33 The unfortunate event turn to be fortunate (1/2)
The wounded Han Wu seated with his back sticking on a tree.
Suddenly a group of people had come to him and bandage his stab wound. Thankfully the wound is not deep thanks to his thick clothes that absorbs the sword cut. After all this time, he can't bear to think that his own people would conspire against him. He was such a naive and that naitivity led to his danger.If he would be thankful, it was to his goddess that save him.
”Have you seen a woman riding a beast here?” He can't contain his curiousity and his giving it all. Although he's doubtful if they see her.
Xiang Xia was the one bandaging him at the moment. ”Who are you talking...” He stop for a moment and he taught of something but he didn't bother to say it aloud. He continue wrapping bandages to him.
”Never mind if you didn't” deep inside he felt lucky. The goddess of the forest pick him to be the only one to show her majestic appearance. Somehow even if he died at that moment he will be entirely at peace.
Meanwhile, the kid was busy busy with playing into her phone and upon the strike of it's low battery, Bai Shin Lin requested Xia to summon her another set ofbattery together with burgers and fries for their dinner.
Xiang Xia Summon is pretty convenient.
Han Wu would have never received a food from a stranger but his grumblingthat he can't do anything but to received his portion. It seems that this people won't poison him given the fact that they already treated his injury.
Bai Shin Lin on the other hand was gobbling the whole portion of her burger in one gulp. She was super hungry plus the aromatic smell of the fast-food makes her even more hungry.
(Oh sweet life!) She mumbled into herself.
”Wahhhh! W-what is this food!!!” The man they were treating earlier gasp in exasperation. He tasted the first bite of his food and was damnfully dumbstruck. Xia and Maru seems to be entrange with the new flavors they were eating. First time they are eating this stuff that comes out of nowhere and incredibly tasty.
”Truthfully all the things you requested are somewhatstrange. Where were you really get them”
” shfkdktradhcddeshecretfjdj” what was she meaning to say is that it was a trade secret. She can't talk for a moment because his mouth is fully loaded.
”Do you have some more” Han Wu extended his hands gesturing for seconds. But Xia didn't allow it. His summoning reach its limit given the fact thathe only use it once. He taught that maybe it has something to do with what he summons now.
The night was silent and the only thing that could hear was the eerie noise of midnight animals. The atmosphere was now quite, everyone has already had their full and taking a break.
”With your injury, what is your plan now mister?” Maru broke the ambiance.
Han Wu dive into deep thinking. This kid is right. Now that he can't go back because he doesn't have people to go back to. The platoon leader was hit only on his leg that he escape death this time and run back to his group. Who knows what stories will he brag again this time upon returning.
He needs to find a way to subdue his force knowing also that they operate with some illegal conduct.
The only strategy he can think of is to directly report to his Commander and lend him some soldiers to supress his current teambut he can't do that alone. He's physically weak for the moment.He look at the 3 pair of eyes staring at him then bow down, head reaching the ground while sincerely requesting their help. ”my dear friends, would you like to partake into my dangerous proposal?”
It was expected. The three of them became silent. Who in the world would dive in and help a stranger whom you've met asking for a dangerous expedition?
”All right! Just for night well help you!!!” Bai Shin Lin without thinkingvolunteered her right hand. ”Hold it” Xia tried to interfere with her unjustified righteousness. ”What will we do to the kids tonight if we go there” for some point Bai Shin Lin taught too. ”Actually I have already plan it along. Would you mind hearing my plan and decide whether you'll go with me or not”
What was Han Wu suggesting is that, one of them for the meantime will stand to guard the kids while the other will go to seek the Commander. Once he could secure an audience with him he could find back up and storm to their camp. With the Commander there it won't take long overthrowing them but the problem lies on how to access a meet up with him. Well that is something that he'll think after a while.
After they settled it down and everything is back to normal he could get backto get the children.
Seems logical plan. Bai Shin Lin doesn't want to ponder deeply that whatever this person offer she would gradually obey. The one who's being sensitive and seems to be the detailed part is Xia. ”How we can be so sure that you'll not gonna ditch us and run away after helping you?”
”I am General Han Wu of the 6th battalion force, and under our oath of service, I leave my reputation and dignity on the line”
Xia at last seems to believe him.
The plan sets in.
The one to be with the children was Xia. Maru and Bai Shin Lin would go with him.
He walk to his horse and gesture to ride with him but Bai Shin Lin called unto him. ” General what are you doing there?”
He look up just to see a beast beside her. Shit! His flexes fluctuate and fell from his horse. ” You can't ride your horse with your injury you should follow me.” extending her hands toward him and offering him a ride with the Lion.
Wait a minute! Was that the beast he saw earlier.
He close his hands on his mouth. He don't want to let any ungraceful sounds came out of it The girl started to ride the lion as if it was nothing to her. Then with some unfortunate timing, the moonlight illuminatesher seemingly ordinary facebearing the majestic aura he had saw earlier.
His eyes grows wide with the familiar scene.
Ah... My goddess....
”Come on, quit dilly-dallying were on hurry right?” Although it's embarrassing, the girl caught his hands and pulled him up at the back of lion.
”Just tell us the direction, Maru will follow you”
”What?”
”Oh Maru is this Lion”
