Chapter 2: SUBSTITUTE
CHAPTER TWO
" I would like to clean up and wash. If its convenient, please send warm water and food upstairs." Feifei requested softly.
The man at the counter was staring at Feifei blankly with wide admiring eyes and obvious approval. He can't seem to snap out from it.
What a beauty!
"Sir...?" Feifei called out with urgency. "I've already signed up. Is my request too much?"
"Huh...?! Ahhh no...no!" The man waved both his hands frantically. He was embarrassed to be caught staring at the woman rudely.
"Thank you. Then I will go up now." Feifei left with a sigh.
His face is really a disaster. He wondered if he could somehow hide his face?
But for now, his body is drained. He desperately needs a rest and a... bath. He traveled from the western end of the kingdom to this eastern end, just to play substitute for his cousin.
Feifei took a deep breath.
At last, he arrived at Agantuk Town. His last stop over. Next stop, his last destination, Guhya Village. And he couldn't be more happier!
Feifei smiled.
-----------------------------------------
Feifei is a citizen of this Yingshan Kingdom. How far is this town from Taji Village, where he came from? Taji Village is one of the villages in Nurit City. Nurit City is at the West Side of the Kingdom.
The mine Cousin Shen is working at is located in Guhya Village. Guhya Village is one of the villages of Agantuk Town. And this Agantuk Town is one of the towns of Baojin City. Baojin City is at the East Side of the Kingdom.
So Feifei traveled to the other side of the Kingdom.
He came to Agantuk Town in behalf of his cousin Shen. Cousin Shen asked him to temporarily replace him on his work as Assistant Chief of Transport in Kaneko Mine located in Guhya Village.
Guhya Village is at the northern end village of this Agantuk Town.
On the Eastern part of Guhya village, is the largest mine of this town, Kaneko Mine. That's where he is headed.
Why his cousin asked him to come to this place?
His sister in law gave birth to twins and its been difficult. The twin's position, according to the midwife, was incorrect. For this, his cousin's wife greatly suffered and almost died during labor. Before he left the village, his sister in law was still in a coma.
They sent a letter to his Cousin Shen, telling him about the situation at home. His cousin asked him to temporarily replace him on his job, gave the address and told him to come as soon as he gets the response letter.
His cousin can't wait to go home.
Feifei was very hesitant at first. He is just sixteen and doesn't have a good impression of this town.
This town is near the Eastern Borders where the Barbarians lived. They say these Barbarians eat human flesh! How terrifying is that?! Staying in this town would be like stepping one foot in the grave.
But... his Aunt Meg keeps pestering him about his marriage! His aunt doesn't even know he was just dressing as a woman but was actually a man!
He was left with a difficult choice between living an uncertain death in this town and of a certain death, which is an obvious outcome when his Aunt knows he is a man pretending to be a woman.
He decisively chose to toughen his attitude, pack up and go to this town.
Its just, Feifei did not expect this town is brimming with excitement. The moment he set foot in this place, he was surprised to be greeted by a stimulating scene of marriage affairs.
I hope this excitement is just the beginning.
