Chapter 85 Beishan Town - 6 Discussing Resistance Factions...
When the topic of the resistance factions came up, the Wan family all looked worried, especially Wan Qi and his wife, whose eldest son was in the army in Taicheng, and they couldn't help but worry about his safety.
Wan Qi then asked the two, "When do you and your wife plan to go to Taicheng?"
"Tomorrow." Lu Yi had no intention of staying in this small town any longer. He had brought Tang Bufan here purely to repay Wan Bing's favor, so he looked at Wan Bing and asked, "Mr. Wan Bing, is it convenient for you to leave tomorrow?"
"It's convenient, it's convenient." Wan Bing quickly put down his wine bowl, his face flushed, and said, "I'm all alone. I'll pack up and go with you tonight."
"Then let's not drink." The woman took the wine bowl from in front of him, and then got up to go to the kitchen: "I'll get you some dry food for the journey."
"No need, ma'am, we have food in our car." Tang Bufan pulled the woman aside, still quite interested in Lu Xiaofeng: "Tell me more about your friend."
Tang Bufan wanted to find that doctor. He originally wanted to ask Guo Wen for some information, but now that he discovered that the organization was also found among the people of Taicheng, he thought that he might be able to start from the people.
If that organization could orchestrate a poisoning incident, there must be someone in Taicheng responsible for liaison between higher and lower levels.
The woman had just caught a glimpse of the two men's RV through the kitchen window. Although it was a bit old, its massive size made it look impressive. Considering their noble status, she figured they probably wouldn't appreciate the cured meat and steamed buns she made, so she sat down again.
“Sister-in-law, no need to bother. It’s only a day’s drive from here to Taicheng. We’ll leave tomorrow morning and arrive by evening.” Wan Bing also said, “Tell Madam about Xiaofeng again.”
"Hmm." The woman responded, placing her rough hands in front of her dirty apron before slowly saying, "This friend of mine, she's also a woman with a hard life. She and her husband used to have a very good relationship. Her husband is the captain of a squadron in the 11th district of Taicheng. They have a house in the inner city. Having a house in the inner city is quite something..."
“Seriously,” Wan Qi said, taking a sip of his drink and interrupting his wife.
"Oh, oh." The woman realized she had gone off-topic, so she continued, "After Lu Xiaofeng married her husband, she got pregnant very quickly, but the child she gave birth to had brain problems, would bite people, and had bloodshot eyes. He was abnormal, so Lu Xiaofeng's husband abandoned the child outside the city. Then the child was eaten by wild dogs outside the city. When Lu Xiaofeng rushed over, the child had been eaten down to just a small arm. Lu Xiaofeng and her husband had a falling out, and that falling out lasted for more than twenty years."
"I heard that Lu Xiaofeng got pregnant several more times, but she miscarried every time. Everyone said that she had birth control pills on her." Wan Qi added that he also knew a lot: "The two have been trying to get a divorce for more than 20 years. Her husband has always refused, and the two have been stuck like this."
“Her husband loves her very much,” the woman said, sighing. “It’s easy for the squad leader to change partners. He has a house in the inner city. Xiao Feng is just too stubborn. These days, who hasn’t had one or two children with problems?”
Tang Bufan was slightly taken aback. The woman's tone suggested that she had also suffered from the illness. Tang Bufan was too embarrassed to ask further, so he curiously turned to Lu Yi and asked, "If the beastman refuses to divorce, can't we get a divorce?"
Lu nodded: "Sub-beastmen are not suited to living alone, and because there are fewer sub-beastmen than beastmen, beastmen generally do not want to divorce after marriage."
Tang Bufan frowned: "Is there no room for mediation?"
“The main focus of each federation is on the reclamation of the wasteland and the construction of new cities. There are not many people and energy left to deal with household affairs. Moreover, in order to increase the birth rate…” Lu stammered, feeling somewhat embarrassed as an orc.
Tang Bufan clicked his tongue, understanding now. It all boils down to the birth rate, no wonder some sub-beastmen felt oppressed.
"Your wife comes from the underground city, so you're certainly free there, but things are different on the surface," Wan Bing explained to Tang Bufan, also sighing, "But we orcs treat our wives very well. Finding a wife isn't easy. If Lu Xiaofeng really wants a divorce, he can actually get one, as long as he finds another orc to challenge her husband to a duel..."
Wan Qi suddenly slapped his younger brother's leg under the table. Wan Bing was startled, and seeing his brother's tense expression, he suddenly remembered that Lu Yi was expelled from the Federation because he lost a duel with his brother...
