Chapter 30 Same But Different

When the group arrived at the inn, it was almost dawn. The group booked a room and they sat in the main dining room to have dinner. In the main dinning room, they met Suo Dongmei, Mo Ehuang, and Hua Jian, the three people were already sitting in the main dinning room.

As soon as Bazar Batu saw the three people, he murmured, ""Huh, evil man and evil women."

Kuo Lok, "Batu…"

Bazar Batu said, "Lok ge ge,I can't eat and dine in the same inn with them. Can we change to another inn?"

Kuo Lok, "Since Jiejie has booked the room, we can't." He looked at Bazar Batu. "If you don't want to see them, then we can go out for dinner and come back later in the evening."

Bazar Batu, "Alright."

Kuo Lok stood up and talk with Kuo Wenqian, then he went back to Bazar Batu and said, "Let's go."

Bazar Batu stood up happily and walked out of the main entrance of the inn with Kuo Lok. The evening market is great, people walk around enjoying themselves. Kuo Lok and Bazar Batu are sitting at a table. They heard a drunk man calling the vendor owner.

The drunk man wants to drink three more jar of wine, but the owner is unwilling to give him more. The vendor owner said, "Young man, you have enough."

Drunk man, "I have money to pay. I have money to pay." He hit the table hard. "Give me more."

Bazar Batu turned around and looked at the drunk man. He murmured, "Ma ge." He stood up and walked to the table. "Ma ge, it's you."

Ma Jinggou, "Who are you?"

Bazar Batu, "It's me, Batu."

Ma Jinggou raised his head and said, , "Batu?...Do you see my xiao shushu?"

Bazar Batu, "Did you go look for him?"

Ma Jinggou smiled and said, "I forgot... I found him... He left with his lover." He grabbed the pot of wine.

Bazar Batu quickly snatched the jug of wine from Ma Jinggou's hands. He yelled frantically, "Ma ge!" He slammed the jug of wine on the table violently. "Isn't this how you should deal with pain? Did you forget what I told you years ago? Being drunk won't make you forget Mu Dishi."

Ma Jinggou snatched the jug of wine from Bazar Batu. He said sadly, "I am not trying to forget him…Is just that…"His tears fell. "When I am drunk...I can clearly see his face." He stood up, grabbed two jugs of wine, and walked away.

Bazar Batu was about to chase after Ma Jinggou, but Kuo Lok stopped him. Kuo Lok said, "Batu, there are some things you can't do. This person will have to save himself."

The vendor owner realized that Ma Jinggou had not paid after he left. He raised his voice after Ma Jinggou.

Bazar Batu grabbed the vendor owner's left shoulder and said, "I'll pay for his wine. Just add it to our bill."

Kuo Lok and Bazar Batu were sitting on their table. Then, one hand firmly grasped Bazar Batu's left shoulder.

Bazar Bataar said firmly, "I didn't know that you actually found your way back here."

Bazar Batu turned around, "Ge…"

Bazar Bataar, "Since you are all right, we are going home."

Bazar Batu quickly said, "No, I have not been completely cured. I still need Lok ge to transfer his inner energy to heal me."

Bazar Bataar asked, "Really?" He looked at Kuo Lok.

Kuo Lok said, "Batu has fully recovered."

Lee Jie smiled and said, "I like this man."

Lee Jia, "Batu, do you know you lie too much."

Bazar Batu interrupted, "When I reach heaven, they will cut my tongue."

Lee Jie, "Since you know, why continue to lie?."

Bazar Batu was upset and he looked away from his brother and two sisters-in-law. He frowned, "Because everyone always force me to do things I don't want to do."

Bazar Bataar, "We only want you to do things that are good for you."

Bazar Batu said madly, "What is good for me? Have you asked what I want? No, you didn't. Even though I don't want to marry that woman, but you always insist that I marry her."

Lee Jia asked, "What is wrong with her? She is the daughter of a respected captain."

Lee Jie said, "Besides, father wants you to get marry when you are eighteen."

Bazar Bataar added, "If you don't like her, anyone is fine by me as long as you get married."

Bazar Batu smiled and asked, "Ge, are you sure?"

Bazar Bataar, "I am a man of my word. If I don't keep my promise, then you can call me a dog."

