Chapter 67: The Wife of the Village Chief

  After learning about Laya's news, Rain rushed out of the room and was blocked by Emily at the door.

  "Emily? What's going on?" Rain said in confusion and anger.

  "Hehe, Lain, do you know where Layyah lives? I don't want a madman to appear in Luoxia Village, hehe!" Emily laughed and then led him to hurry outside.

  Laine looked a bit embarrassed, didn't expect him to misunderstand Emily's kindness, scratched his head awkwardly and followed closely.

  When Lain, who was pale and flustered, arrived at Leila's residence under Emily's guidance, there was no sign of Leila. The room was tidy and clean, but on the pillow in front of the bed lay an unfinished little red shoe.

  "Renn, Layla just left, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and chase after her!" Emily said with some urgency as she looked at Renn who was still in a daze.

  "Oh!" Lain finally came back to himself, put the unfinished doll shoe into his arms and rushed out hastily.

  "Leya, Leya......" The urgent calls of Rain could be heard all over Luoxia Village, but...

  Half a day later, Rains returned to Emily's residence again, hanging his head in shame, returning empty-handed.

  "Alas..." Rayn took out a pair of red children's shoes from his bosom, staring at them absent-mindedly, and occasionally letting out a long sigh.

  "Renn, don't worry, Layla won't go far, she should be around here somewhere. If she wants to see you, she won't keep hiding from you either, just..." Emily comforted.

  "Hmm, I see. I hurt her, but I was forced to at the time. It's all Somart's fault... Ah, Somart is already dead, no use talking about it anymore... *sigh*..." Rayn occasionally let out a long sigh as he spoke somewhat incoherently.

  "Raine, are you currently living on Cliff Peak of Luo Feng Mountain?" Emily suddenly asked.

  "Hmm!" Ray nodded and didn't make any explanation. As expected, Emily was familiar with his whereabouts.

  "Who... Ugh..." Emily stood up, her angry eyes staring at Rain, too furious to speak, then let out a deep sigh, hung her head low and sat back down in silence.

  "Goodbye!" Lain put the single child's shoe back into his bosom, waved goodbye and left.

  "Renn, wait!" Emily shouted loudly, then...

  Since returning from Luoxia Village, Lein has been absent-minded all day, occasionally taking out the red children's shoes from his pocket and staring blankly. He now seems indifferent to everything, uninterested in anything, but when looking at the shoes in his hand, he would smile from time to time, then fall silent again.

  Luo Fengshan's forces were still expanding rapidly, and within just two months, their troops had already expanded to over 5,000 people. Their sphere of influence almost covered the entire Luo Fengshan region, seriously threatening the status of the Si Te family in Bian Guan.

  The chaotic situation in the Kastel Empire is still ongoing, and other countries are still massing troops along the border, but there is no sign of attack, as if they are still waiting for something.

  As spring went and summer arrived, the Luofeng Mountain area, which was like spring all year round, did not feel the change of seasons. Lain still wore a blue military uniform, the only difference being that he had an additional red cloak on his back, which Emily had personally handed to him before leaving Luoxia Village, and also told him about her upcoming wedding.

  Today is the day of Emily's wedding, and the whole village of Luoxia is filled with joy, drums shaking the sky, laughter ringing out, and a lively atmosphere. Meanwhile, Rain stands on a rock halfway up the cliff, staring blankly in the direction of Luoxia Village, lost in thought, with countless thoughts swirling in his mind.

  Rein, once a lifelong soldier of the Kaster Empire, has now become the leader of the bandits on Mount Luo Feng. In the end, he still can't escape his fate as a rebel; On the day of his wedding to Yulia, the entire Rein family was annihilated; In this world where it's hard to find someone you fall in love with at first sight, today she's marrying another man; Layla is even pregnant with his child. He... Such dramatic changes make Rein laugh and cry at the same time, filled with emotion.

  "Alas..." Reyn let out a long sigh and turned around, just about to head back.

  "Captain Laine, Captain Laine!" Just then, the familiar voice of Rades came from far away, and he was rushing towards this place quickly.

  "Haha, this kid is really clingy, wherever I go, I can run into him." Lain sighed and shook his head helplessly, quickly walking over.

  "What's going on now?" Ladd said with some impatience.

  "Captain Laine, Los has caught a hostage for you, hurry over." Ladis said breathlessly.

  "What? How dare Los! He's got a lot of nerve! Ignoring our new camp rules like that... It's infuriating!" Reyn said, furious and exasperated.

  "Where are Laddie, Russ and Dakota?" Rain asked quickly.

  "They were all watching the lady, but I sneaked in, Captain, you mustn't give me away, I..." Ladis came to his senses and explained with a tearful face.

  "Got it!" Rayn said impatiently and quickly sprinted towards the Cliff Peak Base.

  "Hah... " Looking at Rains' distant back, Lades' face fell into a strange smile, then quickly came to the rock where Rains was just now, gazing in the direction of Luoxia Village in the distance, and burst out laughing again.

  On his way back, Lein was anxious and ran all the way, worried that Los and others would once again destroy the good reputation they had just established in the Luofeng Mountain area.

  At this time, Laine's heart was also filled with self-reproach. Since returning from Luoxia Village, he had been in a gloomy mood for several days, drowning his sorrows in wine. Rus, Dako, Los and others all saw it with their own eyes and were worried in their hearts. If Los forcibly took the commoner girl for himself, then his guilt would be even greater.

  "Huh? They wouldn't have kidnapped Emily from Luoxia Village, would they?" Suddenly, Rain stopped in his tracks, because up ahead, not far away, there were gongs and drums set out, and Rus and the others were all dressed in festive attire, and there was a flower sedan chair, and a drum and bugle corps, and...

  "Brother Rus, Brother Dakota, how could you two...” Lain's heart ached and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If only Los had made a mistake, there would still be room for maneuvering, after all, he was an outlaw at heart. But Rus and Dakota were also involved, and he didn't know how to deal with this thorny issue.

  "The captain is back, the drum and bugle corps are getting ready!" Russ shouted loudly as he saw Rain's figure in the distance.

  The sound of gongs and drums, the beautiful music sounded in Rén's ears like a thunderclap, extremely piercing, he was furious and ran away quickly.
