CH 032 A Bodyguard For Half The Scriptures

Nie Bufan called Tu Beng and the attendants of Si Chenyu and the others to strip the hapless fellows who had been caught by Wang Shichan to their underwear, and then threw them out of the village one by one.

In the next few days, in order to prevent Li Yi’s sneak attack, Nie Bufan started holding sleepovers at other people’s houses. His first unlucky target was Chen Muran, who seemed the most harmless, and his second target was Li Huai, who was the most easily bullied.

Chen Gongzi prided himself on his excellent demeanor, but when faced with Nie Bufan he could not help but to lose composure. At night, Nie Bufan and his chickens occupied his bed; during the day, he had to face the bizarre and murderous looks from Li Yi and Zhang Junshi. Truly, he couldn’t sleep well or eat well.

After enduring with difficulty for two days, he finally said the most blunt and rude sentence in his life: “Village head Nie, can you piss off back to your house to sleep?”

As a result, Nie Bufan could only leave sheepishly. Originally, he was not such an obedient person, but the situation left him no choice. He was dragged out by Chen Muran’s attendants……

When he passed Li Yi, the other leaned against the door and looked straight at him. He tapped a foot towards the room, signaling that he was very welcome to come back.

Nie Bufan bypassed him and entered Li Huai’s house.

Li Huai showed extreme rejection of his arrival. Nie Bufan completely ignored him and jumped into bed. Five to six chickens followed behind him. It was worth noting that these chickens have very good habits and knew how to wipe the stains from their claws on a certain someone’s clothes.

Li Huai trembled with anger as he watched his expensive robe being destroyed in an instant.

“Nie Bufan, do you have any education?”

“I’m responsible for the education.” Nie Bufan patted the chickens beside him and smiled carelessly.

Li Huai said angrily: “You get out now, you are not welcome here!”

“Don’t be like this, sleeping together is more lively.”

“What livliness is needed when sleeping!”

“That’s true. Huai Huai, it’s getting late, let’s go to sleep quietly.”

“Don’t call me Huai Huai!” Li Huai rushed over and grabbed Nie Bufan’s arm, trying to pull him out of bed.

Nie Bufan clung to the bedpost and shouted, “Don’t be like this, the bed will collapse.”

Li Huai gritted his teeth and shook off his hand, saying fiercely: “I’ll ask my brother to come and sleep with you!”

“Huai Huai!” Nie Bufan rushed forward and glomped onto Li Huai’s waist, and said affectionately, “You have the heart to push me to others? We have already been engaged with a kiss. According to all reason you are more suitable to sleep with me than your brother.”

“What? What engaged with a kiss!” Li Huai flushed and said irritably, “You forced it on me!”

“Yes, yes, you’re right, I forced the kiss. But who told me that I couldn’t restrain the emotions?” Nie Bufan patted his back and helped smooth his peacock feathers down.

“Towards men, what is there to feel so unrestrained about!” Li Huai’s face became even more flushed, but his tone fell.

“There is a poem saying:’Strolling beneath the moon is as if falling in love, the emotions come upon us unprohibited. We are also involuntary victims!” Nie Bufan leaned his head on Li Huai’s waist and looked deeply at the candlestick.

Li Huai was silent. He remembered that Nie Bufan kissed him in public in order to make a fool of him. But now he was painting it as an act of affection. He almost even became fooled by him. Did he really think he was so easy to trick? He wanted to see if Nie Bufan was truly attracted to men.

“Fine, just for tonight!” Li Huai pulled away Nie Bufan’s hand and walked to the other side of the bed to change clothes.

Nie Bufan glanced at him strangely, this reaction seemed rather abnormal?

Li Huai turned sideways to him and slowly took off his clothes, his naked upper body taking on a faintly tempting glow under the candlelight. He tucked his long hair to one side, then bent down and took off his trousers, leaving only the underpants. Finally, he picked up the robe that was used for sleep and put it on gracefully. The light passed through the thin robe and highlighted the curves of his limbs giving it a hazy beauty.

After doing this, Li Huai used the corners of his eyes to observe Nie Bufan’s reaction, but the result only left him furious! This guy actually fell asleep with his limbs flung wide open! So he had wasted his feelings and his efforts just now? No, it’s not a complete waste of effort, at least the chickens were still staring at him with their beady eyes wide open, as if looking at a unicorn.

Li Huai trembled with anger and violently lifted the quilt and lay on the bed, even kicking Nie Bufan a couple of times.

