Chapter 648 Rock
” What?” Su Wan was stunned, she looked at Lin Yan and Lin Jing, only now did she realise why the crowd was shouting in front of her house. ” You are…” her eyes trained on their torn clothes and her eyes started to sting, ” Did they make things difficult for you two?””It’s all right,” said Lin Yan as he brushed the blood off his busted lip and stifled a yelp. ” We saw they were trying to break open the door so we stopped them, big brother was the one who took the full burnt as he was the one who chased them away I just helped him out but the crowd wasn’t happy and they fought with us a lot, it wasn’t until Brother Jing roared that he will call the Yamen officers on them for making things difficult for their fellow villagers on the basis of unproven superstition that they backed off but we did receive a lot of damages by then.”
Lin Jing didn’t say anything as he walked to Su Wan and patted the top of her head. ” It wasn’t your fault don’t even think about it, someone is trying to take advantage of the situation to either chase us out of the village or make us suffer like they did in the old times.”
” What do you mean?” asked Su Wan as she watched Lin Jing drag his feet to the well sitting under the shed of the front house and pull a bucket full of water. The latter poured all the water on top of his head before wiping away the blood that was trickling down the scratches and whatnot as he answered, ” I have asked around Hui Qing’s husband was an alcoholic, he was used to drinking morning, evening and night.”
“In fact, he drank like it was his job, it was a given that he would have died sooner or later but someone seemed to have given him a little push from the past few days the guy was simply drinking as if he has hit a jackpot, he drank all day long without a single gap, its no surprise that he died even Doctor Gu said that the death happened because the man drank too much and his liver couldn’t take it anymore but the villagers are just bent in believing that it happened because you and she got in a fight.”
Then he sat down on the bucket upside down and looked at Lin Chen with eyes full of blame and said, ” Didn’t I say that you have to keep Wan Wan at home? Why was she out there when I told you not to take her out?”
Lin Chen lowered his head as he silently took the blame, he should have known that this will happen after his brothers return home.
” Don’t blame him,” said Su Wan biting her lips. ” I was the one who was stubborn I wanted to go out and see my fields, all right? They received so much damage and I was just——”
” Just what?” This was the first time Lin Jing was mad at Su Wan, she was so used to putting herself in danger because of her stubbornness that he has lost count and this time was different, they had the entire village after their backs and with nowhere to run to, what would he have done if he returned home a minute too late and the house was already broken in? His wife really scared the shit out of him! ” I have never said anything to you, Wan Wan, I know it’s our fault that we can’t protect you well enough but the least you could do is listen to us, how do you expect us to protect you when you don’t do that? Last night you chased after Feng Zihang’s wife without caring about a single person and this morning too, you knew how much trouble that the Feng guy has pulled in for us and yet you still went ahead and left the protection of the house? Did you even think what would have happened?”
” At least wait until all of us our home, that field wouldn’t have run away anywhere! It’s still there, even if it goes bad I will buy three fields like that for you but you, you are more important than a melon field, understand?”
Su Wan felt her eyes burn as tears prickled her eyes as she stubbornly shot back, ” I have done not a thing wrong! Why should I be the one hiding in the house? It’s them, it’s definitely them who made this whole mess so they should be hiding not me!”
Lin Jing sighed as he stood up from his seat and walked to Su Wan before planting his hands on her shoulders, ” You know when I started to hunt? The night I received this scar from the wolves? I thought I was in the right and the wolves who were attacking us were wrong after all a protector can’t be wrong right? I thought I could take them on, because I was right and they were wrong and that was the biggest mistake of my life, I could have lost an eye and been done with my life if not for letting someone else protect me. I am not saying that you are weak, not even the slightest bit am I enunciating that but those people are wild wolves they will tear you up, not because you are wrong but because they only see one choice in front of their eyes… if you want to live then there is nothing wrong with letting me protect you, all right?”
Su Wan looked at those big bear eyes that were as vicious as a brown bear on the hunt but while talking to her there was a subtle softness to them, and he was silently pleading as well. She couldn’t say no now can she, “All right, I will stay at home until everything——-“
It happened so fast that Su Wan didn’t even get a chance to see what happened exactly one moment she was standing still and the next Lin Jing swooped her up by her waist with blood dripping down his head.
