Urbaner Blumentraum - Kapitel 150
Ba Laosan said, "Laowu, stop wasting your breath on her and tell her to hurry up and hand over the money. We still have a long way to go!"
Old Man Ba said, "But...she saved us once..."
Ba Lao Er said, "Brother, this is urgent, we can't delay! Let's rob her first! We can always let her rob us again when we have more money!"
Ba Lao Si said, "Second Brother is right! Hey! Girl, take out the money, stop arguing!"
Zhu Huihui rolled her eyes in anger. Damn it! They even stole her savior! These five big, stupid idiots are shameless, they're just as bad as her! She roared, "I have no money, but I have...three lives to give you!"
Ba Laowu, pretending to be a good guy, advised, "Young lady, I think you'd better pay up to avoid further trouble. Otherwise, if my brothers get angry, they'll smash your head open with one blow, and by then it'll be too late for you to pay up. I think your head looks quite nice now; it'll be smashed into a watermelon, and even the legendary healer Madam Wan couldn't stitch it up..."
Zhu Huihui was amused by their antics and threw the bag at them, saying, "Find it yourselves. There's a coin in here. From now on, I'll call you grandpa!"
Boss Ba turned the bag inside out. Besides a pile of worthless junk, it was full of holes. He tossed the bag aside dejectedly: "XXX! Even poorer than us!"
Ba Laowu refused to give up, pointing at Liu Yue: "Let us see his pockets too!"
Zhu Huihui quickly hid Liu Yue behind her back: "He...he has some mental issues, you can't bully him!"
Upon hearing that this man "has something wrong with his head," the five big, simple-minded men immediately felt a sense of shared misfortune. After whispering among themselves, the fifth man said, "Since that's the case, we won't bully you anymore. Just make him hand over the money, and we'll consider it a loan!"
Zhu Huihui smiled wryly: "Five heroes, don't be fooled by his clean clothes, his pockets are actually emptier than mine!" He paused, then added: "Five heroes, do you lack the travel expenses to Huanglong Island? I have an idea..."
The five idiots asked in unison, "What plan?"
Zhu Huihui said, "Well, I need to know what you're going to Huanglong Island for first, and then I can... use that plan against you!" She rarely used idioms correctly, but fortunately, the Five Heroes of Qiyun were about the same level as her, so no one could laugh at anyone else.
Qi Yun and the Five Heroes said, "On the fifteenth of August, our Chinese martial arts world and those Japanese pirates will set up a battle formation on Huanglong Island. Everyone is rushing to Huanglong Island, and our brother's martial arts skills are also going to help!"
Upon hearing the words "Japanese pirates," Zhu Huihui was startled. She turned around to look at Liu Yue and found him still standing quietly behind her, not even a hair on his head. So she relaxed a little and asked, "What do you mean by setting up a battle formation with the Japanese pirates?"
Qi Yun and the Five Fools spoke incoherently and without any logic. Zhu Huihui talked to them for a long time before finally getting a clear understanding of the situation.
After being released from prison, Generals Yu and Qi immediately mobilized their troops for battle. For years, their reputation had been formidable overseas, striking fear into the hearts of the Japanese pirates. Upon learning of their return, their morale plummeted. The two generals personally donned their armor and, drawing upon their years of experience fighting the pirates, commanded their troops in separate, coordinated attacks, achieving near-victory in every battle. The generals were unstoppable, and within days, they had recaptured lost cities and driven the pirates back to the sea. The two generals had already deployed a large force at sea; with attacks from both inside and outside, the supposedly 100,000-strong pirate army was almost completely annihilated!
Every inch of land is bought with blood, and the battles in the martial world are no less fierce! The Japanese Amaterasu Demon King dispatched her country's elite ninja masters to launch wave after wave of assassination attacks on important officials in our court, but they were all blocked by the four great martial arts families.
The Japanese martial arts community was unconvinced and thus devised a plan, challenging them to a battle on August 15th at Huanglong Island in eastern Zhejiang. If they lost, Bai Neng would willingly submit and never set foot in China again…
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huihui lost all interest in arguing with the big, clumsy martial arts guy. She casually told them to "borrow" some silver from a wealthy family in town, thus swaying them away. Watching Wu Gong's gleeful figure disappear into the distance, she felt utterly confused.
She had been wandering around with Zhu Liuyue and Huahua lately, afraid that Brother Liuyue would be recognized, so they mostly traveled to remote and impoverished areas, and had no way of learning about the war between the Chinese and the Japanese pirates. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, the war that had gripped the hearts of so many people ended in such a way.
She had thought that those worldly affairs were no longer relevant to her—a clever girl, a super fat pig, and a foolish boy. Her greatest wish in life was simply to "seize an opportunity someday, when the great hero isn't looking, sneak up to Chen Muwan's door, and bite her a few times, no matter what." But at this moment, hearing news related to the Japanese pirates, she still felt excited, and her blood boiled.
