1200: Chapter 1200: Someone is Peeping (4) 1200: Chapter 1200: Someone is Peeping (4) âThatâs because you never saw the sorry state I was in when I first arrived, let alone the desperate struggle I had with that group of vampires.
It was truly a battle all the way from the old Yang Family houseâŠâ Yang Ruxin sighed, âIf I had been any weaker, I guess by now the grass over my grave would be knee-highâŠâ Now, when she occasionally thinks back to those first few months, it all feels like a dream to her, âYou also have no idea what this little girl has been through⊠Sick and near death from being beaten by her own mother.
If it hadnât been for my master, this child would have been reincarnated long agoâŠâ
Yu Qingge sighed, âThatâs why I admire you.
If it were me⊠I really donât know what I would have becomeâŠâ
âAll these children were previously terrified by hunger and beatings.
I protect them, so they donât get hit, and I make sure theyâre well-fed and warm.
Naturally, they depend on me.
A childâs heart is the purest.
They are very sensitive about who treats them wellâŠâ Yang Ruxin felt very content.
âMy lantern is drifting awayâŠâ Just then, Erya started clapping her hands and calling out, âThe River Goddess must have heard my wordsâŠâ
âMine is drifting away tooâŠâ Sini also shouted excitedly, âI also wish for big sister to live a long lifeâŠâ
âOh dear, if you shout like that, you will scare the River Goddess.â Xiaofeng made a shushing gesture, âYou have to send your blessings silently in your heartâŠâ
The two little girls quickly covered their mouths with their hands and then whispered their wishes to each other, both hoping for their big sister to live a long life.
They were just too adorable.
The wishes of the others were also for their families to be safe and sound, for enough food and clothing.
Watching the river lanterns drift away, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps feeling secure in their hearts, everyone was beaming with joy.
âIn the future, our lives will definitely get better and better,â said someone from the Feng Family, clapping her hands, âJust look at how bright the river lanterns areâŠâ
âIndeed, life will get better and better,â agreed Yuan Mengzhu with a nod.
Though Dong Wenxiu said nothing, her face was also adorned with a radiant smile.
When the river lanterns were no longer visible, and the moon was high in the sky, everyone began to make their way back home.
However, after a few steps, Yang Ruxin suddenly turned back to scan the crowd.
âWhatâs wrong?â Gu Qingheng stepped closer.
âSince we left the city, Iâve felt that someone has been spying on usâŠâ Yang Ruxin frowned slightly.
If she hadnât sensed that the other partyâs ill-intent wasnât significant, she wouldnât have waited until now to say something.
But being watched from the shadows was really irksome.
Gu Qinghengâs face immediately darkened, just as he was about to raise his hand, he was stopped by Yang Ruxin, who then gestured with her lips towards a large tree not far away.
Gu Qinghengâs eyes narrowed slightly, and it really was someone who didnât require much attention, none other than Dong Hongmei.
Dong Hongmei had been leading a decent life lately, at least she didnât lack food or drink.
However, the man she was with had a family, and to him, she was nothing more than a fling when he had some free time.
On a festival day like this, of course, he would be at home with his wife, and she, alone and forsaken, could only come here to release a river lantern.
She had just left the city gate when she spotted Yang Ruxin, and naturally recognized Erya at a glance.
The little girl had grown taller, her face fairer and more rosy-cheeked.
Dressed in a bright red jacket and skirt, she looked just like a celestial maiden sitting at the foot of GuanyinâŠ
