Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Duoduo’s Memory (Part 1)

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner, as the supreme magic artifact of the Demon Path, is undeniably domineering.

Even the Immortal Gods, once captured inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, are utterly helpless, enslaved by the Banner Master from within, forever deprived of freedom.

Lin Yunduo, this little ghost, although somewhat unique, once inside the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, everything is controlled by Shen Siyuan, including her memories.

During the previous conversation in the car, the little one’s young age made it difficult for her to articulate many things clearly, so it was better to directly access her memories for a clearer picture.

Duoduo stood under the eaves, watching the heavy rain outside.

Dad and mom had gone to work, and her brother was also at school, leaving Duoduo alone at home.

Mom had instructed her before leaving not to go out when she was home alone, and that she would be back from work soon.

Duoduo was obedient; she watched TV for a while, but soon found it boring...

She played with her cloth dolls for a bit, but quickly lost interest in that too...

Looking at the empty house made her miss her dad and mom, and she also wished her brother was there to play with her.

Just then, the previously clear sky suddenly began to pour rain.

Duoduo stood under the eaves, watching the rain flatten all the flowers planted by her mom in the courtyard, and she let out a long, regretful sigh.

She remembered her brother, who seemed to have left for school at noon without an umbrella.

She quickly ran back inside the house, looking at a red umbrella in the corner red plastic bucket.

Duoduo hesitated about whether to bring the umbrella to her brother.

Her brother would get wet, and getting wet might make him ill, leading to having to take bitter medicine...

Her brother didn’t like the bitter medicine, and neither did Duoduo...

Therefore, Duoduo decided to bring the umbrella to her brother.

She was smart, knew the way; her mom had taken her to her brother’s school before, and her brother had told her which way to go.

"Take bus number 6, the bus stops 6 times, then you can reach brother’s school..."

Thinking this, Duoduo couldn’t wait to grab the umbrella from the red plastic bucket.

It was an oil paper umbrella, exquisitely styled, adorned with a pine and crane pattern.

This was Duoduo’s favorite umbrella; once during a rainy day, her dad had taken it, and Duoduo, upset, ran into the rain declaring she would let the rain hit her to death, so that her dad would have no Duoduo...

Later, her brother even teased her for being silly, saying rain couldn’t kill a person.

Shen Siyuan, who was perusing Duoduo’s memories, saw her home’s decor—clearly not like the 21st century.

Whether it was the TV, fridge, or wooden couch... they all exuded the style of the 80s.

However, from these household electronics, it was evident that Duoduo’s family was quite well-off, probably both parents held high-status jobs.

At this time, Duoduo had already put on her yellow rain boots, holding a kaleidoscope and carrying the umbrella as she walked out of the house.

The cunning little thing, before leaving, even took some coins from her little red piggy bank.

As for why she also carried a kaleidoscope, she thought of it as her telescope, so she could see her brother once she reached the school’s entrance.

Shen Siyuan followed Duoduo’s memories, moving forward.

The rain poured heavily, the world was a foggy blur, and it was extremely dangerous for a five-year-old child to be out at this time.

Yet, Duoduo was completely unaware, even slightly joyful and excited.

The rain hitting the umbrella made a pitter-patter sound, and Duoduo happily twirled the umbrella handle, causing the rain to splash around...

Seeing the puddles on the road, she deliberately stomped in them with each step, the splashing water accompanied by her joyful laughter...

...

"Three, eight, one, and six—I know how to read, I am really smart..."

Standing under the platform, Duoduo pridefully twirled her umbrella handle, rain splashing everywhere, oblivious to a man nearby who was staring straight at her.

"Haitang Station is here, please hurry if you’re getting off."

A public bus slowly pulled into the station, and the announcement was not made by an electronic voice, but by a young girl.

She was the ticket attendant of the bus, and it was still the early 1980s, there were no automated ticket systems yet, everything was manual.

Duoduo’s eyes widened, and seeing the bus stabilized, she hurriedly ran towards it with her little legs.

But she forgot to close her umbrella and got stuck while boarding, almost pulling someone down with her.

"Slow down, kid, are you alone, where are your parents?"

The ticket attendant asked with a bit of amusement.

"Mom and dad are at work, I’m going to school to find my brother."

Duoduo struggled to close her umbrella, which was quite big for her; it was easy to open, but hard to close. Seeing this, the ticket attendant came down from her seat, helped her bring the umbrella inside, and then helped her close it.

"You are going to West City Primary School to find your brother, right?"

This bus route only has one such school.

Duoduo nodded. Actually, she didn’t know if her brother’s school was called West City Primary School, but it was definitely a school.

"I’ll let you know when we arrive," the ticket attendant said with a smile.

The attendant did not choose to call the police or notify her parents, as in this era, it was quite common for children to wander around unsupervised, like it was an expected norm.

At that moment, a young man with a black umbrella boarded. He wasn’t very tall but was quite stocky with many bumps on his face and a knife scar on his right eyebrow, not giving a pleasant impression.

Seeing him, the ticket attendant’s voice softened.

"Which stop for you?"

"Train station."

"Five cents."

The young man bought a ticket and then walked to the back row of the bus.

After the young man passed by, Duoduo, who had been standing aside, handed over the few cents she had clenched in her palm.

She wore a dress without pockets, so she had been holding the coins tightly in her hand all the while.

Seeing this, the attendant chuckled, "Little Douding, you don’t need to buy a ticket."

Duoduo, a bit unhappy, said, "I am already a big kid."

"You’re not even 1.2 meters tall, can’t even close an umbrella, and you call yourself a big kid?" the attendant joked.

Without waiting for Duoduo to reply, she added, "Find a seat quickly and be careful not to fall."

Hearing this, Duoduo hurriedly sat down on a nearby seat, placing her umbrella beside her.

The rain continued outside the window...

"One stop... Two stops... Three stops..."

Watching the rain curtain outside, Duoduo dared not get distracted, continually counting the bus stops.

During this process, passengers came and went, getting on and off, their numbers not lessened by the heavy rain.

In this era, other than bicycles, the bus was the main mode of transport.

Therefore, the number of people catching the bus actually increased when it rained.

But after seeing Duoduo, they merely glanced and didn’t interfere much.

"West City Primary School is coming up, anyone getting off? Oh right, kid, your stop is here..."

The sharp voice of the ticket attendant rang out in the bus, and Duoduo, reacting quickly, hurriedly grabbed her umbrella and got off.

Only upon exiting the bus did she realize that she hadn’t opened her umbrella, and rain splashed heavily upon her.

But just then, she felt something cover her from the top.

Duoduo looked up to see a black umbrella blocking her view of the sky.

The sky suddenly roared with thunder, thunder rumbling loudly, and the rain intensified...
