Kapitel 39: Meeting Ren Luan
Lan Xiang and Chief Wang decided to go and check the preparation for village festival at the market which is going to be one of the selling point in village festival.
Then after deciding it they both started their journey towards the market for the checking.
While they started their journe for the market, the masked man who left them sometime ago heard a sound.
"Ting ting"
His phone gave out the incoming message receiving sound. After hearing the sound he took out his phone from his pants' pocket and saw that his boss has sent him a message.
Boss: "New orders for you. Went to the village market and get some more information about the village and it's people specifically the one who was in the photo with Chief Wang that you have sent."
Masked Man: "Understood Boss."
He replied to the message his boss has sent to him. His boss wanted to know more about the village and it's people and Lan Xiang.
Yes, Lan Xiang has perked up his interest to know more about him.
The reason was simple because other than Chief Wang, Lan Xiang is the one who has the knowledge about the star piece and it's location.
So after getting the message he went back to the location where he has last seen both of them which is near the Jiang river. He had ran very fast to the Jiang river.
But when he arrived there he saw that both Lan Xiang and Chief Wang had left the place. He became clueless after not seeing both of them there.
As usual he was hiding inside the jungle but to check on them he climbed up a tall tree branch to seek their location.
When climbed up to the tree branch he started to look in every direction and found that both them were heading towards the direction of the village market.
Seeing that they were going to same the place where he is ordered to go the masked man climbed down the tree.
Then after climbing down he knew that he couldn't hide anymore he has to come out in the public now. So he took out his mask and then he stripped all his black clothes he was wearing above normal clothes.
Under his black clothes he was waering a white shirt and blue jeans pant. After that he came out of the jungle.
Then he moved towards the village market but unlike before he was not running anymore but he just speed walked for few minutes and soon he was able to catch up with Lan Xiang and Chief Wang.
They both walking in front of him with just few meters distance between them.
Then with taking more precautionary care he slowed down his walking speed and started to take very light steps and slowly slowly followed them.
But even if after taking every possible measures he was seen by Lan Xiang because at that time he didn't knew one thing which is Lan Xiang being a martial artist.
Even after taking light steps and slow walking speed Lan Xiang sensed that someone is following them and then he just stopped in their walking path and turned around.
Then he saw a young man walking behind them and then started to observe the man who was wearing a very formal attire which is a tucked in white shirt and blue jeans.
Seeing Lan Xiang stopped Chief Wang also looked back to see the man who was being observed by Lan Xiang while the man was clicking photographs of some very beautiful surreal views present in front of him.
Yes, the man was carrying a camera with him as a part of his disguise which he has taken to get mixed with the villagers.
Then Lan Xiang walked towards him and put his right hand on his shoulder as he was standing turning his back to them while taking some photos and with feeling a hand on his shoulder he turned to the particular direction and said,
The Man: "Hello Good afternoon sir. How may I help you ?"
Lan Xiang: "Hello sir, good afternoon. Who are you ? What are you doing here in our village ?"
The Man: "My name is Ren Luan and as you can see I am a photographer and I currently taking the photos these beautiful views."
Lan Xiang: "Oh so you are a photographer Mr. Luan, good. If you don't mind can I check your camera and see some photos ?"
The reason why Lan Xiang wanted to check the camera of Ren Luan because he was suspicious of him due to the recent things he found out. These findings added with people whom he has seen outside the village welfare centre made him suspicious of Ren Luan.
Ren Luan: "Sure no problem sir. Here is my camera and check everything you want."
Then Lan Xiang checked thoroughly his camera and saw that he is indeed a photographer as his camera has so many photos of various places and not just it he also showed them his ID card.
With this they believed that he is indeed a photographer.
Lan Xiang: "I am sorry Mr. Luan it was never my intention to check your camera but it is just that due to village's safety I have checked your camera. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
Ren Luan: "No it's okay and please don't say sorry you are elder to me so please don't say sorry to me and besides that I completely understand you concerns as anyone will do the same thing when they encounter a stranger."
Chief Wang: "So Mr. Luan why are you here in our small village ?"
Ren Luan: "Elder please don't say that this beautiful place is small. It is very big and very beautiful. The places, the people everything about this place is really very good. I am here for the village annual festival as I have heard that at that time this village becomes very beautiful."
