Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 011 A ‘Bromantic’ New Year’s Eve

12 Comments

Zhang Junshi was sent out by Nie Bufan to buy New Year goods, which he assigned to his workers as soon as he entered the city.

The worker handed over a letter and said, “Gongzi, this is a letter from the Old Master.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Zhang Junshi opened it and looked for a while, his original gentle expression became a little cold. In addition to asking about the situation of the Xishan City branch restaurent, the letter asked him to prepare to welcome the arrival of the tian nu, and must try his best to win her over.

All the pages of letter paper were about the tian nu, not even a word of concern or care for him. Zhang Junshi skimmed it over and put the letter into a box.

He took out brush and paper, and replied simply to the letter. Zhang Junshi’s father was a very strict man. Although they were a merchant’s family, they had all kinds of strict rules.

He had to learn poetry and etiquette since he was a child, so that he could become an official in the future and glorify his family name. However, Zhang Junshi didn’t want to be an official. After being admitted to jinshi (TN: successful candidate in the highest imperial civil service examination), he was reluctant to go further. Instead, he began to take over the family business and showed extraordinary talent in business.

Father Zhang was furious, and drove him to remote places several times, forcing him to fend for himself, but he was still unable to stifle Zhang Junshi’s ability to make money like the God of Wealth. Even if he had no money, he could find business opportunities. Even penniless he was still able to find opportunities and develop his business step by step.

For example, the branch restuarant in Xishan city was one of the products of his “exile” period.

In the end, although father Zhang compromised, he never recognized Zhang Junshi’s achievements. Until the news of the re-emergence of the tian nu came this time, Father Zhang’s calculations showed up again, using his own life to threaten his son to find a way to marry the tian nu.

You must know that although the tian nu was only a commoner, but was quite valued by the emperor. No matter who married the tian nu, he would recieve great rewards. Of course, the price was one of the three divination chances by the Divining Heavens Palace.

Zhang Junshi helplessly shook his head, and called his workers to take the new year’s goods back to Chicken Nest Village. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a few chickens running to greet him with clucks. His original heavy mood improved slightly. He took a handful of grains from his pocket and sprinkled it out. The chickens first nodded their heads to express their gratitude, before pecking gracefully at their food.

The two workers had strange expressions, but Zhang Junshi was already very used to it.

“I’m back, Bufan.” He shouted.

Nie Bufan’s head poked out from the window and waved his hand: “Come here, there is something good.”

Zhang Junshi walked in curiously.

Nie Bufan handed him a pile of red paper and said, “Write the Spring Festival couplets (TN: the first line of which is pasted on the right side of a doorway at New Year, and the second on the left side), I will post them on all the village houses later.”

Zhang Junshi looked up and found that Li Yi was already working hard at the table. He glanced over and motioned for him to the seat reserved for him.

Zhang Junshi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He first had the workers put the things down before sending them away. Then he walked to Li Yi’s side to see that his writing was powerful and precise, with a strong foundation. His competitive spirit couldn’t help but be aroused and he spread the red paper out, lifted the brush and started writing.

Unlike Li Yi, Zhang Junshi’s words were elegant and graceful, giving people a refined and cultured feeling.

After writing a few words, he was feeling quite cheerful, and the original troubles disappeared without a trace. Looking at Nie Bufan inadvertently, he saw that he was also writing and drawing with a brush. He couldn’t help but lean in curiously to take a look, only to be struck dumb.

“Uh, what are you drawing?”

“Can’t you see it?” Nie Bufan glanced at him contemptuously and said, “This is ‘Abundance year after year’.”

Abundance year after year? Zhang Junshi looked at it carefully, only to see that there was a radish sporting facial features and limbs drawn on the red paper holding a smaller radish that was distorted and out of shape.

Nie Bufan said again: “Look, this is a cute kid holding a big fish, doesn’t it have the meaning that there will be fish every year? (TN: the word for abundance sounds the same as the word for fish in Chinese)”

“……” It turned out to be a radish-like kid holding a radish-like fish.

“Hehe, looking at your expression, I can tell that you have not seen much.” Nie Bufan waved his hand and said, “This is called abstract painting. It breaks the traditional style of realism and uses rich imagination to create. It is derived from reality and is superior to it. It is the pursuit of the highest state of imagination.”

Zhang Junshi now had a different understanding of Nie Bufan’s painting skills.

Li Yi listened to him speaking in such mystical ways, he couldn’t help but also come over to appreciate it, only to remain silent as before, and turned calmly around to continue to write his own words.

Nie Bufan paid them no heed, and continued to waste brush and ink enthusiastically.

After it was all written, they divided the work on pasting the couplets on the village houses.

The originally empty and plain Chicken Nest Village, with these red auspicious words, it suddenly increased in liveliness.

Zhang Junshi and Li Yi appreciated their masterpieces with satisfaction, but were embarrassed when they saw the “New Year paintings” posted on the door. The abstract paintings when put with the exquisite couplets, it was simply hard to look directly at them.

Nie Bufan himself didn’t have any self-awareness at all. This person never knew what shame was.

Well, in fact, these paintings could be used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits with quite effective results.

Zhang Junshi smiled secretly, and Li Yi twitched his mouth.

New Year’s Eve dinner was very rich and sumptuous, with chicken hot pot, chicken meatballs, chicken dumplings, chicken ribs, chicken stir-fry, fish bone chicken soup, etc.

Zhang Junshi warmed up a small jar of wine, one drink per person. Li Yi didn’t say much, but he was in a good mood.

Nie Bufan told a story to the two while eating, not scary, but very embarrassing. For example, the tale A Chinese Ghost Story, was told in this way: “A female ghost fell in love with a Taoist priest but was thrown into reincarnation by a jealous scholar, and was reborn as a chicken.”

“Wait.” Zhang Junshi interrupted, “Why was the scholar jealous?”

“Stupid, because he liked that Taoist priest.”

Zhang Junshi was a little confused: “If I am not mistaken, the Taoist priest should be a man?”

“Yes, what’s the problem?”

“That scholar and Taoist priest are……”

“Bromance, bromance don’t you understand?”

“Bromance……could bromance be referring to the out of the ordinary intimacy between men that goes beyond friendship?”

“You have hit upon the truth.”

“……”

Zhang Junshi lowered his head, suddenly a little absent-minded.

Li Yi glanced at the two of them and ate his meal silently.

Nie Bufan didn’t pay any heed to their expressions, and continued to make up nonsense: “In the past, there was a scholar who never dabbled in the pleasures of the opposite sex, practically the epitome of a gentleman. A fox demon who didn’t believe that there were men in this world who were not horny, used her life pearl in a bet with the carp demon. The bet was to rip through the hypocrisy of the scholar, so she then turned into a beauty to seduce him every night, but never succeeded. In the end she had to admit defeat and hand over the life pearl to the carp demon. The carp demon won the bet and happily went to thank that scholar, and afterwards, afterwards was eaten by the scholar.”

“Eaten?” Zhang and Li said in unison.

“Yup, the carp demon was a handsome male demon.”

Zhang and Li both understood magically. This “eat” was not the same as the other “eat.”

Nie Bufan also added: “When the fox demon learned about it, she vomited a mouthful of blood and died. She died with deep resentment, and in the end reincarnated as a resentful chicken.”

Zhang Junshi: “……”

Li Yi: “……”

It’s cold. (TN: refers to ‘cold jokes’ which got its name from when one hears a cold joke, he shivers in terror instead of laughing because the joke is so bad.)

“There is another story……”

“Don’t tell anymore, don’t tell anymore.” Zhang Junshi desperately added food into his bowl with chopsticks.

“Eat, eat.” Li Yi also desperately added food to Nie Bufan’s bowl.

A New Year’s Eve dinner ended amidst Nie Bufan’s spoof stories.

After they cleaned up, they sat around the fireplace drinking tea and holding night vigil.

When the sound of firecrackers came from the direction of Xishan city, Nie Bufan suddenly reached into his pocket and took out red envelopes for both Zhang and Li, and said with a smile: “Happy New Year, here are big red envelopes.”

Zhang Junshi and Li Yi silently accepted the red envelopes.

“As the village head of Chicken Nest Village, it is necessary to give out red envelopes to the younger generation. You are welcome, please keep it properly.”

The two looked at each other, both not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but their hearts were warm, even if there was just a copper coin in the red envelope……

Zhang Junshi also reached into his chest pocket and took out a piece of crystal clear green jade, handing it to him, and said: “An auspicious New Year to you.”

“For me?” Nie Bufan took it and played and fiddled with it over and over with a bright smile on his face that was enough to overshadow the fire embers in the furnace.

Li Yi saw this and felt uncomfortable, and so he also reached into his chest pocket, but only found the few banknotes, which were still stained with blood. It was unlucky to take them out, so he could only stuff them back silently, thinking about a later opportunity to make it up.

“Why don’t us three lonely people talk all night long on this night.” Nie Bufan suggested, “we can sleep in my bed together.”

During the renovation, Nie Bufan specially widened his bed which now can fit four or five without a problem.

“So long as you don’t tell that kind of story anymore.” Zhang Junshi said with fear.

“Okay, no problem, it will be your turn to talk when it’s time.” Nie Bufan jumped on his bed, rolled a few times, and then beckoned, “Come on.”

