Translating Sloth

In the dark, both of Xia Fen’s legs kicked out, rushing into Xia Ling Mei’s embrace. His small body rocked in his arms for a little while, finally he grasped hold of her waist, rapidly breathing he climbed a little higher, then holding his mother’s neck, rubbing his head against hers over and over, repeatedly calling `mother`. Xia Ling Mei held her son tightly, slowly exhaling. This small idiot was like a cat seeing fish when he sees his mother, no matter where, no matter what he was doing, he wouldn’t care, as if in his eyes apart from his mother there was no longer anybody else or anything. “Speak in whispers, your daddy is sleeping.” Xia Ling Mei turned her head to look at Wang Yun Feng on the bed. Maybe he was too tired,  Xia Fen had made such a ruckus, Wang Yun Feng still slept very deeply. Bedding were kicked off, showing the arm he was half hugging, originally Xia Fen was lying in there, now it was already completely empty. It looks as if, these days that Xia Li...

Wang Yun Feng pushed everyone away and rushed outside, only seeing the injured and victims walking to and fro. Juan Shu ran over: “Master, you called for me?” Wang Yun Feng looked at him strangely: “Who said I was looking for you?” “Ah,” Juan Shu scratched his head, looking left and right, again smiling: “Master didn’t you call a random lady to get me? What’s going on?” Wang Yun Feng grabbed hold of him: “Where is the mistress?” Juan Shu appeared to not have heard what he said: “After she spoke she left.” Juan Shu seemed very busy, in his hand he still held herbal medicine, as he muttered if the master is fine then I’ll get on, after if there’s nothing then don’t randomly call for me, I’m so busy I’m about to die, master you have a beautiful woman to accompany you but don’t come out to show off, I’m worried you’ll fail miserably… Juan Shu’s mouth was like a parrot’s, once it’s open it would incessantly blather on. Wang Yun Feng was used to him prattling on, he ...

The torrential rain over these past few days stopped, most of the injured were able to walk around for a bit, go seek for their lost family. Gathering in the temporary wooden house laughter gradually could be heard, even the burned and buried corpses in the ten li radius stopped burning for two days, unable to see the dusty smoke rising in tight spirals. The Hua family’s carriage after leaving the city gates was unable to move, there were tents everywhere outside the city gates, the tops covered with pieces of straw, dried up branches and patched household clothes, there wasn’t a single road wide enough for the carriage to pass through. The accompanying maids covered their noses in distaste, the fragrance on their handkerchief mixed with the body odour emitting from the victims, fragrant and smelly, even the wild dogs struggling to survive felt that smell assaulted their noses, even smellier and more unpleasant than corpse. The Hua family’s carriage driver had been prepared at...

The emperor haughtily said, “You ought to say, Your Majesty, please dine” Zhao Jin Yu, “…” The emperor had thought of teaching the girl in front of him more on what was seniority, but it was now stuck in the dish of fragrant food assailing his nose, directly in front of him was a thoroughly cooked spare rib, the flaky and well-cooked meat already peeling off from its bone, languidly leaning against the bottom of the bowl, like it was waiting for him to take a bite, behind him was a soft potato, its warm heat pressed against his back, this moment was absolutely wonderful, the smell of the food was like a hand tugging at his stomach, seducing his taste buds. Not concerned now, first eat then talk later. Zhao Jin Yu attentively looked at the stone, the more she looked the more amazed she was, only seeing the little spotless white stone nesting in the bowl motionless, yet the food all around it however at a slow speed under her naked eyes become less, she even moved her he...