Standing by the roadside, she pondered for a long time before finally making up her mind: go to Huanglong Island!
Because my mother "might" go, my husband and wife "most likely" go, and that biased and meddlesome annoying hero "definitely" go!
Everyone she knows in this world could potentially appear on Huanglong Island, so she absolutely has to go!
No matter what happened in the past, in this time of fighting blood and risking lives, she wants to stand with everyone!
"Brother Liu Yue, we're heading to Huanglong Island now. You...you...sigh, please don't let your stupidity return at this crucial moment!" If you become Kazama Yoru, then...then I'd rather you die...
Huanglong Island is located in the sea not far from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
The island is small and covered with yellow reefs. After landing, you will soon enter a gorge with steep, knife-like cliffs on both sides, almost barren of vegetation.
On the fifteenth of August, when Zhu Huihui, Zhu Liuyue, and Zhu Huahua, the three "Zhus," arrived on the island, it was nearly noon. If the Chinese and Japanese pirates had started their battle early in the morning, they would have been fighting on the island for half a day by now!
Zhu Huihui didn't mean to be late. She arrived at the beach very early, but she could only stare blankly at the sea—she had no money in her pocket and no boat was willing to take them out to sea.
Damn! Now I know why those five idiots robbed for money! If she'd known she couldn't go to sea without money, she would have gone robbed with them!
However, fate occasionally showed her a kind hand. As she was cursing at the sea, a small boat flew by. The people on board clasped their hands in greeting and asked her if she was going to Huanglong Island.
After she answered "yes", the boatman immediately bowed and invited them onto the boat, rowing them to safety.
At first, Zhu Huihui thought it was because of her good character, but when she got on the boat, she learned that the boatman was actually the deputy head of a hall under Tianshui Island. He had met "Haoyue Liuxia" Liu Yue Gongzi before, so when he saw them standing on the beach looking worried, he immediately came to pick them up.
Zhu Huihui felt very bored after hearing this—after all that fuss, it turned out that the other party was only doing it because of Brother Liu Yue's reputation, and it had nothing to do with his own character or even half a copper coin.
She felt very hurt, so she pretended not to care and told the boatman that she knew Fang Jianwu, as well as Fang Andi, Xi Yeyan and Yan Shenhan, the young masters of the four great families, who were all her buddies!
The boatman was indeed greatly surprised. Although he didn't quite believe this little girl who was so dirty she looked like a ghost, he didn't dare to look down on her—after all, standing next to her was indeed Young Master Liu Yue, whose reputation was no less than that of the young masters of the four great families!
Seeing the boatman's gaze, Zhu Huihui felt extremely smug. These days, if you don't brag, people won't know how amazing you are!
As the boatman rowed, he spoke, saying that the Chinese martial arts world was fully prepared for the battle of Huanglong Island. The maritime defense line and supply line were arranged in an orderly manner, and there would be no repeat of the scene more than ten years ago when the heroes of Giant Whale Island were ambushed, their reinforcements were blocked, and they were almost assassinated by Japanese pirates!
Zhu Huihui listened with "Oh, oh, ah," completely clueless about matters of troop deployment and strategic planning!
After listening to the boatman's ramblings all the way, we finally arrived at our destination. There, in the blue waves, lay a solitary, scorched-yellow island. The island's two sides were steep cliffs, and the sky seemed to be cut into a narrow line, making it look extremely precipitous.
Between the two walls, a black, narrow mountain road winds its way into the depths of the canyon.
After Zhu Huihui disembarked, she thanked the boatman and immediately headed along the mountain path—the advantage of having only one path was that she never had to worry about getting lost.
Zhu Liuyue and Zhu Huahua followed behind, each carrying a bundle containing drinking water and food—of course, Zhu Huihui hadn't bothered to prepare these things; the boatman had provided them. Because there was no fresh water on the island, everyone had to bring their own.
After walking along the mountain road for about half an hour, the terrain suddenly opened up ahead. In the distance, Zhu Huihui could see a group of people on the mountainside platforms on both sides.
What first caught her eye were the Japanese people to the west. Mainly because their hair and clothing were so strange, it made the naive Zhu Huihui laugh.
Then, her gaze fell on the crowd on the east side, and she immediately spotted the handsome young man sitting cross-legged on the rock. His handsome face, his warm eyes, his snow-white clothes, his slender long sword... who else could it be but Feng Xuese?
Zhu Huihui's heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked around him and saw Xi Yeyan in fiery red, Fang Jianwu in flowing blue, and Yan Shenhan in ink-black, but she didn't see Chen Muwan. She felt both happy and disappointed.
