Every single memory from the past flashed before her eyes. Finally, her soul had crumbled under all the pressure, being smashed into many pieces and fluttering in the air, fragment by fragment, like goose feathers.
Suddenly, the midnight clock struck. A group of kids ran towards her and collided with her. A young girl was knocked to the ground; the somewhat fish-shaped lantern in her hand was squashed by the impact. It was white colored and had red eyes; it looked more like a rabbit instead. It had a symbol of a gold coin carved on its stomach. The young girl picked up her squashed lantern and started to cry loudly, as Chu Qiao stopped in her tracks. She squatted down and wiped the tears off the girl's eyes, as she took out a lump of silver to give it to her.
