Ycb, Anh, you are welcome. Hari, here you go ...
Chapter 10 Aware of imminent death
(Translated by Foxs)
Xiao Yu laughed. She seemed to forget that pair of scary hands already.
But Lu Xiaofeng let her go. With a deliberate straight face he said, Indeed you cannot tell lies. I dont like you.
Xiao Yu looked at him; she rolled her eyes, and suddenly said, You think I was really scared that you might like me?
You arent scared? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Yu shook her head; she said unhurriedly, I told you all those things, it was because I cant tell lies to begin with.
Lu Xiaofeng guffawed.
The sun had just risen, illuminating her apple-like face, it also illuminated her nicely budding breasts.
Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, Whether you are telling the truth or not, youd better put on your clothes now.
Xiao Yu blinked. She said, You have looked at me anyway, why should I put on my clothes?
She untied the dark green turban on her head, letting her jet-black, soft and shiny long hair fell loose. Turning toward the sun, she said, I have never basked in the sun here, I really want to strip naked and have a full-body sunbathing.
The sun was shining bright, the sea was deep blue; to be able to strip naked and bathing in the sun was a delightful thing indeed. But Lu Xiaofeng cried out, You must not do that!
Why? Xiao Yu asked.
Lu Xiaofeng said, Because because I am a wolf [i.e. lecher].
Xiao Yu said, I am not afraid of wolf, could it be that the wolf is afraid of me?
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, The wolf is not afraid of you, but the wolf is afraid that he himself might
He has not finished this sentence when suddenly his countenance changed, because he suddenly discovered that water has entered the bottom of the boat.
Can you swim? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
I cant, Xiao Yu replied.
This time it looks like we are finished, Lu Xiaofeng said.
What do you mean finished? Xiao Yu asked.
Lu Xiaofeng said, That Gong Zhu [see Chapter 9] of yours, not only she wanted to kill me, she wanted to kill you to close your mouth as well.
I know, Xiao Yu drily said.
You do? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Yu said, She bored two holes at the bottom of this boat and sealed them with wax. Soaked in seawater, the wax dissolves, seawater bubbling up, then this boat will sink.
Lu Xiaofeng cried out; he said, Since you already knew it, why do you still want to ride on this boat?
Xiao Yu said, Because I have been wondering for a long time, how does it feel to drown in the sea?
Lu Xiaofeng was dumbstruck. He had never imagined that this little girl, who appeared very clever and quick-witted, was actually a muddle-headed little muddled egg.
Xiao Yu said, I know that in your heart right now you are cursing me as little muddled egg. Actually, if you did not meet me, you would still be drowning in the sea. And now you have someone to accompany you; whats not good about it?
With a wry smile Lu Xiaofeng said, I just have a little regret.
What is it? Xiao Yu asked.
I regret that just now I did not like you for real, Lu Xiaofeng replied.
Xiao Yu blushed; but she could not help giggling.
Lu Xiaofeng stared at her. What are you laughing at?
Xiao Yu did not answer. She fished out a large lump of yellow wax from a board on the bow, and cut it into two-halves, kneaded the wax until it turned soft, and used it to plug the holes at the bottom of the boat. When this wax dissolves, what are we going to do? she muttered to herself.
I dont know, Lu Xiaofeng said.
I know, Xiao Yu said, I have prepared seventeen, eighteen pieces of wax like this.
Lu Xiaofeng was pleasantly surprised. Turns out you are not a little muddled egg, but a little fox, he said.
Xiao Yu made an exaggerated sigh and said, Although I want to know what it feels like to drown in the sea, but I have never had anybody like me; if I die without rhyme or reason, dont you think Id die in vain?
Lu Xiaofeng roared in laughter and said, If that Gong Zhu of yours see you back alive and well, I wonder if she will be scared to death?
She wont, Xiao Yu said.
How do you know that she wont? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Yu said, Because each time she sends me to do something for her, she always tries to kill me to shut my mouth; too bad each time I did not die. Each time she sees me back alive and well, she seems to be very happy instead, because she knows that she can send me to do something else for her.
Since you knew that she always tries to kill you, why do you keep doing things for her? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Yu sighed. Because if I dont, she said, I will die for real very quickly.
Lu Xiaofeng also could not help sighing. To be together with that Honeybee, it was really not easy to keep on living. He knew that when he was back on the island, the Honeybee would definitely come after him. He cant even think of a place to hide.
Xiao Yu stared at him. Suddenly she said, You are a good man.
Lu Xiaofeng laughed. Finally; your vision is indeed not bad, he said.
Xiao Yu said, Although your two strips of moustache that look like your eyebrows are a bit annoying, but all in all you cannot be considered ugly.
Lu Xiaofeng said, When you grow up a bit, I cant say for sure, but you might like my moustache.
Xiao Yu sighed again. She said, Too bad you are Lu Xiaofeng.
Whats so bad about me being Lu Xiaofeng? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Yu said, If you are not Lu Xiaofeng, I will definitely marry you. Even becoming your little concubine, I dont care.
Lu Xiaofeng said, So I am Lu Xiaofeng, why cant you marry me?
Because I dont want to be a widow, Xiao Yu said.
Marrying Lu Xiaofeng becomes a widow? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Yu sighed and said, That Gong Zhu of mine is intent on taking your life, Ninth Young Master also does not necessarily want you to keep on living. If I married you, perhaps not even three days I would already become a widow.
Noon.
The skiff finally reached the shore. The two of them were so tired that their muscles were weary and their strength exhausted; they lay down on the beach like dead people.
Nobody knows how much time has passed. Suddenly Xiao Yu said, Being a widow seems to be fun.
Its not fun, Lu Xiaofeng said, Not fun at all.
Its fun, Xiao Yu insisted, It must be very fun.
Why? Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Yu said, Sooner or later a woman must get married. After she got married shell have a husband. But a widow does not. If one can live a free and easy life, with nobody to mind her business, and she can even steal someone elses husband, wont that be very fun?
Lu Xiaofeng was dumbstruck again. In all honesty he has never imagined that this little girl could have this kind of thought. That being a widow was very fun, this was the first time he had ever heard such concept.
Why dont you say anything? Xiao Yu asked, Dont you think what I said makes a lot of sense?
With a bitter laugh Lu Xiaofeng said, Turns out not only you are a little fox, you are a little muddled egg as well.
Xiao Yu laughed. But dont you worry, she said, This little muddled egg does not wish to marry you, a big muddled egg.
She sprang up and said, I want to go home, what about you?
I Lu Xiaofeng said. He was unable to continue, because he really did not know where to go.
He was not afraid that someone would harm him, he was used to this kind of thing long ago. But today was the day Sha Man got married. To have him watch Sha Man was married to another man, he really cannot bear it.
Wave after wave came crashing onto the beach; he suddenly realized that this was the beach he first landed on this island.
Xiao Yu asked, Are you going to come with me or not?
Lu Xiaofeng said, I have a very nice house around here, do you want to see?
You are lying, Xiao Yu said, I dont like men who lie.
I also have a friend waiting for me in that house, Lu Xiaofeng said, His belly is big, not only he is very fun, he never tell lies either.
Xiao Yu doubled over in laughter. She said, Turns out not only you can tell lies, you can toot your horn really loud as well. There are all kinds of men in the world, but men who dont lie, I have never seen any.
Lu Xiaofeng said, If you dont believe me, why not see for yourself?
Alright, Xiao Yu said, Going is going, whats the big deal? Besides She puckered her lips and laughed, and then continued, Besides, I am not afraid of you, it is you who are scared of me.
