On this night, the rest of life just passed by in a flash, but the ghost bird lived a lifetime.
The wooden pillow had a dream for fifty years, and the ghost bird experienced getting married, falling in love, having children, aging and dying.
The trivial things in daily life, watching the children grow up day by day, make the ghost bird know that it is a dream, but still can't help but get involved in it.
When life comes to an end, looking back, the ghost bird has understood the true feeling of being a mother.
When her children and grandchildren were around her knees and she took her last breath with cries, the ghost bird woke up from her sleep, and her face was wet with tears.
Feeling lost, looking at the baby sleeping next to her, she finally let go of her obsession.
Some things cannot be snatched away, such as the excitement of heart-blood connection, such as the peace of hearing his breathing, such as the peace of mind that will keep him alive for the rest of his life.
The ghost bird looked away from the baby, revealing a tenderness that softened the time in the room.
She turned around and took out the package, "This is the reward for your troubles these days." Gui Niao handed Yu Sheng five or six taels of money.
"More, more." Yu Sheng said hurriedly.
"Go on, I don't need it anymore." Ghost Bird said and put the copper coins on the table.
She took out some children's clothes, a rattle, and a nine-ring ring from the package.
"These are for her to wear and play with." Gui Niao handed it to Yao Zhuo, who had originally planned to live in seclusion in the mountains and raise her.
"Okay." Gui Niao smiled and clapped his hands, "I should leave too."
"Leave?" Yao Zhuo was startled, then sighed: "It's time to leave."
Since the ghost bird has given up her child, Yao Zhuo has no reason to capture her.
He tracked the ghost bird all the way from Linshui Town to the inn. He and the ghost bird battled wits and courage for several days and nights. Now when it was time to say goodbye, Yao Zhuo became lost.
It was just the departure of the ghost bird, but it was not the departure he understood.
"You are a good demon-catcher." After the ghost bird teased the child again, he waved his hands to Yao Zhuo and the others, and his body gradually turned transparent.
The ghost bird whose obsession has disappeared has become a ghost again, which can only be seen for the rest of its life.
"Where are you going?" Yu Sheng said.
"Reincarnation, looking for happiness in the next life." The ghost bird smiled and looked at the rest of its life, turning into little white light particles and disappearing in the air.
Yu Sheng reached out to hold the grain of light and noticed a grain of rice bead remaining in his palm.
The cold voice of the system rang in my ears:
Congratulations to the host for completing the mission [Summer of Ghost Birds]. You will be rewarded with two hundred merit points and the well will be upgraded to one level.
Before Yu Sheng could be happy, the system added: "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the precious item 'Pearl of Rice'. The reward is worth 100 merit points."
After the system finished speaking, the beads of rice melted in the palm of the hand, and a strong warm current flowed from the arms to the limbs.
The most comfortable thing was the broken arm. The wound seemed to be healing and there was a slight itching.
"Oh." Yu Sheng let out a comfortable groan, which attracted the happy eyes of Yao Zhuo and Bai.
"What are you looking at? I'll stretch my legs." Yu Sheng glared at Yao Zhuo, picked up the money and walked out of the room.
During this walk, I felt something different for the rest of my life. My body was much stronger and my senses were much more sensitive. I felt that I could easily detect things around me.
This kind of awareness is not limited to the five senses. The whole body's feeling of the outside world is extended, giving the rest of life the illusion that the world is under control.
When Aunt Qing came downstairs and saw Yu Sheng, she stood up in surprise. She felt something was different about Yu Sheng, but she couldn't tell.
"What's wrong with you?" Aunt Qing asked Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng came back to his senses and said, "No, no, I am full of strength now."
He clenched his fists, "This pillar is fragile in my eyes now."
"You want to cripple this arm too?" Aunt Qing came over and held his hand. After checking his meridians, she put her hand under Yu Sheng's ribs.
"Itchy." Yu Sheng smiled and squatted slightly.
"Don't move around, be careful with your arms." Aunt Qing warned and then looked him up and down.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Yu Sheng said.
"No." Aunt Qing said, she was just lamenting the changes in her body for the rest of her life.
