A Tale Of Thousand Stars – Novel BoyLove – Chapter 5.1
The soldier with a face of indifference left ‘a century ago’. before PhuPha left, he also told Tian not to walk arbitrarily in the village.
Although Thailand is growing day by day, its people still live a very conservative way of life, they still believe in customs from ancient times.
On the way back to the village, there is a gate called “Lo Khong” made of rosewood or bamboo, above it is a wooden beam roof and decorated with sculptural paintings. Strangers should not enter the village without permission and they must obey the rule of waiting in front of the village gate, waiting for the villagers to take them away.
But when Tian arrived there it was already late at night and he even entered the back of the village! If the traditional customs were fulfilled in the villages, our friend Tian would certainly experience the true sensation of burning in the sun in the middle of the forest.
Fortunately for him, the residents here did not put many outsiders in the village because they had a lot of time to receive the civilization developed by the volunteer teachers. Then, for him, the entire village will perform a welcoming ritual, seeing if he is officially a villager.
After returning from the waterfall, Tian was resting when he heard the village chief say to him: “Even if PhuPha doesn’t take you to another waterfall to bathe, that’s okay, because the villagers prepared enough baths for you, right away. Even the food is ready. But I don’t know why PhuPha wanted to take you to the waterfall, where people usually wash clothes.”
Upon hearing this, Tian was unable to contain his anger. It turns out that he was provoked by that person. He ground his teeth and said to the village chief: “He probably wanted me to go there to train my body .”
“There is one thing that makes me curious. He has never been condescending to any volunteer teacher until now, have you two met before?”
When he heard that question, he froze for a while because he didn’t know how to introduce himself. Actually, he didn’t know PhuPha, but that heart knew him well.
Tian shook his head instead of an answer. As soon as they arrived at the door, Tian spoke up thanking the village leader for giving him
rice and glutinous bacon, which was hundreds of times better than the canned food he carried.
Tian decided to “visit” his house to see what it was..Nothing interesting, so he went to the house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a jar full of cold, clean water, his beautiful face suddenly tensed.
Trying to praise this soldier, he cared about the others when he fixed the top of this place, but suddenly remembered when he had to go a long distance to shower…He really just wanted to yell at him now. This instant Although he hid his feelings for that muscular soldier and also an expert in the field of caring for others, when he thought he was taken for miles. To take a shower, he couldn’t help but swear.
“Oh!” He knocked the bottle cap back to its original position, as if to relieve his anger. Fortunately, he quickly took his medicine again in time, otherwise his heart would beat so that his limbs would fall. Even now, his health is improving every day, but if he struggles to do something, the same situation still happens.
Tian turned his face in the opposite direction. Not far from him, a small room was woven with bamboo so that it couldn’t see through the hole and was covered with stray grass. The room was alone in the empty forest behind. When he opened the door, a strong, unpleasant smell hit his nose. At the same time, the saw the hole covered by a board and in the middle of the board he drilled a hole to be used to ‘relieve sadness’ .
The young master made a disgusted face and immediately closed the door and left…
It seemed more difficult to live than he thought. He despondently wiped the sweat from his forehead and then back to the roar of the little house.
In the bamboo hut there was a stove, a pot, a frying pan, a rice steamer and a cylindrical wooden pestle with a lid that he didn’t understand what they were for. Although the outside of the pan was burnt because of the coal dust, but the inside was so clean that he thought someone was already rubbing it.
Or suggesting that he can cook himself.
Tian sat frustrated in the tent. When he was a child, when he was camping with a Boy Scout, he was assigned to be the team’s chef. The results were raw rice, burnt eggs and fried chicken with spilled blood. From then on, no one dared to let him do anything.
He will probably starve to death… Tian is really speechless. At the moment, he just wants to collect all his belongings and take the car to Bangkok.
He sat and rested on the old steps, he did not want to enter. Just sit there with his feet playing with the water at the back of the house, the breeze blowing gently brings a little heat. He was looking at nature, when he heard
someone calling him.
“Professor… Professor Tian!” It was Sergeant Yot. At the moment, he is wearing a blue T-shirt and also the inner shirt of his military uniform. This means that he is out of the shift.
Tian rubbed his eyes, blinked a moment to regain consciousness and replied to the sergeant, “What’s the matter, sergeant?”
“It’s already five in the afternoon, professor! At this hour, in the village courtyard everyone has already prepared a party to welcome the teacher! The teacher will always go with me, so that there is no time to heal.”
The city boy nodded furiously, lazily turning his body back and forth just before leaning over to put his feet on expensive sneakers.
“.. Actually, there is no need for such a flashy organization ?.”
“It is a tradition of the Akha people. If people have a heart, we also have greed, you don’t have to think about it too much.” The high ranking officer smiled at his opponent’s not-so-pretty appearance.
