Faraway Wanderers - Chapter 43

Wherein there is fighting and ZZS proves he's totally fine with being in a danmei.


Thank you Emma P for proofreading!





Notes


1. The original expression is 河东狮 or "Lioness from the north riverbank" from an anecdote involving celebrated scholar Su Dongpo.


2. Walnuts are said to be a supplement for the brain because they look like tiny brains. It turns out to be not wrong as fatty nuts have some omega-3 in them (if you believe in that sort of thing as I do).


3. 流云九宫步 is an existent m.a. technique from, to my knowledge, Daoist traditions. The Nine Hall refers to the division of the heavens in a magic square composed of nine smaller squares with each a number attributed to them. The step sequence follows the sequence of the number.


4. WKX says "Grandaddy is going to teach his grandsons a lesson" in the original. Calling someone "grandson" is an insult implying that the insultee has to venerate the insulter.


5. Gu Xiang says she is going to erect a paifang (牌坊 or "memorial arch") for Mo Huaikong. It sounds both boastful as memorial arches are costly edifices and incongruous as paifangs aren't generally erect in the name of someone.