Overnight, Yu Sheng became much stronger and could compete with the San Qian martial arts master.
She attributed all this to Yu Sheng's life experience, thinking that Yu Sheng had grown up overnight.
But why did he grow up on this night instead of gradually? After thinking hard, Aunt Qing turned her eyes to Yu Sheng's injured arm.
"Can a beating make him grow?" Aunt Qing thought in her mind, eager to give it a try.
"There's nothing wrong, so what are you looking at?" Yu Sheng took a step back warily.
"Let's wait until the arm heals." Aunt Qing was thinking about it and said at the same time: "What are you carrying in your hand?"
When Yu Sheng looked at the money on his left hand, he understood why Aunt Qing was looking at him. She was waiting for him to hand it over.
"Here, the ghost bird paid for it." Yu Sheng handed it to her, "She has already gone to reincarnation."
After receiving it, Aunt Qing felt a little uncomfortable and touched the bun on the back of her head.
"You're sitting crooked." Only then did Yu Sheng see it and pushed her into the vacant room next to her.
These upper rooms were equipped with bright bronze mirrors. Yu Sheng asked Aunt Qing to sit down and help her untie her bun.
Seeing that he was very skilled with one hand, Aunt Qing asked curiously: "Why do you want to learn this hand? You won't give it to yourself quietly, right?"
"Am I that kind of person?" Yu Sheng's hand passed through the black hair, "Don't you think it feels comfortable to pass through the girl's soft black hair?"
Of course Aunt Qing didn't understand, so she could only attribute it to Yu Sheng's quirks, and reached out to help Yu Sheng comb his long hair.
It was peaceful for a while, and you could hear the sound of rain falling outside the eaves.
An indescribable ambiguity arose in the silence, making Aunt Qing feel a little uncomfortable.
To dispel these, she asked: "Is the ghost bird willing to be reincarnated like this?"
"Well." Yu Sheng said, "A dream that lasted for decades made her understand that what she was obsessed with was not something she could get in this life."
"A crazy person turns into a ghost and becomes a monster." Aunt Qing sighed.
Because I only have one hand for the rest of my life, it took a little longer. One after another, other people in the inn also got up.
When Yu Sheng and Aunt Qing walked down the wooden stairs, Cao'er hurriedly came down from the stairs, passed by Yu Sheng and then came back.
She gestured with her forehead and Yu Sheng's shoulders with her hands, "Hey, why did you grow so tall overnight?" Cao'er said in surprise.
"You can see clearly." Yu Sheng said as he lowered his head and saw that his trouser legs were much shorter, but they were not like this when he got up in the morning.
Aunt Qing also saw it from behind, and thought that she would bring a good piece of fabric with her when she came, which could be used to make clothes for Yu Sheng.
"Of course, surpassing you is my goal, so I won't be the lowest." Cao'er said frustratedly: "But how come you have grown taller?"
Yu Sheng said: "I eat a lot of vegetables, so they grow quickly. You also know that vegetables have the most spiritual power."
"Really?" Cao'er hesitated. Do you really want to give up revenge, stop eating meat, and kill traitors just to grow taller?
The ghost also jumped down the stairs happily. After seeing Yu Sheng, he rolled his eyes and waved to Ye Zi who was serving the two old men.
Ye Zigao's face suddenly felt full of joy, and he quietly asked Yu Sheng: "Shopkeeper, won't the son who was born in silence be mute?"
"Get lost." Yu Sheng said.
This kid, if you give him a little good color, he has already considered having a son.
It's too arrogant to let his maid have a son.
Ye Zi raised his lips, and just as he turned around, Yu Sheng called back, "Let's go to the well and have a look."
"What's so interesting about the well water?" Ye Zigao followed Yu Sheng outside.
The drizzle was still falling, and when they walked towards the edge of the well, they saw Maomao lying under the buffalo trough, with the donkey's face sticking out from between the stones for some reason, grinning at Yu Sheng.
"Did you get him drunk yesterday?" Yu Sheng said.
"Sooner or later, that vat of wine will belong to him. It's not bad to drink it all at once." Ye Zigao said.
