The struggle of villagers in rural areas where civilization has not yet reached them. Most of their occupations are farming, so there are capitalists from the city who bring money to sow in order to become owners of the rice fields, but are opposed by the young people of the new generation, causing conflicts with each other.

Episode 1: Afternoon at Nong Pla Mo Market. The last songtaew bus that runs from the district. I came to park at the market. People are walking around Nearly twenty male and female passengers walked out of the car.

“Nong Pla Mo has run out of time.”

The young man's voice shouted to the passengers.

Three young men in camouflage training gear, carrying sea bags on their left shoulders, followed each other out of the car as the last ones.

Somnuek, Ek, and Cherd, three young men from Ban Don Phayom who left their hometown to serve as soldiers in Korat for two years. Today was the day the three were discharged from the military. They were traveling back home to Don Phayom, which the three of them missed every day and night.

“We'd better get something to eat first.”

Somnuk, who was taller and more handsome than his friend, spoke up.

“Please come first.”

The noodle seller at a nearby shop invited me with a smile.

“Is there anything to eat, boss?”

The tall, skinny Donna asked as he placed the sea bag on the ground.

“Come on, boss, I have something delicious to prepare, so please give me a cold beer.”

The man with a strong body like a single tamarind spoke up, sticking out his tongue and licking his own lips.

"It's here. It's guaranteed to be delicious."

The boss brought three bowls of hot noodles to the table along with three bottles of cold beer.

The three of them sat and ate their noodles in silence. Lifting the beer bottle in front of him, he downed it into his mouth in several gulps in succession until it was half full.

“Damn Cherd, are you ashamed of other customers?”

"Hey, Donna, I'm hungry."

Only Somnuek lifted the beer bottle and took a slow sip.

For a long time, the three of them were full and finished every bottle of beer.

“Tao Kae, is there a bus to Ban Don Phayom?”

Somnuk asked and picked up a red banknote and placed it on the table.

“Nothing, except there is a car leaving from Don Phayom or there is a car leaving from here to Don Phayom.”

“Thank you very much boss, save the money.”

“A hundred baht in all.”

A red banknote was placed in the noodle vendor's pants pocket and three glasses of cold water were served to appease the customers.

"There's no car, so we have to walk."

Donna spoke in a soft voice.

“I don't mind walking, but I'd like to stock up on several bottles of beer.”

Speak clearly and clearly

“Brün”

Everyone had yet to say anything before a large white pickup truck pulled up in front of the store. Two men in blue safari suits got out of their car and walked into the store.

“Please take a seat. What should we get?”

“Anything is delicious, boss.”

The younger man ordered and moved a chair for another older man to sit.

“Does the owner of Ban Don Phayom have to go far?”

The young man who put the noodle spoon into the bowl asked.

"Almost twenty kilometers."

Both the question and the answer that Somnuek and his friend heard made everyone turn to look at each other.

“The boss collects the money.”

“Yes, fifty baht in all.”

A young man handed a fifty baht bill to the noodle seller.

"Thank you very much. Please come again next time."

“Sorry, just now I heard that you were going to Ban Don Phayom, right?”

Somnuk asked considerately as he walked to stand in front of the young man.

"Yes, I'm going to Ban Don Phayom."

“Me and three friends were about to return home to Don Phayom. Can I take the car with you?"

The young man turned to look at the elderly man sitting next to him. Then turned and nodded to Somnuek with a smile.

“OK.”

"thank you very much"

Somnuek said and raised his hands to greet the two men.

“Brün”

The engine started and the car sped away from the front of Nong Pla Market. Mo Somnuek and everyone were sitting under the canvas roof of the pickup truck.

The car was always traveling along a dirt road with dust behind it. Somnuk and everyone sat quietly, thinking about the past two years when they were conscripted into the military in Korat and were sent out to maintain peace and order in the country on the eastern border of the country. It was such a time. That's so fast

“What are you thinking about?”

Donna shouted a question competing with the sound of the engine.

“I miss Baan Don Phayom.”

Somnuk shouted in response and also nudged Ek to turn and look at Cherd, who was lifting a beer bottle and drinking from the back of the pickup.

“And what about you? What are you thinking about?”

"I'll have my father ask for a wife, Ek."

The three of them joked with each other with ease. Cherd handed the beer bottle in his hand to Somnuek to Ek. Meanwhile, on both sides of the road there were rice fields that were full of golden ears. Then began to see houses next to the road often. Many farmers standing on top of the rice fields turned to look at the moving vehicles.

Somnuk lifted the watch on his wrist and looked at it. It said 3:00 p.m.

“We forgot to ask the owner of the car where we were going.”

Donna said and looked out of the car.

“Finally we have returned to Don Phayom house.”

Ek said happily when the car drove into Ban Don Phayom area.

“Brün”

The car stops at the entrance in front of the village.

“Where will we get off?”

The young man driving the car leaned out the window and turned to ask.

“So where are you going?”

Ek leaned his head off the canvas roof.

"Go to Elder Moo's house."

“Then we would like to go down to Patriarch Moo's house.”

The car started driving again, passing villagers' houses that were growing next to each other. After a while, he ran and parked in front of a large two-story wooden house with a large sign on the board that read: Don Phayom Village Headman's Office

“Let's go home.”

Cherd said happily, everyone came down and stood next to the car.

“Are you an adult?”

"Father and mother are you together? I've come back."

Cherd and the young man driving the car shouted together.

“Woof!”

Two black and white dogs ran and barked in front of the house.

"Who's here? You black bastard, Pui, let's go."

A man's voice spoke loudly from the back of the house as he and the young man looked at each other.

“Are you an adult child, Pig?”

"yes"

“Then let's just be friends. I am Lieutenant Supoj.”

The young man finished speaking and held out his hand for him to shake.

"Oh, Cherd, have you come back yet? And whose car is that?"

“Hello dad, hello, hello adults.”

"Er, let's all go home first."

“Adults, Permanent Secretary is coming with us in the car.”

"Why didn't the lieutenant tell me?"

Elder Moo walked around and opened the left car door and raised his hand to greet the elderly man sitting in the car.

“Hello, Permanent Secretary, please come into the house first.”

“Yes, adults, hello.”

Elder Moo walked and talked with Palad Niyom very intimately.

Elder Pig welcomes Palad Niyom and everyone to a set of marble benches in front of the house. Greet everyone with a full glass of cold water.

“Does Permanent Secretary Madon Phayom have any urgent work today?”

“It's not like that, adults. Just come and survey general basic information of the village.”

“Everything here is still the same. Seventy households and four hundred people live a frugal life.”

“Very good, adults, who are these three young men?”

“The person sitting next to me is named Cherd, my son. The other two are Somnuek and Ek. These are the children in the village.”

“Today, my friend and I were discharged from the military.”

Somnuk, who had been sitting silent all this time, spoke up.

“In that case, it would be appropriate for us to come back and help develop Ban Don Phayom.”

"I'm happy to help as much as I can, Permanent Secretary."

“Very good, Somnuk”

“Can the adults take me to see the school and the health center that was built?”

“Alright, Permanent Secretary.”

Lieutenant Supoj drove out of the front of the house and took the deputy and everyone along the road, heading out towards the edge of the field about a kilometer away. The car stopped in front of a large one-story wooden school building with buildings built similarly and close to each other. The building was quiet. The condition still looked strong and beautiful. The deputy and everyone walked around the two buildings and inspected them carefully.

Many villagers returning from the rice fields walked by and looked at him suspiciously. When I saw that the adult pig I don't doubt it if I stay with you.

“This year, Ban Don Phayom will probably get a lot of rice, elders.”

“Yes, Permanent Secretary, it must be as many as every year.”

“There are schools with no teachers. There is health and no doctor.”

Palad Niyom said while standing and looking at the two buildings.

“Why don't the authorities send teachers and doctors to be stationed here?”

“No teachers or doctors are willing to come as adults because it is far from civilization.”

“If my friends and I volunteer to teach preschool children and basic medical care?”

Palad Niyom looked at Somnuek and smiled.

“Are you sure you can do it?”

"Yes, when I was in the military, my friends and I continued to study until we graduated from high school. We also trained in first aid from a field medic at the Army Corps of Engineers."

“Aek and Cherd, can you do it?”

"okay"

“Very good, then we can proceed tomorrow and I will quickly send all the equipment from the district.”

“Is there something troubling you right now, adults?”

"do not have"

In the evening, Phuyai Mu welcomed Palad Niyom and Lieutenant Supoj to their home until evening and then returned home.

Ek asked to go back to his parents, who ran a grocery store in the village. Somnuek had to spend the night at Cherd's house because his house was far away across the rice fields and it was a closed house with no one living there.

In the morning, Somnuk walked across a vast rice field with tin roofs visible in the distance. Many villagers greeted him happily to see him.

For nearly an hour, Somnuek walked down a small road and stopped in front of an old bamboo gate. Look at the large Thai-style house that has been closed and no one has lived in it for a long time. The entire area of ​​the house fell into silence as the many clumps of moss that were overgrown behind the house rustled softly from the rustling winds of the fields.

“Grack”

The bamboo door opened. Many farming tools and equipment were lying in the basement with jagged dust stains on them.

A large sea bag on his shoulder was placed on a mat in the basement of the house. Finished taking off your shoes. Somnuk reached into his pants pocket for a large brass key and walked up the stairs.

“Grack Add”

The large brass padlock that held the lock was unlocked. The door opened. All the windows were opened. Light shines into the house.

Somnuek walked to a stop in front of a shelf attached to the wall of a photograph of a man and a woman, along with two brass urns holding ashes, side by side.

“Father, mother, I have returned.”

Until afternoon, Somnuk cleaned up. Finished cleaning the house Ready to repair a large bicycle that was in the basement of the house until it could be ridden.

“What do you think you are doing?”

Donna stood shouting next to the bicycle in front of the rattling door.

"Oh, Donna, come in."

Ek finished parking his bike and walked over to Somnuk who was sitting smoking on a mat under the house and then removed his backpack and put it on the mat.

“What did you bring?”

“My father and mother brought rice, fish sauce, and canned fish for you.”

“It shouldn't be a problem, I'm just about to enter the village.”

“Well, take it, the big man gave it to you. But this is the one I stole from the store at home.”

Finished speaking, Ek took out a bottle of white wine from his backpack and set it on the mat.

“Like this, your father is at a loss.”

"Well, that's just a little bit."

After Palad Niyom returned for three days, the school and the health center were scoured and wiped clean with the help of the villagers, with Somnuk, Cherd and Ek being the mainstays.

“Think of stopping by at Uncle's house this evening.”

Elder Moo shouted to Somnuek who was helping the villagers clean the school, then the elder rode his bicycle into the village.

“Why did your father call me to your house?”

“I don't know either.”

In the evening, after the villagers had all returned to their homes, Somnuk, Ek and Cherd rode their bicycles together to Cherd's house.

“Come in before everyone else.”

Elder Pig called out.

“Uncle, do you have any business with me?”

"There's something to think about. Oh, this is the rent money Na-eng gave to him while he went to the military for two years."

Somnuk received a thick brown paper envelope from the elder's hand. He opened the envelope and pulled out a large stack of red banknotes.

“Oh my gosh, why is it so much?”

"Well, it's all yours. Take it."

“Thank you very much, Uncle.”

Somnuk raised his hand to pay respects to the elder Moo. Put the holster in your hand in the pocket of the camouflage pants you are wearing.

“And me, Dad?”

"Why would you do that?"

“Why don't I get money like Nut Man?”

"Your stuff is in the bank in that province. If you want it, you have to withdraw it yourself."

When Elder Pig, his father, finished speaking, it made Cherd smile. He moved to hug his father in an appeasement manner.

“I love my father the most.”

Elder Pig looked at his son and smiled.

"Well, since your mother died of jungle fever ten years ago along with Nut's father and mother, I have always loved you and Nut."

“What about me, this Ek? Do you love me too?”

Elder Moo looked at Ek sitting next to him and smiled.

"Rak Siwa, you are the child of Ai Sangwian and Nang Phum, old friends who have been together for decades."

After eating dinner until we were full at Cherd's house. Somnuek and Ek rode their bikes to Ek's house. that opened as a village shop

At Ek's shop Many customers are buying food, fresh and dry goods, and many liquor lovers are sitting at the tables in front of the store.

“Selling things really well, Uncle Wian, Aunt Pum.”

Somnuk greeted Ek's father and mother.

“Well, I think it's like this every day. It's happened before. Regarding opening schools and health Where have you gone?”

Ek's father, Sangwan, asked while weighing pickled bamboo shoots for customers.

"It's almost ready. I'll be able to open applications next week."

Ek helps his father pick up items for customers who are waiting.

I talked and greeted many people at Ek's shop for a while. Somnuk then cycled home.

I talked and greeted many people at Ek's shop for a while. Somnuk then cycled home.

(Please follow the next episode)

Part 2

The area around the house was quiet, probably only the wind from the field blowing and rustling the bamboo clumps. Somnuk dug out a bottle of liquor from his backpack that was on the mat. He poured several gulps into his mouth in succession. Then he walked over and lay down on a woven bamboo cot hanging in the basement. It didn't take long for Somnuek to fall asleep as the bottle of liquor fell on the floor under the cradle.

Late the next morning, after eating rice and canned fish, Somnuek rode his partner's bicycle to Phop-Ek-Cherd School, along with dozens of other villagers who were signing up their children's classes.

"Oh, I just thought of it. Let's help quickly."

Cherd said as he moved the chair next to him.

At ten o'clock in the morning the registration of school applications for the villagers' children was finished.

“Finished with thirty people according to the total number of applicants.”

Ek said relieved, turning to smile at Somnuek and Cherd sitting next to him.

“It needs to be recharged a bit.”

Ek took out a flat bottle from his trouser pocket next to his leg, opened the screw cap and poured the golden water from the bottle into his mouth in several gulps in a row.

“Hey, this is school. Send it to me to try.”

“That brat himself is very thorough.”

Two people had fun bantering with each other and handing each other bottles of liquor.

Somnuk got up from his chair and walked over to stand against the door, staring blankly at the front of the school. Then he walked out and disappeared in front of the school.

The mushroom arbor under the Malabar shade next to the school is the spot where Somnuek went to sit and light a cigarette and exhale a long stream of smoke.

“Hey, what are you thinking about?”

Donna shouted as she walked out of the classroom door with Cherd following behind.

Somnuek looked at his two friends and nodded for them to sit down next to him.

"Do you two think like me?"

“What do you think? What do you think? Please tell me and Chud to understand.”

“I am thinking that in a little while our Ban Don Phayom will be as chaotic and competing for benefits as nearby villages.

Aek and Cherd sat silently, not saying anything.

“Brün”

A large white pickup truck came and parked in front of the school near the mushroom arch where everyone was sitting and talking.

"Hey, come help me unload the car."

Elder Moo shouted as he opened the door to get out of the car and Lieutenant Supoj came down from the driver's side door.

“What is it, Dad?”

“It's school supplies and medical supplies.”

“Hello, Lieutenant.”

“Yes, hello everyone.”

For nearly an hour, everyone helped to carry all the equipment on the truck into the storage room in the school building.

“Today, I would like to return first. I have to go pick up the Permanent Secretary from the province to Bangkok.”

“Aren't you going to stop for food and drink first, Lieutenant?”

“No, adults. The Permanent Secretary will immediately contact the Department in Bangkok about requesting teachers and doctors to be stationed at Don Phayom.”

“Then please don't disobey me.”

“Thank you very much Lieutenant.”

Somnuk spoke to Mr. Supoj and smiled.

“Brün”

Lieutenant Supoj drove away from school. After a while, everyone dispersed and returned to their homes.

The next afternoon at Phu Yai Moo's house, Somnuk - Ek and Cherd were setting up a drinking circle in front of the house.

“Brün”

A white pickup truck parked in front of the house. Palad Niyom got out of the car along with Lieutenant Supoj. There were also two beautiful girls following down.

“Hello, Deputy Lieutenant.”

“Yes, hello, Somnuek – Ek – Cherd.”

“Are there any adults?”

"Father is on business at Uncle Sangwian's shop in the village. I'll go follow him."

Chud quickly rode off on his bike, leaving Somnuek and Ek to welcome the guests with cold water.

“What a beautiful person.”

Donna thought alone in her mind. His eyes looked at the two young women until they didn't blink.

Somnuk used his hand to nudge Ek's leg to be polite to the two beautiful female guests until Ek turned around shyly.

“Wait a moment, Permanent.”

"nevermind"

“Please make yourself comfortable, everyone.”

After a while, an adult Moo rode a bicycle into the house.

“Hello, Permanent Secretary.”

"Yes, hello, adults. Today I brought a doctor and a tutor."

“Good, the villagers and I are waiting.”

“This is Teacher Lanthom and Dr. Sucha.”

“Hello, adults.”

“Yes, hello.”

Ek sat and looked at the two girls distraught, especially when the deputy introduced them to them. Makes Ek remember each person very well. Because both girls are considered to be strikingly beautiful people. Teacher Lanthom cuts his hair to shoulder length. As for Dr. Sucha, his hair grows down to the middle of his back.

“Hello everyone.”

"yes"

Ek responded like a soldier until Lanthom and Sucha smiled at him.

“These two assholes are so stingy.”

Lanthom thought in his heart when he saw Somnuek and Cherd sitting idly.

“Tonight adults, I would like to stay at the adults' house for one night to be friends with Lanthom and Sucha.

“Congratulations, Permanent Secretary. My house is blocked and has neat rooms.”

“Can I go see the school and health department, seniors?”

“All right, doctor.”

Lieutenant Supoj drives a pickup truck to take everyone to the school.

“Wow, the weather and scenery are so beautiful.”

Teacher Lanthom spoke pleasantly and opened the door to the school building.

The school building and the health station, as well as all the equipment, are in order, much to the liking of the two girls.

"How are you? Are you ready to start working?"

“Ready.”

Lanthom and Sucha answered the deputy together.

“Very good, tomorrow we start work.”

Evening at Phu Yai Moo's house Lanthom and Sucha are the cooks who prepare a delicious meal that is very pleasing to everyone, especially Ek who praises the two girls in front of them and receives thanks.

Rooms on the house It is a residence for two girls. As for the deputy and Lieutenant Supoj, they stayed in the room on the ground floor that was still vacant. The elder Moo and the young men slept in a large room next to the secretary's room.

“It's strange that the house is so big that there aren't any women.”

Lanthom talked softly with Sucha on the bed in the room.

“They probably have some reason. They will know for a long time.”

Sucha answered Lanthom and covered himself with a blanket and closed his eyes. Then they both fell asleep, exhausted from traveling during the day.

The next morning, Don Phayom villagers brought their children to school on the date and time that had been arranged with the elder Moo.

“I, as a representative from the country, promise to come often to take care of the school and Ban Don Phayom Health Station.”

“Nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

The bell in front of the school rang as a signal. After class ended in the evening, the students walked back to the village, all happily chatting and teasing each other. Everyone's bookbags were slung over the backs of bare feet, stomping across the dirt road.

The Permanent Secretary made a promise to all the villagers in front of the school until they received a round of applause in response.

“I would like to leave Teacher Lanthom and Doctor Sucha with you to think that they are descendants of Ban Don Phayom.”

