Chapter 4 Meeting Brother Haun

Chapter 4 Meeting Brother Haun

Laying in bed, YiMin could feel the morning sun hitting me. Feeling annoyed by the light she rolls out of the sun's rays and come face to face with YiHan. Watching him sleep she thought about all that this little boy had been through.

He had been trying to do anything and everything to take care of his sister.

But what would have happened if I never came to this world? Was this little boy going to walk into a home to a dead baby sister?? His only family that he had left? Even though I'm sad over the fact that a child died unjustly and the guilt over taking her place haunts me I have to think on all this positively. Drowning in my sorrows isn't going to help me in this new world.

Also, last night YiHan spoke about the forest and cultivators, which highly interested me but my main priority should now be money. In most worlds currency is power, and while I'm a powerless baby now it's still the best plan. Plus I need to take care of YiHan, with everything this boy had gone through how could I not think of him as a little brother. He had been traveling day and night to save his sister and before that to try and save his mother. I don't even want to know how much this has scarred him but I decided that he won't be alone anymore, I'll be the sister that he lost.

In this life my soul feels free, not having to deal with the oppression from my past life. No enforcers that ruled the family with an iron fist nor is their strict house laws that must be abided by.

I have a real family now and I'm going to live this second life to its fullest. Plus this little one is just too cutie and needs my protection.

After a few minutes YiHan opened his eyes. Looking at YiMin he smiles seeing her laying patiently next to him.

"Morning Min-Min" he says pulling her into his arms for a hug. "Morning" I say smiling back. He reaches forward and presses his forehead to hers. "looks like your fever is gone." This was true, last night she felt for fever truly recede. Today she felt lighter and her body was easy to move.

"Umm, I feel a lot better" After he got up to drink some water YiMin glances around the humble home again. Their was a small pit in the corner that she remember the kids mother using before she got sick and a dresser that held a few outfits. After looking inside she noticed a needle set, also from their mom. Thinking of the many possible uses YiMin store the needle set in the belt around her waist.

"Min-Min, big brothers going to the forest to get us something to eat" while speaking he grabbed his cloth shoes and put on his tattered outer robe. Yimin noticed how he had a hole at the sole of his shoe. Their mother was usually the one to handle this stuff so YiMin put it upon herself to practice with the needle to help out.

"Brother, take me with you!" YiHan looks at me skeptically. I easily think of an excuse, "what if I get sick again and fall, I'll feel better if I could be safe with big brother." I blink my eyes innocently at him a few times.

He was silent for a second before slowly smiling at me and nodding, "ok, that's a good idea" ~haa so easy.

"Could we bring the water jug with us?" If we could find a water source that would be great. "Sure, hold on" he runs off and comes back with the two jugs tied around his waist, they were both about the same size as water bottles.

Once their both ready YiHan walks them to the back of the residence. Surprisingly they left the residence through that same hole YiMin spotted before. After crawling through the hole she was surrounded by the thick smell of nature, there were huge trees and green vegetation everywhere. The trees were so tall a adult couldn't reach there branches just by standing, you had to climb to reach them.
