Chapter 4383: 5.0135 Past Life 3

Qiao Mu's gaze shifted, her eyes falling on the worn-out cloth doll.

This was... the doll her mother gave her in her previous life, which she later secretly gave to Little Lin'er.

She remembered that when Little Lin'er died in her previous life, she was still clutching this doll.

Afterwards, when she collected her sister's body, she picked up this doll and kept it by her side ever since.

Now, suddenly seeing this object, Qiao Mu couldn't help but stand up and lean closer, wanting to see it more clearly.

Was this real?

Her transparent fingers passed through the doll's head, grasping nothing.

Of course, as a soul body, how could she grasp anything?

Qiao Mu looked down and saw her past self on the bed silently shedding tears.

Not a single sound escaped her, yet tears could be seen rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

This feeling was truly bizarre.

It was as if she was currently watching someone else's tragic life, and strangely, she wanted to reach out and hug that person silently weeping.

She wanted to stroke her head, to comfort her and tell her not to cry.

[So, when I cried in my previous life, was I this suppressed?]

Not even a single sob escaped her, as if making a sound would alarm someone.

She lay there, silently shedding tears, her eyes fixed on the gauze canopy above, her face desolate and indifferent.

Qiao Mu felt unwell in her heart: [Did I really cry so often in my previous life?]

She thought, her gaze fixed on the bed, looking at her past self, and let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, her gaze froze, settling on the lower abdomen of her past self.

She clearly saw something emitting a faint white glow.

[Right, it's the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl in my body causing trouble.]

Qiao Mu pondered for a moment, thinking: Did I have the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl in my body in my previous life?

That's right, listening to Long Qian and the others, the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl must have been given by her mother, which means that in her previous life, she should have had this mermaid pearl.

But why was she completely unaware of everything about this Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl in this life?

Was it intentionally sealed, or did she simply not want to remember anything?

If she had a physical body at this moment, Qiao Mu would surely break into a cold sweat.

Because she found that she seemed to have glimpsed some deep-seated secrets, some profound mysteries. She seemed to know something.

As far as her eyes could see, the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl emitted a soft glow, continuously swaying within her past self.

When Young Master Qin entered, the light slowly subsided.

Qiao Mu's wandering soul body, like a spirit clinging to her back, floated around in front of her past self these past few days.

The Second Young Master came to see her almost every day.

This struck Qiao Mu as very odd.

Did she really lose so many memories after her self-destruction?

At least this particular这段 (duàn - segment), she had never remembered before.

The Second Young Master's daily visits had almost become a habit, as if he had become a different person, suddenly treating her exceptionally well.

However, her past self remained unchanged, usually just quietly listening to him talk, but never communicating with anyone.

Ouyang Su came every noon to diagnose her and take her pulse.

In the afternoon, Young Master Qin would push her out to bask in the sun and feel the breeze.

Her whip injuries slowly healed.

One day, Qiao Mu saw the fingers of her past self, which were near the bed, move. She couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

How could this be? Qiao Mu wondered.

Before, all her limbs were broken; she couldn't even move a single finger.

Why now could she?

It was not a delusion, nor a blur. Her fingers truly moved.
