Your Highness Yh Chapter 74 (2/2)
Lin Shan: “…..”
It turned out that Xiao Lu wasn’t speaking gibberish. After pa.s.sing by many alleys, they finally arrived at a small alley where they found a nearly eighty years old granny that lived by herself. The old lady had not seen Xiao Lu for years and was extremely emotional. She had tears running down her face as she embraced Xiao Lu. She refused to let go regardless of what was being said: “Cui Hua, your Great Aunt misses you so much. How did you become so thin? Don’t worry, I will find a physician for you!”
It turned out that Xiao Lu’s original name was Cui Hua. Lin Shan was surprised. At this moment, the old lady had already returned with a physician. The physician took Xiao Lu’s pulse and said that her fever was not too severe. However, Xiao Lu’s body was weak. Therefore, they would have to take extra care in order to ensure she heals properly.
The physician’s words caused Lin Shan to breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, she realized that Xiao Lu was only an ordinary girl. If Xiao Lu were to run around with her, it will be very hard on her health.
After pondering for a day, Lin Shan decided to make a huge decision before Xiao Lu woke up. Honestly, deep down, she wasn’t sure whether she would be able to find Lian Feng. Under the circ.u.mstances, she shouldn’t drag down anyone else with her. Not to mention, Xiao Lu was one of the closest people to her. Thus, she decided to leave on her own.
Lin Shan decided to secretly leave in the middle of the night. Before she left, she placed the remaining bit of money she had on her as well as the Heaven stone for Xiao Lu and her Great Aunt. She knew what she gave was nothing, but at this moment, it was all she had.
After exiting the alleys, Lin Shan looked up at the starry sky. Underneath the low constructions around her, she suddenly felt like the sky was wider, the moon was bigger, and the stars were prettier. At that moment, she had an urge to recite poetry from her head:
“The cool wind is excited.The autumn moon has no boundaries.Causes me to miss my man.A day feels like years.Although my beautymay not hide the moon and shame the flowers,nor captivate the birds and beasts,but I,I have a big heartand I,experience joy and sorrow with my man!”
According to the golden scientific laws of going back in time, at this moment, usually the protagonist would meet a beauty after reciting a poem. Although Lin Shan wasn’t in the mood to think of love, she couldn’t help but turn extremely curious. She wanted to know whether the golden scientific law was true. Thus, after reciting her poem, she carefully looked around her surroundings.
Who knew if it was a coincidence or the golden law taking effect, after looking around, Lin Shan actually noticed a shadow approaching her.
It was a man that walked like the wind. He was wearing a bamboo hat as he glided in his worn out clothes. He had a smoking pipe in one hand; he drew out the smoke, but blew out loneliness. (Lin Shan is just being super dramatic right now)
Lin Shan kept looking. Slowly, she realized the man looked very familiar. When he got closer, the person suddenly reacted as if he saw a ghost and turned and ran the other direction.
It was then Lin Shan realized, s.h.i.+t! It’s the old man that stole our stuff!
At that moment, she felt the adrenaline running through her body. She loudly hollered: “Stop!” Then, she ran after him. She ran after him like Ultraman running after a monster. Her potential was fully aroused.
Lin Shan chased the old man through the busy streets. She chased him for two full streets. Finally, she caught him.
The old man couldn’t outrun her. He was out of breath as he begged for mercy: “I’m wrong. I’m wrong…. please big boss, let me go ah…..”
Obviously, Lin Shan wouldn’t let him go so easily. She grabbed onto his collar and demanded: “Where is my money?”
“Gone ah……”
“What are you talking about? I had so much money. How can it all be gone? Tell me now or I’m going to bring you to the court!”
The old man nearly fell down when he heard the word “court”. He cried as his snots and tears rolled down: “It’s true. Gone ah… money is there ah! There!”
Lin Shan looked at where the old man was pointing. She finally understood why the old man was still a scammer in his late seventies or early eighties. He was a gambler!
In front of her, she saw the word “casino”. The money she took so long to rack in had floated away like the cloud.
