Translating Sloth

  Wang Da Xia’s brain was filled with money, everything was about money. Wei Cai Wei remembered when Wang Da Xia set up this “accidental encounter” at the altar tonight he had said Lu Bing had gone to the underground prison to see the convict Ding Ru Kui early this morning, ordering the jailors to set up an altar in the courtyard tonight. Just now they had “accidentally encountered” Ding Ru Kui, Ding Ru Kui had held a remarkably written thousand word speech and read it aloud as a eulogy, offering sacrifices to an old friend, she heard the eulogy was written for Wei Nan Shan and his wife. Ding Ru Kui had been locked underground for ten years, cut off from the rest of the world, of course he wasn’t aware Wei Nan Shan and his wife had passed away within a day of each other. So, the clever Wei Cai Wei guessed what Lu Bing had said to Ding Ru Kui this morning. Wei Nan Shan was just a retainer who looked after Ding Wu, Lu Bing wouldn’t have gone to find Ding Ru Kui for an insignificant perso

 Wei Cai Wei was anxious to follow Ding Ru Kui, she had no time to answer Wang Da Xia’s series of questions, she hurriedly used her crutch to chase after him saying: “Ding Wu said, he buried a jar of shaoxing wine with you under the peach tree outside the study window, there will be a day he’ll dig it out with you and get drunk with you on it.” The sound of leg-irons being dragged suddenly stopped.

Wei Cai Wei was about to give chase again, the jailor stopped her, “Lord Lu has ordered, anyone who goes down to see prisoner Ding must have his written order, please don’t make things difficult for us.” Wang Da Xia grabbed her sleeve,

  Wang Da Xia thought he had found out the information about Ding Ru Kui because he had given them watermelon, but it wasn’t true, he didn’t know he was already a rising star in the embroidered uniform guards, Lu Ying had personally recruited him, the commander Lu Bing “respectfully” welcomed him, it was equal to being the “disciple of the emperor”, it was because of these two things that he could strut around the embroidered uniform guards. He had a favourable family background and was good looking as well as approachable, he didn’t have the attitude of someone being favoured, to find out about the prisoner he even bought everyone watermelon with his own money. He was sometimes careless, unreliable and unpleasant, but when it came to important things he was reliable, especially during that stormy night, Wang Da Xia had gotten the embroidered uniform guards to put down their shovels midway, forcing the study companion to personally dig resulting in a streak of lightning to strike the s
