Ye Ya blinked, and the picture dissipated.
She was stunned for a while, then reacted and pushed Ye Qingheâs arm, âBrother, I found Ziyu, I know where he is!â
The rapid shout made Ye Qingheâs consciousness return. He struggled to support his head, and spat out scattered words between his lips and teeth, âYou⦠do?â
Ye Ya gestured with her hands and feet, âIn front of a large stone monument, there are many, many such stones next to it, and only Ziyu is there alone.â
â¦â¦Stone monument.
â¦â¦Many such stones.
Ye Qinghe got an idea at first glance, and he whispered a word, âCemetery.â
Ziyu must have gone to the cemetery!
He went to find Mother!!
Ye Qinghe propped up his body, picked up Ye Ya, and walked out of the parking lot.
âYe Qingheâ!â
Ye Linchuan, who found them, roared behind him.
Ye Qinghe stubbornly clenched his lower lip, speeding up as if he hadnât heard a sound. He lost Ye Linchuan and called a taxi, âMister, go to Songhe Cemetery.â
The car started, and through the rearview mirror, Ye Qinghe saw his fatherâs figure chasing. The tall and straight body gradually lengthened into a small black dot as the car drove, and after a while it completely disappeared from his gaze.
Ye Qinghe narrowed his gaze faintly and held Ye Ya tightly in his arms.
âBrother, what is the cemetery?â
There was no cemetery in the spiritual land. All living things after death would be buried in the spiritual land. In the coming year, the soul would be reborn and turn into a new life and return to the earth. The cycle goes on and on, and life is endless.
Ye Qinghe stroked the soft hair of the little girl and explained gently, âThe place where Mother is buried.â
Ye Ya couldnât help looking at the white cat.
The decrease in spiritual power caused the catâs body to shrink significantly. The snow-white cat curled up quietly and gracefully on Ye Qingheâs shoulders, closing its eyes as if sleeping.
ââShe did not choose to reincarnate after her death, but turned into a guardian spirit to accompany her eldest son who needed companionship most.
On the way, Ye Linchuan made several phone calls, but Ye Qinghe didnât answer any of them. Finally, he turned off the phone and got off with Ye Ya at the entrance of the cemetery.
The sky was cloudy and foggy, lush and shady trees covered the mountains, and the stone steps wind up the mountains one after another, like a ladder leading to the kingdom of God, with no end in sight in the mist.
Yu Yan was buried here.
That was their mother.
Ye Qinghe hadnât been here for a long time, and he felt more pain every step of the way up. His fingertips holding Ye Ya were as cold as snow, and the pupils of his beautiful eyes were shrouded in tearful mist.
âZiyu is over there!â
At the end of his gaze, Ye Qinghe saw Ye Ziyu sitting cross-legged in front of the black tombstone, his small body looking like it was about to be swallowed by the mountain mist.
There were two bunches of orange wildflowers in front of the tombstone, which were still very fresh. Ye Ziyu probably picked them when he came over.
âZiyu!â Ye Ya let go of his brotherâs hand and ran over, âBrother Ziyu, how can you run out alone without me?â She was a little sad.
Ye Ziyuâs face was very pale, and his empty eyes reflected the photos on the tombstone.
Yu Yan was still very young when she died.
Pointed chin, peach blossom eyes, and a slight smile, just like those beautiful ladies in the Republic of China period. There was a touch of gentleness and nobility in her coolness. Looking closely, it was definite that Ye Qinghe got her eyes.
Seeing the photo and Ye Ziyu fascinated staring at the photo, the white cat leaned on Ye Ziyu with great sadness, silently comforting him.
âZiyu, itâs time to go back.â Ye Qinghe took his arm.
Ziyu didnât move.
He was very numb, âBrother, where do you think Mom went?â
Ye Qinghe avoided his gaze, âI donât know.â
âWhy⦠Why didnât mom come and take me away? She didnât even come back to visit.â Ye Ziyuâs lips trembled and he stared deeply at his mother smiling softly in front of him. âI secretly watched a horror movie while you were away. The horror movie said that people will become ghosts after death, but why didnât Mother come back? Is she worried about scaring me?â
âZiyuâ¦â¦â
âDad doesnât love us at all.â
âZiyu, stop talking.â
âWe have actually become orphans a long time ago.â
âZiyuâ¦â Ye Qinghe hugged him with one arm, âPlease donât go on.â
They were huddled together, desperately entangled, only depending on each other.
Ye Ya stood quietly behind with a small school bag on her back, suddenly making up her mind.
âBrother Ziyu.â Ye Ya walked over quickly. With her two small hands, she pulled him up from the ground with force, and dragged him to a place not too far away. After making sure that Brother could not hear her, she whispered, âI can get your mother back.â
Her eyes flickered with a firm light, making it hard to doubt the possibility in the words.
In fact, Ye Ziyu would not doubt it.
Sister was an elf. She had magical abilities. She could see things that ordinary people couldnât see, so maybe she could see his mother.
Ye Ziyu wiped away tears, âYou can?â
âMhm.â Ye Ya nodded again, âI can get your mother back, but Ziyu has to promise me one thing.â
He listened to Ye Ya quietly.
âYou canât run around anymore. You have to eat well and sleep well. You have to be happy. When you get better, your mother will be able to come back.â
She said a lot in one breath, and the original âone thingâ became several things when she said it.
Only then did Ye Ziyu understand that this was another lie to him.
âYaya, even if I get better, my mother wonât come back.â
Ye Ziyu knew better than anyone that the dead could not come back.
âAre you saying that Yaya is lying?â Ye Yaâs two thin eyebrows came together, âI donât lie, only adults lie.â She raised her hand high and swore to the sky, âAs long as Brother Ziyu recovers well, I swear Mother will come back!â
She had a four-leaf clover that can grant wishes.
As long as the little leaves can grow up faster and grow up well, she could give part of her wish to Ziyu. At that time, her corpse flower mother would come back, and the guardian spirit mother would also come back; at that time, she would go home to find the little monsterâs parents, and Ziyu would have his own parents to accompany him.
Everyone would be fine.
It would all be fine.
