Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 3 (2/2)

I was plotting where I can cause him to have an “accident”, when he pulled my sleeves: “Yun Xiang, let’s go back.”

“Shut up.”

He obediently closed his mouth and uneasily looked around.

“Yun Xiang.”

He called me pitifully and stuck his hand out. I subconsciously hold his hand.

Suddenly I remembered what I’ve gotten to do.

“Brat, do you want to go to Tan Zhe temple?”

The temple is on a mountain. On the road to the temple there’s not many people. The road is small, narrow and slippery. It’s most suited for a child to climb and fall.

He thought for a moment and said: “It’s too far, it’s unsafe.”

“Nothing to worry about. We’ll be back soon.”

He stubbornly shook his head. I sighed: “Since today is your birthday I wanted to get a talisman for you. I heard that the talismans at Tan Zhe temple are really effective.”

I let go of his hand. A face full of disappointment: “It’s alright if you don’t want to go.”

“Yun Xiang…”

He hesitated for a moment, grabbed my hand and said: “We’ll go.”

My disappointed face turned into a happy face. I dragged him with and said:

“Alright, let’s go.”

Chu Kong, ah, Chu Kong, don’t blame me for being heartless. This is the best for us.

Don’t ask me why I don’t go die instead. Suicide is a heartless thing. I’m a soft-hearted person…….

To go to the temple, we need to past the center of the capital. Lu Hai Kong has never been here before. He found everything interesting.

“Yun Xiang, what’s that?”

I looked at where he’s pointing.

“Tanghulu ( candied fruit). It’s hard and sweet. It isn’t tasty.”

Lu Hai Kong’s eyes s.h.i.+ned brightly: “It’s for eating…”

I felt that this can be Lu Hai Kong’s last meal. In these circ.u.mstances I shouldn’t be saving the penny to buy Tanghulu. So I generously took out my hard saved money from my purse. Amongst a pile of coins, I found a penny. I went to the man, who was selling Tanghulu.

In the past, having so much money is impossible for me. Now I’m someone who can buy Tanghulu whenever I wanted. How ironic is life…….

While I was thinking, a man b.u.mped into me. I fell onto the ground. Lu Hai Kong panicked and holds my back: “Yun Xiang, does it hurt? Does it hurt?”

I shook my head and realized that my purse is gone.

I remembered the days in Heaven, where I bitterly need to save money. A “weng” sounded in my head. That’s my hard saved money! Want to steal it and steal it. That’s more detestable than the Chu Kong, who broke my fan.

“You…!” (She was actually swearing here)

I stood up, rolled up my sleeve and yelled: “Stealing money, I hope that you get constipation for life! Thief, don’t run!”

After I yelled, I chased after the thief. I didn’t care if Lu Hai Kong, who has shorter legs, can’t keep up with me.

The thief didn’t expect that a ten year old girl will dare to chase him. He has a guilty conscience and sped up his pace. There were many people on the market. The thief couldn’t get pa.s.s them so fast. I, with this small body, caught up with him. After going through reincarnation my power are gone. But I still have my fist. I can’t  go against someone with martial arts, but against a thief, my fist is enough.

The thief is a middle aged man. His body is bigger than mine. A quick beating will certainly not do. So when I was chasing him, I s.n.a.t.c.hed a rolling pin from one of the bread sellers. I took two steps back, looked down. I heard “dang”. The thief moaned “ying” and was on the ground, hands on his crotch.

I threw away the rolling pin and from his pocket, I got my purse back.

“Hmpf, you dare to steal my money? Have you prepared to die?”

I counted the money and found that there isn’t a penny missing. With a contented smile I said: “Lu Hai Kong, let’s go buy Tanghulu.”

I didn’t get a reply. I closed my left eye and saw that I was surrounded by strangers.

“Huh?”

I was dumbfounded. Lu Hai Kong, where are you?
