There was a jade in this world named Memory River.
Ancient writings recorded that this jade understood feeling best.
A thought rose upon the wind, becoming memories that fell into the mortal world.
Like an illusion, yet not an illusion; like a memory, yet not a memory...
The butcher soon emerged from the house with a wine flask in hand and said to Luo Yin and the little girl with a smile, "I'll take you to find the teacher... He's teaching at the school right now!"
Watching the butcher lead the way ahead, Luo Yin slowly shook her head, pain filling her heart. She shook her head and murmured, "Why do this..."
"Why put yourself through this..."
Luo Yin gazed at the people moving along the street. Everyone wore a smile... yet within those smiles lay pain that would never fade...
"The Memory-River Spirit Jade can bring memories back into the world, but those..."
"Are false, in the end..."
The butcher leading the way seemed not to notice anything unusual about the two behind him. He simply continued, "Our town's old teacher passed away, but who would have thought this teacher would arrive just then?"
"And he doesn't ask for a single coin. He teaches the town's children for free! My Hu'er is at school listening to his lessons right now."
"Since you know the teacher, you're honored guests of our town. Of course I should take you to him..."
Holding the little girl's hand, Luo Yin slowly followed. People came and went through the town, turning to look at the beautiful Luo Yin and the little girl...
"Thank you!" Luo Yin said softly.
"It's no trouble!" The butcher waved his hand.
They arrived outside the school in the center of town. The voices of young children reciting drifted out.
