Of course, Jian Yunsang recognized it. Holding the jade pendant, her eyes reddened, “This was the birthday gift your aunt gave you back then. You liked it very much and put it on right away. Zhaozhao, Mom didn’t recognize you wrongly. You are my precious baby. Come home with me, okay?”
The bond between mother and daughter was sometimes very miraculous. Even though they had been separated for two years, and even though she was no longer the chubby little girl she used to be, Jian Yunsang still dared to be certain that this was the daughter she had been thinking about and worrying about day and night.
Zhaozhao pressed her lips together, her face turning a little red. She said she was her precious baby. So it turned out that she could also be a precious baby.
A-Shan said he would send her home to find her biological father and mother. It turned out to be true. As soon as she came here, she met her Mother, and her Mother even said she would take her home.
The little person secretly sized up the person in front of her again. After a moment, she reached out a finger and gently tugged at her sleeve. She hesitated a little, moved the corners of her lips, and then seemed to muster up immense courage before gently nodding, “Okay.”
She wanted to go home with her. That must be a very warm home.
Jian Yunsang revealed a big smile. Only at this moment did she realize that her heart had actually been hanging this entire time.
Zhaozhao also smiled along with her. Then, as if she thought of something, she went to take off the clothes on her body again.
This time, Jian Yunsang did not refuse. Her down jacket was very large and could completely wrap Zhaozhao inside it.
She picked Zhaozhao up, “Okay, let’s go home.”
Zhaozhao was afraid she would get tired and said softly, “I can walk by myself.”
“But Mom hasn’t held you for two years already. Zhaozhao, will you give Mom this chance, okay?”
Zhaozhao was a little bashful, “…Okay.”
Jian Yunsang lifted her up a little higher. Zhaozhao instinctively wrapped her arms around her neck. Once she hugged her like this, she could no longer bear to let go.
Mom smelled so nice, and was so soft, so comfortable. She could not help but gently lean her head against Jian Yunsang’s shoulder. The next moment, she felt a pair of gentle hands land on her head and lightly stroke it.
Zhaozhao could not help but smile. She was so happy ya.
If Lin Lan Jiejie knew that she had found her Mother, and was even her Mother’s precious baby, she would definitely be happy for her.
Lin Lan was of course happy. At this moment, Shangliu Village was extremely quiet.
The villagers looked at the scene in the Sky Screen and swallowed hard. Zhaozhao really had returned to the immortal realm.
But this immortal realm, why did it seem to be no different from their side?
“Does the immortal realm also have mountains like these? Look at those grasses. Although they’re somewhat different from ours, there isn’t much difference ah.”
“Why does the immortal realm also use walking?”
“What’s so strange about that? Can’t they like walking? Besides, Zhaozhao’s Mother even said that she wanted to carry Zhaozhao.”
“No matter what, Zhaozhao really isn’t from our side. Look at the clothes that woman is wearing. They’re completely different from ours.”
“If only Scholar Guo were here. He is well-read and knowledgeable, maybe he would know something.”
Scholar Guo really did not know. He was also completely confused as he looked at the Sky Screen. At this moment, he was still at the county seat. He had originally gone to the government office to report this matter to the County Magistrate, but who would have thought he would still arrive a step too late? The County Magistrate was not there.
It was said that after the Sky Screen appeared, some people over at Yangshu Town took the opportunity to cause trouble and spread rumors about some heavenly punishment. After the County Magistrate received the news, he immediately hurried over to deal with it.
Not knowing when he would return, Scholar Guo could only wait at the county seat.
As he waited, he saw Zhaozhao appear in the Sky Screen. He sat at a tea stall drinking tea. He had hurried along the road earlier, so he was extremely thirsty now. His ears were also filled with the discussions of the common people. However, compared with the villagers of Shangliu Village, there was much more worry among them.
“You guys tell me, what exactly is that hanging in the sky? I heard this is heavenly punishment, specifically for punishing people who do bad things.”
“You’re looking for death ah, and you still dare to say something about heavenly punishment.”
Thinking of the government office’s prohibition, the person in front did not dare to say anything more, but the scattered discussions did not stop.
To most people, the Sky Screen was something they had never seen before. It hung in midair, and there was even a person appearing inside it. That person must certainly be someone from the heavens.
There were also people who felt that the scene in the Sky Screen was more or less the same as theirs. It might be the scenery of some place that had accidentally appeared before them.
Everyone had different opinions about this. Some felt that they were not necessarily people from the immortal realm. Others felt that even if it was not the immortal realm, this was still a divine miracle.
In any case, the Hu family was the one that least wanted the explanation that it was the immortal realm.
The family of three, Hu Laifu and his family, also had their window open as they looked at the Sky Screen outside. Madam Zheng desperately searched for evidence to prove this point, “Look, that woman also feels cold. Would immortals be afraid of the cold? And she can’t even walk steadily. She walks so carefully and has to keep watching the road beneath her feet. Could it be that immortals are even afraid of falling?”
Hu Laifu nodded repeatedly, “I think their side is also no different from ours. It’s just that the clothes they wear are different. What curse, what evil begets evil. That damn girl… Zhaozhao must definitely be trying to scare us.”
“Exactly, exactly. Where are there any immortal methods?”
As soon as his voice fell, there was finally a change in the Sky Screen.
Jian Yunsang carried Zhaozhao out from the foot of the mountain and walked toward the car parked by the roadside.
The road suddenly became much flatter, and the scenery before their eyes also took on a completely new appearance. Zhaozhao, who had originally been a little drowsy, could not help but widen her eyes.
When the two of them reached the car, Zhaozhao turned her head even more.
Jian Yunsang opened the rear car door and put her inside.
There was also a child safety seat on the back seat. Unless she was cleaning it, she had never taken this thing down. Even though Zhaozhao had been missing for two years, she firmly believed that she would definitely find her. She had never put away any of Zhaozhao’s things. She had even continued buying more and more, as if Zhaozhao had never left.
“Th-This, what is this?” Zhaozhao looked somewhat nervously at Jian Yunsang as she fastened the seat belt around her.
Jian Yunsang froze for a moment. Had the place where Zhaozhao had lived these past two years not even had cars?
She stroked her head and patiently explained, “This is a car. Our home is thirty kilometers from here. We’ll get home very quickly by car. You just sit here. I’ll go to the front and drive.”
Zhaozhao was confused and did not really understand. She did not know how far thirty kilometers was, but she still obediently nodded.
Jian Yunsang pulled over the blanket beside her and covered Zhaozhao with it. Then, she smiled and closed the car door, walked around to the driver’s seat in front, and after sitting down properly, turned her head to look at Zhaozhao, “Then, we’re setting off?”
“Okay.” The seat beneath her was soft, and the backrest was also soft. It was just a little strange to sit in, but it was still very comfortable. And there was also this blanket on her body. It was unbelievably soft.
The car soon set off. Zhaozhao turned her head to look outside the car window. Then, as the shadows of the trees retreated… she slowly opened her mouth wide.
So, so fast!! With a ‘whoosh’, it seemed to have passed by in an instant.
The countless common people of the Great Qi Dynasty also drew in a sharp breath in shock.
“Heavens, this is an immortal artifact. This must be an immortal artifact. I told you the Sky Screen was a divine miracle, an immortal’s method.”
Even the one sitting on the Dragon Throne abruptly stood up at the very moment the car drove away.
“She just said, this is… a car?”
