Chapter 9 – Avoiding the enemy by all ans, Part 6
This woke up Lu Wushuang; she opened her eyes and asked, “Sha Dan, what are you doing?”
Yang Guo was feeling embarrassed and guilty, he mumbled, “Nothing, it’s just a mosquito biting my face.”
Lu Wushuang rembered how she slept with him last night, her face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and gently said, “Sha Dan, Sha Dan!” Her voice carried a soft and caring tone. After a while she raised her head and asked, “Sha Dan, how co you know the Ancient Tomb’s “Beauty Fist Technique”?”
Yang Guo said, “When I dream at night many beautiful won and minks ca and taught a stance, that’s how I know.”
Lu Wushuang gave a ‘humph’ sound; she knew that he wouldn’t answer anything about it if she asked again. Just as she was about to change the subject, she suddenly heard the ringing sound of Li Mochou’s donkey. They headed in a northwest direction and then returned. Li Mochou thought about how the ‘Five Poison Codex’ was in Lu Wushuang’s hands; another day without the book ant another day of danger, she didn’t dare to waste any ti. Before the sky beca bright she rode her donkey and searched everywhere nearby.
Yang Guo said, “When she can’t find us she will leave. It’s a pity that you’re hurt and can’t move much, otherwise we would steal a pair of horses and gallop for one day and one night, how would she be able to catch up then?”
Lu Wushuang angrily said, “You’re not hurt, why don’t you go and steal a horse and gallop for a day and night?”
Yang Guo thought, “This girl takes everything to heart, I just said sothing without thinking and she got angry.” But he wanted to see her angry expression and wanted to anger her further and said, “If it weren’t for you begging to take you to Jiangnan, I would have long gone.”
Lu Wushuang was furious and said, “Just go, go! Sha Dan, just looking at you makes angry, just go and die by yourself.”
Yang Guo laughed and said, “Huh, I’ll miss you if you die.” He was afraid that Lu Wushuang was going to get angry for real and aggravate her injury so he laughed and exited the room. He found an ink block and returned to the room. He placed the ink block in a basin of water and rubbed it about, and then suddenly he touched Lu Wushuang’s face. Lu Wushuang wasn’t prepared for this hand coming towards her and touching her face, she scolded, “Rotten Sha Dan, bastard Sha Dan.” She then saw him take out a pile of ash from underneath the bed, he sared the ash and brushed the water on his face, his face was dirty and unsightly, as if his face was full of pimples and boils.
She then understood, “Although I’ve changed into Taoist clothes my face hasn’t changed, if my master catches up with , how could she not recognize ?” She then sared the ink water over her face. Girls naturally love to make themselves as beautiful as possible, although she was saring ink water, she applied it as if she was applying make up.
The two finished with their disguises. Yang Guo stretched out his leg underneath the bed and unsealed the two Taoist’s pressure points. Lu Wushuang saw that Yang Guo didn’t even take a look and after so kicks the two Taoists made a relieved grunt. She was secretly in awe of him and thought, “That Sha Dan’s kung fu is ten tis better than mine.” But she didn’t show any sign of this and instead kept on scolding him, as if she thought nothing of him.
Yang Guo went to the market to look for a cart but the market was too small, there were no carts for rent, he could only buy two horses. That day, Lu Wushuang’s injury had eased; both of them rode on the horses and slowly went southeast.
They rode for a few hours; Yang Guo was afraid that she was tired so he helped her down off the horse and sat on a rock and rested. He rembered how he almost treated Lu Wushuang with disrespect; although he felt that treating Lu Wushuang with disrespect wasn’t anything serious, he would have done sothing disrespectful to his Gu Gu. He was a bastard. He was insulting and cursing himself when Lu Wushuang suddenly asked, “Sha Dan, why aren’t you talking to .”
Yang Guo smiled and didn’t reply. He suddenly thought of sothing and asked, “Ai ya, crap, I’m so dumb.”
Lu Wushuang said, “You are dumb!”
Yang Guo said, “When we disguised ourselves, the three Taoists saw us. If they tell your master, won’t that be a disaster?”
Lu Wushuang pursed her lips and smiled, then said, “Those three Taoists rode past us long ago and my master is still behind us. What’s wrong with you Sha Dan, what were you in a daze about, you didn’t even see them ride past us.”
Yang Guo gave an ‘ah’ sound and laughed. Lu Wushuang felt that his laugh had a hidden aning behind it, she rembered the words she just said, “What’s wrong with you Sha Dan, what were you in a daze about”, she couldn’t stop her face from turning red. At this ti, they suddenly heard the neigh of a horse.
Lu Wushuang turned around and saw two beggars approaching from around the corner. Yang Guo took a look and saw a head peep out and withdraw back behind the edge of the mountain, it was Shen Zhifan and Ji Qingxu. He thought, “So the three Taoists told the Beggar Clan that we’ve dressed up as Taoists.”
He held up his hand and said, “Beggar masters, if you want to ask for food or money, old Taoist here has already given as much as he could today, you’ll have to leave empty handed.”
One of the beggars had a voice like an overwhelming bell, he said, “Even if you shaved your head and disguised yourselves as a monk or a nun, you won’t be able to get past my eyes and ears. Don’t play dumb anymore, just get it over with and co with us to see the elder and sort this matter out.”
Yang Guo thought, “Those two old beggars have eight pockets on their back, I’m afraid that they might be very skilled.”
The two beggars were eight band mbers, they saw that the two of them were at most twenty years old yet they managed to defeat four band four mbers and three band five mbers. They thought that there must sothing strange going on here.