Hearing Ren Luan's high praises for their village and it's people made Chief Wang and Lan Xiang very proud.
Chief Wang: "Then you ate very early for this because our village annual festival is after three days."
Ren Luan: "I know but I wanted to capture each and every detail of this festival because of my personal interest."
Lan Xiang: "What do you mean by your last sentence Mr. Luan ?"
Ren Luan: "It is because I have my memories of grandfather with your village annual festival. When I was a little kid my grandfather had brought me here for the first time and I had a very happy time here back then but after that my grandfather passed away and I never get the chance to visit this place again but now I have the chance to visit the festival, so I want to capture every details about the festival."
He said that while making a sad face and hearing this made Chief Wang and Lan Xiang sympathetic towards him and then they let their guards down to him.
Then they asked him where is he going next so he told them that he was going to village market and hearing this they said they were also going towards the village market and they offered him to come with them.
Then the three of them walked towards the village market and after walking for three minutes they reached at the market.
The village market is very lively today because everyone was preparing for the village festival as they are decorating their shops and checking everything.
Then seeing this Chief Wang and Lan Xiang were really happy and Ren Luan started to click some photographs. Then Chief Wang and Lan Xiang walked over to shops in the market and called every shopkeeper out.
All of the shopkeepers came out after hearing Chief Wang's voice and soon they all surrounded both of them and they all started to talk with each other.
Ren Luan who was clicking some photographs of some decorated shops was not standing very far from them and he could hear everything they have said.
He was noticing everything they are saying and soon he heard something by hearing which a smile appeared on his face. He heard about the fireworks show and the outside decorators coming to the village.
Then while all of them were talking with each other, one of the villager asked Chief Wang about the man taking photos of the market. Then everyone at that place looked at Ren Luan and then Lan Xiang introduced him to everyone and told them that he is a photographer.
Hearing this Ren Luan asked everyone to stand together as he wished to take their photos together.
At first the shopkeepers refused thinking it will just hamper the work of Ren Luan but Chief Wang thought that it is a good idea and asked everyone in the village to take photo together and after hearing his request everyone agreed.
Then they all stood together and Ren Luan started to take some photos of them together. After taking the photos he showed all of them and after seeing the photos they all were really happy.
Then Ren Luan asked if there is any noddles shop as he is very hungry and wanted to eat some noddles. So hearing his request Chief Wang called someone named Hu Wen.
Then Hu Wen came in front of them and Chief Wang introduced Hu Wen and Ren Luan and said that Hu Wen make best noddles in their village and then Hu Wen invited Ren Luan to his shop and he followed him.
Then he entered Hu Wen's shop and he then showed him a place to sit and after he sat down Hu Wen took his order and went to prepare his order.
While Hu Wen went to prepare his order Ren Luan took out his phone and started to message all the things he has heard in the market to his boss.
He more emphasized on the two things that he heard of which is the fireworks show and the decoration thing.
Then he waited for the message from his boss. While he was waiting for his boss to reply him Hu Wen bring out his order and served him to eat it.
Then he thanked him for the food and started to eat and taking one bite, he praised the cooking of Hu Wen.
Hu Wen thanked him that he liked the food and started to ask somethings about him for which he told the same story to him which he has told to Chief Wang and Lan Xiang.
Then hearing his story Hu Wen told him,
Hu Wen: "You are a very good boy Luan. I hope this year's festival will be of your liking."
Hearing this Ren Luan just smiled and he then took the chance and asked Hu Wen something.
Ren Luan: "Uncle Wen if you don't mind can I ask you something ?"
Hu Wen: "Please ask me anything Luan."
Ren Luan: "Uncle your very is very good and Mr. Lan Xiang is also very good. Can you tell me something about him ?"
Hu Wen: "Oh you want to know about Xiang'er. He is a very good boy and he is the native to this village. He was born and brought up in this village. He is also a doctor who is working in our village."
Ren Luan: "Oh so Mr. Xiang is a doctor. I didn't knew about it. Then what about his family ?"
Hu Wen: "He is an orphan as both if his parents have passed away but he is not alone as he has a very loving family. He has a very sweet wife Zhen Lu and a son who is very sweet Lan Yue."
Ren Luan: "Oh so Dr. Xiang has a family very nice. Anything else Uncle Wen."
