Chapter - 328 Inn In a Deserted Village (3) (1/2)

”Today is our happiest day,” Lu Guanying replied.

”That goes without saying,” Cheng Yaojia said, ”Today is the second day of the seventh month, my third [maternal] aunt's birthday.”

Lu Guanying smiled, ”Ah, you must have many relatives,” he said, ”It must be difficult to remember all those birthdays.”

Huang Rong thought, ”Your wife belongs to a big clan in Baoying; her maternal aunts', her paternal aunts', her nephews' and nieces' birthdays will come and go; but can they be compared to you, the Great Leader Lu of the Lake Tai's stronghold?” Suddenly she recalled something, ”Today is the second day of the seventh month, Jing Gege will need until the seventh to recover. The Beggar Clan's general assembly is on the fifteenth at Yueyang City. We have a very tight schedule.”

Suddenly there was a long whistle outside, followed by a loud laughter, shaking the roof tiles; it was precisely Zhou Botong's voice. He called out, ”Old Poison, you have been chasing me from Lin'an to Jiaxing and from Jiaxing back to Lin'an, one day and one night, throughout you can't overtake the Old Urchin. Victory or defeat between us two has already been decided. What else do you want to compete in?”

Huang Rong was startled, ”From Lin'an to Jiaxing and back is more than five hundred 'li's; these two men's feet are truly fast.”

Ouyang Feng's voice was heard replying, ”Even if you run to the end of the earth I will still chase you.”

Zhou Botong laughed, ”We won't eat, we won't sleep, we won't even urinate or defecate; let's see who can run the longest. Do you dare to compete with me?”

”Why not?” Ouyang Feng replied, ”I want to see who will drop dead of exhaustion first!”

”Old Poison,” Zhou Botong said, ”You won't be able to compete with me in not urinating and not defecating.”

They both stopped talking and let out a long laugh instead, but the laughter seemed to come from more than a dozen of 'zhang's away already. Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia did not know what kind of people these men were, who swiftly came and went in the middle of the night. They looked at each other in astonishment; then hand in hand they walked to the door to take a look.

Huang Rong thought, ”If these two are competing their feet power, then father will surely want to watch.” Sure enough, she heard Lu Guanying's surprised voice, ”Ah, where is Grandmaster?”

”Look over there,” Cheng Yaojia said, ”There are three shadows; the last one looks like your Grandmaster.”

”That's right,” Lu Guanying said, ”Ah, they are that far already. I wonder what kind of experts those two are. Too bad we did not have any chance to meet them.”

Huang Rong thought, ”The Old Urchin is all right, but you'd better not meet the Old Poison.”

As Huang Yaoshi left, Lu and Cheng two people thought that they were alone in that inn; their hearts started to get devious. Lu Guanying circled his arm around his newly-wed wife's waist and asked in a low voice, ”Meizi [Little sister – term of endearment], what is your given name?”

Cheng Yaojia said with a chuckle, ”I won't say it, you guess.”

Lu Guanying smiled, ”If not Xiao Mao [kitten], then it must be Xiao Gou [puppy].”

Cheng Yaojia laughed, ”Neither. It's Mu Da Zhong [mother big bug].”
