The Legend of Zhu San
161: A Pair of Beggars
Zhu San and Bian Chi had arrived at Baixan City. From a height of two hundred meters from the ground, the two saw thousands of tents set up at a distance of two kilometers from the southern fence wall of Baixan City.
The two realized that the Black Stream Alliance's forces, had yet to make an attack. I don't know what the reason behind them is, so delay the attack.
“San Gege .. What's our next move? Did it attack them?” Bian Chi who saw the camp, as if burning his heart as He remembered the death of the Master.
“We went to town first, bought a dress for you. I don't want you to meet my Two Teachers in tight dresses like this.” Zhu San opened his eyes wide while staring at the chest of the Wife with a mischievous look.
Bian Chi only smiled faintly at that, He did not care about the husband who was teasing him.
Zhu San then took out his robe, and put it on Bian Chi.
It made Bian Chi again smile thinly with a mind filled with questions, as sexy as if he was until the husband behaved like that to him.
The two immediately shot down their flying heights. The two planned to enter Baixan city on foot.
After passing through a strict examination, Zhu San finally managed to enter the city. But the atmosphere in Baixan city was very different from the last time they saw it.
“It looks like the entire population is being struck by fear so many of them are closing all their stores.” Zhu San said so to Bian Chi.
“It seems so, San Gege should we split up. And meet back half an hour later here.” Bian Chi said after they passed the fourth block. But I have not found a store that sells clothes.
Zhu San agreed, He then walked straight ahead while Bian Chi turned right. But without them noticing a pair of eyes were watching the two from behind the window on the second floor of an inn.
A moment later, Bian Chi seemed to be walking in a relaxed manner. But he realized that he was being followed by two people. As it turned on the deserted road, Bian Chi shot into the air.
The two who followed him were a couple dressed as two beggars. The female beggar was carrying a large bundle on his back.
Bian Chi watched the two, three meters above the two of them. He was amazed at why the two beggars were following him.
“Where did the girl go?” the woman dressed as a beggar asked the man who was dressed the same as her.
“Why are you two following me?!” Bian Chi's question from above their heads, shocked the two.
Yet there was no fear or awe on their faces, seeing himself able to float in the air. It made Bian Chi become more alert and kept his distance, as he floated down and set his feet on the ground.
“Who are Uncle and Aunt both? And why follow me?” Bian Chi spoke in a softer tone, upon realizing the two were about the same age as Song Ruo.
“Ah .. Forgive us Miss, We just want to know if the young man you were with was your lover or friend?” the woman smiled kindly and looked loving to him.
It was then that Bian Chi realized that the middle-aged woman's eyes, had a resemblance to her husband's.
“He's my husband, we've been married since a month ago. Does Aunt know him?” Bian Chi asked with a face of astonishment, looking at the look on the faces of the two who seemed to be shocked, after hearing his words.
The two beggars looked at each other, then the beggar woman asked him again, making Bian Chi surprised.
“Are you Song Yi the daughter of Mr Song Ruo or Qin Yu?”
“Not! I'm not Brother Yu. Who exactly is this Uncle and Aunt, why know Uncle Song Ruo too?” Bian Chi asked as he stared intently at the two.
That was when, the man who had a tompel on his right cheek, smiling made Bian Chi choked. The smile of the beggar man, was so similar to the smile of her husband.
“My name is Bian Chi, Who is This Uncle and Aunt? Why did Uncle ask my name? Is there anything you want to know about me and my husband?”
Bian Chi again asked with an increasingly sharp gaze. In his mind Bian Chi said:
”This aunt has eyes like the eyes of San Gege .. While this Uncle has a smile so similar to San Gege? Don't-don't …. Ah No way .. My father and mother-in-law have died. San Gege saw his own tomb.”
“Nona are you looking for a clothing store? Currently all stores other than the tavern have closed.” The beggar woman asked, trying to divert Bian Chi's questions.
“Actually Aunty, but where did Aunt know about it?” Bian Chi was even more astonished.
“Don't be surprised, You're wearing your husband's robe, surely your clothes are stained with blood and you want to replace them don't you?”
The beggar woman, thrusting a large bundle that had been on her back.
“In this Buntelan there are several dresses that seem to fit your body size. Take!” The beggar woman said and persuaded Bian Chi who was silent and did not extend his hand.
The beggar woman, immediately pulled Bian Chi's hand and forced him to grasp the bundle of cloth. After doing so, the woman and the male beggar smiled and left immediately.
Bian Chi was stunned and could only remain silent, He did not understand what had just happened. Bian Chi then checked for the bundle.
And he was surprised, when he saw a red silk dress that he thought only nobles could have such an expensive dress. Suspicion deepened in his mind.
Bian Chi immediately closed the bundle of cloth, He immediately chased the two beggars who had turned from the road earlier.
But he no longer found both. The curious Bian Chi, immediately traversed the path that He had gone through earlier until returning to the intersection where He and Zhu San had separated.
“Ah why did I forget to ask their names? I need to get in touch with San Gege.” right away Bian Chi immediately closed his eyes. He tried to contact Zhu San with his telepathy.
Ever since it absorbed the Pure energy of the Five Elements, the Telepathic powers of Zhu San and Bian Chi increased. Both can telepathically within a distance of up to one kilometer.
That was why, Zhu San came over a short while later. He looked at the wonder of the Wife who had now brought a bundle.
“Chie’er have you found a clothing store that is open?” Zhu San asked upon arrival in front of Bian Chi.
Bian Chi shook his head, then told him where he had obtained the bundle of cloth containing the very nice and expensive red dress.
“San Gege .. When I looked into the eyes of the Aunt, I looked into the eyes of yours. And that Uncle's smile, very similar to yours. I felt the affection of a mother and father, as they stared and spoke to me.”
The tears of Bian Chi suddenly flowed after He said so. At that time he also remembered if he had never seen the look on the faces of his parents from childhood.
Zhu San immediately hugged his wife and let her cry in his arms. It made a pair of eyes from behind the window of the inn on the second floor glare.
“Han Gege .. True you said, he didn't lie. There's no way our son would dare to behave like that if Miss Bian Chi isn't his wife.”
The beggar woman who was none other than Mu Rong said to the beggar man who turned out to be Zhu Han, her husband.
