A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 140 – Miss Han
Suddenly the door opened violently from inside. It was immediately noticed by them a sixties old grandfather whose back was slightly bent. In his right hand held a stick he had used to clap Sung Han's head.
As soon as he saw a handsome young man and a veiled girl standing in front of his house, he became angry. His eyes were red as his face turned red as well. He cusses.
"Who is this early in the morning already disturbing people's homes!" his staff was raised again ready to send a sabetage to Sung Han's crown. But just then came a shrill cry from within as the grandfather's body was pulled backwards.
"Dad, why are you fussing with an unknown person!?" the woman said after pulling her father's collar hard.
The old man instantly became dazed with his eyes glaring here and there. Only a "ah-uh-ah-uh" voice came out of his throat.
The woman looked at Sung Han and Yang Ruan with an uneasy look. He smiled to let the two in. He walked to the back room to take his father to the room.
The two of them went in and sat in the chair there. Not long after, the woman came out again with two drinks. He put it on the table and he opened his voice after sitting down too.
"Master and miss, who are you two and what are you going to do here?" he said with a friendly smile.
For a moment Sung Han was amazed as well by that smile, yet he quickly replied, "I'm Sung Han, and he's Yang Ruan. We are just ordinary tourists who are curious about the state of this village. People say, this house is the second of the figure of old man Cao?"
The woman nodded in confirming. Sung Han said again.
"Sorry, according to the people at the diner earlier this morning, old man Cao has gone mad after seeing the Red Eagles massacre. Really it?"
The woman's facial features showed a change, looking slightly displeased. His forehead was wrinkled and his mouth was pouting. "Why do you say that? What's the matter with you?"
This time, Yang Ruan replied. Out of fear that Sung Han would offend her again.
"As explained, we are just ordinary travelers. We are afraid that if we go to one of the villages, it turns out that the village will be visited by Rajawali Merah."
"Then you are not lucky because this village has become the target of the devil. Better get going."
"If you may know, where did old man Cao see the massacre?"
It was silent for quite some time after Yang Ruan asked that question. The woman's face was still unhappy, but after that she suddenly sobbed and cried. Of course Yang Ruan became confused and quickly he approached to hug the woman's shoulder.
"That's a catastrophe..a great catastrophe.." the woman muttered indistinctly, "The village was already destroyed. No one lives there. Good thing it was me and dad getting out alive."
After that, the guest room became quiet unless filled by the sobs of the woman. Sung Han and Yang Ruan who wanted to ask further questions became self-conscious and undo the intention. So they decided to wait until the crying stopped.
After the woman stopped shedding tears and calmed down a little, Sung Han dared to speak, "Actually we already knew that the Red Eagles came here last night. In fact, what thing did he throw that made everyone still unable to speak?"
That was when, this woman's cries stopped completely, replaced by a tense expression with a pale face pias. His body suddenly shivered violently, it could be felt by Yang Ruan who still continued to hug him.
"What's the matter, miss? What exactly is that?"
The woman hurriedly replied, "Ahh. You are outsiders, however. Better ask Miss Han yourself."
"Areally who is Miss Han?" sung Han asked curiously because it had been twice today the two heard that name.
"He's the son of the prettiest lady in the village. The plan, a week from now the government troupe will come to pick her up and raise her to be a palace lady with her daughter. But he.ahhh, no-no. It is better to ask Ms. Han yourself. The house has a large tree that has a red eagle sign. The house was already marked by the devil."
Sung Han and Yang Ruan looked at each other then nodded. Then the two of them immediately said goodbye to the host and quickly headed to the house of Miss Han.
...****************...
"Miss!!"
Call Sung Han from a distance to see the girl on her way to the house. He stopped and turned his body.
Upon arrival there, the girl rebuked, "Eh....Are you not the two people who came here yesterday?"
For a moment, Yang Ruan and Sung Han looked at Miss Han's face more thoroughly. Only now did they understand the face of the girl who was so beautiful. With wide eyes and plump eyelashes, her rosy lips twitched as she spoke. Adding to the appeal of this woman.
Hurry Yang Ruan said, "Is that really the lady that Miss Han is calling?"
"Right, how do you know?"
"Forget that. Is your relationship to the item thrown by the Red Eagles last night?"
I again had a surprised expression when I heard the question. It had been three times on this day that Sung Han and Yang Ruan had the same reaction when they asked about the item.
Miss Han did not answer right away, but instead she invited them into her house, "Let's go in."
After they entered, Miss Han let them sit down. After that, the room became quiet because no one opened the sound. The atmosphere is too tense.
Until that awkward silence was broken by Miss Han's voice, "It was a bracelet."
Seeing that the two guests were still quietly waiting for the next greeting, Miss Han again said, "That's a special bracelet reserved for women who will be sent to the emperor's palace." then he pulled his robe and saw a beautiful gold bracelet on his wrist. There was a kind of translucent beautiful stone adorning the bracelet.
"This is what the bracelet looks like. And my mom has it."
Until here, Sung Han was even more astonished. "What's so special about that bracelet. Why are the citizens we asked about the goods thrown by the Red Eagles, their faces stiffened immediately?"
"My mom was gone a few days ago. I don't know who the kidnapper is. Then last night, the Red Eagles threw this thing, which means he's the mastermind of the kidnapping."
"If you know, isn't it good?"
Miss Han looked at Sung Han after goal, saying she responded to the young man's remark, "This village is famous as a patriot village. Because young people will be sent to the palace to be trained into the army. While the women will be the ladies or even concubines of the emperor. If mother hasn't been found until another week, where the pick-up squad is coming...."
Yang Ruan who seemed to have understood suddenly cut in, "You will be considered rebels!?"
Miss Han nodded with a difficult expression.
