1181: An Impact

An Impact

Ying Bao has already learned about life and death. She had been to Jing Ruyue's grave, and her mother had explained to her what passing to the afterlife was.2

She also knew that the sinful would be punished in hell while the good would be sent to heaven.

"I get it," Ying Bao said. "They have gone to heaven with grandma, right?"

The little girl was right for the most part.

Jing Ruyue was still alive, but Xu Xiyan could not explain such a complicated matter to a six-year-old kid. As so, she could only nod her head to Ying Bao's question.

"Then they can play mahjong together now!" Ying Bao clapped.

What a pure mind… Xu Xiyan thought as she rubbed her daughter's head before turning to look at the grave. She prayed to God that the deceased would have a calm and peaceful afterlife.

Just as they were praying, Huo Yunshen was kneeling on the ground, hugging his head.

"Daddy? What's wrong?" Ying Bao asked, noticing that her father was in pain. "You can cry if you want to… I won't laugh at you."

Ying Bao understood that what Huo Yunshen had lost was far greater than what she had. They were his parents and grandfather.

Visiting the graveyard had caused a higher impact on Huo Yunshen's brain, and it felt as if someone was splitting his head open with an ax.

When his daughter tried to comfort him, he could not control his rage as he grabbed Ying Bao by her neck.

"Mu… mummy…" Ying Bao cried out with fear in her eyes.

She had no idea why her father was hurting her, or why his eyes were so scary.

Xu Xiyan heard her daughter's cry and turned to look, only to see her husband's disoriented face while he lifted Ying Bao off the ground by her neck.

"Hubby! Let go! You'll kill our daughter!" Xu Xiyan cried while pulling Huo Yunshen's hands apart.

"Wake up!" Xu Xiyan continued to shout while she interlocked with Huo Yunshen from behind. "Please! You have to calm down. Please…"

Xu Xiyan had forgotten how long she had been calling Huo Yunshen's name, but she managed to calm him down as his rage died down.

"Let's go home, okay? Let's leave here…" Xu Xiyan said, and they left. She was worried staying at the graveyard any longer would only worsen Huo Yunshen's condition.

They went back to Shengshi Yujing, and Xu Xiyan put Huo Yunshen down on the bed to rest.

She waited until he was asleep before she left, closing the door quietly behind her.

"Mummy… What's wrong with daddy? Why is he so scary?" Ying Bao asked.

"Your daddy lost his daddy and mummy," Xu Xiyan explained. "Their death made him sick, and when his condition worsened, he could not recognize anyone. Until he becomes better, let's not talk about them, okay?"
