Chapter 278 Immersed in it
He looked around carefully and was suddenly shocked. This was the village where he lived as a child.
Although he knew it was an illusion, Chen Yile felt an irresistible urge in his heart.
His grandfather died early, and he has been particularly close to him since he was a child.
This familiar village evoked memories deep in his heart and made him long to visit his former home.
Chen Yile took slow steps and walked towards the old house in his memory.
Along the way, familiar scenery kept coming into view. The ancient tree was still standing tall, and the stone bench under the tree seemed to still retain the warmth of childhood.
The paths in the village are winding, and every stone carries his childhood memories.
Finally, he arrived in front of his old house.
The old wooden door, the mottled walls, everything is just as I remember.
Chen Yile gently pushed the door open, making a creaking sound.
The house was filled with an old smell, and the sunlight shone through the dilapidated windows onto the ground, forming streaks of light and shadows.
He seemed to see his childhood self, spending happy times with his grandfather in this house.
His grandfather’s kind smile, warm embrace, and earnest teachings all appeared in his mind.
Chen Yile walked to a corner of the room where the tools his grandfather used were placed.
He gently picked up a hoe and felt the traces of time left on it.
He recalled the scene when he was a child working in the fields with his grandfather, who patiently taught him how to farm and how to get along with nature.
In this illusory old house, Chen Yile was immersed in memories and couldn't extricate himself.
He seemed to have returned to his carefree childhood, where there was no threat from evil spirits, no terrifying ghostland, only the love of his grandfather and a warm home.
However, he also knew clearly that all this was an illusion.
But he was unwilling to break this beautiful memory easily. He wanted to stay a little longer and feel his grandfather's presence more.
Chen Yile paced slowly in the room, looking at the familiar furniture, each piece of which brought back a memory.
He walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. The once familiar fields were still quiet and beautiful.
He thought back to the days when he was a child, running and playing in the fields, chasing butterflies and picking wild flowers.
Those good times seem like just yesterday, yet so far away.
Chen Yile knew that he couldn't keep immersing himself in memories.
He must find a way to get rid of the illusion, return to the real world, and continue fighting the evil spirits.
But before leaving, he wanted to experience this place full of memories again.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let the warm memories flow through his heart.
Then he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of determination.
He didn't forget that this was an illusion!
Chen Yile took one last look at the old house, then turned and walked out.
However, when he looked up, he saw the house where he lived as a child. The familiar appearance made his heart tremble suddenly.
In this illusion, both parents were still there, and their figures seemed to carry the warmth of time, suddenly pulling Chen Yile back to the past.
Chen Yile's parents have always been hardworking and kind people. In this rural area, they make a living by relying on a few acres of thin land and some manual labor.
My father is a simple farmer. He gets up before dawn every day to work in the fields, carefully tending to the crops. His hands are covered with calluses, the marks left by years of hard work.
My mother takes care of the housework at home, doing laundry, cooking, sewing and mending, and keeping the house tidy.
When Chen Yile was a child, he loved going to the fields with his father.
The morning sun shines on the earth, and the fields are filled with a fresh scent. His father will patiently teach him about various crops and tell him how to sow, water and fertilize.
Chen Yile always listened with great interest, and his little heart was filled with curiosity and awe of nature.
In this quiet countryside, life is plain but full of warmth and happiness.
The family sits together for dinner, sharing the joys and sorrows of the day.
At night, his mother would tell Chen Yile stories, and those ancient legends and fairy tales would accompany him to sleep.
However, fate took a turn on an ordinary day.
That day, my father went to work in the fields as usual. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind blew violently, and soon, heavy rain began to fall.
Dad was worried that the crops in the field would be damaged by the rain, so he hurried to check the situation. In the muddy field, he accidentally slipped and fell into a deep pit.
When the villagers found him, he was already unconscious.
After hearing the news, the mother rushed to the scene anxiously. She looked at the injured father and couldn't stop crying.
The villagers rushed my father to the hospital, but due to his severe injuries, his condition was very critical.
The moment Chen Yile learned that his father was in trouble, his heart was filled with fear and helplessness.
He didn't understand why his good life suddenly turned out like this.
He desperately wanted to change everything and prayed to God to make his father better.
In the hospital, my mother stayed by my father's bedside day and night, taking good care of him.
Chen Yile often visited his father and told him about school events, hoping to wake him up. However, his father's condition did not improve at all.
At the same time, the family's financial situation became increasingly difficult.
In order to treat my father's illness, my mother had to borrow money from everywhere.
Her face was full of fatigue and sorrow, but she never gave up hope.
Seeing his mother's hard work, Chen Yile felt guilty and wanted to do something for his family, so he started helping with housework and working in the fields.
He studies hard, hoping to have a bright future and give his parents a good life.
However, fate did not seem to be on their side. Despite the efforts of Mom and Chen Yile, Dad's condition became increasingly serious.
Finally, one cold winter, Dad passed away.
The death of his father was a heavy blow to the family. His mother cried all day long, and Chen Yile was also in deep pain.
He felt powerless and unable to change anything. He began to doubt himself and the meaning of life.
As the days passed, my mother took on the burden of the family alone.
She worked harder just to give Chen Yile a better life.
Chen Yile also became more sensible. He studied hard and helped his mother with housework.
However, misfortune struck again.
One day, his mother was in a car accident on her way to town to sell agricultural products. When Chen Yile heard the news, he felt like his whole world was collapsing.
