The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pk 08 part 5

This frees him from embarrassment, what else if it is remembered that now many people come to the place. These are the villagers who just dared to come out after the fight was over.

"Ah, it's still a good thing Sam-wi can escape their braking. Please Sam-wi leave this hamlet immediately, because otherwise they will come again soon and trouble Sam-wi (Three Masters)." The one who said so was a thin grandfather, his face imagining unease.

Keng Hong furrowed his brows. He's been helping and he can't be bothered to help this lady. "Lopek, we're not afraid to face their threats. Just let them come, we'll beat them all up! Right now we need to take care of this injured sister. Who among the Cu-wi (Guests) would help us and lend us a place to rest and seek treatment?"

However, the many pairs of eyes only looked at him with wide openness, full of worry and no one offered his place. The grandfather quickly said,

"Enghiong (People who are brave) hope to understand our situation. They are a herd of land crocodiles that live in a hamlet not far from here. If only they had heard that one of us dared to help Sam-wi, of course the one who helped would have been doomed...!"

"Coward!" Suddenly Sim Lai Sek who had injured his shoulder exclaimed furiously. "Do we not think we will defend him who helps us? And we're willing to pay the room rent and the price of the medicine!"

Keng Hong only smiled and understood the curiosity of the young man, who turned out to be handsome like his great-grandson, his eyes wide and his face imagined courage.

"Sorry, Senghiong. We certainly believe in the prowess of Sam-wi, but will Sam-wi stay in this hamlet forever?"

"What...?!" Now the beautiful girl asked, her eyes widened in wonder and Keng Hong was forced to shift her gaze because the eyes were so beautiful that she was worried in case she would gawk at the beauty.

"Miss, and Siauw-te, hope Ji-wi understands their concerns. Lopek is right. Indeed, as long as we are here, those criminals will not dare to come to disturb. But there is no way we can stay here forever and where we have gone and then they come on a rampage, taking revenge on the inhabitants of this hamlet, isn't it the same as us harming the people here?"

Enci and the sister were dumbfounded and nodded. "Ahhh, then what's the point of having a security guard? What's the point of having a local authority? Isn't here the head of the vice-government hamlet?" Sim Lai Sek was still trying to express his curiosity.

The grandfather shook his head and let out a long breath. "Siauw-enghiong, this is how Enghiong still does not know? Since I was a child until now it has been grandfather, where is there a guarantee of security and safety for the common people? There are always security guards, but the sad but undeniable reality is that the security guards here are just the name of the security guards, but in reality it is a security intruder. They become only mercenary protectors, who use power for their own pleasure. There is also a magnifier only his name is big, but his soul is small and despotic. Never mind, hope Sam-wi understands the state of us poor little people and does not add to our already heavy burden."

Without waiting any longer he immediately bowed and leaned on the injured body of Sim Lai Sek. This teenager was already very weak, not only by his wound on his shoulder that broke his bones, but also by weakness due to the loss of a lot of blood.

"Outside the hamlet, in the forest to the west there was an empty temple. Sam-wi can rest there. Sam-wi can bring food and medicine," also said the grandfather who actually put a sense of admiration and sympathy to three young people who had dared to oppose the land crocodiles which had been a disturbance in the hamlet since long ago.

After Ciang Bi, the girl, buying medicines and groceries, set out the three of them out of the hamlet entering the forest west and sure enough, just to say the least, in the middle of the forest they found an old temple that was empty, but good for shelter and mengaso. Keng Hong then laid Lai Sek's body on the floor that had been cleaned by Ciang Bi. Then he helped the girl to drug and treat Lai Sek.

After the teenage youth took medicine, ate porridge and fell into a deep sleep, Ciang Bi and Keng Hong sat in the outer room of the temple, sitting in the temple, on the fine stones that seem to have been used to meditate the priests of the temple. Until a long time they were silent and every time they met a look, the girl lowered her face and the red and fresh lips were always smiling shyly.

"It's got..."

"Ahh, don't mention me, miss. I'm a regular person who happens to be able to help you. My name is Keng Hong, Cia Keng Hong."

"But your cleverness is amazing, Taihiap. It really makes my heart so amazed."

"Your swordsmanship is great too, Miss. I'm the fool who can be compared to you. You are young but very good at swordplay, your movements are deft and light, your swordplay is beautiful as an angel dancing and you are beautiful, Miss."

The girl quickly looked over and looked at Keng Hong's face. But he did not see the eyes of the brazen, only saw a ray of honest admiration emanated out of the pair of sharp eyes so that he did not get angry, even then looked down with a red face, his lips were smiling, his eyes were twitching and his heart was throbbing full of excitement. What woman in the world would not be the heart of his heart if he received such honest praise from a very strong and handsome young man?

For a moment they were silent without saying a word. This state of affairs did not bother Keng Hong who enjoyed the beautiful scenery in front of him, that long smooth black hair was unraveled, that gorgeous face, that pair of eyes like the eyes of a hong bird, that was, the small nose is sharp that the lobe can move a little at the time of feeling embarrassed and red, a beautiful mouth shape with a pair of lips that seem to be painted red, pink and always fresh, red, a pair of cheeks reddish like a half-ripened tomato, a small chin tapered which if moved raises a dimple on it.