Don’t know why but looking at Nie Bufan’s disheveled appearance on the bed, Zhang Junshi and Li Yi got a weird feeling in their hearts. They couldn’t help but think of those stories, bromance and male-male passions……

The two layed next to Nie Bufan on either side, the three of them lined up in a row.

Nie Bufan sighed: “Don’t you feel lonely if you don’t spend the New Year’s Eve with your family?”

The two were silent.

Nie Bufan said again: “I have no relatives in this world, but what about you two?”

The two continued to be silent, but at the same time they held Nie Bufan’s hand comfortingly.

“It’s too depressing, let’s tell a story.”

The both of them let go of their hands at the same time and turned to lie on their sides.

Zhang Junshi said: “Suddenly I feel a little sleepy, let’s go to sleep.”

Li Yi simply began to snore lightly.

Nie Bufan sighed, and mournfully recited: “Being a stranger in a strange land alone, doubly homesick for our dear loved ones on each festive season, this night I think of my homeland a thousand miles away, tomorrow is another year, for no reason I feel reluctance, the candle shed tears until daybreak……”

Zhang Junshi turned around and said seriously: “Let’s just tell stories.”

Li Yi also turned around and deeply agreed.

“You said it.”

Zhang and Li nodded affirmatively and surely.

“Well, let me tell you a tear-jerking story about the white snake repaying kindness……”

……The two pitiful people suffered an entire night of pain.

The side effect being from now on their outlook on life and the world have been completely overturned.

They realized that there was a kind of emotion in this world called bromance, which was a stunning love that transcended the ways of the world, transcended class, transcended race, transcended gender, and transcended time and space.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Nie Bufan, are you a true gay or a fake gay? Are you aware of how to write the phrase “to eat one’s bitter fruit”? (TN: idiom meaning to suffer the consequences of one’s own actions)

May the Buddha bless him.

The Cruel Tyrant

The Cruel Tyrant CH 004 Feiyu

5 Comments

Huang Xuan was stunned, lifted his foot forcefully and walked inside.

A secret fragrance penetrated his nostrils, and the door slowly closed. Huang Xuan’s heart trembled and had no choice but to put on a brave front and walk to the luxurious pure gold bed.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The soft gauze curtains hung to the ground, and the figure on the bed only appeared half visible. The faint harsh breathing and moans that came from behind the curtains made Huang Xuan gradually forget his fear. A wave of heat gradually gathered in his lower abdomen.

He lifted the gauze curtains and saw a scene that would have anyone’s blood rushing in their veins.
.
.
.
Sure enough, after a round, he was all refreshed and alert.

When Su Mu opened his eyes in the morning, he thought of a brilliant idea, and sat up suddenly from the bed. Huang Xuan, who was next to him, was suddenly awakened and hurriedly knelt on the bed, saying with unease: “Your Highness.”

After realizing that he was completely naked, he hurriedly pulled over the bed sheet to cover the most private part. Face flushed red, he lowered his head and from time to time took peeks at the Crown Prince who was also similarly undressed. When he saw Su Mu’s waist, where slight finger shaped bruises were still visible, his face turned even redder.

At this moment, Su Mu felt that the whole world was brighter, everything was seen in a pleasant light. He was even more pleased when his eyes laid on the person who served him the whole of last night, so he threw himself over and grabbed Huang Xuan in a hot kiss.

After the both of them had bodily reactions from the deep kiss Su Mu hurriedly stepped on the brakes. Su Mu bit Huang Xuan’s lip one last time, and moved to whisper into Huang Xuan’s ear, “Babe, you were awesome!”

“Peng” Huang Xuan exploded in embarrassment, face and body blushing completely.

Su Mu jumped out of bed and washed up quickly, and then went to the study where he spread out the paper and used ink and brush to write a plan.

The corners of his eyes and eyebrows curved from excited smiles. Different from the previous Su Mochi’s cruel and vicious aura, Su Mu at this moment was like a shining pearl that gleamed with brilliance, causing people to be reluctant to remove their eyes.

Yuzhu stared at Su Mu blankly, and even forgot to rub the ink. She didn’t come back to her senses until Su Mu stopped his writing.

Then, looking down, her pretty face suddenly became scrunched up.

On the paper that Su Mu had just wrote on in a rush, there were a mess of ink blotches arranged in an indecipherable array, just like the masterpiece of a three-year-old child who just learned to write.

In fact, this really can’t be blamed on Su Mu. In the modern times, he hadn’t learned calligraphy not to mention it was not only difficult to master the brush, there were also a lot of strokes in traditional characters. And add that to the fact that he was in a rush, so the end result was something that can’t even fully be described as “horrible”.

Su Mu didn’t have this self-awareness though. He looked at his “masterpiece” as if seeing a road paved in gold beckoning to him.

But after a while, he frowned again. After Su Mu calmed down he sat back in the chair, his index and middle fingers tapping at the tabletop rhythmically.

There were many modern things that could be transplanted to the ancient times, but he didn’t remember much of them. But there is one essential thing in life that was found in the modern times that he did remember.

That is, toi-let pa-per!

Su Mu didn’t know how toilet paper was made, but he remembered what toilet paper looked like. This time and space can already produce writing paper, so as long as he provided the ideas, it should not be difficult to do be manufactured.

There was also soap. Su Mu once accidentally saw on the Internet that soap could be made from plant ash and oil.

But in truth, what excited Su Mu most was the “movable type printing”, one of China’s four great inventions. In this era of hand-copying and engraved printing, it was simply too high-ended in comparison.

It’s just that this technology was too easy to be learned. To Su Mu the most profitable was still toilet paper and soap.

But Su Mu was currently lacking the most important and critical element, people!

Su Mochi’s notorious name spread wide and far. People in the imperial city will hide far away if they even hear someone mention his name. Who dared to seek livlihood with him?

It wasn’t as if he could do it all by himself! Moreover, to tell the truth, there were really many things that he simply couldn’t compare to ancient people.

Su Mu frowned in distress, and finally decided to get the things out first before planning anything, so he ordered Yuzhu: “Go call Han Yi and Han Yang.”

At this time, at the other end of the Crown Prince’s Palace, Huang Xuan, who just walked to the door, was greeted by an anxious Qin Ye: “How are you? Where are you uncomfortable? Qian Gonggong (TN: title for eunuch), please call the royal doctor!”

Huang Xuan hurriedly pulled the anxious Qin Ye, in his heart he was a little moved, saying, “Brother Qin, I am fine.”

Qin Ye immediately said angrily: “How could you be fine, that beast Su Mochi……Don’t be shy it will be trouble if you let your injuries fester.”

“I’m truly fine, Brother Qin, if you don’t believe me then look for yourself.” Huang Xuan smiled and jumped on the ground a few times. It didn’t look like anything happened at all, in fact he appeared more energetic than usual.

Qin Ye suddenly couldn’t figure it out, and said, “Were you with the Crown Prince last night?”

Huang Xuan blushed and nodded.

“He didn’t do anything to you?” Qin Ye asked again.

Huang Xuan hurriedly shook his head, but then blushed and nodded.

“Did he or not?” Qin Ye asked irritably.

“No, no!” Huang Xuan stuttered.

“Then you……”

Yun Feiyu, who had been sitting on the side, interrupted: “Qin Ye.”

As soon as Yun Feiyu spoke up, Qin Ye immediately swallowed the words he was about to speak.

A faint orchid fragrance lingered in the air, Yun Feiyu got up and gently said to Huang Xuan: “You go back and rest first.”

Huang Xuan nodded and went back to his room.

“What the hell is Su Mochi planning? First, he announced that he would resume morning assembly, hadn’t touched a man for a month but then suddenly summoned Huang Xuan to shi qin. Is it because he knew that he had committed too many sins and would be punished, so therefore paying repentance?” Qin Ye said mockingly. As long as the name Su Mochi was mentioned, Qin Ye never had a good expression.

Yun Feiyu turned around and fiddled with the orchids in the basin, and said, “Isn’t it a good thing that the Crown Prince is not killing people anymore?”

“Don’t you know Su Mochi’s nature? The sky will rain gold before Su Mochi change his evil ways!” Qin Ye said with a sneer.

Yun Feiyu did not respond, gently wiping the green leaves of the orchid, his expression appeared dim and unclear.

.

.

.

A gentleman like jade, warm to the touch.

The slanting raindrops drizzled down one after another, jet black hair and green blue robe call to mind orchids and bamboos, and in the light white mist, the figure stood quietly under the willow trees, faint like a dream.

Su Mu was stunned briefly when he saw Yun Feiyu, and then remembered the long forgotten verse. He couldn’t help changing his original direction and walked towards him.

“You are, Yun Feiyu?” Su Mu inherited the complete memory of Su Mochi. He knew that this person was Su Mochi’s number one male companion, the eldest son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Appointments, and the famed jade-like Gongzi of the capital.

Even if it was their first real meeting, Su Mu couldn’t help sighing, Su Mochi you truly committed a crime, how can you torment this kind of person.

Seeing Su Mu coming, Yun Feiyu raised the corner of his mouth lightly, saying: “Greetings to His Royal Highness.”

The lethality was too great. As a man who liked men, Yun Feiyu was simply a weapon of mass destruction, a man-killer.

