Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 13

The wheels of the carriage were turning. I looked at the man in purple sitting across from me, whose eyes were closed. Then I grabbed onto the wood fence and shouted to the two people in front of the carriage: “Hey! Stomach ache, urgent.”

“You sure have many things, brat!”

One stopped the carriage while the other jumped off of it. He opened the door and dragged me out.

“Hurry.”

He pointed at the bushes on the roadside and said: “After you’ve resolved your business, come out.”

The man was holding the other end of the rope wrapped around my body. I looked around. There was no other way: I had to squat on the grass to resolve my business.

The man sitting on the carriage was cursing. He said that they should’ve just left me on the mountain to survive on my own. Bringing me along was too much trouble. Besides selling me, I wouldn’t bring them much money.

The other one said with a laugh: “This is still a success. Although the thousand-year-old ginseng ran away, we’ve caught something better. Well, this woman...if we can’t sell her, we can still bring her back for our own pleasure. The two of them are idiots. They can’t do anything serious. Just bear with it for a few days.”

I rubbed my empty stomach. I missed Shifu even more now. Yes, I was kidnapped. This situation began three days ago, when I left Shifu. Originally, I was planning to go to Shengling Sect and stay there for two days. Then I would bring back food and continue to massage Shifu’s legs and shoulders. But the improperly dressed me, I had met two brawny men on the hillside. It was the two men in front of me. They were carrying an unconscious man in purple, the man that was now asleep in the carriage.

The two brawny men are now discussing where they should go to eat and drink. With good intentions, I said: “The food at Shengling Sect is really delicious.”

The two men stared at me for a long time. Suddenly, one of them raised his hands against me. I didn’t win the fight, so I was forced into the carriage again.

We were on the road for three days. The man in purple slept for three days. I missed Shifu for three days.

I didn’t remember ever leaving Shifu for so long. Although Shifu liked to order me to do things that I didn’t like, like doing the laundry, making his bed, and massaging his legs and shoulders...and he also liked to make fun of me to pass the time...but Shifu was always there when I was sick. Whenever I woke up from a nightmare, Shifu was also there. Whenever I was being bullied, Shifu would bully that person back. I scratched my head and thought that compared to ginseng soup or stewing mushrooms with chicken, the look Shifu had when he rubbed my head and said “Xiao Xiang Zi, good,” was more delicious. I really wanted to go back to Shifu, ah…but now how do I go back to Shifu…

The carriage seemed to have hit a stone. I was thrown to the other side of the carriage. The man in purple opposite to me was also fiercely thrown to the other side. His breathing became ragged. I lifted my head and saw that his eyes had opened a little.

“Ah, you’ve woken up.”

Because of my shouting, the two men driving the carriage turned to look at us. They stared alertly at the man in purple before they continue to drive. I understood. The man in purple’s hands and feet were chained. His face was pale and his breathing was weak. He looked like someone who was about to die. The two men had nothing to worry about.

The man moved his hands and feet. The chain caused a ringing sound. He seemed to be aware of the situation he was in now, body stiffening. Then he raised his head to look at his surroundings. His eyes stared at the backs of the two big men for a while before he turned to look at me.
