Chapter 17 – Faking Death

“Hm! To think that there would be a piece of roe deer meat here of all places!”

s.h.i.+ Dashan managed to enter the house in the end. Sweeping a glance across the interior of the house, he  saw the roe deer meat. Disregarding any sense of courtesy, he walked towards it and put the meat inside his waist pack.

“Put that down! It belongs to my Second Uncle!” Lin Yi grabbed towards s.h.i.+ Dashan’s waist.

“Presumptuous brat!”

s.h.i.+ Dashan’s complexion sank. He clutched at Lin Yi’s neck and slammed him onto the wall, causing the house to quake, bringing it to the verge of collapse.

“s.h.i.+ Dashan! That roe deer meat belongs to my Second Uncle. Put it down now!”

Although Lin Yi’s throat was being crushed, he didn’t show any weakness. His face flushed and he let out a roar.

He was a hunting squad warrior, incomparable to an ordinary person. When he struggled, the ground trembled. Holding his breath for an hour was nothing for him, let alone being held with his throat choked.

“You!!”

Looking at Lin Yi’s deadly glare, though s.h.i.+ Dashan was angry, he felt quite helpless as well since he could not really do anything to him. Afterall, Fatty was a member of hunting squad warrior. Just how many hunting squad warriors were there in the village?

“That wastrel Second Uncle of yours has died. You want to waste food on a dead person?!”

s.h.i.+ Dashan roared in anger while his eyes were fixed  on Fatty.

“Who said my Second Uncle is dead! Who said my Second Uncle is dead!”

Fatty widened his both eyes and cursed in rage, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. You used to say that my Second Uncle is dead just until a few days ago. Did not he come back safe and sound?!”

“You!”

s.h.i.+ Dashan was about to say something but got choked by Lin Yi’s words instead. Lin Hao did not die even after being trapped in the cave for three years. As such, he was unsure whether this time Lin Hao really was dead after being caught in the mine disaster or not.

Thinking in such a manner was one thing, but he could not admit it just like that!

Childe Zhu had told him that, regardless of whether Lin Hao was alive or dead, he had to bring back that thing, even if he had to tear down the stone house. If he admitted that Lin Hao was not dead, how would he tear the house down!

“My Second Uncle is not dead! If you want to do anything to this house then step over my dead body first!”

The veins on Fatty’s face bulged. He roared in rage, causing s.h.i.+ Dashan’s ears to become numb.

Hearing those words, s.h.i.+ Dashan felt that things had become problematic. Lin Yi was not an ordinary person. Had he been an ordinary person, he could have just tied him up and put him aside. But how could he control Lin Yi, who had more than a thousand pounds of strength, by himself? At the very least, he needed another hunting squad warrior to do it.

“Fine! Just you wait! I would like to see just how long you can protect this house!”

Glaring at Lin Yi for a while, s.h.i.+ Dashan realised that he did not have any other way out. He let out a snort and smashed Lin Yi to the stone table before leaving.

He did not believe that Lin Yi could always stand guard here.

Regardless of the fact that whether the wastrel of Lin Family was alive or dead, he could not come back anymore. On the other side, s.h.i.+ Dashan could come here anytime. Sooner or later, he would be able to tear the house down.

“Both of you, scram quickly!”

Fatty came out from the house only to see s.h.i.+ Dalong and s.h.i.+ Hu behaving sneakily in the courtyard. He roared at them, scaring them away immediately.

……

Lin Hao walked out from the hidden chamber with a gloomy complexion.

He had antic.i.p.ated that there would be people coming to investigate the real situation. With Fatty here, he did not worry about being exposed. But he did not thought it would be s.h.i.+ Dashan again; moreover that rampant att.i.tude of his!

“Second Uncle, I am sorry.”