Teacher Lanthom and Doctor Sucha who were standing behind the Permanent raised their hands to pay respects to the villagers when the Permanent finished speaking.

“Nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

The sound of the brass bell hanging near the flagpole in front of the building rang. Everyone turned to see Elder Pig ringing the bell with a smile.

"Oh, the children are ready to go to class quickly."

Elder Pig finished speaking and the children standing in line hurriedly walked into the classroom and sat on chairs.

Teacher Lanthom and Doctor Sucha followed the children into the classroom.

“How many adults are there in total?”

The deputy asked the adult standing in front of the room.

“Thirty people are enough.”

"Very good. Is there anything else that's stuck?"

"do not have"

The deputy stood and watched the children sitting on the chairs, listening intently to the explanations and introductions from the two female teachers.

"There probably won't be any problems, Lanthom - Sucha."

"No"

“Then Father and Lieutenant Supoj must return before having government work. Then I will come and visit often.”

"thank you very much"

The deputy talked with the elder Moo for a while and then headed back.

In just one week, Lanthom and Sucha got to know the children and villagers of Don Phayom very well. The two are still staying at the home of Phu Yai Moo.

“What are you standing there looking at, teacher?”

Somnuk, who walked out from the back of the school, asked Teacher Lanthom who was standing at the flagpole in front of the school watching the children until she turned around.

“The children are having fun.”

“Are you bored of Ban Don Phayom?”

“Not bored”

Teacher Lanthom walked to sit at the mushroom booth nearby. Somnuk followed along and sat and talked as a friend. While Teacher Lanthom watched Dr. Sucha walk out of the health building. A cherub walked beside him.

“Where should we go after school this evening?”

Lanthom asked Sucha who had walked up to the mushroom arch where he was sitting.

“We still don't know.”

“Would you like to go to my house?”

The two girls looked at each other in unison.

"I think it's good too. I've been here for so many days and I've never taken teachers and doctors on a trip to get to know each other."

“That's good, then let's go.”

Lanthom responded immediately.

Lanthom sat on the back of Somnuk's bicycle. Sucha sat on the back of Cherd's bicycle.

Along the way, there were herds of cows and villagers heading home. After working hard all day Many villagers greeted Lanthom and Sucha with admiration and affection.

Many times the two bicycles staggered and fell while avoiding the cows. Lanthom and Sucha, who were sitting cross-legged on the rear rack, were so startled that they wrapped their arms around the waist of the young man they were sitting behind.

"I'm sorry I hugged you."

Lanthom spoke softly to Somnuek.

"It's okay. It's for safety's sake."

Just the first touch made Lanthom feel warm and safe, so he hugged Somnuek's waist and refused to let go. Somnuk also felt that the touch of the woman hugging his waist was soft and there was a lingering scent of the woman's body that came into contact with him.

“Don't think too much, we're ordinary country people.”

Somnuek thought in his mind and continued cycling.

Sucha also had a strange feeling from touching Cherd's body.

As for Cherdkong, he rode his bicycle after Somnuek until they caught up with him without any feelings because it was time to drink.

“Is it far?”

"It's not far. You can see the rooftops of houses on the edge of the field over there."

Somnuek answered Lanthom then turned around and smiled at him.

"Are you tired? Sucha can change sometimes."

Sucha said while riding a bicycle.

"It's okay. You can change it on the way back."

The two bicycles were parked in front of the gate of the house.

“The house is very nice.”

"Thank you. Let's go into the house first."

Lanthom walked next to Somnuek, who was walking with a bicycle. Sucha walked behind the doll, who pursed his lips like he was hungry.

“It's time for a drink, isn't it?”

Sucha asked Cherd, looking into his eyes.

“Sit first, everyone.”

Lanthom and Sucha sat on a mat in the basement of Somnuek's house, walked into the kitchen and filled a large brass bowl with water from a jar to welcome them.

Cherd walked closer to the bamboo grove behind the house and bent over for a while, then took the bamboo tube and came back to sit on the mat with everyone.

“The white water is starting to form.”

He lifted the cylinder in his hand and drank several gulps and handed it to Somnuek.

“White water is not suitable for women.”

Cherd spoke to Lanthom and Sucha who were watching while wiping their mouths with their hands.

“Whenever you come to my house, I want to treat you to a meal.”

Somnuk finished speaking and walked into the kitchen.

“I would like to volunteer to be a cook.”

Lanthom spoke softly as he followed Somnuek.

Suchal got up and walked closer to the bamboo grove, turning to look towards the edge of the field where the roof of the temple pavilion could be seen nearby while still holding a white water bottle in his hand.

“How many monks are there at the temple?”

“Many of them.”

“Should we go pay respects to Luang Phor this Saturday?”

“OK.”

"eat rice"

Somnuek shouted for him to eat. Cherd and Sucha hurriedly walked into the house.

“What is there to eat, talented cook?”

Sucha asked while sitting at the food circle set up on a mat. Somnuk and Lanthom were already sitting and waiting.

“Boiled eggs, fried eggs, omelet, steamed eggs.”

Lanthom told me the name of the dish on the plate in front of him.

“At home there are only eggs.”

Somnuek spoke up shyly.

“Wow, so delicious.”

Cheed spoke correctly as he scooped steamed eggs into his mouth and chewed them slowly.

Everyone sat and ate in silence. Many times Somnuek put rice on plates for Lanthom and Sucha until they received thanks and smiles.

After finishing their meal, Somnuek and Cherd sat on a mat smoking a cigarette.

“I think, I look at Teacher Lanthom, she is beautiful too.”

“Dammit, he's a teacher. As for me, I'm just a country boy.”

“Do you like her yourself?”

Somnuk turned to look at Lanthom who was in the kitchen, flicking the cigarette butt in his hand on the floor.

“She probably has a boyfriend.”

"What if I don't have a boyfriend yet?"

"Don't be shy, don't talk about impossible things."

Lanthom and Sucha walked over and sat in the group.

“Eating this meal is very delicious.”

Lanthom said in a good mood and smiled at Somnuek. Cherd saw Lanthom's condition and quickly winked at his dear friend.

"If you have free time, please come visit here every day. I think he's alone. I'm afraid he'll think too much."

Lanthom looked at him with a raised face and then turned to look at Somnuek who was still sitting there, refusing to speak.

“It's good, it's free in the evening.”

"However, we can be friends."

Sucha said, smiling, looking at Lanthom who was sitting beside him with a red face.

“Today is very cold and the teacher probably needs to rest.”

Somnuk said then got up and walked out in front of the house. Everyone followed. Then the two girls sat on the back of Somnuek and Cherdklap's bicycles.

The next evening, after school, Somnuek and Cherd rode their bicycles and took Lanthom and Sucha to visit Aek at the shop. It was found that many customers were purchasing items for daily use.

“Please take a seat, teacher.”

Donna invited and used a tablecloth.

“It's selling well, Ek.”

“Thank you very much, teacher.”

Many villagers who had seen the two girls at school greeted and chatted among themselves. Sangwan and Ek's mother and father came to greet Lanthom and Sucha with smiling faces.

“Does the teacher have anything special to do today?”

Donna asked, moving her chair closer.

“I just came to visit and get to know the shop.”

Sucha said and picked up the glass of cold orange juice in front of him and took a sip.

Lanthom lifted his watch and looked at it, it said 4:00 p.m.

“Should we go pay respects to the monk at the temple?”

"Good, teacher. I'm about to deliver things to the temple."

Ek finished speaking and walked into the back of the store shortly after, carrying a large basket full of many things.

“The Father ordered it this morning.”

Three bicycles left Ek's shop and headed towards the temple not far away.

Ek rode his partner's bicycle behind Somnuek and Cherd, with a large basket sitting on the front rack.

“Why do you want to go to the temple in the evening?”

Somnuk turned to ask Lanthom who was sitting on the back of the bicycle.

“In the evening, Luang Phor Kong is free. Then it was time for the lanterns to be free.”

Lanthom finished speaking and used his right hand to gently twist Somnuk's waist in a friendly manner.

The three bicycles came to a stop in front of the monk's residence, which was built into a one-story brick building. The monk sat comfortably chewing betel nut on a reclining bed in the summer residence in front of the monk's residence.

"Worship the Father"

"Oh, everyone, please sit down first. Make yourself comfortable."

Everyone kneels and bows down to the Father. Then they sat down together in silence.

“What do you say, Somnuek Cherd Ek?”

“We took Teacher Lanthom with Dr. Sucha. who just moved to our village Come pay respects to Luang Phor.”

Reverend Father looked at Somnuk who was sitting with his hands clasped together.

“Are the two of you here okay?”

"I'm fine, Father."

Sucha replied as he raised his hands together.

“Ched, do you still like to drink?”

“I only drink in the evening after work. But now I'm reducing it because I have to take care of Dr. Sucha."

Cherd answered Luang Phor and then turned to look into the eyes of Dr. Sucha who was already watching.

“Just in case, I brought the supplies that Father ordered.”

"Thank you very much, Donna. Do you now help your father and mother sell things at the shop?"

Lanthom sat and looked at the sixty-year-old monk, a chubby white-yellow figure with a face full of kindness, sitting comfortably chewing betel nuts on the bed, reclining. The atmosphere is cool and comfortable from the gentle breeze blowing across the fields. The entire area of ​​the temple is quiet with two or three small monasteries growing next to the monk's monastery.

There is a large one-story sermon hall that stands proudly across from Luang Phor's residence. There is a large courtyard which is a space for holding events for the villagers.

“The temple doesn't have a chapel yet. But it's shady and pleasant.

Lan Thom thought in his mind.

“This is still a small countryside temple, but it's shady and nice to live in.”

The monk spoke and looked at Lanthom like he could read his mind.

“How many monks are there, Luang Phor?”

Dr. Sucha asked.

There were six of them, but now there's only one left. The rest went to invite the wedding ceremony at that Dong Mamuang house.”

For a long time the Father sat and answered questions for Teacher Lanthom and Doctor Sucha until they were familiar with the Father and everyone asked to leave.

The three bicycles followed each other out of the temple.

“When you go to the temple, where do you go next?”

Somnuk turned and asked Lanthom who was sitting there complaining about the rear rack but there was no answer from the young teacher. There was probably only a smile.

“It's better to go have a drink at your house.”

Ek heard Somnuek's question and rode his bicycle up in tandem and spoke with a smile.

“What did Luang Phor just train you to do?”

Sucha turned to speak to Ek and made fierce eyes.

“Come on, friend, we have now left the temple. And I have many supplies from home.”

Donna said with a kiss on her lips.

“Take it and go.”

Cherd, who rides a bicycle, immediately agrees.

The three bicycles turned at the three-way intersection leading from the temple towards Somnuk's house.

“Is it tiring to ride a bicycle every day?”

Lanthom asked Somnuek softly.

“It has happened before.”

“Would it be more comfortable if I had a motor to drive it?”

“Gasoline is expensive, you have to fill up with gas.”

“Nowadays it has to be fast and modern, Brother Tid.”

Lanthom spoke to Somnuk in a friendly manner.

Then the harvest time for Don Phayom villagers has arrived for every family. They harvest rice in their fields and tie it into sheaves and carry it up to thresh in the village's threshing yard, which is a large yard near the school.

In just one week, many large piles of rice sheaves had filled the field. There was still plenty of space left for the rice sheaves that were about to come up from the rice fields.

After letting the students eat their lunch Shiangthom and Sucha were sitting and eating in the school kitchen.

“The Don Phayom villagers are very good at farming and growing a lot of rice.”

Lanthom turned his gaze towards the pile of rice at Sucha's words. I also saw the elders Moo, Somnuk, Cherd and Ek helping the villagers organize piles of rice and counting the number of each pile.

“And how did you feel when you moved to Don Phayom?”

Lanthom asked his best friend while staring into his eyes.

“It feels good.”

"No, we're talking about my ex-boyfriend who was a police officer and then ran away and had a wife."

"We've forgotten him. Now I'd rather just rest and be alone."

“Is that true, friend? And what about the young man standing near his father in the rice terrace over there?”

"I don't know."

Lanthom jokes with his female friend knowingly because they have been together for many years.

“And what about you, young female teacher, have you ever been in love with any man?”

"never"

"What about Somnuek? Yesterday he sat on the back of a bicycle, hugging each other's waists and refusing to let go."

There was no answer from Lanthom. He could only scoop rice into a plate and put it in his mouth to chew calmly. He also scooped fried eggs into a rice plate for Dr. Sucha, his friend.

After filling up on rice, the two walked to the rice terraces, each carrying a large thermos of cold water in their hands.

The midday sun was not hot and there was a gentle wind blowing from the edge of the field causing the two girls' hair to flutter with the wind. Their soft, white, watery faces helped to make their faces look both naturally beautiful. The eyes and untrimmed eyebrows were pure and beautiful.

“Everyone, let's drink cold water first.”

Many villagers came to receive a water bottle from Sucha, while Lanthom went to hand the water bottle to Elder Moo and Somnuk Cherd and Ek thirstily drank water.

“Thank you very much.”

"It's okay, Uncle Elder."

Sucha responded to Elder Moo's words, but his eyes looked back at Cherd, who was using a loincloth to wipe the sweat on his face.

“Is this much rice able to be threshed, Uncle?”

Lanthom asked as the pig elder used the hat in his hand to wave it back and forth.

“Tomorrow the owner of the mill in the province will bring the machine to service the mill.”

“Does he give you a good price, uncle?”

“Then it goes up. Go down and follow it into the market.”

While Lanthom was sitting and talking with the elders, Moo Sucha walked to sit near Cherd who was raising a glass of cold water to drink. Many villagers sat and rested under the shade of a large neem tree.

It was almost 1 p.m. Lanthom and Sucha walked back to the school to prepare to teach the children in the afternoon. All the villagers and the elders took a break to eat lunch, which many housewives walked in from the village on leashes.

Late the next day, two large trucks with a threshing machine came and parked in the rice field. After a while, the threshing machine's engine rumbled loudly and the straw that had been ejected from the machine's pipe floated into the air. It piled up on the edge of the threshed rice field and flowed up the machine's tracks and fell into the pickup truck parked next to the threshing machine.

At five o'clock the engine shut down and all the rice sheaves on the field ran out.

Both trucks were full of paddy pools.

“This year I feel like the rice will have good weight.”

Boss Seng was a tall, white man in his sixties who spoke with a Chinese accent to Elder Pig.

“Is it finished yet, Uncle Hom?”

Boss Zeng asked his twenty-five year old son who was watching the driver cover the canvases of the two rice trucks.

“Finished, Tia.”

Kissing the son of Master Zeng, he walked over to where Elder Moo was standing.

Meanwhile, Lanthom and Sucha, who had just finished work at school, walked in where the three people were standing and talking.

"Oh teacher, has school finished yet? Are you the boss of Seng and Hom who are our regular rice buyers?"

Elder Moo spoke and introduced.

“Hello, boss, Khun Hom.”

The two raised their hands to pay respects to Master Seng and Hom.

“Yes, hello.”

"This is Teacher Lanthom and Doctor Sucha who just moved to be stationed here."

"How is Ban Don Phayom? Is it a good place to live, teacher?"

“It's nice to live in, boss.”

Hom stood and stared at Lanthom in rapture for the first time. His heart was pounding harder every day. In my past life, I have been with quite a few beautiful women, but I have never been honest with anyone. They stayed in contact and had a relationship for a short time, and each of them broke up.

“This woman is beautiful.”

Hom thought in his heart as he looked at Lanthom's face.

“Is there anything I can help you with, Teacher?”

"No"

Boss Seng stood and talked with Elder Moo for a long time until he saw his subordinates finishing up the rice truck, so he invited Hom to get in the truck.

“Brün”

The rice truck's engine roared as it slowly walked out of the rice field.

“When will Tia come to thresh rice at Don Phayom again?”

Hom asked his father as the car drove out of Don Phayom's house.

"Why don't you tell me that you like Teacher Lanthom?"

“That's right, I would like to come here and thresh the rice myself.”

“Alright, then come tomorrow and thresh the remaining rice.”

“Yes, Tia.”

After his father, Master Seng, allowed him to thresh rice at Don Phayom. Hom sat smiling all the way like a child who got a toy he liked.

The next day, in the afternoon, Hom and two trucks arrived at the Ban Don Phayom rice field near the school. They met with Phuman Mo and many other villagers. The engine of the rice threshing truck that had been parked since yesterday was broken. Loudly, rice grains began to flow into the pickup truck parked next to the threshing machine.

“During this time, I will come alone to thresh rice at Don Phayom because my uncle went to Bangkok to see the new rice milling machine that I would like to buy for use in the mill.”

"It's okay, I'll tell you if there's something wrong."

“Then now, I would like to walk to see the school.”

“Oh, please feel free.”

Hom walked straight to a nearby school, leaving his subordinates to thresh rice alone.

As he walked into the school area from the back, he heard the sound of students reading along with Teacher Lanthom, so he walked around and sat at the mushroom booth in front of the school.

“In fact, the weather here is very good.”

Hom muttered in his heart alone then took out a cigarette and lit it.

“Smoking is harmful to health.”

I looked towards the sanitary behind me and saw Dr. Sucha walking in and sitting down in front of me, smelling good.

“Yes, I am in charge of a rice truck. So I walked to visit. The weather here is very cool.”

Hom finished speaking and turned to look towards the school building where Teacher Lanthom was teaching. Just by looking at Hom's expression as he looked at Sucha's female friend, he could tell that Hom was looking at his female friend like a normal young man and young woman.

"Do you have a sweetheart"

Sucha's question made Hom turn to look at her and smile, then flick the cigarette in his hand onto the ground.

“Not yet.”

“And when will I have it or not? I haven't found my soulmate yet.”

“Now I want to have one too, my soul mate has been found.”

“Can you tell me who you are and where you are?”

"That's teaching children."

Hom's words made Sucha smile and shake her head.

“And have you ever asked Lanthom if he has anyone in his heart?”

“I never asked, but I thought that the owner's son had lost his life and had a lot of money. The girls already wanted to join their lives.”

"Cha, Khun Hom has misjudged Lanthom. He is an idealistic person. Money is meaningless to this friend of Cha."

“Right now, both of you are single and your hearts are free, right?”

“Yes, we are both single, but our hearts are no longer free. There was also a young man from Don Phayom who was a good person.

sight"

“Can you tell me who he is?”

“You have to investigate this yourself.”

“What are you talking about?”

Lanthom said as he walked out of the school building towards where Hom and Sucha were talking.

“Today I came to visit the school.”

“And how is it at school?”

"It's good. Everything is decorated and decorated just right."

“Thank you for watching this. Lan Thom and Sucha must thank Uncle Phu Yai and all the villagers of Don Phayom who have

participation”

“There are also Khun Somnuk, Ek and Cherd, three others.”

Sucha spoke up until Hom looked at him with suspicion.

“It must be these three guys who are flirting with these two girls,” Hom thought to himself but pretended to just sit there and not say anything. until the sound of the rice threshing machine is quiet

“Today I have to leave first. I feel like my subordinates are finished threshing the rice.”

“If you're free, you're welcome. Sucha and Lanthom welcome you.”

Hom walked out of the school and back to the thresher. Lanthom and Sucha looked back and the two girls turned and smiled at each other.

“In this case, I suspect someone must be the daughter-in-law of the mill owner.”

