That woman is Lingling's mother. This is the woman I saw in the photo today.
However, I really didn't expect Lu Lantai to have such abilities.
"Sister!" As soon as Lingling saw me, she wanted to rush over excitedly. But strangely, an invisible powerful force around her bounced Lingling back. With quick eyes and quick hands, Lu Lantai hugged Lingling.
"It's so fun!" Lingling was not frightened at all by the scene just now, but danced happily. There was no danger, and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
I ran over immediately. Lingling gave me a big hug warmly.
"Sister, I miss you so much!" Lingling said "sister" and my heart almost melted.
However, ever since I found out that she was Chang Lan's sister, I always felt that this title seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Thank you sister for helping me find my mother!" Lingling looked at me gratefully.
I quickly pushed Han Wanting forward, smiled at Lingling and said, "Then you have to thank this brother. He helped you find your mother."
Lingling smiled sweetly at Han Wanting and said loudly: "Thank you, brother!"
"You're welcome." Han Wanting was a little embarrassed and turned his head and replied arrogantly.
"Lingling, can mom take you home? Can mom buy you new clothes, toys, and delicious food?" Lu Lantai's voice also turned into a gentle female voice.
"Okay." Lingling took "Mom's" hand and walked out of the auditorium step by step.
This time is different from just now. This time there is no powerful force that prevents Lingling from leaving.
However, Lingling's body became more and more transparent.
I looked at Han Wanting anxiously, and he said calmly: "The force that prevented her from coming out was her resentment. What Lu Lantai said just now, 'take her home,' is what she has been waiting for all these years. That sentence. In this way, the resentment will disappear."
"But why is her body becoming more and more transparent? What's going on?" I asked hurriedly.
"After a person dies, the soul can stay in the world for up to seven days. If it exceeds this limit, it will only end in ashes."
"So, you knew from the beginning that she would disappear into ashes? Then we can't deceive her! She just wants to see her mother. If I had known this was the case, I would definitely find ways to let the mother and daughter see each other for the last time. .”
"Then have you ever thought that Lingling's mother has already lost her once? If they were to meet, would you want to see her in pain after losing her daughter again?" Han Wanting's words made me speechless. Speechless.
For Lingling, being wiped out may be a relief. The long and hopeless wait is far more painful and torturous than death.
I witnessed the whole process of Lingling disappearing. During this process, she never let go of her "mother's" hand.
Tears were welling up in my eyes, but I kept trying not to let them fall down.
There was a rustling sound in the woods behind him. Han Wanting and I turned around almost at the same time.
We watched vigilantly for a while, but found nothing.
Lu Lantai appeared behind me at some point. He patted me and Han Wanting on the shoulders and asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
"I just heard something moving there, but it's gone now." Han Wanting's eyes were always staring at the woods.
I looked at the time and immediately urged: "Oops, the time is almost up and the concealment spell is about to expire. We have to get out of here quickly."
"I'll take you back." As soon as Han Wanting finished speaking, Lu Lantai whispered in his ear without knowing what he said.
Han Wanting's beautiful eyebrows frowned again.
"Miss He, let me deliver it to you. I can deliver you home in a few seconds." Lu Lantai raised her eyebrows, looking very proud.
"Is it so magical? Then come and see me off. If I'm with Han Wanting, he will let me walk." I secretly looked at Han Wanting to see his reaction.
But he didn't say anything, instead he lowered his head and thought.
Lu Lantai glanced at Han Wanting, showed a meaningful smile, and then said to me: "Close your eyes and open them after counting to three."
I nodded. I'm still very curious in my heart. This teleportation is really cool! If only I knew how to do it, I wouldn’t have to walk so far to go to school every day, and I could go on vacation wherever I wanted, even saving on travel expenses!
Oops, I forgot to count! It should have been three seconds. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. Sure enough, I was in my bedroom.
The warm little bed seemed to be calling me, and my sleepiness suddenly overflowed. Forget it, no matter so much, I fell into bed and went to sleep.
After that, my life was uneventful. I don't like to go out very much. I stay at home doing homework and reading books on weekdays. The days were quite pleasant. Sometimes I would call and chat with Li Wan and the others.
Occasionally, I will unconsciously recall some recent events. Sometimes I have nightmares at night.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, and the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful, bustling with activity. Of course, seniors don’t deserve a nice vacation. The college entrance examination is coming soon, and I dare not relax. I used to love watching TV, but during the winter vacation I hardly watched TV, and even talked very little. Although sometimes I get upset when I think about that Xue Taisui, whom I have never even seen, who wants to kill me. Why did I provoke it?
Soon it's New Year's Eve.
