Long Sorrow Song - C101
The sun rose and set. Therefore, when he was hungry, he could only pick wild fruits. Sometimes, when he couldn’t find wild fruits along the way, and when he didn’t recover his internal energy, he could only rely on his luck to find some non-poisonous wild bacteria to cook and eat. “Although she had been walking for many days, Ye Wen’s speed was not too fast. Thus, when she turned around to look, she could still see the Wild Goose Falling Peak.
Every time he looked back and saw the Wild Goose Falling Mountain, Ye Mo Han would want to leave the territory of Hua Mountain quickly. He was afraid that the Hua Mountain Sect’s disciples would recognize him and cause trouble for him, delaying his future plans. In fact, he had never observed himself in the water. In the past year, his hair and face were all messy, and his beard was hanging down to his chest. The current Ye Mo Han was just an ordinary beggar walking in the busy city, so he wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention. Even if Zhang Qingwu brushed past him now, he probably wouldn’t be able to recognize Ye Mo Han.
Sometimes, the change in a person’s appearance was so great that people could not help but sigh.
Ye Mo Han continued to walk in the opposite direction of Mount Hua. When he came across a place he couldn’t find, he would change his direction. However, it was still wilderness. After recovering his strength, he chose to walk in the wilderness. Half a month later, Ye Mo began to practice his Qi in the dark of the night, and the Qi within his body began to slowly accumulate and recover. Ye Mo Han Han guessed that it would take at least half a year for him to fully recover, but after his internal Qi recovered, Ye Mo Han couldn’t hold it anymore. Ye Mo Han was not in a hurry to find Liu Yi Yi. He was following Ling Mumei’s teachings and needed to be patient. He silently warned himself that he had enough patience when killing Duan Xingyu, and he needed to be patient even more for those who plotted against him. When killing someone, Ye Mo Han could maintain his patience in the dark for a long time, but against this cunning opponent of the Emerald Pavilion, even the slightest negligence on Ye Mo Han’s part might lead to an irreparable consequence. Ye Jianhan could survive a great disaster, but could the heavens give him two chances? No one could guarantee this, nor could they guarantee it.
That night, Ye Wen walked into a wasteland. The reason why it was called a wasteland was because the endless fields had all been abandoned. At that time, the land was valued highly by all forces. As the saying goes, before the army moves, food will flow first. If one side did not have enough land to cultivate food, then the other side would lose without a doubt. Of course, the ones who valued the land the most were the commoners. The people ate like the sky, and this had been the case since ancient times. Regardless of whether or not the land was barren or not, the ruler could extort and subdue the people without many reasons. If the ruled were to meet a good ruler, they would be able to live a happy life. However, if they were to meet a violent person, they would have to resign themselves to the will of the heavens. There were truly too few people on this earth who could control their own destiny.
Ye Han no longer had any traces of Mount Hua. He continued to move forward amidst the grass, his thoughts in a mess. He didn’t have the heart to be a hero, but he also wanted innocent people to live happy lives. Ye Mo Han understood that Ling Mumei’s words were correct. If he were to rule over a region, the people under his rule would most likely die because of his personality. Just from this, Ye Mo Han knew that it was not suitable for him to fight against the other major powers. For people in troubled times, it was good that they could survive, but being warm and full was secondary.
At dusk, Ye Wen Han also did not walk out of that barren field, but he could already see the border. Beyond the wasteland, there was a grand house. Ye Mo Han thought back to when he first met Liu Yiyi. She wanted to kill him in a dilapidated mansion, and when he thought of Liu Yiyi, he couldn’t help but smile. At this time, perhaps she was sad that he had died, and his sudden appearance wouldn’t scare her. Ye Chanhan really wanted to know which area of influence he was in right now. Or rather, he wanted to confirm whether or not he had left the Hua Shan Sect’s territory, so he was determined to go to the house to stay the night. In the past year or so, Ye Wen had not eaten any rice noodles and had to rely on wild fruits to feed his hunger. Thus, when he thought of delicious food, he could not help but speed up his pace.
The manor was not very big, but the renovations at the entrance were still considered impressive. The two Qilins at the entrance were glaring at Ye Mo Han. The words’ Lu Family ‘were written in gold on a plaque above the red lacquer gate. Ye Mo Han walked up to the door and knocked on it a few times. But before he could shout out, the door opened from the inside. A servant stuck his head out, looked at Ye Mo Han, and sternly scolded him, telling Ye Mo Han to scram further.
