Chapter 1 (1/2)

Chapter 1

It was during late evening, around 7-9 pm, when a woman with deep wrinkles with heavily breathing was running through the forest, as if chased by something. Just as expected, four perilous brigands were chasing after the woman. The brigands were each holding a sharp edged tool that reflected the moonlight.

Near the woman’s chest, there was an old heavy looking bundle was nestled in her arms. ” Ching! Ching! Ching! ” a weird sound originated from the woman’s bundle with every movement. The brigands must have been eyeing on the the things inside the bundle.

The woman wanted shout out for help, but despite her heavy breathing she was still unable to catch her breath. Despite that, the woman still ran on desperately. Biting her lips tightly as she ran desperately without looking back.

Do you remember that someone have said before? Something that can’t be planned as what you meant is life. Oh! Ya! Now is the exact correct timing that this phrase matches very accurately with it.

The woman, who was running, came out onto mountain road and slipt over the jagged edge of a stone with a loud scream. However, the woman did not even had time to feel the pain on her knee, instead she she quickly started to search for the bundle that has flown away when she slipped.

Maybe because of the weight of the bundle, it didn’t really fly too far away. The bundle was just near the woman, where she could catch it if she reach out her hand. The woman desperately reached for it, but a hairy hand which looked alike an animal’s, was a little bit faster than the woman. The woman’s eyes was filled despair, and her face as if the world crumbled in front of her.

“Wow, it’s quite heavy! ”

The brigands pulled up the bundle smiling evilly. One of them used a knife and slid open the bottom of the bundle. Bra.s.s coins that were joined with a string, dropped onto the ground with a ” Ching! ” sound.

After the brigand had found that it was a money, they threw the leftover bundle away, as if like throwing a rubbish, and they picked up all the bra.s.s coins into their hands. After awhile, the remaining brigands, who were slower, reached the place and jealously looked at the bra.s.s coins.

“Please return me the money back, ”

The woman pleaded them with a trembling voice. The brigands looked on with contempt and were all laughing among themselves at the woman.

“That money is for my son’s medical treatment. I’ll do whatever things your ask me to do, so please return me that money. ”

Her face was about to cry, but the brigand’s faces never did change. However, they were a bit different from the others. One of the brigands spoke worriedly.

“Brother, how? If this goes into Narae’s ears, then it will going to be chaotic again… ”
