The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Shu Wanwan was free that day, and the variety show announcement she had been discussing with Jiang Jingchen was two weeks away. Shu Wanwan thought there was nothing else to do. It happened to be market day in the nearby small county town, so Shu Wanwan took Bai Xuan and drove to the small county town to attend the market.

The so-called "Ganji" (market day), also known as "Ganchang" (market day), is a traditional market trading activity in rural China. It is usually held on fixed dates in the lunar calendar, such as the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month, the fifth day of each lunar month, and the tenth day of each lunar month. Today, the market is also an important venue for people to exchange goods, exchange culture, and connect with each other.

Shu Wanwan brought Bai Xuan to the market, and he was astonished. He had never seen such a bustling scene before. There were stalls set up, and some on the ground, with agricultural products, handicrafts, and even chickens, ducks, and geese in cages. Bai Xuan's interest piqued, and he quickly walked over to a stall selling pets and started chatting with a kitten in a voice inaudible to ordinary people.

"Meow meow meow~"

"Meow meow meow~"

The kittens were talking to each other, as if they were talking about something important.

Shu Wanwan went shopping on her own. The market was filled with a wide variety of goods, including agricultural products, handicrafts, furniture, home appliances, and clothing. There were also various snack stalls at the market. Suddenly, he saw a performance troupe singing and dancing over there, surrounded by quite a few people.

"It's still a little less interesting than the previous markets." Shu Wanwan walked around and thought to herself, with several more small bags in her hands. Although the market she was in was already the largest in the vicinity, people now have more ways to shop, so the current markets are naturally not as prosperous as they were thousands of years ago when there was only one way of shopping.

Shu Wanwan snapped her fingers lightly, and soon Bai Xuan came trotting over with a bag of melon seeds, "What's the matter? Why did you call me back? I'm eating melon!" Bai Xuan was a little reluctant. Of all the things in the world, eating melon is the most important thing.

Shu Wanwan looked at Bai Xuan and became interested. She handed the snack to Bai Xuan and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the bag. "What kind of melon is it?"

"There is a kitten who said that her mother is the most beautiful calico cat in the world, and her father is the tabby cat, the most popular stray cat in the village. She has a good bloodline and will surely be both beautiful and powerful in the future." Bai Xuan followed Shu Wanwan while eating snacks, sharing the gossip he heard in a cheerful tone.

"That's it?" Shu Wanwan raised her eyebrows. Is this gossip?

"You don't know that the person who said this was a little orange cat." Bai Xuan added.

Shu Wanwan: “…”

"There was also a little cow cat who said that its uncle was buried two days ago. In fact, its uncle was not dead at all. He crawled out of the pile of dirt in the middle of the night." Bai Xuan continued.

"Ah? Why?" Shu Wanwan also became a little interested.

"Because the owner of his uncle's house only fed him cat food, his uncle wanted to catch mice, but was afraid that his owner would be sad if he ran away from home, so he just pretended to be dead. Now that he has crawled out, he has become the king of the mountain. There are no mice on that mountain anymore." Bai Xuan explained.

"Are you afraid of getting lost and being sad? So you just pretend to be dead?" Shu Wanwan was puzzled. This was indeed the way a cow cat thinks, and it seemed like something a cow cat would do.

"That's right. A short pain is worse than a long one!? Just kill its owner's hope in the cradle!" Bai Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Huh? Do all you cats think so?"

"Not really. Some cats, when they are really about to die, will sneak out of the house and die secretly in a place where their owners can't see them. That way, their owners will never know they are dead." Bai Xuan said as he wiped his mouth and put the uneaten food back into the bag, his eyes a little dim.

"It's okay, you're already dead." Shu Wanwan turned around and touched Bai Xuan's head.

Bai Xuan immediately brightened up, his face full of disgust, "Are you saying words to comfort a cat?!"

Then they both laughed.

"By the way, I remembered one thing. It's a bit strange." Bai Xuan put away his smile and looked a little serious.

"What's wrong?" Shu Wanwan also put away her smile and looked puzzled.

"I heard a little calico say that her great-grandmother used to keep her in one family, but the family that followed disappeared mysteriously." Bai Xuan said to Shu Wanwan.

"Is there such a thing? Can we still find that little Sanhua?

"Shu Wanwan touched her chin and raised her eyebrows. Could it be that there was some supernatural event?

"Sure." Then Bai Xuan took Shu Wanwan to find the pet stall.

"That's it." Bai Xuan looked at a small three-flowered cat and pointed with the tip of his chin. "Does its great-grandmother count?"

"Yeah. Animals' lives are generally not as complicated and unpredictable as humans'. Since they are related, we should be able to calculate it." Shu Wanwan lightly tapped Xiao Sanhua's head with her fingertips.

Not long after, Shu Wanwan opened her eyes and said to Bai Xuan, "Let's go."

"What's wrong? Are we going to catch ghosts now?" Bai Xuan followed Shu Wanwan.

"It was man-made. An entire family was wiped out and the murderer is dead. There are no ghosts or dead souls." Shu Wanwan shook her head.

"Ah?" Bai Xuan was puzzled.

Shu Wanwan looked unhappy and did not continue speaking.

Seeing that Shu Wanwan's expression was not right, Bai Xuan stopped asking questions and changed the subject. "So where are we going now?"

After a while, Shu Wanwan said, "We're out of peach wood. Let's go buy some more." Recently, Shu Wanwan has been really free since she was no longer harassed by Gu Yanchuan's talisman drawing. When she is free, she carves peach wood at home. She carved a carved building for Dai Yan. The layout of the carved building is very delicate. From the door to the bricks and tiles, Shu Wanwan carved them out of the peach wood bit by bit with a carving knife. Although it is just a model and not big in size, it has all the necessary parts. The wood that Shu Wanwan bought before has been used up long ago, and she has not finished carving the furniture in the carved building.

When it comes to peach wood, Bai Xuan pouted again, "You are so kind to Sister Dai Yan, but I haven't seen you carve a cat bed for me."

Shu Wanwan knocked Bai Xuan on the head. "You ungrateful bastard? Did you pick up these clothes?"

Although Bai Xuan said so, he knew that he didn't need those. Shu Wanwan made a physical body for him, so he could move around freely now. He didn't really want a cat bed. But Shu Wanwan was really good to Dai Yan, and he was a little jealous of her.

This is also true. Ever since Dai Yan said that the building in her mirror was destroyed by evil spirits, Shu Wanwan began to carve for Dai Yan. The carved building was extremely complicated. Shu Wanwan carved for a long time and spent a lot of effort. She also made a miniature version of the bead curtain. Every detail was very vivid. She really cared about it, because Dai Yan and Bai Xuan were different. Bai Xuan was at most staying overnight in Shu Wanwan's house, but Dai Yan was not like that. If Shu Wanwan had any accident, the Soul-Locking Mirror might still be there, but Dai Yan would disappear with Shu Wanwan.

How could Dai Yan not know about this? It was obvious that she had fallen into a deep sleep before because she did not want to recognize her master, which was why she was persecuted to this point. However, even so, Dai Yan lightly signed a contract with Shu Wanwan, which was equivalent to Dai Yan handing her life over to Shu Wanwan. For Dai Yan, Shu Wanwan was her home, so even though she knew that Dai Yan might be thousands of years older than her, she still did her best to make arrangements for Dai Yan.
