Chapter 585: The Prodigal Was Being Rewarded by a Prodigal…Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Actually, this was how Hong Dali was normally like in his previous life.
Now that he reverted back to his original appearance, Hong Dali felt quite peculiar—this was really living life twice…
“Dali, what are you thinking of?” Tang Muxin softly asked and then hurriedly changed her words. “Ah, that"s wrong, I should address you as Dehua now.”
After putting up this disguise, the name that Hong Dali was using now was the name of his favorite artist from his previous life, Liu Dehua!
“Ah, nothing, I am just feeling a bit peculiar at my new ident.i.ty.” Hong Dali laughed and looked around. “Oh my, everywhere I went before, I would have a lot of people following me and attracting everyone"s attention. Now that suddenly there"s no one following me, I am indeed not very accustomed to this feeling yet.”
Actually, he was only just saying this. In fact, it was because he was thinking of his previous life. At that time, he was just a very simple person, all he need to consider was studying and then getting a job after he graduated.
He never thought that one brave deed that he did dazedly gave him a second life—when he was rescuing those two children, he really didn"t think too much, just that he didn"t bear to let those children be knocked to death…
In the end, he died, and then his soul actually transmigrated into a parallel world…
Thinking back now, that life already seemed like a long time ago!
Tang Muxin didn"t know what Hong Dali was thinking, it was instead quite happy for her. She softly said, “Dali, actually, this is quite nice too. Actually, sometimes money isn"t very important.”
“Ah, Xinxin.” Hong Dali smiled and looked at Tang Muxin. He asked, “You don"t dislike me now? I remember that you planned to break off on the engagement last time, right? Hehe.”
“Since when did I want that!” This rascal Hong Dali, he had to mention such a thing at such a romantic moment, were his nerves really made of cotton!? Tang Muxin couldn"t help but felt like kicking this rascal to death. But after thinking for a while, she still didn"t do so. “Whatever the case, who asked you to be a prodigal last time. All you thought about was how to squander, plus your body condition wasn"t very good too. Normal people would all dislike that, right?”
She wasn"t wrong. Probably no female in the entire world would be willing to be married to someone impotent.
“Huh? But I am still a prodigal now.” Hong Dali asked again, “Then, why do you still like me so much? But my body is alright now, hehe.” Saying so, he purposely raised his eyebrows.
“W-w-w-who likes you?” Tang Muxin instantly blushed and shook Hong Dali"s hand away. She angrily said, “Only a ghost would like you!”
Saying so, she turned her head away.
“Really?” Hong Dali looked at her expression. Yup, she didn"t seem to be really angry.
“Ptui.” Tang Muxin spat and planned on ignoring Hong Dali. Yet, she herself laughed first and said, “Speaking of which, I don"t really know. I just feel that although you are a prodigal, your moral quality is still not bad, and you know to show concern for others. Not like some stupid second-generation young masters who behave arrogantly as if everyone in the world owes them money and despise everyone.”
“Then, Xinxin.” Hong Dali asked again, “If one day I become penniless and worthless, would you still like me?”
“If that"s really the case.” Tang Muxin smiled till her eyes were shaped into a crescent moon and more beautiful than the moon in the sky. “I could only follow the man I marry. If you become a beggar, I could only become a beggar"s wife too, hehe.”
Hong Dali asked, “Really?”
Tang Muxin violently nodded. “Of course it"s real!”
“Hahaha!” After hearing this, Hong Dali suddenly laughed loudly, grabbed Tang Muxin"s hand and ran. “Since that"s the case, let"s go pretend to be beggars, hahaha!”
“Huh!?”
In a small alley.
“What… what do you want?” A beggar frantically retreated. “I, I, I don"t have any money! I really don"t have money!”
Hong Dali laughed and said, “Shout all you want. Even if you shout till your throat breaks, no one will save you…”
“You… what do you really want?” The beggar completely broke down. “I am really just a beggar, I really don"t have money… I have money, this is the 10 yuan and eight cents I received today. You can have it, just leave the eight cents for me to buy a bun…”
At this moment, Ling Xiaoyi walked up, coldly humped and said, “Take off your s.h.i.+rt! Quick! Why are you moving so slowly?”
Hearing Ling Xiaoyi speak, the beggar"s eyes actually lit up. He beamed with delight and said, “Oh my, such a pretty woman is actually so proactive…”
“b.u.mp! b.u.mp! b.u.mp!”
“Ah! Don"t hit my face…”
Five minutes later.
Hong Dali wore the beggar"s clothes and looked himself up and down. He laughed and said, “Haha, now things will be simple, no one will recognize me anymore. This is what I call being incognito, haha!”
Tang Muxin covered her nose. “This is so dirty, are we doing an incognito visit or pretending to be a beggar? Look at how smelly you are.”
“Huh?” Hong Dali felt strange and asked, “Didn"t you said that if I become a beggar, you will become my beggar"s wife?”
“Of course.” Tang Muxin twitched her lips. “But even so, I don"t want to wear other people"s clothes!” Saying so, this little la.s.s run out, bought two sets of normal clothes and then ran back. She pulled Hong Dali along and ran. “Quick, come with me. Sister Xiaoyi as well!”
The three of them ran towards an empty alley. After they were inside, Tang Muxin pulled Ling Xiaoyi along to go change clothes. Hong Dali felt strange and said, “Acting so mysterious, what"s she doing…”
Unexpectedly, he didn"t wait too long this time. Just a short while later, Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi came out. Yet Hong Dali was stunned when he saw them. “You guys are…” He was stoned for a while before laughing loudly. “You two are really small beggars now, hahaha!”
