Chapter 386 Don’t Forget Me
Xu Youan nodded.
Jiang Liqian paced back and forth.
"Then how can she realize on her own that this is her memory fragment?"
Xu Youan said: "We can only wait."
Jiang Liqian stopped, looked up at the sky and sighed.
Never mind, entering the Floating Life Realm was an accident in itself. It just means that Second Brother and the others will have to worry for a while longer.
"Take me to see her."
Xu Youan didn't say anything extra and immediately led her the way.
The two walked along the path by the river until they reached the front of the village and turned into a small alley.
It was now late, and the gates of the two courtyards opposite the door had been bolted, so the two could not enter through the main gate.
Xu Youan had already observed this place. He pulled Jiang Liqian to a slightly weathered corner, pointed at the wall that was shorter than the others, and lowered his voice to approach her: "Sister, here, we can climb up and secretly take a look at what's going on inside."
Jiang Li blinked, a smile on her face, raised her hand and casually touched his head, then moved closer to him and praised him softly: "Good job, little brother!"
Xu Youan's face flushed red and he staggered backward, but he immediately felt a little disadvantaged and wanted to get closer to his senior sister, but Jiang Liqian had already rolled up her sleeves and was ready to climb over the wall.
Xu Youan bit his lower lip, feeling a little unwilling, and whispered to Jiang Liqian: "Senior Sister, let me help you step up. You can step on my hand to get up. This wall is still a bit high."
Jiang Liqian jumped up, stepped on the stone next to her, and turned over neatly to stand on the wall. When she heard Xu Youan's voice, she squatted down and looked back at him: "What did you say?"
"..."
Xu Youan forced a smile, waved his hand and shook his head: "Nothing..."
Jiang Liqian nodded at him and walked into the yard first.
Xu Youan lowered his eyes in disappointment, his lips moved slightly, revealing a wry smile.
He spread out his hands and looked at the crisscrossing lines on his palms, stunned for a moment.
Someone once held his hands, cut through the thorns and helped him escape.
But now, even being close to her was a blessing and a luxury for him.
"Junior brother, come here quickly!"
Hearing the man's low urging voice in his ears, Xu Youan immediately suppressed all his exposed emotions and quickly climbed over the wall and landed on the ground.
Jiang Liqian frowned: "Why are you so slow? What are you dawdling about?" After saying that, without caring whether Xu Youan had anything to say or not, she pulled his hand, carefully avoided the various tables, chairs, benches, bacon, and dried vegetables in the courtyard, and touched the window of the main house.
She tried to move as quietly as possible and peeked in through the crack in the window.
The room was already lit by a flickering candlelight, casting the figures inside clearly on the window paper.
They were lucky enough that they saw the person they wanted to see on their first "peek".
There were two people in the room. One was a woman with a bun on her hair. She was sitting by a candle, sewing something with needle and thread. Not far from her was a small rocking bed, in which lay a baby, sucking its finger.
The little baby is still gurgling, but you can vaguely see what he will look like when he grows up.
It was Song Nian'er.
Is that person Song Nian'er's mother?
Jiang Liqian turned around and signaled Xu Youan with her eyes to come over and take a look, but she found that his eyes were staring straight at the hand she was holding.
Hey!
Jiang Liqian pulled out her hand and waved it in front of him.
Junior brother seems quite reliable, why did he become dazed at the critical moment?
Xu Youan came back to his senses in a panic, and avoided Jiang Liqian's sight awkwardly, looking into the house with her.
Although Jiang Liqian felt that his junior brother's reaction was a little strange, he didn't think much about it.
The woman in the room spoke. She put down her needlework, picked up tiny Song Nian'er, gently stroked her little face, and said with a smile: "Our Nian Nian is so cute. You played with the neighbor girl for so long today. Aren't you sleepy yet?"
The picture froze here for a moment, the candlelight was stiff, and the floating dust stopped.
The next second, the candlesticks in the room were replaced with new ones, and the colored threads in the sewing basket were changed to other colors. The woman doing needlework tiredly supported her forehead and fell asleep on the table.
Song Nian'er, who was only two years old, had grown to four years old in a blink of an eye. She carried the girl on her back, quietly pushed open the door, and sneaked out.
Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan looked at each other and immediately followed her.
Four-year-old Song Nian'er stood on tiptoe, unbolted the door with great effort, ran to the opposite door, and knocked hard on their door.
After a while, the door was opened, and a little girl who looked only one or two years older than four-year-old Song Nian'er cautiously poked her head out. When she saw that it was Song Nian'er, she immediately relaxed and pulled her into her yard.
Four-year-old Song Nian'er was in high spirits as she surrounded the little girl and happily ate the candied haws she gave her. The little flesh on her face trembled with the movement of her mouth, which was very cute.
But the little girls surrounded by her were a little silent.
After hesitating several times, she seemed to have made up her mind and turned to the four-year-old Song Nian'er and said, "Niannian, from today on, I can no longer buy delicious food for you secretly."
Four-year-old Song Nian'er immediately stopped licking the candied haws and tilted her head to look at the little girl with a confused look on her face: "Why? Did Nian Nian make her sister unhappy?"
The little girl shook her head.
After another moment of silence, she said, "I need to go look for my mother. I'm afraid I have to leave the village."
"But I heard from the aunt at the village entrance that my sister's mother was a bad person and abandoned her when she was very young. Why would my sister go to find a bad person?" Four-year-old Song Nian'er was puzzled.
The little girl hesitated, not knowing how to explain to her the importance of a mother to a child.
She had been ridiculed as a wild child without a mother since she was a child. She wanted to find that cruel person and ask her why she abandoned her and her child, and why she had not cared about them for so many years and refused to even come back to see them.
She didn't want to carry this knot in her heart into the coffin after she died.
She squatted down and gently and affectionately stroked the little head of four-year-old Song Nian'er. She said: "No matter whether I can come back alive in the future, Nian Nian, you are my family and my favorite sister. We are sworn brothers, remember?"
Four-year-old Song Nian'er nodded vigorously, her childish voice innocent and pure: "Remember! Nian Nian and sister, live a long life, share joys and sorrows together, and live in peace every year."
The little girl's voice was choked with sobs.
"Don't forget me, Nian Nian. At least, don't forget me..."
The little girl sent four-year-old Song Nian'er home, carried her small bag, and left the village silently and firmly.
Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan were so shocked that they couldn't believe their eyes. They watched the little girl leave the village and disappear in the thin smoke.
