C11 (1/2)
The night in the cemetery was extremely quiet and dark.
However, after walking for so long, Xiang Fei's eyes seemed to gradually get used to the darkness. Not only did he not stumble or stumble while walking, he did not even feel the slightest bit of fear.
Perhaps, when a person possessed the true ability to protect themselves, they would no longer have so many mysterious concerns.
”Holy Spirit, Earth Spirit, Door of the tomb boundary, quickly appear.”
Returning to his grandfather's grave, he chanted an incantation and summoned the tomb boundary. Xiang Fei did not bother looking at the situation of the other spirit bodies, but instead directly walked into Grandma Li Cuilan's tomb boundary.
It was unknown if it was an illusion on Xiang Fei's part, but he had a feeling that the spirit bodies in the tomb boundary didn't need to sleep. Every time he summoned the tomb boundary, they would stare at him with their bright and lively eyes without the slightest trace of sleepiness.
It was the same for Grandmother Li.
As soon as Xiang Fei entered the Grandmother Li, the old man floated over happily.
”Have you found my granddaughter?” Grandma Li Cuilan quickly asked.
”I found it...” At this point, Xiang Fei hesitated.
”Did you give the doll to her? Does she like it?” The Grandmother Li asked anxiously.
”Not yet, I met with a little trouble, I... I found your remains outside … ” Xiang Fei thought for a moment before replying, afraid of provoking the old man.
”Remains? What remains?” Grandmother Li asked in confusion after hearing this.
”Am I being tactful? ”What I mean is that your skeleton has been found outside. After confirming that you were murdered, you didn't die a normal death!” Xiang Fei directly said.
Hearing that, Li Cuilan was startled, she frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized something: ”I remember now, that person really did harm me back then!”
Xiang Fei had thought that Li Cuilan would be excited to learn of her ”death”, and had even prepared her comforting words in advance. She never thought that her reaction would be so calm, as if she was listening to a strange story, and wasn't even as excited as the information regarding her granddaughter.
”Then, do you remember who caused you harm? What did you look like and what was your name?” Xiang Fei asked.
”I don't know. If I had been able to see their faces clearly, then I probably wouldn't have been killed. I only felt someone knock on my head heavily, and before I could see anything clearly, I was pushed down.” Grandma Li Cuilan recalled.
”Alright, even if that's the case, after you die, when your soul rises up, you should at least see what they look like, right? One person, or two people?” Xiang Fei asked.
”I was alone, but I was in a hurry to go back and see my granddaughter, so I didn't pay much attention.” Grandma Li Cuilan said, embarrassed.
”Alright, it really is the deep affection between our ancestors.” Xiang Fei sighed as he looked at Grandmother Li seriously. There was no soul form missing, why does it feel like there was a missing string in my brain?
It was no wonder that a soul form like the Grandmother Li could stay in the reincarnation cycle for more than ten years because of a simple promise she made to her granddaughter.
Apart from that, many things did not seem to be remembered.
Perhaps, once a person died, many matters could be put to rest. It was impossible to care even if one wanted to.
This was probably how a soul body survived. They would only remember the things they truly cared about, even if these things were insignificant to others.
But like this, Xiang Fei was destined to fail if he tried to use Li Cuilan's method to purge the crime.
Xiang Fei was not willing to give up, so he asked Grandmother Li a few more questions. After not getting any valuable clues, he was afraid that if he went back too late and there was no one else in the prison, it would lead to a new misunderstanding.
However, he had also promised Grandmother Li that he would find a chance to bring her granddaughter Zhao Qingrou over here and burn paper and incense to comfort her.
As they left the cemetery, Xiang Fei was worrying about how to return when he suddenly realized that Old Man Sun was still awake. He was sitting alone at the entrance of the cemetery, silently smoking a pipe.
”Elder Sun, why aren't you sleeping?” Seeing this, Xiang Fei greeted.
”I'm getting old and my days are numbered. I can't sleep after I wake up, so I might as well stay awake for the rest of the day.” Sun Youcai replied.
After Xiang Fei had completely explained his situation, when Old Man Sun saw him again, he no longer shivered from the battle that he had before. He had recovered the laziness and decadence of an old man.
”Sorry, next time I won't disturb you in the middle of the night. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. I'll come see you again later.” Xiang Fei said.
