The Heiress Strikes Back

“You’re all good people. Good people will have a safe life. I want to give you something.” The old man took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Sharon.

Sharon took the small yellow book. It wasn’t big, about the size of a palm. She flipped through it and knew that this small book was a booklet to promote the Buddhist Dharma.

“These are all good things to persuade people to reflect and be kind. I’ll give them to you and wish you good people a peaceful life from now on.”

“Thank you, Uncle. I’ll keep it well.” Sharon placed the booklet in her bag, planning to treasure it well.

“The first thing in this booklet is to be filial to your parents, your in-laws, and the elders of both families…” The old man talked non-stop when he mentioned Buddhism and admonished people to be kind.

Sharon listened to the old man talk non-stop. The old man believed in Buddhism. His sincerity, simplicity, and kindness made Sharon feel that it was a wonderful fate to meet this kind old man here.

“By the way, if you don’t believe in Buddhism, don’t destroy this pamphlet,” the old man reminded them. Then he said piously, “It’s sinful to destroy this thing. If you don’t want it anymore, you can give it to other people with Buddhist affinity.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely treasure this booklet,” Sharon said.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Wallace and Sharon prepared to meet the other guests in the square in front of the pagoda.

Sharon saw Hazel and Zahn in the square from afar.

“Sister Hazel.” Sharon greeted Hazel. “You’re early.”

“We just arrived, but the two of us are the fastest. The rest have yet to arrive,” Hazel said.

“Let’s go to the pagoda to take photos first. I told them on WeChat that when they arrive, they’ll look for us directly at the pagoda.” When Zahn saw Wallace and the other two arrive, he planned for them to go to the pagoda first.

The pagoda was very close to the square. It didn’t take long to reach it.

In order to protect this thousand-year-old pagoda, the pagoda was surrounded by railings. However, the closer they were to the pagoda, the more they could feel its solemn aura.

“Wow!” Sharon walked closer and looked at the exquisite relief on the tower. She couldn’t help but sigh.

The tall and majestic pagoda gave off a solemn feeling. This pagoda was a building from the Northern Wei Dynasty. Standing in front of the pagoda, it was as if one was standing in front of a thousand years of history. The pagoda stood tall and towering. The statue of the Buddha on the pagoda quietly looked down at the city and all living beings.

Zahn looked up at the tall and magnificent pagoda and felt very small. He stood quietly in front of the pagoda for a while and suddenly said without rhyme or reason, “I want to kneel down to this pagoda.”

Everyone laughed. Indeed, in the face of a thousand years of history, everyone was so small and insignificant.

A thousand years of experiencing wind, frost, rain, and snow, a thousand years being exposed to wind, sun, and rain. This pagoda had experienced a thousand years of vicissitudes. Some parts of the Buddha statue on the pagoda had already fallen off, which further emphasizes the solemnity of the pagoda.

When they came out, it was still sunny. Later, the sky slowly darkened, and dark clouds pressed down on the pagoda. It had the heavy feeling of vicissitudes of history.

Sharon took out her phone and planned to take a photo of the black clouds and

the pagoda. She repeatedly adjusted the angle and kept retreating, but she couldn’t take in all the scenes she wanted.

As Sharon retreated, she bumped into the steps behind her and almost fell. Fortunately, Wallace held her in time. He held her thin shoulders and said, “Be careful of the steps.”

Sharon’s cheongsam accentuated her figure. Her thin figure looked very bony in Wallace’s eyes, as if the wind could blow her away, making him have a strong desire to protect her.

Wallace hugged Sharon’s shoulder from behind and tapped Sharon’s screen with his slender fingers.

“Switch it to a wide-angle lens like this. Within a short shooting range, you can capture a larger area of scenery.”

Wallace whispered into Sharon’s ear. Sharon could feel his warm breath beside her ear. His voice was magnetic and low. Because he was too close, she seemed to be able to hear his throat and chest vibrate..