Mom and dad were busy cooking in the kitchen, and suddenly someone rang the doorbell. I quickly ran over and opened the door. It turned out that Lin Jie and Uncle Lin were here. I quickly let them in.
As soon as Uncle Lin entered the door, my dad pulled him to the kitchen to chat. Lin Jie and I were the only ones left in the living room.
He sat on the sofa and smiled at me.
I said hello to him and prepared to go to the kitchen to help my mother. But my mother said she didn’t need my help and asked me to talk to Lin Jie. It seems a bit rude to leave guests alone.
But Lin Jie and I have almost nothing in common. Could it be that they were talking about Tai Sui, but what if their adults overheard? Forget it, I'd better go upstairs and stay for a while.
My mother cooked a lot of dishes, and some relatives who were close to home came to our house for dinner. Almost every year, my mother would invite Lin Jie and Uncle Lin to dinner. Since Aunt Ting is no longer here, their home has become very deserted, especially during the New Year and festivals, and they don't know how to organize it. Both father and son spoke very little and looked gloomy all day long.
Uncle Lin has not remarried for so many years. His eyes always revealed melancholy. Sometimes when I pass by their pharmacy, I always see him sitting alone at the door, staring into the distance.
When I was a kid, I often went to Lin Jie’s house to have dinner. Because the food cooked by Aunt Ting is very delicious, so delicious that I want to eat it every time until I am full.
I don’t know how Aunt Ting spent these years. I think it must be very painful. But it was fortunate among the misfortunes that Aunt Ting did not really leave, but often looked at her son and husband from a distance in the crowd.
After the meal, the adults gathered together and played cards. The children were all playing with their mobile phones. When I got closer to them, I found that they were either playing King Pesticide or eating chicken, or they were playing Plants vs. Zombies. Alas, the flavor of the New Year is indeed not as strong as before.
Lin Jie doesn't like to talk much. I saw that he had been typing on his mobile phone, as if he was replying to someone's message.
I suddenly remembered that Chang Lan told me that Lin Jie was in love. I was also quite curious, so I quietly approached him and asked, "Are you in love?"
"Huh?" He turned his head and looked at me with some confusion.
I thought not, thinking how could a scholar like him fall in love?
"How do you know?" He said suddenly, catching me off guard.
"Listen to what others say." I looked away awkwardly, not daring to look directly into his eyes.
He smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly: "Where did you hear the rumors? Why didn't I know that I was in love?"
I was startled and quickly turned over the cards. I didn't want to cause misunderstanding, so I explained: "Don't get me wrong. I have a sister who likes you very much. Do you want to consider it after graduation? That sister of mine is very good-looking. People are smart..."
Lin Jie suddenly interrupted me: "I'm going to the Realm of Nothingness later."
"Want to go see Aunt Ting? I also want to go see her with you."
Lin Jie nodded.
"And the sister I just mentioned is named Chang Lan. She is gentle, kind, and as beautiful as a flower... You two are an invincible match!"
Lin Jie ignored me and simply said: "We will leave at twelve o'clock in the evening. You can sleep for a while and I will wait for you downstairs at your house. I will leave first."
I stayed where I was, embarrassed.
This year's night is particularly beautiful with gorgeous fireworks. Although the firecrackers are sometimes very noisy, I still can't help but look at the fireworks blooming in the night sky.
At twelve o'clock, I secretly went downstairs. Lin Jie is standing downstairs waiting for me.
I carried big and small bags and wanted to give these to Aunt Ting as a New Year gift. When Lin Jie saw me, he smiled and said, "You don't actually need to bring these."
"That's alright, I'll definitely bring it. It would be rude to go empty-handed. Stop inking, let's leave quickly."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the neighbor's aunt standing behind us. She was very curious when she saw Lin Jie and I mumbling downstairs so late. Just as she was about to ask us something, Lin Jie quickly appeared in front of her, then stretched out his finger and lightly tapped her forehead.
At the same time, Lin Jie also took my hand. In an instant, my eyes were pierced by a bright white light that made me unable to open my eyes.
After a few seconds, Lin Jie asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
I opened my eyes and found that we had reached the realm of nothingness. My eyes felt a little uncomfortable, but I was still worried that the neighbor's aunt would tell my mother what she saw us, so I quickly asked Lin Jie what to do.
He comforted me: "Don't worry, I just used a spell to make her forget."
I breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked curiously: "Are you just pointing your finger at someone's forehead to make them forget everything?"
"No, they will only forget the things I want them to forget. Sometimes Yinsha will use this spell if he is afraid of exposing his identity."
I nodded. Only then did I remember that Han Wanting had planned to use this spell to make me forget that he was the culprit. Han Wanting, why would I think of him? Bah, bah, bah, what a bad luck. Every time he comes to see me, something bad is bound to happen.