Sucha said with a smile and looked at his dear friend's face.

"But it's definitely not this Lan Thom because I don't have a crush on this Lan Thom."

“And who is the one who is destined to be handsome or not?”

There was no answer from Lan Thom.

The two girls sat and talked at the mushroom booth until the two rice trucks passed in front of the school. He waved his hand at the two girls.

Chapter 3

Three months passed when Lanthom and Sucha came to work at Ban Don Phayom School. Children can read and write. Every villager and family has a healthy lifestyle. In the village's public merit-making event Sucha and Lanthom will always be there to help, making all the villagers love and trust them. Moreover, the love of the two girls blossoms every day, especially when Lanthom comes to help Somnuk grow vegetables at the weekend.

Today is the same, which is Saturday and school is closed. Somnuek rode his bicycle to pick up Lanthom from Phu Yai Moo's house. came to his house early in the morning To help take care of the morning glory plot growing in the field next to the house to be used as lunch for students at school on the first day of school.

The two young men worked together to quietly pluck grass from the morning glory plot. Often, Somnuk looked up at the Lanthom sitting in front of him.

“Is there something you see often?”

“I feel sorry for you and see that she is a beautiful woman but has returned to huddle herself in the rice fields.”

“It's honest work and I like it.”

“Aren't you thinking of going back home to visit relatives?”

"No, in this life there are only P'Suphot and Sucha and Palad Niyom."

“What about Lanthom's father, mother, and siblings?”

“No, the three of us are orphans that the Permanent Secretary took in from the orphanage.”

Somnuek looked at Lanthom's face as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

“Our lives are orphaned in the same way.”

"Are you feeling crazy about it?"

There was a shout coming from the front door of the house. Somnuek looked and saw Khed, Ek, and Sucha standing.

“Let's take a vacation first.”

"Oh, there you are."

Somnuk responded and led Lanthom back to the house.

“What are you doing, teacher?”

Sucha asked his best friend and smiled.

“I'm pulling grass in the morning glory field.”

Everyone sat on mats under the house.

“I think about your house, it's getting farther away every day.”

Aek said as he used a loincloth to wipe away the sweat on his face.

"You rode your bike alone and pretended to complain. Look at that guy. Even though he had Dr. Sucha riding in the back, I didn't see him complaining at all."

“Well, it has its own encouragement. I think we should buy a motorcycle and drive.”

Ek's words caused everyone to look at each other in silence.

"That's a good idea, I agree."

Somnuk agrees with Ek's idea.

“So, tomorrow morning, let's take a minibus and go look at the motorcycles in the province. How are they?”

Everyone had the same idea as Somnuek and was ready to enter the province the next day.

“Brün”

A red closed-up car came to a stop in front of the gate.

Elder Moo and the son of the boss, Seng, opened the door on the left and came out of the car.

"Are you thinking about it?"

"I'm here. Uncle, please come into the house first."

Another tall man with a bald head opened the door to the right and came out of the car.

Somnuek and all his friends walked up to greet the elders Moo and Hom and their subordinates at the front door.

“Dad, do you have any urgent business?”

Cherd asked his father with Sucha walking beside him.

“It smells good and I want to come see Lanthom.”

“Invite everyone into the house to drink water first.”

Somnuek led everyone into the house, sat on a mat under the house and brought a large bowl of cold water to welcome them.

“The area of ​​the house is cool and pleasant, so Teacher Lanthom likes to come to this house.”

Hom said and looked at Lanthom who was sitting nearby.

"Is there anyone around here who sells land? I'm going to buy and build a house where the weather is cool and comfortable in case Teacher Lanthom might come and visit my house."

"Khun Hom must have misunderstood something. I came to this house because I wanted to see the morning glory plot the students planted next to the house."

“If I ask you to come and ask. Will you agree with me? I am an impatient person and I have a lot of money. What do you say?”

. "I don't agree. I'm not thinking about marriage yet."

Lanthom's answer immediately made Hom's face tense, as if he had been humiliated.

Elder Pig himself was uncomfortable and embarrassed by the situation in front of him.

“We should probably talk.”

"It's okay, adults. I'll wait until Teacher Lanthom is relieved."

"Well Teacher Lanthom doesn't like you."

Donna, who had endured an itchy mouth for a long time, spoke up.

“I don't like it right now, but one day in the future you will definitely like me.”

"I think it's better for us to talk about light things so the atmosphere won't be stressful."

Hom moved his body closer to Lanthom but Lanthom moved away until he was stuck with Somnuk who sat silent the entire time.

“I really like you.”

“I think you smell good. Please think again.”

Finished speaking, Thom grabbed Sucha's hand and walked out towards the morning glory field next to the house, not paying attention to Hom's eyes following him.

"And what's good about you, Somnuek? Why does Lanthom like you?"

“Hey, don't assume that you're the son of Old Man Zeng and you'll talk arrogantly with people here.”

Ek, who was standing at the scene, spoke in displeasure, causing Hom to act more polite.

"Come on, Ek, talk slowly, friend."

"How do you say it slowly? I think it's flirting with your girlfriend."

"Alright, everyone, let's talk slowly."

Elder Pig said softly.

"Adults, I think now I want to go home. Hey, I'm going back."

Hom walked back to the car with his trusted subordinate.

“The price of rice next time is probably going to fall, adults.”

Hom turned and shouted before opening the door of the car that was warming up the engine.

“Brün”

The car sped away from the front door, causing dust to spread in a trail.

“Look, Dad, he picked you up from home and when he returned he didn't deliver him home.”

"It's okay, son. You can ride your bicycle back then."

Elder Pig walked around Somnuek's house where the weather was cool.

It had been many months since I had not come to this house and looked at Lanthom and Sucha who were bent over in the morning glory field next to the house and nodded slowly.

The next morning, Somnuek, Aek and Cherd boarded a minibus that ran from Ban Dong Mamuang at the beginning, heading into the province.

On the same evening, three young men each drove a brand new motorcycle back to Ban Don Phayom. Somnuk's items are red, Chet's items are grey, Ek's items are blue.

Many villagers gathered to look at the three motorcycles that had stopped to drink at Ek's shop.

“Father - Mother, is the blue hair car beautiful?”

"Oh, Dad, I think it's beautiful. It's probably more comfortable than riding a bicycle and withdrawing how much money from the bank."

“Don't be afraid, Dad, there's still a lot of money left in the account.”

It was almost dark when Somnuek and Cherd took him on a motorcycle and headed home. Found the group's elders - Lanthom and Sucha sitting in front of the house waiting.

“Brunch.”

The two motorcycles ran to a stop in front of the house and finished setting up the stand. Somnuek and Cherd walked staggeringly to sit near the elders Moo and Lanthom and Sucha.

“Is the car beautiful, Dad?”

"Oh, you're beautiful. If you're drunk like this, Dad, you'll definitely fall off the road. It's not like a bicycle, son."

“Drunk like this, will you drive me home?”

Lanthom asked Somnuk who was sitting next to him.

“I guarantee it will come home for sure.”

Somnuk answered Lanthom and then put his face in until he was close.

“Stinks of alcohol”

“Think about it, Uncle, is it a good idea to sleep here tonight?”

"I don't want it, Uncle. I'd rather go home and sleep."

Somnuek finished speaking and got up and walked over to the motorcycle and sat on top of the car. The motorcycle made a move about to fall and Thom followed and caught him in time.

“Uncle Lanthom would like to send Brother Somnuek home.”

Everyone was silent, looking at each other as if asking each other's opinions on Lanthom's words.

. “Cha thinks Lanthom has the right idea.”

“If that's what you want.”

“Brün”

Lanthom started the engine and Somnuek sat in the back. He put the motorcycle into gear and twisted the accelerator and ran away from the front of the house.

“Sit still or the car will crash.”

Lanthom turned to tell Somnuek who was sitting staggered on the seat behind him. Somnuk still sat staggered as usual, unable to bear it any longer. Lanthom grabbed Somnuek's hand and made him hug his waist. Somnuk's body then rested on Lanthom's back.

The car drove through a rough road until it came to a stop under a dark and quiet house. Somnuek was still asleep on Lanthom's back.

“Woke up and got home.”

Shaking and calling, but Somnuek refused to wake up. Lanthom then carried him to sleep on a nearby mat.

Neon lights were on all around. The house was quiet and there was a gentle breeze blowing from the edge of the field.

A handkerchief moistened with water was wiped over Somnuek's face, arms, and everything.

Lanthom walked over and closed the door, picked up a nearby coconut husk and put it under the base near the litter, then reached into his bag and took out a lighter from Somnuk's shirt pocket.

Smoke from coconut husks lingers throughout the area under the house.

“What kind of person is scary at home but can live alone?”

Lanthambon muttered to himself and sat on a small chair near the litter.

The late night air started to get cold, causing Somnuek to feel parched and thirsty. When he opened his eyes, he smelled smoke from the coconut husks. He turned to his side and saw Lanthom collapsed asleep next to the mat. He sat up and shook his head a few times, picked up the water bowl next to him and drank thirstily, then got off the mat and disappeared up to the main house and walked back down.

“Screeching loudly.”

Somnuk called softly and poked Lanthom's arm until he woke up.

“It's very late now, so let's go upstairs and sleep.”

“Lanthom would like to go back and sleep at the elder's house.”

"Don't be stubborn, I guarantee your safety. Go quickly."

Somnuk finished speaking and grabbed Lanthom's wrist. Walked up the stairs to the house.

The bedroom door in the house was open, neon lights were shining brightly, four windows were open and a cool breeze was blowing in. The bed had a mosquito net set up.

“This room is where we will meet tomorrow morning.”

Somnuek finished speaking and walked out of the room. Lanthom walked over and closed the door, bolted it, and went into the mosquito net to sleep.

The air near light was cool, but Lanthom felt like he needed to go to the bathroom, so he got up from his bed and opened the door to his room and went downstairs. He saw Somnuek sleeping on a mat in the basement of the house, so he walked to the nearby bathroom.

“What kind of person can sleep with mosquitoes and still sleep with no clothes on?”

Lanthom came out of the bathroom and walked over to use the large blanket that was on the bed for Somnuek.

The watch on his wrist read six o'clock in the morning, and the aurora borealis was beginning to glow faintly on the eastern horizon. Crows are seen flying away, crying out. The sound of a rooster crowing could be heard from the village.

Collecting the mosquito net and folding the blankets on the bed, he walked downstairs into the kitchen.

After a while, the rice porridge in the pot was cooked. Including the fragrant omelet, Somnuek opened his eyes.

"Oh, who did this to Chao Hom? It's so fragrant."

Looking into the kitchen, he saw Lantom in the kitchen, so he got up from the mat to wash his face, then walked into the kitchen.

“What food do you make that smells so good?”

"It's mainly eggs."

"A single man's house is like this. In the kitchen there are only eggs and rice."

“Then let's go eat.”

The two sat and ate quietly in the back of the house until they were full.

Lanthom feels comfortable and is attracted to Somnuek. Moreover, the area of ​​the house is shady and pleasant to live in.

“Come and sleep over at my house like this, aren't you afraid that someone will misunderstand you?”

There was no answer from Lanthom, but he smiled and walked slowly towards Somnuek's face. Their eyes stared at each other silently.

“Lanthom has grown up and there was no damage last night.”

The two stood staring at each other in silence, then Somnuek pulled Lanthom's body into his arms without any resistance.

Lanthom had a strange feeling, the blood in his body was pumping stronger than usual, and he used his arms to wrap around Somnuk's waist as well.

"Let's release it first, or someone will see it."

“Whoever will see us is just the two of us.”

Somnuk agreed to release Lanthom's body from his arms.

“Wait!”

There was the sound of a motorcycle coming in front of the Rua gate until we saw Cherd drive a motorcycle and park in front of the Rua gate with Sucha sitting on the back.

"Imagine opening the door for me."

Somnuk walked towards the gate with a loud bang.

“Did you get drunk last night and send him a thank you note?”

"Well, we don't have to ask to go into the house first."

Sucha and Lanthom sat talking alone in the basement of the house. Somnuek and Cherd walked out into the middle of the rice field behind the house.

"I think last night I spent the night at your house alone, alone. Did you do anything to her?"

“What I was going to do was get drunk and sleep on a mat under the house until it was light, and I made him sleep in a room on top of the house.”

Cherd didn't ask any more questions.

Meanwhile, Sucha and Lanthom were sitting and talking.

“Last night, sleeping here alone with Somnuek, did something happen?”

“Everything is normal, there is nothing. We slept in a room upstairs in the house, while Somnuek was drunk and slept on a mat here until it was light.”

“And what do you think Somnuek is like?”

“Being a gentleman, not taking any chances, to be honest, right now our hearts are beginning to sympathize with the young orphan. Ban Don Phayom, this person."

Sucha herself told Lanthom that she liked Ban Don Phayom but remained stubborn and refused to tell her best friend that she liked Cheed. Lanthom could only smile with his dear friend.

The ten o'clock sun was shining down. Somnuk and Cherd were about to walk back into the house when their eyes saw a Buddhist monk walking with acid cutting through the middle of the field, coming towards them.

"Hey, cheer on Phra Thudong"

"Oh, I saw it. What do you think?"

“I think we should offer you a meal.”

Until the monk walked into the place where he stood. It could be seen that he was about fifty years old. Carrying acid on his shoulder, carrying an alms bowl, carrying a kettle, wearing no shoes, eyes and a face that were kind-hearted.

“Reverend Father, I would like to invite you to offer a meal.”

The monk stood still and said nothing, turning to look around slowly and composedly.

“Who owns that house over there?”

“It's me.”

"OK, I'm here to stay in the shade of the bamboo grove next to the house."

Somnuek ran back into the house and carried a large mat out to spread under the shade of bamboo for the pilgrim to sit on.

For a long time, Somnuk sat with the monk on a pilgrimage all the time. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and silent as if he was chanting mantras in his mind.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

The sound of the drums from the temple at the end of the village could be heard along with Sucha. Lanthom and Cherd were helping to carry food out of the house. The food was placed on the mat in front of the monk who was still sitting quietly with his eyes closed. Everyone sat quietly.

Both of their eyes opened slowly.

“Yom is in trouble.”

The monk spoke softly.

“I think Luang Phor Chan will play first.”

Everyone helped prepare plates of rice and bowls of water.

“Pad”

A motorcycle came to a stop under the house. Everyone turned to see Ek carrying a basket and standing next to the motorcycle, looking at them.

Raise your hand and beckon to your dear friend.

Ek walked in and saw his friends offering lunch to the pilgrims so he took out a chilled bottle of soda.

From the basket, open the lid and give it to Luang Phor

Just a few spoonfuls of the food in front of him, put it in his mouth, chew slowly and composedly, then lift the soda bottle and suck it. Just one sip and he is done praying blessings to everyone.

“Come closer to me, please.”

Somnuk moved to sit closer with his hands clasped in front of the monk.

“You are being harmed in the house and do not have any pets to keep you company in times of need.”

“Here, put it on the shelf. Prepare a savory meal once a week and the enemy will be defeated.”

Somnuk opened his hand and received a red cloth talisman with some objects wrapped inside.

“What is the monk inside wrapped in cloth?”

The Reverend looked at the face of the principal who had asked with a blank expression.

“The tiger's nose has miraculous powers. I myself received it from the Master. I've carried it with me for decades.”

“So what do I want to do?”

“I put it on the shelf as my aunt suggested. Sometimes you might see the true nature of the pattern. Don't be alarmed. It won't harm anyone. Besides bad people When this misfortune is over, this thing will return to me.”

Somnuk bowed down to the monk while holding the wrapped amulet in his hand. His thoughts were confused by the monk's words, but something inspired him to accept the wrapped amulet from the monk.

“And me and my friends Don't you have some good things to keep with you?"

Donna said as she moved closer to Father.

The lid of the alms bowl was opened and some objects were held in his hands.

“Oh, come in together and hold out your hands.”

The monk placed a small silver takrud on everyone's palm, starting from Somnuk until Sucha was the last.

“It is time for me to travel. Don't forget to call it Ai Lai.”

The monk walked across the edge of the field, heading towards Ban Dong Mamuang, next to Ban Don Phayom, until his body disappeared out of sight into the trees.

Chapter 4

Somnuk wrapped a red cloth amulet and placed it on a shelf in the house.

It had been several days since Lanthom had not come to visit Somnuek's house. After plucking all the morning glory from the plot next to the house In the evening, I still have work to help Sucha out to inspect the cooking of the villagers to see if it is according to hygiene standards or not. Somnuk and Cherd volunteered to lead the two girls into the house according to a copy of the house registration.

“Uncle must maintain good health of everyone in the family and cook food thoroughly every time.”

“Yes, doctor.”

It was Sucha's advice to the middle-aged man I was inspecting for the last time today.

Sucha lifted up his watch and looked at it. It was exactly 7:00 p.m.

They all left the house and drove their motorcycles straight to Ek's house.

"Oh teacher and doctor, please take a seat before Ek goes to carry food with Chao quickly. I think we will go and help carry the food quickly."

Ek's father, Sangwan, said happily when he saw everyone coming to his house because this evening he had invited everyone to dinner as a social gathering.

"How are you, Doctor? Are you tired from work today?"

"I'm not tired, Uncle."

“Here comes the long bean curry with snakehead fish.”

Ek's mother brought a bowl of sour soup and put it on the table.

Many dishes were brought to the table and everyone sat and chatted happily. Many times Phum looked at Lanthom and Sucha's faces and smiled.

“Auntie, why are you looking at Cha and Lanthom's face and smiling?”

“I want to have a beautiful daughter-in-law with him.”

"Mom keeps saying I'm still single."

Ek finished speaking, picked up the glass of wine in his hand and poured the entire glass into his mouth in one go.

It was almost 8 p.m. and everyone asked to leave after sending Lanthom to Cherd's house. Somnuk drives his partner's motorcycle and heads home.

Park your motorcycle in front of the gate as the moonlight begins to shine. It keeps getting brighter. Park your motorcycle in the basement with neon lights. A bowl full of water was scooped out from the jar and he drank thirstily. The whole house fell into silence. The rustling of dry leaves next to the house sounded as if there was something under the shadow of the bamboo grove next to the house.

The bowl of water in his hand was slowly placed on the mat. Somnuk walked slowly out of the basement towards the shadow of the bamboo grove, curious.

"Crappy Krab"

The sound of dry bamboo leaves sounded several more times. Until standing near the dark shadow of a bamboo grove, there was a dark shadow on the ground nearby.

The light of the moon became brighter and brighter until it was beyond the shadow of the bamboo, causing Somnu to see a large striped tiger lying on the ground in front of them. Both eyes were red and the long tail swung and swept the dry bamboo leaves on the ground with a clanking sound.

Somnuk stood still in fear, looking at the large tiger crouching on the ground, both eyes staring hard at himself.

“Don't forget, if you meet the real one, you must call it Lai.”

The words of the monk entered his consciousness once again, causing Somnuk to gather his courage and compose himself.

“Ai Lai”

“Whoa!”

As soon as Somnuek called out softly, the large striped tiger that was lying there stood up and roared loudly and walked towards him so quickly that he had to take a step back. But with his speed and agility, Somnuk leaped until Somnuek used his body, his flanks touched Somnuek's legs, who stood stiffly.

