Third Young Master Yan
After a few days, Yu Ping actually said to me,"Let's hurry to the Goldwater Stronghold. Otherwise, it would be hard to find Ma Shulin if he went elsewhere.”
"You really want to go?" I was shocked."Just the two of us?”
"What's wrong with the two of us? Are you afraid of that pot picker?" She raised her eyebrows." Don't tell me we'll just let him snatch the jade? Da Bao, don't worry. I won't do anything without a diamond in the rough. I know Ma Shucai, and he knows me. Hmph, I want to see if he dares to not sell me out. I will definitely get the jade back for you and vent my anger.”
I'm not that enthusiastic. Although Ma Shucai snatched the jade, I couldn't hate him. More importantly, I suspect that if Yuping and I don't get the jade back, we'll be in big trouble. But I couldn't persuade her, and I didn't want her to think that I was a coward and not a man.
Let's go. I think Ma Shucai might not be in the Golden Water Stronghold anymore.
We'll go to Sabah first. She said we should go to the Wa Army's regimental headquarters. I was shocked and suspicious. I followed her to the entrance of the regiment headquarters uneasily. The Wa soldier standing guard gave us a nondescript military salute.
So that Wa soldier knew her? I was very surprised. What was even more surprising was that Commander Wang immediately smiled when he saw her."Ah, Miss Yuping is here. Honored guests. Please sit down. Little San, quickly pour some tea."
" No need for tea," Yu Ping smiled." I came today to borrow two horses and two spears from you. AK-47 rifles are the best."
"Oh, what's the use? Miss Yuping, are you going hunting?"
"You don't have to worry about that. You just say whether you want to borrow it or not. "Yu Ping smiled.
"How dare I not lend it to you? Even if you wanted a cannon, I would give it to you, let alone two lousy guns.”The commander smiled." Wait a moment. I'll get someone to do it."”He wrote a note and handed it to a staff officer. The staff officer took a look and left.
The three of them drank tea together and chatted. After half a day, the staff officer returned and said to the regiment commander,""The horses and guns are ready. Third Young Master Yan asked Miss Yu Ping to wait for a while. He will be there soon.”
"What is he doing here?" Yu Ping's face darkened." You told him, didn't you?”
"No, no. You can ask Advisor Lin if you don't believe me.”
"I met him on the road. I knew Young Master must be thinking about you, so I told him. He said that he must come to see you and asked you to wait.”The advisor smiled.
Not long after, a Wa youth with a medium-sized military uniform walked in. He didn't report to Commander Wang or greet him. He smiled at Yu Ping and said,""Little Ping, why are you here?”
"Then why are you here?" Yu Ping asked with a smile. If you can come, why can't I?"
"What do you want a gun for?" The young man kept looking at me.
"I won't tell you." Yu Ping smiled." Why should you care?"
"Of course I care. I told you not to play with guns and sticks. This is a man's business. What could a girl not play? Why did he have to play this? Something might happen."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. It's getting late. We have to go.”Yu Ping stood up to leave.
"No, you can't leave. Little Ping, other than killing wild animals, guns are also used to kill people. You can't use it to do anything dangerous. If there's anything, just tell me and I'll do it.”The young man panicked and pulled Yu Ping back.
Who was this young man? What was his relationship with Yuping? I was shocked and angry.
"Third Young Master is right. Yuping, two broken spears are nothing, but if anything happens to you, who can bear the responsibility?”The regiment commander laughed.
Yu Ping struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She stole an unnatural glance at me and smiled bitterly."Third brother, let go……Alright, alright, alright. Let me tell you, we're going to hunt rabbits. There were many rabbits in the mountains of the mine. There were so many that with a roar, there would be people running out and crashing into trees to die. I'll go and hunt a few and marinate them into dried rabbits for you and Commander Wang to drink on a rainy day. What do you think? Didn't you say that my beef jerky was delicious?”
Commander Wang burst out laughing and spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Little Ping, don't find excuses, you can't do anything risky, you can't leave! I don't eat rabbit jerky either." Third Young Master Yan pulled Yu Ping and refused to let go.
Yu Ping was anxious." Alright, I'll tell you. I have to go do something. I can't tell you what I'm going to do for the time being. If you believe me, then let go. If you don't believe me, then forget it. I don't want the gun anymore. We'll break up here. I can't be with a man who doesn't believe in me.”
Third Young Master Yan hesitated.
"Let go or not. "I'll give you ten seconds. One, two, three, four…" Yu Ping scolded.
Third Young Master Yan finally let go. His eyes swept between me and Yu Ping as he asked,"Who is this person? Why is he with you?”
"Lover, are you satisfied now?" Yu Ping laughed." Third Brother, let me tell you, I'm about to drown in your jealousy. Are you annoyed? He is the deputy mine manager of the Five Bulao Company, and I am the cashier of their company. Why can't we be together? Tell me!"
"You…Alright. Does that mean I can't go with you?”
"No!" Yu Ping said," Let's go, Dabao."”
I followed her in a daze and got on the horse. The two of them left the regiment headquarters under the gazes of Third Young Master Yan and Commander Wang.
Yu Ping kept looking at my face and didn't say anything. She led me to a small restaurant. A Wa young man was serving the dishes. When he saw Yu Ping, he quickly came out and said with a smile,"Sister Ping is here?"
"Manbei, I need to do something. Can you come with us?”Yu Ping asked," Let's go now."
"Alright, just you wait." Manbei said without thinking, ran into the shop, said a few words to the young lady boss, and then ran out with the Burmese knife.
After purchasing some biscuits and mineral water in Sabah, the three of them set off.
Manbei took the lead and I followed behind Yu Ping woodenly. A great sense of loss seized me. My heart was filled with sorrow, and I didn't want any jade treasure at all. How did she know that no treasure in the world could compare to her?
Ever since that moonlit night, I felt as if I was sitting in a spring breeze. I looked at the blue sky and the clear water. My body and mind were filled with great joy and happiness, as if it was about to overflow. This had never happened since Bi Min left the mine. I fell hopelessly in love with her, but I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, when I was unprepared. I thanked God, thinking that I had finally found my other half, found a beautiful female confidant, and was no longer lonely and alone. I didn't expect that it was just self-deception and wishful thinking. The cold reality instantly caused me to fall from the nine heavens into the Avici Hell.
I followed behind her in a daze, only thinking of going somewhere with no one to cry.
The three of them remained silent throughout the journey. She looked back at me from time to time but said nothing.
How many times have I wanted to ask her, but I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth? Even a fool can tell the relationship between her and Third Young Master Yan, but I'm still afraid to hear it from her mouth.
After hiding for a while, he finally couldn't take it anymore and asked,""Then who is Third Young Master Yan?"
She reined in the horse and turned to look at my expression."It's Deputy Commander Yan's son."
" Then what are you and him…" I was shocked by my own roar and quickly stopped after realizing it. Why should I yell at her like this?
I thought she was going to get angry and scold me, but she didn't. She just looked at me.
Manbei looked back at us in surprise. The three of them were speechless for a moment and stood there in a daze. After a while, Yu Ping sighed softly and said,"Let's go. It's getting late."
It was much faster to ride a horse than to walk, but they would not reach the Golden Water Stronghold in a day. We rested in a Wa village for the night. At dusk the next day, we saw the wooden houses and grass roofs of Jinshui Village that were red from the sunset.