This aura, this face, this figure, this demeanor, this skin, it all absolutely overshadowed hundreds of millions of women from the modern times.

Seeing him, Su Mu unconsciously softened his voice, and said: “You may get up.” Then he said: “What are you doing here when it is raining? Go back quickly.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Yun Feiyu smiled lightly, toppling cities and all living beings, gentle eyes looked at Su Mu: “I heard from imperial bodyguard Han saying that Your Highness wanted to find a villa?”

Su Mu nodded, he couldn’t possibly make soap or anything in the Crown Prince’s Palace.

Yun Feiyu smiled and said: “This caomin (TN: commoner referring to themselves when speaking with officials or royal members) have a villa lying idle in the south of the city, and the scenery is very good. If Your Highness doesn’t mind, please take it.”

“How can I take your things, in such a large imperial city would I be afraid of being unable to find a house?” Ingratiation from out of nowhere was something to be wary of.

Yun Feiyu was a very special person in Su Mochi’s memory.

Three years ago, Yun Jing suddenly announced the return of his sickly eldest son, who had been raised outside the capital since he was young. In just three months of returning to the capital, he became the lauded jade-like Gongzi by everyone in the imperial city.

After Su Mochi learned that Yun Feiyu was secretly named the first beautiful man in the Qing kingdom by the young ladies and wives in the imperial city, he decisively snatched the person.

Su Mu couldn’t help but think of the scene when Su Mochi saw Yun Feiyu for the first time.

By the edge of the Yuping Lake, peach blossoms fell like rain, and dressed in a white brocade robe Yun Feiyu was like an immortal descended from the heavens. Standing quietly by the lake all the landscape became his foil.

Even twisted as Su Mochi couldn’t help but be struck in a daze for a while, and then immediately snatching him away after coming back to himself. Additionally, Su Mochi was much gentler to Yun Feiyu. Of course, this “gentleness” was relative to other people.

Su Mu’s perfect face was reflected in the warm eyes of Yun Feiyu, and Yun Feiyu sighed softly, “Your Highness, do you dislike me?”

Just a light sigh, still with a gentle smile on his face, but it could make everyone clearly feel his disappointment and desperately wishing to beat up the person who made him sad.

It’s just that towards Yun Feiyu Su Mu had a vigilant heart, no matter how he looked this Yun Feiyu had a problem, alright?

When facing Su Mochi or Su Mu, there was no emotion in his eyes except gentleness. Even if Su Mochi left him with humiliating scars, he never had any hatred or fear in his eyes.

Such an obvious abnormality can only go undetected by the pig brained Su Mochi.

Su Mu wiped all his emotions and said, “Why, you think too much.”

Yun Feiyu did not refute, but only slowly moved forward until their breaths blended together. Clear and bright eyes looked into Su Mu’s eyes, if it was any other ordinary person they would either become intoxicated or retreat in embarrassment.

Su Mu did not retreat, nor was he intoxicated. He chuckled in a frivolous manner: “In broad daylight and in public, does Yun Gongzi plan to throw yourself into my embrace?”

After Yun Feiyu saw the two needle-sized moles behind Su Mu’s ears, his eyes flickered.

Yun Feiyu stepped back and looked at Su Mu and said, “I’m afraid that Your Highness doesn’t need Feiyu to throw myself into your embrace anymore.” Then he bowed and said, “Caomin will not disturb His Royal Highness, caomin ask to be excused.”

Su Mu watched Yun Feiyu’s slender figure disappear behind the high wall, his expression indecipherable.

At noon, Han Yi and Han Yang reported that there was a nice villa in the south of the city, and the price was fair, and asked Su Mu if he wanted to buy it.

“The southern part?” Su Mu, who was sitting behind his desk, suspected something, and then said: “You go and find out who the owner of that villa is.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” After Han Yi and Han Yang went out, Su Mu somehow kept recalling the blue green figure in the drizzling rain in his head, falling asleep without knowing it.

Su Mu opened his eyes and saw the golden canopy of his bed, wondering how he suddenly found himself sleeping on the bed.

“Your Highness, you are awake, your servant will go and tell the kitchen to prepare dinner for you.” Yuzhu’s voice sounded nearby.

Su Mu nodded, saw that it was already dark outside and asked, “What time is it now?”

“It’s xu shi (TN: 7-9pm) Your Highness.” Yuzhu replied.

Su Mu waved his hand and said, “Hnn, go ahead, and call in Han Yi and Han Yang.”

Han Yi and Han Yang arrived shortly after Yuzhu walked out.

“Paying respects to His Royal Highness.” The two said at the same time.

“You may stand, have you found anything?” Su Mu asked.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Han Yi bent over and cupped his fist, and said: “Answering to His Royal Highness, the villa was given to Yun Gongzi by Lord Yun when Yun Gongzi just returned three years ago.”

Su Mu suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously: “Yun Feiyu.”

Lin Yuan didn’t expect to see brother Chen again. After all, he still remembered the night when the original owner and brother Chen were separated. The moonlight was dim and the refugees came upon them like the tide. Brother Chen stopped the carriage, and the original owner couldn’t see him clearly, only just hearing the other telling him to run away immediately.

Whenever he thought of brother Chen, Lin Yuan would sigh involuntarily.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But seeing him now, both joy and surprise took him. He let go of brother Jiang’s hand and walked straight towards brother Chen. His expression was not able to remain composed for a while, joy and lament conflicting with each other.

“You are still alive.” Lin Yuan took a deep breath, not expecting that there was still an opportunity for the both of them to meet again in this life.

When he first transmigrated into this world, brother chen blocking the refugees on his own gave him a great shock.

Brother Chen didn’t seem to have any reaction on the surface, he just looked focusedly at Lin Yuan, expression appearing as if in a trance.

They haven’t seen each other for almost three years, and the young master had become different from before.

“Boss?” One of the brawny man who came with him called in bewilderment. How did Boss take an escort job and even end up reuniting with long lost friends?

Brother Chen raised his hand, and the man shut up immediately.

He looked at Lin Yuan with complicated eyes, and finally moved slowly. When a servant see his master, he always had to kneel down.

After three years of not kneeling, he was a little unused to the motion. However, before he got down on his knees, Lin Yuan had already grabbed his shoulders——on tiptoe, with a smile on his face: “I really didn’t expect it. Let me take you in to have a look around. This is the property I purchased.”

After finishing speaking, he half dragged and half hugged brother Chen inside. His expression was so natural that brother Chen was in a daze for a moment.

The people behind also followed in. Meeting their eyes were fertile fields, men and women working in them. In the spring the land needed to be planted with seeds. Everyone was very busy during this period, but the people had smiles on their faces even as they wipe at their sweat. Occasionally they would take a rest, filling a cup with water.

Looking around, besides the huts and a house with a courtyard attached, there was an amazingly large coffin-like house, three stories high, no fancy decorations, just flat and symmetrical, shocking brother Chen and his men.

“Not bad?” Lin Yuan finally revealed a little bit of proudness. He said, “It has been a long time of separation, I will take you to meet Er Liang and the others. They are all in the farmstead, and your mother is also here too.”

Then Lin Yuan turned around and said to Brother Jiang, “Brother Jiang has been walking through the mountains for so long, and must be tired too. We will talk about business tomorrow. I will have someone to take you down to rest and wash up.”

Brother Jiang was not a person without tact, and nodded repeatedly: “Don’t mind me, delaying for a few days is not a big deal.”

Brother Chen’s mother was Lin Yuan’s wet nurse. Now she was helping with things in the back kitchen, as well as helping to deliver babies for pregnant women.

Everyone couldn’t believe it when they saw brother Chen. After all, they didn’t expect Niu Dan to survive. When Er Liang saw brother Chen, he even dropped a few tears from the corner of his eyes and sniffed his nose vigorously, wiping the tears with the back of his hands.

The servants of the Lin family also surrounded brother Chen excitedly and asked him what he had gone through in the past few years, especially brother Chen’s mother. Seeing her son okay in front of her, the tears seemed unable to stop. Brother Chen held his mother’s shoulders helplessly, and let her cry on his shoulders.

Then brother Chen briefly talked about his experience over the past few years.

It turned out that the group of refugees did not want to kill them, but just wanted to find food. But it turned out, there was no food in the car except for the dry food packed for eating on the way. But that bit of food was only enough for an adult man to eat for two or three days.

Finding that there was nothing to eat, the refugees dispersed, and brother Chen survived.

He had no money, and he didn’t know where Lin Yuan and Er Liang had escaped to, so he had no choice but to find a place of shelter first. In the end he stopped at a section of the wilderness, supporting himself with hunting. Probably because of his good hunting skills, a lot of people gathered around gradually.

After having followers, they settled in no fixed place, living like refugees, relying on robbing mountain bandits for livlihood.

To sum up, Brother Chen now had a group of people left behind in the wilderness. He himself took the job of escorting the merchants this time, and brought out the most tough men under his hand. But they met a several groups of bandits and had to escape. After getting lost in the mountains, they accompanied Jiang Guang to here.

Lin Yuan rubbed his chin: “I always feel that there is providence in everything. It was the heavens that had us reunite.”

Mother Chen nodded: “Exactly!”

Old father Lin also said, “Since you are here, then you must stay here in the future. We are after all a family!”

