33: Chapter 33 Ghosts 33: Chapter 33 Ghosts “Our Teacher Du has made it very clear, she belongs to our Wanbao Village! You people trying to take her over, it’s impossible! If you don’t leave us today, don’t blame me for being rude! The people behind me are all supportive, they stand behind me not for personal gain or weighing options, but for the heartfelt resolve we have to defend our land! A true resolve!” Liu Hun had not been well-educated or attended much school. These words came from the bottom of his heart, because this is Wanbao Village, the place where he was born and raised! “Well spoken, even I was almost moved! Kid, you haven’t had much schooling or read many books, but you speak quite well! However, I have only one thing to say, since you won’t hand her over, don’t blame us for being impolite!” Sun Xing said coldly, and the men standing behind him immediately charged forward. As the men charged over, Fen Ran smiled at the corner of her mouth, “Girl, don’t be scared. This is the capable man of our village. With him here, no difficulty is a problem!” One man wielding a wooden stick struck down towards Liu Hun. Liu Hun didn’t dodge or flinch, he raised his left hand, and with the “snap~” of the stick, it immediately broke in half. Blood sprayed out, and one man fell down. Liu Hun swiftly dodged a few more strikes. He charged into the crowd alone, and anguished screams followed. Visible to the naked eye, one of Sun Xing’s teeth was knocked out by Liu Hun’s fist, along with a streak of blood, and buried into the ground. The first, the second, the third, in an instant, none of the men Sun Xing brought had a good look on their faces. “Good, hit them!” “Go for it, beat the crap out of them, so satisfying! Really clean these youngsters up!” “Beautiful, Liu Hun indeed! Let these old things taste our prowess, let them know we’re not to be trifled with!” ... Many villagers of Wanbao Village increasingly couldn’t see what was happening upfront, and with the dust rising, all they could do was listen to the shrieks coming out of these people’s mouths. “You guys... you’re all men, are you going to let Liu Hun fight these people alone? Where are your faces? Are you even men!” Fen Ran glared. “I’m going!” a villager’s eyes widened, “I’ve even been looked down upon by Fen Ran, damn it, we’re all villagers of Wanbao Village, they’re just a few, what’s there to fear! At worst, we’ll fight them!” A group of villagers grabbed their tools and prepared to join the fray. Now things had really turned up, as these villagers joined the melee, screams and roars awakened this remote small mountain village fully. Before the people could clearly see the battlefield, a man following Sun Xing was thrown out and heavily fell to the ground. “Great! Hahaha, we won, we won! We have won!” Watching the people from Qingquan Village gradually retreat, a villager excitedly hoisted Liu Hun jumping around. Many villagers rushed to join, “Long live Liu Hun, long live! We won!” A thunderous cheer rose within Wanbao Village, fighting alongside Liu Hun not only fired them up but also gave them a taste of real manliness for the first time. Holding onto Du Lingyue, Fen Ran couldn’t close her smiling mouth, she whispered softly: “Did you see everything just now? This is the capable man of our village, the most impressive man in our village.” Du Lingyue didn’t speak, she gently nodded, within this small mountain village, what wasn’t just the unique ambiance of a poor countryside, but also the spirit of solidarity among the villagers deeply affected her. There was no school in the village, naturally, there was also no place where Du Lingyue could stay. She could only stay in the temple. There were only about twenty kids in the village, after Du Lingyue started classes every morning, Liu Hun could hear their clear reading voices. These sounds didn’t disturb Liu Hun but rather gave him a sense of seeing future hope. Every day, the children in the temple ate vegetables grown by Liu Hun himself, very nutritious. Sometimes Du Lingyue also dined with Liu Hun. Although it was just the two of them eating, it could be somewhat awkward. Until evening, when Liu Hun returned from Qin Yue’s house, a day’s work in the fields had exhausted him. Not yet entering the temple gate, Liu Hun smelled an extremely delicious fragrance coming from inside. He gently pushed open the door, Du Lingyue pursed her lips in a smile, “What are you standing there for? Come in.” Liu Hun entered, sitting down on a chair. Du Lingyue brought out freshly made cabbage soup in front of Liu Hun, “Taste this, the food I made this time is much better than before. But even if it isn’t tasty, you’re not allowed to say so!” Liu Hun laughed heartily, he found Du Lingyue was becoming more adorable, yet some words could only be kept in his heart. He picked up the chopsticks on the table, fetched a piece of cabbage leaf, and slowly tasted it, only to be surprisingly aware that this girl’s cooking skills were indeed improving. Just a bowl of cabbage soup made him feel as if he had been hungry for three to four days. “How is it? Tasty?” Du Lingyue held her small face, seemingly waiting for Liu Hun’s compliment. “Mmm, delicious!” Liu Hun gave a thumbs up, he smiled and said, “By the way, why did the person who came here with you suddenly run away? Does he not like it here?” “It’s not like that.” Du Lingyue quietly lowered her head, she didn’t want to bring up this matter, nor speak about it. But since Liu Hun asked, she didn’t avoid it, “Actually, he thought coming here would just be touring around and enjoying. Only when he really found out how poor here is and couldn’t endure the hardships did he run...” Liu Hun watched Du Lingyue’s increasingly downcast look, he knew he had asked something he shouldn’t have. “Don’t just talk about him, by the way, I heard them say that you’re the most capable person in this village. You can treat illnesses, farm, and break feudal superstitions, you’re really amazing.” Du Lingyue giggled, “Besides these, what else can you do?” “This...” Liu Hun felt a bit awkward, as he looked at Du Lingyue’s twinkling eyes, his heart stirred, “Not much really, just a bit better at farming than most people. If... if you could do it, you could achieve it too.” “No wonder, back when I ate cabbage in those restaurants, it always had a weird feeling. Now that you’ve said this, it really comes back to me.” “As long as you find it tasty. This is just the beginning, if these vegetables were sold to those places, our village could soon develop,” Liu Hun mused, feeling that what Du Lingyue said was right.
