Chapter 197-2: Lecher on the train
The stink and noise woke Mo Qianni up. She drowsily opened her eyes, looked at the people who came up and those who smoked, and frowned.
After leaving this place for so long and returning to see them unchanged, she felt rather unaccustomed to this.
It was at this moment that the boorish men took notice of them, and the lecherous ones fixed their gazes on Mo Qianni.
Women who lived in the mountains were usually unladylike and dark-skinned due to laboring out in the sun for years, how could there be a fashionable and beautiful woman with tender-looking skin like Mo Qianni here? Furthermore, because she wasnāt feeling uncomfortable at that moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked fragile like Lin Daiyu when she caught a cold. This turned the men on very much.
[TL: Lin Daiyu is a fictional character from the novel, The Dream of Red Chamber]
There was finally a tanned man who couldnāt hold it in anymore. He got off his seat, and went over to sit beside Yang Chen. While looking at Mo Qianniās slightly nervous face, he smiled towards Yang Chen, revealing his yellow and black teeth, āFriend, where are you guys from?ā
Yang Chen was in the middle of looking at the scenery out of the window. The changes in the cabin did not affect him at all.
Hearing the tanned manās thick Sichuan accent, Yang Chen smiled back, āWeāre from Zhonghai.ā
āZhonghai?ā The tanned man gave them a queer look. He sized Yang Chen up, āNo wonder, looking at your clothes and your faces, you guys are totally different from us village people. The buildings in Zhonghai keeps getting shown on the TV, the floors go up so high. Geez, arenāt you guys afraid that the building will fall when you live that high up?ā
Hearing such a brainless question, Yang Chen didnāt know how to reply, āI donāt know, and never thought about it before.ā
Another village man spoke up with ridicule, āBlack Loach, why are you beating around the bush? If you have something to say then go straight to the point!ā
Black Loach glared back at them, then continued speaking to Yang Chen, āFriend, youāre going into the mountains? What for?ā
āWeāre going to see a very important person.ā Yang Chen vaguely said.
Watching Yang Chen actually chat with that fellow named Black Loach, she helplessly turned to gaze out of the window as if she was oblivious.
Black Loach laughed, āFriend, your wife is so pretty. Our mountains hasnāt produced a girl as pretty as her in hundreds of years. The women here all have hands that are more coarse than us men, and the hairs on their legs could be mistaken for hair on their heads!ā
Yang Chen smiled without implying any agreement or disagreement. He noticed that Mo Qianniās shoulders trembled for a bit, and realized that the mountain girls this man had insulted included her and her mother. This definitely pissed her off.
Black Loach suddenly moved to Yang Chenās ear, and whispered, āFriend, us brothers all want to try a delicacy. Have your wife help us out and give us the pleasure of a lifetime in this cabin, alright?ā
Although he had already intentionally lowered his voice, he was still boorish as hell, and Mo Qianni seemed to also have heard it.
Mo Qianni who had been disgusted by these people all this time finally couldnāt help smacking the table in anger. With a flushed face she chastised, āHoodlum! Get lost!!!ā
Mo Qianni had an outburst, but she obviously hadnāt realized that the men had already talked over this!
The other six boorish men who were at their seats all got up and crowded around them with malevolent smiles.
Black Loach also stood up, and spoke loudly with an unhappy tone, āMarried lass, who are you calling hoodlums? Have we said anything or done anything to you!? You think we as mountain people are easy to bully?ā
The other passengers in the cabin had all noticed that something was going on here. Some of them just needed a glance to figure out what was happening, and looked at Mo Qianni with sympathy, while others seemed entertained and interested to watch what happened next. It seemed like this wasnāt the first time they did this.
āYouā¦ you peopleā¦ā¦ā It was at this moment that Qianni realized she had fallen into a trap. Looking at the bunch of men crowding over where she sat, she couldnāt say what Black Loach had just said earlier. Besides, it was useless even if she did, because these people were out to get her, and wanted to take advantage of her!
Yang Chen stood up, held Mo Qianniās hand, and kneaded it.
Mo Qianni was reminded that she had Yang Chen with her, and was relieved. She knew Yang Chen had a terrifying side to him, and that these people wouldnāt hold a candle against him. However, it was no easy task for her to let go of the anger inside.
āFriend, your wife is so rude, she has disrespected me, Black Loach in front of so many people. If I canāt get a satisfactory answer, thisāll be a stain on my honor.ā Black Loach spoke with an upright tone.
The other men agreed with him, and they flagrantly stared at Mo Qianniās body.
Yang Chen had Mo Qianni sit, and he considered whether to beat these people up, or to throw them out of the train and let them walk home through the mountains themselves. However, the situation changed again.
A long bamboo shoulder pole had suddenly smashed onto one of the men surrounding them at an oblique angle!
