Chapter 28 In danger
Chapter 28 In danger
Alan had been in the village for four weeks.
Although Daniel was in jail unexpectedly, it did good to Alan, for all the women in the family relied on
him materially and spiritually.
Alan now believed he could hit on Amy and Carol with a proper reason.
On his way home, Alan saw Ella hugging a man. The man must be Ella’s fiancé for she was going to
marry in a few days.
“Ella, how couldn’t you introduce your husband to me?” This was the first time that Alan had met Ella’s
fiancé. Alan was so busy recently and had few chances to meet Ella. Alan wanted to peep Ella bathe
through the window, but he didn’t see anything for she closed the curtain. But Alan was still impressed
by her tasty boobs.
“Husband? Still a few days to go.” Ella said jokingly, “This is John, my boyfriend. And this is Mr. Wilson,
a well-educated teacher in our village. He lives next to me.”
Alan looked John up and down. John was a strong man, shorter but stronger than Alan. Perhaps, only
a man like John could satisfy Ella. However, it really shocked Alan and Ella as John spoke.
“I heard you always peep my girl taking shower?”
Alan felt so embarrassed and stole a glance at Ella. ‘How the hell could she tell it to her boyfriend?’ As
he thought John could impossibly let go off him, Alan smiled with guilty eyes.
However, Ella was even more embarrassed for she had never told John about it before. Ella was
feared to death if John knew she willingly showed Alan her big breasts. But how the hell could John
know it?
“You’re freaked out, aren’t you? I am just kidding!” John laughed out loud. It was interesting to make
fun of this highly-educated guy, “What a shitty shame would it be if a graduate like you peep a woman
showering.”
Alan felt ashamed again, “Bro, I didn’t mean to do so.” Alan stared at Ella and saw her embarrassed
face.
John was a tough guy. He was short, but powerful. Alan might not bear his hit, let alone Ella.
“Alan, do you want to go hunting tonight?” John was good at hunting. There were few rare wild animals
but there were plenty of boars and rabbits.
“It is illegal to hunt here. Besides, I don’t even have a gun.” Alan had no interest in hunting for it was
dangerous. If he died of hunting, how did the four women of the family make their living?
“It is just a fucking wild pig. How the hell could it harm you? I killed one unarmed last time, and
exchanged it with cash in the downtown,” John said proudly. Alan thought to himself, “It’s impossible to
earn much money in a short time by hunting boars, but it can meet urgent needs at the time. I haven’t
had meat for a while. Why not just give it a shot?”
“Alright! Nothing can scare me with you by my side,” Alan agreed. Although Alan grew up in the city, he
had a lot of experience in the countryside since he came here.
“I will come to you tonight,” John said excitedly and left, holding Ella tightly in his arms. Ella turned back
and looked into Alan’s eyes for times as if she would come to Alan.
To Alan’s surprise, John was easygoing, totally different from the way he looked, fierce and bad-
tempered.
Then Alan shared with the cousins that he was going to hunt with John.
“Alan, do you think you can hunt? You weak little boy. Don’t you worry to get hurt by a boar?” Betty
always said something mean, but she was optimistic.
“Alan, you’d better not go, I think.” Carol was quite bashful and timid. Of course, she was concerning
Alan for she found herself paying more attentions to Alan recently.
“John will go with me. He is good at hunting. The boars…are the boars, aren’t they?” Alan said
hesitantly. Hunting was banned by the government. Only in the remote place like here, there was a
chance to catch a boar.
Karen said unhappily, “No way. You didn’t even have a gun, don’t you? I am not going to expose
anyone of you to troubles again. If something bad happens to you, how can we live without you?”
“Alan needs to learn hunting sooner or later. I agree only when Alan won’t hunt on the backside of the
mountain.” Amy was worried about Alan, but she chose to trust and stand by his side.
Alan was as stubborn as Betty. Karen had no choice but to agree.
Alan prepared a flashlight with a rechargeable battery, which was more convenient, durable and
reliable.
He also took a broadsword. Village people often had two kinds of tools for cutting: sickle and
broadsword. A sickle was used for cutting grass and grain crops. It had a short handle and a long
curved blade. A broadsword was a broad-bladed sword used for cutting big trees.
Before he went out, he was dressed in a professional hunting gear, so professional like a soldier.
Then Alan set off. The family was gazing at him with worried eyes as if Alan was heading to a war.
Carol even wept. Seeing this, Alan wished he could wipe her tears and kiss on her forehead.
Alan even imagined prying their mouths open with his lip one after one. He was so nasty!
“What the hell are you guys doing? We are just heading for a fucking hunting. What the fuck do you
concern?” John yelled and pushed Alan ahead.
Alan and John were heading up to the mountain and turned into a path. Later, the longer they walked,
the more deserted it was. Actually the path led to the northwest, and the back side of the mountain was
to the west.
“John, are we heading to the back side?” Alan was confused. Alan heard from the villagers that the
back side was a forbidden area where people were not allowed to break into.
“Back side? Hell no. We never go there. There are many boars. We’ll just walked bypass. It won’t be
dangerous for we won’t go to the back side anyhow.” John was leading the way ahead, and Alan
followed behind. The road was muddy, and the thorn was hurtful.
“John, you know I just came here for a while. Could you explain to me why people can’t go to the back Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
side?” Alan asked casually. Suddenly, John turned around and looked panicked. What could get John
so panicked?
“Don’t you know the three forbidden areas in the village?” John said seriously. Alan looked confused.
John found a place to sit down and started to tell the story.
“The first forbidden area is the Vergina Reservoir. It is told that there was a hundred-years-old water
monster.” John was scared.
Alan sniggered. How could it be possible there was a water monster. It was an aquatic plant or a
vortex. It was all because of superstition. And moreover, how the hell could it be possible there was a
reservoir there?
Alan would not disclose such superstition for it was hard to persuade. Alan thought it was funny.
John continue, “Dozens of villagers have been drowned there. Among them, a strong guy who claimed
that he could hold breath for at least 3 minutes dived into the reservoir. And guess what happened at
the end?”
“What happened?” Alan asked calmly.
“That guy dived in, and only after one minute, the water bubbled violently as if he was struggling down
under the water. And then, he never came up again.”
However, Alan believed that guy was trapped in the aquatic plant under the water.
“You’d better trust it. Something weird like this happened Last year. Do you know widow Mary?”
Alan knew she was York’s mom. Daniel chopped York with a knife because York stole his fish.
“Mary’s husband went there to catch fish with electricity with his son York. What fucking fools! Mary’s
husband died of electrocution. Then villagers found two big handprints on his foot. How could he die of
electrocution? Apparently, he was drowned by the water monster. Luckily, York survived. However, it is
heard that he saw the water monster. So he turned out to be a fool because he got over frightened.”
“Sounds unbelievable.” Alan was shocked by the first story. It really scared Alan although he heard it
from Mary before. Alan had intended to fish on the reservoir. But after hearing this, he didn’t have the
courage to do it.
“What is the second forbidden area?” Alan asked as he was interested in it.
