Chapter 88: Return of the Soul

  "Here, out..." When Wan Hongguang and Song Hushan looked inside through the gap in the iron fence, they suddenly saw a black shadow walking towards them from afar, and by the outline, it should be Xiao Ye.

  Song Hualing and Zhou Ruoying, who were sitting in the car, heard the cries of Wan Hongguang and others, all got out of the car, looking at the iron fence with a hopeful face.

  Xiao Yu walked to the iron gate and saw a blurry figure outside, letting out a sigh of relief. As Xiao Yu stepped out of the iron gate, his footsteps felt light and airy, and he almost fell over as his body swayed slightly.

  "Xiao Lao Di, how are you? Are you alright?" Song Hu Shan and Wan Hong Guang who were waiting at the gate saw Xiao Ye's pale face and his foot tripping over almost falling down, they quickly went forward to support him and asked anxiously.

  Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, help me get on the car!"

  Song Hua Ling and Zhou Ruo Ying saw Xiao Yu come out and quickly surrounded him, but seeing Xiao Yu's appearance, they opened their mouths without saying a word, and when they saw Xiao Yu get on the car, they also got on.

  The driver, Zhi Guo, and the three female police officers looked at Xiao Yu with a gaze that was no longer one of looking at a charlatan, but rather one of admiration. After all, they were all from rural areas and had heard some ghost stories from the elderly villagers, so they had a certain degree of acceptance. Moreover, they had witnessed today's events with their own eyes, and it was hard for them not to believe. However, they would not tell others about it, as they estimated that even if they did, no one would believe them, and would instead say that they were spreading feudal superstition, which was not allowed in the army.

  "Xiao Yu, how is it? Found her?" On the car, Song Hua Ling could no longer hold back, with a hopeful and anxious face looking at Xiao Yu, afraid that if she couldn't find her here, she wouldn't know where else to look, would she just watch her daughter be foolish for the rest of her life?

  When Song Hualing asked the question, Wan Hongguang and Song Huishan also looked at Xiao Yu, even Wang Zhiguo in the driver's seat, although he appeared calm on the surface, but also perked up his ears waiting for Xiao Yu's answer.

  Actually, Wang Zhiguo's heart was not as calm as the surface. Since he became a driver for Wan Hongguang these years, Wan Jia-yi had never treated him like a driver, but rather like an elder brother from a neighboring family with great respect. When Wang Zhiguo saw Wan Jia-yi, he also thought of his own younger sister back in their rural hometown.

  Xiao Yu saw that they were all looking at him with eager faces, so he nodded and smiled faintly, saying: "I've already found it!"

  The people in the car, including Wan Hongguang, were taken aback when Xiao Yu said that he had found it, and then burst into waves of cheers. Xiao Yu looked at the cheering crowd and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

  When Wan Hong Guang and others calmed down and looked at Xiao Yu, they were grateful. Seeing Xiao Yu's weak appearance and pale complexion, they knew that this trip was not so smooth without thinking.

  In the car behind, the three female police officers heard the cheers coming from the front car and exchanged a glance, revealing a look of surprise. At this moment, Xiao Yu had already been linked to mystery in their hearts.

  "Xiao Lao Di...... thank you!" Wan Hong Guang at this time did not know what to say, he could only deeply lower his head, and with a bow said excitedly.

  "Yes, thank you so much, Xiao Yu!" At this moment, Zhou Ruo Ying's gaze towards Xiao Yu had a hint of reverence in her affection, after all mysterious things always make people feel reverent.

  "Let's hurry back! So she can wake up early!" Xiao Yu saw a hint of estrangement in the gazes of Zhou Ruo Ying and others towards himself, but this estrangement was not about their relationship, rather it was a distance of the heart. Xiao Yu helplessly smiled wryly, looking at the聚阴伞 (a type of umbrella) in his hand.

  In fact, Xiao Yu didn't notice that when Song Hu Shan looked at him, there was not only no distance or estrangement, but also a flash of surprise in his eyes.

  Wan Hongguang and others saw Xiao Yu looking at the position of his left hand, only to find that Xiao Yu's hand had somehow acquired an oil-paper umbrella. They clearly remembered that when Xiao Yu went in, he didn't bring anything with him, but when he came back, he had an ancient-style oil-paper umbrella? However, thinking about Xiao Yu's mysteriousness, it was not surprising after all.

  The car quickly started and headed to the Wan Hongguang's home. When they arrived, they entered Wan Jia-yi's bedroom. Xiao Yu said to Song Hu-shan and others behind him: "You all go out first!"

  Song Hua Ling and Zhou Ruo Ying took a reluctant glance at Wan Jia Yi lying on the bed. After everyone in the house had left, Xiao Ye opened the umbrella of Yin, and Wan Jia Yi's soul and earth spirit floated out from it. Wan Jia Yi looked at herself lying on the bed with a silly expression, feeling very strange. Her own soul was standing here watching her physical body, making Wan Jia Yi feel a pang of discomfort in her heart.

  Wanjia Yi's soul flew around the house, looking at her familiar surroundings, feeling the suction force transmitted from her physical body, Wanjia Yi was about to fly towards her physical body.

  Suddenly, Wan Jia Yi's life force suppressed the urge of her soul to fly back into her body, and she turned her head to look at Tu Gui, saying: "Brother Tu, if I'm still able to see you after I return to my body?"

  Tū guǐ didn't want to deceive Wàn Jiāyí, shook his head and said slowly: "After returning to the soul, it's a separation of yin and yang! We won't be able to see each other again!"

