Killer Reincarnation
Chapter 3. Marketplaces
Lien Hua woke up from her deep sleep, she woke up and looked around but found Black nowhere. Lien Hua rubbed his eyes slowly and sighed.
'It looks like yesterday was a dream.' Lien Hua stood up, she clasped his painful hand.
'So it wasn't a dream? I did find Black, but where is he now? did Xia He take her away?' Lien Hua rushed out of her room without changing the pajamas she used, she walked quickly to Xia He's room and knocked on the door loudly.
“Xia He! are you inside?”
not long after Lien Hua's shout, Xia He's room door opened. “Oh, Miss Lien Hua. What's up?”
“Xia, where's black??”
“Black?” confused Xia He.
“That black cat! you didn't take him away, did you?”
“Nona, I don't know where Black is. Didn't he sleep with Miss yesterday?”
Lien Hua biting her nails in panic. 'Wait 'wait! Lilia, since when do you care about anyone? although Black is a cat, you shouldn't make it your weakness!' Lien Hua covered her face with one hand.
'Shit! this is why I hate feelings, Lien Hua, you shouldn't give me these annoying feelings!'
Lien Hua closed her eyes for a moment, she then looked at Xia He now with a calm gaze.
“Do I need to look for it, Miss?” xia He asked, Lien Hua shook her head.
“No need, forget what I said earlier.” Lien Hua stepped away and left a huge question mark on Xia He's head.
'Miss really why? she had been very strange ever since Miss Li Yao and Miss Li Mei drowned her in the holy river.'
...----------------...
“Xia, what should I do today?” asked Lien Hua while slicing the steak.
“Nona, you don't need to do anything. You will just relax today.”
“Stay? then, accompany me to the market later, I want to buy some goods and also food for Bla-” Lien Hua fell silent, she went back to eating her steak without continuing her words.
“Nona, can I ask you one thing?” xia He asked and made Lien Hua slightly look up at him.
“Hem..just ask.”
“What.. You all right? You look different since being drowned by Miss Li Yao and also Miss Li Mei.”
Lien Hua put down the fork on the table and looked at Xia He calmly as if he did not have any burden. “Emm. Maybe because I was about to die, or maybe because I was drowned in the holy river and made my personality different.”
“So yes,” Xia He muttered while looking down. “What's up, Xia He? do you doubt I'm not Lien Hua?”
Xia He immediately shook his head. “Not that Miss, it's just that I feel sad when I see you are always bullied by Miss Li Mei and Miss Li Yao, I hope.. You can take care of yourself, Miss. I don't want you to get hurt again,” great-grandson Xia He, Lien Hua sighed softly.he flicked his hand hinting for Xia He to come closer.
with a puzzled face, Xia He walked towards Lien Hua and stood beside her. Lien Hua stood up and rubbed Xia He's head. ”Calm down, Xia He. I'll be fine this time.”
“But Miss, I remain afraid the two will try to hurt you again.”
'Xia He is quite good, but there is no way I can trust him right away. It could be that he was pretending to be a spy for those two spoiled Misses!'
“If you're afraid I'm hurt, come with me. We'll leave the minister's residence.”
lien Hua's words just now made the lowered Xia He look at her directly. “What do you mean Miss?”
“Yes, actually I plan to run away from home. That's why I invited you, maybe I will bring Black too,” Lien Hua said as she scratched her cheek with her little finger, Xia He smiled and clasped Lien Hua's hands together.
“Nona, I will definitely continue to be loyal and follow you wherever you go!”
...----------------...
“Nona, you want to buy anything?” xia He asked as he continued to follow Lien Hua who had just been walking around inside the market while looking around.
“Once, nothing interested me.”
Xia He let out a sigh of resignation, he continued to follow Lien Hua until he reached in front of a street vendor.
Lien Hua crouched down and looked at the accessories the old granny was selling.
“Does anyone concern you, Miss?”
“Emm.. what is the price of this necklace?” asked Lien Hua to pick up a necklace with a crystal-shaped pendant.
“Ohh, the necklace only cost 5 silver coins. Miss.”
“That's cheap? but this necklace looks quite beautiful and expensive.” Lien Hua stared fixedly at the necklace she had in hand, The granny smiled faintly.
“The actual price is only three silver coins, Miss. But for the sake of profit, I sold him 5 silver coins.”
“What is so cheap?” Lien Hua turned towards the old Grandma who nodded slowly.
“Iya, Miss.”
“Emm.” Lien Hua tapped her chin thinking, she turned her head towards Xia He who was still standing beside her.
“Do you not want to buy something?”
“S-me? what can?”
“Buy what you want, I'll pay for it.”
Xia He smiled happily, he crouched down beside Lien Hua and picked up a star-shaped hairpin. “I just want this, Miss.”
“Only one? don't want another one?” lien Hua asked, she picked a necklace and a bracelet and gave it to Lien Hua.
“How much is everything?” Lien Hua turned to look at the old Grandma who had been watching him.
“The price is only 50 silver coins, Miss.”
“50 silver coins?” muttered Lien Hua, he reached into the pocket of his robe and gave the Grandma 10 gold coins.
“Come, Xia!” Lien Hua stood up and directly pulled Xia He's hand away.
“May the Goddess bless you, Miss Li Lien Hua,” said the Grandmother slowly, she continued to pay attention to Lien Hua and the already distant Xia He.
...----------------...
“Nona, what's wrong? you look weird in front of that old Grandma.” Xia He looked at Lien Hua who was just silent.
“Nothing, I just feel familiar with that Grandma.it's as if I've met her.”
“Grandma?” Xia He turned his head back but found no one else, The old grandmother had disappeared.as well as the sale, everything was empty as if there was no one there.
Lien Hua who heard Xia He mutter turned her head back and frowned. “Granny is where?”
“Nona, instead of the grandmother sitting there.” point Xia He at the old grandmother's place earlier, Lien Hua nodded.
'Really, where's the old grandma? if I look wrong, it is impossible that all the things I bought really exist.' Lien Hua opened the bag of crackles she was carrying, all the accessories bought from the old grandmother were still there.
