A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 115 – Women in the Middle of the Forest [][][]
"Why are you helping me by putting yourself at risk?"
"Why not? No can? I know you as the one who was about to kill Jin Yu, the one who had leveled my college. I'm just returning the favor."
Sung Hwa just silently heard that, with slow steps he was walking in an uncertain direction. His face was pale and his head was always down. Hair's frowning.
He almost committed suicide right after waking up from his stupor if Kay Su Tek did not quickly act out his crippled body. After being calm, then the tootkan came off and he was invited to leave.
"After all, we are lucky. I lost my teacher, and you lost two of your brothers." Kay Su Tek said later in an almost inaudible voice.
Sung Hwa only responded to that with a brief snort. He confirmed the young man's words. He even said after a while.
"The world is not fair. Just because I'm a descendant of bad people, all my fates are always unlucky. Nothing is good. I don't know what other bitter fate awaits me out there."
Kay Su Tek turned his head quickly, he shook his head in disapproval. Half were surprised to hear that the girl was the offspring of a wicked man, but he ignored her and said, "It is not an unjust world, but it is our destiny."
"Then why should we!!? Why do I have to go through all this!!?" sung Hwa snapped out loud. Kay Su Tek sighed.
"If someone else told you that, what would you answer?"
Sung Hwa's mouth opened, but not a single word was heard. He can't argue. Finally Sung Hwa looked back down and pondered, walking as if he had just stepped.
Somehow long they were in that silence, Sung Hwa suddenly said, "Why are we going together?"
"At least we'll get out of this Heaven's Wall Mountain Range together. You going north or south?"
He wanted to answer the south, but remembering the deaths of his two friends, his last two friends, his heart ached. If without Mi Cang and Yu Nan Sia, going south was about to do what? It was like he was losing his way at the moment.
Suddenly it was thought of Sung Han, that handsome, yellow-eyed, shady young man, who had his face in front of Sung Hwa's face. This girl clenched her hands, gritting her teeth. He answers.
"North."
"Good, we're one goal. Let's go north."
But just finished this speech, they suddenly heard a crying voice from behind. Kay Su Tek and Sung Hwa looked at each other. If the direction was from behind, they should have already passed through that place. Why did not a single human look? Even the ones crying?
As commanded, the two turned around and walked following where the crying sound was coming from. If the sound was carried by the wind, it came from the west there, slightly down behind the valley.
The two sped up the pace as beneath the valley there appeared a woman crying sobbing beside the corpse of a man for decades. Once there, Kay Su Tek rebuked.
"Sorry lady, why are you here alone? So who is this great master?"
Sung Hwa looked around. There were some troops that he knew were at the head of the king. They numbered a dozen and died unfortunate transverse in a dire situation.
The woman turned to stare at Kay Su Tek full of question marks, "Who are you, yourself, young man?"
Kay Su Tek was surprised, if the person called the lady was old enough. He thought it was younger than him, but after looking at it from a mature, mature-looking face, it was probably no less than thirty years old.
Kay Su Tek changed his call, "Mrs, we're the people–"
"Call me, miss. You're right in my nickname, why are you a fox? I'm not married!" the woman said she didn't like it a little.
Kay Su Tek misbehaved and repeated his words, "We are just passers-by miss. Who are you and this master?"
The woman cried again as she hugged the old man's body. While crying like that, he told a short story.
It turned out that she was a lady from a noble family. He had been about to flee to the north to escape the battle, but when he entered the Heaven's Wall Mountains, they accidentally met the warring mountain men.
Unfortunately, their entourage was affected by the war and exterminated by the mountain men's army. He and his loyal bodyguard went on the run. But when the bodyguard did the investigation, he was caught by the mountain man and attacked.
When he came, the bodyguard was already dying and shortly after died.
"More!" the woman said quickly, "Even two hundred people."
"God..." Sung Hwa just remembered now. May this one miss be part of the entourage she saw from the top of the hill with Mi Cang and Yu Nan Sia. It's unexpected that he and Kay Su Tek will meet their lady.
"You're going north, right? Let's take you, we're going north too" Sung Hwa said.
The woman got up and quickly asked to give thanks. He still shed tears not as much as before. Shocked he said.
"Thank you, but there's no need for me to trouble you two lovers. Let me go alone."
The faces of Kay Su Tek and Sung Hwa inevitably blushed upon hearing this. Soon Sung Hwa lowered his head and Kay Su Tek took over.
"We're going to the king's city, want to come?" she lies. Because indeed he felt worried to leave a woman alone in the middle of this forest.
The woman looked shocked, turned back and said again. This time there was no rejection, "Then I will trouble you both."
Kay Su Tek smiled with relief. He and Sung Hwa reply. Then he said to introduce himself, "My name is Kay Su Tek. Before, I wanted to say that we were only friends, not lovers. And this is him....."
When Kay Su Tek stopped saying because he did not know Sung Hwa's name, the girl was about to introduce herself. But first Kay Su Tek cut.
"Name Songli."
Sung Hwa looked up sharply. Indeed, his face was very similar to this young man's teacher, but that did not mean he could change people's names at will.
Kay Su Tek who was looked at like that, only blinked one eye and whispered slowly once.
"When we meet each other."
Even the woman did not hear Kay Su Tek's voice.
The woman smiled as she replied, "Before that, can you two help me bury this loyal bodyguard of mine?"
Sung Hwa and Kay Su Tek quickly agreed. Then she said again, "Include me, my name is Zhu Tiang."
...****************...
Although it could be said to deliver, but the attitude of the young man was very strange when he arrived at the nearest village from the Heaven Wall Mountains. When there was a lot of government troops, Kay Su Tek changed his face.
"You why?" ask Zhu Tiang. Sung Hwa frowned because he could guess the young man's thoughts.
"That's okay." replied Kay Su Tek, but she said again, "I have to meet someone near this village immediately. Then we should split up here. Miss Zhu and Songli, I'm saying goodbye." she said with an uneasy face. He looked at those government troops a moment later before actually leaving.
As soon as he was, Zhu Tiang asked, "Who is he?"
Sung Hwa replied, "Brains are common. Maybe?"
Zhu Tiang frowned, his feelings were not good.
