    After saying this, Apa Huang wanted to grab Xiang Ya's hand again, but the aunt next door couldn't stop her.

    Feeling that Xiang Ya was being dragged by someone, Zhang Fanyu also grabbed her other hand forcefully.

    The current situation has become that Xiang Ya is being dragged by two people respectively.

    However, Father Huang seemed unable to see the existence of Zhang Fanyu, his eyes were fixed on Ya, with a sad expression on his face.

    "Ya Ya, don't forget Father and Mother, okay?"

    Even the aunt next door couldn't help agreeing softly.

    It seems that if she leaves with Zhang Fanyu this time, she really won't be able to return to the inn.

    Xiang Ya guessed that the other party didn't notice Zhang Fanyu's existence, because when Zhang Fanyu kept calling her in a low voice, the man had no extra reaction.

    Combined with what Zhang Fanyu said just now, she quickly figured out the key to this matter—the informed Yi Jia told Zhang Fanyu that her own dream was different from other people’s, and Zhang Fanyu was asserted that only he could take her out of this dream ...

    This sentence actually shows that her mission is different from everyone else's. She was brought into this world on purpose.

    Even if Zhang Fanyu didn't follow her here, she would be taken to Rumeng Inn intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Zhiliu, passers-by, rumors of gods and ghosts, or clues related to the truth of the dream would always guide her come here.

    As the man in front of her who was pulling her desperately said——

    She always has to remember the way home.

    And the reason for her to stay here so urgently is the wish of this ghost couple? Or is it something the real owner of the dream wants to do?

    Or rather, both, even including Xiang Ya's weird sense of belonging after entering the inn.

    Three things brought her back here, and will stay here.

    Xiang Ya is not an idiot, her strange emotions, and the sense of familiarity that keeps surging after seeing these phantoms, let her understand that what Huang Daddy said is not a lie.

    Maybe she really made such an oath that she would come back every life after life.

    If Zhang Fanyu hadn't appeared, she might have been dragged by her inner self to stay.

    But fortunately, she is still sober.

    If you can't get the complete truth from the ghost couple now, then turn your attention to the manipulator who has always been invisible at the end—the master of the dream, Mei Qingniang.

    It was also the person who stunned Zhang Fanyu and took Xiang Ya to another strange space, Mei Chenmeng who was acting in the world of living people.

    Xiang Ya endured the pain of her arm being pulled, and she looked at Apa Huang calmly.

    Suddenly said: "Daddy Huang, where is Qingniang? I want to meet Qingniang first."

    Xiang Ya wanted to test Mei Qingniang's role in forcing her to stay here.

    The strength of the man's arrest gradually loosened, his face hesitated, and he murmured to himself: "Yes, you and Qingniang have the best relationship, you must want to see her when you come back..."

    But the kind-hearted aunt next to her looked at her husband in embarrassment, and even looked at Ya several times, and said anxiously: "Husband, Qingniang is no longer at the inn, so I can't say..."

    "Where did she go?" Xiang Yajie asked.

    Father Huang was distracted by Mei Qingniang's message, he let go of Xiang Ya's hand, Xiang Ya took it back, and patted Zhang Fanyu who was still holding her hand tightly behind him, suggesting to ask him to wait a little longer.

    Now it is a rare opportunity to find out about Mei Qingniang from another angle.

    At this time, the diners inside seemed to have also heard Xiang Ya's questioning. Some of "them" knew Qingniang, and they couldn't help answering loudly: "Qingniang? Isn't it the white fox that Mrs. He you like to play with the most?"

    "You often call it Qingniang," the guest smiled knowingly at the others, "We regular customers have hugged it several times..."

    "Miss He, isn't it?" the guest laughed loudly.

    But after saying these words, the diner's figure swayed like water again, this time it didn't become solid again like before, but gradually faded and dissipated.

    Only the guest's questioning sound remained in the air, and the chopsticks he was holding on to fell on the table with a "da" sound. The sound was not too loud, but Xiang Ya heard it.

    "Aniang, you haven't answered other people's questions yet." Xiang Ya played the role of the ancient daughter freely.

    She didn't miss Mrs. He's slightly relaxed expression after the guests disappeared.

    Mrs. He seemed very worried that others would tell about Mei Qingniang.

    It's just that Xiang Ya didn't expect that Mei Qingniang's identity was not a ghost, but a white fox.

    And it seems that I still have a good relationship with this white fox...

    'Fox? But when I met Mei Qingniang in the town, she did show the characteristics of a living person, and isn't the dream dungeon only born after people die and become ghosts? Could it be that she had borrowed the dead body to return to life, or was there some other reason? '

    When Xiang Ya was making various guesses, he suddenly remembered a detail that Zhang Fanyu said just now, but Manager Li, who was a ghost, could not feel any signs of the female paper piercing.

    Is there any connection between these two things?

    At this time, Mrs. He looked at her in embarrassment, but Huang's father beside him didn't hesitate for a long time, as if to keep her, he did not hesitate to reveal Mei Qingniang's trace.

    "Qingniang has enough time to leave, but she will come back here to find you, little Ya Ya, be good, you wait here, Qingniang will come back to us soon..."

    Xiang Ya has only one feeling for this sentence - too little information.

    ‘Is Yaohu originally staying in the inn to repay his kindness? Why do you want to leave? Why did she come back to us, is it also the binding effect of the oath? Am I really the lover from the past and present that Li Gui is waiting for? ...'

    There are too many questions, and she needs to ask more detailed questions.