Nie Bufan turned over and said as if dream talking: “I will treat you to eggs tomorrow……”

“……” Li Huai desperately beat the pillow with a look of grief and anger.

The next day, Li Huai expectedly got up with a pair of panda eyes, looking very much haggard.

But Nie Bufan was full of energy, and after breakfast, he started picking eggs everywhere. This period was the peak egg laying period. Many chickens didn’t like to lay their eggs in the henhouse. Every place in the village could be a potential egg laying place.

However, since discovering the chicken induced hole, Nie Bufan began to take some preemptive measures, and did not let Tu Beng help pick the eggs, so as not to pick up some bizarre treasures.

After a busy morning, he filled up two baskets of eggs. After lunch, he led a group of chickens up the mountain to get some fresh air.

Li Yi and others were taken care of warmly by the chickens, and none could follow along.

Nie Bufan climbed halfway up the mountain and faced the cloud-shrouded mountaintops. Under the protection of the chicken flock, he felt bold and daring, stretching out his arms he shouted: “I-Am-The-King-Of-Chicken-Nest-Village!”

“Oooooo——” The chickens responded enthusiastically.

The declaration echoed in the mountains, awe-inspiring and majestic.

With his hands on his hips and his feet on the rocks, he looked around the mountains like a great man looking down at the world.

After he finished getting a kick out of the childish act, Nie Bufan was satisfied. As soon as he turned around to go back to the village, however, he was startled by Wang Shichan who appeared behind him at some unknown time.

“If you’re here, you should say hello or something!” Nie Bufan said dissatisfied, “acting like a ghost, is it just to scare people for fun?”

Wang Shichan looked calm and asked, “When will you give me the Buddhist scriptures?”

“Wait until I am happy one day.”

“You seem to be happy every day.”

Nie Bufan glared at him and said angrily: “Don’t you know what it means to force a smiling face?”

“……” Wang Shichan’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes revealed serious doubts.

“How about this!” Nie Bufan suggested, “You will be my bodyguard and protect me from harrassment from any living creatures. If I am satisfied, I will give you half of it first.”

Wang Shichan was silent for a long time, and finally couldn’t help but ask: “You seem to be saying the opposite, shouldn’t it be protecting other living creatures from your harassment?”

He had been in Chicken Nest Village for some time, and in this boundary, he really hadn’t seen Nie Bufan suffer a loss. Protect him from being harassed by others? It would be a fortunate thing if he didn’t harass others.

Nie Bufan hmmphed: “It seems that you don’t want the Buddhist scriptures anymore, so be it, I’ll go now!”

Wang Shichan immediately grabbed his arm and said sincerely, “Tell me, how do you want me to protect you?”

“Twelve hours of personal protection in the village.”

“Twelve hours is too long. If it’s like this then when you go to the toilet, do I have to watch on the side as well?”

“……Then, the focus is at night. You can sleep in my room.”

“No need.” Wang Shichan rebuffed with a very fast speed.

“If you don’t sleep in my room, how can you do personal protection?”

“I’ll just sleep in the main room. If it’s dangerous just shout and I will be able to hear it.”

“Then what if I can’t yell out?” He didn’t forget that Li Yi had said many times that he would gag his mouth.

“Then just make some noise.”

“……Okay.” Nie Bufan reluctantly agreed.

Wang Shichan asked: “How long do I need to protect you?”

Nie Bufan thought for a while: “Just until after getting the treasure.”

Wang Shichan nodded, and disappeared before Nie Bufan’s eyes without giving any heads up.

Nie Bufan shouted into the air: “Don’t forget, it starts tonight!”

…

Back in the village, Nie Bufan felt a lot more at ease and could finally sleep in his room tonight.

At dinner, he kept smiling and was kind and pleasant to everyone, and he didn’t even shy away from the fiery eyes of Zhang and Li.

Li Yi became alert, and he wondered if Nie Bufan was going to pull some kind of trick? He knew very very well about this person’s deep rooted bad habits.

And Zhang Junshi was also making his own ponderings, but his face remained calm.

It was night, and after Nie Bufan finished freshening up, he laid in his long-lost bed, feeling relieved.

He closed his eyes, but he was very excited, looking forward to someone attacking at night.

Sure enough, Li Yi appeared as expected.

Since that time he tasted the forbidden fruit, he had been in a constant state of desire and dissatisfaction, but unfortunately there wasn’t a second opportunity. Originally, with his martial arts, he could just force the matter. Compared with other people, he already had a considerable degree of understanding of the chickens in the Chicken Nest Village, and had many methods to get around their attacks. But because he wanted to give Nie Bufan a period to adapt, he decided to wait patiently for him to come to terms before taking action.