Wan Bing suddenly sobered up and, feeling hot all over, hurriedly looked at Lu Yi. Fortunately, the young orc looked calm and was not angry because of his slip of the tongue.
“I don’t like my sister-in-law. My duel with my brother was just to leave the Federation,” Lu Yiwen said gently, then looked tenderly at the man eating peanuts beside him with his golden-green eyes: “The only person I like is my teacher.”
The handsome man chewed on a peanut, gave a soft "hmm," and after swallowing, said unhurriedly, "If he dares to like his sister-in-law, I'll break his legs."
The Wan family members: "..."
Lu Yi: "..."
"Madam is so domineering! I, Wan Bing, respect you!" Seeing that neither of them was angry, Wan Bing was immediately relieved. He thought to himself that Tang Bufan was indeed a person from the underground city, and he was not afraid of even high-level beastmen. He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Tang Bufan.
Wan Qi had long noticed that although Tang Bufan was approachable, he had a unique temperament. He neither looked up to Lu Yi nor looked down on them. It was as if class did not exist in his eyes and all things were equal. This gave him a detached and aloof demeanor that was very attractive.
This is a good thing about Chinese education in the 21st century. Tang Bufan himself doesn't really care about fame and fortune. When he was at the height of his popularity in college, his teacher woke him up with a clothes hanger.
Tang Bufan smiled and accepted Wan Bing's toast, then took a bowl and accepted the steamed pig's trotters that the woman placed on his plate.
"Madam, please eat more. You're too thin," the woman said, feeling sorry for the slender Tang Bufan.
"Big sister's cooking is excellent, I'll definitely eat more." Tang Bufan praised her with a smile, making the woman blush, and then she lowered her head to eat the pig's trotters.
Tang Bufan is deliberately gaining weight; he's even thinking of learning martial arts from Lu Yi.
The five of them ate around the wooden table for another hour, talking about everything from Taicheng to the current political landscape of the world. During this time, Lu Yi mainly kept them company while Tang Bufan ate with his head down. It wasn't until the two of them felt that it was about time that they got up to say goodbye.
“We’re leaving for Taicheng tomorrow, so let’s call it a day,” Lu Yiwen said gently, glancing at Wan Bing, who reeked of alcohol. “Is eight o’clock tomorrow morning okay?”
"Okay, then shall I ride a horse or..." Wan Bing perked up a bit, looking at the two of them.
"Just ride in our car," Tang Bufan said. There's no reason to ask someone to be your guide and then have them ride a horse themselves.
"Okay, sure!" Wan Bing replied happily.
Wan Qi originally wanted to invite the two to stay at his house and have the woman tidy up the house, but Lu Yi and Tang Bufan politely declined, saying that they had beds in their car and were used to sleeping in their own car. Wan Qi thought of their grand and impressive RV, so he didn't insist, but took out two sealed jars of liquor from the kitchen to give to the two.
The two were embarrassed to accept the gift, but the Wan family insisted on giving it to them, so they reluctantly accepted it.
"Lu Yi, get a box of snacks and a box of canned fruit from the car," Tang Bufan instructed Lu Yi, emphasizing the importance of reciprocity and that the gifts should be given to Wan Qi's family.
Wan Qi naturally refused to accept it, but Tang Bufan said it was for the children, so Wan Qi accepted it with a smile and thanks.
"Then I'll have to trouble you and your wife with my eldest son's matter," Wan Qi said sincerely as he saw them out of the house.
"Don't worry," Lu Yi said to him. "While he's in Taicheng, I'll arrange for him to protect the teacher and give him a chance to show his face in front of the head of state."
Wan Qi was overjoyed to receive his guarantee; this opportunity to shine was something many people could only dream of their entire lives.
After the two got into the RV, Wan Qi walked over to his younger brother.
"Ah Bing, let me help you pack your luggage."
Two middle-aged brothers, who had been drinking, walked arm in arm through the vegetable garden in the darkness toward a cement house not far away, presumably to discuss some matters in private.
Tang Bufan drew the curtains, plopped down on the soft sofa, and sighed deeply while rubbing his full belly.
Lu Yi was arranging the two jars of wine in the kitchen, looking for a suitable place to put them. He had been chatting with the Wan brothers all night and had drunk quite a bit. Although he was generally sober, his head was still a little dizzy.
So he opened the cabinet under the sink, and a pink shopping bag that had been haphazardly stuffed inside fell out, scattering the small boxes inside onto the floor.
Lu Yi was startled, her mind immediately clearing. She quickly squatted down to pick up the small boxes, and at the same time nervously turned her head to look towards the booth. Sure enough, the man sitting there resting heard the noise and looked over.
