The floats rolled forward, and the sound of their wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs was particularly clear on this quiet village road.
Although it is winter, the roadsides in the village are full of spring.
However, the two people in the car had no intention of watching at this time.
Jiang Xuxu had discovered long ago that when she got close enough, the golden light that should have only been radiating around Chu Beihe would cover her as well.
It was like layers of halos, and she was included in his halo.
But there has never been a moment in the past that is as close as it is now.
So close that she could clearly see every texture on his face.
"Look, it's clear."
It’s too clear.
However, as he finished speaking, a hint of regret flashed in Jiang Xuxu's eyes.
Her voice trembled!
Although it was not obvious, Chu Beihe could definitely hear it.
Sure enough, there was a barely perceptible smile in the dark eyes of the person opposite.
Jiang Xuxu suddenly raised his eyes and glared at him.
The smile in Chu Beihe's eyes deepened.
He knew he should step back now.
Although his fiancée is fearless, she doesn't like to be too close to others.
But, I don’t want to retreat.
It was like a silent declaration, or like a thin silk thread being pulled and stretched between the two of them little by little.
Suddenly, a flower flew in from outside the car.
Then, another one appeared.
Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe turned their heads at the same time and saw Hua Sui reappearing from nowhere.
In his arms was a large bunch of freshly picked flowers. At this moment, his long legs were striding beside the float, and he was diligently throwing flowers into the float.
He really liked the way everyone was throwing flowers and celebrating just now.
He likes this kind of excitement.
But Hua Sui was a little confused. When he went to pick more flowers, where did the villagers who had followed him to chase the float go?
Where did the twelve babies go?
…
The village parade ended in a lively atmosphere.
The moment they landed, Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe's exquisite clothes disappeared instantly.
It was as if the illusion had dissipated.
Even the pottery horses in front of the float were restored to their original appearance.
Jiang Xuxu looked at the two pottery horses, one large and one small, carefully picked up by the villagers and suddenly asked,
"Are these two Tang Da Ma and Tang Xiao Ma?"
Jiang Xuxu's sudden question made the villager holding the two colorful horses pause.
The village chief paused, but did not answer.
Jiang Xuxu didn't intend to let it go. If it was just a chance encounter, she didn't want to get too entangled in it.
Everyone has their own secrets.
But since she received their blessings, she also bore part of the cause and effect.
She could no longer pretend she knew nothing.
"All the spiritualized artifacts in the village only have half a soul. Why?"
She asked the village chief,
"Where did you leave the remaining half-souls?"
Lu Nanxing originally wanted to discuss with the village chief to let her ride on the float as well, but when she heard Jiang Xuxu's words, she couldn't help but look at the village chief and others.
When spiritual objects become spirits, the soul and body are equally important.
It would be fine if the soul was born with defects, but a whole village full of half souls is indeed a cause for concern.
The village chief pursed his lips and said nothing. Yu Bi only said,
"These are the affairs of the villagers of the Cultural Relics Village. You don't need to worry about them."
Jiang Xuxu looked at the jade disc for a long while, then suddenly said,
“After seeing your true form, I always felt that you looked familiar.
Add to that the phoenix crown you transformed into me today, the accessories on Chu Beihe, and this Tang pony...
If I'm not mistaken, you are all from the batch of cultural relics that were stolen abroad, right?"
Hearing Jiang Xuxu's words, Lu Nanxing and the others couldn't help but look serious.
The village chief and the villagers did not look too surprised. Instead, they looked at the few people with gentle eyes.
"yes."
The village chief said, "Most of the cultural relics in this village have returned to their homeland from the British Museum."
Lu Nanxing's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but speak,
“However, there has been no news online about a large number of cultural relics going missing.”
As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at the jade disc.
Could it be that...the cultural relics in foreign museums are all fakes???
Can't it?
As if knowing Lu Nanxing's suspicion, Yu Bi directly denied her guess.
“The items collected in the British Museum are all genuine.”
She paused and said,
“But we’re also the real deal.”
Lu Nanxing was confused for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Are both sides genuine?
"That's why the villagers only have half souls."
Jiang Xuxu's eyes flashed with pity, and he said, "You have severed your body and soul."
The villagers were silent, and the village chief just smiled helplessly when he heard this.
"Only in this way can we return to our homeland."
Lu Nanxing's eyes suddenly turned red.
“Why?! You have already transformed into spirits, you can go back whenever you want. Why do you still want to leave your real bodies in a place like that?!”
Although Lu Nanxing did not study cultural relics, he knew that tens of thousands of unique cultural relics in the country were taken away by those people through theft and robbery.
For so many years, I have been crammed in a museum, imprisoned and treated arbitrarily.
Since you can transform into a spirit, why not just bring your real body back?
The village chief looked at Lu Nanxing who was suddenly a little angry, and just reached out and patted her head to comfort her.
"If we flee back with our real bodies, once they find out, China will be regarded as a thief like those people in the eyes of the outside world.
Even if we are not discovered, we will never be able to reappear in the world openly again."
Lu Nanxing frowned.
