CHAPTER 17, PHILANTHROPIC YOUTH

The next morning Danang continued on his way to Sekarjati Village after changing his clothes with the best clothes from inside the bundle he was carrying, and arrived at the village gate when the sun had tilted somewhat to the west.

Entering the village, some touts who saw a young immigrant who was dashing and dressed luxuriously like the royal family immediately approached him and offered a diversion, both prostitution and gambling.

“Sugeng sonten. Maybe raden is looking for something in our village? Kulo can drive raden to places that are guaranteed to provide experience and extraordinary pleasure.”sopa the scalpers.

“Sugeng sonten. I'm so hungry and looking for the best diner here. Can the kids drive me?”answer Danang.

“Monggo raden, please raden follow me.”ujar one of the touts then walk beside Danang to drive to one of the taverns.

Arriving in front of the diner, Danang invited the man to come in and eat with him.

“Monggo kisanak, come and accompany me to eat. It feels less delicious if you eat only by yourself.”ajak Danang.

The two then entered the store and chose a special room that was quite luxurious while ordering food.

“Kisanak, honestly I have only been to this village for the first time, and I heard that this village has many interesting places of urination, is it really kisanak?”tanya Danang started the conversation.

“Raden bar, later after dinner I can drive raden around looking, if there is a place that is pleasing to raden. Nyuwun sewu, does raden come from the Keraton family?”said it.

“Hmm..can be said so kisanak. If kisanak knows the ins and outs, then kisanak is the native of this village?”ask Danang.

“Raden seed, I grew up in this village. Is raden traveling and just stop by or is it raden to visit Sekarjati village?”said the scalper.

“I did aim to come to this village kisanak, from Kotaraja I traveled by horse riding, unfortunately my horse was eaten by a tiger on the edge of Ketonggo Alas. Fortunately, I managed to escape, and it seems that the tiger was not interested in nailing me and preferred to spend my horse as his food.”ujar Danang while laughing diverted so that people in front of him did not suspect to see it coming just on foot.

“Maybe later I also need a kisanak to take me to the horse dealer's place. It feels like I will need it for my trip back to kotaraja.”.

“Raden uploads, later I will drive raden, I happen to know the best horse sellers here.”.

The conversation was interrupted by the waiter who came to bring their ordered food, then they continued to eat with great pleasure.

After the meal, the two of them went around looking at all the gambling and prostitution places, ranging from the lower, middle, upper classes, to the upper classes.

Danang saw that all over the places were guarded by about five guards.

The smell of wine was smelled everywhere, and most of the guests who came were already in a state of at least half drunk.

No doubt as a healthy young man, Danang's heart was pounding and his blood was rustling to see beautiful girls dressed as fun to tease him.

But at a glance he can catch the sadness in the eyes of the beautiful girls.

“Kisanak, it seems that I need a place to stay, my body is very tired after traveling on foot. Can a kisanak show an inn that does not contain girls like this? I won't be able to rest if there are them.”whispered Danang reasoned with a smile.

“Raden uploads, my monggo inter raden to the inn.”ansiannya then they go to find lodging.

Upon arrival at the Danang lodging give wages to the scalper, “Kisanak, accept this, think of it as a reward for you.”ucapnya while giving some silver pieces.

“Matur nuwun. If raden still needs, I am ready to return to deliver the raden.”ucap touts while bowing respectfully.

“Tomorrow afternoon, come back here. Take me around this village, Kisanak. Oh yes, what is the name of kisanak?”ask Danang.

“Raden uploads, my name is Warsono. Alright raden, tomorrow afternoon I will come back and wait for raden in front of this inn.”ucapnya then inching away.

Danang then went into the room that had been provided and laid his body on the couch while thinking, “Tomorrow it feels like I will try my first steps with a gambling house. As I recall there were five gambling houses in this village.”he thought, then slept after fulfilling his obligations.

The next morning, after finishing the morning meal Danang immediately went to one of the nearest gambling houses from his inn.

After paying attention to the circumstances and how to play, Danang decided to play craps gambling.

With his ability after his seven chakras opened, Danang who now has an unusually sharp sense with very easy to guess the number of dice shuffled by the bookies there, Danang, until after noon it had already made a lot of profit, two bags of gold pieces!

