Chapter 253 is over.
"sugar……"
"Eat candy..."
Uncle Fu looked at Xiaoying with bright eyes, raised his tightly clenched fist, and offered it to Xiaoying.
As he spoke, his hand slowly opened, revealing a transparent candy shadow that faintly shimmered in his palm.
He looked at Xiaoying with eyes full of expectation, his eyes brimming with pure joy and anticipation.
Xiaoying looked at the candy, then at Uncle Fu's gentle smile.
Go get it.
Zhong Suisui shook its little paws, withdrew from Xiaoying's hand, and spoke in a deep voice on her head.
His usually childlike voice subtly revealed a hint of authority.
"Uh-huh."
Xiaoying nodded subconsciously, looking at Uncle Fu's phantom image, and carefully stretched out her little hand. When her fingertips actually touched the candy, she felt the warm touch on her fingertips...
Xiaoying's eyes lit up instantly.
"Thank you, Grandpa Fu!"
Xiaoying looked up at Uncle Fu with sparkling eyes and thanked him, then gently took the candy.
"eat……"
Uncle Fu looked at Xiaoying with a smile and urged her vaguely.
Eat it, it's good for you.
Xiaoying's mother became a little nervous upon hearing this.
She didn't know what it was and was worried it might harm her daughter...
After all, Xiaoying had been having recurring fevers and colds lately, and she was really terrified.
But looking at Zhong Wan's calm demeanor, and then at her daughter's joyful smile,
Finally, her gaze fell on Uncle Fu's honest face, and she couldn't help but sigh heavily in her heart, suppressing the words she was about to say.
But her hands were still nervously praying.
Zhong Wan didn't notice her actions; instead, she was focused on Uncle Fu's illusory figure.
If she wasn't mistaken, after Xiaoying ate the candy, Uncle Fu's phantom seemed to have become much more solid...
Lin Yan'an and Chen Mo noticed Xiao Ying's mother's gaze. Seeing that she was just standing there quietly without disturbing Zhong Wan, they ignored her and tacitly surrounded Zhong Wan in their protective circle.
The commotion here didn't disturb Xiaoying.
She nodded obediently and put the shimmering candy into her mouth.
The candy had no physical form; it melted in the mouth.
Xiaoying was so fast that she couldn't even react in time.
She couldn't taste what the candy actually tasted like, but she could clearly feel a warm current instantly flowing down her throat and slowly into her body.
She vaguely felt her body become lighter, and her mind, which had been somewhat groggy from days of intermittent fever, instantly cleared.
The most noticeable change was in her face; compared to her previous paleness, it had instantly become much rosier.
"It's so sweet! Thank you, Grandpa Fu!"
Xiaoying thanked him with delight, feeling that she had never felt so relaxed before.
Xiaoying's mother watched closely from the side; she clearly saw the change in Xiaoying's expression.
I saw that the healthy color had returned to her face.
"Thanks……"
Xiaoying's mother thanked her repeatedly with great emotion, her eyes warming up once again.
Uncle Fu seemed to hear her words; the smile on his face grew even more satisfied and serene.
He looked up at Xiaoying's mother, then at Shi Lei and his wife.
Then look at Xiaoying, who has stopped crying and is now smiling.
Finally, the gaze fell on Shi Xiaoming, whose eyes were bloodshot.
"Xiao Ming..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaoming was taken aback, then stepped forward with delight and excitedly exclaimed, "Uncle Fu!"
"Don't cry..."
"Don't cry!"
Uncle Fu watched him repeat it over and over, his voice growing clearer with each repetition.
Shi Xiaoming nodded vigorously, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face haphazardly, looked at Uncle Fu's illusory figure and forced a bright smile, choking out, "Yes, don't cry!"
He sniffed and nodded vigorously, repeating, "Uncle Fu, I won't cry!"
"Eat candy..."
Uncle Fu chuckled and raised his hand, whereupon another shimmering, star-like candy shadow appeared.
Shi Xiaoming struggled to control his emotions, maintaining that smile as he choked out, "Okay, I'll eat..."
That's what he said, but the moment he got the candy, he raised his hand and held it to Uncle Fu's lips, stubbornly looking at Uncle Fu and saying, "Uncle Fu, you eat it!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu's semi-transparent silhouette slowly lowered its eyes, looking at the candy that was being offered to its lips.
"Uncle Fu, you should eat too!"
Shi Xiaoming stubbornly held up the candy, wondering if a miracle would happen after Uncle Fu ate it.
He clearly saw the change in Xiaoying just now.
His hope...
hope……
Even Uncle Fu can have miracles...
Uncle Fu looked at the candy, then at Shi Xiaoming's stubbornness, and a brighter smile spread across his honest face.
He didn't refuse; instead, he raised his hand and lightly grasped Shi Xiaoming's arm.
He lowered his head slightly, allowing the shimmering candy to merge back into his illusory form.
"sweet……"
Uncle Fu smacked his lips in satisfaction once again.
The windmill in my hand moved automatically without any wind, and faint starlight flickered in the distance.
The starlight slowly spread from the windmill to his illusory image.
He looked at Shi Xiaoming quietly, smiling contentedly.
That smile was clean and radiant.
"Xiao Ming..."
"Uncle Fu".
"Uncle Fu!"
Shi Xiaoming was initially somewhat surprised and astonished as he looked at the starlight that suddenly appeared on his illusory figure.
But unexpectedly, Uncle Fu's phantom became increasingly clear and blurred amidst the starlight...
This time, he no longer gazed intently at the end of that road.
Instead, he looked at the crowd in front of him with satisfaction, his smile becoming more and more relaxed.
"Thanks……"
His voice was muffled and ethereal, his gaze falling on Zhong Wan and the others, and he nodded slightly, as if expressing his final gratitude to them.
The windmill in his hand continued to spin rapidly, and the starlight on it became even more dazzling.
The light seemed to ignite his entire soul.
But it wasn't glaring; instead, it felt like the warm sun in winter...
[Ding! Detected that the spirit's obsession has been resolved. Mission complete.]
[Task rewards are being distributed...]
[Distribution complete.]
[Task statistics: Merit points +3.]
[Host's current merit points are 0.5. Please continue your efforts and strive for greater glory.]
The system notification suddenly rang in Zhong Wan's mind, and even its cold voice seemed much more lively than before.
But Zhong Wan had no time to pay attention to that; her gaze was fixed on Uncle Fu's phantom image.
Watching his phantom instantly transform into countless shimmering points of light within the radiance, drifting upwards like scattered stars.
The light did not disappear immediately; instead, it swirled and danced in the air.
Then it slowly blended into the snowflakes that had just fallen from the sky.
It slowly intertwined with the falling snowflakes, until they were no longer distinguishable.
Until... they could no longer see it.
Under the old locust tree at the village entrance, it was quiet and empty.
Only snowflakes remained, falling silently.
everything……
It's all over.
