289 7.17 Ride Me Like A Bucking Horse (1/2)
”There won't be training today. Go about your own task for today. No visible fires and smokes. The Sheriff of Nottingham had pasted some posters with the likeness of you, Robin at the trading district and I'm afraid someone might leak the information on you and it will involve me and my grandchild. You know what I mean, right?”
”Yes, Elder...I've got what you mean. Do you want me to bring Matilda along too? We would be gone until the storm blew over. They might have passed this place when we are not around. Lucky for us, we were inside the Smithy's workshop...!”
”Alright...go...there's another settlement across the stream about half a days walk and only 2 hours on Cruising Along. I don't think Matilda had mastered the Cruising Along technique, so best be on your fullest alert.”
”I'm sorry to hear about your sword but there's nothing I could do for you. Take your bow and arrows instead and practise while you can. sharpen the tip and make it like a barb when you have the time.”
”If you go mining, you can pick those flints to make arrowheads but you need a good string. Here, take this waxed fishing line and use it to make flint arrowheads. Tie your quiver to your belt and thigh and you could deploy your arrows much faster that way.”

”Hoot like an owl three times when you are close to this house so I would know it's you. Hide in the shadows, my child. Be hidden but observe your surroundings. Go with Matilda now...”
”Cutie pie, go with Robin to the next settlement. Hurry before the Sheriff finds out about you both...!”
”Yes, Granny...stay safe. Robin, are you still taking that piece of trash with you? What are you trying to do with it? Make them split their sides and die of laughter? Come on, dispose of it already...”
”Arch...shuddup you. I will show you later what I did to your sword because I will do to mine too...So let's get going...And keep low and keep quiet and follow my pace...”
I bade the Elder farewell and we made across the stream at it's the shallowest point and waded through before we scrambled to the other side. it took us nearly more than 5 minutes to fight the current and I faked a few slips and falls in order to drench myself in the stream.
We stayed close to the shadows of the trees, crouching from tree to tree, stopping every now and then to listen to our surroundings before we head out again, making zigzag movements through the forest, not knowing where out direction would be.
The 6 dumplings that I carried with me in the storage bag was taken out and I shared a dumpling with Matilda, who had caught a slight chill when we were crossing the river and we moved on with our wet clothes despite perspiring into it.
I saw how bad Matilda's situation was and I told her, ”Look... I'm going to make fire with my hands now... Join your hands in. You won't feel burned but it'll warm you somehow... OK? We rest here for 15minutes before we head out again. Are you familiar with this terrain?”
She shook her head and her teeth were chattering. Damn...! I hope she doesn't get worse than this. Her face is damn pale right now...!
I quickly rubbed my 2 hands together and 2 small Psi Healing Energy Spheres were formed and I concentrated and the light in both spheres intensified. ”Come, join your hands now. Let these Psi Healing Energy Sphere warmed you and enter your body as part of the healing process.”
I explained as she slowly placed her hands on mine and I let the energy be imbued with her. Within minutes, I could see the colour returned to her cheeks and she was no more chattering or feeling cold but our clothes are still wet.
”Just close your eyes... What I'm about to do might scare you but don't worry. It won't burn you.” I said and she replied with a weak OK. Soon I concentrated the pure energy around me and I called upon the Kamehameha to be infused through our bodies and dry our clothes and bodies.
