Under the warm spring sun, the sorrow of the new year floated up. After leaving the deep mountains and going up the official road, it meant that the arduous journey of ten months could finally come to an end. The smoky rain brought a sense of homecoming to everyone who had not washed their faces for a long time. They all happily walked forward in the rain. Only one person was sad, like a crazy downpour. The dark clouds that did not disperse above his head were Ye Xun.
"Little girl, are you going to follow him like this?"
"I won't leave until he apologizes," Ye Xun said with a dark face.
Chen Qingmi said to Yang Fan,"Brother Yang, just apologize. Don't be angry with her like a child."
Yang Fan angrily threw down the coffin carriage and walked to Ye Xun. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely,"You want me to apologize to you?"!”
Ye Xun shook his head and said," No, I want you to apologize to all the short people in the world. Your body and skin are all decided by your parents. It's not something that can be decided by yourself. You shouldn't be discriminated against."
Yang Fan's face was full of disgust as he said,"If I apologize, will you be able to scram far away and never let me see you again?"
Ye Xun nodded.
Yang Fan: Listen up, all dwarves deserve to die. If you have the ability, follow me for life. Do you know what burning books and burying scholars is?”
Ye Xun felt cheated and held back his tears.
Yang Fan interrupted,"Wrong!" Because those people were all damned dwarves. They couldn't even climb out if they were given books. Who else would they scam if not them? But why did you come out unscathed?”
Ye Xun said,"I know qinggong."
Yang Fan: So you're the shortest and most damned dwarf! You want me to apologize? Dream on!"
"If you don't apologize, I'll die!"
Yang Fan: " Wow, then I'll really think about it, but why are you looking at me? Do you want me to pick a date for you? I think it's better to do it now!"
At this moment, the sound of galloping horses came from afar. Ye Xun walked to the middle of the official road and closed his eyes.
"Brother Yang, just say something soft to her, don't kill her!" Chen Qingmi said anxiously.
Yang Fan said,"Yes! Madman, let her die!"
He saw a yellow horse flying in the distance, but he didn't have any intention of stopping the people on the road.
Chen Qingmi was anxious when she saw this
"What should we do, what should we do?"
The yellow-maned horse approached in an instant. Chen Qing did not dare to look at it. As she covered her eyes, she heard a loud noise followed by a wail.
"You dare to stop the official's horse? You're courting death!“
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of hooves could be heard. Chen Qingmi wondered why it was a male voice shouting. She looked around and saw Yang Fan lying quietly 30 feet away. Xiong Zheng Ying was laughing at the side. Xia Xueyan and Lei Yin hurriedly went forward to take a look. Xia Xueyan said in surprise,
"Hey! Yang Fan, are you alright?"
She wanted to turn Yang Fan over to see his wound, but Lei Yin quickly stopped her.
"Don't move yet. He might have injured his shin bone."
Ye Xun squatted beside him and asked with concern,
"Are you alright?"
Xia Xueyan glared at him.
"It's all because of you!"
Ye Xun lowered his head apologetically. Suddenly, Yang Fan twitched and jumped. He pointed at Ye Xun and said angrily,
"You shameless shorty, you actually dodged!!”
Ye Xun pouted shyly,"Who told you to want to touch me?"
"I want to touch you!"？？You're too shameless!"
"Then why did you pounce on me?" Ye Xun asked, stretching his neck.”
Yang Fan: "I ~ I ~ I want to strangle you. Don't you want to die? Do you dare to stretch your neck over?!”
"I don't, I don't want you to touch me!"
"Bah! I'm afraid I won't be able to find a place to wash my hands after I strangle you. I know you don't dare to die, you're just saying it to gain sympathy from others, you despicable dwarf!"
"Hmph, so what if I die? Do you think I don't dare to?" Ye Xun said.”
At this moment, an ox cart came from afar. Yang Fan nodded and said,
" Alright, did you see that? Just stick your head under the wheel. Sigh, I guess you're a man of your words. I'll immediately kneel in front of you and kowtow to apologize. Then, I'll cut off my own legs."
Ye Xun said,"I'll drill then."
Yang Fan gave her a thumbs up. You're a man. Just you wait."
Ye Xun said,"Just wait."
The two of them stood at the side and looked at the ox-cart that was slowly approaching. Lei Yin said to Xia Xueyan,
"Looking at Brother Yang's tone, it seems like he didn't hurt his shin."
Finally, the ox cart approached and Yang Fan gave Ye Xun a look. Ye Xun's gaze was firm and he really dived under the ox's hooves. Yang Fan was shocked and actually reached out to pull it, but in the end, he was brought down. Then, he heard a cracking sound accompanied by a series of screams. The driver got off the cart and pointed at Yang Fan, who was like mud on the ground, and cursed for a long time before leaving.