Brother Chen said: “I still have many brothers out there.”

He was also now a small boss, and he must consider the care and livelihood of his brothers.

At this time, Lin Yuan did not respond. His senses had not yet been dazzled by the joy of reuniting. What’s more, the source of his feelings for brother Chen only came from the memory of the original owner. He had not seen him in three years, what kind of person was brother Chen now? He was unsure.

And listening to his tone, the people under his command were all tough men, since daring to rob the bandits your fighting power would certainly not be weak. If he rashly allowed brother Chen to bring those people in, and if something goes wrong……

Even if he wins, the small fighting power he had managed to cultivate now will definitely pay a high price, and he simply can’t afford that now.

Brother Chen stood up. Three years ago, he was only a little taller than Lin Yuan. Now standing next to Lin Yuan, he was almost a head taller than Lin Yuan, at least 1.8 meters tall.

“I won’t have you be troubled, I naturally have my way.” His expression was serious, even revealing a slight imposing aura.

That aura came from the many times he had gone up against the bandits. Old father Lin swallowed, knowing that the Niu Dan in front of him was no longer the same Niu Dan from before. So he said, “Since you’re back, you must still stay for a few days. Besides, you and Yuan’er haven’t seen each other for a few years. There must be a lot to say.”

Mother Chen took her son by the arm. After so many events, she did not look like someone in her forties. Originally, as a wet nurse in the Lin family, her food and clothing were better than ordinary people, so her ageing was not so fast. But she now looked no different from someone in her fifties. Her hair graying, wrinkles on the face and neck, and age spots on the back of her hands.

Since knowing that her son was missing, her energy had long since disappeared. If it weren’t for serving her masters keeping her going, she might have died long ago.

Mother Chen was a widow. After she became pregnant, her husband died in a fight in the field. The fight originated from the people on both sides feeling that the other side had occupied more of their own land. From the verbal fighting in the beginning it gradually escalated into a physical fight, and she lost her husband.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law could not stand the shock of losing their only son, and passed away within a month one after another. She was pregnant and had nowhere to go, until Yang shi heard about her situation and had her come to the Lin family residence giving her a place to peacefully give birth to her baby. It happened that a servant girl in the Lin family was pregnant as well. When the child was born, and the girl did not have enough milk, she could help out as a wet nurse.

In this way Mother Chen stayed at Lin family’s residence, and she stayed for more than ten years.

“Niu Dan.” Mother Chen called her son’s nickname, and reached out to touch her son’s face. With tears falling, she touched her son’s facial features and arms over and over again.

Brother Chen’s sleeves were pushed up, revealing his arms to be covered in scars. There were knife wounds and scars left by blunt objects, looking very frightning.

Mother Chen bit her lip: “Just how much suffering is this……”

Brother Chen smiled at Mother Chen: “Mother, it’s just some small injuries, it doesn’t endanger my life, so it can’t be considered suffering.”

Mother Chen carefully touched the scars: “Does it still hurt?”

Brother Chen: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

That night, everyone in the Lin family gathered together and had a family dinner, while brother Chen’s men went to the cafeteria with the people in the farmstead.

The family banquet was quite rich and sumptuous. Lin Yuan specially asked the kitchen to kill two chickens and three bamboo rats. He also had egg custard soup made, along with fried wild vegetables that were only available in spring. He even took out the rice wine seized from the bandits last time.

Old father Lin sat at the head of the dining table. Currently he doesn’t need to care about anything. He can live a good life just by relying on his son. Daily, he would sigh happily about having given birth to a good son and that his situation was much better than his friends’.

As for his old friends, don’t know where they were now.

Did they find their sons that had been sent out, or had they become refugees, he didn’t know.

Old fathet Lin had thought about it before, but after thinking about it for a couple of days, he put it aside.

In any case, other people’s family affairs have nothing to do with him. Ask him to go find them? That would certainly be impossible.

“Yuan’er is also big now.” Old father Lin took a sip of rice wine and sighed comfortably, “I can now enjoy Yuan’er’s blessing (TN: expression for children supporting their parents’ retirement).”

The servants below flattered: “Master, this is the blessing accumulated from the previous life, and this life is for enjoying the blessing.”

Old father Lin laughed: “I feel the same way!”

There was a lot of happiness and harmony at the banquet, but Lin Yuan turned his head from time to time to look in the direction of brother Chen. He hadn’t seen him for three years. This man had matured and was now unpredictable.

Brother Chen was currently comforting the Mother Chen: “Mother, if you miss me, then come with me, I will definitely not let you suffer and have a hard time.”

Mother Chen asked dazedly: “Go? Go where?”

Brother Chen: “Naturally go to my villa……my place.”

Mother Chen shook her head quickly: “I’m not going anywhere, Niu Dan, you stay too. Did you forget, you have been with the young master since you were young, us mother and son were rescued by the master and the mistress. We must know to be grateful and pay back this benevolence.”

She had lived in the Lin family for more than ten years and had long regarded the Lin family as her home. The master was not very temperamental, and the mistress was a kind person. The young master was also capable. This farmstead also had a city wall. Because of her age, she had received quite a lot of care and had not done any heavy work. Now her son had also come back, so even more she didn’t want to go anywhere.

Brother Chen couldn’t convince Mother Chen, turning around he found that Lin Yuan was looking at him.

He looked at Lin Yuan and didn’t know what he felt.

He had a responsibility to his brothers and loyalty to the young master who grew up with him.

But it was sometimes difficult to be both loyal and righteous.

After the banquet was over and everyone was full, Lin Yuan stood up and walked up to brother Chen and patted his shoulder: “Let’s go out and talk.”

Brother Chen didn’t refuse, and walked outside with Lin Yuan. Now it was dark and the cold wind was still blowing in early spring. Lin Yuan tightened the cotton-padded coat on his body, but found that brother Chen was not afraid of the cold wind at all in his thin shirt.

“Don’t you feel cold?” Lin Yuan asked curiously. They were all made of flesh. How can he be so different as to not be afraid of the cold?

Brother Chen smiled: “I’m used to it.”

“Young master, how have you been in the past few years?” Brother Chen suddenly asked, “At that time I wanted to catch up with you, but I didn’t know where you were going.”

Lin Yuan felt that he really needed a lonely cigarette at this time, and then pretend to say a few words full of life philosophy, but unfortunately there was no condition for him to act cool, and he could only say: “At that time, Er Liang and I fled to Wu city and lived in the ruined temple on the outskirts. We were penniless until we found the two hundred taels banknote that my mother had hidden on me.”

“Let’s stop talking about me, how about you? Are you now the boss of a villa?” Lin Yuan’s ears were sharp, having heard brother Chen’s unfinished word, and he immediately thought of a mountain residence like the one the bandits lived in. Since he had a group of brothers under him, he must have settled down somewhere, relying on looting the surrounding bandits to make a living. It was actually not a good way to live, it could only be said desperate times call for desperate measures.

Brother Chen looked at the night sky: “Actually, at that time, I thought I wouldn’t make it, young master, but people always want to live. Stealing a day is a day.”

“That’s right.” Brother Chen said suddenly, “There is a gentleman in the villa who gave me a new name. I can’t keep using Niu Dan as a formal name.”

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh. Think about it, every time the villa boss goes out, a bunch of underlings say: “Brother Niu Dan! Come back safely!” It was quite an amusing picture. Just not imposing at all.

Lin Yuan asked: “What’s the name?”

Brother Chen said: “Chen Baisong.”

Lin Yuan: “This name is good, Bai Song both have good meaning (TN: literally bai=cypress and song=pine, both trees have good meanings in Chinese).”

Chen Baisong smiled.

“Are you still thinking about leaving here?” Lin Yuan said suddenly, “Nanny will not leave.”

Chen Baisong was currently having a headache about this: “My mother, she……”

Lin Yuan in truth hoped that Chen Baisong would stay. After all, he was the original owner’s playmate since childhood, and he had family here. To the original owner, Chen Baisong may not be his blood brother but they were closer than blood brothers. If he really did leave, Lin Yuan would have some regrets in his heart.

“You don’t have enough food in your villa?” Lin Yuan asked.

Chen Baisong did not lie to save face, he nodded and said: “Otherwise, we won’t come out to take up the escort job, usually we don’t take them.”

Merchants have money, and they want to do business even when the world was in chaos. Furthermore the more chaotic, the higher the prices, especially for food and medicinal materials, both of which were hugely profitable.

After all, they haven’t seen each other for three years so there was a sense of unfamiliarity.

Especially Lin Yuan, although he had memories of brother Chen, this memory belonged to the original owner, and he had not inherited the original owner’s feelings.

Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan: “Young master, you are grown up.”

Lin Yuan was taken aback: “You speak as if you are much older than me.”

Chen Baisong was just a few months older than Lin Yuan.

Chen Baisong didn’t speak, but the corners of his mouth lifted in a smile. The young master in his memory had never grown up. He possessed a kind heart, and was gentle with everyone, unable to see any suffering in front of him.

If everyone in this world was like this, there won’t be so many bad things, there won’t be wars, and there won’t be people who were displaced.

Young master had changed.

Chen Baisong stretched out his arm and patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder.

Nothing in this world was static, everyone was changing.

It’s just that some people were fast and some were slow.

