The Adventure of the Kecapi

Chapter 95

 The two of them set foot toward the place they were headed to and alternately bathed and exchanged clothes while washing dirty clothes. After that they sat back down on the edge of the abyss.

"Hi...hi...l...!"

Hua Li held back his laughter by covering his mouth, but the sound of his laughter was still heard by Liu Ceng.

"Hua sister, why are you laughing?" asked the curious Liu Ceng.

"I heard a voice calling out," said the girl with a smile.

Liu Ceng focused his hearing for a moment.

"I didn't hear anyone calling!" yelled Liu Ceng who was astonished.

"Where did you hear it?" continue asking the curious Liu Ceng.

"There is, right near here," Hua Li said with a hold of laughter and pointed towards Liu Ceng's stomach.

Liu Ceng was surprised, then smiled as he stroked his stomach.

"Duh, you just keep it a secret!" liu Ceng exclaimed as he patted his stomach.

"Hemm, hungry stomach is nothing to be ashamed of, big brother Ceng. I feel hungry myself too. But in a place like this, where can we get food?" said at once asked Hua Li while spreading her gaze around the place.

"Adi Hua, look down that slope. There was a puff of smoke, it seemed there was a village or at least there were people living there. Let's go there, look for food first and continue the investigation." Liu Ceng asked as he pointed towards the smoke.

"Oh, yes, let's go there brother!" hua Li exclaimed and they then went down the top of the hill and Liu Ceng was right, on the hillside there is a small hamlet consisting of only a dozen houses of residents who depend their livelihood from working on land on the slope is quite fertile.

A man of about fifty years old who became a prominent citizen in the hamlet and welcomed Liu Ceng and Hua Li with friendly and familial.

After Hua Li and Liu Ceng introduced themselves as travelers who ran out of food and were about to buy food, the elders of the hamlet immediately served the simple food they had and invited the two guests to eat together.

As they chatted after eating, Liu Ceng fad asked the host.

"Uncle, what are the names of the two hills that line there?" liu Ceng asked, pointing to the two hills he had seen last night with Hua Li.

The farmer looked out the window and saw the two hills.

"Ah, are those two hills, sir? People call it the Twin Hills because they stand side by side and are the same size. But the two hills have names, one is Dragon Hill and the other is Hong Bird Hill" replied the old man.

Hearing this, the hearts of the two young people pounded. It was after morning came and they looked up at the top of the two hills, hong's dragon and bird form vanished so much that they were almost desperate and considered their sight overnight to be influenced by their expectations after seeing the map image.

But now it turns out that the two hills were actually named Dragon Hill and Hong Bird Hill. They both looked at each other meaningfully.

"Uncle, why are the two hills called Dragon Hill and Hong Bird Hill?" asked the curious Hua Li.

"The two hills are strange, ladies and gentlemen. If the night of the full moon, the hordes at the top take the form of dragons and Hong birds. According to the fairy tale, the two hills were said to be the dwelling place of the two holy beasts." replied the old man with a big smile so that his teeth were too many toothless.

The faces of Liu Ceng and Hua Li were radiant. Not playing with their hearts. Now they are convinced that the two hills are what they mean in the map image.

He was surprised because the three pieces of gold money were a great treasure to him. He chases out to return it to his two guests, but the two men no longer see their shadow.

When he told the villagers, the simple people who still thick their belief in the existence of a goddess god who likes to help humans, said, feeling certain that the young man and the young woman who ate at the house of the head or the elders of the hamlet, must be a god and a goddess. The proof, they leave gold and are good at disappearing.

"Not wrong anymore!" exclaim those elders.

"They must be the gods and goddesses of the Dragon Hill and the Hong Bird Hill, seeing such a handsome and dashing young man, as well as such a beautiful and gentle girl, as well, I already suspected that those two were no ordinary humans!" the resident told some of his citizens.

Hearing that all the residents of the small hamlet then perform prayers to honor and thank the God and Goddess of the Dragon Hill and Hong Bird Hill.

For a dozen days Hua Li and Liu Ceng were looking for treasure, having felt confident that the treasure must be in the area because they had found the Dragon Hill and the Hong Bird Hill.

There were three small hills to the south of the two hills, and presumably these three hills were drawn on the map. They both explored the three hills and about three weeks later, one morning they arrived at the central hill of the three hills.

Twice they searched this hill and that morning, from the foot of the hill they saw how the top of the hill was surrounded by a wide forest that grew around the hill. They penetrated the forest and arrived at the top of a sloping hill and full of vast grass fields.

They saw that at the end of the grass field there is a cliff top and on the cliff there are three Goa. Goa-goa on the left right side is clearly visible, is a large cave that mouth cave that opens like a giant mouth gaped. But the cave was in the middle covered with thickets and thorns. Now they stood in front of the cavern covered with shrubs and watched attentively.

"It feels impossible to store treasures in a place like this," said Hua Li who spread his gaze around.

Lou Ceng silently did not answer, just stood looking at the cave with furrowed and attentive brows.

Since the young man did not reply, Hua Li turned his head and looked at him. He saw the young man now looking skinny. His face did not radiate joy at all.

Only now did Hua Li realize that they had encountered various obstacles, obstacles and labor in vain during the search for the treasure.

Even threatened with death several times. All those desperate attempts did not find results either. He himself has no desire to find a treasure that has not been ascertained there.

But it seems Liu Ceng never despair so that his body looks thin and his face loses its light, even a bit pale because of tired and also because it is not necessarily eating it.

Suddenly Hua Li's heart felt a pain full of novelty and compassion for the young man he loved since the first meeting.

Looking at that dear face, that face that looked so pitiful, no longer felt Hua Li let out a long and heavy sigh.
