Chapter 4 (1/2)
SOGE Chapter 4 – The Wastrel of Lin Family
The fatty was called Lin Yi. His ill-fated “Second Uncle” was called Lin Hao2. There wasn’t much difference with how his previous name sounded like. Lin Hao1 who heard this felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Both of them were members of Lin Clan in nearby Stone Swallow Village.
Since it was known as a clan, it meant a great person had emerged from there before.
According to the fatty’s explanation, the ancestors of Lin Family had produced a Tribe Elder before. Its fortune could last three generations. Therefore they could be known as a clan. Even though there were only both of them left in Lin Family, the ‘clan’ t.i.tle couldn’t be stripped off either.
That was to say, even if Lin Hao2 didn’t do anything at all, he still could live comfortably.
However, three years ago, Lin Hao2 abruptly stimulated for unknown reasons, in order to break through the restraint of blood vessels and become a warrior, he actually took out the square cauldron handed down by his ancestors and entered a desolate cave alone, seeking breakthrough.
This one trip had taken him three years.
Hearing up till here, Lin Hao1 twitched his mouth.
What other sorts of stimulation could it be?
Either he was looked down by that lady or someone had ridiculed him, making him indignant, or something along these lines. In short, he was forced into a corner then went to seek death.
Being despised was a thing, but hearing up till here, he was finally relieved.
Though troubles weren’t less, but Heavens still had its conscience. At the same time he wasn’t given an ident.i.ty, he wasn’t given a consignment of brothers and sisters either, not to mention sons or daughters. Now that the entire Lin Family had only both he and Lin Yi left. Added with the fact that Lin Yi firmly believed his ident.i.ty without any doubts.
At least I won’t be exposed easily this way.
That was what he thought. As for the “Second Uncle” in Lin Yi’s heart, if he were to be placed in the world before he crossed over, he would be the definition of recluse. Putting his family aside, he didn’t have much of acquaintances so he didn’t have to worry issues about being exposed.
Three years. It could change a lot of things, including people’s memories and personality…
“Afterwards, someone told me that you have died, even the cave where you went into seclusion has collapsed. But I didn’t believe it. Because you have said before that before marrying that b*tch Nie Li, you will definitely not die.” The fatty continued to speak confidently.
……
With Lin Yi’s support, he finally made it back to his “home”.
But he never expected that the so-called “home” would look like this. At the inside, there was a house made of stones and clay, while at the outside was a circle formed by a pile of messy stones pieces and yellow mud!
This is “Lin Manor”?
He was stupefied. The previous lofty terms he heard before, what member of Lin Clan, what Lin Manor. He was even praising how kind the Heavens was, that no matter at what place, it still left him a foundation and a carefree life…
Could this even f*cking counted as foundation?
His mouth opened while ‘serving’ the wily Heavens’ ancestors in his heart.
Alright then. Compared to those thatched huts beside this, this stone house is indeed better, moreover, it is higher by a grade obviously.
He was unable to imagine how did those thatched huts spend their time during stormy days!
Yet at this moment, two youth who wore straw clothes walked out from the stone courtyard while holding several pieces of stone which smudge of clay could be seen on the top of them. These were obviously dismantled from that stone house.
Seeing this scene, Lin Hao1 was abruptly petrified……
They have started to dismantle the house??
“s.h.i.+ Dalong, s.h.i.+ Hu! What are you both doing!”
The fatty saw this as well. He halted his footsteps, let go of Lin Hao1, and moved towards both of them while staring with both eyes as round as ball, as if an enraged lion.
Though he seemed simple and honest, when he was enraged, he was extremely scary. His clothes bulged under his strength, his clenched fists seemed to weigh no less than a thousand pounds, every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground!
He was thoroughly angered. Ever since his Second Uncle disappeared, from time to time, there would be people who came to rob or steal things. Even he couldn’t prevent these completely. Within the span of three years, most of the things in the house had been emptied. But even so, no one had even been so brazen as to dismantle the house blatantly!
“Not good! It’s Lin Yi!”
“Didn’t he go hunting?”
“You ask me then I ask who? Anyway, let’s run separately!”
s.h.i.+ Dalong and s.h.i.+ Hu who saw Lin Yi was greatly alarmed. Discussing with just couple of sentences, holding their rocks, they scattered into different ways immediately as they were afraid that they would be overtaken.
They were after all ordinary youths, unlike the fatty who had cleared his blood vessels restraint and was a hunting squad warrior. Compared to them, he was stronger by who-knew-how-many folds. How could they not be afraid? If they were caught, they would definitely be thoroughly beaten up!
“Contemptible!”
Both of them ran quickly and disappeared from his sight just after a moment. The fatty was distracted as he didn’t know who should he chase. He also didn’t dare to stray too far away from Lin Hao1. As such, he could only let out a snort and step ruthlessly on the ground, leaving behind a hole on it!
“What is exactly going on here?”
Seeing this scene, Lin Hao1 knew things had come, though he was still quite unhappy about it.
Though the exterior of “Lin Manor” had depreciated, which made his cheeks streaming with tears, there were still people who dared to dismantle the bricks, no, dismantle the stones. Were those people really going to let him live in a thatched hut?!
He didn’t want to see after he woke up only to find his house had gone someday. Nor he wanted to see though his house seemed fine yet a hole would abruptly appear out of nowhere!
