After saying the words, Nan Yuanman's face flashed with annoyance. She didn't know why, but she had inexplicably made this request to the mother in front of her.
Mingming was still not entirely sure that the person in front of her was her real mother.
Nan Yuanman's round face tightened a little. She pulled the blanket up to her chin and, before Bai Wenying could speak, said in a muffled voice, "It's okay if you can't. Yuanman can sleep by herself."
How could Bai Wenying possibly refuse her child's request?
“Of course!” Bai Wenying said, and just like when she was alive, she carefully got into bed, lay down next to Nan Yuanman through the blanket, and looked at her with exceptional tenderness.
The cool temperature seeped through the blanket onto Nan Yuanman. She secretly glanced at Bai Wenying, then quickly closed her eyes again.
She closed her eyes for only a few seconds before opening them again to peek, only to meet Bai Wenying's smiling eyes.
"What's wrong?" Bai Wenying gently patted her through the blanket. "Can't sleep? How about Mommy sings you a lullaby to help you fall asleep?"
Nan Yuanman lay on his side facing her, blinked his clear black and white eyes, and nodded hesitantly: "Okay."
She... has never heard her mother sing a lullaby before!
Bai Wenying hummed a soft lullaby, gently patting Nan Yuanman's back.
Nan Yuanman closed his eyes and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
A small head peeked out silently from the small handbag she had placed on the bedside table. Little Grass was quietly staring at Bai Wenying through the opening of the handbag.
If Bai Wenying has any intention of harming Nan Yuanman, she will decisively kill her.
Even the next day, when Aunt Zheng's loud voice woke Nan Yuanman, Bai Wenying did not lay a hand on her.
Nan Yuanman groggily crawled out of bed. Her hair, which had been messy all night, was disheveled, and her neatly combed pigtails had come undone on one side, making her look like a bird's nest.
She rubbed her eyes and immediately saw Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen sitting on the stool, looking at her expressionlessly.
Nan Yuanman paused slightly, a hint of guilt flashing across her face. Yesterday, during the soul-summoning ceremony, she had summoned her mother's spirit, and her attention had been entirely focused on her mother, causing her to forget about Sister Xue Liu and Brother Yi Chen...
But they are from the Xuanmen sect after all, and their souls have left their bodies, so they should have ways to protect themselves... right?
It doesn't matter if she has no means of self-protection; she can try to summon her soul again after she has finished eating.
Oh, right!
Nan Yuanman's still somewhat dazed mind instantly cleared. She hurriedly looked around the room. Where was her mother? Where did her mother go?
Could it be that she... disappeared while she was sleeping?
Nan Yuanman felt a tightness in her chest and a stinging sensation in her nose. She muttered softly, "What... he left without even saying goodbye."
"Say something?" Bai Wenying's clear voice came from behind Nan Yuanman. Her eyes lit up and she turned around abruptly.
Then Bai Wenying slowly floated in through the window, looking like she had just returned from outside.
Nan Yuanman: "Where did you go?"
"I took a walk around the village, and it has changed so much," Bai Wenying exclaimed.
When she first arrived in Batang Village, there were more tiled houses than small bungalows; now almost every household lives in a small bungalow.
The muddy land has been transformed into a cement road, making it much easier for people to walk on.
She saw Nan Yuanman's two crooked braids, leaned forward and pointed, "Do you want Mom to braid your hair?"
A hint of anticipation flashed in Nan Yuanman's eyes, and she nodded: "Okay, thank you."
She moved a small stool over and sat down obediently.
Bai Wenying floated behind her and deftly tied a pair of cat ears into Nan Yuanman's hair.
She nodded in satisfaction, unable to suppress a smile: "When I saw the video before, I thought I would definitely give my daughter this cute hairstyle in the future, and now my wish has finally come true."
Nan Yuanman couldn't help but stand next to the mirror, looking at herself from left to right, and even jumped up and down a couple of times, watching the cat ears made of hair on her head sway like jelly.
She boasted, "I'm so pretty."
Bai Wenying: "Of course! My baby is the cutest, most, most, most adorable!"
Nan Yuanman couldn't help but smile from the praise, and skipped off to wash up.
After washing up, she went downstairs. Aunt Zheng had already finished making breakfast. Seeing her adorable hairstyle, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Yuanman is amazing! She can even style her own hair now! Those ears are so cute!"
Nan Yuanman's lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but show off: "My mom did it for me."
Aunt Zheng: "Oh, your mother did it for you, no wonder...?"
Wait a minute!
Her body suddenly stiffened, and she asked who had pricked her?
Wasn't Yuanman's mother dead for several years already?!
Aunt Zheng watched as Nan Yuanman climbed onto the stool and sat down, ready to eat. She swallowed hard, not daring to ask or go over, and hurriedly said, "Yuanman, you eat first! I'll take you to the fields to have a look later!"
Nan Yuanman: "Okay."
Bai Wenying watched as Aunt Zheng ran away as if fleeing, and then looked at Nan Yuanman's proud face. She couldn't help but chuckle, but her heart ached.
if……
If she were still alive, her perfect display of wealth would be admired, instead of her having to secretly rejoice like a little mouse, as she does now.
Bai Wenying blinked rapidly, suppressing the regret in her heart, and sat to the side with a smile, watching Nan Yuanman eat like a little hamster.
Nanman eats very slowly, chewing each bite carefully, and it takes him almost an hour to finish a meal.
After she finished eating, she obediently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, washed them, and put them in the sterilizer before calling Aunt Zheng to come out and take her to the fields.
Aunt Zheng restrained herself from glancing at Nan Yuanman's side and led her to the field: "Look, these red spider silks are all made by those spiders, they're so dense."
Aunt Zheng pointed to a conspicuous patch of red in the vegetable garden, frowned, picked up a stick, and went inside: "It's only been one night, and the spider webs have multiplied again. It's so annoying!"
In Nan Yuanman's eyes, these were not ordinary spider silks; she could sense an exceptionally eerie and heavy yin energy emanating from them.
She walked over to the nearest spider web and took a look. She discovered that this spider web was not the diamond-shaped one she usually saw, but a circular one, with a pattern similar to the yin and yang symbols.
only……
Why does this Yin-Yang Bagua look incomplete? It looks strange.
Nan Yuanman frowned, took a picture of the spider web pattern with her watch to record it, and then ran over to look at the other spider webs.
Besides the incomplete Yin-Yang Bagua diagrams, there are also triangular ones, circles with five-pointed stars inside, and all sorts of other strange and unusual patterns.
It's as if... someone set up an array here and deliberately left this key point.
But would anyone be so stupid as to expose the core of the formation?