A trembling, sweaty hand reached out and caressed the striped creature's large head. It looked tame and not aggressive.

Somnuek began to believe the words of the monk about this striped tiger.

“Take it easy, I'm going to bed.”

Somnuk finished speaking and Ai Lai walked away and disappeared into the shadows of the bamboo grove.

Since that night On moonlit nights, Somnuk would often meet with Ai Lai until they became close friends.

The fact that Somnuek likes to stay at home and doesn't come out to meet friends like before, causing everyone to be suspicious, especially Lanthom who misses wanting to be near Somnuek.

Today, after eating dinner, Lanthom asked to borrow Cherd's motorcycle to drive to Somnuek's house.

It was dusk and dusk, just in time for the loudspeaker to park his motorcycle in front of the gate. Open the door and take the motorcycle to park in the basement with Somnuek's things.

The whole house was dark and silent.

The moonlight began to shine, causing Lanthom to see a shadow as if there was a figure sitting under the shadow of a bamboo grove next to the house.

“This way”

A voice called from the shadows. Lanthom recognized that it was Somnuek's voice and walked towards it. As he got closer, he saw that Somnuek was sitting on a large mat leaning on a large log.

Somnuek pulled Lanthom's body into his arms.

“Sitting alone in the dark doing something. Nowadays, I rarely go looking for it.”

“Sitting with this lai?”

Somnuk took Lanthom's hand and stroked the fur of the lai lying next to him. Startling her, she quickly pulled her hand back.

“What one?”

“Tiger named Stripe”

“Whoa!”

Ai Lai growled and stood up and turned to smell Lanthom's body until he was frightened and hugged Somnuek tightly.

“What is this? Where did you raise the tiger and why didn't it harm you?”

“Lai is going to sleep somewhere else before going.”

As soon as Somnuek finished speaking, Lai walked slowly into the basement of the house and crouched next to the motorcycle.

“Are you going back tonight or staying here?”

“Sleeping here, not daring to return”

"Then I'd like to sleep with you as a friend."

Finished speaking, Somnuek carried Lanthom's trembling body up to the house and into the bedroom.

Somnuek placed Lanthom's body on the bed.

“Have you gotten over your fear yet?”

There was no answer from Lan Thom.

From touching each other's bodies, the two were unable to control their desires.

“Food”

Somnuek kissed Thom's cheek softly.

"I really love Lanthom and don't want to take advantage of you. But if you think I'm taking advantage or taking an opportunity, I'll let you sleep in this room alone."

Somnuek moved his body to get off the bed, but Lanthom held Somnuek around his neck and refused to let go. Both eyes stared unblinking.

Both of Somnuk's hands began to caress and caress Lanthom's body. The large shape sways up and down with the rhythm of breathing.

Both of their clothes were completely removed and Lanthom's naked body was touched and sniffed until he mumbled incoherently several times as Lanthom arched his chest up and hugged Somnuk's body that was on top of him.

A gentle breeze blew in through the open window. Then their bodies stopped moving and they lay together and finally fell asleep.

It was close to light and the air was cool and the wind was still blowing softly. Everyone felt like they wanted to go to the bathroom next to the kitchen downstairs.

“Darling, let me be your friend and take me to the bathroom.”

Lanthom whispered into the ear of the sleeping Somnuek and kissed Somnuek on the cheek.

Dressed neatly, Somnuek walked in front of him down the stairs, with Lanthom walking tightly on his arm, turning his head to look around as if he was looking for something.

The neon lights turned on and two motorcycles were still parked in the same place.

“Where is Lai?”

"I'm not here. Go back to sleep."

Finished going to the bathroom, Somnuk took Lanthom back to the house to sleep until the morning light.

Shaky, driving a motorbike from home early in the morning. There was Somnuk driving a motorbike nearby.

Somnuek and his friends bought a motorcycle and drove it for a few days. Many other families also went into town to buy and drive.

Then the school break period arrived. Lanthom and Sucha traveled to report past work results to Palad Niyom.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Somnuk sat alone in the basement of his house. My eyes looked at the road with trucks full of rice coming out of Ban Dong Mamuang, a village next to Ban Don Phayom. Then some thoughts occurred.

"Adults are fulfilled"

Somnuek muttered to himself and started his motorcycle and drove away from the house. When he reached the intersection, he turned right onto the road and drove straight towards Ban Dong Mamuang.

While driving a motorcycle, memories from five years ago once again surfaced in Somnuek's consciousness. At that time, I was ready to show off. Ek and Phuyai Somwang They all went to study in the province until they had the opportunity to get to know each other intimately. When everyone graduated from high school There was no one to study further. Phuyai Somwang has a good opportunity from Dong Mamuang villagers to be elected as village headman in place of her father who was secretly shot and killed by a mysterious gunman along with her mother.

For nearly ten minutes, Somnuk drove his motorcycle along the road until the vehicle ran into the Ban Tong Mamuang area. On both sides of the road, rice fields were growing with golden ears ready to be harvested. Many villagers were walking on the rice fields and turned to look at Somnuek. Many motorcycles were driving in opposite directions. There are many large Thai houses built near the road.

The car passes through a large square on the left. A large clump of straw is located near a large Thai-style house growing in an area of ​​approximately one rai. There is a fence made of bamboo rods. There are several large houses growing near the fence. It's near the yard with the haystacks.

Somnuk parked his motorcycle in front of the open gate.

“Are there any adults?”

"Who's there? Come in."

There was a curt female voice speaking from inside the house.

Somnuek parked his motorcycle in front of the gate and walked to the ylang-ylang booth in front of the house. He sat down on the marble horse and looked around.

“She still decorates the house as usual, Somwang.”

Somnuk spoke softly to himself and turned to look at the house, which had a brick basement with wrought iron windows all around.

“Who is coming?”

A young woman about twenty years of age A chubby figure with rather dark skin, hair down to the middle of his back, wearing pants and a black long-sleeved shirt walked out of the house carrying a bowl of water.

“Somnuk”

Elder Somwang said, happy to see Somnuek.

"Oh, let's drink water first."

“Thank you very much.”

Then the hearts of the two of them talked intimately. The adult Somwang sat and pressed his body until it was next to Somnuek's body.

“Being a village headman must have a lot of work.”

"There's quite a bit. We're still single these days."

Somwang said, bringing his face closer to Somnuek.

“Why does no one dare to flirt?”

"I have it but I don't care about waiting for you."

There were no words from Somnuek's mouth. Probably just sat there.

“Just kidding, you know that we hang out like friends. And Cherd and Ek didn't come with them?”

“We escaped it.”

“So when you came back from the military, what did you think you were going to do?”

“I think I will do farming.”

“Good, right now the price of rice is good.”

"Isn't it true? If you see the boss sell it for a cheap price, you'll die."

Somwang looked at Somnuek suspiciously.

“Whoever tells you to sell rice to the boss, he will lower the price and he will die. Now we and the Dong Mango villagers sell rice to the mills in that town at a good price. Today I sent one.”

“Can you contact and sell to Don Phayom villagers?”

“Alright, we have trucks.

"agree"

There were many matters that the two discussed and confided in each other like friends who knew each other.

It was close to evening. Many male and female villagers walked into the house carrying dinner and formed a circle to eat with the Somwang elders who everyone loved and respected and believed in. There will be villagers coming together for dinner every day. Even adults will be around the same age as children. But everyone believes in their abilities.

Somnukploy got to know many other villagers.

Many glasses of wild liquor were gone. Somnuek felt dizzy.

Somwang's elders sat with a group of women, sipping wild liquor and chatting happily.

“An adult boyfriend or something?”

A woman in her fifties who sat in the group asked.

"No, auntie is just a friend."

At the same time in front of the gate of Somnuek's house. Cherd and Ek drove their motorcycles to park.

"Are you thinking about it? It's me and Cherd."

The whole area fell into darkness and silence. The two parked the car and walked into the house. Turn on the neon switch in the basement until it's bright.

“Not here, Ek. I suspect Ainuk probably went out to drink in the village.”

“There is no way if he enters the village, he must go to my house or yours.”

Cherd and Ek sat on a mat under the house. Ek removed the backpack he was carrying and placed it on the mat, took out a liquor bottle, opened the cap and poured several gulps into his mouth, then held it up to the seat next to him.

"cracking sound"

The sound of dry leaves in the bamboo grove behind the house sounded like someone was walking on them.

Cherd and Aek looked at each other in silence, then turned to look at the bamboo grove behind the house.

“Dek, did you hear anything just now?”

“I heard the sound of people walking near a bamboo grove.”

The two of them downed several bottles of liquor into their mouths and walked towards the bamboo grove behind the house.

"Hey, I think, stop teasing me. It's better than having a drink together."

Cherd and Ek walked to a stop under the shadow of a bamboo grove. The two saw a shadowy figure lying on the ground and the sound of dry bamboo leaves rustling.

The closer they got, the two could see a dark shadow lying on the ground. It appeared as if a pair of animal eyes were staring at the two of them.

Cherd held Ek's hand and walked towards the dark shadow. They bent down and used their hands to stroke the shadow and touched the soft fur. Startled, the two quickly pulled their hands back and stood up.

“What is it, Cherd?”

"I don't know."

“Hook”

There was the sound of a tiger roaring and a dark shadow on the ground stood up and walked towards Ek.

"Hey Ek, this is a tiger. It's running fast."

Cherd and Ek ran out of Somnuek's house, leaving their motorcycles behind.

In the morning, Somnuk opened his eyes and looked around. He found himself lying on a bed in a room with a cool fan on, so he sat up.

“Did you wake up and drink until you fell asleep last night? It's good that the aunts helped carry him to sleep in Dad's room."

“Thank you very much.”

Somnuek said and shook his head.

"Let's go take a shower and change clothes so we can go contact the mill in the province. We're free today."

Somwang adults put down their shirts. The pants of his late father on the bed where Somnuek was sitting.

Half an hour later, Somnuek and Somwang were dressed in jeans. Blue long-sleeved jeans and helmets and tea-colored sun masks were worn on both of their heads.

“Pad”

Somnuek started the engine. Adult Somwang sat astride behind him, his arms hugging Somnuek's waist tightly.

“Please hug my waist.”

Elder Somwang spoke into Somnuek's ear before the motorcycle ran out of the house.

(Please follow the next episode)

Chapter 5

An hour later, a motorcycle reached the province. The Rice Trading Agricultural Cooperative is a place where Somwang's elders recommended that Somnuek have the opportunity to talk and inquire about all the details regarding rice sales until receiving many new and useful information.

Somnuk drives a motorcycle to take Somwang's elder out of the cooperative and stops at a department store.

“It's been a while since I've been to this mall. It's great to see new and unusual products.”

Elder Somwang said cheerfully as he walked onto Somnuek's arm.

“Let's stop by and eat fishball noodles.”

“OK.”

Somnuek and the elder Somwang walked arm in arm, laughing affectionately, towards the food court of the mall.

Meanwhile, on the escalator going up Palad Niyom, Lieutenant Supoj, Lanthom and Sucha were standing on the escalator. Lanthom stands behind today as everyone comes to buy necessary supplies. This is the day that everyone takes a vacation from their duties.

Lanthom's eyes looked downstairs as the escalator rose. Then his eyes saw a young man and a young woman dressed in blue jeans walking arm in arm, talking and laughing with each other. Lanthom clearly recognizes the man as Somnuek, but the woman does not.

For a long time until the escalator carried Lanthom's body, who was looking downstairs, into the body of Lieutenant Supoj, who was standing and waiting.

"I'm sorry, P'Phot."

“What are you looking at downstairs?”

"No, P'Pot."

Lieutenant Supoj grabbed Lanthom's wrist and made him follow Palad Niyom and Sucha who were walking ahead.

Lanthom continued to walk, looking back and forth suspiciously but not daring to speak. Until the two of them walked over and caught up with Palad Niyom and Sucha who were standing there choosing glasses.

“What are you looking at, Dad?”

Lieutenant Supoj asked, walking closer.

“Dad, I'm going to get new glasses. I will have my eyes checked as well.”

"Good, Cha. I've seen dad use the old one for a long time."

“But you have to queue because there are many customers.”

“Dad, then me and Cha want to go to the bathroom first. Let P'Poj stay as a friend."

Lanthom finished speaking and grabbed Sucha's wrist and walked away from the customers who were walking.

"Here, where are you going? We just went to the bathroom just now."

"Well, just now we saw P'Somnuek walking with a woman."

"Ha, is it true? Let's quickly go and see."

Sucha said excitedly and wanted to prove the truth.

After a while Lanthom took Sucha down the escalator to the ground floor. Walking around looking for a man and a woman in blue jeans. Then Sucha was the one who saw a woman and a man dressed in blue jeans at a noodle shop in the food court.

"That's it, Brother Somnuk, but the woman doesn't know."

Sucha said as he turned to look at Lanthom standing next to him whose eyes were starting to turn red as if he were about to cry.

"No, don't cry so easily. We'd better go find him."

"Don't let it be a roadblock."

"If you don't ask, you won't know the truth."

Lantom agreed to follow Sucha and went to see Somnuek and Somwang who were sitting and eating noodles.

"Lanthom Sucha"

Somnuek said happily when he saw the two people.

"Come sit and eat noodles. I'll order for you."

Lanthom and Sucha agreed to sit down at the table as invited, but their eyes always looked fulfilled.

“Somwang, this is Lanthom and Sucha. I am a teacher and a doctor at Ban Don Phayom.”

"hello"

Somwang said hello until Thom and Sucha had to smile back.

“When do you go home to Don Phayom? I miss you.”

Somnuk whispered to Lanthom who was sitting next to him.

“Are you sure you still miss this Lantom?”

Lanthom spoke until everyone at the table heard and looked at him with hope.

From the words and gestures of Lanthom who looked at himself often, Somwang immediately began to understand something.

Two bowls of hot noodles were served to Lanthom and Sucha.

“Let's eat some noodles first and then I'll tell you some truths.”

Somwang finished speaking and continued eating the noodles.

"Jingle jingle"

The phone in Lanthom's handbag rang.

"Hello, Brother Suphot, Lanthom and Sucha are currently sitting in the food court. If you're done with business, it's better to bring dad here."

“Father and Brother Supoj called. Coming here.”

Soon Paladniyom and Supoj walked to the table.

“Hello, Permanent Secretary, Lieutenant Supoj.”

Somnuek said greetings and raised his hands in greeting.

“Hello, Oh Somnuek, today you are in Loei province.”

"Yes, I came to contact the rice mill. Elder Somwang from Ban Dong Mamuang was the one who brought me here."

“Hello, Mr. Permanent.”

“Oh, hello.”

The Paladin likes to sit at the table with everyone and be the dealer who pays for all the noodles.

Lieutenant Suphot looked at Somwang's face often because he felt attracted to him. Somwang also has the same feelings as Mr. Supoj.

Everyone was full and the deputy paid for the noodles as promised.

“I have the truth to tell Lanthom and everyone.”

Everyone looked at each other with hope.

“Somwang has something to say.”

Permanent Secretary spoke in a calm voice.

“Well, I am the village headman. Ban Dong Mamuang is close to Ban Don Phayom. Have love and closeness with Somnuek as friends who have studied together since childhood.”

Somwang finished speaking and smiled at Lanthom who was sitting looking at him.

“So, do you have a family?”

Lieutenant Supoj asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry. Right now I'm single and don't plan on having a family."

It was only a short time after Somwang spoke the truth about his relationship with Somnuek. This made Lanthom understand that Somnuek agreed to sit next to the young man he was in love with. Lieutenant Supoj also happened to have a crush on Somwang.

“Leaving here, where will Mr. Somwang go next?”

“Go back home to the mango grove, Lieutenant.”

“I would like to invite you and Mr. Somnuk to visit my house.”

“It's better next time. I have to hurry back.”

The deputy liked to sit and watch the expressions of the young men and women sitting at the table and was satisfied. When he knew who liked whom, but sitting still was considered childish.

Lanthom, Sucha and Somwang walked and talked pleasantly towards the parking lot behind the department store, with Palad Niyom, Somnuek and Lieutenant Supoj following closely behind.

The parking lot behind the mall is where Lieutenant Supoj and Somnuk parked their cars.

When I turned the corner of the mall Lieutenant Supoj looked at his large white pickup truck parked near a large pillar and saw two men using keys to unlock both doors of the vehicle.

“The father is stealing the car.”

Lieutenant Supoj whispered to Palad Niyom who was walking next to him, causing Somnuek who was walking next to him to hear.

Lieutenant Supoj turned his head and looked into Somnuk's eyes for just a moment and the two of them could understand the whole situation very well.

“Take care of them, my platoon will take them too.”

The two walked quickly and disappeared into the line of parked cars. Palad Niyom stopped and stood still.

“Grack”

Supoj's car key moved to release the lock.

The two guys opened the door left and right and went in to search the contents of the car comfortably without fearing the laws of the country.

“Who are you and why are you searching the things in the car?”

Sucha said angrily, pushing the right side of the door onto the leg of the person sitting at the steering wheel.

“Chrom”

The door was violently slammed back. Until the toilet bounced and hit Lanthom and Somwang who were standing next to him.

“Is this your throat?”

The guy who kicked the door said angrily. He got out of the car, clutching the shiny white knife handle in his hand and walked towards Sucha in a moody mood.

“Sucha, be careful of the knife.”

Somwang said loudly and pushed Sucha until he lurched away.

“Quickly.”

The sound of a sharp knife cutting through the air

"Phew"

Somwang kicked the wrist that was holding the knife handle.

"gulp"

Lanthom kicked the knifeman's chest with full force.

“Wait.”

A blade swung past Lan Thom's face as Somwang's body jumped and kicked Lan Thom's body with all his might until he slammed into the door of a car parked nearby.

“Wow!”

The blade slammed into Somwang's leg so fast that he cried out in pain.

“Pleasing.”

Somnuek's and Lieutenant Suphot's shins slammed into the ribs of the two knife-wielding men until they collapsed and lay on the ground.

“Clack!”

Lieutenant Suphot placed the handcuffs on his wrists. The two knife hands sat on the side of the car.

“Is there something wrong?”

Four guards who had rushed over asked.

“These two guys broke into my car and used knives to attack.”

“Go on, you guys, go make your excuses to the police.”

One of the guards said angrily and together he grabbed the two knife wielders and dragged them out towards the front of the mall.

"What's wrong with Somwang? Look, there's a lot of blood."

Somnuek's shocked words made everyone turn their heads to look at Somwang who was lying on the ground, blood dripping out and soaking his trousers.

“Go see a doctor quickly.”

Somnuk finished speaking, bent down and picked Somwang's body up to sit on the left seat, then Lieutenant Supoj drove out of the mall with everyone and took Somwang to the hospital immediately.

In front of the emergency room at the hospital Somnuk and everyone sat anxiously listening to the news about Somwang.

A middle-aged male doctor in a white robe opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Doctor, the injured person's name is Somwang. How is his condition?"

Somnuek asked with concern.

“Khun Somwang received a long cut on his right calf with several stitches and had to stay in the hospital for a few days.”

Half an hour later Somwang, lying wide awake on a stretcher in a wheelchair, was taken to a special room where the secretary preferred to contact the hospital.

"It's okay, just take it easy."

Somnuek said comforting words to Somwang and walked next to the crib.

