Chapter 140: I will follow you
It takes 15 minutes on foot for their small group to reach Hu Feng's house. After they have crossed the corn field, there was a small village that only consist around 10 families. They were living under small wooden cubicle that they called it house. There were not a lot of people and mostly at the field children were running around.
Hu Feng who has very excited was run toward one of the cubicle while calling his mother. Not long after that, a lady around her 30 with lousy dress appeared from the opposite direction, tears in her eyes and the same facial line indicated that she was his mother.
Hu Feng pounced to the lady and hugged her tightly, she gave a brief scanned to her son body to make sure that he didn't hurt or have any injuries, only after she saw by her own eyes that her son was in good shape, she hugged him again.
Senja and the rest just standing at the side to waiting until the emotional reunion ceased down. When they finally calmed down, just then Yoda realized about Senja and the rest. Hastily he explained about Senja, although it wasn't the true story but he didn't lie when he said Senja had saved him and exaggeratedly claimed that from now on he worked for her.
The lady was hurriedly knelt down to pay her respect to Senja.
"You may rise" Senja said with little bit awkward, she didn't use to this way of 'greeting' but to act recklessly like she used to be, it might startled her.
After the lady stood up, she gestured the two shadow guards to give the gift that they had bought to the lady.
"This lowly one thanking Young Miss, may Hu Feng could serve Young Miss well in the future" With tears the lady knelt down again but this time Hu Feng also knelt down together with her.
Senja who heard the way she was talking became confused and whispered to Yoda beside her "What she mean by serving me in the future?"
"You just bought Hu Feng as your slave with your gift." Yoda whispered back.
"But that isn't what I mean!" Senja hissed when she heard Yoda answered.
"But that what it's mean for them."
"I didn't buy people."
"You just did." Yoda retorted and added "Actually it wasn't a bad thing. It could be considered as a blessed for having a master."
"I don't see you look blessed when you have a master." Senja sneered, what she intended to say was the incident between Yoda and 'his Master' Zee, she didn't see Yoda as a blessing person when he encountered Zee before.
Yoda smiled wryly "It depend on how the Master that you have. For you as his Master, I believe, you won't bully him"
Senja folded her arms and looked at him angrily "Who said I won't bully him?"
Meanwhile the two of them were still kneeling on the ground because Senja was busy talking in low voice with Yoda until the fatty shadow guard approached her and remind her kindly. In view of Senja as an approachable person and easy to talk with, the Fatty shadow guard dare to interrupted and reminded her.
Being reminded Senja slapped her forehead because she forgot to excuse the two people to stand up "You may rise." Senja said with monotonous tone. This ceremony was troublesome.
They didn't stay for long time, after Hu Feng and his mother were exchanging a few words and Senja gave the remaining money inside the pouch to the lady, she accepted it with tearful eyes and grateful.
When they returned to Roccaleaf Tea House, Senja couldn't help but voice out her curiosity.
"Kid, your mother doesn't need to cry that hard. If Commander Xiao has done with you he will release you." Although Senja couldn't guarantee this, but there wasn't any benefit for Xiao Tianyao to keep holding this kid as a hostage, right?
"If Commander Xiao releases me, I will follow you." Hu Feng said with affirmation.
"No. I don't want you to follow me." Senja rejected the idea immediately.
"But, you already bought me."
"That was a gift. No other meaning"
"In that case then I will follow you willingly." Hu Feng concluded cheerfully.
"What 9 years old kid can do?"
"I am 11 years old actually."
Senja just heaved a heavy sigh, too lazy for argumentation. He can do as he please, as long as this kid didn't hinder her way, then everything would be fine. Senja glanced at him, he was the first kid that appeared on her vision but until now she didn't have any clue that related to this kid to find 'Yun'. Maybe it was a right decision also to keep him with her, so she could find out what the silver link between this boy and 'Yun'.
