After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 384 Floating Life

Fu Wennian and Jiang Junze stood on the periphery, protecting him while the others were trying to figure out how to leave this strange stage courtyard.

Suddenly, Xu Youan opened his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

found it!

-

After plucking the last of the day's magical bamboo shoots, the girl washed her hands by the river, picked up her basket, and headed back. Smoke curled from the village, and the fragrant dinner was already on the table.

Follow the bluestone path, cross the stone bridge, turn a few corners, and walk into a house that is neither too big nor too small.

There was a swing in the yard, the grape trellis was covered with lush green leaves, and there were several pots of spiritual flowers and green onions at the door.

A little further in, on the stone table, you can see dried vegetables and fine noodles drying in the sun.

The girl put down the bamboo basket and shouted to the house: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Two old men then walked out of the room, one of them wiping the water droplets on his hands with his clothes as he walked, and the other one holding a cup of steaming hot broth in both hands.

The old woman came forward first and wiped the sweat off the girl's forehead with her sleeve. The old man pulled out a bamboo stool for them from behind and asked his wife and daughter to come and sit down to eat.

The girl blinked her big eyes, hugged the old woman's arm coquettishly, and followed her to sit at the dining table with a happy look on her face.

The two old men kept picking up food for the girl. The girl had a smile on her face. She ate with big mouthfuls and acted coquettishly towards them, telling them about the interesting things she had encountered when she went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. When she got excited, the three of them laughed together.

And outside this courtyard full of laughter and joy, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.

There was a knock on the door.

"Mom, I'll go check the door!" The girl volunteered, left the table, and ran to open the bolt.

He saw a young man he didn't recognize standing at the gate of his own courtyard. He was handsome, with a clean face and a flowing white robe. He looked like the immortal king in the New Year pictures.

The girl blinked and asked in confusion, "Excuse me... who are you? Who are you looking for in my house?"

The young man stared at her, seemingly in a daze. After a long while, he spoke dryly and called her, "Senior Sister..."

The girl was stunned and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but the next second her face turned pale and she squatted down, holding her head in pain.

Panic flashed in the boy's eyes, and he immediately bent down to help the girl, but she grabbed his arm tightly. After a while, the girl opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

All the innocence and naiveté faded from the girl's eyes like a tide. She looked at the boy in front of her, her lips trembling as she whispered, "Junior Brother."

Xu Youan lowered his eyes to look at her, his crow-feather eyelashes trembling.

"Senior Sister, I'll take you out."

Thinking of all this, Jiang Liqian shook her head and turned to look at the old couple in the courtyard who were chatting and fanning themselves while waiting for her to come back for dinner. A hint of loneliness could not be suppressed in her eyes, but she said, "It's not just me here. Nian'er and Shen Qingqing are here too. We must find them and leave together."

Xu Youan was silent for a moment and didn't refute a word.

He obeyed all his senior sister's instructions.

"This is a floating world drawn from someone's memories. That's why you, Senior Sister, have forgotten your past and are playing a role here. I believe they are the same."

Jiang Liqian pondered: "In other words, you can't restore your memory by yourself, right? But I think this makes sense."

Xu Youan nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Liqian asked him curiously, "Junior brother, how did you find me?"

You have to know that a person's memory is as vast as the ocean. When a person is alone and immersed in it, it is like a drop of water meeting the ocean. How difficult is it to find it?

Xu Youan raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Jiang Liqian with eyes as bright as stars: "No matter where Senior Sister is, I can always find her."

No matter how long the cycle of time passed, he never missed her figure, let alone the memory of a mere person...

His eyes were too bright. Jiang Liqian felt as if her heart was severely burned by something. She subconsciously avoided his sight, and felt a faint heat behind her ears.

She looked away and said hurriedly, "This village is not big. Let's... let's split up and look for them. Maybe we can find them... I'll go this way!"

After saying that, she hurried around the alley without looking back.

Xu Youan looked at her hurriedly leaving, his eyes getting darker and darker, and silently closed the gate of the courtyard for her little by little.

His eyes swept across the simple and scattered villages, and he clenched his sleeves slightly.

If he remembered correctly, he had seen this village before - it seemed, it seemed... in Zhuanling Peak!

So, the master of this floating life realm is...

Jiang Liqian walked away at a faster and faster pace, but after a while she slowed down and thought carefully about where Song Nian'er and Shen Qingqing might appear.

In this floating world, she plays the role of the old couple's daughter. Her range of activities is her home and the hillside behind it. She can pass through the back half of the village, but she has never seen Song Nian'er, which means that they are most likely in the middle or at the entrance of the village.

The junior brother would go to the village entrance, and she would go to the center of the village to look for each house one by one.

Jiang Liqian did it as soon as she thought of it. She set off immediately, turned into an alley according to her memory, and knocked on the doors of every house.

After knocking on more than a dozen doors, he only saw unfamiliar faces. It was not until the 22nd door that Jiang Liqian caught a glimpse of a familiar silhouette.

But this one is a bit difficult.

This is a famous wealthy family in the village. Their house is very large. Compared with other families in the village, this family not only has a grand main courtyard, but also a tall embroidery tower.

The space in the embroidery building is limited and is surrounded by very high parapets, which cast large areas of shadow on the main building, making it look very depressing.

There is no staircase connecting to the embroidery building. There is only a square exit that can accommodate one person. Going up and down can only be done by a movable wooden ladder.

What Jiang Liqian saw was Shen Qingqing, who was locked up in this tall embroidered building, gazing into the distance through the half-open window with a blank and boring look.

This family considered themselves superior and were always thinking about how to marry their "daughter" off to a wealthy family to bring them more benefits. The purpose of building this embroidery tower was also to prevent their "daughter" from meeting others easily and thereby increase her status.

Jiang Liqian wants to see Shen Qingqing, but she's afraid they won't agree.

She is now trapped in the floating life realm and cannot use her spiritual power. She must figure out a way.

Jiang Liqian caught a glimpse of someone coming out of the back door with a large basin of laundry in his hand, and immediately had an idea.

She followed the man all the way to the river, then pretended to pass by casually and approached him, saying, "Auntie, you have so many clothes to wash today?"

The woman turned around and saw that it was the daughter of the couple behind her who had grown up in old age. She sighed and said, "We can't help it. The young lady has been in a bad mood recently and has been trying to make things difficult for us servants..."
