"I..I-want to ...go with you" a weak and fragile voice was heard from the corner
Hearing another person's voice come from the dark corner, Sia suddenly thought 'How many are hiding in the dark corner? can't you all come at once? you know I'm still a little kid who is scared of strangers!"
From the dark corner, a thin and weak young man walked out weakly. His handsome face was extremely pale and his expression showed that he was in pain.
As soon as the young man who was initially speaking with Sia saw the fragile young man, he hurriedly rushed towards him to hold him and called out "Yun Xia, why did you stand up? Don't forget you arent feeling well. You better rest first, I will speak with her first"
Removing the young man's hand off his shoulder, Yun Xia ignored his complaints and continued walking forward towards the little girl. Standing in front of the girl, he looked at her seriously and said "I-I want to go out with you...Pl-please take us..wi-with you"
Staring at the young man, Sia replied emotionlessly "With your current state, you might die even before you can confront the beast"
"It doesn't matter if it means I can send him out of here," Yun Xia said seriously
"Yun Xia!!" the young man called out in shock
"Brother, don't worry about me. Whether I stay or leave, I will die eventually. rather than dying along with me, why not stay alive and take revenge on your evil stepmother's behalf of me? At least then I can rest peacefully"
Before the other young man could protest, Sia butted in expressionlessly "Forget about your life and death, in the present situation, whether any of us can leave this place is alive or dead is still unknown. Instead of deciding whether we will survive or not, we should leave this place first before the guards get to know"
"You're r-right, it's better to leave this place as e-early as possible" Yun Xia stuttered before turning to the young man beside him and calling his name "Third bro?"
"Fine, I will leave with you guys. Now follow me closely, I will take you out of this room" the young man said before making his way towards a certain corner where there was a hidden secret route beneath the rock which lead them out of the room, towards the exit which was guarded by a beast.
As soon as they reached the end of the route, they saw a huge room. As soon as they stepped in, they saw a huge black creature locked up with chains.
As soon as Sia's eyes fell on the black creature, her eyes widened in awe. the black beast which was bound by the chains was a two-year-old black jaguar, a rare species of Panthera onca. As soon as Sia's sight fell on the black panther, the first thought she had in her mind was "Fierce..."
The second thought was "It is soo cute"
and third.... 'I want to make it my pet'
(Author "...." Are you serious?)
While Sia was still in deep thought, the black jaguar slowly opened its eyes when it felt someone's presence. As soon as its eyes fell on the three people, its eyes turned fierce and dangerous.
with its fierce eyes staring at the three youngsters coldly, the black jaguar slowly rose to its feet and shook its body before it made its way towards the youngsters slowly. with each step, the shackles binding the jaguar also moved.
When the jaguar was almost closer to the youngsters, it suddenly increased its pace and jumped at the youngsters.
Seeing the jaguar jump on them, the young boy's eyes widened and he suddenly pushed the two people away. Just as he wanted to escape from the jaguar, it lifted its paw and slapped his back, causing him to hit the wall with a bang.
Staring at the young boy coldly, the jaguar raised its paw intending to kill the human being but just then the stone was thrown on his head from the back.
Feeling the sudden pain, when the jaguar turned around, its cold eyes fell on the two kids who were standing right at the corner. With a growl, the jaguar rushed towards the two kids but before he could catch them, they slipped out of his hand.
Furious, the jaguar slowly turned its body and stared at the two kids coldly and growled loudly.
Scared out of his witts, Yun Xia staggered and fell on his but. As soon as he fell, a sewering pain shot from his foot making him scream in pain. Hearing Yun Xia scream, the unconscious young man suddenly woke up with a start. Looking around, when he saw the jaguar making its way towards Yun Xia he was shocked.
Seeing the beast slowly walking towards him, he tried to get up on his foot but just as he moved his foot, the pain intensified causing him to yelp. Seeing that he wasn't able to get up, Sia hurriedly pulled him a few steps backward.
Seeing that the jaguar was about to rush towards them, Sia was startled. Looking around, she left Yun Xia all alone and moved aside. Seeing this Yun Xia looked at Sia with his eyes wide while the young man who was unable to get up or move yelled and begged at Sia to help him brother but it was as if Sia did not hear anything and she kept stepping backward.
losing his last hope os survival, Yun Xia took a last glance at the young man who was yelling loudly before he closed his eyes, waiting for his death.
with a growl, the jaguar also did not waste anymore of its time and leaped at the young man.
Seeing that his brother was about to be killed, the young man closed his eyes, not having the heart to see his brother die right in front of his eyes and he screamed in agony.
hearing his brother scream in agony, Yun Xia wanted to open his eyes but did not dare to when he felt the jaguar nearing him.
Just as he was prepared to face his death, he did not feel anything even after a short while.
Peeking from one of his eyes, he looked at the jaguar which was lying on the floor before his eyes landed on the little girl who was sitting on its back breathing heavily.
Gulping her saliva to moisten her dry throat, Sia asked "Are you alright?"
Not answering, Yun Xia just stared at the little girl with wide eyes.
Understanding the young man's condition, Sia did not question in anymore and her eyes slowly fell on the black jaguar.
Caressing its head, she sighed and said "Sorry, though I understand your condition, this is the only way I have to escape from death. Just give me some time, I will visit you again and I'll free you from here. Just give me some time...."
Looking down at Yun Xia, she asked "Can you get up?"
Staring at Sia blankly, Yun Xia shook his head in a daze.
