Chapter 68: His Beloved

Translator: LiamHW

Now, Wang Yuanbao had passed away and plus, Wu Decai almost exposed himself of every evil thing he did. Though Wu Dahu still stood guard for the midnight, he did not sleep at all the whole night.

Yin Laosan suffered the same situation as Wu Dahu did. He closed his eyes tight, tossing and turning all night. His breath was never able to stay steadily, which could reveal the agitation of him in his mind.

Wu Decai, the one who was regarded as the biggest enemy now, was kind of fidgety either currently. He probably had found out that Yin Laosan and Wu Dahu had already known his conspiracy. Secretly, he nursed an enmity in mind.

Laifu was the only one who had a nice dream tonight. After all, this innocent man was the only one who knew nothing about this conspiracy.

The next morning when Laifu woke up, he noticed the three who were all featuring with pale complexions while having dark circles around their eyes. And then he murmured, “Shame on me! How come I fall asleep that easy? I feel so much for our Brother Yuanbao.”

And then it was Wu Dahu who came to console, “It’s good for you to sleep well. We should cheer up to the trip today. The last section of the road isn’t kind of easy to pass.”

Recalling the fact how they encountered the villains on the road, Laifu got his nerve strained all of a sudden and then he nodded seriously.

Yin Laosan was agitated standing there and being dizzy from drowsiness, he got no idea what Wu Dahu would arrange for him to do, so he just walked aside to take a relief.

After making breakfast, Wu Dahu heard a scream of Yin Laosan not far away.

He then glanced around trying to find Wu Decai, but he failed even to find a trace of the guy. Sh*t, Wu Decai might be there where Yin Laosan stayed. Wu Dahu then rushed to the place hurriedly.

Yin Laosan was tied up and was limp and weak on the ground. When he saw Wu Dahu coming over, he moved towards arduously.

Wu Decai kicked hard on the back of Yin Laosan and then Yin Laosan got a violent fall all of a sudden. Wu Decai stepped on Yin Laosan’s back, saying with a grinning and evil face to Wu Dahu, “It’s too late. I can take his life whenever I want right at this moment.”

Wu Decai might have conceived of another thought in mind since he didn’t kill Yin Laosan as soon as he caught him, Wu Dahu thought so and then frowned, saying, “What do you want? We’re now in the same boat. Aren’t we? We can’t lose anyone anymore. We probably will be trapped in this direly awful woods forever.”

Wu Decai grinned with an evil smile, he then waved his dagger in hand, shouting and motioning to Wu Dahu, “As long as you drop your weapon, we can have a nice and smooth negotiation.”

Laifu rushed over either, he was so much frightened when he witnessed the scene out of his expectation, he then shouted with a squealing voice, “Wu Decai! What do you think you are doing? Let Yin Laosan go!”

At the moment when they were stuck into a deadlock, Wu Dahu noticed that Wu Decai had used his dagger to cut a length of hair of Yin Laosan. His nerve was strained again, and then came to figure out that he couldn’t irritate this unbridled man’s anger with some other so-called rational reasons, so he just threw the dagger in his hand on the ground, and then raised both his hands up high in the air, saying, “I got nothing in hands now. Can we grab a talk now? I know you want the coins. And I think that Yin Laosan would choose to keep his own life rather than to keep his money, he will surely redeem his life. In addition, I would like to share half of mine to you, just let him go. Will you?”

And then Laifu echoed, raising hands and saying, “I… I will share half of mine too. Just let go of Yin Laosan now!”

Wu Decai looked at Wu Dahu and Laifu who were both like a duck in a thunderstorm, he felt much satisfied, raising his eyebrows and saying, “Do you think that I will be so dumb? Once I let him go, you three will ally and resort to confront me. Hell no, I will get no chance to survive.”

Wu Dahu frowned, saying, “So, what do you want? Think about it. If you kill Yin Laosan, do you think that you’re strong enough to confront me and Laifu and survive in this hunger game?”

Wu Decai nodded with agreement, but then put on a grave expression all of a sudden, saying relentlessly, “I would love to ask Laifu to tie you up. As long as you’re not a threat to me anymore, I can let Laifu and this Yin guy go.”

