Chapter 287 - Avenge Brother Ling!!
For a while the clamouring forest immediately quietened down, neither wolves nor humans could react to what just happened. Their leader/ team leader fell from the cliff? Then what will happen to them? The wolves silently starter retreating, their intelligent eyes whirled as they looked around, the entire path was dug deep with pit traps. And they were confronted with a bunch of humans who were proving themselves as hard nuts to crack. With their leader gone they needed to change the strategy ah!
Lu Lin and the others didn't have the time to care about the retreating wolves who stopped attacking them, now their entire focus was on the fallen Lin Jing, the cliff was steep and it was hard to climb up as well as to go down.? Lu Lin and Chen Cai wanted to go down but the others stopped them. Losing Lin Jing was enough if these two met with an accident as well then how will they answer Lu Lin and Chen Cai's family?
" I have to go down and save him" when Zhu Yang, one of their teammate stopped Lu Lin, the latter couldn't help but insist. He desperately motioned his hands at the bottom of the cliff with teary eyes as he argued with his team members? " Brother Jing took responsibility for our safety, he swore to bring us back safe and sound. The same thing applies to him as well! Do you want me to just leave the mountains without even trying to look for brother Jing? Isn't it selfishness on our part, only caring about our lives while disregarding the life of the man who protected us?"
"Brother Lu, I know what you are feeling. Believe me, I'm feeling the same! I don't want to leave either but you need to think about it rationally" said Zhu Yang who already has tears flowing down his cheeks " Brother Lin fell down from such a high cliff, and that too when he was being attacked by the Alpha wolf, do you really think he...he will be alright after this?"
What Zhu Yang wanted to say was whether or not Lin Jing will be alive after suffering from such a great fall, but he couldn't bring himself to say that. Though Zhu and Lin family barely talked with each other, the two families had a decent relationship among them. Zhu Yang greatly admired Lin Jing because the latter was a great hunter.
He too was very upset with what happened but he needed to keep hold of himself in this case, he couldn't lose himself to his emotions.
Lin Jing fell from such a steep cliff, it was almost impossible for him to make out alive of that valley down the cliff.
"I don't know about anything, I just know that I have no face to look at sister in law, Su's face," said Chen Cai bitterly " it has only been? more than three months after sister in law Su married in the Lin family, how am I suppose to tell her that Brother Jing - "
Chen Cai didn't speak any further but no one needed him to say anything anymore. Su Wan was still the newly wedded wife of the Lin brothers, it hasn't been even a year since the Lin brothers married Su Wan and she already lost a husband. Though Su Wan couldn't be counted as a proper widow, she still have to serve her role as Lin Jing's widow by staying clear from physical relationships with her other husbands for the next three years and by strictly following a vegetarian diet.
Following a vegetarian diet wasn't something difficult, what was difficult was to stay away from her other husbands. All of them were married and knew how important it was to have an intimate relationship between husband and wife.? If Su Wan stayed away from her husbands, for the next three years - sooner or later their relationship would degrade. No matter how good a man's character was he couldn't stay away from women after having a taste of a woman's body.
Lin brothers were young and got blooded men too, how will they resist the temptation outside for the next three years while their shared wife served as a widow of their dead eldest brother? Sooner or later they might bring a wife of their own, especially now when they have the means to do so.
In short Su Wan's life would no longer be a happy one.
" it's all that old man's fault" snapped Lu Lin not bothering to even filter his mouth as vulgarities poured out his lips " Brother Lin was kind enough to protect him, and yet that old bastard pushed Brother Lin in front of a starving wolf! Is his smelly body more precious than brother Lin's? That old man is such a drag of this world yet he still protects his life like a precious gem! No, I will not let this matter rest, that bastard Du have to pay for what he did"
" you think you can make him pay?" asked Zhu Yang bitterly " Uncle Du's family might be poor but his eldest brother is still considered to be the elder of the Dong Tong village. I'm certain that Elder Du will surely protect his little brother, no matter how unhappy and upset he might be with Uncle Du, he wouldn't let his brother get hurt. After all, they are blood-related brothers"
"You mean to say that we just leave this matter at rest?" snarled Lu Lin "no! We can't do this if we let that bastard Du escape, then we will be letting Brother Lin down. We will definitely avenge brother Jing, if Elder Du wants to protect that good for nothing bastard then he might do so but we will make things difficult for the Du family in the future!"
"? We need to go," said Chen Cai as he stared at the falling snow " or else the path will be sealed by the snow, let's go we need to pass the news to the Lin family and bring some more people in the mountain to look for brother Lin's body, alright?"
These words left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth but they still nodded, this was their responsibility as the survivors of this incident.
