Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 739 - 736: The Road Home

Apricot stared blankly at izi, and just as Dou Dou was beginning to feel impatient, Apricot suddenly broke into a smile, revealing an imnsely happy expression.

"izi, it’s so nice to dream of you. This ti the dream is so clear," Apricot said.

"Apricot..." izi didn’t know how to explain to her.

But before she could explain, Apricot bent over and hugged her close.

"This lucid dream is so wonderful, izi, I miss you... sobbing..."

Suddenly, izi’s voice sounded by her ear.

"Alright, Apricot, don’t cry, I’ll take you to the town."

Hearing this, Apricot felt a bit puzzled and turned her head to look around.

In the distance, a green mountain peak was shrouded in mist, the leaves were lush green, the air was humid, filled with the scent of earth.

In front of them lay a muddy dirt road, just after a light rain had passed.

mories that Apricot had forgotten began to erge from her mind, becoming clearer and clearer.

This was her ho. She looked down at herself and saw she had turned into her childhood self.

Clothes were dirty, with stains on the cuffs that had hardened into shells that glead.

She quickly turned her head to look toward the other end of the muddy dirt road and saw a low mud house appearing before her eyes, with an elder standing at the door, watching them from afar.

"Grandma."

Apricot stumbled and ran towards her, tears rolling down her cheeks.

The elderly grandmother ca forward to greet her, wearing a washed-out sky-blue jacket with beautiful patterns on the collar, though already faded, their past brilliance could faintly be seen.

Apricot was briefly stunned. Although she was now in her childhood form, she already possessed her adult mories. This should be a traditional clothing from so ethnic minority.

"Apricot, the mountain path is difficult to walk, stay ho and keep company."

Grandmother reached out and touched her head, the rough yet warm palm, giving her an incredibly real experience, making her feel like it wasn’t a dream at all.

Apricot didn’t answer her grandmother’s words, but instead, urgently asked, "Grandma, where is this place, where is our ho?"

But grandmother didn’t answer her either, just continued, "izi will soon return. I’ve told her to bring your favorite golden crispy treats."

"Grandma, you haven’t answered yet, where are we, what’s the na of this place?"

Apricot kept asking grandmother while "greedily" staring at her, wanting to rember every detail of her appearance.

But grandmother still didn’t answer, instead saying, "Later, feed the pigs. The rain has just stopped, and the mountain road is hard to walk. Don’t go collecting pigweed today."

At this mont, Apricot vaguely understood, gave grandmother a deep look, and turned to run towards izi.

izi remained standing there, seemingly waiting for her, never leaving.

"izi."

"Call Sister," izi looked at her with a smile.

"Sister."

Looking at her sister’s warm smile, Apricot slowed her pace, and her anxious mood seed to calm down.

"Apricot, let’s go. Stay close to my steps, don’t get lost," izi said with a smile.

Then she carried a big bamboo basket and walked forward. Apricot quickly followed, the muddy dirt road made it quite difficult for her small self to tread, her pants getting soaked with mud water.

Yet Apricot gritted her teeth and persevered.

At this mont izi turned around and said to her, "Apricot, walk on the grassy embanknt, it will be much easier that way."

Apricot turned her gaze to the narrow and winding path beside the road, the embanknt covered with weeds, so places even had thorns, maybe because of this, no one had completely trodden on it.

Apricot carefully placed her foot on it, although it was narrow and a bit difficult, it was much better than the ankle-deep muddy path.

"They’re so silly, don’t they know how to fly?" At this mont, a very discordant voice sounded beside them.

Apricot looked up, seeing two little girls squatting owl-like on a tree trunk nearby, looking at them with curiosity.

Apricot recognized one of them as the child who had just been riding a goldfish, the other one seed vaguely familiar, but she couldn’t rember where she had seen her before.

This sense of disharmony and abruptness made Apricot’s heart skip a beat because it indicated that the dream could wake up at any mont.

She was very interested in dreams and loved dreaming because only in dreams could she find enough warmth and comfort.

So she beca urgent again.

Quickly called out, "izi."

"Call Sister."

izi’s voice ca from in front, then she turned around to look at her.

Apricot didn’t dare to dwell too much, hurriedly inquiring, "Sister, where is this place?"

"This is Huangyan Village," izi pointed behind.

Apricot quickly turned her head and saw a village looming in and out of the morning mist.

"This is Dajiao Mountain Town," izi also pointed in the other direction down the road.

Apricot quickly turned back and saw an ancient little town appearing not far away.

Apricot was still looking carefully, and then heard izi say, "Do you rember?"

Apricot quickly nodded.

"Once you rember, you can find your way ho," izi said with a smile.

The surrounding scenery rapidly changed, and Apricot found herself standing on an embanknt.

The slope of the embanknt was covered with soft grass, across a river was a field of golden rapeseed flowers, swaying in the breeze, the air filled with the fragrance of rapeseed, peeking over the expansive fields, one could faintly see so tall buildings.

The scenery here once again sparked Apricot’s mories. This was one of her favorite places when wandering with izi in the past.

She hurriedly searched around, and sure enough, saw izi sitting on the grassy slope of the embanknt.

"izi."

Apricot hurriedly strode towards her.

izi heard her call and waved to her.

"Oh wow~"

At this mont, two children slid down the grass beside them, and the once still world seed to co alive.

"One more ti, one more ti..."

Dou Dou, who had slid to the bottom, was full of excitent.

"Sister, who are they?" Apricot asked in confusion.

"That’s Dou Dou and Duoduo. Because I t them, I could et you in the dream."

izi said as she waved at Dou Dou and Duoduo.

"You know this is a dream?" Apricot asked in surprise.

She thought izi was just soone she dread of, but it didn’t seem so now, and she felt sothing was amiss.

"Of course I know, don’t you also know? I’m izi, you’re Apricot..."

izi pointed at herself, then at Apricot.

Apricot looked at izi and nodded blankly.

"Do you still rember where our ho is?" izi asked with a smile.

Apricot sat down beside izi, her gaze fixed on the rapeseed fields in the distance.

The golden rapeseed flowers ford waves of gold under the breeze.

"Dajiao Mountain Town, Huangyan Village, right?" Apricot smiled at izi.

Her body began to ripple like water, gradually returning to her adult form.

From the perspective of an adult, izi was so small and seed very fragile.

"Apricot."

Suddenly izi called out to her.

"What?" Apricot looked down at her.

izi’s face was covered in tears at so point, making her look even dirtier.

"I’m sorry." izi forced out a smile that was more like a grimace.

The surrounding scenery began to shake, and everything shattered.

Apricot suddenly sat up in bed.

"izi."

She shouted, then looked around, whispering softly.

"Sister."

Tears pattered down; it turned out she was crying.
