The Adventure of the Kecapi
Chapter 40

"Sister Lin, shut up and listen to dad's story!" Sin Lan rebuked his sister.

 Sin Yang smiled at Sin Lin's question even though his eyes were still imagining sadness.

"Indeed, it was true, when it was me and Siauw Eng used to love each other. Loving is not a bad thing, it is not something that is inappropriate or worth hiding. Indeed, at that time, Siauw Eng and I considered us to be their respective candidates. However, later the king's city was invaded by enemy forces and the Emperor was rushed to the south. Among those who defended and saved the Emperor was Siauw Eng. When the Emperor was killed plunging into the sea, and many officers and warriors were killed defending the Emperor, word spread that Siauw Eng was also killed. For a year I mourned, it was not at all thought that Siauw Eng disappeared because he was a hunted enemy kingdom so forced to hide himself disguised as a comfort woman by using a lute that we used to play while brsama. Well, that's when I met Kim Xie who is also a swordsman. We are married and have two children, namely Sin Lan and Sin Lin who were born different.One was a midget and the other was skinny. Only then did I hear that Siauw Eng was not dead and became a singer.": the story of Sin Yang, the man took a deep breath and took it out slowly.

Hua Li and Sin Yang's two sons listened carefully while eating a small meal in front of them. After tenag returned, Sin Yang retold what he knew.

"But I have no regrets because I have become someone else's husband, even feel grateful that Siauw Eng is still alive. Maybe he also heard that I had married Kim Xie and he had deliberately never come to see me. I know his wise character. Well, thus, my children and you are also Li'er, my history so of course I was very surprised when I saw the harp." said Sin Yang who ended the story.

"I can understand why my uncle married someone else because he thought that my late mother, who was the future wife of my uncle, was dead. If I may ask, where is my uncle's wife named Kim Xie?" asked the curious Hua Li.

Sin Xie let out a long breath.

"It was my bad luck. When Sin Lan and Sin Lin were ten years old, their mother was killed while fighting the Mongols. He was among the warriors who were considered rebellious and hostile to the Mongol Empire. He managed to kill many soldiers, but eventually died. I had time to save the children and we fled here." explained Sin Yang.

 "Dad never wanted to tell me who was the commander who led the army that killed my mother!" Sin Lin said with a curious tone.

"Tell me too, what can you do? The commander killed your mother not because of personal hostility. He represents the Mongol Empire so the one who killed your mother is the Mongol Empire." Sin Yang explained.

"Dad said the truth" said Sin Lan.

"It would be good if we knew his name" continued the midget.

"The commander was a high-headed man, also he was a great commander who led hundreds of thousands of soldiers. His name is Commander Lim Bao."

"Ohh......!" hua Li exclaimed in such shock that without realizing it he issued the appeal.

Sin Yang and his two sons looked at him with curiosity.

"Miss, do you know Lim Bao?" asked Sin Yang who furrowed his two eyebrows.

"Very well know him, uncle! in fact, several times I have been hostile and clashed with him and his accomplices. For me, Lim Bao is a vile and cunning evil but also dangerous. If I had the chance, I would have wanted to kill him. I was not long ago a prisoner. It's still a good thing I can save myself." Hua Li replied.

 "Well, that's interesting!" shouted Sin Lin.

"Miss Hua, tell me what you've been through while hostile to Lim Bao, my mother's killer!" sin Lin was very interested in Hua Li's story.

Hua Li recounted his experience killing Lim Bao's son and Kun Hok's son, and then he and Liu Ceng confronted Lim Bao and his accomplices in the fight for the treasure of Sung Kingdom.

"The treasure map is the relic of Commander Liu Bok who was also killed by Lim Bao and Cui beng. The map was left to her son Liu Ceng" Hua Li said.

"Ah, I've heard of the great name Liu Bok who used to be the commander of the Sung Kingdom. I still remember that his toy science rarely met a match" Sin Yang said.

"Lim Bao killed him. This one commander seems to want to eradicate all patriot-spirited warriors." continued Sin Yang.

"Miss Hua, then what about the map?" ask Sin Lan.

"Miss Hua, do you and Liu Ceng want to get the treasure?" asked Sin Lin.

"Sister Lin, don't be so presumptuous!" reprimand Sin Lan and her sister Sin Lin pouted.

Hua Li smiled.

"Absolutely not, brother Lin. We are looking for the treasure with the intention that if it is found we will leave it to the rightful as the late Commander Liu Bok willed." Hua Li explained.

"Who has the right to receive the treasure?" ask Kui Lin.

"According to Liu Ceng, his father wanted the treasure to be used for the cost of the fighting forces that tried to subvert the Mongol colonial government" Hua Li replied.

"Good job! Until Liu Bok's death remained a patriot warrior, even his shortness of soul was passed down to his son!" Sin Yang praised.

"Then what, Miss Hua? Did you find the treasure?" asked the curious Sin Yang.

"Before we found the treasure spot according to the map clues, we had fallen into the hands of Lim Bao and his men and we were taken captive" Hua Li replied.

"Ah, motherfucker Lim Bao!" yelled Sin Lin while clenching his fists in anger.

"Sister Lin, let Miss Hua continue the story," Sin Lan denounced her sister.

"Because Lim Bao threatened to kill Liu Ceng's younger cousin Liu Hong, so Liu Ceng was forced to hand over the map to Lim Bao to save Liu Hong's cousin Liu Ceng's sister who had been held captive before" Hua Li explained.

"Oh, it is fitting to be the son of Swordsman Liu Bok!" said Sin Yang, happy to hear the dashing people who he admired long ago.

 "Well, who is Liu Hong, who is Li'er? Is he also a warrior?" asked the curious Sin Yang.

"Yes, uncle. Liu Hong was a shrewd swordsman as well. He was a disciple of Ban Tok, the master of Snake Island." Hua Li replied.
