Hearing her husband's call, Siyan tried really hard to open her eyes, but she tried really hard, and when she opened her eyes, what she saw was actually that year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the market of Baisha County, she avoided her brother's chase and passed by the Xiaowan.
She recognized the young lady beside her and wanted to turn around to call out to her.
"Xiaowan …"
However, her body froze. She stood there heavily without moving a step, as if something was about to be pulled out from her body.
In front of the Kitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple, Xiaowan gently released her husband's hand, but reluctantly held it up again. After touching it for a while, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Ling Chaofeng's face: "Husband, I'm going."
"Late at night, I will come find you. I will definitely find you." Ling Chaofeng said, "Don't be afraid."
"If you meet a better girl, you have to treat her well." "I was afraid that if you came to me, I would cause you to be unable to complete the ninth life. No matter what, if I love you, I will have my husband's full love. I have lived a good life, and I am satisfied. "
"Late …"
"Husband, give me one last kiss." Xiaowan raised her tear-stained face and forced a smile, "Kiss me again."
Ling Chaofeng lifted her chin and deeply kissed Xiaowan's lips. Both their tears merged and his voice trembled: "Evening, let's go."
Xiaowan reached out her hands to tidy up his husband's shirt, giving him a decent look. With a satisfied smile, she turned around and walked into the hall.
"Child, you're here."
Kitigarbha seemed to have long predicted that Mu Xiaowan would come here, as she stood in the middle of the hall amiably. Behind him was the time wheel and the slowly spinning wheel.
"Empress …" Xiaowan's heart tensed up, and she kowtowed deeply to Bodhisattva.
"Child, do you hope that I can move the wheel forward three years?" Bodhisattva asked, "You were accidentally killed by the Heaven Realm, so what they owe you, you can indeed make such a wish."
"No." "The Xiaowan kowtowed and replied in a calm and respectful manner," Bodhisattva, the Xiaowan wishes to beg you. Bodhisattva, you can do it, right? "
The Kitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled mercifully, "If such a thing happened, everyone in the Heavenly Court would be able to accomplish it."
Xiaowan shook her head. "They can't, they have to find people one by one and delete their memories. They might miss something, when the memories of the mortals go awry, the demons will be able to take advantage of it. "Only you can change everything in an instant. This … this is what my husband told me."
The Kitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded benevolently, and silently listened to Xiaowan's words.
"Although I don't know why I'm not destined to be with my husband, we tried our best to struggle, and I also did a lot of foolish things to fight for it." The Xiaowan said reverently, as tears unknowingly rolled down his face. Every tear on his face caused a thousand-petal lotus to bloom on the hall.
"Bodhisattva, these three years, everyone in the mortal realm, be it happiness or sadness, they worked hard and lived steadily, living with flesh and blood." The Xiaowan said, "No matter what happened now, for them, it would be the best result. If they were to try again, could there be a better result? If the people who love each other pass by one another, if the blood-related family members are never able to meet again, then it would be unfair for the villains who commit all sorts of crimes to get the chance to be reborn. "
The Xiaowan deeply kowtowed: "Bodhisattva, I beg you, to only let me think back to when I was seventeen years old, to beg you to let my husband come back to life again."
Bodhisattva slowly walked towards her, plucked a Thousand Petal Lotus from beside Xiaowan and put it on her hair. Then, he personally supported her up and walked towards the time wheel together.
He lightly muttered, and the spinning suddenly stopped, and then turned around again, stopping at the spring of the year when Xiaowan was seventeen.
"Child, go. Everything will be as you wish." Ksitigarbha looked at Xiaowan benevolently and pushed her gently on her back.
Xiaowan glanced back at the door of the hall. Separated by a door, the fate of her and her husband had ended for the rest of their lives.
She steeled herself, bowed deeply to Bodhisattva, and resolutely jumped into the roulette.
Ling Chaofeng unknowingly was sucked away by a huge amount of energy. He pushed aside the layers of clouds and was just about to rush back into the Ling Xiao Inn.
"Chaofeng, continue to live in this life. You must take good care of yourself and never offend the laws of the heavens again." Dragon Queen appeared, and accompanied his son towards the Ling Xiao Inn.
"Mother, you've been using the Xiaowan since the beginning?" Ling Chaofeng asked his mother, "Now that you know her previous self, are you not afraid of losing cultivation experience?"
"Finally, she is worthy of my use. I hope that after you wake up, you will not meet her again." "In order to allow you to return to your position smoothly, I have put in a lot of effort. Chaofeng, don't disappoint me again."
"Muhou …"
Ling Chaofeng didn't even have time to speak before a huge force brought him into the Ling Xiao Inn. The memories in his mind were quickly extracted, and as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, he opened his eyes and everything returned to normal.
