Chapter 24 (1/2)
Du ShouShou and Zhong JiuGe did not know that An Zheng had came to Ye Aunty’s tavern alone.
After coming back, An Zheng had a lot of suspicions. Why didn’t he feel any risks? He had used to be the leader of the Tribunal and experienced lots of danger. Therefore, he clearly knew that the death of Chen Pu would make South Mountain Town noisy. If he returned, he would be near the risks. Therefore, he went to meet Ye Aunty alone, and he planned to tell Du ShouShou after he had succeeded. If he did not succeed, he would not have mentioned about this at all.
However, the South Mountain Town was very quiet last night.
An Zheng did not know that there was a scholar last night who had killed two-hundred-seventy-nine bandits by himself. He just walked on the street, pointed randomly, and many of the people fell down. There were people of the Chen family, the Great Bandits Hall, and the others who had wanted to put their hands in this business. However, there was no blood on the main street. That scholar had killed people without letting them bleed. When An Zheng walked on the South Mountain Street, he looked at the alleys whenever he pa.s.sed by. However, he did not see any bodies piled up in the alleys.
An Zheng sat down and thought. At that time, Du ShouSho moved to him and squatted next to him.
– “What are you thinking?”
Du ShouShou asked.
An Zheng replied:
– “I’m thinking about where to go. If Ye Aunty does not agree to help us to carry out Cleansing the Marrow, then we couldn’t join any sects.”
He looked at Du ShouShou:
– “You? What are you doing?”
Du ShouShou stretched his back:
– “In the past, whenever I got up, I went to the toilet first. Yesterday I went to the toilet many times. Now, I have nothing in my stomach. Although I went to the toilet as usual, I couldn’t s.h.i.+t anything out.”
An Zheng asked again:
– “So, you should sit down. Why do you need to squat like that?”
Zhong JiuGe leaned on the branch. He smiled and replied instead:
– “An ye, you must not know that his a.s.s was hurt due to moving his bowels too much…”
An Zheng sighed softly. These two guys were really innocent.
– “An Zheng, I have a question.”
Du ShouShou sat down making the tree branch strongly shake.
– “Go ahead!”
– “Have you ever loved someone?”
– “Not yet!”
– “Why?”
An Zheng glanced at Du ShouShou:
– “How many girls are there in this South Mountain Town? Although there are girls, they will not run on the main street. You are only ten years old. Why do you think about it all day?”
Du ShouShou:
– “My life goal is to have a beautiful girl as my wife. After that I will open ten stores in the South Mountain Town so that I can take money every day. In the morning, I will lead her by my hand on the main street so that people will admire me. She will swing back and forth her thin waist and her big f.a.n.n.y while walking, and I will help her.”
Zhong JiuGe curled his lips:
– “Beautiful girls will not dare to look at an ugly guy like you.”
Du ShouShou:
– “Don’t you see that those who walk together with the beautiful girls are ugly people? Therefore, I can definitely do it in my future because I am uglier than them.”
Zhong JiuGe gave a thumbs-up, and he suddenly opened his eyes widely:
– “Great… greatly beautiful girl.”
Du ShouShou curled his lips:
– “Are you dreaming?”
After that he also realized that An Zheng was gazing at somebody in front of them. His eyes revealed caution and doubt. Following An Zheng’s eyesight, Du ShouShou saw a beautiful girl. She made lots of men in South Mountain Town s.h.i.+fty. She was Ye Aunty, the owner of the tavern. Ye Aunty wore a light yellow dress which made her more girly. She was a strange woman. Her temperament changed along with her style.
Ye Aunty looked at the three people and asked:
– “What are you doing here on the tree?”
Du ShouShou intended to answer, but An Zheng stopped him because he was afraid that Du ShouShou had said something rude.
– “We are waiting for the suns.h.i.+ne, and then tell Ye Aunty ‘Good morning’.”
An Zheng smiled happily, but he felt worried inside. Yesterday, he came to the tavern, but he did not knock on the door, and he just put a bag outside. He was afraid that someone stole the bag because he felt murderous air inside. At that time, Ye Aunty was about to take action. However, now she came to meet An Zheng. Therefore, he could not know what Ye Aunty wanted.
An Zheng was doubtful of Ye Aunty, and so was Ye Aunty of him. Mu ChangYan said that An Zheng did not have clear origins, which helped Ye Aunty understand why she did not see his eyes like a child at the first time.
– “Talk seriously.”
Having said that, Ye Aunty turned back and left. An Zheng jumped down from the tree and followed her. Du ShouShou looked at them and pitifully said:
– “This woman is not simple. I don’t know if An Zheng can conquer her.”
Zhong JiuGe:
– “You jerk!”
Du ShouShou was surprised for a while because he did not know why Zhong JiuGe had scolded him as a jerk.
Ye Aunty went first, and An Zheng followed after. They insisted on keeping a distance. It was the first time Ye Aunty had felt a close relations.h.i.+p with a child. Therefore, she believed in Mu ChangYang’s prediction more.
Going far into the jungle, Ye Aunty stopped and said:
– “I am curious about your origin. Anyway, an orphan of the South Mountain Town definitely cannot have written a skillful guidance like that. But I will not ask because everyone has their own secrets. As you asked for my help, but you didn’t ask me why I hid my status. I will not see you as a child, so you don’t need to pretend to be a child so that I can slacken my cautions… fairplay is good for both sides.”
An Zheng smiled a bit showing his white teeth. His smile looked so happy:
– “Ye Aunty, just go ahead!”

Ye Aunty said:
– “So, we will go straight to the topic. You looked for me because you had wanted to ask me to help you to carry out Cleansing the Marrow?”
An Zheng shook his head:
– “Not only me, both Du ShouShou and me.”
Ye Aunty:
– “You two? So, that guidance is still not enough for my fee.”
An Zheng said:
– “I will write down another one!”
