Porter of Two Worlds - Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Unlucky Child
The morning breezing light shone right on Bi Bo River, and when its light shone on the ripples, it felt like the river was layered with gold coating. When looked at from afar, it stretched all the way towards the far side of the river.
But to De Yang Town’s dock, the Bi Bo River’s beautiful scene did not bring them any happiness; everything was as busy as usual, but the atmosphere was intensely strange.
A day before in the midnight, the managers of the dock were all executed, their heads fell onto the ground, their bodies were mutilated into pieces and thrown into the river to feed the fish. The awful bloodied stench still haunted the dock and the wailings of the dead could still be vaguely heard in the breezing morning wind….
In the morning, on the dock, the newly selected managers all stood obediently aligned, no words were spoken and they would glance towards the direction of the town from time to time.
When a young man in black clothes with a spear behind his back appeared, the entire dock’s atmosphere intensified to a whole new level; the people were still busy doing their things, but their voice lowered down tremendously and they became even more careful with what they were doing.
Everything was nervous and careful.
“The Che Family’s might is still the same, like the blazing sun in the skies on this dock, a Che Family alone could already apply so much pressure to an entire busy dock!”
Far away, a “gangster girl” muttered.
“Second young master, you’re here. I’ve prepared a huge ship and 100 men for you…..”
Before the young man got onto the dock, the new head manager walked out and carefully spoke to the young man, fearing that any action would offend the young man.
“There’s no need for that! I can do it alone!”
Che Jiang coldly glanced at the manager and threw out only a few words.
After that, he ignored everything. He delivered a kick and a seven meter long wooden plank flew out. It fell into the river and swiftly dashed towards the front.
Just as the wooden plank flew out, the young man dashed out as well, landing right on the plank just as it landed in the water. He then continued towards the jungle on the opposite side of the river!
By the time the driving force of the wooden plank faded, he was only a few tens of meters away from the dock. With a powerful sweep of his spear under the water, the young man sped up the travelling speed once more!
After the young man departed from the dock, the tensed atmosphere was lifted right away, everyone let out a relieved sigh instantly as if they just gotten out of an execution ground.
Che Jiang calmly drifted in the water, peaceful and relaxed.
But deep in the water ahead, there was a two meter long fish that was about to charge out of the water to enjoy the breezing wind in the morning; after all, the other fish in the water was also doing the same.
In the end, the fish slammed right onto the wooden plank, the wet wooden plank went slanted aside and alongside how slippery it was….
Pu tong—-
Everyone on the dock could hear the sound of something falling into the water clearly from afar.
In that split second, silence shrouded the entire dock, everyone’s expression froze on their faces and they were doing their best to hold their laughter in.
Pu—-
Upon seeing the arrogant second young master returning to the wooden plank like a drowned chicken, a man couldn’t help himself anymore and burst out laughing.
He who knew that he did something stupid couldn’t even react in time, and a shadow was already in front of his head.
Wuuuu—-
A wooden plank descended from the skies and slammed onto his mouth, sending him flying in a bloodied mess….
The dock turned quiet once more, but everyone’s expression became even more twisted; their bodies shook in fear while also struggling to restrain their laughter.
“HAHA HAHAHA, Che Jiang, serves you right for trying to show off when you are not skilful at all!”
The lady, Lan Xing who was disguising herself as a man, was rolling on the ground laughing as she witnessed everything….
When Che Jiang was about to enter the jungle on the opposite side of the river, Lan Xing entered the dock. She simply brought something for a group of villagers and the villagers started taking her towards the opposite on their rafts.
Apparently trying to show off would only bring bad luck, this saying fit well to a certain someone. Che Jiang’s misfortunes were still far from over.
Upon getting closer to the jungle, Che Jiang saw a bunch of black-furred monkeys binging on fruits. He coldly glanced at them, his feet tapped on the wooden plank and immediately, he ascended into the skies as he attempted to dash through the trees and enter the jungle.