“Thank you very much for helping me until I was injured.”

Lanthom said while walking next to Somnuek.

“It's okay, I hope my friend's lover is safe.”

“Who will be the watcher?”

The deputy spoke and looked at everyone's faces.

“It's me and Lanthom.”

Palad Niyom looked at Somnuek and Lanthom's faces and revealed a smile.

"Then whatever you want, I'll excuse myself for now."

Palad Niyom walked out of the room and Supoj and Sucha followed him.

For nearly an hour, Lieutenant Supoj interrogated the two knifemen.

“Hom, son of Master Seng.”

It is a confession of the two knifemen who openly confessed that they have an older brother named the boss of Seng and his son, Mr. Hom. Let them patrol and steal cars to deliver customer orders at the border.

“See you for sure.”

Late in the morning at Somnuek's house, the whole area was quiet. Cherd and Ek stood in front of the gate, carefully looking around. The two motorcycles are still parked in the same place since last night when the tiger was found near the bamboo grove next to the house. The two were startled and ran out of the house, leaving the motorcycles here.

Today we have to be strong and bring motorcycles.

"Are you still thinking about it? It's me and Ek."

Cheed called out, but everything fell silent.

"Or did I think he was bitten on the head by a tiger?"

"You idiot, you're such a badass."

The two slowly crept into the basement of the house, looked around until they were sure there was no tiger seen last night, so they walked around the house. Couldn't find Somnuek, his dear friend, so he walked up to the house and couldn't find him.

“Ek, I think that idiot isn't home.”

“Why do you know?”

“Well, the motorcycle isn't there, which means it was driven outside.”

“What kind of shelf is that for that idiot?”

Donna said suspiciously when she saw the shelf with the red cloth wrapped on it.

"Well, whatever it is, whatever it is, I think it's better for us to go back now than we're lonely."

“Wait!”

Ek and Cherd started the motorbike and drove out of the gate without looking at the house.

(Please follow the next episode)

Chapter 6

On both sides of the road were groves of forests, causing Ek and Ek to be caught off guard. The bodies of four young men were hidden in the bushes on the side of the road. A large wire was stretched across the road. The eyes of the four men looked towards Somnuek's house which was visible on the far side of the field and saw two motorcycles running from the house. up to the point where the wire is stretched

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang”

The sound of a motorcycle crashing to the road as it crashed into a waist-high wire. The engine was revved to an ear-splitting sound.

“Pooh.”

The piece in his hand was hit on the heads of Cherd and Ek once each, and both of them immediately lost consciousness.

“Wait!”

The two motorcycles were picked up and started and the four men drove away from where Cherd and Aek's bodies lay unconscious.

It was almost noon. Cherd and Ek walked home with a painful injury. The wound on their head still had blood flowing out.

“Oh Cherd, Ek, what happened to your head? And what about motorcycles?”

Elder Pig sitting in front of the house asked.

“My father and Aek were carjacked near Ainuk's house.”

“Oh, are there thieves in Ban Don Phayom? But for now, let's go dress the wound first.”

"Doctor Sucha is not here, father. The health center is closed."

“Then go see a doctor at the hospital in the city. Go tell your father, too."

Phu Yai Moo and their father Sangwan drove a motorcycle to take Cherd and his son Ek to the hospital at almost 2:00 p.m.

“Uncle Moo, Uncle Sangwian, what are you doing at the hospital?

Somnuk, who walked down from Somwang's room, met the two of them.

“Oh, I think Uncle took Cherd and Aek to dress their wounds. Two people were hijacked on their motorcycles near your house. What are you doing here?

"I just happened to have business with an elder at Somwang Ban Dong Mamuang and had an accident. Now I'm sleeping in the sick room."

"Alright, then we'll go visit."

“Grack”

The door to the wound room opened and a nurse walked in front of the doctor and Cherd.

"Wait, Khun Cherd and Khun Ek take this prescription to pick up the medicine at the dispensary. Take it according to the prescription. Will you come and get it cut in another five days?"

“Yes, thank you very much, doctor.”

Cherd said thank you to the nurse. Pick up a prescription The nurse walked back into the room.

“Oh, I think, why do you know that Aek and I came to the hospital?

"Well, it's a long story. I'll tell you later. Now go get the medicine."

Half an hour later, after Cherd and Ek had finished receiving the medicine, everyone walked to the sick room where Somwang was resting. Lieutenant Supoj Sucha Lanthom was sitting next to the bed.

“Hello, Uncle Phuyai, Uncle Sangwian.”

Somwang raised his hand in greeting and said hello.

"hello"

Lanthom Sucha and Muang Supoj said greetings.

"hello everyone"

Everyone talked and asked each other's stories until they knew the whole story. All the time, Elder Moo noticed that Lieutenant Supoj would be sitting next to Somwang's bed, taking care of him, which made him know that the two began to like each other.

“This kind of incident has happened at Ban Dong Mamuang before when the owner of Seng and his son went to buy rice there. causing the villagers not to sell rice to them”

Somwang talks to the elder Moo.

“Thinking about it, it hurts to reach down the throat of a cobra like us.”

Cherd said angrily.

“And now, do you know which one they are?”

"Uncle doesn't know either."

“But now I know which one they are. Give me a few more days.

Lieutenant Supoj spoke confidently.

"Good. Me and the villagers of Don Phayom will not be in trouble."

“Yes, Uncle Elder, I guarantee that I will take care of it for you.”

When everything is perfect, everyone is relieved, especially Elder Moo, who will be able to go back and explain to Don Phayom villagers that their doubts will be gone.

“What about fulfillment? When will I be able to go home?"

Elder Moo asked.

"Tomorrow late, the doctor will let you go back."

"And when do you think you'll be coming home?"

“I returned with my wish fulfilled, Uncle.”

"You go home and be careful, there's a tiger at your house."

Ek's words made everyone look at Somnuek suspiciously. Probably only Somnuek and Lanthom locked eyes for a moment without anyone noticing.

“Where are the tiger moths?” Ek himself kept talking.

“Oh, my father and Cherd have already met. Let's leave the motorcycle and run across the field and go home."

“Have you two been drinking too much?”

Sangwan spoke to his son and smiled.

"It's true, Uncle Sangwan, Aek and I have met before."

"Alright, I'll go home and tell you the truth."

Somnuk promised everyone

Sucha, who was sitting next to Cherd, worriedly asked to see the stitched wound.

“Soon we will have a daughter-in-law who will be a doctor.”

Elder Moo thought alone in his heart as he looked at Sucha.

The same evening, Phuyai Moo, Sangwian, Cherd and Aek traveled back to Don Phayom. Sucha promised Cherd that she would return to Don Phayom. along with hope

The next day in the afternoon, Somwang left the hospital and traveled back home to Dong Mamuang with Somnuk, Lanthom and Sucha, with Lieutenant Suphot driving the car himself.

Dozens of Dong Mamuang villagers waited to welcome their village headman in front of their houses. As soon as Lieutenant Supoj drove to the The villagers opened the door and carried Somwang's body into the back chair. Under the house, Lieutenant Suphot was sitting nearby.

“Thank you very much to everyone for your concern. This accident, Lieutenant Suphot was able to help in time, otherwise it would have been bad.”

“Hello everyone, I am Lieutenant Supoj.”

The villagers saw the closeness of the lieutenant and his elders and knew that now their elders were starting to love each other.

“Then I will come and visit often.”

Lieutenant Supoj spoke with Somwang

“No problem, thank you very much.”

Lieutenant Suphot held Somwang's hand tightly.

“We all need to leave and will come to visit.”

Somnuk, who was sitting together with his friends, spoke up.

“Thank you all very much.”

From the time Somwang returned from the hospital until his condition recovered, Supoj would come visit the house every week. Somwang himself still goes to Ban Don Phayom often. By helping the village elders bring the stored rice to sell to the mill in the city until the price is higher than what was previously sold to the owner of Seng, until now there are no villagers to sell the rice to.

Nowadays, the motorcycles of villagers in Don Phayom and Don Mamuang often disappear, so much so that Elder Moo and Elder Somwang have to work together to organize patrols around the village.

It's 10 p.m. in a large warehouse in the Tao Kae Seng Mill District in the city. Boss Seng and Hom and several subordinates were helping to lift dozens of motorcycles onto a large parked truck.

“How many cars can you take on this trip?”

“Thirty cars, Tia.”

"Very good, this trip you will probably get a lot of those Don Phayom villagers who don't sell rice and steal their motorbikes as revenge."

All the motorcycles were lifted and placed in the truck bed until the number was complete. A large canvas was spread out and the rope was tied tightly.

“It's finished. Go back and get some rest. I'll take these things and deliver them to the customers.”

“Be careful, child.”

“Yes, Tia.”

Boss Zeng walked out of the warehouse door, followed by four subordinates.

“Go fuck us.”

Hom ordered all his subordinates to get into the car together.

“Brün”

The driver's subordinate started the engine of the Hom truck and sat with the driver. He turned to look at the two subordinates sitting in the seats behind him.

“Brün”

The car slowly left the mill gate and picked up speed as it turned up the main road, heading along the eastern road that ran towards the border.

For nearly half an hour the car was running on the road, there were quite a few cars passing in the opposite direction. About fifty meters away from the truck, there was a white pickup truck running behind it all the while, not being able to kiss his subordinates without being suspicious. Until the driver became suspicious when he looked in the rearview mirror and saw a white pickup truck behind him that refused to pass, as if he were stalking him.

“You smell like there's a pickup truck following us.”

The words of the subordinate driving the car caused Hom, who was sleeping, to immediately wake up and look in the rearview mirror.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, sir, I have seen it for a long time.”

“Then let us be careful.”

in a four-door pickup sedan that follows a truck Lieutenant Supot sat in the left front seat with four other plainclothes police officers. Everyone sat silently for a long time, and no one said anything.

“Lieutenant, another twenty kilometers until the border crossing point.”

The plainclothes police officer who was driving spoke up.

“Then everyone prepare to turn on the lights and go search.”

"yes"

Red flashing lights were placed on the roof of the vehicle outside the vehicle along with flashing red flashing lights.

“Brün”

The engine was revved until the pickup picked up speed alongside the truck.

“The truck driver is also parked on the left, and the police would like to search.”

Lieutenant Suphot spoke through a car amplifier. But the truck continued to drive as usual, refusing to stop on the side of the road and even accelerating, increasing its speed until the pickup truck had to follow behind.

"Really a policeman, Brother Hom."

The truck driver said in shock.

“Oh, you drive all the way, almost to the border, and they won't dare follow you anymore.

“Yes, sir.”

The truck's accelerator pedal was pressed all the way down to the floor. The car immediately sped forward faster than before.

“Bang!”

Lieutenant Suphot used the pistol in his hand to shoot at the back tire of the truck. The bullet missed the target and the truck continued to move.

"P'Hom suspects the police already hit us three times."

“You find the right moment to brake so it runs into you.”

“Okay, son.”

“Bang!”

The gun in Lieutenant Supoj's hand fired three more rounds and the outside right rear tire of the truck was pierced by a bullet.

It was the same moment that Lieutenant Supoj's car ran into the back of the truck.

"Ready P'Hom"

The truck driver turned and told his subordinate and everyone in the truck to hold on tight.

“Squeaky, croaky.”

The sound of the truck's tires rubbing against the road was so strong that a burning stench was heard at the same time as Lieutenant Supoj's pickup truck. It hit the back of the truck so hard that the radiator shattered. Everyone in the pickup received minor injuries.

“Brün”

The truck's engine throttled and disappeared into the darkness.

"Lieutenant"

Lieutenant Supoj's subordinate regained consciousness before anyone called his boss and shook his unconscious body.

“Who are we and what are we?”

"No, Lieutenant. It's just a little scratched, but the car's radiator is broken and can't run."

“Radio calls for reinforcements to help quickly.”

“Yes, Lieutenant.”

An hour later, reinforcements arrived and the border checkpoint radioed that a canvas-covered truck had passed through the checkpoint and refused to be checked.

Lieutenant Supoj and his subordinates immediately rushed to the checkpoint.

“Sergeant, which way is the car running?”

Lieutenant Supoj asked the team leader at the checkpoint.

“Over there, the platoon ran towards the gorge.”

“We followed in the car.”

After nearly half an hour, Lieutenant Supoj and his subordinates arrived at a dead-end mountain pass. A truck was found abandoned in the grove on the side of the road with ten motorcycles on the back of the pickup.

“They escaped with some stolen goods as usual.”

Lieutenant Supoj spoke in a moody tone. Ordered his subordinates to drive back the truck with the motorcycle in the pickup and withdraw back.

Since then, plainclothes police have been in disguise and observing in front of the Tao Kae Seng factory every day.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant Supoj, along with dozens of uniformed policemen, inspected the area of ​​the mill belonging to the owner of Seng. There were only about a dozen workers working and the manager was in charge.

“May I search the warehouse behind the mill, Manager?”

“I'm sorry, the warehouse key is with the boss.”

“And when will the boss return?”

"I don't know. You said you were out of the country on business for several days."

Lieutenant Supoj walked around the mill for a while and didn't find anything unusual, so he took his subordinates back.

"Jingle jingle"

Not long after Lieutenant Supoj returned, the manager's phone rang.

“Hello, Tao Kae Seng Rice Mill.”

“Oh, it's me.”

Boss Zeng's voice spoke over the phone.

“The boss, Lieutenant Supoj, brought his subordinates to inspect the warehouse behind the mill. But I said the key lies with the boss. Now I have gone back.”

“Oh, very good. Take good care of the mill. I'll be back in two days. And be careful right now in front of the factory, there will be a platoon of subordinates watching over you.”

“Yes, I will take a good look at the mill.”

The young manager spoke to Tao Seng warmly before hanging up the phone and walking to the office window. Looking towards the front of the mill, he saw a hired motorcycle parked under a large claw tree opposite the front of the mill.

“I suspect that this time, the boss of Seng and his son will be attacked.”

The young manager muttered to himself and walked over to his desk to check accounts.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon in a room on a high-rise condominium on the top floor, located on the seashore, a tourist downtown area with many people traveling. Boss Seng Hom was sitting and talking with a middle-aged man, about sixty years of age, tall and muscular, with black skin. bushy beard

“This job lost a lot of money, Yut.”

Boss Seng spoke to a cross-border smuggler who had been in contact with illegal goods for almost a year.

"Oh, it's such a shame, I'm just pretending to complain."

"I think we'd better take revenge on the person who keeps hindering us."

“Take it like that, okay?”

“I think we'll deal with it decisively, Uncle Yut.”

“Whatever you do, you must think carefully, child.”

"If Hom intends it like that, Uncle will take care of it. People are already ready."

Yut finished speaking, picked up his beer and took a sip, while the boss looked at his best friend and then looked at his son sitting next to him.

“Ring!”

Boss Seng's phone rang.

“Hello, what do you say?”

For a long time the boss listened to the manager at the mill report the incident.

"Oh, now you work as usual, taking care of the mill."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and picked up the beer in front of him and took a sip.

“Lieutenant Supoj bit him and wouldn't let go and sent his subordinates to watch in front of the mill.”

“Well, now that you've sold it, aren't you going to deal with the thorns again?”

Yut finished speaking and looked at the fragrant eyes sitting in front of him.

"OK, Uncle Yut, I'll handle this task myself."

Five p.m. at Somnuek's house Today is the first day that Somnuek brought paddy rice from Don Phayom villagers to sell to him according to Somwang's advice. causing it to be sold at a more expensive price than before Therefore, they meet together to encourage each other. Supoj and Somwang were also invited to join the discussion.

Elder Moo and Mr. Sangwian take care of all the food. Dozens of villagers represented came to the discussion. The area around the house is cool and comfortable.

Somnuk walked down from the house with a lantern. The two held plates of food that were placed on a shelf with the urns of their father and mother's ashes, and from the shelf a red cloth talisman was wrapped.

“I thought you were giving food to someone at home.”

Elder Moo asked as Somnuek and Lanthom walked by.

“Then go give it to mom and dad. And it's P'Suea, uncle."

“Who is it, Brother Suea?”

Elder Pig muttered to himself.

Somnuk handed the plate he was carrying to Lanthom and told him to pour it into the bamboo grove behind the house while he himself sat with everyone in the group.

“Do you think you like Teacher Lanthom?”

Sangwian asked.

"Father went and asked something. It made me feel embarrassed if I thought of it like that."

“And when will you find a daughter-in-law for your father?”

What did Ek say to his father?

"What do you think about answering this to clear my doubts?"

“Yes, Uncle, the two of us are getting married.”

(Please follow the next episode)

Chapter 7

At 6 p.m. the weather began to cool and darkness began to cover many villagers and began to return. until there were only a few people left Cherd and Ek looked at each other and then looked towards the bamboo grove behind the house as if looking for something

“Cherd – Ek, what are you two looking for?”

Elder Moo asked.

“Tiger, Uncle Cherd and I have met before and ran across the field back home without thinking about each other's lives.”

“Did you two drink too much alcohol?”

“It's true, Ainuk's father actually raises tigers and is a tiger with magic.”

Elder Moo and Sangwan looked at each other in disbelief at what Ek and Cherd had said.

“Is it true what Cherd and Aek said?”

Elder Moo asked.

"True, uncle, but it's a good thing that the monk gave me to protect myself."

“So it doesn't bite people's heads?”

“No, Uncle Wian. But it likes to bite the heads of drunk people.”

"Hey, I think you keep talking. I want to see it."

Sangwan finished speaking, picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank the entire glass in one go.

“Crunchy”

There was a sound of dry bamboo leaves in the bamboo grove behind the house, as if someone was walking in the shadows of the bamboo grove. Everyone turned and saw only the dark shadow of something on the ground.

“That's it, Uncle Wian, that Lai guy is sleeping in a bamboo grove.”

Somnuk tells Sangwan who is drunk.

Everyone was silent and turned to look at the shadows in the bamboo grove.

“Does Lanthom believe this?”

"Believe me, I've encountered it myself."

Lanthom answered Somwang, causing Lieutenant Suphot to put down the glass of wine in his hand.

"Oh, I really want to prove it."

Lieutenant Supoj spoke, wanting proof.

"Let's go prove it."

Sangwan invites in a slurred drunken voice.

Everyone sat quietly, looking into each other's eyes. When no one stopped them from protesting, Lieutenant Supoj and Sangwian got up and walked towards the bamboo grove.

"Dad, don't have a heart attack. Something's running this way."

"Oh, Aek, keep an eye on your father's form."

Lieutenant Supoj walked with the ring near the dark shadows along the bamboo grove. Every time he saw shadows crawling on the ground, they appeared like a pair of animal eyes.

“Crunchy”

The sound of dry bamboo leaves sounded as if someone was walking, causing Lieutenant Supoj and Sangwian to stand still and look at each other.

“Go uncle.”

The two walked to a halt at the shadow in front of the ring. They were the first to bend down and grab the sleeping shadow. They quickly pulled their hands back and stood up stiffly. Seeing Sangwian's condition with curiosity, Lieutenant Suphot bent down and grabbed the black shadow in front of him to look at it. Then he had to quickly pull his hand back. He had the same symptoms as Sangwian who was standing frozen. Now the two people's eyes clearly saw that in front of them was a large tiger lying down, waving its tail on the dry bamboo leaves.