Ye squatted beside Yang Fan and asked with concern,
"Are you alright?"
Yang Fan's body kept trembling. He wanted to strangle Ye Xun to death, but he couldn't move his body. He could only stare at her with his eyes wide open and couldn't say a word.
Ye Xun widened his eyes and said," I did, but I came out again. You don't have to kneel down or cut off your legs. Just apologize to me."
He said with a smile. At the same time, tears of unwillingness flowed down from the corners of Yang Fan's eyes.
Lei Yin checked him and said," He has a few broken ribs and a few injuries. He was also run over by a car. This is considered light. Fortunately, he has a strong body. Most people would be half-crippled if they didn't die. However, he would have to lie in bed for a month or two."
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xun with a reproachful gaze. Ye Xun lowered his head and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know he would pull me back."
Xia Xueyan said,
"What do we do now?"
Lei Yin said,"We should be reaching the town soon. Let's pull Brother Yang over first. Miss Chen, we need to borrow your coffin first."
Chen Qingmi was a little hesitant. When she saw Lei Yin and Xia Xueyan's slightly unhappy expressions, she quickly said,"Okay, no problem."
Lei Yin nodded and thanked him. Xiong Zhengying helped him push open the coffin. Who would have thought that Ren Pingsheng would not do it and would not come out no matter what? Chen Qingmi said.
"Pingsheng, come out. Brother Yang is seriously injured and needs to borrow your coffin."
"Oh?" Ren Pingsheng said. It's Brother Yang, then…that won't do. Why should I come out just because you asked me to? I won't come out."
Xia Xueyan said angrily," How can you be so unreasonable? Don't even talk about the person who dragged you for hundreds of miles. Even if an ordinary person was injured, you wouldn't behave like this, right?"
Ren Pingsheng said,
" Sigh, I didn't ask him to pull me. He took your money, and the money you used was her silver. You came for profit, and I went for profit. We have our own plans, so we don't owe each other anything."
Chen Qingmi asked for the way
"Pingsheng, just come out. Seeing that Brother Yang is talking to you every night,"
Ren Pingsheng said,"I could have, but I'm not happy to see them."
Xia Xueyan drew her sword and said,
"Are you coming out or not?"
"Little girl, who are you trying to scare?" Ren Pingsheng asked.”
Ye Xun was surprised that there was a living person in the coffin. Seeing that they couldn't stop arguing, she went to the side of the coffin and said," Hello, big brother. Please come out. This big brother was seriously injured because of me. He needs a place to lie down."
Ren Pingsheng glanced at Xia Xueyan and said,"Look, she's so polite. I came out because of you."
Ye Xun nodded,"Thank you."
…Seven days later
"I'm really sorry, Big Brother Ley. It's because of me that we've delayed our journey."
Yang Fan lay on the bed and said,
"What are you talking about? We're companions. All you need to do now is take care of your body."
Yang Fan: "I can't lie down anymore no matter what I say today."
After getting out of bed, he stretched lazily, and his movements were no different from ordinary people.
"Are you really alright?" Lei Yin asked in surprise. You were first hit by a horse and then run over by an ox cart."
Yang Fan smiled and said," It's nothing serious. It's just that my body is a little sore. Maybe I've rested too much in bed. It's much lighter than the old guy's fist."
"But you just broke three ribs," Lei Yin said.
Yang Fan said,"When I fight with my grandfather, I always break a few. It's fine."
As he spoke, he removed the splints on his body. Lei Yin said helplessly,
Alright, since you insist, I'll get Miss Ye to call you for dinner later."
"She hasn't left yet?!" Don't! I don't want to see her."
Lei Yin said," Brother Yang, don't say that. She's a girl after all. She took care of you a lot when you were injured. Besides, she paid for our hotel expenses, our daily expenses, and your medicine. Don't be angry with her. Apologize."
"What?!" Yang Fan said. I apologize? Impossible! Big Brother Ley, don't you know what it means to be mischievous? Let me tell you, she must be trying to cure me before taking revenge on me. Don't think that I can't see through her sinister motive. You've all been deceived by her appearance."
Lei Yin laughed,"I'm not as bad as you think."
Yang Fan said,"You…were you all bribed by her…?"”
"I'm almost there. Miss Chen seems to like her, but don't worry. Yanzi will always be on your side," Lei Yin said.
Yang Fan nodded. Lei Yin stood up and said,
"Then I'll call you for dinner later."
Yang Fan: "No need, I'll go down myself in a while."
Lei Yin nodded and said,"Okay, you should rest more."
As soon as he left, Yang Fan sat down with his hand on his chest.
"It hurts!"