Ye Wen Han caressed his face, knowing that many servants judge people by their appearance, so he was not upset, and decided to become a beggar instead, feigning pity: “This big brother, all this way is a wilderness, please do me a favor and give me some leftovers.”
The servant’s face was filled with loathing as he scolded Ye Mo Han, “Scram quickly. In this chaotic world, it’s already good enough for us to eat. How would we have the ability to help you victims?”
“Lu Kun, who are you talking to there?” A sweet, slightly reproachful voice from behind the door.
“Miss, he’s a beggar. I’ll send him away.” The servant who was called Lu Kun turned around and smiled apologetically, then moved to close the door.
Ye Mo Han quickly took a step forward and pushed open the door a bit. Lu Kun was enraged and raised his leg to kick him. Although Ye Chanhan had only recovered a little of his power, it was more than enough to deal with a servant who did not have a martial arts foundation. “When Lu Kun lifted his leg, Ye Chanhan pushed down with his left hand and pushed with his right elbow, pushing Lu Kun behind him. Naturally, the red lacquer door opened wide.
The yard was brightly lit. A young woman around the age of seventeen or eighteen looked at Ye Mo Han in shock. Perhaps this was the first time she had seen a beggar barge into her house. The woman’s eyes were wide and bright, causing Ye Mo Han to feel a bit ashamed of himself. Lu Kun crawled up from the ground and cursed loudly, but he did not dare to rashly approach Ye Mo Han. He stood in front of the woman and said: “Miss, quickly leave. This beggar has a lot of strength. Don’t let him hurt you.”
He then said to the two of them, “Please forgive me, but I am a merchant who escaped after being robbed by a bandit. If I am not fleeing into the wilderness, then I am in the depths of the mountains.
The woman nodded and pushed Lu Kun away, saying, “Then go and prepare some delicious food for this uncle of yours, and then prepare a clean room for him.”
Lu Kun was stunned and said, “Miss, we should report this to the Lady or the Young Noble. After all, it’s hard to predict one’s thoughts. If we were to casually accept such a person, it would be detrimental to our Lu Family.”
“I’ll talk to him. Bring him to dinner.” The woman interrupted Lu Kun and walked into the yard.
Lu Kun glared fiercely at Ye Mo Han before walking in front with a cautious heart. Ye Mo Han followed far behind. The courtyard wasn’t too big, but it wasn’t small either. The scenery was quite beautiful and it was only slightly inferior to Uncle Dan and Gongsun Yuxia’s courtyard. Ye Mo Han thought of Miss Lu calling him uncle, and couldn’t help but reach for his beard, which was about to fall off his chest, and couldn’t help but laugh.
From the outside, the mansion did not seem that big, but walking inside made it seem very wide. Lu Kun kept showing loathing for Ye Mo Han. Ye Mo Han only pretended not to see him and followed behind him at a moderate pace. During this time, they met another servant. Lu Kun called him over and whispered a few words into his ear. Then, he brought Ye Mo Han to a abandoned house.
“You sleep here tonight.” Lu Kun said with pride. Someone will send you food and drink later. If you have enough to eat, then get some rest and get out of here tomorrow. ”
If it was before, Ye Mo Han definitely wouldn’t have let him off so easily. Now, Ye Mo Han only glanced at the door filled with spider webs and smiled as he thanked Lu Kun. The sincerity on Ye Mo Han’s face confused Lu Kun. To think that he would sincerely thank him for being like this. If this kind of person was not holding a grudge or was crazy, Lu Kun would not be able to figure it out in a short while. He waved his hand to let Ye Mo Han enter and quickly left. Regardless of whether Ye Mo Han was crazy or not, Lu Kun didn’t dare to stay in front of him for too long.
Pushing the door open, the room wasn’t too big. There were tables, chairs, and even a bed. It was just that no one had lived here for too long, and there was a thick layer of dust on top of it. Ye Mo Han didn’t really care about this. In the past year, he had either slept on the ground or slept on a rock. A bed was already extravagant, so how could he care about the dust on it? Not long after Ye Mo laid down, the servant who he had met on the way brought him four cold steamed buns and a pot of water. He placed them on the table and left by himself. When the leaf was cold and hungry, he picked it up and ate it. The steamed buns were cold and hard, but the food was very fragrant. In addition to the steamed buns under the pot, Ye Wen felt that they were even more delicious than fine wine.
