The scene changed rapidly, and it was unclear how much time had passed.
"Xiao Yao? Xiao Yao, are you home? Uncle Dazhi has come to see you."
Lin Dazhi, whose hands were still bandaged, carried a basket of food and gently knocked on Lingyao's courtyard gate.
A dark figure flashed past through the crack in the backlit door. Yin Ming could imagine that small figure standing behind the door, but he didn't know why it hadn't opened.
Lin Dazhi had clearly also noticed the fleeting black shadow, and he asked softly, with a hint of confusion:
"Xiao Yao, what's wrong? Are you angry with your uncle? Has your uncle not come to see you these past few days?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yao, I've been sick these past few days and couldn't come. But I've been thinking of you. Now that I'm better, I came to see you right away."
"Little Yao, don't you want to open the door and see your uncle? Uncle brought some delicious food!"
Lin Dazhi waited for a long time, but there was still no movement inside the house, so he couldn't help but sigh.
When he woke up, he didn't see Lingyao. He asked the other villagers and found out that Huzi had said such harsh words to Lingyao.
Lingyao clearly took it to heart, otherwise he wouldn't have returned here alone.
While he was still lying in bed, he became increasingly angry and gave Tiger a severe scolding.
Although he didn't know that he was chopping firewood with his right hand, the axe somehow slipped from his hand, turned around, and injured his right hand.
But this was purely an accident, how could you blame Lingyao? He didn't believe in curses that harm people.
Lin Dazhi had considered taking Lingyao back, but he was worried that Lingyao would continue to be criticized, so he had to give up the idea.
For now, all we can do is let him move back to his own home and wait for this matter to fade from people's memories. As time goes by, the villagers will realize that he is just an ordinary child and their opinion of him will gradually change.
At that time, he will adopt Lingyao again.
As for why Lin Dazhi insisted on adopting Lingyao, it was because Grandma Ling had always treated the people in the village very well, and Lin Dazhi had received a lot of care from her when he was young.
Lingyao's parents had also been kind to Lin Dazhi.
Now, only Lingyao remains in their family. How can he bear to let his benefactor's child wander alone?
Putting all that aside, Lingyao is only three years old now, and still needs to be taken care of.
We're all from the same village, and as neighbors, it's only right that we look out for each other.
Seeing that Lingyao was determined not to come out, Lin Dazhi did not press the matter too much.
He placed the basket he was carrying at the entrance of the courtyard, told him to remember to come out and get something to eat if he got hungry, and then turned and left.
Yin Ming looked at the baskets placed at the entrance of the courtyard and sighed silently. It seemed that there were still many good people in this village.
Just as described in the novel, some villagers, seeing that Lingyao had become an orphan at such a young age, felt sorry for him and would occasionally help him out.
Wait, wouldn't that mean...?
Yin Ming's face suddenly darkened.
He had been so engrossed in watching the show that he almost forgot the book mentioned that every villager who helped young Lingyao met a terrible end!
Thinking about the fates of these good people, Yin Ming simply couldn't bear to look anymore.
He could only silently curse in his heart, "Damn those Demon Sect elders! Damn those Dark Guards!"
Lingyao, who was standing in front of him, also collapsed to the ground, slumping down and hugging his knees.
Clearly, he had recalled those painful memories and knew the ending in advance.
Even knowing the ending, there's still no way to change it...
The overwhelming sense of suffocation made even Yin Ming, an observer, feel his breath catch in his throat.
Not to mention Lingyao, who personally experienced all of this in his childhood, watching helplessly as it all repeats itself.
This feeling is no less than that of a drowning person struggling and sinking in the water, forced to repeatedly experience the despair of gradually losing oxygen until suffocating.
Just thinking about it is devastating.
Waaaaah, his Lingyao is so pitiful, waaaaah.
Yin Ming stared intently at Ling Yao in front of him. Ling Yao's current state resembled that of a dejected little dog, soaked to the bone by a torrential downpour and homeless, radiating an aura of despondency.
Yin Ming unconsciously clenched his fists.
I really wanted to pull him into my arms and tell him that everything was over and that he didn't need to be afraid because no one could scheme against, hurt, or bully him like that anymore.
I really, really want to.
But Lingyao seemed completely unaware that Yin Ming was standing right behind him.
In fact, Yin Ming had wanted to approach him the moment he saw him, but...
However, in Yin Ming's illusion, the man in white sealed away a part of his memories in order to better confuse him.
Yin Ming was unsure whether Ling Yao in front of him also had a memory sealed away.
If Lingyao has truly forgotten something, there's no guarantee that Yinming won't be in danger if he rashly acknowledges him now.
After all, although his memories were lost, his cultivation at the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Realm was still there, so the man in white had no reason to seal his cultivation.
wrong……
After thinking it over carefully, Yin Ming suddenly realized that he might have been being too cautious.
No matter when it is, Lingyao probably won't lay a hand on him.
It's actually quite embarrassing to talk about this, but it's an undeniable fact.
Lingyao only seemed to treat Yinming coldly on the day he was reborn and Yinming faked his death; at other times, he was very loving.
As long as Lingyao's memories don't stop at that day, then Yin Ming has nothing to be afraid of!
Thinking of this, Yin Ming mustered his courage and stepped forward, reaching out to cover Ling Yao's fixed gaze from behind.
"Don't look, and don't think."
