Chapter 201 - 135 Bullying People_2Chapter 201: Chapter 135 Bullying People_2
“Speaking of which, I have never really experienced Sister Xiao Yun’s cooking.”Su Mo watched her move swiftly and skillfully, clearly not her first time undertaking such tasks.
Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo: “That’s true, but Uncle Fu never gave me a chance. Even if I wanted to show off my cooking skills to you, Uncle Fu would just intervene and kick me out of the kitchen, I’m helpless. Once we return to the escort agency, I’ll personally cook for you and guarantee you’ll want to swallow your tongue.”
“Then it’s settled like that.”
Su Mo leaned against a tree trunk, looking at two horses searching for grass in the snow, and couldn’t help but sigh, “These two old pals have also suffered along with us, after getting past Huayang Mountain tomorrow and reaching Three Rivers Bay, we’ll need to find an inn to feed them well.”
“True, Three Rivers Bay is bustling, there’s an old shop there I often visit when escorting; their braised Three Rivers tail is unmatched, you can have a good taste.”
“I hadn’t realized before, but you really enjoy eating, huh?”
Su Mo felt he had discovered something new about Yang Xiaoyun.
Yang Xiaoyun smiled slightly, about to say more, but saw Su Mo stretch out his hand and gently press down.
She immediately stopped talking, and within moments, they saw a figure stepping on the snow, entering their field of vision.
At first glance, the figure was still distant, but quickly approached them.
After glancing at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, the figure smiled and said:
“Both of you, a traveler late in the night, drawn by the light of your fire, might I inconvenience you to share your warmth with a passing stranger?”
Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun quietly watched this person, silent for a long time.
The man still wore a smile and asked again:
“Both of you, a traveler late in the night, drawn by the light of your fire, might I inconvenience you to share your warmth with a passing stranger?”
His voice was gentle, his demeanor kind.
If not for the mutilated corpse behind him, his demeanor might have appeared refined.
Su Mo quietly watched him, then nodded, “Please feel free.”
“Thank you.”
Upon hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief, then laid the corpse down beside the firelight.
Taking out a water bag, he glanced at Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun: “Want a drink?”
“We just drank.”
Su Mo’s eyes wandered over the corpse, noticing it was a woman, but uncertain how long she had been dead.
The man nodded, brought the water bag near the fire, and set it on the ground.
He then laid the corpse down and lay beside the firelight himself.
Yang Xiaoyun could now see clearly; it was a young woman, dressed in a green robe, with hands that suggested she once had martial arts skills.
Now, she lay there with her abdomen brutally opened.
The wound was wide, and mysteriously, her internal organs were missing.
The man rubbed his hands together, softly exhaling, “The cold biting deep, it indeed troubles one. May I ask where you two are headed?”
This man, carrying a bizarre corpse, spoke as if it was all normal.
Smiling brightly, his demeanor was gentle.
Yang Xiaoyun glanced at Su Mo, who subtly waved his hand at her, prompting her to say with a smile:
“We siblings wander Jianghu, heading east this time, planning to visit some relatives.”
If one really dissected those words, they weren’t incorrect.
They indeed wandered Jianghu, and they were heading east; regarding visiting relatives… going to find Yang Yizhi, if that isn’t considered visiting relatives, then what is?
“Heading to Dongcheng, huh.
The man shook his head: “Dongcheng is not a good place to go, with myriad Sects, messy, and very few good people. You both don’t look like vicious folk, going to Dongcheng, you’ll likely be bullied.”
“Oh? How so?”
Su Mo chuckled: “We’ve always operated in the Southwest, rarely venturing east. If it were not for the lack of livelihood, we would not go to Dongcheng to seek family, nor do we wish to leave this familiar place to struggle in unknown lands.”
“Ah…”
The man sighed deeply, “Forced by life, Dongcheng, with numerous Sects; big Sects have many powerful people who act unruly. Small sect members dwindle, if their martial arts are mediocre, even more, struggles ensue.
“And civilians suffer even more, often unable to feed themselves or sleep peacefully, perpetually cautious of the large Sect Disciples coming to bully.”
“In short, life in Dongcheng is exceptionally hard.”
“Is this really the situation?”
Su Mo raised an eyebrow, exchanging a glance with Yang Xiaoyun.
Both were actually aware of the circumstance in Dongcheng.
Especially Yang Xiaoyun, who often traveled between Dongcheng and the Southwest, understood clearly the situation there.
Civilians may not live in bliss, but certainly were not reaching the extent of being unable to feed or protect themselves.
Moreover, large Sects were particular about maintaining their own rules and cultivation; casually bullying people would be ridiculed by other Sects, making it difficult to stand under Dongcheng Sects.
Obviously, this man was spouting nonsense.
The man then nodded: “Our chance meeting is fated; having spoken so much, I will be frank with you. I’m actually from a minor Sect in Dongcheng, yet, inexplicably, I’ve been oppressed and bullied by some big Sects…”
