Jiang Suisui sat there quietly, his eyes focused and serious.
Li Yin's voice was tearful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from the bottom of her broken heart. Those memories rushed out like a flood that broke through the dam and drowned her.
Jiang Suisui didn't know how to comfort her. She opened and closed her lips slightly, but couldn't find the right words.
At this moment, Song Xu seemed to hear suppressed crying. The tightly closed door slowly shook, and his figure quietly appeared at the door.
Song Xu's footsteps were very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sad atmosphere. He walked slowly to Li Yin step by step, and then sat down gently.
There seemed to be a hint of confusion and concern in his dark and empty eyes. Although he didn't understand why his mother was crying, he knew that at this moment, he should stay with his mother.
Jiang Suisui's eyes moved back and forth between Song Xu and Li Yin, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
The air in the room seemed to be frozen, and it was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing.
After a moment's silence, Jiang Suisui resolutely raised his hand, gently patted Li Yin's slightly trembling shoulder, and said seriously, "Auntie, the master you were looking for before had evil intentions from the beginning. Behind his seemingly unfathomable words, he was hiding selfish motives. His real goal was to steal your life and take your vitality for himself!"
Li Yin's red eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Jiang Suisui in shock and disbelief. Jiang Suisui nodded seriously.
"Auntie, Song Xu seems to be lost in the depths of his own consciousness, believing that life is continuing as normal. During this period, he and you have been getting along very happily, and his feelings for you are deep and sincere. It is this attachment that has tied him tightly, making him unwilling to face the truth that you have passed away, so he has been lingering by your side."
Jiang Suisui paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Although that charlatan lied profusely, there was one thing he said that was actually a bit of a blessing in disguise."
"Everything in this world does follow the law of cause and effect. If Song Xu continues to stay with you like this, it will not be good for both of you."
"For Song Xu, because he violated the laws of life and death, he would be trapped between yin and yang, becoming a lonely ghost, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation."
Li Yin's face turned pale instantly. She subconsciously grasped Jiang Suisui's hands tightly, as if grasping the last straw. She asked in a trembling voice, "Suisui, is what you said true?"
Jiang Suisui gently held Li Yin's hand, trying to comfort her with his warmth. He said softly, "Auntie, don't worry. I've been practicing in the mountains with my master since I was young, and I know a little bit about the art. I'll help you remove the harmful spell on you first."
At this moment, Song Xu, who had been sitting quietly by the side, seemed to suddenly realize something. He stood up abruptly, walked quickly to Li Yin, and used his small body to block her and Jiang Suisui. There was a hint of uneasiness and vigilance in his eyes, as if he was silently resisting what was about to happen.
Jiang Suisui looked at Song Xu's actions and sighed slightly: "Song Xu, do you know? Auntie's life is fading away bit by bit. If you delay any longer, all the organs in Auntie's body will gradually wither. By then, everything will be irreversible..."
Song Xu's eyes were like a bottomless pool, dark and empty. But at this moment, there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.
Time seemed to stand still. After a long while, Song Xu's childish voice sounded softly, as if afraid of disturbing the fragile tranquility in the room.
He asked, "Will...my mom...be okay?"
These few simple words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Yin's heart again and again.
She looked at her son's thin body in front of her, and memories of the past came flooding back like a tide. Tears burst out and flowed freely down her cheeks. Those were bitter tears formed by a mother's deep guilt and reluctance to let go of her child.
Jiang Suisui looked into Song Xu's eyes. There was no fear in her eyes. Instead, there was a firm light shining like a star.
Her eyes were clear and calm, as if silently conveying a calming force to Song Xu, trying to dispel his inner uneasiness and confusion.
Song Xu seemed to get some kind of response from Jiang Suisui's eyes. He slowly moved his body to the side, as if he had let down his inner guard and made way for Jiang Suisui.
Jiang Suisui looked solemn. His hands quickly formed mysterious and complex hand seals and he muttered something. The low and clear sound of the incantation echoed in the house.
As she blurted out the crisp and powerful word "broken", the air in the room seemed to be violently shaken by an invisible force, and ripples invisible to the naked eye appeared. The whole space seemed to tremble slightly because of this force, as if an invisible storm had just passed through.
Li Yin felt that the heavy burden that had been pressing on her suddenly disappeared, and her body instantly became light. The long-lost feeling of comfort was like a spring breeze blowing on her face, slowly spreading throughout her body.
At this moment, a figure hiding in a remote village suddenly suffered an accident.
The man was wearing a black Taoist robe and exuded a mysterious and strange aura.
At this moment, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, his body trembled violently, and then he spit out a mouthful of blood. The bright and glaring red color looked particularly hideous against the background of his black Taoist robe, as if it was a sign of backlash from some evil force.
Li Yin looked at Jiang Suisui again, and this time there was no longer any of the initial doubts and temptations in her eyes.
If at the beginning she only regarded this little girl as a listener to her painful memories, then at this moment, deep in her heart, she firmly believed that the child in front of her might really be able to save her son's soul.
Li Yin held Jiang Suisui's hand and said, "Thank you, Suisui. Can I spend another day with my son?"
