The Three-Life Stone

The next morning, Yu Le and Sui Rou set out for Yang Yu's home.

In the final analysis, it's just an answer. Even if you don't get to the bottom of it, it has already happened and the established facts are there and must be faced. Escaping can only bring temporary peace of mind.

The high-speed train was running fast, Suirou sat quietly in her seat, her eyes full of melancholy. She kept looking out the window, not taking in any of the scenery that was passing by so quickly.

Suirou's heart was in a state of conflict. On the one hand, she hoped that time could slow down, even slower. It seemed that if the train could arrive at the destination a little later, she could retain a little more hope and have a little more expectation. She prayed silently, hoping that everything would still be in time, and that fate would give her a chance to breathe.

On the other hand, Suirou was eager to get to Yangyu's home as soon as possible. She couldn't wait to know the truth that troubled her day and night.

She knew that Yang Yu had an average relationship with his family, but they were blood relatives after all. If they had also forgotten, would she have any reason to question them?

Arriving at the entrance of the village, she looked at the house numbers and followed them one by one. Her palms were already sweating unknowingly. Yu Le followed her silently all the time, holding Sui Rou's hand tightly.

He could understand Suirou's feelings when she lost a friend. Everyone has someone they care about, but he couldn't completely empathize with Suirou.

To him, Yang Yu was just a stranger who did not exist in his memory at all, and there was no connection between them. If Sui Rou had not cherished this friendship so much, then to him, this person might not be as important as a stray cat on the roadside.

Yu Le cares about Sui Rou, so I care about the people Sui Rou cares about.

The villagers in groups of two or three looked at them, but they ignored them completely. An enthusiastic woman watched for a moment and whispered to someone around her before taking two steps forward: "Little girl, are you here to look for someone?"

"Yes, Auntie, we can just look for it ourselves." Sui Rou nodded. She knew that asking the villagers was the quickest way, but she didn't dare.

She didn't know how she would explain Yang Yu's disappearance if others said they knew her. She didn't know whether she would continue to look for her home if others said they didn't know her.

"I can tell you're from out of town. It's so slow to look at the house numbers one by one. Why don't you just say your name? Everyone in the neighborhood will know you. It'll be faster and save a lot of trouble."

"I...I'm looking for Yang Yu..." Sui Rou said uncertainly.

"Look, see? Just go straight along this road, then turn left and then right."

Suirou's eyes sparkled: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Sui Rou rubbed her hands and found that her palms and backs were already soaked with cold sweat. She walked in the direction the villagers pointed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Does this mean that she exists?"

"Well, don't worry." Yu Le took out a tissue and helped Sui Rou wipe the sweat off her face.

"We can just say we are here for a trip and visit our old classmates. How about this reason?" Sui Rou's tone became lighter. She secretly made up her mind that she would draw her appearance after returning home. She would not forget her.

The trunk of a bare magnolia tree was in front of a house. Opposite the house was a small vegetable patch. Suirou's face lit up with joy: "This is it."

The door of the house was open, and two people were eating inside. The older man and woman should be Yang Yu's parents. Sui Rou gave a professional smile and walked towards the door side by side with Yu Le.

Before Sui Rou and Yu Le could speak, the people in the room noticed something was wrong and asked first, "What's going on?"

Yang Yu's mother had already seen Sui Rou and the old man talking. As they walked towards her door, she felt alert. She... didn't know these two people.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Yang Yu's classmate. We came here to play and visit her home."

The smile on Sui Rou's face was a little stiff when she met the stern faces of Yang Yu's parents, but she still greeted them politely. Yu Le kept smiling and observing their reactions.

"Claws? They're our son's boots." The woman interrupted the old man from drinking with chopsticks, and motioned for the old man to look at the person outside the door. The expressions of both of them eased slightly.

"Would you like to have a drink? Yang Yu is not at home. What do you want from him?" The old man turned his head and narrowed his eyes.

"Thank you, uncle. It's okay. We'll just come and take a look and leave." Sui Rou took Yu Le's hand and turned around, tears falling uncontrollably.

Yu Le put his arm around Sui Rou's shoulders and walked towards the path beside him. The sun was about to set, and even though Sui Rou was wearing a down jacket, she still felt the cool breeze that bit her bones.

The touch against Yu Le's body was so unreal, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar. The cold engulfed her, she could not hear any other sound, and could not feel any warmth.

All Yu Le could do was to stay by her side quietly. It would be useless to say anything. He could only wait quietly for Sui Rou to calm down.

Even if the whole world was turned upside down, he would not dare to say that what Suirou said was definitely false. Those years were so real, and that living character was described by her in his mind. If these were all Suirou's imagination, it could only mean that Suirou was mentally abnormal. However, after so many years, he knew her appearance very clearly.

Yang Yu, a girl, has a younger sister, how could she be a son?

Would her life have been better if she had been a son?

Before anyone had time to think about these things, Qin Yunhuai was driven out by Lu Xi in disgust. He curled his lips and came to an imaginary boat. He and an old man sailed in the imaginary lake.

"Boatman, do you think I can be blamed for this? I have erased all memories of her from this world, and you have rationalized everything. Who would have thought that there was such a deep connection between her and me."

"It is against the will of heaven. Karma and reincarnation are always hard to understand, let alone the karma between two lives."

"I didn't expect that Xia Jin and Haitang's fate was not broken. She was her godmother in that life, but broke her promise. In this life, she became her mother-in-law. The escaped soul even became her good friend in this life. This kind of connection is indeed incomparable to ordinary people." Qin Yunhuai sighed.

The ship sometimes appeared to be illusory and sometimes disappeared in the void, and soon arrived at the world where Yu Le and Sui Rou existed.

"Are you ready? The thousand years of cultivation were gone the day before yesterday, and now it's another hundred years of cultivation."

"You don't understand. I'd be willing to be an ordinary person if I could be with her."

Qin Yunhuai's eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world, or maybe everything in the world was just like this in his eyes. His whole body showed surging power, and the murderous aura continued to spread around him. He concentrated on tampering with Sui Rou's memory and the memories of the people he met today. He did not notice that behind him, the white light emitted by Lu Xi's fingers formed a barrier on his body.

Luxi's eyes were firm, and a touch of emotion flashed through her heart: Silly boy, you want to protect me and have been giving to me, and I also want to protect you and do something for you.

The boatman had an indifferent expression. He watched everything indifferently, making hand gestures with his fingers and muttering to himself, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.

In the blink of an eye, Suirou's face returned to calm. She looked at the pond in front of her and asked Yu Le with a peaceful smile: "Look, isn't this duck afraid of the cold? It's swimming in the water in the middle of winter."
