Chapter 42 The Peaceful Mountain Qiao

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

He was wearing black for convenience. He carried Si Yuhan on his back and said, “Han, don’t make a sound, okay?”

A faint smile flickered across Si Yuhan’s face. He answered, “Okay.”

Ke Ruan climbed onto the roof. Looking around, this was nothing like what he had imagined. He thought there would be many bandits patrolling. The fact was there were only a few guard in some particular places. He thought this place would be pretty cold and dark. On the contrary, it was actually pretty peaceful. Yep. Peaceful.

There was a strange feeling rising in his heart.

“What is it?” Seeing that Ruan didn’t move, Si Yuhan asked in a low voice.

Ke Ruan regained his wits and shook his head. Maybe it was just because he overthought. After all, he hadn’t seen any bandit place ever before. Where did he get this feeling? He must have got a concussion for banging his head all day in the box.

“Let’s go find General Lin.”

“Okay!”

Ke Ruan thought it was a bit tricky and unconvenient with Si Yuhan here. He had to find a way to settle him down.

Since Si Yuhan was already here, it was not reasonable to send him back now. Ke Ruan decided to find General Lin first. This was the only way.

In the dark, Ke Ruan carried Si Yuhan on his back, exploring the terrain while looking for General Lin.

Carrying Si Yuhan on his back made Ke Ruan more and more tired, which made him doubt that Si Yuhan was getting heavier with his steps. From afar, a burst of laughter could be heard. With Si Yuhan on his back, Ke Ruan hopped onto the nearest tree, then he put Si Yuhan on one of the branches, put his index finger onto Si Yuhan’s mouth, meaning “keep silent”.

Si Yuhan raised his eyebrows and didn’t move.

Ke Ruan looked down, and then frowned. Many girls were walking under the tree. There were so many of them, which made Ke Ruan wonder if they were the wives of the bandits.

“A’Lan. Hurry up. Don’t get left behind.”

“I’ll be there soon. You girls go first.” A clear voice rang out from nearby.

After they left, there came a girl of 14 or 15 years old, who was not that beautiful, but pretty good-looking.

Ke Ruan said in a low voice, “Little Han, hold your hands tightly. Don’t fall off. Do you hear me?”

Si Yuhan nodded and said, “Where are you going?”

“Nowhere. Don’t worry. I’ll never leave you alone. I just want to ask her if she knows where General Lin is.”

“Okay,” said Si Yuhan.

Watching the little girl come over, Ke Ruan jumped right behind her and put his hand over her mouth, then asked in a low voice, “Don’t worry. I don’t want to hurt you. I just need to know where they keep those soldiers.”

“Er… Er…”

“Girl. Be smart. You should know people like us would do anything to get what we want.” Ke Ruan kept his voice low. He didn’t mean to scare the little girl, but the time was so limited. What if something happened to Lin Qingye while he was not around?

The girl began to cry.

Si Yuhan saw all of this from above clearly. People like us?

Ke Ruan’s face was full of guit while he was trying to pretend to be evil, which made him look really cute.

He smiled a little, then realized something, which made him withdrew his smile immediately. Looking into those eyes, nobody knew what he was thinking.