  "Ah...... then I won't be able to rest in peace, I'll stay with you instead!" Wan Jia-yi exclaimed after hearing this, and from then on, she never saw the earth spirit again.

  Wanjia Yi has been with Tugui for more than half a year, and Tugui has taken care of her in every way. The thought of not seeing Tugui again suddenly filled her heart with reluctance.

  "Silly girl, your family is waiting for you! Besides, since your physical body isn't dead, how can you rest in peace if you don't return to it?" The earth spirit heard Wan Jia Yi say she would accompany him and felt comforted in his heart, but he knew he couldn't be so selfish. With a resolute face, he said.

  For more than half a year, Tū Guǐ has been watching this strange and clever little girl every day, and it has become a habit for him. He even thought that he would accompany her until the day they both die.

  But he didn't think that Wan Jia-yi's physical body was still there, and now that he had heard Wan Jia-yi's words, he also wanted to keep Wan Jia-yi with him. However, he knew he couldn't be so selfish, Wan Jia-yi should have her own life.

  Wanjia Yi reluctantly looked at the earth spirit, slowly flew towards her physical body, and Wanjia Yi's soul also became illusory, slowly merging with her physical body.

  Xiao Yu saw that Wan Jia-yi's soul and body had merged, so he opened the door to let in Wan Hong-guang and others who were waiting outside.

  Song Hualing and Wan Hongguang, as well as Song Huishan, entered the house to see Wan Jiaoyi lying on the bed slowly opening her eyes. Although there was still a hint of confusion in her eyes, the sparkle in her eyes told them that Wan Jiaoyi had regained consciousness.

  "Jiayi, you're awake, you scared Mom to death!" Song Hualing saw that Wan Jiayi had woken up and quickly walked a few steps to reach Wan Jiayi's bedside, hugging her and bursting into tears.

  Wanjia Yi lay on the bed, opened her eyes, looked around blankly, and then saw her mother holding herself and crying. She was taken aback and asked: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? What happened? How did I end up at home? Didn't I go out to play with my classmates?"

  Haha...... Alright...... Wan Hongguang burst out laughing and said: "Jiayi! You've finally woken up!" Although Wan Hongguang was laughing, tears still rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.

  "It's okay, mom is glad to see you wake up!" Song Hualing was stunned when she heard her daughter's words, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her daughter had forgotten about her injury? After speaking, she looked at Xiao Yu.

  Xiao Yu walked to Wan Jia Yi's side and took her pulse, thinking for a moment before saying: "Jia Yi's body is fine, but it's possible that the cerebral cortex was injured, and during the repair process, the memories of the time she was injured were sealed or lost!"

  Xiao Ye had just been thinking that if Wan Jia-yi's soul and body were to merge, would the memories of her time as a ghost still exist? Unexpectedly, the heavens were indeed wonderful, directly sealing away the memories of her time as a ghost.

  "Then she won't have any other aftereffects and influences, right?!" Wan Hongguang heard Xiao Ye say that Wan Jiaoyi had only lost a segment of her memory, and he secretly let out a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, he feared there might be some other aftereffect.

  Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "No!"

  Xiao Yu saw that Wan Jia-yi was no longer in danger, a wave of fatigue surged up to his heart. Xiao Yu bid farewell to Wan Hong-guang and the others, then went to rest in the guest room arranged by Wan Hong-guang.

  The next morning, Xiao Yu woke up from his meditation. After a night of meditation, Xiao Yu's spirit had recovered somewhat, and the speed at which he cultivated the Righteous Energy Technique was actually one-third faster than usual. Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. However, this wasn't a bad thing, so Xiao Yu didn't investigate further.

  Xiao Yu moved a bit, as his slightly stiff body from sitting for too long entered the living room. In the living room, Wan Hongguang and Song Hushan's families were chatting with Wan Jiayi.

  The two families saw Xiao Yu walk out, and they all stood up, looking at Xiao Yu with gratitude. Wan Jia-yi, who was declared by major hospitals and rehabilitation centers to never wake up again, was cured by Xiao Yu in less than twenty days, which was unbelievable just thinking about it.

  Wan Jia-yi looked at Xiao Ye with a curious expression, yesterday night she heard from her mother how she was injured and became a vegetable, then was declared to never wake up again. It was Xiao Ye who had used all his thoughts to save her. At first, Wan Jia-yi thought Xiao Ye was an old man, but it turned out he was the young man she saw briefly last night, not much older than herself.

  Of course, Song Hualing didn't say that he went to invite the soul for Wan Jiayi, but instead said that Xiao Yu was a highly skilled Chinese medicine doctor.

  "Xiao Lao Di, quickly sit down and rest for a while. We'll go eat soon!" Wan Hong Guang said as he gave up his seat when he saw Xiao Ye walking over.

  Xiao Yu sat down on the sofa and saw that Wan Jia-yi's face was rosy, her breathing stable, and she had obviously recovered. He then bid farewell to Wan Hong-guang, as Xiao Yu had not returned home for more than half a month and naturally hoped to return as soon as possible.

  As soon as he mentioned going home, Xiao Yu couldn't sit still for a moment, and he wished he could return home immediately. He didn't even have time to eat dinner and planned to just grab something on the way.

  Wan Hongguang and Song Hushan saw that Xiao Yu was really eager to go home, so they let the driver Wang Zhiguo drive Xiao Yu back. On the way, Xiao Yu and Wang Zhiguo had a little breakfast and continued on their journey. After more than two hours of rushing, Xiao Yu finally returned to his hometown.
