C5 Comparative Sense of Superiority

Yeh Han gritted his teeth and ran into an abandoned temple. He laughed loudly and said, "Good luck, there's actually a temple here, and after the rain, there's no need to wash the lotus flowers. The heavens must know that I'm lazy, so they came to help me wash the lotus flowers." Laughing a few times, he pulled back the corners of his mouth and finally raised his hand to gently rub his face. He didn't want to smile anymore, it was really too tiring. In order to not let others see him in such a sorry state, he could only try his best to smile and pretend to be very lucky.

"Meow, meow, meow," a cat cry came from the corner and attracted his attention. Yeh Han swallowed his saliva and carefully walked inside. A female cat was lying on the ground covered in blood and her body had become stiff.

"Wow." Yeh Han was so shocked that he sat down on the floor.

"Meow, meow." Three kittens crawled out from behind the female cat. They rubbed against the female cat, obviously not knowing that they had already lost their mother forever.

"Little, little kitten?" Yeh Han tilted his head in confusion and said, "What are you guys doing here?" He crawled forward and comforted in a small voice, "Don't cry, don't cry. Brother is here." He took off his clothes and held them in his arms, warming them up with his body temperature. A feeling of empathy came from the bottom of his heart, and he smiled, "Little kitty, people say that comparison can make people feel superior, hehe, I seem to be more fortunate than you guys. Since that's the case, why should I feel sad? I'll take you guys on our way tomorrow."

"Take a look."

Just like that, he carried them in his arms and spent his first day at home, safe and sound in a corner.

The next morning, he carefully put on his dry clothes. Looking at the dead female cat on the ground, he blinked his eyes, picked up a branch from the side, and placed the sleeping kitten on a pile of hay. Then, he carried her into the woods outside the temple and dug a huge hole.

When he returned to the ruined temple, the kittens had woken up and were looking around for something to eat. With a sunny smile, he picked up the lotus flowers, wrapped them in the cloth, picked up the stones and beat them hard, then dripped the juice into their mouths.

After getting to the point, he found a broken bamboo basket and put some hay in it, one by one. Then he picked up the basket and walked further into the distance, Yeh Han happily thought, luckily the Heaven Destroyer, Solitary Star, is unable to deal with animals, hehe, because demons are small animals before they reincarnate, so, it's really fortunate, if I met a few little babies, then I really don't know where I should go to cry, maybe I'll enter the court again the next day.

After walking for a few days and nights like this, when they were tired, they would take a rest by the roadside. When they were thirsty, they would drink the spring water flowing from the mountain, and when they were hungry, they would eat the wild flowers or wild fruits by the roadside. Those kittens' lives were also tenacious; after a few days, not only did they not lose any weight, they even became fatter.

"I saw it, I saw it," Yeh Han hugged the bamboo basket excitedly: "Little Cat, we finally arrived, hahaha, great, we finally arrived!" He said excitedly: "I thought we still had a long way to go, great, we can finally change clothes and have a good meal."

"Miaomiao." The three kittens in the basket also cried out in excitement, as if they understood his language.

Yeh Han entered the town excitedly. The people inside avoided him with a look of disdain.

"Where did this little beggar come from? He asked for a meal and he came here today? Disgusting!" A woman covered her nose with a handkerchief and looked at him in disgust.

"I'm not a beggar," Yeh Han said loudly. "I'm here to buy something."

"You want to buy something? "Heh, that's funny. Do you have money?" The woman was embarrassed by her opponent's retort. She threw her handkerchief to the side and sarcastically said a few words before turning around and leaving in a disdainful manner.

"I have money," Yeh Han stood behind her and said loudly, "I'm not a beggar."

The two servants who had been entrusted by their father at night looked at their former second young master with a pained expression. One of them could not bear to continue, "Let's go out and help him."

"No," the other stopped him. "We've been waiting here for so many days, how could we have been exposed so quickly?"

"But …"

"There are no buts. Although you've let down the Second Young Master, think about your old mother. Do you have the heart to see her being implicated because of you?"

"This …" The man lowered his head, no longer speaking.

Yeh Han carried a bamboo basket into a cloth but was chased out by the boss inside. "Go go go, ugly beggar. Don't you know where this place is? If you dare to come again, I'll break your legs."

"I'm not a beggar," Yeh Han took out his purse. "I have money, I'm a guest."

The owner was stunned for a moment before a welcoming smile appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "This little one does not recognize Mt. Tai. Please do not bother with me."

"Hmph," Yeh Han snorted coldly and said in disdain, "Dog-eyed people look down on people."

The owner felt a burst of embarrassment, but still followed him with his doggy legs.
