost consciousness...

  ……

  A girl in a pink court dress, wearing a jade hairpin, ran forward. The girl in white clothes with floral patterns on her sleeves and collar chased after her.

  "Princess, wait for me, princess..."

  The woman in front turned around, with a radiant smile under the sunlight. Such a beautiful woman, stunning and captivating, she slightly opened her vermilion lips, like a peach blossom, and softly called out, "Ano."

  I looked back at the woman chasing after me, and it turned out that she was Anno, who had been guarding the coffin at the bottom of the Ximen River. Then the woman in front of me wasn't...

  I turned around and looked at the woman wearing palace attire.

  Her figure, gradually blurred, moved her gaze to my face, she was smiling at me, the blurred face gradually disappeared, and her body slowly weathered away, while Arno, who had caught up from behind, also began to disappear.

  I was about to grab Liu Xiujun, but I was a step too late. Her body had already turned into sand and disappeared in the sunlight.

  There's a dull ache in my heart, as if I've lost the most important thing in life. Breathing is difficult, I'm suffocating, wanting to cry out but unable to open my mouth, yet my mind is so clear, it's like being pinned down by a nightmare.

  I took a deep breath, and then the warmth spread into my palms, melted and extended, unblocking all the closed organs in my body, smooth and unobstructed.

  ……

  Sunlight poured in, my stomach growled twice, I squinted my eyes and woke up from a dream. A bean-sized meatball-like face approached me, I jolted, all sleepiness gone.

  The bean really scared me, got up and put on my coat, the bean was still staring at me with some confusion.

  "What are you looking at, kid?" I got dressed and got out of bed, my legs felt weak and my whole body was powerless.

  "A Li, you've been sleeping for two days and haven't eaten anything." DouDou blinked his eyes standing beside me, looking up at the sunlight shining in from the window. I raised my hand to check the time, 9:30.

  I just realized that my soul had returned to my body, but I don't know what the process was like. Uncle Ah brought me back to Qin Village and somehow covered up the fact that I slept for two days. There's a slight pain in my chest, so I called out to DouDou with a mix of coaxing and deception.

  On the upper left chest, there is also a small dagger wound, but it was stabbed so deep that I clearly remember bleeding a lot. Why is this wound now so small and seems to be almost fully recovered, without even leaving a scar?

  That day, Xiaoyun and Uncle knelt in the broken temple to beg for something from Uncle. In the end, did Uncle shatter Xiaoyun's soul? All of this is unknown to me.

  After a while, Doudou knocked on the door again, "A Li jie, it's time to eat."

  "Okay, I'll be right there." I replied to Doudou and heard his footsteps going down the wooden stairs, then tidied up my clothes and opened the door.

  Washing didn't take up too much time, but when I got to the dinner table, those pairs of eyes that seemed to be thinking deeply made me feel a bit strange. Uncle didn't say anything, with his usual warm and gentle expression.

  Mr. Qin looked at me and was about to say something, but stopped himself, then lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice quickly. The beans were all over the table, trying to get some steamed fish. The beans were small, and Mrs. Qin seemed not to have noticed, focusing on eating her own meal.

  They are all so silent, what happened? Is it related to my coma for these two days?

  "Thank you, Aunt Ali." Seeing that DouDou couldn't reach it, I put the boiled fish in his bowl. DouDou said thank you and started eating.

  I smiled at him and said, "No need to thank me."

  This meal was eaten in such a depressing atmosphere, even if I slept for two days and woke up, even though everyone knew what had happened, no one asked me anything, not even a perfunctory word.

  Today's sun is a bit big, at noon I and DouDou carried a small stool to sit under the locust tree to bask in the sun. Qin uncle said there was still some work in the field, if it could be finished today, tomorrow would not need to go down to the ground, and we can have a peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival.

  "Didn't we already agree on that last time, to get engaged at this year's Mid-Autumn Festival?" A familiar voice came from next door, and through the bamboo fence, I saw Yang Liu Ying and Da Zhu.

  "Slow down, you see my mother's body has not been well these past few days, where is the heart to Mid-Autumn engagement." Da Zhu replied to Yang Liu Ying with a tone that was obviously very impatient.

  I heard Dazhu mention that this Mid-Autumn Festival, he is going to get engaged to Yang Liu Ying. When Dazhu told me about it, he even asked if I could stay until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I nodded in agreement with him.

  But this time he refused Yang Liu Ying, what's going on?
