Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 485 Sadness

"Aren’t you going to follow them?" Shen Siyuan asked the little girl in front of him with a smile.

"I know the way ho, I won’t get lost. People like you are rare, no, I’ve never seen anyone like you."

"How long have you been dead?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.

The little girl was wearing blue overalls with a white T-shirt underneath. She looked a few years younger than Xiao Yue, about eleven or twelve years old.

Upon hearing this, the little girl tilted her head, thought for a mont, and then said sowhat sadly, "I don’t quite rember, I only recall it’s been a long ti, long enough for my mom to beco very old."

Shen Siyuan wasn’t surprised by this. Ghosts have only brief mories after their death apart from their mories from when they were alive, and they rarely rember things for long.

However, the little girl quickly collected her emotions and excitedly asked Shen Siyuan, "Why can you see ?"

"And... and these two little sisters."

"Because, just like you, they have certain abilities. As for , you can think of as an immortal."

"An immortal?"

The little girl heard this and looked Shen Siyuan up and down.

"What, don’t I look like one?" Shen Siyuan asked with so amusent.

"Not at all." The little girl shook her head directly.

"Why not?"

"You’re not fat."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"What kind of reason is that?"

"The immortals in the temple are all very fat, and you’re not fat at all, plus you don’t dress like one." The little girl said.

"You’re quite observant," Shen Siyuan first complinted her.

Actually, the images recorded in mythology aren’t all of plump figures; male immortals are often depicted as tall and handso, and female immortals as graceful and beautiful.

The plump image ca later because being fat symbolizes prosperity and health, representing good fortune, so there are only a few thin statues in temples.

"So you’re not an immortal?" the little girl continued.

"Well, if you say I’m not, then I’m not."

It was just a casual remark, and Shen Siyuan didn’t bother to argue with her about it.

"Then they’re ghosts, why are they different from ?" the little girl continued to ask.

"Because I gave them the ability to beco visible."

"Visible? Then are you really an immortal?"

"Do you believe it now?"

"If you can make like them, I’ll believe you," the little girl said with a face full of expectation.

Shen Siyuan laughed at her words. The little girl was so naive, thinking that such a small trick could fool him.

For Shen Siyuan, it was an easy task, but he wanted to tease the little girl, so he didn’t imdiately agree.

Instead, he said, "That’s not possible. I don’t even know your na or how old you are. How can I easily grant you such an ability?"

The little girl was a bit disappointed upon hearing this but soon said voluntarily, "My na is Lan Xinyi, I’m ten years old—no, I was ten when I died. Is that enough?"

Shen Siyuan nodded, pointed to Duoduo and Dou Dou nearby, and said, "I see, you can go play with them."

"I don’t want to play with little kids," the little girl said haughtily.

Then, without waiting for a response, she turned and ran in the direction the middle-aged woman had left earlier.

Why are both mother and daughter like that, Shen Siyuan thought, a bit speechless.

"Hey..."

But before Shen Siyuan could call out to her, she had already disappeared from sight.

After thinking about it for a mont, Shen Siyuan decided to let it go for now. He believed that the little girl would soon co back to find him.

-----------------

The middle-aged woman appeared on this private beach, naturally indicating she lived nearby.

The little girl ran all the way forward, passing two villas before reaching her ho.

The villa types in this area were quite similar, differing only slightly according to their size.

"Mom..."

The little girl started calling out as soon as she reached the backyard.

Even though she knew that her mom couldn’t hear her, she still habitually called out once.

So when there was no response, she didn’t mind and directly went inside to look for her mother.

At first, she felt quite sad, but over ti, she gradually got used to it.

"Mom."

She walked into the house, called out once more, and glanced around the living room, finding no one there.

So she turned and headed towards the room, but before she entered, she heard her mom’s faint sobs and choking sounds.

"Mom."

Lan Xinyi went right through the door and inside.

Then she saw her mom sitting at the head of the bed, holding a picture fra of her, crying softly.

Her shoulders trembled, and the sound was very soft, like a kitten’s low whimper, but the tears flowed like a flood out of control, soaking the clothes on her chest and the quilt beside her.

"Xiao Bao..."

Her mom murmured quietly, her body even shaking slightly.

"Mom~"

Lan Xinyi called out in a daze. She had been gone for so long, and at first, she was also very sad like her mom, but over ti, her sadness lessened.

But her mom was always so sorrowful, every ti she thought of her, she cried so much that she’d almost faint, and it had been this way from the beginning until now.

"Mom~"

Seeing her mom crying so sadly, Lan Xinyi also got upset, trying to reach out to wipe away her mom’s tears, but the teardrops went right through her hand and fell back onto her mom’s chest.

Lan Xinyi tried a few more tis, but it turned out the sa, and she could only sigh deeply, standing there looking at her mother with a heart full of tenderness.

"Mom, I’m sorry," Lan Xinyi said softly.

Her voice was full of grievance.

"That day...I should have listened to you, waited at school, not ca back alone..."

As she spoke, Lan Xinyi began to cry too. She thought it was all her fault, she caused everything, and she desperately wanted to say sorry to her mom.

She was just a ten-year-old girl, bearing too much.

One was sitting on the bed crying, and the other was standing by the bed crying.

Lan Xinyi wiped her tears and suddenly thought of the little sister and brother from earlier.

If...

If she could be like the little sisters, she could apologize to her mom, comfort her, and she had so many things she wanted to tell her mom...

Thinking of this, she turned and ran towards the outside again, back to the beach.

But she found that no one was there anymore, the brother and the three little sisters had already left.

Lan Xinyi ran over anxiously, shouting as she ran.

"Brother, little sister, wah wah wah..."

She reached the previous spot but found only two big holes in the sand and a few sand-made crabs and turtles, with nothing else.

"Brother, little sister, wah wah wah..."

With her hopes dashed, Lan Xinyi cried even louder.

"Is soone crying?"

Dou Dou, who was playing with Tang Tang’s ball on the lawn, heard it and imdiately ran to the entrance of the steps holding the ball.

Then she saw Lan Xinyi wiping her tears standing on the beach.

"Big sister, you’re crying so sadly, did your mom abandon you?" Dou Dou asked loudly.

"Boo... wah..."

Seeing Dou Dou, Lan Xinyi cried even louder, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and fears in her heart.

Duoduo heard the sound too, and ca up from behind, looking at Lan Xinyi who was wiping her tears and walking towards them.

"What’s wrong with her?" Duoduo asked.

"Her mom abandoned her," Dou Dou said.

"No... no she didn’t, you made it up." Lan Xinyi wiped her tears.

"Hehehe..., you heard that," Dou Dou chuckled foolishly, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Tang Tang, who was in the swimming pool, was dog-paddling vigorously towards the direction of Duoduo and Dou Dou.