"Sigh...." turning to the young man who was closing his ears and weeping, Sia called out "Hey, stop weeping like a girl, your brothers not dead yet. He is still alive..."
Hearing Sia's voice, the young man suddenly looked up and stared at Yun Xia in shock "Br-brother?"
"If you're done crying help me carry him away from here"
Staring at Sia in a daze, the young man nodded his head and stood up from the ground. Though he was suffering from pain, he tried to swallow it back as he helped his little brother to walk out of the room through the exit.
As soon as the three youngsters left, the black jaguar opened its eyes slowly and watched the back of Sia before it closed its eyes again.
A few minutes earlier...
Seeing that Yun Xia wasn't able to move, Sia cursed inwardly and tried to drag Yun Xia a few meters back where the black jaguar couldn't touch reach him.
Earlier when Sia observed the black jaguar, she noticed that due to the shackles, the black jaguar could not move around freely. During the few seconds when the Black Jaguar's focus was on Yun Xia's brother, Sia had surveyed the whole place and found that the black jaguar could only move until a certain distance and the later part was unreachable. With that thought, even when Yun Xia threw the stone she did not stop him but pulled him to the corner where the black jaguar could not reach.
When the jaguar's attention was completely focused on Yun Xia, she took the chance to run and climb up on the black Jaguars back and hit right on its acupoint, causing the Jaguar to lose its consciousness.
When Sia and the two men walked out of the exit, they found out that the exit was actually near the foot of the forest.
Looking at the huge forest and then at the city which was right opposite to them, Yun Xia said "thank god, we are finally out. Come, let's go to the city"
shaking his head, the young man replied expressionlessly "We can't. Entering the city is equal to falling in the enemy's den. It won't take long for those people to find us missing and the first thing they would do is block the city and search for us everywhere. By then, even if we try hard we won't be able to escape from them, so the only way left is to stay in the mountain for now"
"Oh...then I guess we can only go inside the forest" Yun Xia sighed
To their luck, as soon as they walked inside Sia and the two young men found a river which looked clean and fresh.
As they were tired walking for so long, the group of three decided to take rest near the river.
taking this chance Yun Xia's brother with the help of his medical knowledge helped Yun Xia to treat his injured foot before he walked towards Sia carrying a few medicinal leaves.
Looking at the little girl who had brain beyond her age, the young man sighed and thought 'how can there be a girl whose thinking is way beyond her age?'
Sia who was sitting near the back of the river playing with the water raised her head and looked at the young man and asked "What is it?"
"Show me your hand," he asked with an expressionless face
"My hand? for what?" Sia asked but still did not stretch her hand
shaking his head, the young man sighed and sat down next to Sia. Without her consent, he pulled her hands out and asked with a grim expression "how do you plan to not treat your hand? Don't you know how dangerous it is to keep your hand like this without treating?"
While berating Sia, the young man took out the medicinal leaf paste which he had prepared earlier and applied it on her wound after cleaning it with the freshwater.
Tearing of a part of his cloth, he used it to wrap her wrist to keep her wound away from getting infected.
Looking at the young man's skilled hand, Sia asked in her childish voice "Are you a doctor?"
"Have you ever seen a young doctor like me?" the young man asked while he bandaged her wound
"Hmm...you do have a point but still, how do you know about herbal medicine and all?" Sia asked curiously while staring at her bandaged hand.
"Because Yun Xia got hurt most of the time working outside, I learned these things from an old doctor who was kind enough to teach me some basic things about medicine"
"Why do you have to learn medicine? isn't it easy to visit a clinic than learning all these things?" Sia asked
"Hmm....it is easy to visit the clinic but for that you need money. With the income we get, we can barely afford it to fulfill our basic necessity and pay the rent, how can we have spare money to afford to go to a clinic?"
"But based on your look and your manners, you seem to come from a rich family"
Placing his hand behind, the young man leaned back and looked up at the sky before he replied "you're right, I was indeed rich but a few months back I was chased out of the house by my stepmother and it was also her who asked those men to kidnap me and sell me off"
"Was your brother also chased out along with you?"
"The truth is he is not my biological brother. he was the son of a maid who used to work for my mother. After the maid passed away due to some illness, my mother took care of him but due to some unknown reason, my mother also passed away shortly after that. When I was chased away from him, it was he who let me stay in his room and took care of me. When my stepmother wanted to kidnap me, it was him who helped me to run away from those kidnappers but in the end, we were still caught and he was injured because of me"
"Hmm...seems like you two also have a sad story" Sia sighed
"By the way, why were you kidnapped by those people? was it because of your stepmother or a relative ?"
Staring at the blue sky, Siz smiled faintly and said "No. Unlike you, I don't have such a sad life. A Doting grandfather, an overprotective father, a caring brother, and a beautiful mother. I must say, I'm pretty lucky to have such a happy family and a rich life. But because of a past incident, I abandoned my rich and happy life and came here to study to like an ordinary student"
Nodding his head in understanding, the young mand said "hmm....rich people also suffer despite having everything. By the way, what's your name?" he asked
"Sia...you can call me Sia"
"Hi, I'm Qin Mo, you can call me brother Mo. and also, thank you for saving us earlier. if not for you making a sneak attack and making it unconscious, I'm afraid we couldn't have come out of that place"
shaking her hands, Sia replied nonchalantly "don't thank me. We were lucky to face as young beast whose consciousness was not sharp as the matured beast or else I'm afraid I would have been shredded into pieces even before I could touch it"
"but it doesn't change the outcome. you saved us and I'm very thankful to you"
"whatever!!"
