Martial Peak

One month later, a man and a woman, who were covered in dust, arrived at a certain village.

The man’s face was slightly pale as he coughed from time to time. There was a spear on his back. On the other hand, the woman was petite while her face was alluring. There was a sword in her hand.

They were none other than Yang Kai and Luo Ting He, who had come all the way here from Grand Qi Temple.

It was just an ordinary village. Beside the dilapidated walls were kids who were playing around. Smoke could be seen billowing from the chimney of every house as the smell of food lingered in the air.

There were some plump women who called out to their kids to go home and have a meal.

The kids, who were playing around with some weapons made from wood in their hands, were curious about these visitors as they surrounded and examined them.

Xiao He sniffled and stroked her flat belly, “I’m hungry.”

She then looked pleadingly at Yang Kai.

Following a sigh, Yang Kai took the pouch from his waist and fished out a silver coin. He then said to the kids around him, “Whoever can bring us to have some delicious food will get this.”

The eyes of those kids brightened as they streamed towards him.

“I have some delicious food in my house. I’ll bring you there!”

“Come to my house!”

“They’re lying. They don’t eat meat at all. There’s salted fish in my house!”

…..

After a tug of war, a slightly older kid managed to grab the silver coin. Although he was punched a bit by the other kids because of that, he didn’t mind it. As he clenched the silver coin in his hand, he took Yang Kai’s clothes with his other hand and said, “Come with me!”

Yang Kai nodded and motioned for Xiao He to follow him.

They soon arrived at the kid’s house. His parents were around, wearing simple clothes that most farmers would own. Years of hard work had left some clear marks on their bodies.

The man wasn’t good with words as he smiled like a fool. Realising that Yang Kai and Xiao He were wealthy though, he treated them in a friendly manner.

On the other hand, his Wife was stocky, but she was pretty hospitable.

Seeing the silver coin presented to them by their son, they generously gave Yang Kai and Xiao He two bowls of rice as well as a salted fish they had kept for quite some time.

Xiao He picked up the bowl and wolfed down the meal.

The man was squatting at the door and smoking while the woman stood on the side with a smile. The kid was seated by the table as he watched Xiao He devour the food with a pair of curious eyes.

“Are you not going to eat?” After finishing her own food, Xiao He looked up and realised that Yang Kai hadn’t had anything.

“You can have it,” Yang Kai put on a smile.

Without hesitation, Xiao He picked up his bowl of rice and gobbled it up.

It was hard to imagine that such a small woman had such a big appetite. In fact, Yang Kai had brought quite a bit of money with him when he left Grand Qi Temple, but barely one month later, he had used up almost all of it to buy food for Xiao He.
