A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 29 – A Day
Yu Ceng and Yu Ping were the first members of the Black Dragon after Jade Shi subdued various groups of bandits as well as robbed. After all these years of the Black Dragon standing up, the grandfather saved Yu Ceng and Yu Ping who were stranded on the streets of the city.
Then the two men were brought up at the main headquarters. Ever since Yu Ceng's presence, many people wanted to join the Black Dragon. Until a few months passed the new disciple members had already reached thirty-seven people.
But maybe the basis of their different characters, one ex-bandits and the other swordsman, every day these two groups are always fighting, no one wants to lose.
That was when Yu Ceng begged Jade Shi to move the residence of the new students to another place, the grandfather agreed. Therefore, the call "miss" was embedded for Yu Ceng, who indirectly became the leader of the new students.
But even though there is often tension between these two groups, but it can be seen clearly that the two groups also have a strong sense of family. Evidently when the foundation of the new student settlement, the old students felt very angry and clearly vengeful to the Red Lip Granny.
Thus a glimpse of the story of Yu Ceng who was unable to silat, but he was able to relieve tension between two groups in one society. Therefore, knowing his tragic death, there was not a single person in the Black Dragon who did not curse the grandmother peyot of the Demon Heart.
...****************...
Sung Han continued to take Yu Ping west, nowhere did he know. The last time the girl spoke was when she was shouting when Sung Han clashed with Jade Shi. Afterwards, his eyes were blank and his attitude was like a puppet.
This young man took Yu Ping by the hand, never taking off a flash. Afraid that Yu Ping would disappear again like that time.
He was in Alang Alang village. The village whose name is quite strange. But as the name implies, this village stands in the middle of a grassland alang-alang. The weather here is hot and hot.
He invited Yu Ping to go to one of the restaurants there. Sit in the corner and call one servant.
"What are you going to eat?" ask Sung Han softly. However, Yu Ping continued to be silent by staring blankly at the dining table.
Sung Han sighed, not the first time like this. Every time he tried to open the chat, which was the answer otherwise a small mutter, meant a head bob.
"Cow meat and warm water. Two portions." said Sung Han then to the waiter who immediately went to prepare the order.
Sung Han and Yu Ping ate in silence. Even so Sung Han continued to watch over Yu Ping with concern. At this time the girl was just like her, a piece of kara without parents or relatives.
"Please take care of my sister." Yu Ceng's words echoed in the recesses of her heart, making her heart ache as if she had been stabbed by hundreds of knives.
"Sorry Yu Ceng, I can't keep bringing your sister. If I do that, then there will only be misery for him."
Finished eating, Sung Han brought out Yu Ping and intended to continue on his way. But from the back, there were whispers of residents who seemed amazed by something.
Sung Han quickly turned his head and was fixated, apparently the villagers were talking about a group of bald women who looked meek. There were ten of them, all wearing pure white robes with no hair on their heads.
"Republican?" sung Han's murmur
They were either nuns or female monks. Their parasites are pretty-pretty with rosy cheeks. The look on her face is soft and pious, symbolizing peace and well-being.
As soon as these ten people passed in front of Sung Han, the leader of the entourage clasped his hands and bowed a glance towards the young man accompanied by a faint smile. Sung Han's reflexes pay people's respects.
"The nuns...if I leave Yu Ping on them, then his safety will be assured!" Sung Han exclaimed inwardly.
Quickly he turned to look at Yu Ping who was also watching the group of nuns. He held both of the girl's shoulders while saying. "Yu Ping listen, I'm not going to throw you away, but if you come with me then you can die young. Then from that–"
"Yes, I want to." Yu Ping briefly said in a flat tone. "I don't want to bother you anymore." he continued.
"Yu Ping.sorry...."
"I'm the one who should apologize. Brother continue with brother's business." he said later.
...****************...
After following the group of ten nuns, Sung Han finally arrived at a forest on the edge of the meadow. Not long after, they arrived at a large temple dominated by gold and red. There are two statues of lions on the right and left of the gate.
