Memories lingered at that fingertip.

Ten years have passed, and Yin Jiajia's face has hardly changed.

This island has the nauseating smell I'm familiar with.

Originally, beneath this gentle breeze on the island, hides the utmost wickedness of human nature.

Yin Jiajia's formation couldn't withstand my resentment.

Moreover, I had someone to help me.

Behind me, as the person approached, the bell swung rhythmically.

"Let me handle it."

I put down my sore arm and looked at him.

A ten-year-old child.

Three months ago, he dug through the sand and let me see the sun again.

He said, "Mom, I've found you."

I can't describe the feeling at that moment. Ten years ago, I abandoned him with my own hands, and ten years later, he used his childish hands to dig through the sand and find my head.

Soon, Yin Jiajia and her accomplices were defeated, and those men pointed at the child in astonishment, saying, "Ghost child, evil omen, run... get away from him!"

The boy raised an eyebrow and helplessly pursed his lips, "I just don't like to smile, that's all."

Suppressing his emotions, he raised his hand and pulled Yin Jiajia over, making her float with her feet off the ground.

I took out the knife and confidently stepped forward, splitting open Yin Jiajia's chest amidst her screams of agony, finding her heart.

So, the heart is bitter and astringent.

I felt something beating in my chest, once, twice, and the blood began to circulate, slowly melting flesh and bones.

In the boy's eyes, I saw my original appearance.

My body also underwent changes; new flesh grew in all the disharmonious connections.

The sky was faintly bright, and the sun quietly revealed a bit of light, greeting the earth.

I held the boy's hand and left Wanzhou Island.

I walked slowly, and the boy was not in a hurry. He kept opening and closing his mouth.

I have to learn to walk, and he has to learn how to call me "Mom."

"Cough... Mom, what's my name? Master always calls me Qiuwa because he found me in autumn."

"Your name is Yang Qiusheng, okay?"

Not far away, a few children were playing jump rope together, and another child stared at them with expectant eyes. But as soon as the child approached, they would make faces and run far away.

I brought Qiusheng to that child's side, and after a while, the little child couldn't help but look up at me.

Qiusheng handed her a candy, saying, "Have some candy."

The girl smiled sweetly, "Thank you, two big brothers."

I was rare in a daze, only then realizing my own body. I'm afraid everyone would think I'm a bad person.

Clearly, I have a female face but a male body.

"Mom, I'll take you to the Taoist temple."

My thoughts returned, and I refocused my attention on Qiusheng.

Qiusheng still had a stiff expression, but his tone was gentle, "There are many extraordinary things in the Taoist temple."

"I could talk about it for three days and three nights..."

"You have to listen carefully, okay?"
