A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 310 Eye of Reincarnation

After Fu Qingli regained his sight, he was happier than anyone else. However, in order to comfort Aunt Liang and not let her shed too many tears for him, he had to pretend to be calm in front of others.

When alone in the room, Fu Qingli still lay quietly in front of the window, looking at the flying snow outside and smiled gently. The bright and beautiful eyes under the long eyelashes flashed with joy, and as she smiled, two lines of tears unknowingly slid down the corners of her eyes.

He had been disheartened for three years since he became blind, and thought he would be a blind man for the rest of his life. Fortunately, fate was on his side and a kind-hearted doctor like Si Yao appeared.

After crying and laughing for a while and finally venting the joy in his heart, Fu Qingli turned around and came to a large wooden box placed in the corner. The box was full of books that he regarded as treasures. After he became blind, he asked Aunt Liang to keep them carefully in this wooden box.

Opening the wooden box, Fu Qingli picked up a history book and opened it carefully. Even though Aunt Liang would take it out to dry for him every year, it still had a musty smell after not being opened for a long time. But Fu Qingli still raised his hand and gently stroked the rich words on the book as if he was holding a treasure. It was like meeting a long-lost friend, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips again:

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, Zhiyu. I miss you so much."

Three days later, Fu Qingli finally walked out of the house. The winter sun was warm after the snow, and the rain was cold among the pines. He felt that Taozhu Village, which he had not seen for three years, was both familiar and unfamiliar. He took off his blindfold and bamboo stick, and walked in the yard at a loss. He didn't know what to do with his hands.

"The sunlight is too strong. Don't stay outside for too long. Be careful not to hurt your eyes." Si Yao saw that Fu Qingli, who was usually quiet, was happily wandering around the yard like a child today. Although she was happy for him, she had to remind him.

"Okay." Fu Qingli narrowed his eyes after listening to Si Yao's words, responded obediently and went straight back to the house.

After noon, Si Yao brought the boiled medicine soup to Fu Qingli's room as usual. Seeing that he was taking out the books from the wooden box, she thought he was going to study hard again, so she hurriedly advised: "Your eyes are good, don't rush into things. Studying is important, but you should recover your health first."

"Don't worry, Miss Si Yao. You are the one who healed my eyes. I will protect them well and won't let them get hurt again." Fu Qingli smiled, then pointed at the books piled on the table and continued to explain, "These books smell a bit musty. I think I'll take them out to dry in the sun today because the sun is good."

"Finish the medicine first, I'll help you dry it." So that's how it is. Si Yao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. She immediately handed the medicine in her hand to Fu Qingli, and without saying a word, she went out of the house with a pile of books.

Fu Qingli has always admired Si Yao's decisiveness and even felt inferior to him.

After Fu Qingli quickly finished the medicine in the bowl, he also hurriedly picked up some books and followed him out.

Soon, the two spread the books on a bamboo mat at the door to dry. In the sunlight, Si Yao squatted beside the bamboo mat and looked at the books in front of him curiously. There were poems, classics, travel talks, and historical records of dynasties...

Si Yao was carefully studying the book in front of her, while Fu Qingli, who was sitting on the other side of the bamboo mat, was looking at Si Yao quietly, with a smile in her beautiful eyes.

Aunt Liang, who was just returning from the backyard vegetable garden, looked at the two people gathered around the pile of books from afar with a kind smile on her face. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: How great it would be if Qingli could marry Miss Si Yao!

Aunt Liang had an ear disease since she was a child. It didn't affect her much when she was young, but she became increasingly deaf as she got older. Si Yao had treated her before, but after all, it was an ear disease she had contracted more than 40 years ago, and years of hard work had caused her to become old and weak early. Now she could only help relieve her pain, and it was almost impossible to cure her.

"Eye of Samsara, what book is this?" Si Yao finally fixed her gaze on a mysterious yellow book. She then picked it up and asked curiously.

"Overseas ghost stories." When Fu Qingli saw Si Yao looking up, he quickly lowered his eyes guiltily and replied nervously.

"Weird story?" For some reason, although Si Yao clearly did not believe in reincarnation, she was still inexplicably attracted by the word reincarnation on the book, so she curiously opened it and read it.

"Legend has it that there is an Island called the Flower Goddess Island in the East China Sea. It only appears on the sea surface on the fifteenth day of every month. The island is like spring all year round, and flowers are everywhere because the Flower God lives there. But there are no living things on the island. Even if someone accidentally enters the island, they will be thrown into the sea by the Flower God. There is a deep pool in the southwest of the Island. It is said that this deep pool has the power of reincarnation, hence the name Eye of Samsara. It can take people to wherever they want, and even back to their previous lives, but the Eye of Samsara will devour all the memories of those who fall into it." Seeing that Si Yao was interested, Fu Qingli summarized the whole book in a few short sentences.

"Since the flower god prevented humans from entering the island, then no one has ever come to the island and used the Eye of Samsara. So where does this legend come from?" Si Yao only listened to Fu Qingli's story and although he thought it was nonsense, he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"According to the book, the Flower God only allows people with a predestined relationship to go to the island. If a person does not meet the Flower God within half an incense stick of time after arriving on the island, it means that he has a predestined relationship with the Eye of Samsara, and the Flower God will not show up to stop him." Fu Qingli continued to reply.

Si Yao said nothing more, but just lowered her head and looked at the book in her hands thoughtfully. She knew that this was just a legend without any basis, but for some reason, a small ripple was stirred in her calm heart.

Since arriving in this strange world, Si Yao began to pay attention to her intuition and dreams. After all, it was through these two things that she learned about Jiang Si Yao's whereabouts. At this time, her intuition made her pay attention to this overseas ghost story. Could this Eye of Samsara help them go back? But does this Flower God Island really exist?

"How much is this book? Can you sell it to me?" Si Yao no longer hesitated and asked Fu Qingli directly.

"If you want to take it, just take it. I still owe you such a big favor. Why be so formal with me?" Fu Qingli was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly.

"Thank you." Despite this, Si Yao still thanked him gratefully.

"Miss Si Yao also believes in reincarnation?" Fu Qingli still asked with a smile.

"I don't believe it." Si Yao shook her head without thinking. Seeing the other party looking at the book in her hand with a puzzled look, she explained: "I just think this legend is interesting."

"It's really interesting. You can take someone to the place you want, but you have to exchange that person's memory for it."

Fu Qingli nodded absentmindedly. Didn't he want to go back fourteen years to reunite with his parents? But if all his memories were erased, would he be able to recognize them?
