Chapter 629: Jia Li
“Stop! Rascal, stop!”
As Lu Sheng was walking in front, she stumbled when the small figure knocked into her.
Thankfully, Chu Sihan was quick and pulled her into his arms to prevent her from falling.
She had just stood up when the small figure was grabbed by a few men chasing after him.
“Let go of me! Let go!”
Lu Sheng took a closer look and realized that the person who knocked into her was a twelve-year-old boy.
He was hugging two steamed buns and his collar was being tugged by two burly men.
“Rascal, how dare you snatch food without paying? Where are the adults in your family?”
A bald man caught up to him, panting. He placed his hands on his knees and glared at the boy.
Lu Sheng took a look and was about to ask about the situation when the Nurturing Talisman suddenly moved.
She took out the Nurturing Talisman suspiciously and suddenly heard Jia Zheng say, “Master, quickly release me!”
Lu Sheng released him suspiciously. The moment Jia Zheng landed, he scooped the struggling boy over.
The boy suddenly looked up and was stunned when he saw Jia Zheng. He frowned and asked, “Who are you?”
“Yes, who are you?” the bald man asked.
Jia Zheng did not reply them. Instead, he asked the bald man, “How much does he owe you?”
The bald man’s eyes darted around and he raised his chin. “Three hundred yuan.”
The boy was unhappy when he heard that. “How can they cost so much? It’s just three buns!”
The bald man snorted coldly. “I don’t care. If I say it’s three hundred yuan, it’s three hundred yuan.”
“Here.”
Jia Zheng took out three hundred yuan of hell banknotes and stuffed them into the bald man’s arms.
After getting the money, the bald man did not stay any longer and left with his men.
“Who are you?”
The boy took two steps back and asked Jia Zheng again.
“Is your surname Jia? Are you Jia Li?” Jia Zheng asked.
“How did you know?” The boy scratched his head and looked at him suspiciously.
Jia Zheng sighed softly. “I’m Jia Zheng.”
“Jia Zheng?” The boy was stunned for a moment before suddenly glaring. “You’re Jia Zheng?!”
He sized up Jia Zheng for a while and said in surprise, “You’ve grown so big?”
“What happened?”
Lu Sheng tapped Jia Zheng’s shoulder and asked curiously.
Jia Zheng explained, “This is my elder brother. He drowned to death when he was twelve. I remember him, but he doesn’t remember me.”
“Humans?”
Jia Li glanced at Lu Sheng and mumbled, “How can they be here?”
“Brother, haven’t our parents burned anything for you all these years? Why did you steal other people’s food?”
Jia Zheng looked at Jia Li, who was wearing ragged clothes and carrying two buns in his arms. He frowned and asked.
Jia Li sighed softly and pouted. “Burn what? Father and Mother have long been reborn.”
Jia Zheng was stunned before realizing that it had been a hundred years since his accident.
“Father and Mother have reincarnated. Why are you still here?” Jia Zheng asked.
Jia Li shrugged and said disapprovingly, “Someone cut my queue.”
“What?” Jia Zheng frowned. “Doesn’t the Netherworld care about these?”
“Hah.”
Jia Li sneered. “I stayed behind voluntarily. That person bought my position and gave me a large sum of money. However, the money was stolen.”
Jia Zheng said, “…You have no relatives here. Why did you stay?”
“I think this place is quite fun. I thought that I could lead a good life with money. Who knew that the money would be stolen the moment I got it?”
When he thought of the money, Jia Li’s heart ached.
In the past, someone would burn money for him when his parents were around.
Now that the two elders had reincarnated, he no longer received any money.
