Chapter 116 - 115 Can You Still Be Sure That I Am Her?

Chapter 116: Chapter 115 Can You Still Be Sure That I Am Her?

Under the darkened sky, apart from the remnants of grass and walls, there was only this silhouette. The twilight outlined her figure, she was so thin, yet her straight posture was like she had thousands of troops behind her.

Liang Zhi staggered to his feet, stepping on the rocky ground, and stumbled forward: "Aunt, is that you?"

"Of course, it’s me." Liang Ning stood among the wild grass in the Buddhist hall, "If it weren’t me, who else would be here in the middle of the night?"

"Then why can’t I see your face?"

She was completely in black, including her face and head.

Liang Ning sat on the broken wall, bent a leg and looked at him: "I was burned by such a big fire, isn’t it normal not to let you see my face?"

That’s true. It was said that when they found Aunt, there were not many places on her body with intact skin.

His aunt used to be so beautiful!

Even if there was a scar on her face, her brows and eyes were still lovely.

Liang Zhi looked at her again, then walked up to her. Her face was covered with cloth, her long hair was loose, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

This must be to cover the scars.

His heart ached even more.

Although he didn’t know if ghosts would have scars or not, it wouldn’t be surprising that a young girl, even in death, would care about her appearance.

He said, "Aunt, you have lost weight. Tomorrow, I will definitely burn more paper for you! And offer you many delicious foods! Whatever you want to eat or buy underground, don’t be frugal! If you run out of money, I’ll burn some for you!"

Liang Ning gave him a sideways glance. "Are you so sure I’m a ghost?"

Liang Zhi said, "Of course not."

Liang Ning raised an eyebrow.

In Liang Zhi’s eyes was pure sincerity: "Aunt is forever the best aunt in my heart, both in heaven and on earth, you are my family!"

Nonsense. Isn’t this still a ghost?

Liang Ning extended her hand: "Touch me."

Liang Zhi would never touch any girl’s hand, but this was his aunt. Without a doubt, Liang Zhi held her hand and even went on to count her protruding bones.

Aunt is formidable, even if she’s just a soul, she feels so real to the touch.

"Aunt, you really need to eat more, so you can have the strength to beat those bad ghosts... wait, why is it warm?!"

He looked down in disbelief, the hand in his palm was slender and thin, not even half the size of his! Yet it was warm and strong, as if at any moment, it could pinch his ear!

"Aunt!" He looked up in shock...

Liang Ning folded her arms: "Have you ever seen a ghost as lively as me?"

"That’s impossible!" Liang Zhi’s voice turned into a shrill whistle!

The aunt’s remains were personally collected by Aunt and Mother! They were verified beyond doubt!

How could she still be alive?

Liang Ning shot him a look like a dagger: "Boy, you’re hoping old lady doesn’t live, are you?"

"Of course not!" Liang Zhi blurted out.

How could he not hope she would live? He longed for her to return to the world, yet he knew it was absolutely impossible, afraid to endure the boundless disappointment after hope in vain!

"Aunt, are you truly alive? Or are you not my aunt but here to deceive me?!"

Liang Ning said, "If I were here to deceive you, what would you do?"

Liang Zhi fell silent.

He looked up at the hill, the mountain wind pushing the pine forest to surge. You say it brought something, yet seemed to have brought nothing; you say it came without a trace, and yet the trees and winds were palpably real.

He withdrew his gaze and sat back on the wall.

"If you are deceiving me, I won’t blame you. You must have a request if you’re doing this. You can say whatever you need. Seeing how convincing you are, I’m not saying I can’t satisfy you." Pausing, he added, "Of course, if you want to marry me, that’s not possible."

Liang Ning grabbed his ear: "When you were three, you wet the bed and ruined half of the longevity character painting your grandmother Elder Fei painstakingly embroidered. I took the blame for you!

"When you were five, you took your uncle’s talking parrot and traded it for snacks, and it was I who redeemed it with money to spare you a beating! And when you were seven, you fought with the Heir of Prince Rong..."

She continued to tick off her fingers as she recounted, while Liang Zhi, who was held by the ear, trembled more and more as he listened!

Finally, he grasped Liang Ning: "Aunt! Is it really you?!"

She knew all his little secrets, and the tone of rebuke and the gesture of tugging his ear were so familiar. If not his Aunt, who else could it be? If not Liang Ning, who else could it be?!

Liang Ning gazed at him steadily, and after a moment, said softly: "When you were eleven, your second brother sacrificed himself, and in front of his spirit, you burned one hundred and one sheets of paper. On each was a promise you wrote, saying you would become a true man.

"When you were fourteen, Chen Er took command during mourning, and reluctant to be left behind, you secretly stole a Passage Order from Chen Er’s hand to become his grain officer.

"You said that in battle brothers stand together, and you would never let him fight while you remained safely behind, ensuring he’d never worry about supplies..."

"Aunt!"

Liang Zhi could no longer control himself, lunging forward and throwing himself into Liang Ning’s embrace!

The sound of his wailing drowned out the wind, as Liang Ning stroked his hair and spoke with difficulty: "You rascal, I am your aunt."

The strong and vigorous youth, no, he was already a young man of coming age, leaned on her thin shoulders, crying like a child.

"I thought you were truly dead! We all thought you couldn’t come back!... Come! Let’s go home! I’ll take you home!"

He dragged Liang Ning down the steps, his actions so urgent, holding her hands so tightly, as if one step slower and she would disappear!

"Don’t be in such a hurry to go back. I have many things to tell you. Once I explain, we can discuss going home."

Meeting her intense gaze, Liang Zhi finally began to calm down.

He asked, "Aunt, how come you are here? Where have you been all these years? Why didn’t you come looking for us?"

Liang Ning pulled him to sit down, speaking slowly: "Before I answer your questions, I want to ask you, do you truly believe that I am Liang Ning?"

"Of course!" Liang Zhi was excited again, "Who else could you be if not her? Only Aunt would know so many things about me, I’ve only shared them with you! Your tone and gestures, everything is just like Aunt!

"It’s not like I haven’t had experiences. I’ve seen many people and things over the years!

"I am absolutely certain it’s you! Even if someone tried to mimic you, they might imitate your mannerisms, but they could never replicate your aura!"

Liang Ning asked again, "And if I changed my appearance, even my body, would you still believe it’s me?"

"Of course, I would!" Liang Zhi straightened up, "The bond between us as aunt and nephew is in the heart, not in appearance!"

Liang Ning nodded, "Good."

She removed the face veil, lifted her head: "Now tell me again, after seeing this face, are you still sure in your heart?"