Laifu was shocked while getting his eyes wide open, he pointed at himself and then Wu Dahu, asking incredibly, “If I tie him up, me and Yin Laosan will face a threat from you!”

Wu Decai delivered them a sinister smile, saying in a low voice, “I won’t kill him. I will just let him take the lead. You tie him up and throw him into the front carriage, and the horse can recognize the route itself. As long as we can get out of this fuxxking woods, I will let all of you go, how about that?”

After that, he stepped heavily as hard as he could on the back of Yin Laosan. And then it was a painful scream from Yin Laosan echoing in the air.

Wu Dahu pondered for a moment. If he couldn’t promise Wu Decai right away, probably today would be the last day for Yin Laosan in this world. On the other hand, if he was just tied by hands, he should get another way to fight back. In this thought, he promised decisively, saying, “Alright. Laifu, tie me up.”

With an utter shock, Laifu walked to Wu Dahu slowly. And then he used the rope which was just detached from Yin Laosan to tie Wu Dahu up.

Wu Decai frowned, shouting with dissatisfaction, “You should tie him up like tying your enemy. Don’t tell me that you just tie your enemy up that way! Are you giving another chance to your enemy to get yourself killed?”

He then snatched tight on the hair of Yin Laosan as if he was doing so to threaten Laifu. Lifting Yin Laosan’s head and placing the dagger on his neck, Wu Decai scratched slowly on the gauze on Yin Laosan’s neck, and then took a glance at his ever-recovering scar, saying, “Wow, this medical cream is such a magic. Isn’t it? Give it to me later.”

Wu Dahu saw the awkwardness on Laifu’s face, he then consoled, whispering in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Tie me up tight. We should save Yin Laosan now. Wu Decai should be blame for the death of Wang Yuanbao. He is the murderer.”

It was only Laifu who could hear the last few words uttered by Wu Dahu. Being informed by the shocking news, Laifu got his head dizzy, he thought he had a hallucination right at the moment. Wu Dahu then motioned Laifu with his expression not to scream.

Laifu didn’t even dare to raise his head to take a glance at Wu Decai since he knew the man was such an evil and frenzied demon without mercy. Shivering, he untied Wu Dahu and then tied him up again.

It was all his fault, why did he pick someone who was such a jerk and harbored evil intentions? He was the real culprit who brought about the death to Wang Yuanbao.

Tears gradually blurred the sight of Laifu, while the man was just absorbing in tightening the rope not knowing how he tied Wu Dahu up. After he tied a knot on the rope, he couldn’t help but burst out crying.

Finally, Wu Decai came to a satisfaction delivering them another grinning look, while pouting his lips as a signal to Wu Dahu and motioning him to get on the head carriage. And then he grasped Yin Laosan and Laifu behind and threw them onto the latter carriage. Then he threw a stone on the butt of the horse of the head carriage. As the head carriage ran, the latter one followed, the team again was on their way.

Undoubtedly, Wu Decai was such a cunning fox either. Ordering Wu Dahu to take the front carriage was also his trick. As long as the head carriage encountered something, he could evacuate in a flash without wasting time to react. And plus, he didn’t have to worry that Wu Dahu would escape or not because Wu Dahu couldn’t get rid of the tightened rope.

In addition, Laifu and Yin Laosan weren’t a threat at all. Since he got Wu Dahu well-tied, he had nothing to consider of. And if accident happened, he could throw these two for a shield. As long as they could get out of this woods peacefully, he still got thousands of idea to get them killed.

If he could get all of them killed, these all fur and dry meat would all belong to him. At that time, he could take the benefit all alone. Even though he sold them all in a lowest price, the quantity of coins was still enough for him to live till his death.

He indulged himself with all kinds of scenarios that would cheer him up right away. At the moment, Yin Laosan was huddling up in a shadow inside the carriage and raising his arm slowly.

“Phew”, the arrow was launched aiming at the hindbrain of Wu Decai in a flash.

Wu Decai, the one who had experienced various battles and was quite sensitive to every perilous situation, turned his head subconsciously and vigilantly. The arrow just pierced through his left brain, penetrating his left ear and half of his face.

