The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1200: Chapter 1200: Someone is Peeping (4)

”That’s 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 house...” Yang Ruxin sighed, ”If I had been any weaker, I guess by now the grass over my grave would be knee-high...” Now, when she occasionally thinks back to those first few months, it all feels like a dream to her, ”You also have no idea what this little girl has been through... Sick and near death from being beaten by her own mother. If it hadn’t been for my master, this child would have been reincarnated long ago...”

Yu Qingge sighed, ”That’s why I admire you. If it were me... I really don’t know what I would have become...”

”All these children were previously terrified by hunger and beatings. I protect them, so they don’t get hit, and I make sure they’re well-fed and warm. Naturally, they depend on me. A child’s heart is the purest. They are very sensitive about who treats them well...” Yang Ruxin felt very content.

”My lantern is drifting away...” Just then, Erya started clapping her hands and calling out, ”The River Goddess must have heard my words...”

”Mine is drifting away too...” Sini also shouted excitedly, ”I also wish for big sister to live a long life...”

”Oh dear, if you shout like that, you will scare the River Goddess.” Xiaofeng made a shushing gesture, ”You have to send your blessings silently in your heart...”

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.

”In the future, our lives will definitely get better and better,” said someone from the Feng Family, clapping her hands, ”Just look at how bright the river lanterns are...”

”Indeed, life will get better and better,” 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.

”What’s wrong?” Gu Qingheng stepped closer.

”Since we left the city, I’ve felt that someone has been spying on us...” Yang Ruxin frowned slightly. If she hadn’t sensed that the other party’s ill-intent wasn’t significant, she wouldn’t have waited until now to say something. But being watched from the shadows was really irksome.

Gu Qingheng’s 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 Qingheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and it really was someone who didn’t require much attention, none other than Dong Hongmei.

Dong Hongmei had been leading a decent life lately, at least she didn’t 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 Guanyin...
