chapter 69

Wu Decai smelt a rat, he then moved to the carriage, while being a brown nose to the chieftain, saying, “Chieftain, I am with you! I am in the same team with your husband and I had protected him several times in this trip…”

And then suddenly, he grasped the cloth of Yin Laosan and dragged him over before he finished his words.

Screaming, Yin Laosan thought he would again be suppressed by this evil man, but only to find that he was held up and was whirling in the air and then fell into a warm embrace.

On the other side, Wu Dahu witnessed that Wu Decai was just split into pieces, he got his blood frozen all of a sudden.

Well, this chieftain seems to be more ferocious than Wu Decai!

Yin Laosan didn’t notice the miserably fatal punishment to Wu Decai. His attention was all attracted to his beloved, the one he had all eagerness to see. Just at the moment when he realized that the warmth on chest was real, he got his eyes red-rimmed, saying in a choking tone, “Why do you just arrive?”

The chieftain smiled slightly, stretched forth to comb Yin Laosan’s hair and then slowly helped him wipe the tears off, saying softly, “Aren’t you the one who abandon me the first? Don’t you know how powerful you are? If you really don’t want me to find you, I am not able to find any trace of you even I can make it to search around the whole world.”

Recalling the days he had been through, Yin Laosan couldn’t resist but bury himself into the chest of the chieftain and then burst into crying.

Those bandits stared at each other again with awkwardness, as if they were all pretending to be blind to the scene full of affection. Well, it can be predicted that this gang of bandits is much well-trained though.

Laifu still struggled to resort to get Wu Dahu untied there, and finally he succeeded in untying it. At the next moment when he raised his head to take a glance at the chieftain, he couldn’t help but whisper to Wu Dahu, saying, “Why do I feel that this chieftain is hostile to us?”

As for the fact, Wu Dahu had discerned it out in the very beginning even without Laifu’s reminding.

Though Yin Laosan seemed to have a good relationship with the so-called chieftain, that didn’t mean that he and Laifu were totally safe now. In this case, Wu Dahu walked to the carriage expressionlessly, while speaking to the group of bandits in a low voice, “Since we’ve got everything settled, we will leave now.”

The chieftain didn’t say anything. It was Yin Laosan who took the initiative and then he raised his head, saying, “Let them escort you. Otherwise, what if you encounter another group of beasts again? You two can’t handle it at all. Can you?”

It seemed that the last words Yin Laosan spoke was to get the chieftain informed. How he spoke was just like a spoiled child but with decision at the same time, as if he was sure that the chieftain would surely promise.

The chieftain took a glance at Wu Dahu and Laifu, and then delivered them a smile of evil sense, smiling slightly and saying, “Since you guys have come here, why don’t you think about visiting us in our stockaded village? Are you looking down upon us?”

Though the chieftain said that with such a plain tone, Laifu could draw a conclusion that as long as they dared to refuse his invitation, he and Wu Dahu would surely be split into pieces either just like Wu Decai.

Wu Dahu frowned slightly, answering firmly, “If you don’t mind, chieftain. We will be honored to get invited by you. Well, we will take a rest in your village and then keep on our trip back home.”

It seemed that Yin Laosan became dizzy with the excitement of the reunion, he failed to find out the undercurrents among the three. On the contrary, he thought the chieftain was just being thoughtful. With excitement, he smiled big.

The two carriages were all taken by bandits. And Wu Dahu and Laifu was encircled by another group of bandits like prisoners. Being escorted by such a scary “Troop”, they were heading to an unknown place.

From Yin Laosan’s explanation, they finally figured out the name of the chieftain: Zhang Yijian (Jian: Sword). It was such a name of power and bravery, delivering a murderous sense to the ones who heard it.

It was a far more prosperous stockaded village Wu Dahu and Laifu ever seen. Various small-scale bazaars were roaring within while countless rare jewels and precious novelties could be seen on every single stall. Among those gadgets, several treasures were lying quietly right there awaiting for their diggers. Probably those were all the ones they rubbed from the folk, guessed Wu Dahu.

All manner of residents were living within the village. Though the majority was young men with a stout body, the seniors, the weak ones, femina males and toddlers weren’t within minority. Everyone here seemed have already been accustomed to the live currently and cast their eyes on Wu Dahu and Laifu with curiosity.

At the moment Zhang Yijian reached the village, he summoned all residents to gather, and then he stood on a high platform, holding Yin Laosan’s waist and declaring, “I am here to announce, this is my husband, he will be the wedded husband of the leader in this stockaded village. In the upcoming three days, I need all of you to concentrate on preparing the wedding ceremony! Take out all treasures you have and pay tribute to me. Everybody, just cheer up!”

After that, everyone under the platform cheered up all of a sudden. They were all shouting something like “Long Live the Chieftain” or “Long Live Our Chieftain’s Husband”.

Yin Laosan felt a bit awkward standing there. At the moment when he touched his face, something seemed to occur to him at once, he then said with surprise, “I haven’t removed the disguise on my face yet.”

Zhang Yijian caressed Yin Laosan on his head, saying gently, “It doesn’t matter at all. And this should be a trail for them too. Otherwise, if you just remove your disguise at once and they can’t recognize you anymore. What’s the point I get them here?”

Though it would be no more chance to get rid of here anymore, Yin Laosan still felt sweet in his mind. He then raised his face and took a glance at Wu Dahu and Laifu, the two who was lonely standing there, asking curiously, “When will you escort them to leave here? They own their own business.”

Zhang Yijian took a glance at the two, answering plainly, “We’ll wait until the end of the ceremony, and it should be a cheerful time for them too.”