“Hoke”

The sound of a sleeping tiger roaring and getting up and walking towards the two.

"Hey Tiger"

Lieutenant Suphot and Sangwan shouted together and ran back towards everyone who was sitting under the house looking at them and jumped into the middle of the circle.

"How is it, Father? Do you believe it now?"

Donna said in a shocked voice.

Everyone sat in their seats, silent as if under a spell.

“You see, everyone is afraid that things will get worse.”

Lanthom said as he shook Somnuek's arm so hard that Somnuek had to get up and walk straight to where Lai Tue was standing.

“Lai goes outside first.”

“Hoke”

Lai growled as Somnuek finished speaking. He walked over and licked Somnuek's hand a few times before walking out of the gate.

"Right now it's a normal situation. Please feel free to invite everyone."

Somnuek finished speaking and walked over to sit with the group as usual.

Lieutenant Supoj and Sangwan still sat there, wide-eyed, unable to do anything.

“Father, that pattern is gone.”

Ek shook the bodies of his father and Lieutenant Supoj until they were both conscious. Sukha and Somwang were also shocked and unable to do anything for a long time until Lanthom, who was sitting next to them, shook himself vigorously until he turned and spoke to Lanthom in response.

“Sucha - Somwang, don't be frightened, it's just a talisman to protect you. I remember him.”

Sucha and Somwang began to relieve their fear.

"Hey, I thought I had something good and didn't tell Uncle about it."

Elder Pig said as he raised his glass of wine and drank with a trembling hand.

“It's just a good thing you got from a pilgrim, uncle.”

“Tonight, when we return home, will we have a chance to meet the striped beast?”

Somwang asked in a worried tone.

“We guarantee that the Lai will not harm anyone.”

Many villagers who were sitting in the group asked to go home. Many motorbikes drove away from Somnuek's house.

Phuyai Moo – Cherd – ring with Sucha and Ek They drove their motorcycles away from the house. Lieutenant Supoj - Somwang - Lanthom and Somnuek were still sitting and talking.

“Lieutenant, I will quickly arrange for elders to go and ask for the Frangipani to be properly decorated according to tradition.”

Somnuk told Supoj while Lanthom and Somwang got up to go to the bathroom.

“OK, Somnuek, I hope Lanthom will find someone who truly loves her.”

“Pad”

Lieutenant Supoj started Somwang's motorcycle. To return home to the mango grove Somwang stood gossiping with Lanthom then walked over and sat astride the back of the motorcycle, hugging Supoj's waist tightly.

“Do you want us to drive the motorbike to you or not?”

“No need to, just take good care of Lanthom, my friend.”

Lieutenant Supoj drove his motorcycle out of the gate of the house. On both sides of the road were open rice fields where rice was being harvested. Somwang hugged Supoj's waist tightly and talked about various matters behind his back all the time.

Around the grove intersection, where Ek and Cherd had been hijacked on a motorcycle. Kissing several subordinates, all of whom covered their faces with black robes. Not long ago, a villager's motorcycle passed by where everyone was lurking. But Hom wants to deal with Lieutenant Supoj, who took his subordinates to confiscate his motorcycle on a truck at the border several days ago.

"Brother Motorbike, Lieutenant Supoj, has arrived."

The underlings watching whispered.

"Are you sure it's his car?"

“Yes, Brother Rod, the lieutenant, and there is also Mrs. Phuyai Somwang. Ban Dong Mamuang, the naughty one, was sitting in the back.”

“Oh, then keep them.”

“Yes, sir.”

Hom and his subordinates tightly gripped the gun handles in their hands. Every pair of eyes stared at the headlights of the cars that were approaching every moment.

Lieutenant Supoj drives his motorcycle slowly and comfortably, often turning to speak to Somwang who is sitting behind him.

“Why do you carry a gun all the time?”

Somwang asked when his hand touched the pistol on Lieutenant Supoj's waist.

“I carry it for self-defense and to protect the girl I love.”

Lieutenant Suphot turned to answer and then stole a strong kiss on Somwang's cheek.

"Cheater"

Somwang complained and used his fist to hit Lieutenant Supoj's back several times.

Another twenty meters or so will bring you to a sweet spot with famous subordinates lurking around. The headlights of the car caught sight of a large striped tiger standing in the way. Both of them recognized him as Ai Lai.

“Ai Lai”

The two exclaimed at the same time. Lieutenant Supoj hurriedly parked his motorcycle.

..”Hoke”

Lai growled, but still stood in the way and refused to give way.

Lieutenant Suphot released his hand from the accelerator. Allow the engine to warm up slowly. Somwang got out of the car and sat down next to him. The light still shone on Ai Lai's body.

Hom and his subordinates were suspicious of the enemy's motorcycle, which was suddenly parked as if he knew he was being ambushed.

"Or the platoon knows me."

“Then we'll take care of it.”

“Bang bang”

The sound of Hom and his subordinates' guns rang out at the same time. The bullets that shot out of the barrel didn't appear to have hit Lieutenant Supoj and Somwang at all.

“Hoke”

The striped creature that was standing, roared and then leapt and disappeared into the grove on the side of the road where he and his subordinates were ambushing him.

From past work experiences, Lieutenant Suphot was able to regain consciousness and still see the light from the muzzle of the gun of Hom and his subordinates who were firing at themselves.

“Bang bang!”

The gun in Lieutenant Suphot's hand rang out several times in a row. It was a random shot, hitting the area where the light from the barrel could be seen.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Lieutenant Suphot sat down next to Somwang's body, which was trembling with fear, and supported his lover's body and fled into the grove on the side of the road.

Hom and his subordinates bowed on the ground when Lieutenant Supoj shot at them randomly. When the sound of the gunfire stopped, everyone looked up and looked at the place where the motorcycle was parked, the engine warm and the headlights on. The bodies of the platoon and Somwang did not appear. But when he turned around and looked at his subordinate who was crouching next to him, he saw him lying quietly so he reached out his hand and poked him.

"Hey, look up, you're still sleeping."

Hom shook his subordinate's body violently and saw that he was still lying there, so he pulled his left arm to face up. When the body turned around, he saw a bullet wound in the middle of his forehead.

"Hey, that hit me in the head."

“Hoke”

At the same time everyone heard a tiger roaring nearby.

Everyone turned to look at the sound and saw a large tiger standing with its fangs bared, looking at everyone with bloodshot eyes.

"P'Hom Suea"

“Just shoot it.”

“Bang bang”

At Hom's words, every gun fired at the tiger that was slowly walking towards everyone. There was no indication that the gunshot had hit the walking tiger.

“Whoa, oh.”

The tiger roared and leapt to bite the neck of Hom's subordinate nearby.

“We fly fast.”

Hom shouted loudly and everyone ran without thinking for their lives.

From the moment the first gunshot rang out, it could be heard in the village, all the way to Somnuk's house.

Elder Moo and many villagers drove their motorcycles with weapons in hand to the scene of the incident. Somnuk and Lanthom also drove a motorcycle.

“Pad”

Somwang's motorcycle engine was still warming up slowly, the headlights still shining brightly.

“Is something wrong with the category?”

Elder Moo asked as soon as he arrived and remembered who the car belonged to. But throughout the area there was no sign of anyone to be seen.

“Uncle, Lieutenant Suphot drove a motorbike to take Somwang back to the Mamuang grove.”

"Hey, where did Lieutenant and Somwang go? Someone must have ambushed them."

Cherd said as he walked around looking around with a flashlight in his hand.

“Somwang, where are you? Is something wrong?”

Somnuek said with concern for his young friend.

“There is an adult lying here dead.”

The villagers shouted in shock.

Everyone walked into the nearby grove on the side of the road and found two strange salesmen lying on the ground in a pool of blood. One body was hit by a bullet and a hole was visible in its forehead. Another body lay dead, blood flowing down the floor, the neck had marks as if it had been bitten by a large animal and was almost severed.

Lanthom and Sucha had to turn their heads away in fear.

“Which ones, Dad?”

“Father doesn't know either. I feel like I'm coming from another house.”

“Category – Somwang”

Somnuek-Cherd and Ek helped each other shine the flashlights in their hands along the nearby bushes on the side of the road until they saw swaying bushes. The three of them turned to look and slowly crept towards them. Everyone tightens their guns in their hands. until reaching the image that everyone saw Lieutenant Suphot held Somwang's trembling body in his arms, his right hand still gripping a pistol.

"Lieutenant, I have feelings for my friend. Don't be alarmed."

Lieutenant Suphot supported Somwang's body and stood up. Lanthom and Sucha came to support Somwang and walked towards the group of villagers who were standing and watching.

"What's the matter, sir?"

"I don't know either. Adults, when we got here, something happened."

Lieutenant Supoj looked around as if he was looking for something.

“What are you looking for?”

Elder Pig asked curiously.

“The tiger, I feel, is the same one at Somnuk's house.”

“What is that striped thing doing?”

Somnuek asked quickly.

“The tiger stood in the way as if to warn that someone was coming to ambush him.”

Supoj's words made everyone stand silently.

Around 10 p.m., police from the city along with a doctor came to the scene. Inspect the scene, take photographs, record all information in detail and take the bodies of the two dead people to the hospital.

Lieutenant Supoj asked to drive a motorbike to take Somwang back home to the mango grove at almost 11:00 p.m.

The whole area of ​​the house fell into darkness and silence. Lieutenant Supoj carried Somwang into the house.

“I will keep you company here tonight.”

Somwang nodded and picked up a shirt from the closet and walked into the bathroom.

“You can take a shower.”

Somwang handed a new set of clothes to Lieutenant Supoj who was sleeping on the sofa.

The hot coffee smells delicious. Somwang is in pajamas sitting on the sofa with Lieutenant Supoj. after shower Drinking hot coffee makes both of you feel refreshed and energetic.

“Have you ever been afraid of living in a big house alone?”

“I am never afraid, but sometimes I feel lonely.”

Lieutenant Suphot picked up his coffee and took a sip, but his eyes stared at Somwang's face sitting in front of him as if he had some questions.

“What do you want to ask?”

“Have you ever had a boyfriend?”

“It used to be many years ago. Now he has a wife.”

“Your heart has turned its back on love.”

There was no answer from Somwang. Lieutenant Supoj got up and moved his body to sit next to Somwang.

“Please sit a little closer.”

Lieutenant Supoj sat until he was close to Somwang's body. The girl's body odor floated up to his touch.

Somwang sat still, but in his heart there was only turmoil. For many years since his father and mother passed away, he had to be alone in this house. No one had ever come to sit and be a friend by his side like now and the events of the previous evening. The shock and terror has not yet disappeared. Turning to look at Lieutenant Supoj, he saw a face and eyes that were already staring.

“What are you looking at?”

“How do you look at a woman named Somwang?”

The wind from the edge of the field late at night blew two strong gusts. Three times coming through the window caused Somwang to wrap his shoulders in the cold.

“I still guarantee that I will always take care of your safety as a friend by your side.”

Lieutenant Supoj spoke slowly and used his arms to pull Somwang's body into an embrace.

"What will you do"

Somwang said and tried to move away from his arms.

"I won't let go."

Lieutenant Supoj whispered in Somwang's ear and then touched the woman's right cheek with his nose.

From the loneliness of being alone long enough to be held by strong arms. Warmth from the chest and body It made me wish I had no strength to resist or push. The more I touched the kiss on my cheek, I didn't have the strength to resist. The blood in my body was pumping harder every day.

The cheeks were touched several more times and Somwang's arms hugged Supoj's body.

“I promise you the same.”

Lieutenant Supoj's hands caressed the body of Somwang, who was bent in his arms, then Somwang's body was carried into a nearby bedroom.

“I love Fulfillment the most.”

These are the soft whispered words of the Suphot category.

"Don't lie and get your hopes up."

Every piece of clothing the two wore had been removed.

The morning after Somnuek and Lanthom woke up from their bedroom, it was a refreshing morning. And it was the first night that Lanthom asked permission from Elder Moo to sleep over at Somnuek's house without caring what anyone would think of it. Elder Moo and everyone understand and understand Somnuek.

Somnuk walked past the shelf with the red talisman cloth and thought of Lieutenant Supoj's words last night, so he walked to stand in front of the shelf where there was a Lanthom standing with arm armor.

“What are you wondering about?”

Somnuek didn't answer, picked up the tray from the shelf and placed it on a nearby table, then unwrapped the cloth amulet until he found a nose with whiskers attached to it.

“This is the striped tiger nose the monk gave me.”

Lanthom stood and swallowed as if he was afraid something was clinging tightly to Somnuek's arm.

“There are blood stains on the edge of the talisman.”

Lanthom said while pointing at the edge of the talisman cloth that had blood stains on it.

Somnuk looked at Lanthom's face in shock.

“It means that the gunman last night was attacked by Lai.”

Lanthom spoke in a trembling voice.

“It's okay, don't think too much. We'd better get to work."

Somnuk wrapped the cloth amulet as usual and placed it on the shelf. Take Lanthom and walk down from the house. After taking a shower, cooking rice, eating a full meal, driving a motorcycle and heading to school.

Since Somnuk and Somwang brought villagers' rice to sell at a mill in the city. This caused the owner of the lease to lose income from the profits from buying rice from Don Phayom villagers. As the days passed, the more and more the villagers believed in Somnuek's words. On the contrary, Master Seng and Hom hate Somnuek more and more every day, including Yu, another smuggler who also hates them.

The rice mill owned by Mr. Seng had to stop milling rice because the father and son were suspected of stealing motorcycles in the areas of Ban Don Phayom and Ban Dong Mamuang. They were also suspected of sending a gunman to shoot Lieutenant Supoj and Phuman Somwang. subject

As dusk approached in the area of ​​Ban Dong Mamuang, villagers returned from the rice fields and prepared dinner as usual like every day.

“Pad”

Lieutenant Supoj drove his motorcycle and parked in front of Somwang's house.

Since the incident where a criminal secretly shot himself and Somwang, the young lieutenant fell in love with the beautiful village headman of Ban Dong Mamuang, so he came to Ban Dong Mamuang almost every day.

“Do you have food to eat?”

.Lieutenant Supoj said and walked with a smile into the kitchen where he saw Somwang cooking food in the kitchen alone.

“Come here so often, don't you go out and inspect other houses?”

"No, let's come and inspect Elder Somwang's house."

Lieutenant Suphot hugged Somwangtee's waist who was standing cutting vegetables.

"If you don't, someone will see you."

Lieutenant Suphot helped Somwang finish cooking.

“Whoa!”

The dog next door barked as if he saw something unusual. Darkness enveloped the whole place.

“Dogs normally don't bark like this.”

“Woof.”

Several dogs near the house barked violently at the same time.

“What are you barking at?”

Somwang scolded that the dog got up from the dining table and walked out to the front of the house, but Lieutenant Suphot grabbed Somwang's arm and pulled him to sit down as usual, signaling him to be quiet.

Lieutenant Suphot pulled out a gun from his waist and held it in his hand, then walked and hid in the shadows of a large pillar near the door of the house.

(Please follow the next episode)

Chapter 8

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the house's fence line Hom and his four subordinates were silently lurking. Everyone holds a gun in their hand. Lieutenant Suphot's figure was in everyone's sight from the first time he walked over.

Lieutenant Supoj had a premonition that there were many pairs of eyes watching him, so he walked over and squatted down, taking refuge in a large oil tank nearby. Immediately, his eyes saw some light reflecting from the fence line. So he tried to focus through the darkness for a long time until he vaguely saw a light reflecting off the watch face of a lurking figure. And there were many more bodies nearby.

Turning to look at Somwang, he saw him still sitting in a chair next to the dining table, so he signaled to put out the fire in the house and hurriedly crouched down on the ground.

The lights in the house went out.

Lieutenant Suphot turned to look at the security line again and vaguely saw that every figure was still lurking in the same place, so he got up and ran out towards the ylang-ylang arch in front of the house.

“Bang bang!”

The sound of gunfire rang out from the fence along with the figure of Lieutenant Suphot who was running and lurching headlong into the shadows of the ylang-ylang arch.

“Oh, it shoots so accurately.”

Lieutenant Suphot muttered softly to himself as he rubbed his left hand over his left calf. He felt wet, so he knew he had been shot. But his quick eyes saw a faint shadow moving towards the ylang-ylang arch where he was hiding.

“Bang bang!”

The gun in Lieutenant Supoj's hand rang out until the magazine was empty as three figures ran, lurching headlong, lying silently on the ground.

“Come in, you guys.”

Lieutenant Suphot growled in his throat as he finished changing the magazine.

“My brother and a friend were shot.”

His subordinate, Hom, who was crouching next to him, said in shock.

"Oh, you and your friend hurriedly retreated and told the rest to follow."

Not long after the two subordinates crawled back, the rest crawled over and lay down beside Hom.

“Take care of the platoon. I saw him being shot and hiding in the ylang-ylang booth over there.”

Lieutenant Supoj now felt that his throat was dry and weak. The hand that was gripping the pistol was wet with sweat. He realized that he must have lost a lot of blood, so he tore the hem of his shirt and tied the wound on his calf.

Hom turned to look towards the house and saw that it was still in darkness and silence, so he nudged his subordinates to hurry and deal with Lieutenant Supoj.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa.”

The dog barked incessantly and now there were several lights of villagers heading towards the house of Elder Somwang.

“Let's hurry and get it.”

Hom whispered to his subordinates and immediately crawled towards the ylang-ylang arch.

“Bang!”

The gun in Lieutenant Supoj's hand rang out again until the last magazine was empty.

"I'm dead, I ran out of bullets."

Lieutenant Supoj muttered to himself with a light feeling.

At the same time, the window on the upper floor of the house opened slowly and silently. The barrels of a five-shot twin-slide shotgun were slid out against the window sill.

The warrior-blooded elders could clearly see the events on the front yard below. and saw Hom and his subordinates crowding around to eat at the table of Lieutenant Suphot who was lying on the floor in the ylang-ylang booth.

“Pong!”

The shotgun in Somwang's hand rang out five times in a row until the slide was completely empty, along with a new batch of bullets being fully loaded into the slide.

At the sound of Somwang's volleyball gun, Lieutenant Supoj's feelings suddenly disappeared. Hom and his subordinates were hit by shotgun pellets.

"Oh my gosh, we all got shot."

“Oh, I was right too. Hurry and escape, the villagers are already flocking together.”

Hom and his subordinates quickly fled from the front yard.

“Pong!”

Another set of shotguns in Somwang's hand rang out as the body of the person running behind fell headlong and lay on the ground.

"What's wrong with the adults?"

The villagers who arrived shouted in concern.

The lights in the house turned on. Somwang ran out of the house and went straight to the ylang-ylang booth and found Lieutenant Supoj's body lying unconscious, blood flowing all over the floor.

“Categories”

Somwang shouted and shook Lieutenant Supoj's body, but there was no answer.

“One adult was shot and injured here.”

The villagers shouted in shock.

"Hey, get a car and take the injured person to the doctor quickly."

A few minutes later, Lieutenant Supoj and Hom's subordinates were immediately taken to the hospital.

Since the first gunshot sounded at Somwang's house, it had reached Somnuek's house in the same field. The four men who were hiding silently in the bamboo grove behind the house looked at each other. That was a signal to everyone to take care of collecting their memories immediately.

