That lady waited for half a day, and then she called out again, "Innkeeper! Innkeeper!"
Huang Rong thought, "This voice sounds familiar, tender yet strong; she sounds like the Cheng Da Xiaojie [Eldest Miss Cheng] of Baoying." At that moment the lady turned around and who was it but the Cheng Da Xiaojie, Cheng Yaojia? Huang Rong was pleasantly surprised, "Why does she come this place?"
Shagu was not awakened by the commotion made by Hou Tonghai and the others. But now she had enough sleep, so she crawled up from the straw bed.
"Innkeeper," Cheng Yaojia said, "Would you please prepare some food for me? I would be much obliged."
Shagu shook her head, meaning she did not have any food. But suddenly she sniffed around and smelled cooked rice. She rushed to open the lid and saw the pot was full of plain white rice, the one Peng Lianhu and the others had prepared. Shagu was delighted; without wondering where the food came from she took two bowls and gave one to Cheng Yaojia, while she gobbled the other.
Cheng Yaojia saw there was no dish, only plain rice, she ate a few bites, then put the bowl down. Shagu ate three full bowls quickly, then she patted her belly, looked satisfied.
"Miss," Cheng Yaojia said, "May I ask you a question? Do you know how far the Ox Village is from this place?"
"Ox Village?" Shagu said, "This is Ox Village. How far it is from this place, I don't know."
Cheng Yaojia blushed. She lowered her head and played with the end of her belt. After half a day she said, "It turned out this is the Ox Village. Then I am wondering if you knew someone. I wonder if you knew … you knew … someone …"
Shagu did not wait for her to finish, she shook her head impatiently and then rushed out the door. Huang Rong wondered in her heart, "Who is she looking for at the Ox Village? Ah, that's right! She is the disciple of Sun Bu'er. Most likely she received an order from her Master and Martial Uncles to find Qiu Chuji's disciple, Yang Kang."
Huang Rong saw Cheng Yaojia was sitting up straight, her clothes were proper; she was gently stroking the pearl head ornament by her temple, her face blushing, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips, did not know what she was thinking.
Huang Rong thought it was interesting. Suddenly she heard footsteps, someone was coming in from outside. This person was tall and handsome, his steps lively; as soon as he came in he also called out for the innkeeper. Huang Rong thought, "Coincidentally the people I know in this world have all gathered together in this Cow Village. The fengshui [lit. wind and water – geomancy, but since the term 'fengshui' is already well-known, I decided to keep it as is] of Jing Gege's Ox Village must be very good; if not for the wealth then for the person." Turned out the incoming person was the Young Master of the Cloud Village, Lu Guanying. As he saw Cheng Yaojia, he was startled then he called again, "Innkeeper!"
As Cheng Yaojia saw this young man, she felt shy and hurriedly turned her body around. Lu Guanying also felt strange, "How come there is a beautiful young girl sitting alone in this place?" he thought. He walked around the kitchen and did not see anybody else. He was very hungry, while there was rice in the pot, so he turned to Cheng Yaojia and said, "Xiao Ren [lit. little/lowly person – the term he used to refer himself] is very hungry, I wish Miss would give me a bowl to eat."
Cheng Yaojia hung her head lower and smiled slightly, she said, "The rice is not mine. Xiang Gong [honorable master], please help yourself."
Lu Guanying ate two bowls full, then he cupped his fists to express his gratitude; he said, "Xiao Ren wishes to ask Miss about a certain place. I wonder how far is the Ox Village from this place? "
Cheng Yaojia and Huang Rong were both delighted. "Ha, it turns out he is also looking for the Ox Village," they both thought. Cheng Yaojia stood up to return his respects and said, "This is the Ox Village."
Lu Guanying was delighted, "That's wonderful!" he said, "Xiao Ren also wonders if Miss knew about a certain man."
Cheng Yaojia was about to say that she was not a local when suddenly she changed her mind, "I wonder who is he looking for?" she thought.
Lu Guanying said, "I am looking for a gentleman surnamed Guo, Master Guo Jing. I was wondering where he lives… Is he home right now?"
Cheng Yaojia and Huang Rong were startled. "Why does he look for him?"
Cheng Yaojia was dumbstruck; she hung her head low and blushed to her ears. Looking at her expression Huang Rong had guessed with 80% certainty, "It turns out this Miss secretly fell in love with Jing Gege because he saved her in Baoying." First of all Huang Rong was still very young, secondly she was an open-minded person, thirdly she believed in her heart that Guo Jing would not have a different mind; therefore, her heart was free from jealousy. On the contrary, she was really glad to find that others liked Guo Jing.
Huang Rong's speculation was right on target. When Cheng Yaojia was held captive by Ouyang Ke, it was true that it was the Beggar Clan's Li Sheng and his men who helped her; but they were not Ouyang Ke's match. If Guo Jing and Huang Rong did not go into action, she would have suffered disgrace. She saw Guo Jing was still young. Not only his skill was superb, but also his manner was sincere. A strand of love thread unexpectedly floated from her and stuck on Guo Jing.
She was the young lady of a very rich family; she had never left home before, and she had reached the age where she started to have interest in the opposite sex. As she saw an attractive young man she unexpectedly fell in love.
Even after Guo Jing left, he was always in this Cheng Da Xiaojie's mind. Thinking left and right she mustered up enough courage and left home in the middle of the night. She was a pugilist, but had never left home; she did not have the slightest idea about the way of the Jianghu people. She happened to hear Guo Jing was from the Ox Village of Lin'an prefecture, thereupon she asked around the way to the Ox Village.
Her appearance was elegant and her bearing was noble; along the way bad people did not dare to bully her. At the previous village she was told that the Ox Village was near; but when she suddenly heard Shagu say this was the Ox Village she had no idea what to do next. She had come thousands of 'li's to find Guo Jing, but now she was hoping Guo Jing would not be home. Her thought was, "I will go secretly to his home in the evening, take one look at him, and then go home. I can't let him know I came for him; I would die of embarrassment if he finds out."
Right at that moment Lu Guanying arrived and inquired about Guo Jing. Cheng Yaojia was afraid he had found out her heart's contents. She was at a lost for a moment then decided she would stand up and leave. But suddenly from outside the door an ugly face appeared then vanished. Cheng Yaojia was startled; she drew back two steps. That ugly face reappeared and called out, "Double-headed ghost! Come out in the sun if you have the ability. San Tou Jiao Master Hou challenges you to fight. I have one more head than you do. Under the bright sun, Master Hou does not fear you!" His meaning was clear: as soon as it was dark, Master Hou would candidly admit defeat although he had more heads. Lu and Cheng two people obviously did not understand.