Hu Wen: "There is nothing much as Xiang'er is just like the way the he is nothing much. Yes but one thing I haven't told you yet."
Ren Luan: "What is it Uncle Wen ?"
Hu Wen: "Xiang'er is also a powerful martial artist and he is also training his son to be a martial artist."
It is very much known in the entire Jiang village that Lan Xiang is a martial artist and he was also training his Lan Yue in martial arts.
Ren Luan was surprised to hear this news because he didn't expected to encounter a martial artist in this village.
Then he thanked Hu Wen and started to eat again and while Hu Wen went to meet Chief Wang and Lan Xiang.
Then he immediately took out his phone message his boss everything he got to knew about Lan Xiang to his boss.
After getting his message his boss replied,
Boss: "Well done Luan. Now try to get as close to this Lan Xiang as possible and try to find out his martial arts level for us because he could be an obstacle for our work."
Ren Luan: "Understood Boss."
Then he put his back in his pant's pocket and finished his food and then he then thought about a plan and then a loud sound his heard from Hu Wen's shop hearing which everyone ran towards the shop.
"Argh aargh aargh."
When they all entered Hu Wen's shop they saw that Ren Luan had a cut on his right hand and blood was flowing out of his cut.
Then seeing this Lan Xiang ran towards him and checked the cut which was on his hand while Hu Wen asked him about the cut then he explained everything to everyone.
Ren Luan: "After I finished eating I tried to take the plate and bowl to put in the kitchen sink but when tried to lift up the bowl it slipped from my hand and fell down on the ground and then tried it gather every shattered pieces but while gathering the pieces I got the cut from one of the broken piece."
He told them everything and showed them the broken pieces. Seeing this Hu Wen was the first one to react as he Saud, "Don't worry Luan about this, you should have left this as it is and called me. Now see you got the cut on your hand and you are our guest and we should treat you well but now see what happened to you. Xiang'er is he okay ?"
Lan Xiang who was examining his cut told them, "Thankfully the cut was not very deep but still I have to stop the blood. Mr. Luan come with me, my clinic is near I will treat your wound."
Hearing this Ren Luan said, "But I haven't paid the bills for the food and also for the broken bowl, let me first pay the bills."
They all tried to treat me him first but he insisted to pay the bill first so they let him to pay the bills first and then he went with Lan Xiang to his clinic.
When they went inside his clinic they saw Zhen Lu was sitting on the wooden bench placed outside his chamber in his clinic.
Seeing her Lan Xiang asked,
Lan Xiang: "Lu'er what are you doing here ?"
Showing her lunch box to Lan Xiang, Zhen Lu said,
Zhen Lu: "I have come to eat lunch with you but who is he I have never seen him before in the village ?"
Then Lan Xiang told him everything her everything about Ren Luan and then he handed over the keys of his chamber to Zhen Lu and told her to open the door of his chamber.
Then she opened the doors and went inside with Lan Xiang and Ren Luan following her. Then after Lan Xiang entered his office he told Ren Luan to sit on the chair and then he started to treat his wound.
Then after a few minutes he banded aid his wound and applied some medicine liquid on his wound and then he gave him some medicines to take.
Then Ren Luan thanked Lan Xiang and asked for his fees but Lan Xiang denied take any fees but Ren Luan insisted to give his fees.
Then Lan Xiang thought something and said,
Lan Xiang: "Mr. Luan if you insist on giving me my fees then you can do one thing. You can take my photo with my beautiful wife now."
Hearing this Zhen Lu just sighed and Ren Luan smiled happily and he agreed. Then Lan Xiang told them to come out take the photo.
Then they come out and then Ren Luan checked the perfect place with good lighting and made them stand in that place and told them to make some pose.
Then Lan Xiang held Zhen Lu's hand in his hands as they both looked towards the camera with a bright smile on their faces.
Then he took their three photos and showed them and Lan Xiang asked him to give the photos to him so that he frame the photo to put it on their wall.
Then Ren Luan agreed with him and told him that he will give the photos to him and he asked for favor to him.
Ren Luan: "Mr.Xiang if you don't mind can I ask a for favor from you ?"
Lan Xiang: "Tell me anything. If I can help you then it will be my pleasure."
Ren Luan: "Can you show me some places to stay for the next few days in this village ?"
He said it while smiling innocently.
