Chapter 667 - 272 Granny Li Awakens_3

The exact same thing is happening again, Li Lanhua is hospitalized once more.

She still hasn’t found her child.

Old Ma Guocai wiped his tears, saying, "Why, why can’t she hear me? Why is she always stuck here?"

Dong Yan frowned, unable to understand.

She tried several times to use her Spiritual Link Superpower to communicate with Li Lanhua.

But Li Lanhua gave no response.

Dong Yan realized it wasn’t her superpower that malfunctioned; the other party refused to engage in a spiritual link with her.

Dong Yan said, "Uncle Ma, Granny Li’s spiritual body is very weak. It’s not that she can’t hear, she actually senses it, but she doesn’t want to wake up. It’s like she keeps reliving this incident and doesn’t want to communicate with us."

"How could this be?" Ma Guocai, with reddened eyes, wiped his tears.

Dong Yan still didn’t understand, so she asked, "Uncle Ma, did you ever find that child?"

Ma Guocai sorrowfully replied, "No, the trafficker took Da Bao away. We searched for ten years, but we couldn’t find him."

"And afterwards..."

Ma Guocai said, "Later, your Granny gave birth to Xiaoya and Xiaoyuan. She gradually emerged from her sorrow."

"She was always enthusiastic about helping others, doing charity work, and even became a volunteer. Later, the community recognized her efforts and assigned her work within the community, and she gradually started working there."

"I never thought she still held onto this matter in her heart."

Dong Yan was also somewhat surprised. The usually warm and hospitable Granny Li, who appeared so passionate and kind, had such a sorrowful past.

At this moment, the scene changed again, and Granny Li returned to the cooperative store.

Dong Yan wanted to see what their kidnapped eldest son looked like, but upon looking, she realized that the child’s features were still blurry, indistinct.

Dong Yan couldn’t help but say, "Uncle Ma, why can’t you see your child’s face clearly?"

Ma Guocai was suddenly stunned, staring blankly at the child, then at Li Lanhua.

His lips began to tremble, his hands shook, and his mental state became unstable.

Dong Yan was startled and quickly comforted him, "Uncle Ma, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Ma Guocai murmured, "No, it can’t be, I... how could I forget Da Bao..."

"It’s impossible, how could we forget what Da Bao looks like..."

Dong Yan was taken aback and realized that it wasn’t that the child’s face was unclear, but that Granny Li’s memory was fading.

It wasn’t just Granny Li; Uncle Ma was the same.

Judging by their ages, when the child was lost, Granny Li and Uncle Ma were barely in their twenties.

Now, both of them were in their fifties and sixties. After thirty years, it was normal for their memories to become blurry.

In those days, they probably didn’t even have photos to keep.

Dong Yan thought of this and suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute, Uncle Ma, you said Granny Li doesn’t want to leave, repeatedly recalling this past. Could it be that she wants to see Da Bao’s face clearly?"

Ma Guocai was taken aback, his whole body trembling even more, his face streaked with tears, "I... I don’t remember what Da Bao looks like anymore, I... we failed Da Bao..."

Dong Yan couldn’t help saying, "Uncle Ma, now isn’t the time to be sad. You need to find a way to wake Granny Li up."

"Think hard, how did you get Granny Li to wake up from that hospital bed back then?"

"If Granny Li doesn’t wake up, she will eventually fail at awakening and will end up becoming a mutant monster."

"You need to pull yourself together, Uncle Ma!"

Dong Yan’s persuasion helped stabilize Ma Guocai’s trembling spiritual body.

He took a deep breath, saying, "Yes, yes, Old Li, you can’t have anything happen to you. Now it’s just the two of us, we can’t have anything happen to either of us."

Dong Yan quickly said, "Uncle Ma, that’s the spirit. Quickly think, how did you help Granny Li regain her spirits back then?"

He rapidly recalled the events of those years, saying, "I remember... after that incident, she searched everywhere for the child, she had no Essence, Qi, and Spirit when she came home."

"We hadn’t found the child for years, and she knew there would probably be no follow-up, so she stayed cooped up in the house all the time."

"I felt heartbroken seeing that, so I thought I’d take her out more often. Somehow, she got to know the comrades in the women’s federation."

"In the women’s federation, there was an old lady who had fought against the Japanese invaders during the war, and she talked to her a lot, often taking her to participate in the federation’s activities."

"Gradually, she walked out of the shadow of that incident."

"She also gradually became a warm-hearted figure at the community office."

Dong Yan couldn’t help asking, "So what should we do now? Do you have any way to wake Granny Li up?"

Ma Guocai thought for a moment, "The comrades from the women’s federation often gathered to recite the quotes of great leaders. Let me give it a try."

Dong Yan was stunned, never expecting that this would be Ma Guocai’s method.

She found it hard to imagine that people back then could draw such immense spiritual power from that book of quotes.

Half-believing, she watched as Ma Guocai crouched down by Li Lanhua’s bed in the hospital, reciting the quotes in her ear.

To this day, Ma Guocai could still clearly remember the contents of the quotes, reciting them fluently. His voice was soft but firm.

As he recited, Li Lanhua, lying on the bed with empty eyes, twitched her eyelids.

Her eyes turned slightly towards the elderly Ma Guocai.

Dong Yan was overjoyed and incredulous, "It actually works!"

"Granny Li, Granny Li, can you hear us?"

She quickly called out to Granny Li, spiritually linking to her consciousness.

Ma Guocai’s voice grew louder, and Granny Li’s consciousness seemed to become increasingly clear.

The surroundings began to ripple like water, gently swaying.

Dong Yan was overjoyed; it meant that the Spiritual Illusion Realm was about to shatter.

As soon as Granny Li woke up, she could walk out from here and completely defeat her inner demons.

"Old Li, Old Li, wake up. It’s all in the past. Would you really leave me to struggle alone in this Yangshan?"

Ma Guocai, with tears streaming down his face, began to cry, forgetting to recite the quotes.

Li Lanhua’s lips finally moved slightly, "Old Ma..."

Her appearance and expression visibly aged at a rapid pace.

Everything around them began to dissolve.

Dong Yan opened her eyes, sweating profusely, and looked at Granny Li lying in the Bamboo House, with Ma Guocai beside her, tears streaming down his face. A smile crept onto her face.

Yang Mei and Song Wen quickly looked over.

"Yanyan, how did it go?"

"Yanyan, are you alright?"

Dong Yan happily announced, "We did it!"
