Chapter 344: He has lived a wandering life for ten years

Are you kidding me, going out to fight?

He was not giving himself up for abuse.

If she was really looking for a fight, he was not unable to fight.

But to fight a mad woman? That was scary.

Da Hong was on the verge of explosion because of him.

He wasn’t about to lose his mind and come into blows with a mad woman.

In order to secure the benefits he deserved in the future, Wei Lan took advantage of not being thrown out and quickly explained the matter.

In a nutshell –  it was a jar of wine that triggered all the mishaps.

In the end, it was Grandpa Liu who stepped in as the head of the family and calmed Wei Hong down.

“Yan Hong, the matter has been clarified. After your fight just now, your anger should also be almost eliminated. Now, let’s see how you want to solve this matter.” Grandpa Liu was an old man, and some words were inconvenient to say.

Wei Hong was a woman. The two people slept together, but even if nothing happened, the woman would still suffer.

Once a woman’s reputation was tainted, her future life would be greatly impacted. 

Moreover, Wei Hong has lived with their family for nearly a decade. They have long treated her as their own family.

So Grandpa Liu handed the sovereignty over this matter to Wei Hong.

A blatant eccentricity.

Wei Hong’s heart felt warm. The anger she’d been holding the whole morning also lightened a bit.

In fact, when Wei Lan stated that nothing happened, the anger in her heart was eliminated a lot.

As a shadow guard, staying with men together in the same place for several days and nights was common when out on a mission with. After becoming a shadow guard, she almost did not consider herself a woman again.

In their world, they only had to obey orders and go through life and death.

When the grandpa handed the decision to Wei Hong, Wei Lan immediately changed tunes. He revealed a pitiful look and strove for favor. “Da Hong, last night was really an accident. How about we just forget about it? Speaking of grievances, it’s I who have really suffered most. At least, you can be in the Lius’ house and have food and drink peacefully. Look at me. I’ve been squatting all day in the sun and rain outside till I got tanned!”

Looking at the little white face that came up to him, Wei Hong snorted and walked out. “Let’s have another fight. Win or lose, this matter need not be mentioned again!”

“Still fighting?” Wei Lan wailed. He followed her outside, but also turned back to the people in the house. “You guys wait here for a while. I’ll be right back.”

The Lius: “…”

“Nannan, is he really a shadow guard beside Axiu? Why does he look more like a shameless loafer?” Grandma Liu asked.

Liu Yusheng facepalmed, “He is very much like a shameless loafer.”

Feng Qingbai’s shadow guards were wondrous oddballs.

The two people resumed fighting outside.

It was a real fight this time, and Wei Lan didn’t dodge anymore and struck head-on.

The battle was so intense that the neighbors were attracted to the house.

Someone shouted outside the door, “Brother Liu, that’s Yan Hong, right? Why is she fighting with someone?”

Everyone in the village knew that Yan Hong was skilled in martial arts. She usually offered help to the villagers to move and lift stuff, so strong that men couldn’t catch up to her. The villagers unanimously recognized her as a tough woman.

They couldn’t believe someone could compete with Yan Hong, and a powerful character at that.

Grandpa Liu answered in the hall, “It’s okay. Yan Hong is sparring with someone.”

“Then we can watch the excitement!” On the first day of the lunar new year, there was no entertainment for winter cats. Yanhong just provided them a relief from their boredom.

Soon, the voices around the Liu family courtyard became more and more noisy. All the villagers who caught wind of it watched with gusto and burst into cheers from time to time.

The winter cats in the Liu family house hid their faces.

What exactly was going on?

At the start, the two people who really fought against each other and hit the roof were evenly matched.

In the end, it was Wei Lan who felt a little guilty. He suddenly realized that Wei Hong was a woman and painstakingly curbed his strength when striking, avoiding the vital parts of her body.

His refraining bound his hands and feet, and Wei Hong finally kicked him down, making him hit the ground hard.

That impact made even the spectators feel a toothache.

He raised his bruised face and said, “Enough of it. You can hit me, but should have avoided my face. I’m relying on my appearance for support. Know when to stop, Da Hong!”

There was a dull pain on his face. When he touched it, it was swollen. Wei Lan gritted his teeth.

He felt compassion for a woman, but Da Hong was merciless!

Wei Hong flew down from the roof and landed firmly on the ground. She felt satisfied after a cold glance at the face that was totally unrecognizable.

Handsome young man, wasn’t his face delicate? Wasn’t it too conspicuous?

She changed his face to beyond recognition.

After watching the excitement, the people outside also dispersed.

Wei Hong and Wei Lan returned to the house. There wasn’t a speck of dust on Wei Hong, but Wei Lan…it was impossible to express in a few words.

“Elder Master, Elder Lady, the beating has been done, and Da Hong’s anger has subsided. Can I make a small request?” Wei Lan shyly approached the two elderly.

His black and purple face made it hard for anyone to stare directly, despite his flattering smile. Grandpa Liu averted his gaze, “What is it?”

“Can you let me come to the house for dinner in the future? I’ve been out there alone for ten years and been living in the cold! I have no fixed place to live! The money from selling pancakes is not enough to eat a meal of pig trotters a day. Look how thin I am!”

The Lius: “…”

Wei Hong grunted. “Don’t act pitiful here. Compared to ten years ago, you’re at least twenty pounds fatter!”

Wei Lan gave her a sideway glance. This damn woman, was she specializing in pulling the rug under his feet?

“What’s more, if you frequent the Lius, can you still hide your identity from the outside? Even if you can, those who are under orders will be keeping an eye on you. I’m afraid it’s not that easy”

“I can sneak just fine. Just leave me some hot food. I’ve been eating cold dinner leftovers outside everyday! You’ve been purely full all the time, so you know nothing about a man’s hunger. It’s easy for you to stand there and speak! How about we swap? I’ll be the bodyguard in the Lius’ house while you go to the streets and try to sell pancakes, rain or shine!”

The aggression in Wei Lan’s eyes was so intense that it was about to flow out.

He lived a decade of wandering life!

What was the difference between him now and the hawkers on the street, who experienced all the vicissitudes of life?

A handsome and dashing martial artist, heroic and extraordinary,  that was already a tale of the past!

“Come along, there is no shortage of food at home to feed one more mouth. Pay attention when you go in and out.” Grandma Liu sighed. She was just easily moved.

Although Axiu sent the man, and he was Axiu’s subordinate, he did simmer here for ten years. How hard that must be.

Yan Hong stayed at home, so they took care of each other, but Wei Lan had no relatives outside, rendering him almost like a stray.

“Thank you, Elder Lady! You are really a good person!”

Liu Yusheng’s mouth twitched as she listened.

Flattering, acting poor, presenting a nice guy card – he resembled an actor. How did he become a shadow guard in the first place?

Fu Yuzheng blinked innocently when she saw the girl’s questioning eyes.

She only knew that the shadow guards were chosen by the emperor for the King.

As for what the criteria for selection were, there was no longer any way to ask because the late emperor had already ascended to heaven.

Having received an amnesty, Wei Lan spent a wonderful time in the Lius’ courtyard. Even if his master would reproach him later, Grandma Liu already agreed. For the old lady’s sake, his punishment would be lighter.

In order to eat a bite of hot rice and hot soup, what were those pains?!
