Broken Sword's
Ch. 17: Deliberately Ignoring

Being caught going out of the house without permission, Aira and Gana do not leave Fang again. Brought together as the two of them worked, the bored Fang gouged out a snail on the outskirts of the rice field. Fang's fleshy pair of hands were so straightforwardly scraping through the mud to catch the groceries!

Boiled conch what a good stir-fry?

About Baramun. The devil knows what to do if hungry, find your own food!

Baramun who waited until noon stiffened. His stomach was already wrapped around the pain because he had not eaten from morning. Swallowing bitter saliva, Baramun hobbled, collecting mushrooms or fruit that could be chewed raw. That kid must have accidentally not come!

Gana who is sultry has taken off her top clothes, under the blazing sun the body of Gana's gravy bent to plant rice seeds. Aira also did the same thing, the difference is that the land that the woman planted was smaller than Gana's.

Fang who all day collecting conch increasingly could not stand. It's too hot and he wants a cold drink. "Mom, I'm going to Uncle Buwin's house." After saying that Fang immediately left and did not wait for a response.

"Ck, the bigger the child the harder it is to manage." Gana who would forbid was speechless because her son's butt ran very fast.

***

The Buwin family estate was planted yesterday. Relieved not to work under the hot sun constantly, Buwin is now relaxing on a rocking chair and smoking.

"Uncle Buwin! Uncle Buwin!"

Fang's distinctive call sounded in front of the door. Buwin put out the fire on his cigarette and opened the gate of the house. Fang's fat body was sweating to the point that the entire outfit was wet.

"Come in. You alone?"

Fang who was given permission to enter held Buwin's left thigh. "Dad and mom are still busy in the rice fields. Uncle, is there a watermelon? Can I have one?"

Buwin laughed loudly. Pinched Fang's cheeks which he was fond of eating. "Es watermelon also exists. You wait"

Buwin walks into the house followed by Fang, "Auntie's not home?"

"Your aunt and sister went to the relatives' house. Stay and just come home the day after." Buwin said and handed Fang a bowl of watermelon ice to eat.

"Uncle, why aren't you my father? Everything in your house is delicious!"

Buwin's stomach is shaking. Gana would burn with anger if she knew what Fang said.

As if to read Buwin's mind, Fang who finished the watermelon ice pulled the end of Buwin's clothes, "don't say anything to dad. He's noisy when he's too sensitive."

***

Baramun has a pale face. The mushrooms eaten may be poisonous mushrooms. His stomach hurts. Unpleasant smells begin to smell, possibly poisoning!

Washing underwear in the river, Baramun whose legs are still limping begins to yearn for a comfortable life in the Droid valley. The little waiter will serve every need, no matter what a piece of clothing to wash yourself!

"Damn!"

Back hiding among the shrubs, Baramun eats sour berries that he doesn't like. Most war generals die fighting the enemy but he may be the saddest. Starve to death or from food poisoning!

For a week Baramun lived in the underworld. The demon warrior he let back should already be in the Droid valley to report directly to king Kuro.

May his king find the irregularities and send help to pick him up. A piece of his horn was missing, his leg was broken and it was hard to walk, then magic was useless here. Baramun was unable to take out his two wings to fly back.

On the opposing side, Fang, who plays at Buwin's house, accompanies the village chief in his study. A resident came to ask for help with a letter sent by his son who was married far away.

Fang who was held by Uncle Buwin read half the letter and his expression became strange. This was not a newspaper telling the news, but rather asking her parents to sell their possessions to help pay her husband's family debts.

Uncle Buwin who finished reading the paper folded into his original position. "Your son is very good. Living happily with her husband. Although life is a little difficult because you don't eat enough, your daughter only asks for a little baras or grains. Tomorrow you just bring me two medium-sized sacks, I'll make a reply and send them along."

Hearing that her daughter was living well in her husband's family and just wanted to ask for a little rice to add food at home, the sixties couple will come tomorrow with two sacks of raw food.

Fang who knew what was actually written looked towards Buwin. "Uncle you lied.'

Looking down at the child on me, "can you read?"

The unconscious Fang shows a long-hidden tail coming down from Buwin's lap and returning home. "Uncle, I'll go home first. Mom and Dad must have finished work and waited for me to come home to eat together. The drug!"

Can you read or not? Buwin who was left in a dilemma forgot the incident just now and took out a new sheet of paper. The child is not filial! Married a man from another village, never returned to visit his mother and father, instead sent a letter to his parents to sell their property to pay the husband's family debt!

Buwin affixed the points of laws of the lower region. Said in a letter to a child who was found unfilial and difficult for his parents will be arrested and thrown into prison. There was a penalty of beating as many as fifty boards and also expulsion.

The unfilial child is the most hated case. Having a child is not easy. Parents who give birth at an early age mostly die or injure their bodies while struggling to give birth to a baby. Governments touched by parental sacrifices were concerned when reports emerged that some of the adult children were dumping their parents into the forest or stealing collected pensions.

Putting an official stamp. Buwin also wrote down a threat, if they still dare to come to make a scene, that day Buwin as the village head will take the case to court!

***

On the third day, Baramun meets Fang. The fat boy in beautiful clothes half crawled towards Baramun's hideout.

"Do you remember I'm still here?!"

Fang turned the eyeball. "Not to complain. I'm still a kid, it's not my job to be in charge of you!"

Now Baramun himself is ashamed.

As an adult, Fang's words had a point. "Two days conversation. What exactly do you want to tell me?"
