Chapter 38: Uncle, Don’t Throw Me!

Translator: Lonelytree 

“Uncle, uncle,” Lin Yuelan was in Jiang Zhennan’s arms. Her eyes were filled with confusion. She waved one hand in front of Jiang Zhennan and called out, “Masked uncle, Uncle General, shouldn’t you put me down?”

Jiang Zhennan was called back to his senses, but when he came back to his senses, he did something surprising.

“Ouch!” Lin Yuelan, who was thrown to the ground, cursed angrily.

That’s right. She was thrown to the ground!

When Jiang Zhennan realized he was carrying a female in his arms, he immediately threw Lin Yuelan to the ground in panic.

When Lin Yuelan got up from the ground, she pointed at Jiang Zhennan and cursed angrily, “Masked uncle, what’s wrong with you?!” She asked him to put her down, not throw her down.

She was so unprepared that she rolled to the ground.

Jiang Zhennan looked at her angry little face, and the expression behind the mask looked even more helpless and nervous. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain.

He didn’t mean to throw her down. He had never had such close contact with a female before. He was afraid that once he hugged her, he would never let her go again. However, he was a jinx, and anyone who was close to him would be killed by him. That was why… he was so panicked that he accidentally threw Lin Yuelan away.

However, Jiang Zhennan didn’t know how to explain that to this child.

Even Jiang Zhennan didn’t expect he’d become so attached to the warmth of this girl. If he continued to be around her, he might get addicted to her!

But he couldn’t be so selfish and put her in harm’s way!

Lin Yuelan did not know what was going on in Jiang Zhennan’s mind at all.

She only knew that she was very angry now.

Everything was fine if she had jumped down from the tree. Why did he have to catch him? And after he did, he could have lowered her to the ground gently. That would have been fine. But, after the man caught her, he dumped her on the ground. If not for her agility, she would have fallen down the slope.

Lin Yuelan said angrily to Jiang Zhennan, “Uncle, you’re a general in silver armor. You’re tall and fierce. Why would you go around bullying a girl who is not even as tall as your waist?”

Jiang Zhennan was ashamed. He felt sorry too.

He really wanted to slap himself a few times. How could he rudely throw her to the ground? Anyone in her shoes would be furious.

Jiang Zhennan opened his mouth and lowered his head slightly like a child who had done something wrong. He looked at her and said in a low and sincere voice, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose!”

Lin Yuelan was charmed by his voice again.

When she heard Jiang Zhennan’s apology, her voice immediately quieted down.

She raised her small head and placed her hands on her hips. She said in a tender and clear voice, “Fine, then explain to me why you threw me to the ground all of a sudden. If it wasn’t for my agile limbs, I might have rolled down the mountain by now. Do you know how serious the consequences are?”

When Jiang Zhennan dropped her, he panicked, and he didn’t consider the consequences. Now that Lin Yuelan had brought them up, he felt a lingering fear!

It was just like what she said. If she didn’t save the fall, she might have rolled down the slope. The slope was covered in sharp stones. If she didn’t die, she’d be crippled.

The image of Lin Yuelan covered in blood and glaring at him appeared in his mind. Suddenly, his heart winced with pain. He couldn’t describe this feeling, but he was certain that he didn’t want any more harm to come to this girl.

However, faced with the girl’s small face and beautiful eyes, he didn’t know what to say. In the end, he uttered, “I’m sorry. I’ll not throw you again next time!”

Lin Yuelan exploded again when she heard that. “Do you think there’s a next time?!”

Jiang Zhennan shut his mouth and didn’t speak anymore. The more he explained, the worse it got!

At the end of the day, Lin Yuelan wasn’t a child who had an IQ of an eight years old. Since Jiang Zhennan had already apologized, she wouldn’t keep hounding her. She was just a bit angry.

She picked up the bag from the ground and threw it at Jiang Zhennan. She said angrily, “Take it! If you throw this away again, you won’t have anything to eat. And I’ll take your gold and leave.”

Jiang Zhennan took the bag of mushrooms. His thick lips showed through the underside of the mask, and he smiled. “Okay.”

Just as Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were about to go back, Lin Yuelan’s relaxed expression suddenly changed. Her bright eyes immediately became sharp and alert. Her expression was also serious and fierce.

Jiang Zhennan was slightly puzzled by the change in her aura. But then, he soon understood why!

He became alert and sharp. His eyes under the mask were filled with bloodthirst as he looked around.

However, the surrounding environment seemed to be very normal. The surroundings were lush and calm. Occasionally, a slight breeze would blow by, causing the green leaves on the branches to sway gently. The ferns rustled as if something was coming!

A mighty roar came from the forest in the distance, causing the entire mountain range to shake.

Jiang Zhennan said in surprise, “This is…”

Lin Yuelan said, “This is the roar of the tiger, the king of Beasts.”

In reality, the thing that surprised Jiang Zhennan was the girl’s alertness and sensitivity.

He could feel that there was no internal Qi from the girl. However, she managed to sense the tiger’s approach faster than he could. Why was that?

Was it hunting instinct from being in the forest for a long time?

But based on the child’s vocabulary, she didn’t seem like someone who was raised in the wilds.

Therefore, Jiang Zhennan became more and more curious about Lin Yuelan’s background.

He noted the excitement on the child’s face. He thought the girl planned to fight the big tiger but in the end…
