Chapter 219: Running Into A Boy
Translator: Paperplane, Zen.o.bys
The group set off once again.
But just before they could reach several hundreds of steps, they heard a cry for help. “Wahhh wahhh! Helppp!! Hurry! Anyone! Save me! I’m going to be eaten by wolves! I’ll pay whoever saves me a hundred thousand taels.”
Everyone was drenched in sweat. Where in the h.e.l.l had this little boy come from? They didn’t know if he was dead or alive, but they knew he was wandering alone in the forest.
Liu Rushuang curiously stepped out of the carriage to take a look. All she could see was a boy climbing halfway up a tree, not too far from them. There were a couple of hundred ferocious wolves beneath the tree who were endlessly throwing themselves at the little boy.
“Ah! Someone, hurry! I’m about to get eaten!” The little boy shrieked again.
Liu Rushuang turned her head to look over at Han Moze. “Ze, I’m going to go save him!” She said.
“It’ll be better if I go,” replied Han Moze immediately.
Liu Rushuang thought about it for a moment, then sat back in her seat.
Han Moze stepped out of the carriage, then used his Qingong to fly up to the little boy.
The little boy looked at Han Moze with glistening eyes, then loudly cried, “Big brother! Come, save me, quick!”
Han Moze had a cold and sullen look on his face as he nonchalantly flew to a relatively nearby tree. With his left hand, he conjured up a large, ice-blue inner breath ball and hurled it at the pack of wolves.
Aoowww aowww… The sound of the dying cries of the fierce wolves rang incessantly in the pit ears.
Aowww! “Run! Run!” The leftover wolves turned their tails in fear and ran off.
The little boy immediately jumped off the tree and looked up at Han Moze in joy. “Thank you big brother, my savior!”
Han Moze pulled a faint smile, then turned around nonchalantly and landed on the ground. Without saying a word, he headed straight for the horse carriage.
The little boy immediately caught up with him.
Liu Rushuang saw the little boy, as he walked to the side of the horse carriage.
The little boy was about ten years old or so. He wore a pale yellow robe and his hair was combed up with a male hair crown accessory. He had a small, handsome face with prominent brows, big eyes, and thin lips. Overall, he looked very cute and likeable.
Liu Rushuang couldn’t help but like him. “What’s your name? Where does your family live, and how did you end up here?” She asked with a smile on her face.
The little boy’s eyes were transfixed on Liu Rushuang, when he snapped to his senses, then composed himself and answered in a steady voice. “I’m Le Zhengyu and I live in White Cloud City. I never imagined that I’d run into bandits on this business trip. They killed my men and left only me alive. They captured me and were going to bring me back to White Cloud City to get ransom money from my father when all of a sudden, I ran into you two.”
With that, he kneeled in front of Han Moze and Liu Rushuang, then kowtowed three times.
“Thank you, my saviors. In the future, I must show you great grat.i.tude!”
Liu Rushuang pulled a smile. “Please rise. It was nothing.”
Le Zhengyu subtly pursed his lips. How could that have been nothing? It was clearly very dangerous!
Then, he got up and asked, “I wonder if you both may allow me to hitch a ride?”
Liu Rushuang sat further into the horse carriage and replied, “Come in!”
Joy crept upon the tip of Le Zhengyu’s brow, as he quickly got on the carriage and sat in front of Liu Rushuang.
Han Moze’s face seemed a little sullen, as he got in and sat beside Liu Rushuang.
Le Zhengyu looked over at Han Moze and Liu Rushuang, then smiled a little awkwardly. “It’s better if I sit outside.”
Then, he swiftly stepped out of the carriage and shut the doors. That guy has such a chilling gaze!
Liu Rushuang watched as Han Moze’s face instantly turned from sinister to bright and warm. “The look on your face changed too quickly!” She said.
“Shuang’er, surely you don’t want other people to see us…?” smiled Han Moze.
Liu Rushuang’s face instantly flushed, then she reached her hand out to cover Han Moze’s mouth. “S-shut it, you!”
