Zhang Clan Village, Li Clan Village.

A century ago, their ancestors settled down at opposite shores of this river, and these two villages became neighbors. All those years, these two villages got along pretty well, and there would even be an occasional marriage between the two villages. But most villagers weren’t that close to each other.

Right now, Ning Huanxin was looking at the young Auntie Zhang who was stopped in her tracks, while the other women carried that young woman and left.

Ning Huanxin hesitated for a moment, and then she quickly ran down.

“Ning Huanxin!”

Jiang Lixing didn’t expect Ning Huanxin to start running suddenly. He yelled after her and started running after her.

The two of them rushed ahead all the way until they reached that deserted village.

This was once the Li Clan Village.

As far as the eye could see, it was all deserted land with some dilapidated bamboo huts.

Jiang Lixing looked at the deserted piece of land before him. He seemed to still slightly feel the peaceful atmosphere that existed until a few decades ago.

A small butterfly flapping its wings could cause a destructive storm thousands of miles away. So what exactly happened decades ago that caused the overnight destruction of the entire Li Clan Village?



What Ning Huanxin saw differed from what Jiang Lixing saw.

The scene before Ning Huanxin was even more shocking.

Originally, Ning Huanxin chased after those people. However, when she reached the village, those figures disappeared, and all she saw was a field of fire.

The fire surrounded the entire village. Groups of people crawled out of their houses. Their faces were as pale as a sheet, and their expressions were painful.

Some people were even rolling on the floor, groaning because of pain.

Ning Huanxin walked into the fire step by step. She passed through the burning flames, but she couldn’t feel the heat from fire nor the pain. However, she could imagine the pain and despair felt by those villagers at that moment.

A large group of people rushed over and carried all these defenseless people away, one after another, without even uttering another word.

Finally, they carried away that young woman at last.

Her face was even paler than the others, looking like that of a dead person.

Ning Huanxin could still remember what she saw. Her composed and beautiful face that Ning Huanxin previously saw was filled with energy and emotion under the moonlight. But now, her figure looked withered and dry, and endless agony filled her eyes…

They carried away everyone in the village. There was nothing but pure pain and desperation on their faces. They wanted to struggle; they wanted to fight back but to no use…

Ning Huanxin knew the outcome that was waiting for them.

To be buried alive.

There weren’t many people in the village, to begin with, and they will bury alive anyone who managed to escape from the fire tonight alive!

The fire slowly died out. There was a heavy downpour as if God was also crying for them.

Everything before her eyes faded away, and Ning Huanxin’s eyes became blurry. When she regained her senses, all she saw were patches of grass outgrowing on the deserted area, along with the ashes of remains.

“Let’s head back.”

Ning Huanxin suddenly mumbled.

Jiang Lixing, who was standing beside, looked at her, shocked. He couldn’t help but reply in a whisper, “You’re still sick. Are you not going to go to the hospital?”

“The hospital won’t be able to treat my illness. I have to go back. Only Zhang Clan Town can treat my illness.”

Ning Huanxin replied decisively.

Ning Huanxin wanted to head back and look for Auntie Zhang. She believed this time she could definitely get Auntie Zhang to speak about it. Auntie Zhang would surely reveal to her what exactly happened decades ago between these two villages!

Only after finding out what happened decades ago, Ning Huanxin will finally be able to determine her next step, how she needs to finish her mission in this memory world and return to reality…
