Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

Chapter 19 The soul returns to its hometown

Ling Mengxue approached the tombstones and found that they were covered with dense words. The two tombstones were very clean, and there was a faint smell of alcohol around them. Someone must have come here to clean it not long ago and offered wine to the deceased again.

The front of the tombstone reads:

To the Brave

Here lie the loyal comrades and true warriors.

He did not abandon his duty out of fear,

Now, he rests forever in this humble room.

On the back of the tombstone it reads:

Don't worry my friend, you will have it all soon.

And smile at the sadness of the past,

Your name will be engraved here

Don't shed tears.

because,

I will protect you silently

Looking at the two stone tablets, Ling Mengxue felt that she needed more information to verify her guess. She did have a bad feeling that perhaps Xiao Jiang's parents were no longer alive, but Xiao Jiang knew nothing and just stayed at home stubbornly waiting for his parents to come back. Moreover, although Xiao Jiang was an adult, he looked very immature, like a child of only seven or eight years old.

So Ling Mengxue began to search carefully in the places where she thought she might find clues. Perhaps something would help her guess.

Finally she found a notebook with a missing page among a pile of books scattered on the ground.

It read: "I have gone to Bubulu to ask for medicine for Jiang'er's mental problems. I believe there will be results in the next few days. After I finish my last mission, I will resign from the Qianyan Army. Then we will move and no longer have to live so cautiously."

Ling Mengxue sighed in her heart, it turned out that Xiao Jiang had mental problems, so he acted like a child. But it was also good this way. His parents were probably killed, and his father probably died in the last cruel mission. In the end, he was unable to return to his long-missed wife and children, nor was he able to realize his family's wish to start over.

Xiao Jiang's mother was probably caught by bandits who suddenly came up to the mountain to rob. In order to protect her poor son, she came up with a quick idea to play hide-and-seek with Xiao Jiang, which saved the foolish Xiao Jiang from the disaster. However, she herself was probably doomed to die. In the end, she never waited for her husband to come home.

At this time, Xiao Jiang had already closed the door. Although there were many things she wanted to ask Xiao Jiang, she was afraid that it would not be possible today. Ling Mengxue decided to come to Xiao Jiang tomorrow, even if he played hide-and-seek with her all day. Moreover, the two fairies at the door of their house also made her very concerned. She had to confirm some things before coming back.

With this slightly complicated and heavy mood, Ling Mengxue quickly returned to Wangshu Inn. She still needed to consult Xiao on some things. Perhaps as an immortal, he knew more about immortals.

As expected, Xiao was waiting for her at Wangshu Inn. After handing him today's portion of almond tofu, Ling Mengxue asked the question she wanted to ask: "Xiao, what do you think of immortals?"

"Hmm, fairies?" Xiao lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "As for the origin of fairies, you can refer to the book "Jueyun Jiwen". The book believes that the existence of fairies can be traced back to before the war between demons and gods. They are the product of the splitting and transformation of the good demons or the ancestors of fairies after their death, rather than the product of the death of ordinary people."

"But, perhaps there is another possibility. Fairies may have some kind of relationship with deceased humans that we don't know about. If humans have any particularly strong wishes before they die, they may become fairies and return to the place they want to go back to. It's just that they have forgotten their past, so they often need passing travelers to take them home. Of course, this is just my personal guess."

"Thank you so much, Xiao. It's really nice of you to ask you! To thank you, I'll give you a double portion of almond tofu today!" After listening to Xiao's unique insights, Ling Mengxue felt as if a world of enlightenment had suddenly dawned on her. It was indeed as Xiao said, fairies might be the product of humans' strong desires before death. Since the extreme desire of the living may summon the Eye of God, if the obsession of the dead reaches its extreme, can they also turn into fairies and return to the place they wanted to go when they were alive?

Although he didn't know why Ling Mengxue was so excited, Xiao was still very happy to get two plates of almond tofu at once! However, before Xiao could say anything else, he found that the white-haired boy seemed to have something urgent and hurried away.

"There is actually something that can make him anxious, and I don't know what it is." Xiao also felt surprised, which was rare. Although some of the boy's behaviors and actions were strange, he was usually relatively stable. He didn't know what made him so concerned.

"A fairy spirit?" Looking at Ling Mengxue's receding back, Xiao fell into deep thought.

She had to find the other fairy no matter what! If Xiao's inference was correct, then there was no doubt that the other fairy was the father of Xiao Jiang who was waiting for her to bring back!

Xiao Jiang's mother was murdered near her home, so she appeared near the tombstone, and his father...