Somnuk sat on a mat under the house, walked out into the middle of the courtyard, turned to look towards Somwang's house, where he heard the sound of gunfire.

“Who shot the gun at Ban Dong Mamuang?”

"We'd better hurry up and get home. It's getting dark."

Lanthom who walked out of the bathroom said and turned to look towards the bamboo grove behind the house.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Just now I heard what sounded like several people walking behind the house.”

Somnuk pulled out a gun from his waist and gripped it tightly. Then his eyes saw the figures of several people holding guns running from the bamboo grove towards where he stood.

“Lanthom is here.”

Somnuk called out. Lanthom ran and stood behind Somnuk.

The gun in his hand was raised and aimed at the figure that was running toward him.

“Bang bang”

The gun in Somnuek's hand rang out several times in succession.

“Bang bang”

The sound of gunfire came from the three guys running towards them. Somnuk felt a tingling sensation in his left calf, causing him to collapse on the ground. Lanthom hurried to support him.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang

Somnuk steeled himself and raised the gun in his hand and shot at the three people who were still running towards him until the bullets ran out.

"Is this it? Somnuek is so easy to keep."

The man running ahead spoke breathlessly. Ready to raise the gun in hand and stare at Somnuk and Lanthom.

“Who sent you guys to gather rice?”

“If you're going to die, I'll tell you to make merit. Well, I'm kissing the boss's son. Eng pushes him to compete with his lover's girl.

"Who said I'm a fan of Hom?"

Lanthom shouted in a harsh voice.

“I don't know, he ordered me to collect it and I had to collect it. Oh, there's another story about you and Mrs. Somwang taking rice to sell to the mill in town."

“Then there was the sound of gunfire coming from Ban Dong Mamuang just now.”

"Oh, yes, Brother Hom has taken his subordinates to collect the elders."

“You bastard.”

Somnuk finished speaking and jumped at the person he was talking to.

“Tap”

Its right shin slammed into Somnuek's right ribcage, sending him flying to the ground.

“Keep it”

The small blade in Lantom's hand flickered towards the face of the person who had kicked Somnuek until he was covered in blood.

"Tap oh"

His right shin slammed into his abdomen with such force that the knife flew out. along with Lanthom's body lying next to Somnuek

“Hey, let's hurry up and deal with it, or the villagers will come and it will be a mess.”

Finishing his words, the barrels of all three guns were raised and aimed at Somnuk and Lanthom who were lying on the ground.

“Holy shit.”

A roar sounded from the top of the stairs. The three gunmen looked at each other at the same time.

"Hey Tiger"

"The tiger shot."

“Bang bang!”

All the guns rang out in unison until they ran out of bullets, but the big tiger still stood with its fangs bared as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, is that okay?"

“Why are you staying so fast?”

“Hook”

The Lai leapt quickly towards the three gunmen. Fangs and claws clawed at the three people's throats in a matter of seconds. Their bodies twitched on the ground and soon stopped.

“Thank you very much”

Somnuek said in shock. Lanthom himself has the same symptoms as Somnuek. Ai Lai walked to stand in front of Somnuek and used his tongue to lick the area of ​​his left calf where he had been shot.

Within a few moments, as Lai licked Somnuek's wound, the pain disappeared and there were no more signs of a wound.

“Thank you very much”

Somnuk spoke softly as he rubbed Ai Lai's head with his hand. Lanthom boldly stroked Ai Lai's head with his hand.

“Pad”

Many motorcycles came rushing in.

Ek - Cherd and Sucha along with several other villagers drove their motorcycles into the yard in front of the house, where Somnuek - Lanthom and Ai Lai were standing.

“That thing is a tiger.”

Cherd said in shock, including everyone who saw Ai Lai.

"Hey, I thought there was someone lying on the floor. Many of them looked as if they had been attacked."

Donna said in shock.

“Everyone, don't be frightened by Lai. It was Lai who saved me and Lanthom tonight.”

“Well, this is the pattern that Aek and I ran away from this house into the field once before.”

“Okay, I guarantee that Lai Lai will never hurt anyone except bad people. Let's go outside first."

Somnuk finished speaking and Ai Lai walked away and disappeared towards the bamboo grove.

It was almost 10 p.m. when the police team went to inspect the scene. From Elder Somwang's house, he came to Somnuek's house and took the bodies of the three bastards to the hospital.

A week had passed and Lieutenant Suphot's gunshot wound had healed. All the past events had made the young Lieutenant worried about his young lover, fearing that the assailants would come back to attack him again.

1 p.m. Lan Thom with Sucha Currently teaching children at Ban Don Phayom School. Lieutenant Supoj drove his motorcycle and parked in front of the school.

"P'Suphot"

Lanthom and Sucha said they were happy to see their brother coming.

“Coming to Ban Don Phayom School today, there must be something special.”

Lanthom said as he invited his brother to sit in the mushroom arch in front of the school.

“Drink cold water first.”

Sucha walked in holding a glass of cold water.

“Thank you very much, Su.”

“Now you have turned to using motorcycles? And where has love with adults been fulfilled?”

“Which question do you want me to answer first?”

“Answer every question. Lanthom wants to know too.”

“Then I will tell you about it later. But where is Somnuek now?”

“Look at the vegetable patch behind the school. I'll just go after him."

Lanthom got up and walked towards the back of the school. Lieutenant Supoj looked after his younger sister until she turned the corner of the school building.

“Is Somnuek a good person? And do you really love Lanthom?”

Lieutenant Supoj finished speaking and looked at Sucha's younger sister.

“I'd rather hear it from Lanthom himself. They've both come over there."

Lieutenant Supoj turned to look. Saw Somnuk and Lanthom walking straight in.

“Hello, Lieutenant.”

"Oh, Somnuek, brother or lieutenant, make sure of something."

"Then I'll call you."

“Okay, OK.”

Lanthom and Sucha exchanged glances.

“Alright, let's get to the important matter.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Lanthom - Sucha, we both have to know about what you're going to say next.”

Lieutenant Suphot informed the three of them that the authorities were now tracking down a group of criminals suspected of stealing motorcycles in the areas of Ban Don Phayom and Ban Dong Mamuang, as well as a group of gunmen who attacked the elders Somwang and Cherd and others. major

"Now, are you suspicious of anyone?"

Somnuk asked and turned to look into Lanthom's eyes for a moment, to which Lanthom shook his head slowly. It was like a request not to talk about the whole thing. About the villain who talks about his mastermind Hom. Somnuk knew and understood Lanthom because it meant not reserving karma for each other.

"For now, I'd like to keep it closed. If there's definite evidence, when will I let you know?"

“Hello Lieutenant, since when?”

Cherd, who walked from behind the health station, said hello.

“Sit before you lift up.”

"thank you"

"Cherd is the same. Now there's news that he's flirting with Sucha, right?"

It was a blunt and direct question but left Cherd speechless.

"Yes, I love Sucha."

“So, is Sucha Larakcherd?”

“Yes, P'Pot.”

Sucha said shyly.

"It's okay. I really want to love my sister."

The uncomfortable atmosphere from Supoj's difficult questions caused everyone to utter meaningful answers.

Lanthom and Sucha were happy with the answer from the mouth of the person they loved and would entrust their lives to.

“Phi Poj, wherever you are, Su and Lanthom would like to ask about where their love with Somwang has gone."

It was a question that Sucha asked Mr. Supoj to the point where he had to sit and smile.

"What do you say? Brother Lanthom wants to know as well."

"Oh, brothers and sisters, you have a great time riding goats."

“I want to know too. It's also fulfilling as being friends with Cherd and me."

“The short answer is that everything is sweet.”

Lieutenant Supoj sat and talked for a while, ordering Somnuek to keep an eye on strangers who would enter the area of ​​Ban Don Phayom because they might be criminals sneaking in to watch everyone's movements. and also leaves a message to his beloved sister, Sucha.

Lieutenant Suphot drove his motorcycle and turned towards Ban Dong Mamuang a long time ago. The four youths were still sitting at the mushroom booth talking as if they were planning something.

In a multi-storey condo in the middle of the city, relax on the beach, two hundred kilometers from Ban Don Phayom. In large rooms, turn on the air conditioner until cool.

Tao Kae Seng, Hom, Yut and Op, all four of them, have been staying at this condo for almost a month after having to dodge a summons to report to the police station in the case of robbery, attempted murder of an official and buying a motorbike. Stole it There is evidence related to the criminal that Lieutenant Supoj arrested while breaking into a car in the mall. There is also more evidence seized from the warehouse behind the mill.

“Now the police have closed the mill.”

Boss Zeng said tensely.

“I think if we put too much pressure on us, we will break the deadlock.”

"Yes boss, what do you want now? I'll take it too."

"You see? Sometimes our leases get into a dead end. We have to cut through the dead end."

Boss Zeng looked into the eyes of his dear friend Yut.

"Oh, that's a shame. People, when they can't be good people, they become villains."

Boss Zeng pressed the cigarette into his lungs forcefully, then slowly and slowly let the smoke out of his mouth and nose.

It's like thinking.

Yut calmly raised his glass of wine and sipped it, then looked at Hom and Op who were sitting next to him until they both raised their liquor and sipped it as well.

"I'll take my friend."

The old man spoke up, annoyed.

"Then let's take revenge on Somnuk first. He's a good introduction to the villagers."

“Uncle Yut, I suspect that Ni Nut might have something good to protect himself because many of us died at his house without any evidence.”

"It's okay. Now Uncle will send his skilled subordinates to observe first."

Chapter 9

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a pickup truck with three strange young men loaded with daily household items in the back of the pickup truck pulled up and parked in front of the shop at the ring that was occupied by several customers.

"Come on, parents and siblings. Today we have many things to offer for you to stop admiring and guarantee that the price is not expensive."

The voice of a man standing in the back of a pickup truck spoke through a small microphone held in his hand.

Many male and female villagers walked over to pick up the merchandise on the truck and looked at it with interest.

"Here you go. Knife, sickle, rake, hoe, pickaxe. Cheapest price from the factory."

The same young man spoke loudly all the time.

“How much is a harvesting sickle, brother?”

An old man riding a bicycle passed by.

“Two hundred volumes, Uncle.”

“Why is it so cheap, little one?”

"Oh, my uncle picked it up straight from the factory."

Elder Pig's question caused many villagers to choose products that they liked.

“Little brat, this person is a big man.”

Sangwan walked out of the shop with interest and spoke to the three young merchants.

"Hello, elders. I would like to ask for permission to sell things in the village."

The three young men raised their hands in salutation to Elder Pig at the same time.

"Oh, no problem. Where do you come from?"

"I'm from Bangkok. I like the trading profession."

“Wait!”

Lanthom and Somnuk drove their motorcycles back from school and stopped to look at the products.

“What are you buying, Uncle Phu Yai?”

“Well, it's good to come. Take a look at the products on the car. There are many things that are not expensive.”

Lanthom picked up a small plastic basket that held face powder and a comb and many other items that women liked.

From the life of a man who has spent time in the military There was something suspicious about the appearance of the three young men.

Somnuk walked around to the front of the car with the windows locked and no one was there. Various stickers plastered on the windshield indicate that this car has traveled to many provinces. Then his eyes fell on three compact black boxes on the ground to his left.

From past life experiences, one can remember that the black box was a firearms container.

I glanced at the three young men who were selling things in the back of the car and made eye contact with one of the three who turned to look at me.

“If you want to buy something, it's better to come from the back.”

Somnuk went to look at the merchandise in the back of the car as usual.

Many products sell quickly. But there are still many things left on the car.

“Adults, my friend and I would like to stay at the adults' house for a few nights. There are still a lot of products left.”

Elder Moo stood and looked at the three men's faces, then turned to look at Somnuek who was standing nearby.

“Uncle, you can stay at the temple for now. Your father probably doesn't mind.”

"Oh, well then, Uncle, I'll let you take care of it for me."

“Yes, Uncle.”

At 5:00 p.m. Somnuk drove his motorcycle to take the three young men to Wat Don Phayom, whereupon the monk allowed everyone to stay at the large sermon hall in front of the temple.

The next day, the three young men drove from house to house selling their products. in Ban Don Phayom and Ban Dong Mamuang In particular, the home of Somwang's elders is a place where his characteristics are remembered. The entrance door is well preserved.

“Are you sure that the adult in question is still single and living alone?”

The man driving the car asked his two friends sitting in the seats next to him.

“Yes, I have asked from the villagers.”

“Then let's go sell things at Phu Yai Moo's house.”

Finished speaking, the driver turned the car into Don Phayom Village, going straight to Phu Yai Moo's house.

Just after noon, a car stopped in front of Phu Yai Moo's house.

“Hello, adults.”

Three men said in unison when they saw Elder Pig sitting alone on a mat in front of the house.

"Oh, hello, let's sit and have a drink first."

“We must thank the elders for letting us stay at the village.”

"It's okay. People just make a living."

“Is an adult home alone?”

“Normally there are three people, but now Cherd and Sucha go to work at school.”

Finishing the words of the elders among the three young men, their eyes met for a moment.

After chatting politely for a while, the three young men excused themselves, saying that they would stop by to give things to the school.

At the school, Somnuek Cherd is helping to replace an old, decaying gate in front of the school. A pickup truck pulled up and parked near the two people.

“Whose car is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before.”

“A peddler came from your father's city and asked him to stay at the temple.”

“Hello Mr. Somnuk”

“Yes, hello, this is my friend.”

“Hello, Mr. Cherd.”

Somnuk welcomed the three young men at the mushroom arch in front of the school. Lanthom and Sucha walked from the classroom building and joined in a conversation until everyone knew each other quite well.

“Today, my friends and I intend to bring spades, spades, and knives to donate to the school.”

"thank you very much Come donate like this, won't you lose money?"

Sucha asked.

“No, because there are some items that the company gives away.”

All the while sitting in the conversation, Somnuk tried to observe the three men. The more I looked at it, the three men didn't look like the merchants, especially the eyes that stared at Lanthom and Sucha.

After donating many things to the school, the three boys asked to leave.

“Ched Eng, do you really think these are merchants?”

“I saw them well, I thought. Is it true? Lantha - Sucha"

“True, Brother Cherd.”

“Well, everyone, please keep an eye on it.”

At 9:00 p.m. in Wat Don Phayom, both monks and novices were quiet. On the large pavilion where the three men lived, a single neon light was still lit. There were no bodies of the three men, only a mosquito net and a mattress that had been spread out. A pickup truck was parked in the basement of the pavilion.

Meanwhile, at the gate of the house of Patriarch Somwang of Ban Dong Mamuang Three black-robed figures had been lurking silently for nearly an hour. When you see that people in the house turn off the lights and go to sleep In the ground floor room of the house and several nearby residents

Seeing that every house had turned off the lights and gone to bed, the three figures turned and nodded to each other. One figure took a long plastic straw from his trouser pocket, slowly lit a cigarette in his hand, smoked until the smoke came out, and then blew out the straw several times in succession. The smoke that was emitted from the straw floated on the wind into the house of Somwang's elders until all the cigarettes were gone and the whole house was still in darkness and silence.

“Grack”

The door to Elder Somwang's bedroom opened easily and gently. The three figures rushed over and carried the body of Somwang, an unconscious adult, who walked out of the house and disappeared into the darkness without anyone seeing.

Somnuk was tossing and turning on the bed tonight. Something was making him unable to sleep, unlike Lanthom who had been sleeping soundly since the early evening.

The cigarette was lit until the smoke drifted in the gentle breeze. I turned to look around and there was only darkness and silence. Looking towards the gate, I saw a rice field that was clear from the soft moonlight. There appeared several shadows walking in the middle of the field. Somnuek shook his head as if he couldn't believe his own eyes, so he got up and walked out into the front yard of the house and looked out into the middle of the field, but the shadow he saw just now did not appear.

“Are we crazy? Are we blindsided?”

The cigarette in his hand was thrown out and dropped to the floor, then he turned and walked back into the house.

In the morning, Lieutenant Supoj drove his motorcycle to the house of Somwang Headman early in the morning because he had a dream last night that the girl he loved was very sick. When I arrived home, I couldn't find him. I looked in the house and there was none. I asked the villagers who lived next door and everyone didn't see them.

“Do the adults have a date with anyone anywhere?”

Lieutenant Supoj asked the elderly man standing next to him.

"Nothing, the platoon. The elders made an appointment to help harvest the rice this morning."

“Uncle, come quickly and see this spotted guy and this black guy.”

A man's voice said that he saw two dogs belonging to Somwang adults lying beside the house. Everyone went to look.

"Hey, this dog was poisoned."

The elderly man who was speaking with Lieutenant Suphot said in shock and turned to look at Lieutenant Supoj.

For nearly an hour, Lieutenant Supoj and the villagers worked together to find traces until they found many hiking shoe prints both in the house and along the fence line. They saw that the shoe prints were headed down the rice field towards Don Phayom Village, so everyone left. Follow the footsteps of your shoes.

For nearly an hour, Lieutenant Supoj and the villagers walked in the middle of the rice field and the footprints that appeared on the rice field disappeared.

"What should I do, Lieutenant?"

The villagers asked

"This is in the middle of the field of Ban Don Phayom and near Somnuek's house. Let's go and ask."

. After a long time, Lieutenant Supoj and the villagers walked up to Somnuek's house and found that Somnuek and Lanthom were about to go out of the house.

"P'Phot, what's going on? There's a lot of people here."

"I have some business to do with Nut Mun."

"Oh, P'Phot has something to say, so don't be considerate."

"Last night Somwang was kidnapped from home. There were signs that the culprit brought him through this way."

Somnuek listened to Lieutenant Suphot's story and remembered that last night he saw as if there were many people walking in the middle of the field near the front of his house, so he told Lieutenant Supoj the story.

"Is it true or a fantasy? If so, where do you think the villain will take his hopes?"

Somnuek looked towards Ban Dong Mamuang and then looked towards the middle of the rice field in front of the house. His eyes slowly looked until he saw a large sermon hall that was seen on the other side of the field. Sure enough, some thoughts arose.

“I think I know some truths.”

“What truth do you think?”

“Yes, sir, now let us go to the temple first.”

Lanthom drove his motorcycle to school alone. Somnuk immediately took Lieutenant Supoj and the villagers to walk across the field to the temple.

Reverend Father, who had just returned from collecting alms, saw Somnuek and many villagers walking across the field towards the temple, so he walked out and stood in front of the hut.

“Where are you going?”

“Worship, Father.”

“Prosperity, everyone.”

“Reverend Father, are the three men still staying at the temple?”

“Still here, staying in the big pavilion over there.”

The monk walked in front of everyone to the large pavilion. But when they reached the monk and everyone, they found nothing but emptiness. The mosquito net had been spread out and the three men were nowhere to be found. The pickup truck was not parked under the pavilion.

“Yesterday evening, I even saw them there.”

“It's okay, Reverend Father, because these three men I suspect are the culprits who kidnapped the elder Somwang. From Ban Dong Mamuang since last night.”

“I would like to ask everyone to bring Elder Somwang back safely.”

Somnuk and everyone bid farewell to the King as they walked out of the temple.

At the same time at Ban Don Phayom School Lanthom and Sucha stood training students at the flagpole in front of the school. There was a pickup truck driving into the school. The two recognized the car belonging to three vendors who had brought supplies to the school yesterday.

