Wang Hao Han was running toward the main household until he saw a figure walking toward him. He observed that it was Lin Qian clothes from their branch. Wang Hao Han ran faster and yank her hand. What surprised him was that it was Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji was shaking and she yelps in surprise until she saw that it was only him. She sighs but was still shaking.
Wang Hao Han's eyes darken. "Where is Lin Qian?" he asked.
Xiao Ji points to the main household. She scared because Lin Qian hadn't returned from the main household as their deal. She looks up at him. "Go help her!"
"Xiao Ji," a voice called from behind them. They turn toward her.
"Qian Jie!"Xiao Ji shouted as she leaps into Lin Qian's embrace. Lin Qian stared at Wang hao Han before she spoke, "What are you doing here?"
"I-" Wang Hao Han stopped his sentence. He didn't dare to finish it with 'I was worried about you.' Lin Qian didn't pressure him anymore and told him to go away. She then grabs Xiao Ji's hand before they ran away. Wang Hao Han's eyes had only focused on one thing, and it was Lin Qian's bloody right hand. He wasn't naive to not know what that means.
Xiao Ji had climb over the walk with the help of Lin Qian. Lin Qian was about to climb when a strong pull was on her arm. She was ready to hit when she saw that it was only Wang Hao Han. "Crazy!" She tried to pull her arm back.
"Take me with you," Wang Hao Han said. Lin Qian looked at him in bewilderment.
"Crazy! You have a life here!"Lin Qian shout at him.
Wang Hao Han's grasp became tighter. "You have to take me with you. I also don't want to live a life like this either." He stared into Lin Qian dark brown eyes. Lin Qian became flustered, and look away.
"You are on your responsibility," Lin Qian said. Wang Hao Han smile right away when he achieved his goal. They both helped each other climb over the wall. The wall was thick and high so when they both finish they were panting like crazily.
"Qian Jie we have to go first before we rest, "Xiao Ji said. Lin Qian nodded and she drags Xiao Ji along with her. Wang Hao Han followed closely behind them. When they exited the town through the gate, we were truly exhausted. They had to stay on their guard, and not alert the soldiers guarding the gates.
They walk into the forest before they decided to rest. They didn't build a fire so they wouldn't alert any enemies or animals. Wang Hao Han's dad was a hunter so he knew how to operate in the woods.
***
Early morning, Lin Qian woke up and saw that Xiao Ji was still resting. She didn't want to disturb her so she walked quietly to go fetch something to eat before they begin their journey. Wang Hao Han was a light sleeper so when he heard footstep he opened his eyes and saw That Lin Qian had left. He quickly got up and ran after her.
Lin Qian heard fast footstep so she grabs a stick beside her before she swung it. Wang Hao Han's senses were good so he avoided the attack. Lin Qian sighed, "It's just you."
"Stinky Apples what are you doing?"Wang Hao Han asked.
Lin Qian grimaced at him. "I am getting some fruits," Lin Qian replied. She searches the forest with Wang Hao Han pestering her. She only collects a few peaches before she heard a scream. She dropped the peaches and ran to the voice.
Xiao Ji had woken up, but she didn't see Lin Qian nor Wang hao Han. She decides to stay put for them, but then she saw soldiers. She started to run, and the soldiers saw her. They chased after her. She runs as fast as her tiny leg took her. She wasn't fast, so her hair was pulled strongly. She couldn't help but scream from pain and fear.
She wishes for Lin Qian to come to save her like always. However, she knew that she must save herself. She bit the soldier's hand that was holding her hair so tight that she could taste blood. The soldier threw her away. The throw was so powerful that her ankle was twisted and she had a headache.
She couldn't get up any more, so she turns her body around and tried to crawl away. However, she was too weak for that. At that moment, she saw a small silhouette running toward her. She knew it was her. She wanted her to live so she screamed with all her strength, "No!"
At that moment, she felt a sharp pain that tore her body apart. Blood gushed out of her mouth continuously. Before she fell asleep, she heard a painful scream.
Lin Qian had seen the sight in front of her. Her eyes widen in horror. She had yet lost someone close to her again! It was so painful! She glared at the soldiers before she hit one of them away. She then grabs his sword. She was still only an eleven-year-old girl, and she didn't know how to use a sword yet so she didn't threaten the soldiers much.
The soldiers only laugh and smile at Lin Qian. Lin Qian felt so disgusted. She hated their eyes on her. Just when she was about to attack again. A smake bomb went off. The soldiers didn't see things clearly but when they did Lin Qian and the dead girl was already gone.
