Chapter 203
The horse was obviously overexcited as it jumped and raced across the road. The Silent Master’s straw hat had fallen off and he wanted to go back and pick it up. However, Ye Mu did not agree. After all, she believed that it was such a pity to cover up such a beautiful face. As for his bald head, she will look for a piece of cloth to cover it up with later.
After a while, they stopped by a village.
She had no choice but to stop because the Silent Master threatened her that if they didn’t head back to pick up the straw hat, then he would jump off the horse. He didn’t want to go out wearing such clothes without wearing a straw hat. Ye Mu was helpless. After they stopped in a small village, she secretly led him to the courtyard where the people had hung their clothes to dry.
“What are you doing?” The Silent Master looked at her with a righteous expression on his face.
“Hush!” Ye Mu told him to quiet down, and then she stole a piece of cloth with lightning speed and ran out! The cloth was probably going to be used to making a piece of clothing for a child since it was a small piece of cloth. When the Silent Master saw that Ye Mu had stolen something, he quickly urged her to put it back.
Ye Mu refused! She took the blue cloth and wrapped it around his head, “This way, no one will know that you’re bald!”
“That’s absurd!” The Silent Master pulled the cloth quickly off his head and said, “If you won’t return it, then I will!”
He walked back towards the courtyard, but he was dragged back by Ye Mu. Although Ye Mu could not use her inner strength, her physical strength was much greater than that of a monk. When the Silent Master saw that he was about to be dragged away by Ye Mu, he quickly started shouting, “Is anyone there? Someone stole…”
Before he could finish talking, Ye Mu covered his mouth with her hand. She used some force and dragged him away quickly! When the family heard the commotion outside, they came out and saw that a piece of cloth was missing. They quickly chased after the thief!
After Ye Mu snatched the cloth, she dragged the Silent Master to run along with her. The Silent Master originally wanted her to stop and return the cloth, but when he saw the aggressive married woman chasing after them, he realized that if she caught them, then their reputations would be lost. He didn’t mind losing his own reputation, but Ye Mu will also lose her reputation/
Ye Mu noticed that the Silent Master had stopped resisting. The two ran two miles before they reached the horse. .They climbed on the horse and ran away.
While they were on horseback, the Silent Master had scolded her several times. He said disapprovingly, “You should not have stolen something!”
Although it was just a small piece of cloth, it was still the property of an ordinary farmer.
Ye Mu gasped for breath as she said, “Who was the one that said that he won’t head to the town without a straw hat? How can I find a straw hat in this barren mountain? I had no choice but to steal this!”
The Silent Master shook his head firmly after he heard her explanation, “I will not use something that is stolen. We should turn around and return it.”
Ye Mu stopped the horse and turned to look at him, “We will return the cloth later. If that’s not enough, then we can leave some compensation for them later. Will that be alright?”
She pulled out the piece of cloth and tied it around the Silent Master’s head. A handsome person will look good in anything. The blue linen and the white and blue clothing he was wearing matched nicely together. They were in the woods right now. The sunlight peeked through the leaves and fell on the Silent Master. He was not wearing his Kasaya, but he still gave off a pure and holy feeling.
The Silent Master looked at her with a complicated expression on his face.
He should refuse, but the smile beneath Ye Mu’s eyes made him fall silent. He guiltily thought I must return it later.
“It looks pretty good.” After she finished tying it around his head, Ye Mu nodded her head with satisfaction at her work.
The Silent Master continued to remind her, “We must return this to them later.”
Ye Mu couldn’t help but rolled her eyes at his words. She grabbed his hand that was about to touch his head and asked jokingly, “Can you stop acting like a monk for one day?”
The Silent Master fell silent for a moment while Ye Mu continued talking.
