The Rebirth of a Star General

Chapter 27

He's already dead.

He Yunsheng stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Fan Cheng's wound was still bleeding. The knife had pierced through his stomach. He Yunsheng felt his throat dry. After a while, he finally opened his mouth. His voice was still trembling, but it carried a determination to face death.

He said, "I'll go to Yamen to turn myself in. I killed him."

He stood up and walked forward in a daze. However, he had only taken two steps when someone pulled him back and he almost tripped.

He Yan asked, "What case are you going to turn yourself over to?"

"He's dead. I'll pay with my life." He Yunsheng choked, "That's just right and proper."

"There's no point in paying with your life for someone like this." He Yan glanced at Fan Cheng on the ground, "Initially I thought that even if this day passed, Fan Cheng would not let this matter end. Sooner or later, the He family will get into trouble. But now, there is one less problem. Now that he was dead, at least the He family would have more peace in the future. "

"Do you remember what he said at the time?"

He Yunsheng recalled that at that moment, Fan Cheng wanted to kill him. He said, "When you die, I will enslave your sister. Every day, he will be my entertainment. When I get tired of playing with him, I'll sell him to a brothel." He said arrogant and arrogant words as if it was only true and proper.

"You should know that Fan Cheng did not have to pay with his life for killing us both on this ship today. Why do you have to pay with your life just because you accidentally killed him? Our lives are like grass, and their lives are precious. Wh why? "

He Yunsheng was young and warm-blooded. There was no point in paying with his life for someone like Fan Cheng.

"I don't want to either." He Yunsheng heard this and sadness filled his heart. He simply said, "But do we have another choice now?"

He Yunsheng's thoughts were simple. He had killed Fan Cheng, and the Fan Family came knocking on his door. He will pay with his own life, and this matter will be resolved. He Yan, on the contrary, knew that this was impossible. In his previous life, he came from a wealthy and influential family. Naturally, he knew that for a family like Fan Cheng, even if He Yunsheng gave up and paid with his life, the Fan Family would not let this matter end. He Sui and him, as well as Qing Mei and Shuang Qing, would not let go of them.

"Come here." He Yan patted her on the shoulder.

He Yunsheng looked at her in confusion.

"You said you were swimming here. Are you good at swimming? Can you hold your breath? "He Yan asked.

He Yunsheng nodded. "certain."

"Change my clothes and wait for my message. Jump off the boat, swim downstream, change clean clothes, and sneak home. You gotta hurry, okay?"

He Yunsheng nodded in confusion, but then he shook his head and looked at He Yan. "What about you?"

He Yan took the package from the ground. Inside the package was a new outfit he had bought for He Yunsheng from the tailor shop. He said, "I'm going to change into new clothes and lure them away."

"They" refers to Fan Cheng's bodyguard.

"How will you persuade them to leave? You are a woman. If they catch you, they'll kill you. They're gonna torture you. You don't even have the strength to tie a chicken. If you fall into their hands, you will suffer a fate worse than death … "

He was still blabbering when He Yan pressed his shoulder.

"No, I can kick them out" he said.

Under the dim light, the girl's gaze was clear and firm. At this moment, he even smiled. That smile is so relaxing. It inexplicably comforted the bewildered heart of He Yunsheng, but it also made him want to cry.

"I can't let you go" He Yunsheng muttered.

"Listen, Yunsheng. You put on my clothes and jumped off the boat. I'll lure them away. Don't see each other for the next two days. I have to hide, so I can't go back to the He family. In five days, head to a bar called Willow Spring House in the west of town. There was a row of willow trees in front of the shop. Find the third willow tree from the left and dig three inches down. I'll leave you a letter there. We'll see you again by then, okay? "

He Yunsheng shook his head. "I can't let you go …"

"You're not a child anymore. You're males. In the future, you will bear the heavy burden of the He family. You should calm down and do as I say. I'll be fine. You know, I'm fine all the time" he said.

He Yunsheng was silent.

He was fine every time. Whether it was Wang Jiugui, gambling in a casino, or horse racing in the schoolyard, he could always surprise people. But this time it's different. This time, he carried life on his back.

"You explained to father for me," He Yan said. “In a moment, Fan Cheng's bodyguard is coming. We don't have much time. Hurry up and change your clothes, "he said." Turn your back. I'll take off my coat for you first. "

The boat quietly floated in the river. He Yunsheng and He Yan faced each other again. Soon, the two of them had changed clothes. He Yan was wearing a new man's clothes. Her hair was tied up into a man's bun. He looked very handsome and had truly become a handsome young man. He Yunsheng was wearing He Yan's long dress. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He looks so awkward.

He Yan laughed out loud.

"How could you still want to laugh at a time like this?" He Yunsheng had many things on his mind. He was not in the mood to fight with He Yan.

"This is not the time for me to stop laughing," He Yan took the cloth from the ground and covered his face completely. Only his eyes were open. However, there was a smile in his eyes. "You have to get used to this."

Get used to this? Whatisthis? Kill people and live as fugitives? He Yunsheng was simply feeling tired. Along with that, there was a deep sense of worry and fear.

"When I count to three, jump down. Youunderstand?" Said He Yan. "Don't worry about me. We'll meet again."

He Yunsheng was about to walk to the bow of the boat.

After taking two steps, he turned around and looked into He Yan's eyes. "You're gonna be okay, right?"

He Yan rubbed his head. The young man's hair was still dripping drops of water from the water. It was cold and hairy.

He smiled and replied gently, "Of course."
