The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 27 (Part 2)
Chapter 27: Proposal (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
In the blink of an eye, it was a new dawn.
As if overnight, the wheat turned completely yellow. The villagers were busy mowing the wheat, and no longer had the intention to help go into the mountain to find anyone. What was more, they all thought a child as big as Xiao Lang had disappeared into the mountain for a day and a night, how could he still be alive?
At Qin-shi’s begging, Qin Ruhai led the temporary workers hired from the town and was going to look for him again.
But before they set off, they saw Xiao Lang walking out with a giant wolf on his shoulders covered in blood.
“Ah Lang!”
Qin-shi was stunned for a moment and then rushed towards Xiao Lang like a gust of wind. She pushed away the wolf corpse that was in the way, grabbed Xiao Lang’s head, and slapped him on the buttocks fiercely: “You ruthless child, who let you go into the mountain! If you have any misfortune, how can you make me worthy of your father?! If you really don’t want to live, you can die in front of me. Do you have to run into the mountain to feed the wolves?! Alive didn’t see a person and dead didn’t see a corpse, do you know how worried we are, huh?” Finally, she was unable to beat him. She half-knelt on the ground, hugging Xiao Lang’s legs, and burst into tears.
Shu Wan leaned against Qin Ruhai’s arm, biting the handkerchief. She looked at Xiao Lang’s bloody face, watching him let her mother beat and scold him but motionless. His eyes were dead gray, and her tears couldn’t help falling down.
“Aunt, I’m going to see my father.” Xiao Lang pushed Qin-shi’s hand away, bent down to pick up the wolf’s body, and walked towards Xiao’s house step by step.
Shu Maoting stepped forward, helped his wife up, and comforted her: “Don’t cry. Ah Lang will be fine. Let’s follow him quickly. I think there’s something wrong with what he looks like. He’s covered in blood and I don’t know if he’s injured or not...”
“He’s fine. He’s just full of wolf blood.” Qin Ruhai said calmly. His eyes were glittering under his thick eyebrows. This kid was not an ordinary person.
Although he said so, Qin-shi was still worried and hurriedly chased after him.
When Xiao Lang carried the wolf into the gate of Xiao’s house, Zhang-shi was covering her nose with one hand and holding the firewood in the other. When she heard the movement at the door, she looked back casually, only to be frightened by the blood-stained figure. She let out a harsh scream, throwing the firewood and running for her life.
As if he didn’t see or hear, Xiao Lang stared straight at the big red coffin in the middle of the yard. After standing there for a long time, he walked over step by step and knelt down with a thud. He put the wolf leader’s body in front of him, put the dagger in his hand under the neck of the wolf leader, and cut it up bit by bit.
“Father, did you see it? I killed it. You tell me. I will cut it as many times as it bit you...”
The blood of the wolf kept spewing out, and soon it dyed a large area of the ground red, which was even more dazzling than the red paint on the coffin.
The Qin family and others, Xiao Shouyun and his wife who came over all stopped in horror. They never imagined Xiao Lang would say such a thing.
Seeing the wolf’s head cut off, Xiao Lang moved the dagger to the wolf’s belly, Zhang-shi stopped him without thinking: “Don’t cut it! A wolf’s skin can sell for a lot of money!” Seeing Xiao Lang’s expression, it was clear that he wanted to cut the giant wolf into pieces. This was simply too tyrannical!
As if Xiao Lang had not heard it, he continued the movements in his hands. The strong smell of blood rushed to his face, but he was not affected at all.
Zhang-shi was in pain and wanted to drag the wolf out, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she met Xiao Lang’s blood-stained eyes.
Qin Ruhai sighed deeply: “Let him do it. Maybe this will make him feel better. Maoting, go and cook some soothing soup for him to drink.” In this kind of situation, he couldn’t swallow anything. It was useless to bring it. He just hoped he had a firm will and woke up soon.
Shu Maoting went with a heavy face.
When he came back, Xiao Lang refused to drink. He was forced by a few people and poured in, and then he kept kneeling there until the whole wolf was cut out of shape. Qin Ruhai couldn’t stand it anymore. He carried him away with everyone and asked someone to clean up the wolf’s body before releasing him.
The sun moved from east to west and darkness fell again.
Xiao Lang didn’t eat or drink, he just knelt up straight like that, but he didn’t even shed any tears.
The Qin family went back, and the Xiao family fell asleep, leaving only two white lanterns hanging in the yard.
“Ah Lang, come back tomorrow to watch your father. Go back with your aunt first, okay?” Qin-shi crouched down beside Xiao Lang and asked softly. Her voice was a little hoarse.
Xiao Lang did not speak.
Shu Maoting helped Qin-shi up, shook his head helplessly, and the couple turned back home step by step.
Under the moonlight, there was only a kneeling figure that remained.
Qin-shi hadn’t slept well for two whole nights, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all. She whispered to Shu Maoting: “Tomorrow morning, you go and pick up Ah Lan. Shouwang loved her so much before his death. He’ll be buried in the earth at dusk. Ah Lan has to come back and kneel down. You can’t keep it from her. Moreover, although she is ignorant, Ah Lang cares about her the most. The two have grown up together since they were young. There are some things that Ah Lang doesn’t want to tell us. Maybe he can tell Ah Lan. He will feel better after he tells her...”
“Mm, I know, but what will Ah Lang do in the future? He’s still so young...”
Qin-shi’s eyes lit up. She stood up and said: “Let’s recognize him as our son? That way he can live with us!”
Yeah, bring ah lan back... His bright sun to bring him out of darkness.
