41 Chapter 41: Risky Festival (2/2)
We pass by Mei's village.
”Stop!” I yell.
The carriage comes to a halt.
”ZhuWu, can I bring another person with us?”
”Sure, go ahead.”
I walk off the carriage and enter the village.
”Ah! It's the city girl!” a child screams.
I bend down in front of him, ”Do you know where Mei is?”
”Big sister, Mei?”
”Yes.”
He points down the road, and I see her.
”Oi, Mei!”
”Ah! QiLing!”
”Pack some stuff! We're going to the capital!”
Her eyes shine brightly, ”The capital?!”
I smile at her. After a couple minutes, she boards the carriage.
”This is my friend, Mei,” I tell ZhuWu, ” and this is the mayor of the town in the south, ZhuWu,” I tell Mei.
”Nice to meet you!” They greet each other.
Finally, we arrive at the capital. I put on a hood.
”Please don't call my name too loud, guys,” I tell them warily.
”Ok?”