"..." Lu blushed, bit his lip, and used his tall body and the cabinet door to cover the things on the ground.
He moved quickly, but Tang Bufan still saw a small plastic-sealed box being quickly put away. His eyes snapped open, and he instantly became alert.
"You're hiding cigarettes?!" Tang Bufan suddenly stood up from the sofa. As a teacher, he would never allow his students to develop such a bad habit.
"It's not cigarettes..." Lu Yi blushed and stuffed the pink shopping bag back into the cupboard.
Seeing his guilty and nervous appearance, Tang Bufan didn't believe him at all. She curled her red lips and sneered.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely." Tang Bufan walked slowly to him. The young orc had already stood up and was leaning helplessly against the sink, using his body to block the cupboard.
“…It really wasn’t smoke.” Lu looked away and lowered his head.
Tang Bufan looked up and approached him, giving him a death stare.
"You're still lying to me?" Tang Bufan reached out and hooked his sweater collar, intending to pull the man's head off, but Lu Yi's body was very tense, so he only managed to pull off the sweater collar.
The orc's muscular chest was suddenly exposed, his pectoral muscles taut and prominent due to tension, with a small pink scar diagonally across it.
Tang Bufan was slightly taken aback. That was the wound Lu Yi had sustained when he was slashed by the android. He had stitched it up himself at the time.
"..." The scar immediately extinguished Tang Bufan's anger. He couldn't help but gently touch the scar with his fingers. The slightly raised mark made him feel uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and kissed it.
Lu Yi leaned against the sink, feeling the man's soft lips, and her breathing quickened instantly, her heart pounding like a drum.
Tang Bufan kissed him slowly and gently, pressing his hands forward onto Lu Yi's muscular body. As Lu Yi slightly raised his head, the orc in front of him suddenly lifted his chin and a tender yet passionate kiss landed on him.
Tang Bufan was slightly taken aback, then his heart raced, and he silently closed his eyes with a mixture of shyness and unease.
Both of them felt their blood rushing to their head, and their bodies were filled with restlessness.
Due to the significant height difference, Lu Yi wrapped his arms around Tang Bufan's waist, lifting him up. He kissed him deeply and passionately, so passionately that Tang Bufan found it somewhat strange.
Tang Bufan then pulled his head back, his lips red and slightly moist, and looked at Lu Yi suspiciously: "Is this your first time?"
Lu Yi, puzzled, looked somewhat dazed in his golden-green eyes: "Yes."
"Then how come you... are so good at this?" Tang Bufan asked.
"?" Lu Yi was puzzled by his question: "Isn't that what kissing is all about?"
"Hmm...no, let's not do it like that," Tang Bufan said, thinking to himself, who would suck and lick and even use their tongue on their first kiss?
"...What does the teacher think?" Lu Yi asked, becoming more serious.
"Just...our lips touched?"
"..."
"..."
Lu Yi curled the corners of her lips and leaned down again to kiss Tang Bufan: "Okay, let's do as the teacher says."
The two kissed again, their hearts still pounding, but this close kiss made them both much more comfortable than Lu Yi's. They looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason.
"Teacher is so old-fashioned," Lu Yi commented, then touched Tang Bufan's buttocks and lifted him up again, beginning his aggressive kissing once more.
"Don't touch... um..." Tang Bufan was so breathless from Lu Yi's kiss that he reached behind him to pull away Lu Yi's hand that was grabbing his butt.
Although Lu Yi let go, he used his foot to pry Tang Bufan's body between his legs... My god, Tang Bufan really thought he was so good at it.
Are Westerners naturally good at this?
As the atmosphere inside the carriage grew increasingly romantic, seven or eight minutes later, Tang Bufan slapped the young orc across the face.
"Don't push your luck." Tang Bufan got off his lap, his face flushed as he adjusted his breathing.
"..." Lu Yi covered his cheek, which didn't hurt, looking aggrieved. His beast eyes, one gold and one green, looked at him pitifully.
"Looking at me like that won't help." Tang Bufan was heartless and wouldn't let Lu Yi get to base tonight. Putting aside Lu Yi's not fully healthy yet, they also needed to set off for Taicheng early tomorrow.
After he finished speaking, he instructed Lu Yi to move aside, as he was about to confiscate the contraband.
"...It really isn't cigarettes." Lu Yi muttered under his breath, but still obediently stepped aside under Tang Bufan's gaze.
Tang Bufan squatted down, opened the cabinet door, and took out the pink shopping bag. He stood up, glanced at the uneasy orc next to him, and opened the shopping bag.
The neatly sealed condoms were then exposed under the light.
Tang Bufan was stunned.
