Chapter 35

Yin Yin did have a dream.

She dreamt of the small river in front of her childhood home. The river was flowing like a song that never stops.

She still remembered this river, called Muma (herd of horses) River. When she was a child, she was naughty and always didn’t listen to the teacher. Every time the teacher gets so angry, he will call them cows (slang for awesome). He will say, ‘the grass on the banks of the Muma River is gone, you have eaten them all!’

Thinking of this, Yin Yin couldn’t help chuckling. She walked to the river and squatted down. The clear river reflected the pink and tender face of a seven or eight years old girl.

Yin Yin touched her face in surprise and the little girl in the water also touched her face. She…… has changed back to what she looked like when she was seven or eight?

“Xin’er.” A low male voice rang in Yin Yin’s ears. She turned her head and saw her adoptive father’s face, which was kind but full with the vicissitudes of life. “Actually, your mother and I did not pick you up from the side of the road. You came to our house by yourself!”

Her adoptive father’s words were like a thunder which exploded into Yin Yin’s heart.

“I…… came here by myself?” Yin Yin’s voice was just like her appearance, with all the innocence and childishness that a seven or eight years old girl should have.

Her adoptive father looked down at the running river and murmured, “That day, when your mother and I came back from work outside, we suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying. We ran into the house in panic and saw you there lying on the ground. Your mother was in poor health and couldn’t be pregnant. At that time, we thought you were a gift from God. But our family is poor and can’t afford a baby. We actually wanted to give you to someone else, but when we picked you up, you stopped crying all at once. You just giggled at us and kept laughing with a soft and sticky-sweet voice. Your mother cried and refused to give you to others.”

Her adoptive father finally turned his head and looked at Yin Yin with unspeakable pain in his eyes. “We really didn’t want to leave you behind, but…… those years, in order to let you study, no matter how hard we work and how tired we are, we have gritted our teeth and persevered. But your mother’s health is getting worse and worse. I really can’t help it……”

Yin Yin wanted to tell him that she didn’t hate them at all, really. But she couldn’t say a word. She wanted to reach out her hand to smooth the knot on her adoptive father’s forehead, but the picture in front of her suddenly flickered like a bad TV signal, turning into a bunch of irregular squares. Yin Yin subconsciously blinked. It was just a blink of an eye, and she was already standing in front of the computer inside Ji Ting’s room.

On the computer screen is an empty folder with only one WORD document.

The name of the document made Yin Yin’s heart skip a beat.

The worldview setting of <<All for Prosperity>>?

What kind of worldview setting is there in a dog-blooded story like <<All for Prosperity>>? This is a bit too high-end and western styled, isn’t it?

Yin Yin stepped forward and clicked on the document.

There was nothing.

This is a blank document without a word in it. Yin Yin suddenly felt a little lost, and couldn’t help but laugh at herself in the next second. Otherwise, what would she like to see?

While she was waiting for herself to wake up from this inexplicable dream, the keyboard suddenly made a “tap, tap, tap” sound.

Yin Yin was sure that apart from her, there was no other living creature that could type on the keyboard in this room.

But the dead……

She couldn’t help but shudder. I’m not afraid, -not afraid. This is a dream, no matter how bizarre things happen, it is understandable.

The keyboard moved by itself. And with the sound of the tapping keyboard, a series of numbers appeared one after another on the document in front of her.

These seven numbers kept repeating, and Yin Yin felt that her eyes were almost turning into mosquito coils.

After repeating thirteen times in this way, the keyboard finally stopped, and the sound of tapping abruptly ceased.

Yin Yin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, when suddenly the keyboard was knocked again four times.

It’s just that this time it is no longer ‘1234’, but another string of numbers.

9527? Yin Yin stared at the four numbers on the screen, feeling that it brings a subtle sense of joy.

Where have she seen it?

She rubbed her temples with a bit of a headache. When she opened her eyes again, a ray of the morning sunlight came obliquely from the window.

It’s already dawn.

After having a nightmare all night, Yin Yin’s head was a little dizzy. She lay down for a while before she got up and began to wash.

Just what exactly are those numbers trying to tell her? Did she really just suddenly appeared at her foster parents’ house?

The amount of information in the dream was so large that she felt her brain capacity was completely insufficient.

Ling Long and Helian Kong were both at breakfast. At that time, Helian Kong was bargaining with Ling Long and refused to succumb to the power of rice and pickles. Ling Long ignored Helian Kong the whole time and only when he saw Yin Yin coming in did his expression change slightly. “Faintly, you’re up?”

“En.” Yin Yin sat down beside Ling Long. Soon someone served her a bowl of porridge and handed her some white steamed buns.

“Are your hands better?” Ling Long’s eyes stopped on Yin Yin’s hands.

“Much better. It’s really a miracle cure.” Yin Yin stretched out her palms to Ling Long. The wound on it had begun to scab.

“Oh, by the way, I want to visit Shili Courtyard today. I don’t know how well Luzhu’s injury is being treated.” Yin Yin took a sip of the porridge in the bowl and looked at Ling Long asking for approval.