The current Tang Muxin wore a set of clothes that were obviously bought from a street stall. The sleeve was very dirty and ragged, her hair was full of dirt, and her originally white and clear face was greyish with dirt too. Even her chest was wrapped. No one could tell she was a pretty girl anymore.
Ling Xiaoyi was exactly the same. When the three of them stood together, other than the fact that Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi didn"t smell, they looked about the same as Hong Dali now. No one could recognize them now!
“Hehe, Dali, how is it?” Tang Muxin said in satisfaction, “This time, there shouldn"t be any problem with us pretending to be beggars, right?”
“No problem! Definitely no problem!” Hong Dali laughed loudly and said, “Lackeys, let"s go!”
Therefore, these three little beggars sneakily moved out towards He"an village.
However, the distance between He"an village and He"an town was about 20 miles apart. Getting there was a problem for them now.
Yet, just as they were fretting about this, something interesting happened.
A Young Master who was obviously from a wealthy family brought along two lackeys and walked near them. Upon seeing the three of them, he instantly stopped, turned around, gave a casual look at his lackey and said, “They are quite pitiful. Reward!”
Therefore, the two lackeys walked up and give each of them 50 yuan. “This is a tip from our Young Master An.”
“Use it to buy some food.” After the Young Master tipped them, he turned around and walked away. As he walked, he proudly said, “Oh my, if I don"t squander for a single day, I will feel uncomfortable all over!”
Hong Dali: “…”
Tang Muxin: “…”
Ling Xiaoyi: “…”
Seeing that they were walking away, Hong Dali loudly asked, “Hero, please wait. Hero, what your name?”
“Don"t need to thank me.” That Young Master chicly tossed his head. “I never leave my name when I do a good deed! Lackeys, let"s go!”
Saying so, they walked away into the distance.
Hong Dali: “…”
Tang Muxin: “…”
Ling Xiaoyi: “…”
After they couldn"t see the back view of that Young Master anymore, Tang Muxin sat down on her b.u.t.t, laughing and hitting the floor with her fist. She said, “Hahahaha, this is too funny, the world"s number one prodigal is being rewarded by a little prodigal, this is too funny, hahaha!”
Ling Xiaoyi was laughing nonstop as well. If news of what happened today got out, it would definitely make everyone"s jaws drop!
Hong Dali angrily stomped his feet. “This is too ridiculous! There are people who even want to s.n.a.t.c.h my profession!”
Although Hong Dali didn"t lack this little bit of money, this Young Master An instead reminded him—money could make anything happen. They shall take a taxi there!
Therefore, three little beggars stood beside the road trying to hail a taxi—
“Move move move, I have no money for you!”
“These years even beggars want to sit in taxis?”
“Are you guys planning to rob me? If you continue to waste my time, I am going to call the police!”
After trying for half an hour, they still didn"t manage to hail a taxi. Then, just as Hong Dali was about to ask Ling Xiaoyi to rob a car, a driver courageous enough finally stopped his car—it was no wonder that the driver was so brave, look at his 1.9 meters tall height and 100 plus KG built. It was only possible for him to rob others, there was definitely no reason for him to be robbed. “What"s wrong, you guys want to take a taxi? Where to?”
Hong Dali: “He"an village.”
Driver: “40 yuan. I won"t enter into the village. Also, pay up first.”
Hong Dali: “No problem!”
Therefore, the three of them got into the car.
The driver saw that the three of them weren"t large in size, so he could win against them if they fought, that"s why he let them on. Hong Dali knew that the driver definitely wouldn"t be able to win against Ling Xiaoyi, so nothing happened on the way there. After the three of them alighted, as the driver drove away, he mumbled, “Even beggars are so rich nowadays. I only earn about 50 yuan working for the entire day, but they paid 50 yuan for a 40 yuan trip and asked me to keep the change…”
As for Hong Dali"s side, after the three of them alighted, it was already past 9 PM. Most villagers would already be asleep by now, especially for a village that just suffered from an earthquake. Therefore, they didn"t see any lights in the entire village. Hong Dali looked around and saw a small stream nearby, and around the village was all mountains and forest. The path wasn"t easy to walk, and there was not a lot of people here compared to other villages.
“Young Master… Dehua, where shall we rest for the night?” Ling Xiaoyi looked around at the environment. “It isn"t appropriate for us to enter the village now. Why don"t we sleep for a night in the forest, I shall keep watch.”
“Yup, no rush about that, let"s prepare first.” Hong Dali closed his eyes and started using the heart-to-heart connection ability. Very quickly, he found a target—too wild dogs that were covered in dirt. Hong Dali smiled and said, “Yup, the two of you will do. Come here, w.a.n.g Cai and w.a.n.g Fu!”
Although Hong Dali seemed to be a very blunt person, he was actually not stupid. If he just entered the village like this, if something happened later, it wouldn"t be easy to settle. Also, it would be quite meaningless.
Therefore, he found two wild dogs and took out the specially prepared pin-hole cameras and tied it in the furs on the necks of the two dogs.
“Hehe, this should do.” Hong Dali clapped his hands in satisfaction. “OK, everything is ready now, we just have to wait for the show to start tomorrow! Let"s find a cleaner spot to sleep.”
Therefore, very quickly, all of the furred animals in the forest all gathered around. They used their body to form a wall of flesh—this time, Hong Dali wouldn"t need to be afraid that the wind would blow against his bottom and cause it to become cold…
