Chapter 44 A Great Sidekick
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
After that, he hid behind the trees not too far away so that no one would pay attention to him while he could see and hear clearly what was going on.
Si Yuhan walked toward the fainted girl, pressed his thumb on the girl’s philtrum, then the girl gradually woke up. She saw a refined and elegant face with fair skin, which was so adorable.
A’Lan sat up straight right away, trying to touch his face, “How cut you are, little boy!”
Si Yuhan frowned slightly, and leaned sideways, avoiding her hand.
A’Lan was not angry. She asked gently, “Little boy, why are you here? How come I never saw you in Qiao Mountian in the past? Are you lost?”
Si Yuhan answered, “I’m with those men who transported government money today.”
Eh…That was very direct.
A’Lan asked suspiciously, “Did the chief brought you here?”
“Caught. I was caught up here actually.”
Si Yuhan was very serious, not joking at all. But because he was only seven or eight years old and looked like an angel, A’Lan didn’t suspect him at all. On the contrary, her heart was almost melted.
“Really? Then why were you with them?”
After living here for so many years, A’Lan naturally got a question about why he got caught by the chief if the chief’s target was actually those soldiers.
Si Yuhan, who was pretty good at lying, said, “I tried to sneak out to follow my father, so I hid in the boxes. But when I woke up, my father was gone.”
A’Lan chuckled, “You are a smart boy.”
“Please tell me where my father is. Where do they lock my father? I need to find him.”
A’Lan nodded, “Okay. I’ll take you there.”
Ke Ruan was thinking that boy was indeed the male lead. He could take care of everything.
He secretly followed them.
A’Lan was trying to hold Si Yuhan’s hand. Si Yuhan dodged it and said seriously, “Don’t touch me.”
A’Lan, however, began to chuckle again.
Ke Ruan let out a sigh. He felt not comfortable.
A’Lan was pretty noisy along the way. She bombarded Si Yuhan with questions like:
“Little boy, what’s your name?”
“Little boy, where do you live?”
“Little boy, don’t worry. Everything’s gonna be alright.”
…
However, as usual, Si Yuhan just ignored her.
Suddenly, she realized something and stopped talking. Looking down at Si Yuhan, she muttered, “I passed out, right? Right! There was a bad guy here. No way! I had to tell chief about this. Gosh!”
Ke Ruan was startled. Aside from worry, he was also impressed by her insensitivity.
“Sis, can you just take me to my dad first?” Si Yuhan said calmly.
Hearing his voice, A’Lan laughed and said yes, “Alright. I’ll take you there. See? It’s right there. Did you see it? But that place was guarded. You…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she fainted again. Ke Ruan walked out from behind the tree, looked at the girl on the ground and said, “Again?”
Si Yuhan nodded.
Ke Ruan also saw the place A’Lan told Si Yuhan about. It was not like a prison or something. It looked like a pretty nice house, which was guarded by two bandits. He took a small bag of powder from his chest, then squatted down and looked at Si Yuhan.
All of these had shown that Si Yuhan was here to help him. It would be a waste to not make the best use of him.