It was not until this day, Nie Bufan finally stayed in his room. Did it mean that he was ready to accept him?

Naturally, Li Yi would not miss a good opportunity. In order carry out his plan foolproof, he even put Zhang Junshi down first.

Gently pushing open the door of the room that wasn’t bolted, Li Yi walked slowly to the bed and whispered, “Bufan.”

Nie Bufan opened his eyes and suddenly sat up, holding the quilt to his chest and saying defensively: “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

“I just want to hug you.” Li Yi took him into his arms and said lightly, “Don’t think I don’t know that you have been hiding from me lately.”

“Have I?” Nie Bufan pushed him away, affecting a shy and ambiguous expression.

Li Yi’s heart became agitated. He hooked his waist and prepared to kiss him.

Nie Bufan shrank back, half-pushing him away and half drawing him in.

Their lips and teeth pressed together, skin against skin, passionate and raging.

“Are you agreeing?” Li Yi asked breathlessly.

“Agreeing what?” Nie Bufan kicked him in the abdomen and hmmphed, “Go away, I’m going to sleep.”

“Okay, let’s sleep together.” Li Yi curved the corners of his mouth into a smile and got up to undress.

While enjoying his strip show, Nie Bufan slowly picked up the kettle on the bedside table and poured himself a cup of water.

After Li Yi took off only his shirt, he had also almost finished drinking his water. Taking advantage of Li Yi getting on the bed, his hand holding the cup seemed to shake inadvertently, and the cup fell to the ground, making a “clang” sound. It was particularly loud in the silent night, even the surrounding chickens were taken aback.

Li Yi half-kneeled on the edge of the bed and when he was about to ask, a dark figure suddenly flashed to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Yi looked back vigilantly and immediately saw Wang Shichan’s indifferent face that seemed like it would remain unchanged for thousands of years.

“Why are you here?” Li Yi asked coldly.

“Protecting him from harassment.” Wang Shichan pointed to Nie Bufan who was smiling as he leaned on the bed.

“You are protecting him?” Li Yi said with a strange expression, “Why?”

“The Buddhist scriptures.”

Li Yi understood, Nie Bufan did the same trick again, using the Buddhist scriptures to make Wang Shichan do his bidding. No wonder he was so cooperative just now, even making a pretense of shyness!

Li Yi gritted his teeth and said, “I just want to sleep in the same bed as him.”

Wang Shichan looked at Nie Bufan.

Nie Bufan whispered in an embarrassed manner, “If it’s just sleeping why do I need to be stripped naked?”

After that, he pulled up the quilt to cover his naked upper body.

Wang Shichan immediately casted a look at Li Yi as if saying ‘you heinous beast.’

Li Yi was only wearing his shirt at the moment, while the rest of his clothes were thrown away at will, an obvious look of being in a hurry to do the do.

“Brother Li……”

“I won’t hurt Bufan so I ask brother Wang to step back.” Li Yi interrupted.

“If you don’t go, I won’t go either.” Wang Shichan looked for a chair and sat down cross-legged.

Li Yi gritted his teeth, turned his head and glared at Nie Bufan, who blinked at him innocently.

He took a deep breath and said stiffly: “Fine, just watch from over there!”

After finishing talking, he got into the quilt and wrapped Nie Bufan in his embrace using both hands and feet. Although he couldn’t produce the clouds and rain under the eyes of outsiders, but he could still secretly poke at the other a few times.

Nie Bufan suffered a couple of hard pokes so he shouted, “Brother Wang, the bed is big enough, let’s sleep together!”

As soon as his voice fell, he was poked a few more times, even his pants were almost poked in.

Wang Shichan glanced at them, and said mildly: “I’ll just meditate, you can help yourselves.”

After finishing speaking, he even took out a string of rosary beads and began to pinch the beads while closing his eyes and reciting the scriptures silently.

When Nie Bufan saw this, he said again: “Brother Wang, we laymen are very impure and have never heard of the scriptures. Why don’t you read them out to us.”

Although Wang Shichan did not answer, he really did began reciting out the scriptures. His voice was low and rhythmic, and it seemed particularly mysterious and serene in the dark……

Li Yi was so angry that he nearly vomited blood. Even the solemn chanting couldn’t calm a heart that was about to be driven mad!