After getting four bags of gold, he went back to the inn to meet Warsono, the scalper who accompanied him yesterday.

“His brother Warsono kept his promise to return here in the afternoon. How are you kakang?”

Hearing himself called kakang, a call that showed familiarity by the dashing young man he thought was a relative of the Keraton, he bowed respectfully with admiration to the figure before him, “Raden Eggih, who was a member of the palace, I will try to keep my word on raden.”ucapnya while bowing respectfully.

“Already kang Warsono, do not have to happen like that to me. Well now please take me to look at the village residents, especially the poor people in this village.”ucap Danang.

“Nyuwun sewu raden, I think raden will ask to be delivered to the resort, what is it until raden deigns to visit residents who are fakir raden?”ask Warsono to be confused.

“Later kakang will know for himself. Regarding the deletion, since this morning I have had fun at the gambling house not far from here kakang.”ucap Danang.

Then Warsono, although still holding a sense of wonder, finally drove Danang around the settlement of residents, especially those who live in shortage in Sekarjati village.

He was very surprised when there found a handsome and handsome young man who was with him distributed gold money from house to house of the people to spend four bags of gold money!

Not to be left behind when visiting his house, the Warsono family got a part, so they cried and prostrated themselves thanks for the young man's gift.

“Duuuh Gusti.matur nuwun sanget for your gift.”ucap the residents are grateful.

“You better save this money and use it as necessary, I'm afraid this will cause tension if the village authorities know.”saran Danang to the residents.

“Rear Warsono, please take me back to the inn. Tomorrow kakang do not need to come there, but I will meet the kakang at your home.”ucap Danang.

“Raden budget, monggo.”ucap Warsono politely, then they both go.

Along the way back to the inn, they engaged in conversation. Danang used the opportunity to extract more details about Sekarjati village.

From the information he got from Warsono, he concluded that the people of Sekarjati village actually did not want his village to be used as a den of maksiat, he said, it's just that they don't have the ability to fight and can only resign and eventually be forced to make a living from it because of the circumstances.

The next day up to five days in a row Danang back to do activities, namely visiting gambling houses and draining them to get five to six bags of gold per day!

And at night he again distributed the proceeds to the villagers secretly and did not forget to keep two of the three parts of the gold as part of the end of his plan later.

No doubt, this news was heard by Ki Ageng Gandrik, who immediately called his rental swordsman facing.

“I get word that there is a young man who seems to be a relative of the Keraton managed to win gambling in a row to make the cash gambling houses empty.”ucap Ki Ageng Gandrik.

“If this is allowed then it will drain my wealth and this village, and finally I will no longer be able to pay your salary and pay deposits on meneer Dedrick Van Osch and deposits to officials in Keraton.”.

“Then I assign you Munding Kusuma, and you Kwee Ban Siang to look for the young man. If he returns to drain the gambling house's treasure, kill him! I don't care even if he is a relative of the Keraton.”command.

“Good Sir, I and Munding Kusuma will look for the young man who has been troubling it.”ucap Kwee Ban Siang then inched backwards leaving the village head's house to the gambling house with Munding Kusuma.

Upon arrival there, they immediately went around from one gambling house to another gambling house. Until their eyes were on one dashing young man who seemed to win a lot of gold from gambling there.

“It seems that young man we are looking for.”whisper Kwee Ban Siang on Munding Kusuma.

“We just finish him now?”he told Munding Kusuma.

“Let's go, we let him win this gamble then we follow and we finish him off on the road later. The gold he has for us two.” whispered Munding Kusuma with a smile imagining wealth in front of his eyes.

“Hahaha. This is the name once archery can be two tails.”ucap Kwee Ban Siang.

The afternoon after winning the gambling, Danang stepped out followed by Munding Kusuma and Kwee Ban Siang from a distance.

Danang who knew it remained calm and pretended as if he did not know that he was being stalked and directed his way towards the plantation area near the deserted settlement.

Upon arrival in a quiet area, suddenly two shadowy figures that turned out to be Kwee Ban Siang and Munding Kusuma darted against Danang's steps while saying, “Stop, hand over the bag you brought, and let go, then give up your life!”
