C84 (1/2)
By the time he arrived at Bayen County, Lin Jin's consciousness had already grown three times stronger than before.
When he retracted his consciousness back into his body, he felt a wave of unprecedented elation, and his mind also became much clearer and more active.
”Big brother, we're here.” Opening his eyes, he discovered that nymph's eyes were blinking at him, he was extremely excited.
”Why did you materialize? Didn't I tell you to go invisible? ” Lin Jin was shocked, he immediately looked at his surroundings and realised that everyone was busy packing up to get off the car. No one had noticed them.
”No!” Hearing big brother's words, Yin Yin kept herself hidden from view the entire time. ” When nymph saw Lin Jin's angry look, she felt so wronged that she was about to cry.
”Oh!” Lin Jin finally realised that when his consciousness had grown to such an extent, he could actually see Yin spirits. Perhaps, this was also the reason why Yin Yin was able to see his consciousness exit her body.
After comforting Yin Yin, Lin Jin got off the car and looked at the time. It was already 5 in the afternoon, which was exactly the time the train staff said.
Walking to a secluded place, Lin Jin said to the nymph, ”Yin Yin, Big Brother's promise has already been fulfilled, go home by yourself! In the future, remember not to follow others around randomly. If you lose something after that, you won't be able to find anyone to help you.
”Hm!” Yin Yin got it. She nodded and the nymph looked at him puzzledly. ”Big brother won't accompany Yin Yin back?”
”Haha …” Lin Jin laughed, ”Humans and ghosts are different. Big brother is different from you two after all.
”Oh!” Yin Yin finally understood... ”Thank you big brother.” Hearing his words, nymph's eyes became misty, looking a little lonely as she nodded.
Suddenly, Lin Jin felt a ripple from nymph's figure, and she disappeared without a trace.
After sending off this sensible nymph, Lin Jin felt a burst of relief in his heart. However, at the same time, he felt a slight sense of loss, not knowing why.
At this time, the sky was still bright, after Lin Jin bought some food, he was ready to find an inn to stay, waiting for the bus home tomorrow morning.
However, just as he finished his food and was about to find a place to stay, a familiar wail rang out from behind him.
”Wuu … wuu …” Yin Yin couldn't bear to part with her big brother. Big brother, can you send Yin Yin home? Yin Yin has lost herself for so long, if grandfather sees him, she will definitely scold me. Yin Yin is so afraid … ”
Lin Jin turned his head to look, only to see nymph looking at him with two streams of tears, looking extremely worried and afraid.
Seeing the nymph appear once again, Lin Jin felt slightly happy in his heart. He felt as if his dejected mood had returned.
With a view to sending Buddha to the west and ghosts to their homes, Lin Jin hesitated for a moment before agreeing to nymph's request.
Following the path that Yin Yin pointed out, a man and a ghost walked out of the town and onto a remote dirt road.
In the countryside, Lin Jin's favorite time was when he was walking on the muddy mountain road. It was very comfortable to walk on it, and with the smell of the grass on both sides of the mountain road, his footsteps would even become lighter.
But here, Lin Jin walked in a very bad mood.
Although the road here was also a muddy one, there was a layer of hard rocks on top of it. There were many potholes on the ground, making it very difficult to walk on. From time to time, he could smell the stench of rotting animals in the air, making him feel uncomfortable.
After walking for around an hour or two, Yin Yin suddenly pointed to a village in front of them. ”Big Brother, we'll be at my place after we pass through that village.”
”En!” Lin Jin nodded and quickened his pace.
Because Yin Yin walked while floating, her speed was much faster than Lin Jin's. Therefore, when Lin Jin sped up his footsteps, she very easily followed him without feeling any strain. However, she still hung a few feet behind Lin Jin, not willing to overtake him.
After walking into the village, he saw that all the houses in the village that were charred black by the smoke and looked like they had gone through countless of trials and hardships. Lin Jin could not help but frown.
The village was not very big, only around ten families. Perhaps it was because all of their youth had gone out to work, but when Lin Jin looked towards the village, he found that they were all elderly people who looked lifeless.