No, I need more information! Thinking this way, Ling Mengxue came to Xiao Jiang's door again. She had already thought about it. If Xiao Jiang had rested, she would come again tomorrow. Before that, she would search the entire Tianheng Mountain and bring back Xiao Jiang's father who had sacrificed himself outside and wanted to go home to reunite with his wife and children!

Fortunately, Ling Mengxue, who climbed up the mountain panting, saw Xiao Jiang outside again, who was still cheerful.

"Hey, when will mom and dad come back?" Xiao Jiang obviously recognized Ling Mengxue. He knew that this was the older brother who had played with him for a long time not long ago.

"Is this your home?" Although Ling Mengxue felt that it was basically certain that this was Xiao Jiang's home, she still wanted to ask a few more questions just to be on the safe side.

"Yes, my parents and I have always lived here, but I don't know where they are now. Alas, I dare not go far, otherwise they won't be able to find me and will be worried when they come back." When talking about his parents, Xiao Jiang's face was somewhat sad. I don't know how long this poor child has been waiting for his parents to come back to find him.

Ling Mengxue suddenly remembered that Xiao Jiang had some intellectual problems, so how did he usually live? So she continued to ask: "So how do you usually live? Can you handle it?"

"An old uncle often comes to bring me food. He asked me to call him Uncle Tian and said he is a distant relative of my family and has a very close relationship with my parents. He said that my parents are still out doing things and can't come back for the time being. I can go to him no matter what I need."

Ling Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief. That was great. Someone was still taking care of Xiao Jiang. This man called Uncle Tian must be the comrade-in-arms of Xiao Jiang's father.

"But when I asked him where his parents were, he didn't tell me. What a weird old man." Xiao Jiang scratched his head. He obviously couldn't understand why Uncle Tian, ​​who was so good to him, refused to tell him where his parents were.

"By the way, some uncles from the Qianyan Army would come to see me often. They would bring me lots of delicious food! When I couldn't eat anymore, they would put the food in the house. However, they wouldn't tell me where my parents were. It was really strange..."

"Then do you know what the two stones over there are?" Ling Mengxue hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Oh, you are talking about the two stones. They were sent by several uncles from the Qianyan Army. They said that it was their parents who asked them to put the two stones here." Xiao Jiang looked in the direction Ling Mengxue pointed and answered.

"But I haven't learned many words yet. The words written on it are too complicated. I can't understand many of them. But since my parents asked them to send it up, it must be something very important to them."

Alas, it is just as I guessed. Xiao Jiang's parents are really no longer alive, leaving behind only this poor idiot. Fortunately, there are still his old friends from Qianyan Army taking care of him. When you are free, come and accompany this poor child every day.

It seems that becoming stupid is not necessarily a bad thing sometimes. At least Xiao Jiang can still be expected to continue living happily.

Now that she had confirmed this heartbreaking news, Ling Mengxue decided to find Xiao Jiang's father's spirit no matter what. No matter how long it took, she wanted to reunite the family!

What on earth was going on? Just looking at the scenery and playing hide-and-seek, he was actually hurt! Ling Mengxue also has parents in real life, and she probably longs for their love even more than Xiao Jiang. But her parents have been very busy since she was a child. Apart from being able to satisfy her material enjoyment, they rarely have time to accompany her. Over time, she gradually changed from wanting her parents' love to no longer expecting it.

Games and novels were everything to her before she entered the mental hospital. She had no interest in luxury goods, and she did a lot of things to buy happiness with money, but in the end, she was left with nothing but emptiness.

In the remaining hours, Ling Mengxue ran almost every inch of Tianheng Mountain. Although she encountered a few fairies, unfortunately, none of them floated towards Xiao Jiang's home.

Find it today no matter what!

Finally, on a high mountain opposite Xiao Jiang's house, Ling Mengxue was surprised to see the fairy in front of her running towards Xiao Jiang's house regardless of everything.

Go home and reunite with your wife and children!

One is Xiao Jiang's mother who is waiting for her husband to come home, and the other is a Qianyan soldier who goes to fight knowing that he will face danger. In the end, Ling Mengxue sends the soldier back home. The two fairies stand at home, watching over each other, and will never be separated again.

It seems that mothers really care about the safety of their children. Ling Mengxue noticed a detail. The fairy spirit of the father looked towards Xiao Jiang's mother, while the fairy spirit of Xiao Jiang's mother looked in the direction of Xiao Jiang.

It would be great if my parents cared about me like this...

Let the family reunite and send back two souls longing to return home. Ling Mengxue finally left with satisfaction.
