Passing through the obstacle avoidance, it seems like entering another space.

The antique courtyard is obviously underground, but it feels like it is above the ground.

Ye Guilan looked at the unfamiliar scenery in front of him and did not explore easily.

A faint fragrance floated in the space, Ye Guilan frowned, "Life and death? Sacrifice to spirits?"

There was darkness in the spiritual space, and the two people who should have been awake seemed to have suddenly fallen asleep again without any response.

How could it be so easy to destroy the shell? The shell that Ling Shuo attached so much importance to would naturally have specific means to protect it.

A laughter like silver bells suddenly came from the depths of the courtyard, and then a figure walked out from inside.

It was a little girl who looked to be only five or six years old. At this time, her hair was already very long, and the brown waves were very obvious, but she had not taken care of them and looked messy.

The clothes on her body were patched in many places, and there were even some tears without patches.

A small face that should have been beautiful was dirty and even had some small wounds, as if it had just come out of a fight.

Ye Guilan stood there, staring at the little girl in front of him with his dark eyes.

They were connected by blood, and no matter how much time was turned back, she could already recognize at a glance who the person in front of her was.

"Huh? Who are you?"

The little girl stared at Ye Guilan, and her sudden question made Ye Guilan freeze completely. It was impossible. How could her mother see her?

"Are you here to trouble me too?" The little girl looked at Ye Guilan, her face darkened, "What, are you going to take action?"

All the sounds were stuck in Ye Guilan's throat. She didn't know what to say or what to say.

Where is she? Is this a flashback or a fantasy?

Is this Ling Shuo's method or Wanqi Wujiang's?

"Hey! I'm asking you a question!" The little girl pinched her waist and puffed up her chest. "If you want to hit me, hit me. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it! Come on!"

Ye Guilan saw that her tiny arms were covered with scars, and couldn't help but rush forward with her hand.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

The little girl was about to step back in an instant, but she was not as fast as Ye Guilan. He grabbed her wrist. The little girl grinned and took a breath, "It hurts!"

She could touch it, she could actually touch it.

Ye Guilan stared blankly at the wrist she held. She had warmth and substance. She could really touch it. What on earth...

"Let go!"

The little girl who was caught twisted her wrist and saw that Ye Guilan had no intention of taking action. She twisted her wrist desperately and asked, "Who are you?"

Ye Guilan saw her twisting and tearing the wound again, and quickly let go of her hand, "You're injured."

Here, she couldn't hear any sounds from the spiritual space, nor could she open anything.

"What's the fuss about being injured? Of course you will be injured if you fight with someone." The little girl flicked her wrist, staring at Ye Guilan with her dark eyes, and took a few steps back warily.

Ye Guilan smiled. She looked at the shrunken mother in front of her, and the emotions in her heart continued to surge out.

No matter what it was, she was satisfied to see such a mother.

"Why are you laughing?" The little girl raised her eyebrows, and her messy hair looked more like she had a bad temper.

Ye Guilan knelt down and asked, "Do you have a comb?"

"what?"

"How about I comb your hair? I promise it will look good."

Figures, one large and one small, were sitting on the ground in the courtyard. The little girl who looked wary just now had completely surrendered to someone's hair-combing skills.

"You are good at combing your hair." The little girl took out the mirror and looked at it carefully. Her beautiful features were filled with a smile, "My name is Wanqi Wugui, what about you?"

"Ye Guilan." Handing her comb over, Ye Guilan reached out his hand and gently pushed her broken hair behind her ears, "It's so beautiful."

My mother is beautiful, she has been beautiful since childhood.

"Ye Guilan... it's a good name. Leng Buding sounded like he was talking about returning." The little Wanqi Wugui laughed, and Ye Guilan was stunned for a moment.

"Yes." Ye Guilan murmured, watching Xiao Wanqi Wugui stand up, "Are you a guest?"

Ye Guilan choked. Seeing that she seemed unwilling to answer, the little girl waved her hand and said, "It's okay if you don't say anything. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

She stood up from the ground, patted the clothes on her body, and after seeing a few rips, she couldn't help but sigh, "I'll have to mend it again when I go back. Hey, I'll have to be more careful next time."

"No return!"

With a call, Ye Guilan's scalp instantly became numb, and he subconsciously pulled the little girl into his arms.