After a while, Yang Fan walked down from the second floor of the inn. He looked down and saw that everyone had already taken their seats and that annoying Ye Xun. The first floor was filled with voices and was chaotic and noisy. Many big men were fighting to toast, and there was a look of joy. After Yang Fan sat down, he frowned and said,
"What are these people doing?"
Lei Yin said,"It seems like a wedding banquet is being held. They might be relatives and friends from afar."
"Are you feeling better?" Ye Xun asked suddenly.”
"You don't have to pretend to care about me. Do you want to harm me?"! Why haven't you scram yet?"
"I have to wait for you to recover. After all, you were injured because of me."
Yang Fan sneered and said,"A girl wandering outside for so many days, aren't you afraid that your family will worry? You must have been abandoned by your family, right?"
Ye Xun lowered his head, but Chen Qingmi complained,
"Brother Yang, how can you speak like this? She's just a little girl who hasn't offended you much, yet she's being ridiculed by you like this. You're losing your manhood."
Yang Fan couldn't get over this in his heart. Just as he was about to argue with Ye Xun,
"It's okay. Sister Chen, I won't blame this big brother. After all, I was in the wrong first."
Chen Qingmi rebuked,"Look at him. He's still a seven-foot-tall man. His bearing is not even comparable to a little girl's."
Looking at Ye Xun's bright smile, Yang Fan suddenly understood. It turned out that Ye Xun wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of everyone and put himself in the position of a bad person. He felt how vicious his heart was and glared at Ye Xun.
Lei Yin interrupted," Let's get back to the main topic. We have two options now. What do you think, Old Bear?"
Xiong Zhengying said,"I support Sister Yanzi. It's better to go by land."
"Miss Chen, what do you mean?" Lei Yin asked.”
Chen Qingmi said,"I'm fine with either of them. You guys decide."
Lei Yin added,"The waterways are usually controlled by the sects of the pugilistic world. Although it may cause more trouble, it can avoid the city inspection."
"Then…" Chen Qingmi said.
She looked at Lei Yin's eyes and paused.
"It's still up to you guys to decide."
Lei Yin pondered for a moment and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a loud voice.
"How unlucky. They're celebrating and hanging up here. I'll go and tease them."
Xiong Zhengying said in a low voice,"We were obviously here first."
Lei Yin whispered,"A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. You must not quarrel with them."
A person with a face full of alcohol swayed to Yang Fan and said loudly,"Where did you come from?"
Lei Yin stood up and said respectfully,"We are from Rivertown. We are here to attend the funeral."
The man patted his chest and said," I know. Someone died. Why don't you all wear white clothes? Who died?"”
A bystander hurriedly pulled him back and said,"Daniu, stop fooling around." He then apologized to Lei Yin.
"Sorry, brothers, he drank too much."
Lei Yin cupped his hands and said,"I understand."
The man pushed away the person who was persuading him and said with sleepy eyes,"I didn't drink too much!" I'm asking you a question. Who died in the family?"
Lei Yin smiled apologetically,"My father is ill."
That person said," Oh, Daddy is dead. It's good that Daddy is dead. If he's dead, we can split the inheritance. Congratulations!"
As he spoke, he slowly poured a glass of wine for Lei Yin. Yang Fan was just about to get up and flare up when Lei Yin held him down with one hand. He even smiled apologetically and took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Good!"
The two of them clapped their hands in celebration. The one called Da Niu shouted,
"Stop arguing! Someone's father is dead here. Come over and give me a toast!”
When the people behind heard this, they came over one after another, their faces flushed and their footsteps swaying.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Lei Yin raised his wine cup and toasted the three parties three times before downing it in one go.
"That beauty behind you is your wife?" Why aren't you drinking?"
Lei Yin said,"It's my younger sister."
Da Niu said,"That's all the more reason to drink. She won't get a single cent."
He said that he wanted to laugh out loud and said to Xia Xueyan,
"Come, Big Brother Daniu will drink with you."
Lei Yin gave Xia Xueyan a look. Xia Xueyan suppressed her anger and stood up, opened her cup, and downed it in one gulp.
Da Niu said," If you want to cry, cry in Big Brother Da Niu's arms. Big Brother Da Niu's chest is big enough, and his arms are thick enough. It's not a problem for you to lie down and sleep. Haha!"
His words made everyone laugh.
"Why aren't they drinking? Drink!"
Xiong Zheng Ying and Chen Qing Mi also stood up helplessly and downed the wine.
"Good, good, good!"
The crowd cheered, and someone said,
"Why isn't that little brother drinking?”
Yang Fan sneered at him and said,
"Drink your mother's head. This sweet, bitter, and not bitter thing makes one's brain swell. Only stupid pigs like to drink it. If you want to be red stupid pigs, go ahead, okay? You even pulled others to be with you. You're really stupid and lonely."
