Hua Xu Yin Chapter 6.3

That night, I lie in some tripod on the piano accompanied by Mu Yan and not knowing when to sleep. After listening to Jun Wei say four more words, Mu Yan took me back to my room. But when I woke up, he had to leave. Just like three years ago at the mountain with Mu Yan. We were always unwittingly missing each other. Yet we did not have a large amount of feelings, we just let this place become empty.

The place we need to go to now is Si Fang city, the capital of country Zheng. After hearing this name, it sounds like the city should be constructed according to some profound principles of geometry. Actually, it is all a big misunderstanding, the city is named Si Fang because they people who live there like to play mahjong*. The trio of Jun Wei, Xiao Huang and me made haste to the city- the reason being that Master Jun sent a carrier pigeon saying that he had found a job there for me. This time, the client’s ident.i.ty was fairly special. She was a lady who resided in the imperial palace of the Zheng Court.   

The mountainous and fluvial State of Zheng means that most of the time we could only travel by boat. However, very few boatmen agreed to take us due to Xiao Huang’s presence. It wasn’t easy to find a one who preferred money over his life. They would often have to pay with the other foot**to board the pirate ship. Considering the horses did not want to deal with Xiao Huang in fear of being eaten, all we can do is endure this. But then money will become scarce in the long run, then it is inevitable that we won’t be able to successfully reach our destination. At the last resort, Jun Wei had to force the boatman: ” You want money, I have none. You want my one life, you can try. But if you don’t I’ll let my tiger kill you.” I did not expect this approach to be exceptionally easy to use. We were almost unimpeded near the destination, but the people were caught and the local authorities fined a lot of money from us which used last of our money for our journey.

At this time we are about fifty li*** away from Si Fang City which is an estimate of three more days to go, but we have money. While on the way, Jun Wei recently composed a novel, Popular SM Route, it should be a useful market, you can help buy the novel so we can earn money for our journey. Xiao Huang and I are ecstatic about finding a way out of this and the people in Guan Dao are happily putting out their stalls. I have deep hope for this. 

In the end we didn’t go.

Afterwards we found out the reason Jun Wei’s book is not fully equipped with erotic illusions, but there is no such awareness, just feeling desperate. After thinking for a long time, I realized the only way is to have Xiao Huang go against nature and eat gra.s.s.