If they dared to be unhappy with that, or do something strangely. Zhang Yijian would surely treat them bad.

Yin Laosan didn’t think further about the inner meanings of Zhang Yijian’s utterance. He pondered for a moment and then just drew a conclusion that everything was quite reasonable since Wu Dahu and Laifu were startled along the trip. It would be a nice choice for them to take a shot for releasing. In that thought, Yin Laosan answered, “Alright then, I will get them informed now, otherwise, they probably will misunderstand everything.”

Well, luckily, it was a good news that Yin Laosan still knew the sensitivity of the whole bandit group. He just worried that Wu Dahu and Laifu would misunderstand something because they weren’t able to leave on time.

He walked down the platform and then stood in front of Wu Dahu, repeating what Zhang Yijian said on the basis of his understanding. In the end he patted on Wu Dahu’s shoulder and gave him some comfort, saying, “Take it easy! He always keep his word. You’ll be certain to leave without incident.”

Wu Dahu noticed a murderous glance passed over him as Yin Laosan’s hand touched his shoulder. Taking a step back without moving his face to prevent Yin Laosan from touching him again, he said plainly, “We are fine. Just go ahead with what you’re doing. We will let you know if there is anything we need from you.”

Yin Laosan discerned a certain coldness in Wu Dahu voice,which somewhat made him puzzled. While it did make sense because they had been frightened just now. So Yin Laosan talked with them understandingly:” Okay, as you wish. I have to go.”

After waiting for Yin Laosan to leave, Wu Dahu turned around and walked away with Lai Fu.

Laifu rubbed his body constantly with such a panic fear, saying, “I feel something is wrong. At least we are the lifesaver of Yin Laosan. Why is this chieftain so indifferent to us?”

Wu Dahu shook his head and sighed, answering, “Perhaps some would say that instead of saving Yin Laosan, we almost put him in danger. Anyway we stay here for only three days. Then we can leave alone if he doesn’t intend to see us off.”

Laifu nodded. Though he knew that they had to bear every danger on their own in the rest of the trip if they leave without permission, he would still choose to face the unknown risks rather than stay here with anxiety.

Wu Dahu and Laifu were put in the same room which was with a separate courtyard. Several femina males were there as servants to cook for them. Well, indeed, it was a nice entertainment though.

Everyone in this village was with a strong executive force. After Zhang Yijian made the order, all of them took action at once without hesitation. Everyone was much willing to contribute their shares for the ceremony. With their striving, this tiny village was decorated with full of jubilant gadgets. If there was someone get lost and strayed into this place, he might think that he had come to a wonderland.

Wu Dahu and Laifu didn’t even lend a hand but just stayed in the room peacefully. Only when Yin Laosan knocked on their door did they come out of the room.

With shock, Wu Dahu and Laifu almost failed to recognize that the man right outside the door was Yin Laosan. It was a look far cry from the original one of Yin Laosan since he removed the disguise. They thought it was another femina servant who came to deliver food, so they just showed a lukewarm attitude towards the man outside.

It was not until the man outside the door burst into laughter did they realize the fact that the femina man with finely-cut and delicate face was Yin Laosan.

Though Yin Laosan was much taller than other femina males, no one would describe him as a male if they just saw his face. Yin Laosan’s five sense organs were just too delicate, with his oval-shaped face of a beauty standard, it was a perfect combination.

However, in Wu Dahu’s point of view, Yin Laosan wasn’t a rival to Song Qinghan at all if they were pitting against each other in a beauty contest. But as for Laifu, Yin Laosan should be the most beautiful person he had ever seen so far.

Yin Laosan noticed that the two weren’t that kind of enthusiastic to him anymore. Gradually, he also became more indifferent to them. He just ordered some servants to take care of them.

In a twinkling of an eye, three days past, and it was the date for Yin Laosan and Zhang Yijian to get married.

Zhang Yijian, the one who was in a red gown currently, showed a heroic spirit from his face of bookishness. The whole figure of him delivered a sense of elegant demeanor like a high-spirited and vigorous general.

Right aside him stood Yin Laosan, though Yin Laosan wore a red veil on head which covered the whole face of him, Wu Dahu and Laifu could still imagine how the comeliness of Yin Laosan would overwhelm cities and ruin states.

On the toast, Zhang Yijian approached to Wu Dahu to his ear empowered by the wine, whispering, “It’s good that you are not hitting on him, otherwise…”

With a great strength, he grasped tight on the ceramic cup in hand. And then the cup broke into pieces and fell on the ground.

Wu Dahu answered plainly, saying, “I am married and Laifu is married either. You must have worried too much. Mr Chieftain.”

After that, he picked up another new cup and poured wine into it and then delivered it to Zhang Yijian.

Zhang Yijian discerned the expression of Wu Dahu carefully. Since he found Wu Dahu was kind of sincere, he clicked the cup in hand with Wu Dahu nicely, and then spoke to Wu Dahu in a low voice, “If you want to leave right now, the gate is always open. But it’s not that easy to come back again.”

Hearing that, Wu Dahu heaved a sigh with relief, and then smiled, answering in equanimity, “Don’t worry. Mr Chieftain, we won’t come back here again no matter whether we intend to or not.”

Zhang Yijian nodded with satisfaction, and then went to make a toast to the next group.

After Zhang Yijian left, Laifu came to ask Wu Dahu hurriedly with puzzlement as if he tried to figure out the enigma between Zhang Yijian and Wu Dahu, “How is it? Brother Dahu, can we just leave?”