Lin Yuan said, “Since you still have brothers out there, I won’t force you to stay. I will take care of Nanny. If anything happens, just come to me, and I will help so long as it’s within my ability.”

He will repay brother Chen’s life-saving grace to the original owner, although it seems that he hadn’t been able to save the original owner in the end.

“Young master……” Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan, with a smile in his eyes.

Sure enough, no matter when, the young master will always be the young master.

After the excitement of the reunion subsided, Lin Yuan had a rare good sleep. In his dream, he seemed to see the original owner smiling at him.

The next morning, when the sun was shining brightly, Lin Yuan crawled out of the bed. Er Liang walked into the room with a basin of water and waited on Lin Yuan as he freshened up. Lin Yuan’s hair was very long. Although in ancient times the hair was considered part of the body gifted to you by your parents, they can still actually cut the hair, but usually just a small trim.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was already the word haircut.

“Er Liang, cut my hair a bit.” Although Lin Yuan’s hair volume was not too much, it tend to grow too fast. It was already very long before and plus three years of no trimming, it now reached his thighs.

Er Liang brushed Lin Yuan’s hair, and said, “Young master’s hair is this good why should it be cut. It’s dark and smooth, no need to cut it.”

Lin Yuan: “It’s too much trouble, it takes too much time to freshen up every day.” Because of the long hair, the ancient people actually seldom wash their hair as there was no hair dryer. Generally, they do not wash their hair when the weather grows cold. It was common not to wash their hair in autumn and winter. Even if he wanted to wash it, there were no soaps in the farmstead at this time. Even Lin Yuan just washed his hair with plant ash mixed with water.

Lin Yuan found that many people in the farmstead who did not wash their hair for a long time, the oil blocked the hair follicles, resulting in them being half bald.——The troubles of hair loss, as expected, exist in any era.

Er Liang combed Lin Yuan’s hair, and said, “I see Brother Chen is very different from three years ago.”

Thinking of the current brother Chen, he said excitedly: “He is even more manly! I will grow up like brother Chen in the future!”

Er Liang, this fickle little boy, the one who he had looked up to before was Brother Dao.

Even though he had experienced the smell of brother Dao’s feet, he hadn’t changed his mind.

Now that someone who was more in line with his aesthetics appeared, he immediately abandoned Brother Dao.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, “Then you have to work hard, eat more, and work more.”

Er Liang: “I also have strength now.”

After finishing the hair and changing clothes, it had been almost half an hour since he got up.

Sure enough, long hair was inconvenient, but Lin Yuan dare not cut it too short. After all, people with short hair now were either monks returning to the secular world or criminals who have been punished.

Lin Yuan went to see Jiang Guang first.

Jiang Guang was a merchant trader, he had no fixed place and no family, but he had a lot of contacts, therefore daring to travel in this state of upheaval.

“I sell everything.” Jiang Guang said smiling as he sat cross legged, his breakfast on the table, “In addition to medicinal materials, I also sell food. If there is a shortage of people, people can also be sold.”

Lin Yuan asked: “What about weapons and horses?”

Jiang Guang’s smile changed in an instant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked honest and clever equally: “Although I can also sell it, but the price……”

Lin Yuan knew that the price would be scary without even thinking about it.

“Money is not accepted.” Jiang Guang said, “The times now, only silver and gold are accepted.” What he called money were the paper currency issued by the Yuan Dynasty. It had now become waste paper and was only useful in relatively stable towns. However, the amount was getting larger and larger. Ordinary people holding several hundred taels of paper currency may not even be able to buy much food.

Lin Yuan can also understand that, after all, in a modern African country, inflation can reach to heights where hundreds of millions were needed to buy a pair of slippers.

But he doesn’t have much gold and silver anymore. Yang Zi’an took most of the silver away, and the gold was only Yang shi’s jewelry. If not for a last resort, Lin Yuan really didn’t want to use Yang shi’s things.

But the good thing was that the Lin family used to have a big business, and the jewelry that old father Lin bought for Yang shi was all made of real gold and silver. It was not gilded gold or fake gold, each piece was weighty and valuable.

“Brother Jiang.” Lin Yuan said suddenly, “Although there is no gold or silver, I have something else here.”

Jiang Guang looked up bewildered. Without gold and silver, what business can be talked about? Merchants chase profits, that had always been the case.

Lin Yuan: “What do you think of this thing?”

Jiang Guang heard this and looked over, seeing Lin Yuan take out something. It was a huge jade annulus, larger than Jiang Guang had ever seen in his life. The whole body was pure white and very transparent. It was not only on the surface, under the sun it gave a feeling that light could travel through this jade. Such jade was priceless, rarely seen among the people. Jiang Guang swallowed and his eyes glowed.

Lin Yuan was relieved to find that Jiang Guang hadn’t seen through it.

Of course, this jade was not real. It was made by Chen Half-Immortal and his fellows. He didn’t know how they had somehow gone from studying gunpowder formula to making fake gems. The texture of artificially-made jade was of course not comparable to real jade, but it was made meticulously. In this era without professional equipment, it was almost impossible based on the naked eye and hand to distinguish its fakeness. The stone used was also found deep in the mountains, and it took them a month to create this piece.

Originally, Lin Yuan was worried that jade had lost its value in these times, but looking at Jiang Guang’s eyes, he knew that there was still a market for this thing. No matter how chaotic the world was, the royals and nobles at the top will still enjoy themselves. If the sword was not placed on their necks, they will not be afraid.

“This thing……” Jiang Guang, “How priceless!”

Lin Yuan: “This thing fell into my hands because of a coincidence. I want to exchange it for one cart of brother Jiang’s medicinal herbs, it should be more than enough?”

Jiang Guang looked at Lin Yuan: “I will not tell lies with young master Lin, it is worth more than one cart.”

“I want to buy some horses.” Lin Yuan said.

Jiang Guang touched his chin: “If it was a few years ago, it would be enough to buy ten horses, but now, I can only give three horses.”

Lin Yuan didn’t mind about this. It was a pure profit in exchange. After all, as soon as this piece of “fake jade” came out, Chen Half-Immortal and the others had experience and could make more counterfeit jade easily enough.

Of course, using the fake jade to trade, the more the better.

“Brother Jiang is an honest man.” Lin Yuan raised his teacup, “I will use tea instead of wine to toast to brother Jiang.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Jiang Guang also raised his teacup. He had already thought about whom he would sell to after he got that piece of jade. The people below can barely survive, but the people above were still living extravagantly and enjoying luxuries. Compared to gold and silver those people would prefer jade, and he can surely sell it for a good price.

Lin Yuan and Jiang Guang were both feeling delighted in their hearts.

Chen Half-Immortal and the others, they don’t know it yet it, but their workload will increase once again.

Bird Dude Nie Bufan

Bird Dude Nie Bufan CH 010 Taiji

15 Comments

Waking up early in the morning, coming into view was a silver white adorned world, brilliant white snow covering everything, and crisp winter silence permeated the air.

Nie Bufan wrapped himself into a ball, three inner layers under three outer layers, and watched Li Yi in a single shirt practicing martial arts in the yard with a look of envy and hatred.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Resentfully, he started a fire and boiled water in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for those two idlers.

Speaking of, these days he had practically become a full-time house-husband, which was not a good sign. Those two guys eat his food and live in his house, and even have him wait on them?

Eyes inadvertently glanced at something in the cabinet, and his mood brightened. Nie Bufan turned his head and looked outside, only to see Li Yi who had finished practicing and was currently freshening up, so he shouted: “Li Fourth, come here.”

Li Yi came over.

Nie Bufan poured out a bag of flour and ordered: “Please, knead the dough.”

“Knead dough?” Li Yi looked at the pile of powder and hesitated, “How to knead it?”

“You pour some water in the flour, and then knead it with your hands.”

Li Yi pinched a bit of flour with his still wet fingers, and complained, “You should just let me pick vegetables. This thing is sticky, I don’t like it.”

“What? Are you not a martial artist? Why don’t you like kneading dough?” Nie Bufan glared at him.

“Why should martial arts practitioners like kneading dough?”

“Kneading dough is not something that ordinary people can do well, it contains the essence of supreme martial arts, you are actually this ignorant?”

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and said: “The essence of supreme martial arts?”

He can’t see how rubbing this sticky thing have anything to do with the essence of martial arts.

Nie Bufan looked at him contemptuously, and asked, “Have you heard of Taiji?”

“Taiji?”

“Just looking at you I know you haven’t heard it before.” Nie Bufan waved his hand and said solemnly, “Taiji practicioners, born from the everlasting, the moment of movement, the mother of yin and yang, the principle of movement is separation and the principle of stillness is harmony. With static overcoming movement, with softness conquering strength, this contains the essence of supreme martial arts.”

“It sounds very profound, but what does it have to do with kneading?” Li Yi thought it over to himself what Nie Bufan had just said, it did not sound like made-up nonsense.

“Hmph, hmph, you look carefully.” Nie Bufan gathered the flour into a sphere, leaving a space in the middle, and slowly filled it with water, then crossed his hands, kneading the flour into the water in a counterclockwise rotation, and said at the same time, “The strength must be balanced, push, knead, twist, and join, follow the circular orbit, coupling strength and gentleness.”