He wailed painfully, clutching his left face and staring at Yin Laosan resentfully, and then raised high the dagger in his hand.

Yin Laosan got his mind strained all of a sudden, and stretched his legs to kick Wu Decai at the moment the man was suffering the pain. With that vigorous kick, Wu Decai fell out on the ground.

Wu Decai rolled a few rounds on the ground, and then stood up trying to keep his legs. It seemed that his eyes were full of fury. Staring at the running carriage, he shouted, “I will definitely KILL YOU. You worm!”

He ran and ran without a break, and almost got his shoes on fire. Not long, he approached the carriage and jumped onto it. On the other side, Yin Laosan was disturbing him using his feet and trying to kick the man off again. In this situation, Wu Decai had to grasp tight the curtain to keep his balance.

Yin Laosan then launched another several rounds of arrows but all failed to shoot Wu Decai. Under desperation, he triggered again the crossbow, but only to find that nothing was triggered at all.

Wu Decai grinned hideously, saying, “No more arrow? Ha, it’s my turn now.”

It could be seen that Wu Decai’s face was still bleeding with the white bones exposed among the bloody flesh. With that scary face and a grinning look, he was just like a demon just out of the hell and was making approach to the two. Yin Laosan and Laifu couldn’t help but retreat.

Just at the moment when Wu Decai raised high again his dagger, he was bumped hard by an unknown strength all of a sudden. This sudden hit almost got him fell over the cliff.

With surprise, Yin Laosan shouted, “Brother Dahu!”

Wu Dahu frowned while keeping his eyes at the direction where Wu Decai stayed, saying in a low voice, “Untie me, quick.”

Regaining attention, Yin Laosan just found that the rope on Wu Dahu was still on and tying. Several turfgrass clippings were grasping tight on Wu Dahu’s messy hair, probably it was because Wu Dahu just jumped down from the head carriage for saving them.

However, the knot Laifu tied was just too tight. Even though Yin Laosan and Laifu cooperated to try to untie it, the encased knot just failed them to do so.

Right at the moment, carriage paused. And Wu Decai stood up again struggling. With the dagger in hand, he approached these three with a ferocious and hideous face.

“Freeze, you! Put down your weapon!”

Just as Yin Laosan and Laifu were desperate over their fate, a gathering of people just jumped out from the grass and encircled the carriage.

At the first glance, Wu Dahu could recognize that these group of people bore no difference with those bandits they met day ago. Standing stiffly, he didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Wu Decai rolled his eyes, and then shouted in a high voice, “Gentlemen, I would love to show my surrender and line up alongside with you! Their lives are my warlords! I will just kill them all and donate all the treasures in these two carriages for showing my wholeheartedness.”

The bandits stared at each other, as if it was hard for them to make any decision.

And then without getting the answer, Wu Decai walked to Wu Dahu and was about to stab him using his dagger.

At the moment Wu Decai was approaching, Yin Laosan yelled all of a sudden, “I AM YOUR THE HUSBAND OF YOUR CHIEFTAIN! Catch that bastard!”

Everyone at the scene was shocked by Yin Laosan’s utterance. Wu Decai took a pause and stood still in astonishment.

Those bandits didn’t react at all, but it was Wu Decai who held his stomach and burst into laughter, pointing at Yin Laosan and saying, “Just listen to yourself, will you? You’re just talking something nonsense for saving yourself! HAHAHA, you’re killing me by your pitiful joke. If you’re the chieftain’s husband, I should be his biological brother.”

Just as he laughed for a while, he could sense some attention fell on him. And then he withdrew his grinning smile on face, saying while trying to ingratiate himself with those bandits, “Well, it’s not a good analogy. But hey, I am just trying to unmask this man’s trick. He dares to insult our Great Chieftain. I will kill this guy for our chieftain’s sake.”

“Who said that he’s speaking nonsense?”

A clear voice suddenly sounded from afar. The bandits separated into two lines and formed a path, greeting to a man who was walking slowly towards the carriage. “Chieftain!” greeted the bandits.

It was a man who featured a snow-white skin with a finely-cut face. Well, if this man grabs a book in hand, he should be much like a noble childe from a noble family. But wait! He is the head of these bandits?
