A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 37 – The Bald
Heartbroken and full of regrets, Sung Han buried the woman's corpse with his potluck. He gave a small stone to make a gravestone and he prayed for a while there.
The woman's condition was very sad, completely naked without a single outfit. When Sung Han arrived, he saw that his head was no longer intact. You know what happened before.
After he finished praying, he stood up and left. But at that time Sung Han was confused, about to continue heading west across the river, or in the other direction.
Because of this concern, he decided to go to the nearest village or city first.
He walked north, following the flow of the river. Sometimes he stopped just to drink or eat meat from forest animals. A day later, he arrived in a small village.
When he entered the village, he was startled by a little boy who ran around and hit him. He fell down, but as if not seeing Sung Han, the boy again ran towards one direction.
"Hm?"
Sung Han frowned looking at the purpose of the boy. A very crowded house visited by the villagers. Out of curiosity, Sung Han finally chose to join the crowd. He slipped and briefly reached the crowd.
Seen in the front room of the house, some people tried to calm down a middle-aged man who was crying hysterically. Sung Han's vegetables were able to hear the man's roar and he was shocked.
"It's been one day that my daughter's gone, how can I calm down?" he turned to one person who tried to calm down.
Hearing this Sung Han became very interested. He looked more closely at the man and his heart was pounding.
"Like that girl!" he said inwardly as he remembered the face of the dead woman with half her face shattered.
Sung Han split through the crowd and unhappily climbed the stairs to get inside the house. As Sung Han casually walked into the house, many people tried to stop him. But seeing the sword on his waist, immediately people stepped aside because they knew that this young man was a martial.
Arriving in front of the host, the man looked confused. He looked at Sung Han questioningly. So did the three people who had calmed that person since.
"Mention the characteristics" Sung Han said briefly.
The four people were wide-eyed, let alone the middle-aged man, he was wide-eyed. Seeing Sung Han's appearance, he felt there was hope, then he quickly dropped down prostrate at Sung Han's feet.
"Hope master swordsman to help this servant." he said heartily, "The daughter of the servant has not come home one day."
"Wake up!" tukas Sung Han and touched the man's two shoulders. As a result, there was a sort of sucking energy that forced the man to rise to his feet.
"Tell me!" sung Han said.
This man let Sung Han sit down and immediately told him. Yesterday morning, the daughter went to one of the villages to sell their crops. But during the day and even into the night, his daughter did not come home.
This man is still thinking positively about his daughter's night on the road and may be resting in a cave or riverbank. But until this morning, he didn't come home either. Begin various kinds of bad thoughts to enter his mind.
"She's my only daughter and my only friend in this house. Help me master swordsman" he said in his words at the end of the story.
Until here, Sung Han was more and more convinced that the daughter of that person was the woman he buried not long ago. He wants to tell the truth but not the truth. He thought, not to think of the next plan, but to think of the most appropriate way to reveal his daughter to the man.
Suddenly, there were two men dressed as Sung Han– in silat expert clothes, entering the house. He turned to Sung Han who was immediately replied by Sung Han.
"Who are these two friends if I may know?" ask Sung Han politely.
The two men exchanged lyrics for a moment then the young man who was the same age as Sung Han replied first, "I am Yu, and she is my senior her name is Mi."
"My name is Sung Han." said Sung Han before continuing, "The two of you are trying to help the difficult person as well?"
Yu nodded, "Right, and we have important information for you, Sung Han's best friend."
"No need to hesitate, just call me my name." - Sergeant Sung Han.
"Alright," Yu nodded. "Sung Han, that yesterday we saw a bald man roaming the region, maybe he was the one responsible for the loss of this master's daughter."
Sung Han was confused, "The bald one?" tanyanya.
"Eh, you don't know? I thought you knew even more than us." Mi chimed. He then showed a picture that made Sung Han shocked, "He's exactly the same as in this picture you brought."
"That's it..."
"So it fell when you broke through the crowd forcing your way in here." Yu said as he grabbed the paper from Mi's hand and returned it to Sung Han.
"He's one of the higher-ups of the Demon Heart." Mi added.
"I know, that's why I'm looking for him."
Yu and Mi looked at each other for a moment, then heard Mi say, "She's running towards the north."
This young man and the host and some people who heard him were shocked. They looked at Mi with incredulous looks.
"Certainly that?" Sung Han and the host spoke almost simultaneously.
Mi nodded, "Yes, we made sure of that. To be honest, we did not intervene because we were aware of our own abilities, so we followed where he would go after stopping in this village. After some time, we saw he was heading to the town of Talas in the north there."
Sung Han looked at the picture fixedly and squeezed it lightly. Then he rolled it back up and put it in a pocket under the cloak.
"Thank you for your information." Sung Han got up. Before leaving, he looked back for a moment to look at the middle-aged man, "Uncle, is your daughter wearing a green earring in the middle of which there is a carved rose river?"
The man looked surprised once, then got up and replied quickly, "Really.....ah, did the master swordsman have met him? Where is he?"
Sung Han sighed, it was really bad to say this but what can I do. Instead of lying and even causing long problems, he chose to be honest.
"In the forest south of here, about a day's journey, I buried his body" he said, pausing briefly when he heard the man's call. "She's dead, raped people. His face is no longer intact. Look around the forest, the graves are new, sheltered among the bushes."
Before actually leaving, he turned around and showed the picture of the bald man. "I suspect this person is the culprit. Hearing from the testimony of the two friends, I was more and more convinced. Uncle, I'll hunt him down until I can."
After saying so, without looking again he passed away from the village. Leaving the host who had fainted was so shocked.
While the two people named Yu and Mi looked at each other. There were strange looks also curious in their eyes. But both of them shrugged their shoulders and went along.