“Hello, Teacher Phuyai Moo has asked me to come pick up the two teachers for urgent business at home right now.”

Lanthom and Sucha looked at each other.

"Hurry up, the elder teacher is waiting."

The man driving the car spoke hurriedly again.

"Let's go and have some tea. The elder must have some business to do."

Lanthom and Sucha asked the students to sit and wait in the classroom, saying that Somnuk and Cherd would come take care of them instead. As for the two teachers, they were going to do business at Uncle Phuyai Moo's house, and then they got in the car and ran out of the school.

The loud car with Sucha sitting Not long after running out of the school, Phuyai Moo, Somnuek, Cherd, Aek and Lieutenant Supoj drove their motorcycles into the school and from the accounts of the students, it was said that Lanthom and Sucha rode in the pickup truck of three men to go to their house on business. Uncle Phu Yai Moo

“How could he go to my house on business? I didn't even tell them.”

“Father, or Lanthom and Sucha were kidnapped by them again?”

Elder Moo listened as he spoke with a heavy heart.

“In this way, I think that's right, uncle.”

Lieutenant Supoj said worriedly about the two sisters.

“We need to quickly track down where they took Lanthom and Sucha and why, Father.”

It was almost noon that Somnuek drove his motorcycle back to the house, worried about Lanthom. Found a letter inserted into the front door of the house. After reading it, I realized that it was a letter asking for a ransom for Somwang - Lanthom - and Sucha in the amount of three million baht. By making an appointment to take the money to ransom the person in the area of ​​an abandoned house in the forest at the edge of the field.

of Ban Don Phayom tonight at midnight. Do not report to the police.

. “You guys dare step on my heart.”

Somnuk said loudly in anger and drove his motorcycle straight to Phu Yai Phuman Moo's house.

“Alright, now we have to work together to come up with a plan to help the three people. Then I will radio and ask for police from the city to come help.”

Lieutenant Supoj told everyone.

“And how will we get the three million prize money?”

“That's a very good question, Donna. Regarding the money, I radioed and informed the police station that it had been prepared.”

“Shall we go look at the deserted house, sir?”

“Of course Somnuek, then just the four of us will go. If you go too far, they'll realize it."

In the area of ​​the abandoned house in the forest on the edge of the field is a large house next to the road away from people's houses. Lonely, planted in a dense grove of trees and still on the edge of a field. Inside the house, there was nothing but emptiness and no one. The two-story wooden house is in a dilapidated condition.

“Where did the owner of the house go?”

"Thieves robbed and killed the entire family many years ago. Now Wat Don Phayom is taking care of it."

Lieutenant Supoj listened to Somnuek's story and went to inspect the house, finding only emptiness.

“We'd better leave this house quickly.”

Since the news that the kidnapping had happened Elder Pig conscripted villagers with whatever weapons he could find and prepared to rescue the hostages tonight.

“Now Teacher Lanthom and Doctor Sucha and Elder Somwang of Ban Dong Mamuang have been kidnapped by thieves. We're going to help each other tonight. Is there anyone unwilling to go along?”

Every villager was willing to help the three people tonight.

At 7 p.m. at the three-way intersection leading to Nong Pla Mor Market, two black pickup trucks were parked on the shoulder of the road. Tao Kae Seng - Yut and Hom were sitting in the front sedan. There were ten armed men sitting in the back of the pickup truck. The other car has Baked with the driver sitting in the front sedan. There were ten men sitting in the back of a pickup truck.

“Brün”

Another six-wheeled truck came to a stop behind the car in which Oab and his subordinates were sitting. The only driver who came opened the car door, walked over and spoke a few words to Boss Zeng, then walked back and got into the car.

"Brunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

All three cars started their engines and raced along the road heading towards Nong Pla Mo Market to Ban Don Phayom.

Lanthom - Sucha and Somwang had their hands tied behind their backs and had a cloth stuffed over their mouths, sitting huddled in the back of a pickup truck together with ten young men.

Chapter 10

At 9:00 p.m., all three cars reached the intersection into Ban Don Phayom. The car in which the owner of the car was sitting ran and turned along the road, heading towards the abandoned house that he had arranged with Somnuk. The other two vehicles turned into Ban Don Phayom, where now there were only elderly people, women, and children at home.

Many motorcycles parked in the house are cheap. Ob and his subordinates used guns to force and lift dozens of six-wheeled trucks without resistance. Any family that resists will be attacked and beaten until they have to give in.

Since the three cars passed by Nong Pla Mo Market Dozens of police had set up roadblocks blocking the road. There were also dozens of soldiers driving towards Ban Don Phayom.

“Don Phayom from Indriya Plien”

A police captain with the rank of captain who was sitting in the front of the police car that was approaching Ban Don Phayom contacted the radio and called for Lieutenant Supoj.

"Where have you gone from Don Phayom? Change."

Lieutenant Supoj answered the radio.

"From Organic, now it has separated into Ban Don Phayom. Changed."

"From organic knowledge to change"

After a while, Lieutenant Supoj met with the senior police officer who had led the force on this mission. Received the wallet used to redeem the hostages. And he also knew that there were dozens of villains, more than he thought. Weapons are used in a deadly way. The commander sent forces to support Somnuk - Cherd and Ek were introduced to a police officer with the rank of captain.

Midnight fell into darkness and silence throughout the abandoned house.

Somnuk walked into the front of an abandoned house with a bag containing three million baht.

“Three million ransom money has arrived.”

Everything was still silent after Somnuek shouted.

“Put the wallet down and walk backwards.”

There was a voice speaking from inside the house.

“And the hostages?”

"Well, I should get the money and I'll release it as promised."

Somnuek placed his wallet on the floor and walked back out of the front of the house.

Meanwhile, the area behind the house was deserted. Boss Seng and all his subordinates. The three hostages were kept quiet in the forest.

"I've got the wallet."

A man carrying a wallet enters an abandoned house and talks to Hom, who is standing guard with a gun. Then the two of them ran and disappeared into the back of the house.

“The money has already arrived.”

“Let's go, we'd better run quickly than take hostages with us.”

These were Yut's words, spoken fluently like he had gone through a lot of work.

“Grack”

The sound of branches snapping sounded like someone had stepped on them.

“Hey, you two, go look. The rest hurry up.”

Following Yut's words, the two subordinates walked towards the place where the sound was heard.

In the shadows of the trees Cherd and Ek stood quietly. Saw Yut's two subordinates walking closer.

“Pooh.”

Cherd and Ek slammed the pieces of wood in their hands into the two men's heads so hard that they lay silently on the floor.

Some instinct told Yut that there were dire events awaiting him and his subordinates. So he ordered his ten subordinates to form a line and stay behind.

“Proud!”

The sound of rapid gunfire came from his subordinates.

“Bang bang”

The sound of gunfire from the police immediately responded. Both sides were hit by bullets.

“Bang bang”

The sound of the guns of the captain and his subordinates flanking Yut's subordinates opened the decisive fire. Soon everyone died.

“Is something wrong with any of us?”

The captain asked his subordinates after the clash.

“Six of us were hit by bullets.”

“Quickly take the injured person to the hospital.”

At the entrance to the village, Phu Yai Moo and four other villagers were walking around checking order and were startled when they heard the first gunshots fired by Yut's subordinates at the captain and his subordinates.

“Brün”

Along with a truck coming out of the village, he waved to stop.

“Proud!”

There was the sound of gunfire coming from a truck that had slowed to a stop. The bodies of Elder Pig and all the villagers collapsed to the ground.

“Pong”

The shotgun in Elder Pig's hand rang out once, causing a hole in the front of the car. The car took off and ran quickly.

The police team at the checkpoint heard gunshots and saw the lights of cars coming out of the village, so they signaled to park their cars.

"Hey, the police are setting up a checkpoint in front."

The truck driver spoke to another friend sitting in the left seat.

“Break the checkpoint.”

The car moves slowly towards the checkpoint. Several police officers stood in the middle of the road until a car stopped in front of them.

“We dodged quickly.”

One police officer shouted when he saw bullet holes in the front of the sedan and saw the muzzles of guns protruding from both doors.

“Proud!”

Both M16 guns rang out at the same time and several policemen's bodies fell to the ground.

“Proud!”

The M16 sound in the hand of one police officer went off until the car's front window was completely smashed. The driver and his friend received bullets all over their heads and the car jerked and stopped in its tracks.

“Help us get the injured person to the hospital quickly.”

A police car rushed out of the checkpoint to quickly take the injured person to the hospital. There were two policemen guarding the checkpoint.

"Hurry up, Daddy's already following me."

Yut told his subordinates who were walking with the three hostages.

"Hey, if the hostages delay, just kill them."

Hom shouted until everyone looked at him angrily.

"I told you to fall in love with this guy, but he didn't believe me and ended up falling in love with a young farmer's guy."

Hom used his hand to caress Lanthom's face and tossed her hair vigorously. The cloth tied around her mouth was pulled until Lanthom's gasping was heard.

"Psychopath"

“Shout and these bastards will fight you.”

Yut continued to walk ahead of everyone, heading into the forest without stopping.

"Hey, I can't take it anymore Yut."

Boss Zeng spoke breathlessly.

“Bang!”

The sound of gunfire came from behind. Yut immediately knew that those following him were shooting at their subordinates who were watching their backs. Now there are only four subordinates left.

“I suspect it was the police following.”

“So what is the plan next?”

“Kill the hostages and quickly escape from here.”

"but"

“No, but Hom, hurry up and take action. The police are almost here.”

Yut said then turned and nodded to the four subordinates standing nearby.

“Help me please”.

Lanthom shouted at the top of his lungs and ran so fast that Yut's subordinates were not careful.

Somnuek, who was following him, heard and recognized the voice, so he listened and heard the sound of people running after each other.

"This one is very powerful. As soon as I catch her, I'll deal with it."

The two subordinates who were chasing after shouted and the two captured Lanthom.

“Beautiful like this, it's a shame that it had to be killed. It would be nice to come and give you a hug.”

The two of them caressed Lanthom who had her hands tied. Have fun together

“Help me please.”

“Kwap”

The sharp edge of the knife in Somnuk's hand cut into the throat of the person hugging Lanthom in front of him. Blood spurted out and his body fell to the ground, convulsing.

“Swap”

The blade pierced into the ribs of the other man who stood stunned behind Lanthom.

“Grumpy”

The right fist, clenched and tightened, slammed into Somnuek's chin with full force until he fell to the ground.

“Ugh, oh.”

Lanthom turned around, raised his right knee, and slammed the knife's handle with full force until it stuck completely into the hilt with a cry of pain, falling to the ground convulsing.

“Somnuek”

Lanthom called out to Somnuk until he regained consciousness after untying Lanthom. Somnuek led Lanthom to follow the sound he heard.

Lieutenant Supoj along with Cherd and Ek sneak up on Somwang and Sucha who are being held at gunpoint.

"It's a pity that a young, beautiful woman had to be killed."

“Jingle”

The gun in the hands of the two men cocked loudly.

“Pong!”

The guns in the hands of Lieutenant Supoj and Cherd went off at the same time, shooting at point-blank range, causing the two men to fall convulsingly on the ground.

“Somwang Sucha”

Lieutenant Supoj and Cherd called their loved ones' names with concern and then helped them untie them.

"Somnuk Lanthom"

Lieutenant Supoj said happily when he saw Somnuk walking in holding Lanthom's hand.

“It's okay now.”

Donna consoled everyone.

“Who said you guys are okay?”

“Proud!”

Yut Yuenjangka spoke in a fierce voice and pulled the M16 trigger in his hand at everyone.

Blood flowed from the bullet wound. Everyone lay on the ground breathing heavily. Somnuk was the only one who wasn't hit by the bullet because Lanthom's body was covering him.

“Bang!”

The pistol in Somnuk's hand fired two shots and Yut's body tilted.

“Proud!”

M16 in the martial arts team sounded another sound, Somnuk's body fell to the ground, blood flowing out, soaking his shirt.

“You are a mess and ready to die.”

Yut finished speaking and raised his M16 and aimed it at Somnuk's body lying on the ground.

"Don't kill Somnuek, I feel sorry for him."

Lanthom crawled over and hugged the legs of Yut who was standing.

“You shot me.”

Ek quickly rebounded and rushed towards Yut.

"Great"

Yut's right foot slammed into Ek's chin, causing him to fall asleep in mid-air.

“The other one, Lieutenant, today I came to find you and stood up to arrest you.”

“Pluew”

Lieutenant Supoj raised his right leg and swept Yut's legs hard until he fell to the ground.

"You Yut, you evil, bad-ass seller of illegal goods, today you will definitely stop."

Lieutenant Supoj grabbed Yut by the neck and squeezed hard.

“Ugh”

Yut raised his left knee and hit Lieutenant Suphot's stomach with full force until he released his hand from Yut's throat.

“Ugh.”

Yut slammed his short knee into Supoj's chest several more times.

"Phew"

Somwang, who raised himself to his feet, threw his hand at Yut's face until his head fell down.

“Proud!”

The sound of M16 in his martial arts hand sounded again until Somwang's entire body fell on his back, helpless to fight.

“You guys are attacking me here sometimes.”

Yut said angrily and changed the magazine.

"Bang"

The M16 in the martial arts team shot one by one. Each bullet ran into everyone's legs until they were helpless and lay on the ground.

“I think this time is for you.”

Som was shocked when he saw Yut staring at him with a gun, everyone praying for his friend's safety. Especially Lanthom, who was lying nearby, grabbed Somnuk's hand and held it tightly as if it were a sign that they would die together.

“Chae”

The sound of a gun trigger in a chopper's hand But the bullet side

“Clack.”

Yut pulled the slide lever again, took out the bullets in the chamber and put new bullets into the chamber.

“Is there something good? See how good it is.”

“Hoke”

A roar sounded from beside the grove of trees as the figure of Ai Lai stood with bloodshot eyes.

From the light of the waxing moon that shines Ai Lai's body looked formidable, white fangs shining in the moonlight.

“Proud!”

The M16 in the martial arts team roared as the bullets rushed towards the standing figure, but the bullets didn't seem to be able to hurt him at all.

“Hoke”

The Lai roared loudly with bloodshot eyes.

“Tiger Saming or you?”

Yut said with a fierce voice and removed the rosary bead from his neck and placed it on the gun barrel.

“Proud!”

M16 roared again.

“Hoke”

Lai roared in pain and his body bounced and lay on the ground near Lantom.

“Lai, get up and quickly take care of that mean person.”

For the first time, Lanthom rubbed his head and hugged Ai Lai with abandon. Somnuk's vision began to blur from the wound that had lost so much blood.

“There is no way, because right now my beads can overcome Ai Lai's curse.”

Yut said with satisfaction and pointed a gun at Somnuk and Lanthom.

“Did you see the tiger we saw on the night that the criminals were ambushed and shot?”

Lieutenant Suphot spoke weakly to Somwang.

Suddenly, a small silver takrud and a silver chain that hung around Lanthom's neck hung out of the collar and touched Ai Lai's nose. It used its tongue to lick as if it were thirsty.

Lanthom thought of the monk who had given this Takrud to Ai Lai who was lying in front of himself. Some false hopes arose.

“Father, Somnuek and everyone are in trouble.”

Lanthom immediately removed the necklace from his neck and put it on Ai Lai's.

“Proud!”

The M16 in the martial arts team rang out again, until the magazines were gone.

“Hoke”

Ai Lai stood up as the sound of gunfire rang out.

"You're okay."

“Hoke”

Yut said in horror, his eyes wide. At the same time, Lai leapt and slammed Yut's neck hard until his fangs were completely covered.

Fresh blood gushing.

For a long time, Ai Lai stood and sunk his fangs into Yut's neck, whose only arms and legs were now twitching.

“Hoke”

Another powerful roar sounded as Yut's body fell to the ground, red blood flowing down his throat.

“Thank you very much”

Lanthom said happily to Ai Lai who was standing and looking at everyone. Then it disappeared into the nearby forest.

“Bang!”

Hom and Boss Seng fired guns at the captain and his subordinates when everyone caught up with them.

“Bang!”

The captain pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand and shot two shots in quick succession, and the woman who was crouched next to the wooden stand was startled and fell face down on the ground, blood flowing from the bullet wound on the forehead.

Boss Seng saw his beloved son die in front of him and rushed to scoop him up and flip him into his arms.

“Sweetie, get up and talk to daddy.”

Boss Zeng talked and cried like a crazy person.

“I want to catch you.”

The captain spoke to make the boss of Zeng aware of it. Handcuffs were placed on the wrists of Master Zeng who surrendered.

In the morning, dozens of police officers went to clear the area of ​​the abandoned house and the area where the shooting occurred and found the bodies of more than ten attackers lying dead.

At the checkpoint, a truck with dozens of motorbikes stolen from Ban Don Phayom was seized and two criminals died in the front of the truck.

Elder Moo and the villagers who were all shot dead by the truck driver.

Several police officers were injured in the arrests.

Somnuk - Cherd - Ek - Lieutenant Supoj - Somwang - Lanthom and Sucha were taken to the hospital into the ICU room. Everyone was seriously injured, especially Lanthom.

The results of the arrest allowed the authorities to Stop the motorcycle thieves and send men to foreign traders, especially Yut, the big boss who the authorities are looking for. As for the owner of Seng, he had a mental illness and had to be admitted to a mental hospital and was arrested for theft by the police.

Three months passed and everyone was treated in the hospital until they recovered.

Somnuek - M.Suphot - Cherd, shortly after recovering from the hospital, proposed marriage to the woman he loved.

The province has considered approving the budget to build a police station at Ban Dong Mamuang. Lieutenant Supoj is the station leader.

Cherd was elected by the villagers of Don Phayam as village headman in place of his father, Phuyai Moo, who died.

Ek helps his parents sell merchandise and expands the shop without refusing to have a wife.

Somnuk and Somwang elders joined hands to open a mill at Ban Don Phayom. Buy rice from villagers in both villages at a fair price.

It has been almost a year since Somnuek and Lanthom lived together happily, and Ai Lai's shadow has never been seen again. All the villagers forgot about the tiger that had appeared. As well as helping to save the lives of many people.

“Missing Ai Lai”

Lanthom spoke to Somnuk while the two of them had just eaten a full dinner.

“Let's go look on the shelf.”

Somnuk took his beloved wife's hand and walked up the stairs to stand on the house in front of a shelf with a red cloth talisman wrapped on a tray. Lift the tray down and set it on a nearby table, removing the talisman cloth. When the talisman was removed, the two were startled and stood wide-eyed because what was wrapped in the cloth was not a tiger's nose like before. Instead, it was a silver necklace with a small silver takrud that was worn around the neck of Ai Lai on the night of the incident.

“That striped thing has gone back to Luang Phor.”

Finished speaking, Somnuek picked up the silver necklace and put it around his neck for Lanthom to kiss his beloved wife's cheek gently.

“If I had a daughter, would I name her Sri Ngern?

"good"

Somnuek wrapped the empty cloth amulet in a tray and placed it on the shelf as before, leading his beloved wife by the hand into the bedroom. A year later, Lanthom gave birth to a daughter who looked just as cute as her mother. Somnuk named it Sri Ngern

The husband and wife are looking forward to when there will be another monk who will come to plant acid on the edge of the field near their home.
