Fangzheng nodded, "How long has it been since you took a good look at yourself?"
Huang Lanlan was taken aback. There was a mirror in front of her. When she saw herself in the mirror, she immediately burst into tears! Wasn't her reflection the woman who resembled a rabid dog? It was not a loud wail but a silent cry. She suddenly realized a problem, something she had never considered carefully. All these years, she had always believed that Jiang Song had changed but the one who had truly changed was not Jiang Song. It was herself! After Wei Shuqiao's death, she changed. She became paranoid and had nightmares. She did not like looking in the mirror. She was afraid that she would see the legendary ominous Wei Shuqiao in the mirror!
Therefore, be it putting on makeup or doing anything else, she did not use a mirror. Even if she occasionally saw a mirror, she would try her best not to look at it or ignore it. She had kept this habit for twenty years. Now that she had suddenly seen herself, she understood … She sat on the ground and cried silently. Only after a long while did she say, "I know. It's not that Jiang Song has changed but that I have changed. All these years, there's a ghost in my heart. I have also become neither human nor ghost. Jiang Song must have guessed it long ago. Heh heh … He did not say it but he probably hates me. Venerable Fangzheng, what do you think is the point of me living? "
"Jiang Song did not leave you. It means that he has always loved you. At least it was the you of the past, the pure you who smiled like a flower, not the present you. If you want his love, all you have to do is change back. "
"Transform back? That's … too difficult, "said Huang Lanlan.
"Look at that rock. Push it up the mountain and This Penniless Monk will help you complete the transformation. How about that?" Fangzheng suddenly pointed at a rock at the foot of a mountain.
Huang Lanlan looked at the rock that was as tall as a person and shook her head, "It's too big. I can't push it up."
"How do you know you can't if you don't try? Or are you not even going to try for Jiang Song? "asked Fangzheng.
Huang Lanlan was taken aback. She gritted her teeth and ran over. She pushed the rock with all her might but all she managed to do was roll it forward a little. However, Huang Lanlan did not despair. Instead, she revealed a look of hope, "I can push it!"
Therefore, Huang Lanlan pushed with all her might. There was only one thought in her mind: For Jiang Song, she must succeed! He didn't know where the strength came from, but he pushed the rock little by little towards the top of the mountain. When he couldn't push it any further, he would stop and push against the big rock. Wind, rain, thunder, thunder, and finally, on the tenth year, he pushed the rock to the top of the mountain.
Huang Lanlan exclaimed in excitement, "Venerable Fangzheng, I did it. Help me! How about you help me complete the transformation? "
However, Fangzheng, who was standing on the mountain, returned with a question. "Such a huge rock has been pushed up. Is a simple change that difficult? Think about why you pushed the boulder up, and then tell me the answer. "
Huang Lanlan was stunned. She carefully thought about the reason for her firm belief in the past ten years. There was only one reason. She wanted Jiang Song to love her again because she loved him! So, for him, was it really not possible to let go of everything and change back to herself?
Just like that, a year passed. The sun rose and the moon set, and the flowers bloomed and withered.
Just as Huang Lanlan was lost, spring arrived. The snow melted and a fresh flower bloomed.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her. It was a flawless white Fangzheng who was smiling like the sun.
Fangzheng gently caressed the flower and said, "Last year, it withered. Back then, it was so ugly. This year, it has bloomed again. It is as beautiful as before. However, this beauty needs to survive the cold winter. "
When Huang Lanlan heard that, her eyes suddenly lit up. She suddenly got up and kowtowed three times at Fangzheng. "Thank you, Master. I understand. As long as I can change back, I'm willing to atone for my sins! I want to wash away the sins on my body. I want Brother Song to see the perfect me. We have walked our entire lives. I do not wish for us to leave this world with regrets. It's for him, for me, and for Wei Shuqiao. "
With that said, Huang Lanlan smiled.
Fangzheng smiled as well. He looked up into the sky and said, "There's thunder."
Huang Lanlan looked up as well and heard a boom. She jolted awake. She heard the knocking of wooden fish and the chanting of scriptures. Everything in front of her vanished, leaving only the temple hall and the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque in front of her.
Huang Lanlan looked at everything in front of her in shock. She then looked at Fangzheng and could not help but ask, "Fang-"
"Amitabha. Patron, the monastery is about to close." Fangzheng stood up and interrupted Huang Lanlan.
Huang Lanlan looked deeply at Fangzheng who returned a smile. Huang Lanlan gave a deep bow and turned to leave. When she was about to descend the mountain, she turned her head and saw a white-robed monk standing in front of the monastery. He was slowly closing the monastery's doors. Finally, he disappeared from Huang Lanlan's line of sight.
"It's like a dream. Now that I have awoken, it's time to face reality." With that said, Huang Lanlan descended the mountain.
Along the way, Huang Lanlan met Huang Lanping, Huang Lanyu, and company who had just finished their meal and were about to head up the mountain.
"Sis, why did you come down? Aren't you blocking the door? " Huang Lanping looked at Huang Lanlan with a pained heart. Regardless of how others viewed Huang Lanlan, she was still his younger sister in his eyes. Others might not feel his heart ache for her, but he did. However, seeing Huang Lanlan deteriorate day by day like she was mentally ill, with her odd temper fluctuating between good and bad gave him a headache. He was not afraid of fooling around with Huang Lanlan. He was only afraid that Huang Lanlan would disappear if she was unhappy.
Huang Lanlan smiled sweetly, "Brother, thank you for all these years."
"Uh, Sis, what … What's wrong with you?" Huang Lanping felt that Huang Lanlan had changed. Although her words had turned odd, her eyes were clear. They no longer had the usual crazed and lifeless look.
"I've thought it through. Brother, Sister-in-law, Cousin, I will still be the Ah Lan from twenty years ago. I will no longer be the shrew Huang Lanlan. I want to turn over a new leaf and take back everything I once had, "said Huang Lanlan with a smile.
Huang Lanping, Huang Lanyu, Ding Qian, and Tian Ye were dumbfounded. What was going on? However, Huang Lanping laughed. He hugged Huang Lanlan and laughed out loud with tears streaming down his face, "Ah Lan, do you know? I've been f * * king waiting for these words for twenty years! I've been following your ass for twenty years. The surrounding villages treat me as a scammer but I don't regret it. I'm fine now that you're fine. Let's be good people in the future. "
Huang Lanlan cried as well.
Huang Lanyu cried along with Ding Qian. Tian Ye wore a dumbfounded look.
The family descended the mountain and returned to the village. Huang Lanlan gave Jiang Song a phone call. And when Jiang Song, who was working at the construction site, received the call, he ran without a word.
"Jiang Song, where are you going? I'm telling you, if you dare work as a miner, you can forget about this month's salary! "shouted the foreman.
"I don't want it! Haha … I don't want it! I don't want anything! "Jiang Song laughed as he ran.
