On a dark night, in the woods outside the city, a man sat by a campfire, staring blankly at one place.
"Wei Zhan, go back." Hu Zi came over and advised: "Ying Bao has already left."
Wei Zhan shook his head: "I don't believe it."
Hu Zi sighed and sat down next to him: "It's been three days. If you don't leave, Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu won't leave either."
Wei Zhan glanced at the two brothers lying not far away and said nothing.
Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu's injuries have not healed yet, but they insist on staying here and waiting for their sister to come back.
It is said that after a person dies, they will return to see their family on the seventh day after death to say their final goodbyes. They want to see Ajie again and ask her what happened.
There was a moment of silence, with only the flickering light of the campfire.
Suddenly, something fell from some invisible place with a snap, which startled everyone.
Wei Zhan stood up suddenly, looked in that direction for a few breaths, and then ran towards that place.
He saw it clearly just now, and it looked like a person fell down.
When I ran closer, I saw that it was indeed a person, a woman in a green dress.
"Yingbao!" Wei Zhan felt a lump in his throat and rushed over, carefully picking up the woman on the ground.
It really is Sakurabao.
Wei Zhan used trembling hands to push away the hair that was scattered on her face. When he saw her clearly, he held her tightly in his arms.
The feeling of losing and regaining made him cry bitterly.
Hu Zi, Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu also ran over and pulled Wei Zhan's sleeve to see if she was his sister.
Wei Zhan held her tightly, buried his face in her hair, and sobbed.
Yingbao finally came to her senses and gently pushed his chest: "I can hardly breathe."
Wei Zhan, Hu Zi and others were stunned.
Jiang Wu also burst into tears: "Sister, you are not dead."
Ying Bao raised her head from Wei Zhan's arms with great effort: "No, your sister was originally going to be reincarnated, but you didn't burn paper for me, and I had no money to give gifts to the King of Hell, so I was kicked back."
"Ah?" Is this possible
Jiang Wu was stunned, but at the same time overjoyed: "Luckily I didn't get a fever."
Huzi blinked: "No, the house must have burned down, maybe you haven't received it yet..."
Jiang Jie covered Hu Zi's mouth with his hand and shouted, "He's not burned! He's definitely not burned!"
Yingbao smiled and said, "Now that I'm back, the money must have been embezzled by the little devils."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Wu nodded continuously.
Wei Zhan picked up Yingbao and said, "Let's go! Let's go home!"
The wild is filled with yin energy, so it’s better to take Yingbao back quickly.
There was a carriage parked not far away, which was originally used by Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu. A servant was sleeping soundly in it.
"Get up quickly and drive home!" Hu Zi patted him. The servant looked up blankly and suddenly saw Master Wei holding a woman in his arms. His eyes widened immediately.
Wei Zhan put Yingbao into the carriage and asked the servant to drive quickly.
"What about us!" Jiang Wu shouted dissatisfiedly and quickly climbed onto the carriage.
Then Jiang Jie climbed onto the carriage with the help of Hu Zi.
Four people squeezed into a carriage and barely fit.
Wei Zhan still held Yingbao tightly in his arms, without saying a word.
Hu Zi lit two torches, holding one for himself and giving the other to the servant.
The carriage moved slowly and arrived near the city gate in less than half an hour.
Seeing the city gates were closed, Hu Zi turned around and said, "Why don't we find an inn to stay in first? If we shout to open the city gates now, we might alarm His Majesty."
Jiang Wu: "Okay, there is an inn not far from here, let's go there."
... ...
Lying down in the inn, Xuanwu and Yingbao have already made three agreements to prevent the people from the upper realm from discovering the clues.
First, she could no longer use the power of the Divine Eye.
Second, no killing should be carried out unless it is absolutely necessary.
The world has its own natural laws of survival. She cannot arbitrarily control life and death and disrupt the order.
Third, they agreed to be together for fifty years, and after fifty years, no matter what happened, she had to leave.
Yingbao agreed to all of them.
To be on the safe side, Xuanwu took his master's divine sickle and long sword, and said stingily: "From now on, you can only have one bowl of Tongkong Spring per month, not a cent more. I will also keep your gourd of Wudingzhi. Don't worry, I will give you one petal per month."
The next day, Wei Zhan brought Yingbao back to the Jiang family.
The carriage drove directly in through the side door and stopped at the entrance of the inner courtyard.
When he, Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu appeared in front of everyone protecting Yingbao, everyone was stunned.
Chunniang and Jiang Sanlang held their daughter's hands and looked at her carefully. They were relieved when they saw that she had no injuries.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Chunniang pulled her daughter into the house, waved away the maids and servants, and asked in a low voice.
Yingbao repeated the lie she had made up: "The King of Hell said that my life span has not yet ended and refused to take me back, so he let me come back."
This kind of talk is very common. Some people, after being in a coma for a period of time and then waking up, will tell others that the King of Hell is unwilling to take them away and that they still have many years of life left to live.
Chunniang hugged her daughter and wiped her tears for a while, thankfully saying, "Fortunately, our family didn't do anything. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also said that it would help us. Your father didn't agree, saying that you would definitely come back, and sure enough..."
At this time, Old Man Jiang, Mrs. Jiang Liu and Jiang Quan also came over. They didn't ask much, but just asked Yingbao to take good care of herself because she looked very weak.
Yingbao looked at her family and said, "I want to go back to Qinchuan County."
She knew that her grandparents and parents didn't like living in the capital for a long time, so it would be better to take them back.
As for the young people like my second cousin, they should stay here and work hard for their future.
"It's better to go back." Chunniang had wanted to go back for a long time, but her son and daughter were both here, so she stayed here reluctantly.
Jiang Liu said, "You can go back, but you have to take care of Xiaojie's marriage first."
Xiaojie is sixteen now. Although it is a nominal age, there are many people who get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
Moreover, with the appearance of Yingbaojing, we have to use the marriage of our brother to cheer us up.
Chunniang nodded: "Then let's find a wife for Xiaojie first, but what about Yingbao's marriage?"
"Ask the Wei family what they think and choose a new date." Jiang Liushi said, "I see that the Wei family kid values Yingbao very much, I'm sure his family will agree."
Chunniang nodded.
On that day, Jiang Jie wrote a letter and handed it to the emperor, saying that his sister had an accident and fell into a dark cave, but was later found.
Although this matter is a bit absurd, he must not make it absurd.
As for the other people present, most of them were family members. Of course there were outsiders as well, but they were isolated outside the human wall, and few of them actually saw how Yingbao disappeared.
The emperor quickly reviewed the memorial and sent a royal physician to see Yingbao.
The imperial physician was Wen Hengyin’s grandfather, Wen Jingyan, who was over seventy years old.
With him was his little grandson Wen Hengyin.
Doctor Wen felt Yingbao's pulse and prescribed a prescription to replenish her qi and blood. "You are a little qi and blood deficient. Eat some pork liver and spinach soup every day."
Yingbao nodded: "Thank you, Grandpa Wen." Although she had never visited the Wen Mansion, she would ask someone to send a gift to the old doctor every New Year.
After all, it was thanks to Grandpa Wen that I was able to learn medicine.
Wen Jingyan glanced at her and said cryptically, "You need to stay in bed for a few more days. The emperor is going to confer the title of crown prince soon. It's not appropriate for you to be present at that occasion."
Yingbao was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Thank you, Grandpa Wen, for reminding me. I really need to lie down more."
