Assassin Farmer

Chapter 129: Harmony (2)

“You… Did you just laugh? A Yao!” When she lifted up unintentionally, Su Shuilian couldn’t imagine that she would see her husband grinning. At this moment he… he…he was actually laughing at her! Wah! How mean! She had even squeezed her brain to find all the words she could use to advise him. 

“I’m listening!” Lin Si Yao hurried to hide his smile that had filled his eyes. He nodded seriously as to show he had memorized what she had told him, and that he didn’t miss a word. 

“Then, repeat what I just said!” Su Shuilian had almost anchored her hands at her waist and glared at him. However, no matter how fierce the words were, when they came out of her mouth, they had lost their wild, fierce features.

“You want me to repeat it again?” Lin Si Yao smiled, hugging her tight, burying his head to her neck. His hot breath turned her ear red. 

“Of… Of course…” She stayed strong, trying to prevent her from falling into his arms. 

“Alright, I shall repeat it… We still have a long, long journey ahead…” 

He picked out the unimportant details to repeat to her. Then, he stooped and claimed her lips. His lips caressed hers. “Although we still have our life ahead of us, we shouldn’t waste…” 

“No… Don’t…” She held on to her last wisp of consciousness to push him. “Lin Si Yao! Everybody’s resting out there.” When she said that, she couldn’t help but blush. God! What was she talking about!” 

“… Alright, then we will continue later…” His vibrating chest revealed that he was laughing hard. Indeed, she lifted her eyes to see his beaming face.

“I… I’m going to see the kids!” Su Shuilian hastily stood up from his lap and re-adjusted her clothes. She didn’t even look at him before jumping off the carriage. 

Watching her, Lin Si Yao couldn’t cease his laughter. How could he want her at this moment! The previous time they had in the carriage was her last limit. 

Lin Si Yao stopped smiling. He leaned against the soft bed with his arms behind his nape. Closing his eyes, he recalled the reasons she had just told him… 

Not long after that, some commotion from outside the carriage had pulled him out of his thoughts. 

Lin Si Yao turned around, got up from the soft bed, and jumped off the carriage. The scene in front of his eyes dumbfounded him. He didn’t know if he should cry or smile. 

A group of villagers dressed in bandit costumes wielding their swords had surrounded them. 

“Don’t… Don’t move! Give us all of your money!” A masked bandit who seemed to be the leader of this gang waved his big saber. When his fellows quieted down, he turned and shouted at Lin Si Yao’s group. 

“Boss, the carriages!” A young bandit reminded him timely. “We can sell the carriages for a lot of money!” 

“Err… Right! The carriages! You… Hurry to leave all valuable belongings and leave this place! Or else… Or else… Don’t blame…this boss…. this boss won’t show any mercy!” He was the chief but his stuttering threats as if they were the ones who got robbed.

After he finished yelling, around twenty ‘bandits’ gazed at the people they had besieged, waiting for them to throw out their valuable belongings and run away. That was how they could have a big catch. Truth was, there weren’t many people traveling through this path. It was really rare for them to have such a big chance to fill their pockets. So, no matter what, they couldn’t yield.

However, it didn’t happen as they had envisioned. Within the short time of a blink of an eye, the ones who had to run for their lives weren’t the others but themselves. 

“Sir… Sir… Please spare my life!!!” The chief sobbed and begged while hugging Situ Yun’s leg. 

“Am I really old?” Situ Yun arrogantly glanced at him, but he couldn’t help but roll his eyes too. This mob wasn’t enough for him to wield his sword, and they dared to learn to be thieves. Tch, tch, if his Uncle had taken action, they would have lay motionless on the ground by now. 

“Er… Young master, please spare our lives!” The chief immediately changed the way he addressed the other. 

“Senior Uncle, how should we deal with them?” Situ Yun turned to see Lin Si Yao who was protecting his wife and children several meters away from him. 

“Disabled them!” Lin Si Yao spoke coldly. With this sentence, it was enough to guess the future of those pathetic bandits. 

“Don’t… Please, you noble hero, please don’t! We still have old parents to support… Our children are crying in hunger… They are even younger than those two… If we’re not backed in the corner, we wouldn’t come up with such a stupid solution and rob you guys… Boohoo!!!” He was a man that looked in his forties but he could cry easily while talking. Indeed, he had made Situ Yun baffled. 

“I think you should let them go! They have to get out here and work to feed their parents… Unlike someone who doesn’t want to accept his real parents!” Xue Li’s cold voice arose. The ones who knew the hidden story had their hair rising. Situ Yun reacted first. He pulled the uncle who was hugging his leg, running out of the area, away from Lin Si Yao. 

Strangely, Lin Si Yao didn’t fume at all. His eyes raked through Xue Li then pulled Su Shuilian to a big rock by the stream. “You sit here and rest for a while. After I’m done with them, we’ll depart. Don’t forget you still owe me…” 

“Ah!” Su Shuilian suddenly got what he meant. She raised her hands to cover his mouth. She didn’t dare to look around, shyly preventing him from mentioning things that would make her blush. 

Lin Si Yao smiled, pulling her hand down. “What are you thinking about? You’re so red! I just want to say that you owe me a dish of steamed buns. I’m so hungry.” Right after that, the corners of his mouth curved. He stood up, walking toward the mountain bandits. 

“Go! Take me to your place! Let’s see if you have old parents and children to feed. If I find you’ve lied, don’t expect any mercy.” Lin Si Yao stood in front of the chief, ordering coldly. 

“Yes, yes, yes, we don’t dare to lie a word. Hero, please, come this way!” The chief hurried to get up and lead Lin Si Yao on a trail to the mountain. 

“Tsk, tsk! Only you could subdue him. I wonder who he takes after, so stubborn and awkward.” Xue Li brought Feng Ruo Er to Su Shuilian, smiling and shaking his head.  

“He’s just not good at showing his emotion. Actually, he’s not as cold-blooded as you’ve seen,” Su Shuilian smiled, explaining. 

Xue Li and Feng Ruo Er exchanged smiles. They had already given this daughter-in-law full marks. 

“Thank you! If you haven’t advised him, I think… He wouldn’t save me just now…” Feng Ruo Er held Su Shuilian’s hands, thanking sincerely. Right when the mountain bandits created a mess, her son had pushed her away from an incoming attack. Although he was still cold, at least, she knew he had something for her in his heart. It’s enough for her!