With his family members who were waiting by his side, Ershan said, "Big Brother, you're finally awake. Aunt said that you're critically ill, so Lian Yi and I came back overnight."
Ling Chaofeng looked at them in a daze.
Within the capital's Culture Hall, Siyan slowly opened her eyes, the color of her face had gradually returned to normal, and her eyes had become clear as well. The emperor was pleasantly surprised, and gently hugged her, "You're awake, Yan'er, did you hear us?"
"Your Majesty …" Siyan smiled weakly, "I had a very long dream, but when I opened my eyes and saw you, I could no longer remember."
Xiang Run didn't care as he kissed her again and again, unwilling to let go of her. "It's good that you've woken up, it's good that you've woken up." He asked loudly, "Where is the imperial physician?"
Outside the Culture Hall, Wei Tengfei stood with his hands behind his back, looking far into the sky, just a moment ago, it seemed as though something had been pulled out from his body, causing his heart to feel empty, and he even felt a bit of pain.
"General, the Empress has woken up. The Empress has woken up." The Palace Maid happily came over to report to him. "The Emperor invites you in."
Wei Tengfei revealed a smile and strode into his sister's chamber.
Everything was the same, even the year.
It was just that Xiaowan had returned to the Qingling Village, had returned to seventeen years old, and was the young lady who was still unmarried.
On New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers could be heard. Every household had the fragrance of food in the air, and the people of the Aunt Wang family next door were all celebrating New Year in their houses.
Xiaowan lived in the woodshed, eating half of the white mantou her father had given her in the afternoon. Just as she swallowed it down, she heard the mother call out to her, "The brick bed is no longer hot, Mu Xiaowan, are you going to freeze me to death?"
She quickly ran out and replied through the window, "Mother, I'll burn some firewood right now."
In fact, Xiaowan really liked to burn. Because it was warm, it was the only chance she had to heat the fire.
The noise of his younger brother and sister came from inside the house, as if they were fighting over the chicken leg. The stepmother's loud voice scolded them.
Tonight was New Year's Eve, so the stepmother began to get busy early in the morning. She carried the dishes in one bowl after another, but didn't leave any skin for her. She fed them to the chickens.
But my father secretly stuffed half a mantou into her mouth in the afternoon. Xiaowan ate very well, when was the last time she ate a white flour?
Looking at the sky full of stars, the Xiaowan smiled foolishly. She couldn't remember anymore.
When the fire raged, Xiaowan could no longer stay here. The Queen did not allow her to roast the fire, and said that she had baked it, what were they using to heat it up. Xiaowan did not know what was logical, but it was better for her not to do what the Queen did not allow.
She got up and left. When she passed by the window, she caught a whiff of the fragrance of the food, but then she heard the stepmother say to her father, "That girl will be 18 years old in the new year. "You are quite free, every year you would go out and leave me at home to listen to their gossip. Could it be that I, as his stepmother, will not allow her to marry me and have her stay at home as a laborer?"
The Master Mu said, "Every year, I come back for two months, but I don't have the time to work on it."
The stepmother scoffed, "You have time, but you can't reveal it. I've told you so many families, but once I heard that you killed off your own mother and sister, no one dares to take it. The silver that I gave to the matchmaker is worth a tael or two, and is all for nothing. However, I didn't even hear the sound of it. Why did you give birth to such a lost star?
"You are not allowed to sell her, I am warning you, no matter how much you treat her, I will not argue with you. If you dare to sell Xiaowan, I will sell you." "You can promise her whatever kind of family she wants. You need a name and a name, and you want me to find them. Do you hear me?"
The stepmother said resentfully, "Why are you being so fierce? You want to sell me? You old bastard, I'm telling you to eat it. I'm telling you to eat it."
The house was in an uproar. Xiaowan, hearing this, was terrified, so she ran back to the firewood house.
But the stepmother was really mad. She rushed to the woodshed without saying anything, took a stick from the pile of firewood, and began to smoke on her body.
Xiaowan curled up in the corner, holding her head. She was dragged out by the stepmother to the brick bed and stripped off her pants, then slapped her butt with her death hand. New injuries piled up and she was in so much pain that she almost died.
"Are you crazy?" The Master Mu finally caught up, took the wooden stick from the crazy woman and drove her away.
Xiaowan frantically pulled up her pants, curled up under the brick bed, and cried while shivering.
"Grandson …" Master Mu sighed, he caressed his daughter's head and said, "You have to be obedient, don't make her angry, okay?"
She nodded with tears in her eyes. Her fart looked like it was about to split. She felt ashamed and choked with sobs. "Dad, I'm obedient."
Master Mu threw down his wooden stick and said: "Let's hurry up and get married next year. Once we get married, our days will be better."