Li Yi didn’t take it much seriously at first, but slowly, his eyes became sharp, his expression changed, and he seemed to be caught in complicated pondering.

“What do you think?” Nie Bufan stopped and patted the newly formed dough, and said, “Will you knead it?”

“Knead.” Li Yi stepped forward without hesitation this time, copying what Nie Bufan had done just now, kneading back and forth with circle as the center.

This seemingly simple and slow movement does contain a different and complex meaning. It was completely different from the martial arts he had learned. A circle containing a square, rigidness within softness, borrowing strength to fight strength, resembling nature itself……

Nie Bufan nodded with satisfaction when seeing Li Yi’s concentrated expression. If you have watched “Shaolin Soccer”, you will be able to quickly recognize that the action he just demonstrated was the scene where Zhao Wei was kneading the dough using taiji at the steamed bun shop.

Just to make Li Yi do hard work willingly, he used “the essence of supreme martial arts theory” to fool him.

Kneading dough, not to be underestimated.

Nie Bufan moved a cutting board and put it in the yard, then picked up a kitchen knife and a large piece of meat, and shouted: “Zhang Third, come and help.”

Zhang Junshi walked over leisurely.

Nie Bufan lifted the knife and knocked it on the chopping board and ordered: “Chop.”

“Ah?” Zhang Junshi looked at the piece of meat, and pointed to himself and asked, “You want me to chop the meat?”

Nie Bufan nodded: “I will make dumplings later. You chop this piece of meat into minced meat.”

Zhang Junshi hesitated and said: “This……”

“As a resident of the Chicken Nest Village, you must make a contribution, otherwise all the chickens in the village will look down on you.”

As if confirming his words, dozens of chicken clucks sounded around them.

“Uh, fine.” Zhang Junshi rolled up his sleeves, raised the knife hesitantly, and then said, “Can you hand me another kitchen knife?”

Nie Bufan handed him another kitchen knife with a look of confusion.

Zhang Junshi smiled faintly: “It’s been a long time since I used the knife.”

Nie was instantly startled, was this seemingly well-mannered young Gongzi actually a rare and unfounded martial arts master? Seeing him in Confucian attire and appearance elegantly handsome, but holding a pair of knives while standing in front of the chopping board with a look of domineering aura, the image was disharmonic no matter how you looked at it.

In the brief moment when he was spacing out, the knife was raised and then chopped down, and the meat was cross-cut into four pieces. Zhang Junshi adjusted his breathing, and then started to chop it with an imposing expression. The speed of his hand was like flickering lights and passing shadows, faster than the naked eye could distinguish.

This time it was Nie Bufan’s turn to be surprised. How did such a perfectly gentlemanly Gongzi turn into a meat-chopping demon after just picking up a knife?

Nie Bufan just came out of the kitchen with a pot, but Zhang Junshi already finished the meat chopping work, and was currently scraping the knife with an expression of having not fully had his fun.

There was a type of person who appeared gentle on the outside but was a berserker inside. They look normal but were the easiest to become twisted. Could Zhang Junshi also be a member of this dangerous group of people?

“Have you practiced knife skills specifically?” Nie Bufan asked.

Zhang Junshi put down the knife, wiped his hands, and smiled heedlessly: “I used to learn knife skills from the chef at home for several years, but unfortunately my father found out and accused me of ‘disgracing the cultured’, and so I haven’t used the knife again.”

“Why do you want to learn knife skills?”

“I like cuisine, and hoped that one day I could make delicious dishes by myself. Unfortunately, I am not talented in cooking, but my knife skills did make great progress.” Zhang Junshi said with a look of nostalgia, “Of course, with my background, even if I had the talent for cooking, I cannot be a real chef anyway.”

Nie Bufan nodded in understanding, then stepped forward and patted Zhang Junshi on the shoulder, and comforted: “It’s alright, as long as you are in Chicken Nest Village, you can chop all the vegetables and meat as much as you want. From now on, this glorious job is left to you.”

Zhang Junshi: “……”

Li Yi and Zhang Junshi were squeezed out of any surplus value by Nie Bufan, but when lunch came, they did not eat the dumplings they expected.

Looking at the simple three dishes and one soup in front of him, Zhang Junshi asked, “Why not dumplings?”

“Oh, I thought about eating during the day lacked atmosphere, so I decided to make it at night.”

Eating dumplings are dependent on whether it was day or night? Both Zhang and Li slandered Nie Bufan’s words silently.

During the meal, Nie Bufan noticed a strange phenomenon. Li Yi’s chopsticks would make an arc in the air every time he picked up something from a dish. He wanted to pick up something from the dish on the right, but he just had to go around it from the left. When ladling the soup he also must first stir it with the ladle.

Had he fallen into Taiji obsession? Nie Bufan thought unkindly.

Zhang Junshi also seemed to be aware of it. During the period, he glanced at Li Yi several times, but Li Yi was unaware, his expression dazed.

At the end of the meal, Nie Bufan glanced at the last chicken leg left on the plate, stretched out his chopsticks, but ended up crossing the other two pairs of chopsticks in the air.

The three of them looked at each other, and at the same time retracted their chopsticks, humbly saying: “You eat, you eat.”

They were superficially polite for a while, but the three of them saw that no one was moving after awhile so they all stretched out their chopsticks together.

Silence, they once again retracted awkwardly.

“Hehehehe.” Zhang Jun chuckled innocently.

Li Yi had no expression on his face, holding his chopsticks as if he planned to use stillness to overcome movement.

“You guys.” Nie Bufan pointed at them with his chopsticks and shouted fiercely, “No one’s allowed to move! This chicken leg belongs to me.”

Zhang Junshi bowed his head and shoveled rice into his mouth.　

Li Yi turned to the cellophane noodles, picking some up and into his mouth.

Nie Bufan succeeded in capturing the last chicken leg.

After the meal, Zhang and Li sat by the window drinking tea and enjoying the snow.

“Next year the tian nu will show up, is Brother Li interested in participating in the competition?” Zhang Junshi asked.

“Not interested.”

“Hehe, I thought so, otherwise you wouldn’t be hiding in this Chicken Nest Village.”

Li Yi glanced at him and said, “What about you? Are you living in the Chicken Nest Village because you didn’t want to be involved either?”

Zhang Junshi just smiled and did not speak, but his eyes unconsciously looked at the person who was talking to Tu Beng in the courtyard.

Li Yi also followed his gaze. When he saw that person and his rich expressions of annoyance and joy, the expression on his own face couldn’t help become softened.

“Hey, you two, don’t sit in the house and come out to sweep the snow!” After Nie Bufan and Tu Beng finished speaking, he immediately shouted to both Zhang and Li.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time stood up resignedly.

Nie Bufan gave each of them a broom and pointed the area to be cleaned. Chicken Nest Village was now covered with snow everywhere, and the silly chickens were always accidentally getting buried in the snow, making Nie Bufan have to fish them out.

Fortunately, the weather was cold, and not many chickens come out to find unluckiness. Some of them have even entered an intriguing “hibernation” state, saving a lot of trouble. Only, the amount of egg production had decreased. In the past, one egg could be stepped on in three steps, but now not even one egg could be seen in three days.

Nie Bufan directed Zhang Junshi and Li Yi to sweep the snow, chop wood, and take care of the chickens.

Zhang and Li probably have never been this ordered around before, and to be doing the lowest physical labor too.

Nie Bufan never seemed to place significance on the difference between the rich and the poor in his eyes. He knew that Zhang Junshi and Li Yi were from rich affluent families, but he didn’t care at all. He conversed and laughed with them on equal grounds.

Perhaps it was precisely because of such a non-discriminatory attitude that Zhang and Li ignored the class gap and were willing to interact with him, naturally getting closer gradually.

But this person’s occassional carefree ways could be extremely maddening.

After a lot of work, the images of these two elegant Gongzi have changed drastically, looking like two dusty heroes covered in mud and dirt.

Nie Bufan prepared hot bath water for them with a smile. The two men resolutely did not agree to bathe together. Nie Bufan found it troublesome to boil water many times, so he dragged them into the bath together despite objections. In order for convenience, Nie Bufan changed half of the storage room into a bath, which was enough to accommodate four or five people.

Zhang and Li were both in rare states of bashfulness, but Nie Bufan was completely at ease, even showing off his naked body in a narcisstic and pleased manner. He had a well-proportioned figure, healthy complexion, and a special beauty between movement and stillness.

However, after seeing Zhang Junshi and Li Yi’s naked bodies, Nie Bufan stopped. Stronger than him, muscular than him……larger than him.

Nie Bufan silently wept, he will never bathe with them again……

In the evening, Zhang and Li ate the dumplings that they had been looking forward to. For the first time, they felt that dumplings were this delicious. Although ordinary, but full of joy.

“Nie Bufan, will we still have dumplings tomorrow?” Li Yi asked.

“Again? I want to make noodles.”

“……Uh. Kneading dough really contains the essence of martial arts, I haven’t mastered it yet.”

“……” Suddenly there was a sense of satisfaction of having successfully tricked the strong and at the same time the guilt of deceiving the innocent.

“If I can comprehend, my martial arts will definitely be more refined.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Nie Bufan was silent for a while, before he suddenly said something very profound: “If you have kneading dough in your heart, then you can knead dough at any time. You can only achieve success if you don’t confine yourself to external matters.”

