Chapter 301 The story continues
"Luo Xiaoran, don't worry, Xiao Ji'er won't stay away from us just because we are time travelers! He certainly won't kill us!"
Huineng, who had known Chen Ji for ten years, could be sure of this.
Then, his eyes became complicated again and he looked at Chen Ji with an unclear expression.
What's more, Xiao Ji'er likes you, but you are just stupid and don't know it.
“I also believe in His Royal Highness Prince Yan, but what happened to us is indeed too magical.
How can a person wake up in another corpse after dying?
Moreover, the person who travels through and the person who is traveled through are in different time and space!
I myself find it incredible, let alone His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."
At this point, Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but shook her head, smiled bitterly, and then said in a firm tone:
“But there is one thing, Your Highness Prince Yan, please rest assured, we don’t know how we traveled through time, so we will not harm anyone, and we are certainly not monsters.
If we really have the ability to travel through time, that is, to possess a dead body and revive, would we still be afraid of being killed as a monster?
Because if we are killed, wouldn't it be better for us to travel through time and space to the next person?"
After listening to Luo Xiaoran's well-reasoned explanation, Chen Ji said nothing, and there was no need to say more.
Before tonight, he had never believed in the idea of "reincarnation".
After tonight, he believed it, because he believed that Luo Xiaoran would not lie to him, and he would not hurt Luo Xiaoran, nor would he let others hurt Luo Xiaoran!
Luo Xiaoran saw Chen Ji's trusting eyes in the darkness, and couldn't help but smile sincerely, with a touch of emotion in her heart.
In a strange ancient time, there was an ancient man who saved your life. After knowing that you were a soul from another world, he was willing to accept you and did not hate or reject you. Such friendship is really... precious!
In the darkness, Chen Ji looked at Luo Xiaoran's raised pink lips, his Adam's apple twitched uncomfortably, and then he abruptly looked away, which made Luo Xiaoran a little puzzled. Just as she was about to ask something else, Huineng's voice interrupted her:
"Are you guys done talking? If you're done, I'm going to continue telling my story!"
Neither Luo Xiaoran nor Chen Ji said anything.
Silence meant consent, and Huineng nodded in satisfaction.
“I just mentioned that Li Yifan, Ah Shui and I finally arrived at a village, and we used Ah Shui’s jewelry to exchange for food and accommodation in the village.
In the ten days before we found the village, Li Yifan and I were almost certain that A Shui had not traveled through time.
Because her every move is like that of an ancient person, completely different from us two modern people.
Memories can disappear, but physical habits will not change. Ah Shui is still the same person, the one in this time and space!
There is a bulge behind A Shui's head, which may be the reason for her amnesia. Li Yifan and I have traveled through time and space and do not have the memories of the original owners. Where should three people with amnesia go?
Ah Shui was curious about everything in the village. It seemed as if she had never seen crops before, vegetables growing in the fields, or children running around in the village.
Seeing that A Shui liked this place, Li Yifan and I decided to stay in this village for a few more days and make plans after we have rested ourselves.
But how could the men in the village have seen a beauty like Ah Shui? So, some of the dirty and bad guys secretly coveted Ah Shui.
After losing his memory, A Shui was very naive, but Li Yifan and I were very sensitive to this, so we immediately took A Shui and quietly left the village under the cover of night and went to a nearby county town.
After entering the city, we wanted to exchange Ah Shui's jewelry for some silver and money as we did in the village, but the owner of the pawnshop told us that it was impossible.
Because Ah Shui's jewelry had the mark of the Imperial Household Department, and the pawnshop owner would never dare to accept royal items.
The village we found at the beginning was full of illiterate villagers. When we used A Shui's jewelry to exchange for food and lodging, they couldn't tell where the jewelry came from.
But the pawnshop owner in the county town had some knowledge and recognized him.
Jewelry produced by the Imperial Household Department, luxurious fabrics, beautiful face... At this point, we finally understand Ah Shui's identity.
She is a woman from the palace!"
After hearing Huineng's words, a thought flashed through Chen Ji's mind like lightning, and his handsome face with clear lines showed deep astonishment.
It turns out that the third person who came back to life was Jiang Bin!
You can’t be wrong! Everything is connected!
Li Heng once told him that when his mother fell off a cliff in the Royal Forest Garden, Jiang Bin also fell off the cliff. The two survived the ordeal and wandered outside for more than two months before they were found and brought back to the palace by people sent by Emperor Taizong.
At that time, Li Heng accidentally discovered that Jiang Bin and Huineng had a close relationship...
Therefore, A Shui in Huineng’s story is the mother, and Li Yifan is Jiang Bin who fell off the cliff with the mother!
My mother and Jiang Bin fell off a cliff and into the water. They were washed downstream and were met by Huineng. The three of them formed a friendship.
Huineng's next words also verified Chen Ji's guess and restored the whole story.
"After guessing Ah Shui's identity, Li Yifan and I felt a little disappointed. We knew Ah Shui must be someone extraordinary, but we didn't expect that she was actually someone in the palace!
Li Yifan and I had a disagreement about whether to send Ah Shui back or continue to take care of her after she lost her memory.
Li Yifan wanted to continue to take Ah Shui with him and did not want her to return to the palace. His reason was that he felt that the women in the palace were either queens, imperial consorts, queen mothers, or princesses. Not only did they have many rules and no freedom, but they could also be schemed against and harmed by others if they were not careful.
Moreover, Ah Shui has lost her memory now. She can't remember who she was close to and who she had grudges against in the palace. She is like a little lamb entering a dark and dangerous forest. It is unknown whether the ending that awaits her is good or bad. But if she follows us, we will take good care of her.
Take good care of it? Looking at Li Yifan talking eloquently, I sneered in my heart.
All the money we have now was earned by exchanging Ah Shui’s jewelry. If I hadn’t persuaded the pawnshop owner to use a “secret transaction” and he happened to be short of a few heirlooms, we wouldn’t even know where our next meal would be!
After all, he only lives in the world of novels, can't even find a job, and has never been beaten by society. Li Yifan's stupidity made me refresh my perception of him again.
I immediately suggested sending Ah Shui back. She has ties in this world. Her relatives, lovers, friends, even enemies, are also a part of Ah Shui in this world. All of these make up Ah Shui, and that is the real Ah Shui!
We can't make a decision for Ah Shui on our own and let her cut off her past and wander around with two souls from other worlds!
We are different from A Shui. We are time travelers. We have no sense of belonging to this world. We are rootless duckweed in this world and aliens in the vast sea of people.
The original owner of this body of ours is dead, and the matter is over. We should not interfere with the original owner's affairs. We should live under our own name instead of the original owner's name!"
