Rebirth: Inheriting Millions In The Eighties-Chapter 798 - 796 Main Text Finished_1
Xia Ningxing couldnβt help but laugh, as if coming back to her senses, nodding, "Yes, it was there, exactly there." ππ»πππππ«π£π€πππ΅.ππ€π’
Like opening a treasure chest of stories, she shared with her children and grandchildren about her childhood life, "Initially, the old man and I were neighbors, living very close by. Back then, I accidentally fell into the water..."
Well, to be accurate, it was the original owner of the body who had fallen into the water, but itβs probably best not to tell them such a terrifying incident, so as not to scare the kids.
Xia Ningxing recounted in a gentle tone.
Everyone listened quietly.
Lu Tingli would occasionally pass water to his old lady to moisten her throat.
Time passed, and finally, Xia Ningxing finished her story.
She suddenly turned to look at the elderly man beside her, "Lu."
She called out that long-lost nickname.
Lu Tingli couldnβt help but feel a little dazed.
It had been a long time since he heard her call him that.
Ever since they grew old, they had taken to calling each other old man and old lady.
So now, suddenly hearing this nickname, he felt quite unaccustomed.
"Lu," Xia Ningxing called him again, gazing into his eyes with a slightly hoarse voice, "Lu, Brother Lu." "Iβm here, whatβs the matter?" Lu Tingli responded gently.
"Nothing, I just wanted to call you that," Xia Ningxing replied with a smile, her radiant smile dazzling.
Afterward, the two elderly people both looked up together at the setting sun not far away.
The last rays of the setting sun fell on the silver hair of the two elders, and the hands that looked as gnarled as tree bark held each other tightly, never to be parted.

Here is a side story from ancient times.
At night, while sleeping, Xia Ningxing didnβt know what happened, but her brain, which had been growing muddled with age, suddenly cleared up.
She suddenly remembered somethingβan era from her memory she had lost before transmigrating!
She remembered!
She remembered everything!
It turned out she had once transmigrated to ancient times.
As she tilted her head slightly, looking at the old man still asleep beside her, a hot tear slowly fell from the corner of her eye, obviously not expecting that they had such a destiny.
It turns out, they had known each other a thousand years ago!
A thousand years earlier.
In the Southern Country.
The lush forest, the scorching sun baking the earth, all around, the plants hung their heads wilted, only the cicadas screamed heartbreakingly, lamenting the cruelty of the sweltering heat.
On a small path littered with pebbles, a young girl lay.
Despite wearing a blue skirt, it was clear to the discerning eye that her garment was of modern make, the embroidery was the product of modern machinery.
After Xia Ningxing slowly opened her eyes, she saw an incredibly unfamiliar world.
Strange, wasnβt she sleeping inside the house? How did she come to such a place?
Was she dreaming?
But the stabbing pain in her back was a clear reminder, she was not dreaming.
She had really come to a place like paradise, oh no...
When she saw the somewhat ancient-style mud and thatched houses, Xia Ningxing changed her mind.
What paradise? It might as well be some old ravine.
But how had she suddenly gone from home to such a place?
Could it be teleportation? Could it be time-travel? Could it be a confusion of memory?
Xia Ningxing couldnβt figure out the situation either, and could only first climb up from the ground.
She patted the dust off her body and not until she swept her gaze across the ground did she realize why her back had been so painfulβit was covered in pebbles, no wonder it felt so irritating.
One should know, her skin was quite delicate.
Well, to make a narcissistic comparison, it was like that of the Pea Princess!
Just as Xia Ningxing was preparing to wander around to scope out the situation, her sensitive nose suddenly caught a whiff of a bloody scent.
Was someone hurt?
Or was it some other situation?
A wariness swept across Xia Ningxingβs brows in an instant as she surveyed her surroundings, her gaze finally falling on the girl lying halfway in the water.
Then, Xia Ningxing was stunned, feeling a chill run from her head down to her heels.
It wasnβt the shock of seeing a dead body that had scared her.
It was because!
She she she... she looked exactly like her!
No, that wasnβt quite rightβat least her skin wasnβt as pale as hers.
But all the other details, even the moles, were in exactly the same spots.
At that moment, the girl was lying in the water with her eyes wide open in horror, her body bearing marks of having been gnawed on by wild beasts, not yet having closed her eyes in death.
Dead bodies were enough to scare one, yet now, seeing one with a face identical to her own, Xia Ningxing, bold as she was, couldnβt help but shiver, feeling as though a cold wind was swirling around her.
However, frightened as she was, Xia Ningxing still swallowed hard and took two steps forward.
There was no helping itβshe didnβt have any shoes on!
And the girlβs shoes were neatly placed ashore, suggesting she had been attacked by a sudden beast while washing her feet or catching fish in the river and bitten to death.
As for why the beast didnβt eat the girl after killing her, that was beyond Xia Ningxingβs knowledge.
Perhaps the beast suddenly had a change of heart?
Only when she drew closer did Xia Ningxing notice something amiss. The girl, bitten by the beast, was dressed in coarse ancient clothing, her hair adorned with a silver hairpin, which didnβt seem like a product of modern machinery but rather resembled a handmade item from ancient times.
Before Xia Ningxing could examine it closely, the creekβs water unexpectedly surged, and in the blink of an eye, the girl was swept away by the choppy waves.
"Donβt go!"
Xia Ningxing hurriedly reached out her hand to pull the girl back.
Though she was quick, the creekβs current was quicker.
In just a breath, the girl vanished from sight.
"Damn!!"
Xia Ningxing couldnβt help but curse aloud.
Normally, in such a situation, whether out of humanitarianism or something else, Xia Ningxing would have wanted to help and call the policeβto collect the body.
But now...
The body had completely disappeared.
Although Xia Ningxing felt some regret, she couldnβt possibly jump back into the water to search for a stranger.
So she picked up the girlβs embroidered shoes to wear and decided to find a place with people around to borrow a phone to call the police.
Even if she couldnβt retrieve the body, the least she could do was let the girlβs family know, so they wouldnβt search in vain like headless flies.
Interestingly enough, the girlβs shoe size was exactly the same as hers.
Walking around on the ground, Xia Ningxing was about to leave when she heard a clear young male voice calling, "Sis! Sis, where are you?"
"Sis, please donβt scare me, answer me!"
Seeing his sister not responding, the youth could no longer bear to mind his manners and directly called out her name, "Xia Ningxing, where have you gone? Iβve been searching for you for so long, please answer me, will you?"
The boyβs voice gradually took on a desperate, tearful tone.