“This remark is very wise.”

Alas! This was how a generation’s dough kneading master was born……

The Cruel Tyrant

The Cruel Tyrant CH 003 Huang Xuan

6 Comments

Su Mu returned to the Crown Prince’s Palace with a cold face, the whole way all who saw the Crown Prince took a detour rather than to cross his path. The court servants following the Crown Prince were not as fortunate, walking with their hearts in their throats.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Su Mu stood in the courtyard for martial arts drilling and practice and said in a deep voice, “Everyone leave.”

The entire procession of court servants responded with an affirmative before disappearing from the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

You say that leaving the Crown Prince alone, there might be a possibility that he would be in danger?

Hehe, the youngest son of Ye Haolin, the second most powerful martial artist of the Central Plains, was snatched and ravaged by the Crown Prince for three years, and yet the Crown Prince did not even lose a single hair.

Just when the group of eunuchs and palace ladies left, all kinds of loud noises were heard coming from inside the courtyard.

Su Mu’s eyes were full of hostility, the beautiful eyes were full of the desire to destroy everything. A slender hand stretched toward the weapon rack, and a two-meter long broadsword appeared in his hand instantly.

The next moment, the huge courtyard was sealed off by layers of sword light, the sharp and dazzling traces of the broadsword flickered incessantly, and the debris and dust in the courtyard went flying all over the place.

The earsplitting sounds lasted for half an hour before Su Mu walked out of the courtyard. His whole person was still composed and elegant, with an aura that was unspeakably noble. His black hair was half tied and half neatly draped behind him, not a single strand of hair was out of place.

Those who don’t know will never think that he was the very person who was just in a crazy rampage inside just now. Here and there, pits more than two meters deep silently accused Su Mu of his violent behavior.

Su Mu returned to his personal quarters with a cold face, thinking about whether or not to just run away, it was simply unreasonable for this country not to perish. Su Mu layed down on the dragon bed made of pure gold, feeling his head swollen and painful.

He spent a month understanding the current situation of Qing kingdom, and then discovered that ten years ago, Tian Guohai in the east pronounced himself king of six counties, and the peasants in the seven southeast counties rebelled, and the six counties in the southwest followed.

And Su Mochi only learned about all this two years ago. The three kings sent ambassadors to persuade him to surrender, and was all undoubtedly killed by Su Mochi.

Then the three kings formed an alliance and attacked the capital of the Qing kingdom from three directions, south, east and west. If it was any ordinary country, it would undoubtedly be destroyed.

However, here there was an abnormality known as Su Mochi. Afterwards, it became the nightmare of the three kings’ allied armies.

Su Mochi first attacked the Southern Army with a thousand men of sacrifice that he had personally trained, without the intention of regaining lost ground, nor winning the people’s hearts, only one word, kill!

When exhuastion from the killing came over them or the enemy were too strong then flee for now, and then continue to come back and kill, until all the people in the city were dead. Not even a little mouse was spared.

Next came the Southern Army and the Western Army. A total of nine garrison cities not a one was spared, and Su Mochi’s murder count reached the hundreds of thousands.

Su Mu had to work hard to forget those memories, as hundreds of thousands of grievances were too heavy.

Those in Qing kingdom who did not have hatred for him could likely be counted on one hand. No matter how strong Su Mochi was, he was just a mortal after all. Didn’t Qin Ye poison him to death?

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the world, Su Mochi did not die at all.

Su Mu tossed round in bed with irritation, everything required money, but currently he just didn’t have any money.

Paper making, brothels, casinos, porcelain, etc. all existed already in this world. And he doesn’t know how to make glass, weapons and gunpowder.

He only knew how to enjoy China’s thousands of years of cultural inventions. As for beauty products, ao~, no thanks, he is a man.

The more Su Mu thought about it, the more he couldn’t fall asleep. Not only that, he also felt his body temperature gradually rise, getting hotter and hotter, like a big fire suddenly began burning in his body.

Su Mu naturally knew he was not having a fever, he was just sex-ual-ly un-sa-tis-fied!

The demonic arts that Su Mochi cultivated emphasized indulgence of desire, the desire to kill and desire of fleshly pleasures were perfectly exemplified in him.

In the past month or so not only had Su Mu not even killed an ant, he hadn’t touched a man either. Because of this everyone was already up in debates.

Of course, Su Mu didn’t have any time to care about that at this moment. Right now his eyes appeared like two misty springs, red lips slightly parted, and his body exuded an aura of sexual dissatisfaction.

A month, Su Mu thought that this might be the limit of this body.

But he doesn’t want to call over the men in the Crown Prince’s Palace. Were any of the men here not possessing hatred for him?

So he bit his teeth, closed his eyes, and stretched out his hand. Su Mu decided to take care of it on his own. In the dark, a slightly restrained groan that made one blush and heartbeat fast sounded.

After a long while, Su Mu stopped his movements, depressed. This body had such a crazy past and memories that it wasn’t possible for it to be satisfied with just a hand.

After a while, Su Mu couldn’t bear it anymore, so he could only thicken his skin and call out in a hoarse voice: “Yuzhu, go call Huang Xuan over.”

Yuzhu, who was guarding the door, responded: “Yes, Your Highness.”

Yuzhu was very worried about Huang Xuan while on the way to Feiyu Pavilion. Huang Gongzi was a very good and innocent person. The heavens bless him, I hope His Highness can be gentle tonight. Yuzhu couldn’t help but pray.

In a small courtyard in Feiyu Pavilion, the delicate young man who had just crawled out of the bed suddenly turned pale white. “What, sis-sister Yuzhu, you said that the Crown Prince want-wanted me to go shi qin?”

Yuzhu couldn’t bear to see the look of fear on the young man’s face, but she couldn’t disobey the Crown Prince’s order.

Huang Xuan did not have the most outstanding appearance compared to other men in the Crown Prince’s Palace, so after being snatched by the Crown Prince and tormented for a few days, he was not called to shi qin anymore.

He had thought that the Crown Prince had forgotten him, and he always hoped the Crown Prince had indeed forgotten him. But unexpectedly, the Crown Prince suddenly thought of him again today.

Huang Xuan had no other choice but to put on a brave front and go to the Crown Prince’s sleeping quarters with Yuzhu.

In the dark of night, most of the Crown Prince’s personal quarters were hidden in the gloom, like a devil who yawned open a huge bottomless mouth. Huang Xuan felt that his legs had lost any feeling, unable to move even half a step at the entrance of the Crown Prince’s bedroom.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Your Highness, Huang Gongzi is here.” Yuzhu said respectfully at the door.

“Let him in.” A seductive voice came from inside, slightly different from the cruel and vicious voice in his memory.

Huang Xuan was stunned, he lifted his foot forcefully and walked inside.

Su Mu spent three consecutive days in the Imperial Study Room. And even more miraculously he didn’t kill anyone. In fact, there wasn’t even a sight of the Crown Prince’s usual favorite game of forcing people to eat live frogs, scorpions and centipedes.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The people in the imperial palace all had tears in their eyes, the devil actually had times when he did not kill. The officials were particularly full of questions. The true nature of the Crown Prince was something these officials were the most clear about. He was someone who would write his own name as “Su Heiye” (TN: the Chinese characters for Mochi and Heiye are kind of similar but with certain additional or missing strokes), and you tell them that His Royal Highness had been diligently reading the memorials for three days!

Hehe, this venerable sir will twist my head off and let you kick it as a ball!

Crown Prince’s Palace, Qionghua Pavilion

Dressed extravagantly in red, Liu Xi leaned lazily on the red sandalwood couch, enchanting phoenix eyes glittered with a charming luster. In a bored manner he fiddled with the jade ring on his thumb, the slender and pale fingers could even compete with warm white jade, enough to make any woman jealous.

Liu Xi snorted coldly, a seductive voice that would make one’s whole body go soft, but the phoenix eyes were full of mockery, red lips lightly opened to say, “Not my shitty business.”

As soon as Liu Yuanhua finished speaking, he heard his son’s merciless verbal face slap, his face turning black, and he scolded: “Liu Xi, what attitude is that, I have worked so hard to raise you and yet you repay me with this attitude!”

Liu Xi sat up abruptly and glared at Liu Yuanhua, shouting: “It was my mother who raised me. Besides selling me, did you give me even a bite of food?!”

Liu Yuanhua was so angry he was out of breath, pointing at Liu Xi’s nose he cursed: “You……you unfilial son, where did your current glory and wealth come from? If it wasn’t for me offering you to the Crown Prince, you would have long since become a courtesan at Chu Tower waiting to be fucked!”

“Fuck your mother, you old bastard, if it weren’t for your @#%……I wouldn’t become what I am today, you damn old man, fuck your whole family@#%………”

Liu Xi’s facial features were coquettish and charming, even when he was angry, there was a special kind of temptation. Of course, the premise was to ignore the indecent words coming out of his mouth.

Liu Yuanhua clutched at his chest as he fell into a chair, unable to speak complete sentences. “Fine, fine……you little bastard……”

“You, old, bastard!” Liu Xi gritted his teeth and dearly wished to strangle him.