When Sung Han got close, there was someone from inside who exclaimed. His voice echoed, clearly with deep exertion.
"What's this about? Why did the young master come to our temple? Any need?"
"You..wasn't that in front of the diner?" ask the leader of the group in shock and also a bit scared. However, the nuns have purified themselves and are very distancing from the men. Knowing there were men especially so young, they became worried.
Sung Han did not care about the leader of the group, instead he was more interested in the sender of the voice. Then he responds to the greeting of the person with the exertion of energy in anyway.
"I'm sorry if this young one is so presumptuous. But I did have a little business in this temple, more precisely asking for help. Since the ladies are kind and loving nuns, it seems that this young one can be helped."
From inside the temple, came out an old woman who might be fifty years old. Her head was bald and her face was still beautiful with a slight wrinkle. His steps were orderly and smooth, so delicate as if the person was flying. A smile is always on his face.
When he arrived in front of Sung Han, this person said, "My name is Lan Kouw, I happen to be the leader of this temple. What help do you ask us for?" said smooth.
Sung Han saluted and replied, "This brother of mine, I want to leave it to your temple."
...****************...
"So that's it. really poor." Lan Kouw showed a sad expression, as did the other nuns.
"If this is the case, how can we refuse? Never mind, do not hesitate, this sweet sister we will take care of until whenever you want. Even forever if necessary." added the old woman.
Sung Han looked at Yu Ping and stroked his head, "Yu Ping, you will stay here, which is why from now on you should be a–"
"No need!" cut Lan Kouw down quickly, "There's no need to be a nun if he doesn't want to. We are not helping to increase the supply of nuns, let her stay here as one of our sisters" he said.
Sung Han sighed in relief, he lowered his head and looked at Yu Ping's pair of eyes. "I'm sorry." she said slowly.
Yu Ping took a step forward and kissed Sung Han's cheeks, then his forehead. A thing he often did to Yu Ceng to calm the woman down when her pain relapsed.
"You don't apologize, let me stay here and finish your business" he said with a smile. The first smile Sung Han had seen since his brother's death.
Sung Han's heart was heartless, wanting him to take this girl and take care of her to a large extent, becoming her guardian if she were to marry a young man. But destiny says something else. It was already his destiny for him and Yu Ping to part ways here. He could not continue with Yu Ping to fulfill Yu Ceng's request. This was all Sung Han could do to take care of the girl.
Sung Han hugged Yu Ping, sinking his face onto his tiny shoulder. "You mustn't be naughty here, don't trouble these ladies. Sweep the yard in the morning, clean the temple, help the work of your sisters. Don't spoil!"
Although it sounded like commanding, Yu Ping was able to hear every sentence Sung Han said by holding down sobs. Yu Ping smiled slightly and hugged Sung Han back, stroking his back.
"Hahaha, don't you think I'm a fussy girl! Of course I'll do what I can, do whatever I'm told. If I can do it of course." in his cheerful tone, Yu Ping tried to comfort Sung Han.
Sung Han took off Yu Ping embrace and kissed his forehead for a moment, then got up and rubbed his head.
"Miss Lan Kouw, I leave Yu Ping behind" he said to the old woman with a nod of her head.
"Well Yu Ping, you meet your sisters. Be familiar and keep your manners."
"Ihhh...Are you my mother? Why would you want to arrange me? I also understand that. Now go do your job!" exclaim the girl while pouting.
Sung Han couldn't help but smile, after peeping Yu Ping's forehead once more, he left without turning his head again.
"When will I stop by" he said a little further.
After Sung Han went far away and lost sight, Yu Ping fell to his knees and cried as he pleased. Covering his face with both hands but still there are tears coming out of the sidelines of the fingers so swift tears.
Now he really doesn't have anyone anymore. Only these nuns can make family. Lan Kouw and a few nuns came over to comfort her, but after three days Yu Ping stopped crying and let her two sisters go.
Sung Han did say so, but until the passing of the years, Yu Ping had never heard a voice let alone seen his figure. Sung Han never came back and I don't know when he'll be back.....
