Embroidery Girl
chapter 38: of course, you've been incarnated
Yulan already knew that the mastermind of all the murders that occurred was her. He also knew that when he first met Tang Li, Tang Li already knew his identity, but he didn't kill him back then, not even showing any desire to kill him, he wanted to kill the man who stole his money.
Yulan sacrificed her body to practice forbidden cultivation in order to raise her dead child, she did not want to commit murder, but all of them needed to be paid to do so. It is impossible to raise his son without the proper payment; nor can he raise him in a good way, for all men have been appointed the time of their death. With just that, he can do it.
In addition, he also had to endure painful suffering for the sake of his son. Every day, he had to take medicine. The medicines needed for her were very expensive, therefore, her husband had to steal them.
“Because I don't know.”
It was impossible for Tang Li not to know his identity, let alone that time he was trying to kill him. Yulan slightly frowned, then she said calmly, “I am now standing here, let's end it. But if I win later, is there a word you want to say to the girl?”
“We talk about that later only.”
Tang Li shot forward like a ghostly shadow. When he reached Yulan, he immediately swung his sword. But who would have thought, suddenly someone appeared and fended off his sword.
“This is what it's like to fight a sword god?” asked the man expressionlessly.
“You want to try it? I'll show you.”
......................
Fireworks began to be thrown in the sky, causing excitement on the eve of the autumn festival. In the horse carriage, Xin Mei looked at him, she was as if looking at the colorful flowers in the sky.
“Look, very beautiful tonight..” he said with a sweet face and limp after drinking a lot of wine.
“You shouldn't do that.”
A girl sat on the right while holding both hands in front and closed her eyes. He opened it slowly after speaking. Her body looks graceful.
Although her face was still small, she seemed to have a mature attitude, more so than Xin Mei. When the wind came in, it made his second braid hair, along with the blue ribbon that bound him twitch.
She was none other than the little girl that was in Xin Mei's dream a few months ago.
“I don't care... I like wine. You're a kid, what do you know..?”.
Xin Mei smiled looking up at the sky. He said sayu, “There are no more people who pay much attention to him in this world. What do I care about, whether I drink wine or not. The sooner it dies, the better; the calmer.”
“You are wrong, there are still people who care about you.”
“Who!? All my parents are dead! And it's all by the people I like, it's ironic no, I should hate it, not like it!”
“He is not wrong.”
“Maybe you're right.” Xin Mei sighed then looked at the expanse of trees that adorned the streets. There was no green among the branches. The trees during this season are replacing the beautiful leaves.
Looking at him made Xin Mei wonder, if it could be that her life was like those trees, that would gain something new, better than before after sacrificing green leaves scattered and flying by the wind.
Thinking of the wind, made him wonder since childhood, how does the wind smell itself? Does it not have a smell? Or just steal from others, and how big is he? Where the hell has he been? Is there in the distant sky? Are there other galaxies as well? How big was the world he was currently in?
He felt back to his childhood after thinking this. He once asked his mother whether sunflowers and other plants had a mind, and whether they had the same language as himself, if so, how it was, what it was, where is the brain of the plant.
“May,er asked too many questions. I can't answer it, maybe even everyone you'll find. So hard to answer that. If Mei,er asked the layman, they would definitely answer no. Then you'll ask, why, how, then why does the sun move.”
In the baldness of the trees, Xin Mei suddenly saw a woman standing there greeting her with a gentle smile. The woman smiled as if giving spirit to Xin mei, then walked away.
Xin Mei was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously jumped out and chased after the woman. He was sure that the woman was his mother. If it was his mother, then his mother did not die at that time. Hope after hope appeared in his heart. The longing for his mother made him continue to step away from the carriage of Prince Lei Shi's entourage.
The girl sitting beside Xin Mei earlier approached the window looking at the figure of Xin Mei who was getting further away.
The girl then sighed. “What can I do, I no longer want to have a destiny and end up the same as before. Never again, for ever.”
The girl then became transparent and disappeared.
No one was aware of their departure, not even the soldiers watching from behind.
......................
Lifting both ends of her dress, the young girl continued to run until she arrived near a small and shallow river. The river was filled with dry leaves.
Xin Mei looked around for the figure she saw as a mother.
After a few seconds of searching for her, she did not see her, but suddenly a girl's cry sounded.
Xin Mei followed the direction of the voice.
He found a girl sitting crying by the river.
He approached her and held her shoulder.
The girl slowly turned her head towards Xin Mei. Xin Mei was immediately startled and wanted to get away from the girl, but both of her hands were directly held by her.
The girl's face was pale bluish in color with a pair of extremely terrifying red eyes.
Seeing this horror, frightened him, and felt all his life energy drawn by the girl's eyes.
And suddenly thousands of dried leaves in the wind blew against Xin Mei's face. Then a vast expanse of green trees and grassland was in front of him.
Whatisthis?
The atmosphere suddenly became in the daytime with the sun shining brightly up there.
“does Xin May still know me?”
A soft voice sounded from behind Xin Mei.
There a girl stood looking at Xin Mei. No one could comment if the girl was ugly. Although her skin was tanned, she had a sweet face and a nice body. With her body wrapped in a beautiful white cloth, making her look like a love fairy.
“Who are you?” Xin Mei asked in astonishment.
“We always meet first. You're always with me, have you forgotten me?”
“I don't know you,” Xin Mei replied after a while of thought.
“Of course, you've been incarnated, whereas I'm still here.”
“I don't understand.”
“No need to think about. It's already passed. Come with me.” The girl walked forward.
Xin Mei followed him.