Of course Liu Yuanhua had the same desire. He glared at Liu Xi fiercely, almost crushing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and threatened: “Don’t forget that your mother is still in the Liu residence. If you want her to have better days, then you better be obedient to me.”

Liu Yuanhua left after speaking, if he continued to stay on, he would likely be angered to death.

The sounds of Liu Xi’s cursing and the shattering of objects came from the house, taking a long time to stop.

Liu Xi stood in the messy room with a dark expression and said with hatred: “Change, clothes!”

Su Mu returned to the room full of gold. A group of court ladies quickly changed his clothes and refreshed him up. Yuzhu was just wiping Su Mu’s hands when a report from a minor court lady outside the door sounded: “His Royal Highness, Liu Gongzi, request to see you.”

“Let him come in.” It seemed that someone had already noticed his changes, Su Mu thought to himself.

Liu Xi wore a red palace attire, hair pulled back with a golden crown, jet black hair gleaming with a faint light. The pair of phoenix eyes naturally charming and seductive, shaking minds and hearts with just the first glance.

Liu Xi placed the porcelain bowl on the table and smiled softly: “Your Highness has been tired from working in the Imperial Study Room for the whole day, chen (TN: I, your servant – used in addressing the sovereign) has made snow pear soup to help cool off the heat.”

Su Mu nodded and sat down. Yuzhu immediately took out a silver needle and placed it in the soup (TN: ancient method of testing for poison in foods). Liu Xi acted as if he hadn’t seen it, gracefully taking a spoonful. “Your Highness, let me feed you……”

The corners of Su Mu’s mouth twitched slightly, more than one layer of goose bumps appeared all over his body, but privately he felt a little numb (TN: sensation of pins and needles). Su Mu took the bowl and drank it in one gulp and said, “Ben Gong (TN: form of self address for royal members) is going to rest. Go back.”

“Your Highness……” Liu Xi called lowly in an aggrieved voice, truly a thousand words were all in his eyes (TN: expression for conveying a lot of things with silence.)

Su Mu felt his heart beating faster, and various indecent images flashed through his mind, leaving him speechless.

Although he doesn’t mind taking care of his needs with someone he liked, but he does mind sleeping with someone who was plotting against him.

Liu Xi said unwillingly: “Your Highness, let me……”

Su Mu narrowed his eyes and said, “Don’t make me say it a second time.”

Liu Xi trembled slightly, not daring to say one more word, lowering his eyes and exiting this too ostentatious room.

Qionghua Pavilion

After dismissing all the servants Liu Xi’s expression suddenly became extremely dark, and the seductive and feminine aura that surrounded him disappeared.

“Liu Yuanhua, Su Mochi, I will flay you both sooner or later!”

On a sunny afternoon, when most of the officials got up for breakfast, they were suddenly told by their stewards that the Crown Prince had sent down a decree to resume the morning assembly from tomorrow. Officials of fourth rank and above must arrive in Taihe Hall at mao shi (5:00 am).

A certain official chocked in shock, old face flushed red, and the rice sprayed all over the table.

The first reaction of everyone was not that the Crown Prince was the prodigal son who returned (TN: expression for someone who turned over a new leaf) and began to worry about the country and the people, but how the Crown Prince plan to torment them.

Recalling the last time they held morning assembly, last year, the Crown Prince suddenly held morning assembly in the middle of the night where he robbed all the officials’ gold, and complained about their inconsistent greeting and irregular bowing etiquette. And thus forcing them to practice for a whole day, not allowed to eat or drink the whole duration. But the most cruel thing was not allowing them to go to the toilet!!

Fortunately, it was night and everyone hadn’t eaten anything. As for the few who couldn’t hold back and urinated in their trousers, thinking about it now their death anniversary will be in a few months!

Although the Crown Prince ordered that they must arrive at mao shi these officials didn’t trully dare to wait until mao shi, almost immediately after yin shi (3-5 am), most officials were already waiting in the side room of Taihe Hall, guessing at what tricks the Crown Prince was planning to play.

Liu Yuanhua was dressed in court clothes but with a gloomy look on his face. A few friendly officials immediately surrounded him, cutting off even the usual polite words, and asked directly: “Lord Liu, do you know why the Crown Prince suddenly announced the resumption of the morning assembly?”

Liu Yuanhua secretly cursed, Liu Xi, that useless thing, and coldly snorted: “How does this venerable sir know.”

The official who had been retorted at said with a moutnful face: “What can be done? I wonder what tricks the Crown Prince is going to play this time?”

When the old eunuch invited all the officials into the Hall, everyone assumed the attitude of waiting for death. When the old eunuch announced that the Crown Prince had arrived, several officials almost collapsed on the ground with their knees.

After hollering “Crown Prince will live a thousand years” three times, Su Mu’s eyes swept across the kneeling civil and military officials, raising his hand and saying, “You may rise.”

After the officials got up from the ground, they lowered their heads and waited nervously for the Crown Prince’s instructions.

“Shangshu (TN: a high ranking official position) of the Ministry of Works, Li Gaosheng.” The devil-like voice of the Crown Prince rang out above their heads.

Li Gaosheng stood trembling in the middle, and soon big beads of sweat instantly soaked his court clothes.

“Chen, chen is here……”

Su Mu, who was sitting above, saw that Li Gaosheng appeared as if his whole family were dead, and he couldn’t help but admire Su Mochi.

What kind of cruelty was this! He has yet to see someone who was unafraid of Su Mochi.

However, this was not entirely just disadvantages, at least no one would dare to act against him in the face of his sudden governance.

Looking at these quail-like officials, Su Mu’s mouth curved and said, “Has someone build a dam for the Xijiang flood?”

What!? The Crown Prince really asked about state affairs today? Could it be that the sun will rise from the west today? This was the thinking of some officials.

The other officials were like, oh my heavens, the Crown Prince was not going to kill people and use their corpses to build dams right! Mother! The Crown Prince is too terrifying!

Li Gaosheng was part of the first half, otherwise he would have definitely been frightened into a stroke. Even so, he still did not dare to relax a little bit. He said with fear: “Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue has not allocated funds to Chen, Chen have no money to build the dam!”

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, Li Gaosheng you mother fucker, just now you had been acting brotherly with me, but in a blink of an eye you led the disaster down on my head. Very good, this venerable sir has remembered you.

Sun Wei stood up tremblingly and said: “Your Highness, without the will of you and the Emperor’s decree, Chen dare not open the treasury privately.”

Su Mu nodded and said: “If that’s so, then Ben Gong order you to allocate 300,000 taels for the building of the dam, and another 300,000 taels for disaster relief.”

Sun Wei hesitated: “This……Your Highness……”

“Quit mumbling, speak up!”

Sun Wei knelt to the ground with a “peng” and howled miserably: “Your Highness, the Treasury only have 563,250 taels in total!”

Silence, deathly silence, not even the sound of breathing could be heard in the whole Hall. Sun Wei trembled as he knelt down on the ground, afraid to even breath, for fear that the Crown Prince would chop him into pieces.

Su Mu’s entire head had only the words “500,000” “500,000” sounding in his mind, desperately holding in the murderous intent that was surging in his heart, fearing that with a slip of his hand everyone present would be torn apart.

He had considered that this country was very poor, but he did not expect it to be this poor.

At that moment, Su Mu had only two feelings in his heart. How much is five hundred thousand taels? It is only about 5 million yuan when converted into RMB. The national treasury of a country was only 5 million!!! Was it even enough to hand out the salary!!!

His limited edition Ferrari that had been crashed into unrecognizable pieces of metal, was worth ten times more alright! The anger surging in his chest suddenly couldn’t be held back.

With a “peng” the pure gold armrest on the chair was broken in Su Mu’s grip.

After a long pause, Su Mu took a deep breath and said with a dark face: “Assembly dismissed.”

“Respectfully sending off the Crown Prince.”

As soon as Su Mu disappeared from Jinluan Hall (TN: think there’s a typo by the author, not sure if she meant Taihe or Jinluan Hall as both was used), the previously silent hall where even the falling of a needle was audible suddenly exploded.

No one expected that the Crown Prince actually started to care about the state affairs, but most people thought that the Crown Prince was just treating this as a new plaything.

But there were also people who have ignited a glimmer of hope that the Crown Prince will truly no longer mess around, and that the Crown Prince will work hard to govern the country.

Peng Han, the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, walked up to Shangshu Yun Jing of the Ministry of Works (TN: another typo, Li Gaosheng was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works but now it is Yun Jing 🤔) and said hesitatingly: “Lord Yun, do you think that the Crown Prince is truly determined to start taking charge of the government?”

“This I am unsure about as well!” Yun Jing was worried. When the Crown Prince did not involve himself in the government he still caused disasters to the whole of Qing country. If the Crown Prince indeed personally got involve with government who knows what will happen.

“I wonder, have any rumors from the palace come out?” Peng Shangshu mentioned vaguely.

Yun Jing thought of his son in the Crown Prince’s Palace and sighed, saying: “Fine, I will go have a visit at the Crown Prince’s Palace!”

The dark-faced Qin Kunyu stepped forward and said: “I will go with you.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Looking at Qin Kunyu’s haggard face, Yun Jing felt a shared sympathy. The two families’ most talented sons both fell into the Crown Prince’s devilish claws. He truly didn’t know what sins they committed in their previous lives.
