Chapter 17 (2/2)

Seeing his Second Uncle’s complexion, Fatty could guess that he was unhappy, so he apologised with his head lowered.

“It is okay. If they come again, don’t obstruct them.”

Looking at Fatty, his rage reduced to half of its original value. Afterall, no matter how furious he was, he could not take it on Fatty.

With s.h.i.+ Dashan’s impromptu visit, Lin Hao had a gut feeling that there must be someone with a high status behind all of this.

s.h.i.+ Dashan was a hunting squad warrior afterall. Moreover, his strength was above Fatty’s. He could be considered someone with high importance in Stone Swallow Village. Be it using or instructing him, being able to a.s.sign tasks to s.h.i.+ Dashan repeatedly indicated that, either s.h.i.+ Dashan had a problem with his head or the person in question was not simple.

Although Fatty was a hunting squad warrior, if the other party was imprudent, something dangerous might really happen.

But Fatty did not think like this. Hearing his Second Uncle’s words, he lifted his head instantly and said, “No fear, Second Uncle, and rest a.s.sured. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to the house!”

“Stop being impulsive!”

Lin Hao ma.s.saged his eyebrows and looked at him with his head aching, “Little Yi, you must know that the stone house can be reconstructed anytime if it is gone. But nothing must happen to us.”

“We are both living, and are well now. As long as we are still alive, Lin Family will never peris.h.!.+”

Lin Hao felt awkward while saying those words.

Although Lin was his surname as well, he did not have the slightest of relations.h.i.+p with Fatty’s Lin Family. However, he still had to do so. Otherwise, with Fatty’s temperament, most likely he would not heed his words.

Fatty curled his lips after hearing those words, “I am a hunting squad warrior. What could possible happen……”

His voice, however, softened quite a lot.

Lin Hao took another glance at him and did not speak any further. Speaking up till here, he understood that Fatty already knew how to weigh the matter. Anyway, if it really came down to it, Fatty would know how to handle it.

“By the way, since Second Uncle intends to hide for now, do you have any place in mind?”

Suddenly, Fatty asked out of curiosity.

Lin Hao smiled bitterly while shaking his head. He was not the real Lin Hao. This was the first time that he was here and so he did not have a place to hide.

“There is none. But since the desolate land is so wide and Stone Swallow Village is big only to an extent, there should not be any problem as long as I leave the village and find a cave to reside in.”

(TL: the previous barren land will be changed into desolate land.)

“No way!”

Who would have known that after hearing those words, Fatty’s complexion would change abruptly.

“Second Uncle, the desolate land may be wide, but it is too dangerous. A random strong wild beast can cause huge loss to the village. That is why the hunting squad warriors exist. I was too weak three years ago, but I cannot let you go this time. If you do not have any particular destination, then I have a place in mind, but I do not know if you are willing……”

Fatty hesitated, trying to decide whether he should continue or not.

Hearing Fatty’s words, Lin Hao felt curious and asked, “What place?”

“Nie Manor!” Fatty nodded and spoke reluctantly.

“Nie Manor?”

Lin Hao was surprised. Although he did not pay much attention to the first word, he knew what the word “Manor” meant.

Could it be it is another Tribe Elder’s descendant?

It just doesn’t make sense to seek refuge to someone you call b.i.t.c.h, does it?