Bazar Batu asked, "Really?"

Bazar Bataar, "My words stand."

Bazar Batu smiled and said, "Alright." He looked at Bazar Bataar and his two wives. "I will marry him." He pointed to Kuo Lok.

Bazar Bataar hit the table hard. He yelled in angrily, "Nonsense!"

Bazar Batu, "Ge…you promise that as long as I get married, you don't care who I choose.. Are you going back on your word? If you go back on your word then you will be a DOG..." He looked at Kuo Lok and asked, "Lok ge ge, you are willing to marry me, right?"

Kuo Lok replied, "I am willing."

Bazar Batu smiled and said, "See, Lok ge ge is willing to marry me." He looked at his two sisters in-law. "You two are my witnesses."

Lee Jia poured a cup of tea in Bazar Bataar, "Drink some tea to calm yourself down."

Bazar Bataar took some big breaths and looked at Kuo Lok angrily. He asked, "How old are you?"

Kuo Lok replied, "I will be twenty years old in two days."

After they finished their meal, Kuo Lok and Bazar Batu stood up and started to leave.

Bazar Bataar quickly stood up and asked, "Where are you going?"

Bazar Batu, "We are going back to the inn."

Bazar Bataar, "Very well, we will walk with you." He looked at Bazar Batu, and then at and smiled. "Are you sure he wants to marry you?" He smiled at Bazar Batu. "You have a lot of tricks, I don't know what to believe you anymore."

Bazar Batu knew that his brother will not let it go. Since he will deceive him anyway, why not go all out? He looked at Kuo Lok and said, "Lok ge ge, kiss me."

Kuo Lok looked at Bazar Batu and asked, "Right now?"

Bazar Batu nodded. Kuo Lok then lowered his head and kissed Bazar Batu's lips. Bazar Bataar and his two wives almost fainted in the street.

Bazar Batu held Kuo Lok's left hand and said to his brother, "Quickly, the inn we stay is this way."

The two young men walked side by side on the open street holding each other's hands, but the three elders walking slowly behind them were full of confusion and anger, especially Bazar Bataar.

When Kuo Lok and the group arrived at the Inn, Bazar Batu noticed that the workers in the Inn were different from the previous ones, even the guests in the Inn were different. The guests in the inn now seem to be martial artists. Bazar Batu holds Kuo Lok's hand.

Bazar Batu whispered quietly, "Be careful."

A waiter was standing at their table and he asked, "What can I give you?"

Bazar Batu replied, "Plain bun."

The waiter said, "How about tea?"

Bazar Batu, "We want buns. No tea."

The waiter insisted, "Our tea smells good. Without water, plain buns may get stuck on your throat and you may die from it."

Bazar Bataar said, "No tea."

Bazar Batu looked at the waiter, and then said, "You keep insisted that we drink tea, are you tea poisoned?"

The waiter laughed it off, "No, is just that our tea taste and smell every good."

Lee Jia, "We will pass."

Lee Jie, "Bring us what we ordered."

The waiter left, and after a while, he brought back two plates of eight plan buns. He stared at the group of people.

Bazar Batu took one of the bun and said, "Waiter, how are we going to eat if you staring at us?"

The waiter walked away from the group and stood by the register, still staring at them.

Kuo Lok, "Where is Wenqian jiejie and the the others?"

Bazar Batu, "Let's get out of here first."

Baazar Bataar, "Make a scene. You are the master of striving trouble."

Bazar Batu stood up and threw the two plates of bun on the flood. He pointed his finger at Bazar Bataar and shouted, ``How dare you say that to me? What trouble did I cause to you?"

Bazar Bataar hit the table hard, "Don't talk to me like this. I'm older than you." He grabbed Bazar Batu's front robe with both hands. "I will drag you out of here, and then go home."

The people in the hotel were puzzled by what happened.

Bazar Batu pushed Bazar Bataar hand's away, "I'm not going, Lok ge ge help me."

Kuo Lok grabbed onto Bazar Bataar's hand, and the three men began to push and pull walking towards the front door while two women tried to stop them.

Bazar Batu muttered quietly, "Ge, don't pull me too hard."

Bazar Bataar replied quietly, "Shut it."

When they got closer and closer to the front door and were about to leave, the five people ran into a young and old Taoist.
