Chapter 891 Chapter 8: They died not to become a burden to us
Li Muhan checked Xie Zhenchen's condition. He was a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen, but he didn't suffer any other injuries.
But unfortunately, if they had arrived a step later, this woman would have died at the hands of Meng Yang.
"Why would you do such a thing?"
Yue Linglong asked.
"Didn't you say that she's just a woman and not worth lingering on?"
All the words that Meng Yang had said before were now hitting Meng Yang himself one by one.
He smiled bitterly, then sighed and said.
"Yeah... I should have let it go a long time ago, but it would be nice if a relationship was so easy to let go."
He looked up at Xie Zhenchen who was still gasping for breath.
"Do you know how much I wanted to kill you right there in the funeral hall when you three told me the truth? I wanted to smash your heads in front of her funeral hall."
"But I couldn't help it. I didn't have that kind of strength back then. I was too small, hahaha... but look at me now."
He clenched his fist towards Xie Zhenchen.
"In order to make you pay the price, I have been waiting and enduring. Whenever you start to forget and move on, I will use some means to drug you or send people to cause trouble. In short, I can't let you forget her, absolutely not..."
"So...it was...you all this time?"
Xie Zhenchen asked while looking at Meng Yang while sobbing.
"Me? No...it was Yingxue's ghost. She made me do this, you know?! Every night when I close my eyes, I see Yingxue in front of me! She asks me! Why! Why don't I help her get revenge!!"
"I thought about it! I thought about letting you go!! I saw you blaming yourself and feeling guilty every day!! I saw you wanting to get out of that shadow!! But I can't do it!! I can't let Yingxue down!!"
Looking at the almost crazy Meng Yang, Yue Linglong sighed.
"...The only person who hasn't gotten over it is you, Meng Yang."
"What did you say?" Meng Yang looked at Yue Linglong coldly.
"Are the dead really more important than the living?"
"You little girl, you understand..."
"I understand."
Yue Linglong took a step forward. The moonlight shone through the hospital window glass onto her face, reflecting the crystal tears in her pupils.
"He was clearly so afraid of death, so attached to the mortal world, yet he resolutely sacrificed himself to the point of not even having the chance to reincarnate, just to let a little girl with no blood relationship live, even if his broken life could only buy the girl ten years of life..."
Tears streamed down Yue Linglong's face.
It seemed that at this moment, she finally vented the emotions that had been suppressed deep in her heart and unable to be expressed in the past few years.
"Like you, I am shrouded in the shadows of the dead, filled with doubt, resentment, and self-blame. But we have forgotten what vision those dead people have given us."
Meng Yang was stunned. He didn't understand what the girl was saying.
But from the girl's eyes and trembling voice.
He knew that the girl was suffering the same pain as himself.
"What they truly wished for was for us to live well...to live our own lives, and not be haunted by the shadows of the past! They didn't leave this world to be a burden to us!!"
Yue Linglong’s final roar also moved Li Muhan’s heart.
The image of the former frivolous old Taoist priest and the little child following behind him seemed to appear before his eyes.
Master, Master~
【Raise your hand before speaking! 】
Master, I want to eat candied haws.
[Eat a ball! If you become as fat as a ball, who would want you?!]
Without any warning, the figure who had protected her from the wind and rain disappeared that day.
I didn't even have time to say goodbye.
And that girl was forced to grow up on that day. She tried hard to act like an adult and to do things that seemed almost impossible to others.
ten years.......
This is the countdown of her life and also a deadline she sets for herself.
She has no life of her own, and she will spend the next ten years chasing after that non-existent shadow, criticizing herself with the most stringent demands.
Ten years later, I will repay my master with my best self.
but......
"Is this best version of myself... really what he expected to see..."
Tears dripped onto the floor.
Yue Linglong's body was trembling slightly.
Meng Yang also lowered his head dejectedly, tears flowing out of his eyes involuntarily.
"No... Yingxue is still calling me. She wants me to avenge her... Including me... We all have to pay the price..."
The man was still shrouded in the shadow of the past.
Yue Linglong said after wiping her tears with the long sleeves of her Taoist robe.
"Okay... since you listen to Yingxue so much, let me show you her with my own eyes."
After she finished speaking, Yue Linglong's figure disappeared instantly, and the next moment, she appeared in front of Meng Yang like moonlight.
Before Meng Yang could react, the whisk swept across his eyes, and a cool feeling instantly penetrated into Meng Yang's eyes.
Then Meng Yang heard the girl in front of him recite a spell lightly.
[When the mind is clear and the nature is revealed, the spirit is naturally pure, the heart is as calm as water, the spiritual light is reflected, and the eyes of heaven are opened.]
In an instant, Meng Yang felt a little dizzy. When he regained consciousness, he found that there was no one in the ward.
Even Xie Zhenchen, who was lying on the hospital bed, was missing.
Meng Yang was very annoyed and felt that he had been fooled. Just as he was about to chase after him, he heard a dripping sound behind him, like the sound of water dripping on the ground.
At the same time, a chill rose from behind.
Meng Yang slowly turned his head.
Then I saw a dark shadow with disheveled hair in the dark corner of the ward, where the moonlight could not reach.
She was petite, with long hair, and she was soaked, with water stains constantly dripping onto the floor.
Then, she slowly approached Meng Yang step by step, making terrible whimpering sounds.
Meng Yang was stunned.
He watched the dark shadow approaching him step by step, and just as the dark shadow came to his side.
Meng Yang finally couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly hugged the shadow tightly in his arms.
"...I miss you...I miss you so much, I really miss you...Yingxue."
"Ah...why didn't that scare you, you idiot."
The girl was startled instead, and then she gently stroked Meng Yang's broad back.
"...Xiaoyang, you've grown... so tall."