Ling Long frowned slightly. That kind of thing happened yesterday. If he could, he hoped Yin Yin wouldn’t go anywhere, but he couldn’t just keep her inside the Spider Web. After thinking about it, he said, “Let Hongwei accompany you.”

“Oh.” Yin Yin just responded, and Hongwei with a whoosh appeared in front of her.

Yin Yin: “……”

Hongwei must be Ling Long’s summoned beast. (like in games)

Helian Kong desperately pointed at himself. “I want to go, I want to go too!”

Ling Long glanced at him lightly. “Second prince, you’d better stay at home.”

Helian Kong looked at Ling Long and drank the porridge in the bowl silently.

*******

The annual Lantern Festival in the capital is coming soon, and the streets have been particularly lively recently. Yin Yin looked at the happy small vendors on the street, looking forward to the legendary Lantern Festival.

While they were walking, Hongwei suddenly stopped. Yin Yin’s footsteps also paused. “What’s the matter?”

“Someone is following us.” Hongwei’s answer is simple and clear.

“Someone’s following us?” Yin Yin frowned. “Who is it?”

She thought about it, and a name she had forgotten for a long time suddenly struck her mind.

Mo Lingya!

Could it be that the Zhu family found out that Luzhu was not dead, so they deliberately sought out Mo Lingya?

The more Yin Yin thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She looked around vigilantly, feeling that Mo Lingya would emerge from any corner at any time.

“Looking for me?” A cold voice suddenly sounded above her head, and Mo Lingya flew out of nowhere.

Hongwei blocked Yin Yin behind him and looked at Mo Lingya expressionlessly.

Mo Lingya coldly hooked the corner of his mouth and said to Yin Yin, “Where is the little girl who killed Zhu Wuwen?”

“How should I know?” Although Yin Yin had a hard mouth, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the palm of her hands. What a bad timing! She always met this unlucky person no matter where she goes!

……

She didn’t know if Hongwei can beat him.

Mo Lingya threw Yin Yin a look. “Ling Long refuses to disclose this news so I have to ask you.”

“I really don’t know.” Yin Yin’s eyes were very sincere.

Mo Lingya smiled suddenly, making Yin Yin have goose bumps all over. “It doesn’t matter. As long as I catch you, Ling Long will naturally speak.”

F*ck it!! It’s really true that those who know shame are close to being brave, and those who know no shame are close to being extraordinarily brave!

When Mo Lingya and Hongwei were about to start exchanging moves, and the atmosphere was tense, a familiar voice broke the confrontation between the two.

“Mo Lingya, you really threw yourself into the net.” (to walk right into the trap)

Constable Xu with a group of Bailiffs patrolling the streets just arrived there and met the number one criminal on their blacklist.

Yin Yin’s eyes lit up when she saw Constable Xu. Policeman uncle, this is the guy! Yin Yin looked at them expectantly. A battle between justice and evil was about to begin!

Mo Lingya saw Constable Xu and smiled disdainfully. “Just by you, you want to catch me?”

Constable Xu said sternly, “No matter if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely find you. Until the seas run dry, the rocks crumble, and the world ends.”

Yin Yin: “……”

Why does she feel that something’s wrong?

Mo Lingya snorted coldly. “I’m afraid I won’t survive till that day.”

“Don’t say such discouraging words!” Constable Xu snapped. “You will definitely live until the day I arrest you!”

Yin Yin: “……”

She’s sure that something was wrong.

Mo Lingya had no intention to entangle with Constable Xu. He glanced at Yin Yin and said, “It seems that I have a bad start today. I will see you later.”

Please don’t. The ‘later’ you are talking about will last for a long period of time, right?

Mo Lingya turned around and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight. Constable Xu followed with a group of people, raising a lot of dust. Yin Yin stood in the cold wind and dust, looking messy.

At this time, she didn’t plan to see Luzhu anymore. It seemed that the fact that Luzhu was not dead had been exposed. If she went to Shili Courtyard now, it would only harm them.

Following Hongwei back to the Spider Web, she stayed in the room with nothing to do.

Seeing the little man Sang Ze gave her on the table, she boredly played with it in her hands.

This little man is really similar to the one in her dream. But why did she dream of this puppet? Is there anything special about it?

……

In addition to being particularly ugly, Yin Yin really couldn’t see anything special about it.

After thinking about the dream she had last night, Yin Yin’s head started to hurt again. She sighed and lay down in the bed.

Next time Ling Long goes out, he must bring her with him!

So boring ah. 😦

A few days later, Yin Yin was finally not bored. Because the annual Lantern Festival has begun!

However, if she knew so many things would happen next, Yin Yin would rather be so bored all the time, really.

Robbin: Has someone read through here? I want to ask your opinion, please.

I saw a review on Novelupdates that the translation is weird and that they could understand the direct MTL’ed version better. And so I wanted to ask if the way I construct my sentence is weird, or you can’t clearly understand what I’m trying to convey? Could you please tell me why so I can try to improve and change it? Many thanks!

Is it really weird? Or is it because I’m weird? Ah, I wanna know. (｡╯︵╰｡)
