Five years ago, your miracle was about to fail, so you used the rest of your life to bring about another miracle.
This also means that, in the villagers' memories, five years ago they just experienced another disaster, and the survivors only marvel at their luck without questioning anything.
"Your life is nearing its end."
"Even after you die, your soul will be scattered and you will not even have the chance to be reincarnated."
Is it worth it?
They sacrificed their bodies and souls just to maintain this miracle that lasted for ten years.
Such stubborn behavior made it hard for Zhang Yue to believe that the other party would so easily let go of some things as his life was about to come to an end.
"worth."
"Of course it's worth it."
Faced with Zhang Yue's questioning, Uncle Xia smiled.
“Many of them are people I watched grow up; they include my neighbors, my old friends, and my descendants.”
"I'm so happy to be able to see them for another ten years."
Uncle Xia's cloudy eyes darted around, his grayish-white eyes seeming to be looking back at the past ten years.
“I refused to give up before because I didn’t want them to leave with hatred and pain.”
"But things are different now..."
Uncle Xia took out a half-eaten pancake from his pocket.
The pancakes, which had been left out for two days, did not spoil despite the frigid weather; upon closer inspection, they still retained a pleasant aroma.
He spread the pancake out in front of him, his smile widening.
"With this, they can go and be reincarnated in peace."
Ten years ago, the shipwreck took away the entire village, but he was the only one who survived.
His body underwent a change due to extreme pain.
He saw the souls of everyone in Xiaohai Village.
Their deaths were too gruesome.
Those who couldn't swim suffocated to death in the sea, while those who could swim were trapped under the collapsed roof beams, their cries of agony uncontrollable.
The husband left the higher ground to his wife, while he himself was swept away by the waves.
The mother tried her best to lift her child, but she couldn't overcome the limitations of her mortal body and eventually sank into the unfathomable sea.
The child's screams echoed throughout the village.
How can a child who has lost the protection of his parents survive in those towering waves?
He died.
They're all dead.
In the end, he didn't even see the villagers' bodies.
The children who played with him every day, and his old friends who would play chess with him when they had nothing else to do.
And his wife, his son and daughter-in-law, and his granddaughter.
A tsunami so easily took everything away.
The remaining spirits gathered together, their resentment growing uncontrollably.
If things continue like this, this place will eventually turn into a ghost town. Once the villagers completely lose their minds and go out to commit evil, he won't even have a reason to stop others from eliminating evil.
So he used his own power to transform Xiaohai Village into a dreamlike miracle.
They came back to life.
Over the past decade, he has asked himself many times whether he regrets it.
The answer is always the same.
Even if he becomes neither human nor ghost, he will not regret it.
He bestowed a miracle upon Xiaohai Village, and now, he has received his own miracle.
The small pancake in his hand carries all his hopes; it can awaken the villagers' memories of their past lives and dispel the resentment in their hearts.
Come clean, leave clean.
How wonderful!
"I am the village chief, and I have not let my villagers down."
These are Uncle Xia's heartfelt words.
"I will send them off properly, I promise."
Zhang Yue stopped testing the waters and bowed to Uncle Xia to show her respect.
She has dealt with too many people and ghosts, and someone like Uncle Xia is extremely rare.
She will do her best to ensure these spirits depart peacefully.
...
"I have a little donkey, but I never ride it..."
Lu Wu was now close to Xiaohai Village. She hummed a children's song out of tune as she slowly walked towards her stall.
After yesterday's competition, the remaining prodigies are all very strong.
Therefore, Qin Zhan and the others stayed behind to discuss the next steps with the sect disciples.
Lou Xiaotian originally wanted to come with her, but Qin Zhan grabbed him instead.
Despite proclaiming that they were good brothers who would share both good times and bad, Qin Zhan was terrified that Lou Xiaotian would get to eat the delicious pancakes, so he used underhanded means to keep him there.
Who knew that a love lock could be used to tie two men together?
As the saying goes, if I can't have your heart, I'll at least have your body.
Lu Wu, whose thoughts had drifted off to the domineering CEO's forced love theme, was brought back to her senses by the barking of Da Huang, the dog.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Wu patted the big yellow dog's head.
Then you see both small animals looking into the dark grass.
This is a small, steep slope, with wild grass growing on one side below. The wind rustles through it, creating a slightly eerie atmosphere.
Who's there?
Lu Wu wasn't too worried, because she thought it was her group of diners who often did abstract things.
Sure enough, as soon as she opened her mouth, human voices could be heard.
"Now that you've found out, don't blame us! Everyone, charge!"
"Listen to me carefully, I planted this tree, I opened this road, and if you want to pass..."
A group of people emerged from the bushes with a whoosh, some with a few blades of grass stuck in their hair, looking quite disheveled.
They glared at Lu Wu, putting on their fiercest expressions, as if they wanted to stage a robbery.
Yes, that's the solution they came up with.
"I know the answer to this question. The next sentence is: 'Leave the small pancakes,' right?"
The familiar slogan made Lu Wu unable to resist grabbing the microphone.
"Alright, alright, I know you're here to buy pancakes, I understand, I understand everything."