    Xiang Ya frowned, and was about to ask further, when he found that even Huang's father's body began to dissipate gradually.

    ‘As long as Mei Qingniang’s origin is mentioned here, it will be eliminated! '

    Xiang Ya had already reacted, and the question rushed to her mouth: "Mother, Qingniang her..."

    And Mrs. He looked like she had expected this situation long ago, she let go of her hands helplessly and looked sideways at the familiar but unfamiliar Xiang Ya.

    Faced with the unavoidable questioning, she completely gave up avoiding the topic, but stared at her nostalgicly just like Apa Huang saw Xiang Ya just now.

    It's just that this time there is still nostalgia and reluctance in the eyes.

    "We are really going to disappear." Mrs. He said softly.

    Father Huang beside him had disappeared, and the lively crowd in the inn seemed to use the entrance as a barrier, separating Xiang Ya, Zhang Fanyu and Mrs. He.

    Mrs. He suddenly stretched out her hand, and caressed Xiang Ya's face with her rough hand: "Little Ya Ya, you have grown up a lot this time, you used to take a long time to grow slowly..."

    "How long is a long time?" Xiang Ya couldn't help asking without avoiding the palm.

    Mrs. He fell into the memory, and smiled softly: "The meaning of many lifetimes."

    "If you want to know about Qingniang, little Ya Ya, you have to know everything about her, but you can't understand it with only your incomplete memory in this world, because you and we were also bystanders..."

    "Your memory will be cleared every life, even after I finish speaking, you will soon forget it, unless you take the initiative to come back to the inn, these memories will come back."

    "Until your next life begins, you will leave here again, and your soul will be thrown into the world."

    "Little Ya Ya, this is the epitome of all your previous lives—constantly saying goodbye and returning, with serious soul injuries and karmic possession."

    ——Afterwards, the body is finally covered with karma, which will be ruthlessly stripped off.

    Because there is no place for you in this huge world, you should not exist in this world.

    When Madam He said this, her expression was in a trance. She seemed to think of a sunny afternoon long, long ago, when Xiao Xiangya, whose soul returned to the inn not long after his death, squatted by the well and looked at the swaying reflection in the water, dazed.

    She came to Xiao Xiangya, who was only waist tall, and said, "Little Ya Ya, in fact, you don't have to leave us."

    At that time, the well water reflected Xiang Ya's cute and well-behaved face, and she replied seriously: "I will not leave you, I will perish sooner or later, I will try all methods to fight."

    After hearing this, Mrs. He thought to herself: 'So are you using this stupid method of going out with the blank memory after cleaning again and again to fight against it? It's all useless...'

    "That's all you want to be human?" she blurted out.

    At that time, Xiang Ya raised his head, stared at Mrs. He with his big and black pupils, and suddenly took her hand and stroked his face.

    "Aniang He's hands are big and warm. Being human can have such a temperature. It's as warm as sunlight. I like it very much."

    "I like it very much, I like it very much."

    Xiao Xiangya repeatedly emphasized his liking.

    Mrs. He laughed uncontrollably, and couldn't help stroking Xiao Xiangya's face back and forth.

    "Silly boy, don't know that after becoming a human being, people's hearts are not always warm..."

    ...

    Mrs. He has long seen that Xiang Ya will not be able to come back to the inn this time, because her soul did not come back because of death, because Xiang Ya who can come back to the inn should only call her A Niang He just like calling Huang Auntie .

    Neither she nor her husband is Xiang Ya's biological parents. The real Xiang Ya has no father or mother. When they were still human, they just picked up this child who had lost their memory and regarded her as their daughter.

    From their youth to their old age, Xiang Ya would always disappear, and would return to the inn every few years, but their appearance and stature didn't grow much. At that time, they finally noticed Xiang Ya's abnormality.

    It turned out that the daughters they once regarded as living beings were nothing but a mass of Qi that had almost disappeared into the world.

    But this mass of anger has always wanted to be human.

    At this moment, Mrs. He changed from a strong aunt to a gray-haired old lady. This is her real appearance after death.

    She had to look up at Xiang Ya with difficulty, and asked, "Even if you do such futile work, the memory of knowing these things may be wiped out in the next second, so do you still want to listen?"

    Tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of Xiang Ya's eyes, and she suddenly changed the question, asking instead: "If you say it, will you disappear like those illusions behind?"

    Mrs. He compassionately wiped away her tears with her thumb.

    He smiled and said: "Well, after your death, Huang Adie and I waited for you to come back in this life. It was Qingniang who helped. Looking at it now, it can be regarded as waiting."

    "This is our agreement with Qingniang. We can stay here and wait for you, but we cannot divulge her information."

    Mrs. He didn't tell the truth, Qingniang actually wanted to force Xiangya to stay here so that they wouldn't get separated.

    But at present, this coercion cannot make Xiaoyaya stay.

    Xiang Ya's tears poured more and more, she didn't know why she was sad, she obviously didn't know them.

    Why wait for her to come back, is it worth it?

    "Then I don't want to listen! I'm very good now, I can analyze the truth." Xiang Ya replied with a similar temper.

    Mrs. He walked forward tremblingly and hugged Xiang Ya. This time, there was warmth in her body, but she did not.

    Mrs. He was very happy because she knew that Xiao Ya Ya had finally succeeded.

    "It's too late," she smiled, "but it doesn't matter, I'm willing to talk to you in detail."

    The author says:

    In the second chapter of the main story, Ya Ya experienced a miserable experience, but there are always people around who are willing to love her!I have to hug my bud buds woohoo~
