Chapter 191: Encountering this Ancestor again (Thanks to the warm morning light for voting for more updates)

Carrying Xiaobai, Xiaosuisui, who was walking back from memory, suddenly sneezed.

Strange, why does my nose feel itchy all of a sudden?

She rubbed her nose and continued walking. Looking up, she saw her Third Uncle’s Bright Moon Pavilion right in front, with quite a crowd gathered at the entrance.

The curious little girl craned her neck to get a better look. Before she could make out what was happening, she heard a familiar voice shouting, "Stop, you thief! Don’t let me catch you! Stop!"

Is the pretty sister catching a thief?

Hearing Xie Pan’Er shouting about catching a thief, the little girl’s eyes lit up, and she took off after a person who was running very fast.

The person running so fast was Zhao Fei, a beggar from the City God Temple. In the temple lived his old mother, who had been blind for many years, and his sister, who was burning with a high fever. His sister was injured and had a high fever. He carried her everywhere seeking medical help, but no Medical Clinic was willing to treat her. Even when he offered copper coins, begging for some fever-reducing medicine, the pharmacy apprentices considered them too dirty and drove them away with sticks.

Desperate, he left his sister and mother at the City God Temple for safekeeping and ran to the entrance of the most famous Ping’an Pharmacy to wait. Eventually, a young woman laden with bags entered the Pharmacy. She seemed to know the staff well, as the apprentice dispensing medicine greeted her, "Third Miss Xie, you’re here!"

"Yes, the usual," Xie Pan’Er replied. "Please prepare two doses of medicine for dispelling wind-cold for me to take back. I’m getting it for my mother."

Xie Pan’Er’s mother had always been in poor health due to the torment she suffered from the First Madam, who managed the household’s internal affairs. Whenever the weather changed even slightly, she would catch a cold. Therefore, Xie Pan’Er always kept a stock of medicine for treating colds for her. The pharmacy apprentice was quite efficient and quickly handed the medicine to Xie Pan’Er.

She left the Pharmacy carrying the medicine and a thank-you gift from the old shopkeeper of Zhiwei Restaurant. Suddenly, her vision blurred as someone bumped into her, and the medicine in her hand was gone. Xie Pan’Er reacted quickly, took off in pursuit, and shouted, "Stop, thief!" as she ran.

Zhao Fei ran all the way to West City. He only paused to catch his breath when he could no longer see his pursuers. Then, he raced towards the City God Temple as fast as he could; his sister’s life was at stake.

Upon reaching his destination, Zhao Fei’s face lit up with joy.

Finally here! Good thing I ran fast, or that girl would have snatched the medicine back.

Suddenly, a childish yet stern voice came from above his head. "Big Brother! It’s not right to steal other people’s things!"

Startled by the sound, Zhao Fei looked up at the roof of the City God Temple. To his relief, he saw it was just a child with a veil covering her face, holding a white rabbit in her arms.

But this child... how did she climb onto the roof of the City God Temple? And how did she know he had stolen something?

"Who... who are you?" Zhao Fei asked. "Why did you climb onto the roof?"

"Ah! I didn’t climb up! I’m Feifei, and I flew up!" Suisui chirped. "Big Brother, you run so fast! Suisui couldn’t outrun you; I had to fly to keep up!"

Fly? What nonsense is this? Don’t tell me you can actually fly, you little brat! Strange things happen every year, but this year seems to have an abundance of them. A three or four-year-old child claiming to have flown onto the roof of the City God Temple? Who would believe such a thing?

"I’m not a ’little brat’!" Suisui declared. "I have a name. It’s Suisui!"

My... heavens... How did I run into this little ancestor again?

Xie Pan’Er, who had arrived in pursuit of the thief, was completely baffled, instantly feeling a surge of desire to die.
