Swordsman Without Friends
The maling donkey and the killer.
Rain still falls to water the earth even though it is not as strong as before. the water flowing into the streets and reddish color is seen carrying some small pieces of bone flesh and sand mixed with mud that also dragged the current to disappear at the end of the rocky road.
The atmosphere is calm and cold. a sweet-cheeked girl named Rara Cempluk still quietly leaned on the horse carriage wheel and shivered while holding the body of her father Ki Teratai Wulungijo and a young man the only member of the Green Lotus escort service the ones who are still alive.with great difficulty the girl can pull their bodies in her lap.
The fifteen-year-old girl's body trembled not only because of the rain and cold, but also because of a very terrible event that she had never heard of or even imagined in her nightmares. when the body of the 'Pair of Weasel Pose' was crushed tingling was hit by his opponent's powerful punch. splashes of blood and pieces of flesh bones of the two evil women had passed through it.
Even if only a glance but the smell of rancid accompanied by the smell of charred meat that had smelled the nose as if it could not be lost from his memory.I don't know how many times the contents in his stomach vomited dirtying his clothes, and his nose, as if it could not be lost from his memory. I don't know how many times the contents in his stomach was vomit his clothes, until now there was nothing else he could get out.
If previously he always felt like participating in the experience of traveling in escorting goods, now all the girl feels is horror and regret.This is an exciting and fun adventure that he always imagined. is this the way of life of the martial, kill kill mercilessly.?
Rara Cempluk hopes this is all just a nightmare and can soon wake up from her sleep, but unfortunately, the reality is still unchanged. the bodies of his brothers in the Green Lotus and the carcass of the chariot-pulling horse remain sprawled with blood on the wet ground.
Six yellowish-colored medicinal grains that fell on his lap resuscitated him from the sinister shadow that filled his memory. I don't know in what way the pale lame man in black clothes can make the two people who fainted on his lap realize with just a few shots of his iron stick.
''As soon as you eat two grains of the medicine, the wounds of the three of you are rather severe that you need to rest long enough.although the medicine can heal the deep wounds quickly, but it can heal quickly, but it still took some time to recover as before, the young man said in a stiff and cold voice.
After taking the medicine given by the limp young man who was Pranacitra was also launched his blood flow, within a drink of tea then the three people were able to rise even though clearly still look limp and pale to withstand the pain.
''Thank you young swordsman for all your help to us. I Ki Teratai Wulungijo the owner of the 'Green Lotus' service feels very indebted to you. somehow I am to repay your bud..'' said the father of Rara Cempluk bowed respectfully followed by his daughter and his men named Pujo Satriman.
The young man glanced for a moment. ''I don't know where your escort is headed, but your carriage towing horse is dead. Besides, even though it can stand and walk, but your inner strength has not recovered properly. then how do you continue the journey.however it has become an obligation and duty of the Green Lotus association..''
The three people looked at each other. Actually Ki Lotus Wulungijo had also thought about this problem and he became confused because he did not know the way out. Pranacitra sighed again. ''Hhm., I'm finally bothered, you guys wait here. before it gets dark I'll be back..''
If only his son did not ask, it was possible that Ki Teratai Wulungijo would also not be reminded of someone with all his football that aims at the heart. the look on the old man's face suddenly turned horrified until he didn't know whether to answer his daughter's question or not, because if it's true that the young man is the same person as his shadow., perhaps the three of them were currently together with a demon that was far more dangerous than a Pair of Dandy Weasels.!
Had crossed Ki Teratai Wulungijo's mind to immediately get out of there, but he paused himself. "Aaish., let's just die. anyway we do have a debt of life with that young man. After all, if he wants to kill the three of us what we can do.." he lamented in his heart, while outside he spoke another.
''Have not thought otherwise.we better try to settle our control items, also collect the bodies of the members.'' he said full of sadness.the three of them put their energy into doing everything. the sense of loss of those close by made their tears drip.
Intentions want to clean everything up, but for a while the third energy has been drained. moreover there are some bones of their joints that are broken due to the fight. eventually all three can only sit down slumped against the wheels of the horse carriage. the rain had stopped for a long time but the sky had darkened.from the end of the road there were animal footprints approaching the place.
''Dad see, is not it our helper who came.'' whispered Rara Cempluk saw a young man leading two donkeys. ''It was indeed him, but where did he get the two donkeys and for what.?'' muttered Pujo Satriman while walking in a warm welcome. ''I can only get an old donkey.I get it from the nearest village.although it is slow and not strong ridden but still able to pull a freight train..''
''In case everything is done you have to compensate the owner of these two old donkeys.I'm just a poor tramp. for not being able to afford it, well, I just stole it. although the owner was a rich man in the village but do not make him lose.'' said the young man, while talking quickly he moved dozens of corpses of Green Lotus members on the cart.
''As your protection while on the way, I planted the flag of the former 'Devil Archway' party belonging to a Pair of Dandy Weasels on the side of the front wagon. If anyone intends to bypass control they will think again. but remember, after arriving at your destination immediately destroy the black flag. never intend to keep it unless you want to be able to mampus.!''
The three people were aghast.at the end of the tone of speech this limp young man felt full of killing intent.His pair of eyes rippled like a bloodthirsty demon.The nape and their hearts goosebumps saw him. ''Baa., good young swordsman. I will definitely do all your messages. if you don't mind can we know who you are.?'' finally Ki Lotus Wulungijo asked as well.
''I'm just a maling donkey and a killer.'' replied the young man grinned cynically. While turning his body he began to move away with his limp footsteps creeping like worms. from his mouth came the whistling sound of a song that rhymed with a pitiful heart.
If Rara Cempluk just stupefied do not understand the other case with her father and Pujo Satriman who have more experience. they now know with whom they have met. ''Ter., ternya.., ta mem., indeed he.'' muttered Ki Lotus Wulungijo was horrified. while Pujo Satriman had fallen down with pale face pias. ''Dii., he., he's here. pan., it's worth a Pair of Dandy Weasels killed in his hands..''
''Hey., hey, who are you guys talking about.who is that young man, do you know him., Dad., Pujo., why just shut up. hurry up and answer my question.!'' grumbled Rara Cempluk was curious, but they just silently shook their heads. Sometimes they don't know anything better and safer than to understand something but threatened with life. because the person who has just passed it is one that should not be talked about let alone known by the class of lowly fighters like them.