Perhaps it was the unfortunate aura around him, but just as he flew into the air, an overwhelming number of fruit were hurled towards like a thunderstorm.
Hmph….
A smirk appeared on his face, his spear was swung around like a whirlwind and he thrust it towards every fruit hurled at him with the spear tip.
His speed was undoubtedly quick, there was not a single fruit that managed to hit him.
But then again, he forgot that fruits were often squishy….
Pu pu pu….
These fruits were smashed entirely in the air and the unfortunate Che Jiang was dyed in different colours by the fruits!
Apart from that, a drip of awfully sour fruit juice entered his eyes….
“Damn it!”
The unlucky man unconsciously rubbed his eyes right away, causing him to miss a step; his footwork that was originally going to land on the tree branches went astray and once more, he fell back into the water.
This was the second time….
“You damn monkeys!”
Che Jiang angrily shouted, his eyes were so red that he felt like eating someone alive… just like eating monkeys….
But the monkeys scattered away quickly after letting out some mocking cries!
Che Jiang stood back up, from where he fell…. Ughh…
Anyway, Che Jiang got up on his feet again, dashed through the trees and headed deep into the forest.
“Zhi zhi zhi—”
A black-furred monkey grinned and shouted at him.
“Monkey!”
Che Jiang’s eyes widened in anger, he gritted and after snapping a tree branch, he started aiming at the monkey and threw it out like a projectile.
Yet he was a step slower, the monkey already hurled another fruit at him; of course, a single fruit would never reach him, it was easily evaded by Che Jiang and it continued flying into the shadows behind him.
Che Jiang, who was about to throw the tree branch out, froze right away, as a buzzing was heard coming from behind him. He turned around and his face darkened right away.
The next thing he saw was a black cloud made of thumb-sized hornets flying towards him….
“Eff me….!”
No matter how strong he was, he would be no match against these massive sized hornets, he would definitely end up tragically if he tried to fight. Hence, without even thinking, he dove right towards the river again.
But the hornets were quicker, although he willingly jumped into the water, his face and body were still stung by the hornets.
Given how toxic the hornets’ sting was, a tiny hole would be ripped apart on the flesh, the toxin burned the wounds, clogged the blood flow and though he managed to evade the hornets by jumping into the water, he was still shivering from the pain.
Again, how strong you were was definitely not related to the pain level you felt, apart from a certain weird-ass arts….
Through the clear water, he could see a black cloud of hornets patrolling on top, he was angry and filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do but walk away from this fight.
The negative emotions had him neglecting the fact that he was still bleeding from the stings, and the massive black fish was everywhere in the river!
Thus….
The entire river boiled, as these fanged fish swarmed towards him.
“Arghhhh!”
Che Jiang charged out of the water and roared angrily, stimulating the energy in his body. His blood essence flowed, and his skin turned red and harder than cowhide as the muscles under it enlarged grotesquely.
Not only did he discharge the hornet toxin out of his body, he even relied on the strengthened skin to tank through the hornet stings and the black fish as he charged forth.
This time, he finally learned his lesson, he did not travel in the water, nor the air but instead, on the ground….
And a certain ill-hearted girl was about to die from laughing very hard, her stomach was aching because of the intense laughing. After half a day, she finally caught her breath again and she murmured, “You Che Family are really a trash! You thought that the villagers wouldn’t know that you were cheating them, after so many years? They did not even bother telling you a way to repel the insects and beasts lurking in the jungle. That’s how Che Nian ended up dying, and now it’s your turn, Che Jiang. Are the Che Family all retarded? You cultivated so many bandits in the jungle and none of them know about this?”
Knowledge was literally everywhere in the world…
Compared to a certain unlucky fool, Bai Yang’s exciting day was just about to start. He who slept until he woke up naturally was instantly taken care gently by Xiao Mao, and his day was more than relaxing….
Sigh, and this was the gap between him and Che Jiang….!