Xiao Wanqi Wugui couldn't help but look up at her, "What's wrong?"

Another figure rushed out, that was Wanqi Wujiang.

Ye Guilan pursed her red lips and hugged the little girl in her arms tightly. The man in front of her was obviously Wan Qi Wujiang in his teenage years. Although his face was still very immature, his figure had grown much taller.

Not a short head, normal teeth and mouth.

Ye Guilan looked at more scars on his body and the same patched clothes.

"Did you fight with someone else again?"

Wanqi Wujiang strode over, as if he hadn't seen Ye Guilan, and all he could see in his eyes was Wanqi Wujiang.

The little girl turned her head in confusion, "Am I the only one who can see you?"

Ye Guilan subconsciously hugged her and backed away to avoid Wan Qi Wujiang's contact, but in Wan Qi Wujiang's eyes, the little girl was the only one who stepped back inexplicably, and couldn't help but frown.

"Come here and let me see where you are injured."

"Brother, can't you see..." Xiao Wugui pointed at Ye Guilan behind him, "The one behind me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the only one."

Wanqi Wujiang approached quickly and directly rolled up her sleeves with his hands, and saw several fresh wounds underneath.

Wan Qi Wujiang's thick eyebrows frowned, "You have the time to comb your hair, but don't you know how to treat your wounds?"

A pill was stuffed directly into Wan Qi Wu Gui's mouth, and Ye Guilan was so shocked that she yelled, "Don't eat it!"

"Wha, what?" Wan Qi Wugui was so shocked that she swallowed it and coughed awkwardly. Ye Guilan quickly patted her back, "Are you choking? Are you okay?"

"Cough cough, cough cough." Xiao Wugui coughed and his face turned red. Wanqi Wujiang was treating her wounds and snorted coldly, "Can you swallow the medicine and steal it from me?"

"Ahem! Brother, can you wish me a better life?" Xiao Wugui finally stopped coughing. After Wanqi Wujiang finished treating the wound, he sighed softly, "You only get a beating?"

"No! I beat him back! I knocked out the teeth of that so-and-so, and the bridge of the nose of that so-and-so was crooked by me!"

Ye Guilan couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. Her mother had a bad temper since she was a child.

Wanqi Wujiang reached over and touched the top of her hair, "Remember, you can hit harder next time. It doesn't matter if you kill her."

Xiao Wugui was speechless after hearing this. Ye Guilan immediately raised his eyes and saw Wan Qi Wujiang's dark eyes. There seemed to be a black hole in them, expanding infinitely.

He stood up and turned to leave.

"elder brother!"

Xiao Wugui shouted, and Wanqi Wujiang turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"Can you... don't go?"

Ye Guilan found that her mother clenched her little hand and looked very excited.

Wan Qi Wujiang looked at her little face, smiled and said, "If I don't go, do I need you to go?"

After saying that, he strode away from here. Only then did Ye Guilan notice that there seemed to be blood dripping on the ground from his feet.

"What does he mean? What do you mean, where are you going if he doesn't go?" Ye Guilan couldn't help but speak, but Xiao Wugui in his arms seemed to be unable to hear her.

All the scenes in front of me suddenly disappeared like ink. The moment they reunited, they were still in that courtyard, but Xiao Wugui disappeared.

Ye Guilan stood there blankly, looking at the exact same scene, not knowing how to react for a moment.

"Is it you?"

The voice immediately brought Ye Guilan back to her consciousness, and a figure appeared in front of her, as if it had been condensed with scattered ink.

It's no longer Xiao Wugui, but Wanqi Wugui who has grown up. It looks like he is about the same age as her.

Her hair is still brown and curly, but much smoother than when she was a child.

However, the wounds on her body were more shocking than when she was a child.

"...Wugui!" Ye Guilan called out and ran over to support her staggering body to the point of kneeling on the ground.

"I'm fine."

Wan Qi Wugui smiled and said, "How come you haven't changed at all, or am I the only one who can see you?"

Ye Guilan hummed and helped her sit on the ground. Although the clothes on her body were no longer as shabby as they were when she was a child, the patches were still there.

"Why are your injuries getting more and more serious?" Ye Guilan looked at her, "This time... it's you."

Wan Qi Wugui raised his eyebrows, "How do you know so clearly?" She took a breath, "Yes, you can't escape."
