Chapter 4: Helping Hand
Lucy gasped as she saw the pretty valleys. She tied the jian to her belt and Jason used it as a walking stick. He had his mouth open. Cows and other animals could be heard. Some men with giant hats passed by them. Kids were running around and playing. Chickens were flying all over. Lucy and Jason approached a man who was currently sweeping. "Excuse me. We don't remember how we got here. We remember falling." Lucy spoke to the man. He replied with something in Chinese. Jason and Lucy looked at each other. "Hm?" Jason asked. A horse's neigh suddenly filled the air. Jason and Lucy noticed some warriors coming towards the village.
The warriors all stole the women from the village. Lucy and Jason were hidden behind a haystack. They watched as the warriors attacked. They tortured and stabbed all males trying to save their beloved ones. All the young women were put in cages. Lucy began shaking. "It's gonna be alright, Lucy." Jason spoke. "We'll find out way home together." He continued. Evergone was yelling. Eventually a fire even started in the village.
Suddenly, one who looked to be the captain, noticed Jason and Lucy. He yelled something in Chinese as he pointed at the two teens. Jason grabbed Lucy's hand and ran. Soldiers on horses ran after them. Soon they had them surrounded, yelling something in Chinese. Behind them, a donkey made itself heard and a drunk man was passed out on its back. He then fell from the donkey, immediately waking up. He sat up.
Meanwhile Jason and Lucy were confused and scared. "What? These?" Lucy asked, referring to the jian and bo staff. "You want these?" Jason asked confused. The drunk man from behind the horses stood up, staggering a bit. He spoke something in Chinese and a soldier attempted to kick him. He just grabbed the foot of the soldier and the other two soldiers jumped from their horse. The drunk man fought the three of them with ease. He fought two at once and dodged them. He fought like a freaking master! He jumped and laid down on two of them, he took a quick sip from him bottle and finally he kicked one in the face, and got up. He staggered a bit until he saw the jian and bo staff. His eyes widened and he staggered towards them. He began speaking in Chinese. "We- we don't know what you're saying." Jason said. The man spoke again in Chinese. "We can't understand you." Jason repeated. "Thats because you're not listening!" The drunk man spoke. "Behind you!" Lucy yelled.
The drunk man kicked the soldier who was coming up from behind him. He grabbed Jason and Lucy. Lucy went on one horse while Jason rode with the mysterious man. The horses began galloping along the path. Lucy followed Jason and the weird person all the way towards a weird place. It was a bar. It confused Lucy, but she didn't say anything.
