Yue Chen Yin Chapter 8 Part1

"Qing Qing!" A hoa.r.s.e scream of fright can be heard from the back.

Being hung out of the battlement, I turn my head back with tears in my eyes. What enters my eyes is Mother whose garments become dirtied due to her grovelling on the ground with her hairdo messed up and tears in her eyes. The small-headed man behind her shows no mercy and pulls tightly onto mother's hair. He stepped on mother's body to pin her on the ground.

"Please, do not harm my daughter, I beg you~" A heartbreaking voice can be heard behind me, it is so sad that one can't bear to listen to it.

"O~" Bai Zi Qi's grim voice echoes in the air, "Is Madam Han begging me? Hmph hmph~" Suddenly, I feel my body plunging downward and my heartbeat stop at that moment. I shout subconsciously: "AAaa!"

"Qing Qing!" "Sister!" "Qing Qing!" Mother, Brother and Father shout at the same time.

Just when I thought that I'm going to plunge downward, my body is raised up again. Both my legs slightly shake midair and tears are threatening to fall from my eyes. I swallow my saliva out of fear and my limbs can't help but tremble.

An arrogant and loud laughter can be heard from behind me: "Hahahaha, to be able to listen to the shout of fear from General Han that's famous across the six countries, this me can really die without any regret."

I grit my teeth and hold my tears back. I then angrily turn my head back and spit with all I can: "You beast!"

The laughter stop and Bai Zi Qi's vicious glance fall onto me. He wipes his face with another hand. His cheeks look stiff and the corners of his lips are twitching. With the sound of wind blowing, I suddenly find the sceneries in front of me turns upside down. All the blood rushes to my head and both my hands are shaking in front of me. My cheeks feel suffocating and bloating and my lips feel numb. I blankly stare at the yellow sand dust that is at some distance away from me. My right ankle feels like it is going to be shattered from the gripping strength. It is so painful I moan: "Ugh."

"Bai- Zi- Qi!" Hearing a furious howl, I try my best to look below the wall. Father slaps the back of the horse and rush out. The red crown above his helmet shakes along with his movement. With his glaive up straight besides him, murderous intent can be felt from his voice: "Hurry and let my daughter go!"

"Oh? Let go?" The brute with Bai in his name says so in a lightly and leisure manner. Out of a sudden, his tone changed drastically and his voice comes out coldly, "Then I shall do as what the General says!"

"No!" The grip on my leg disappears and what follows is the heartbroken scream of mother. I, just like a fallen leaf, plunges down into this cold autumn wind. All I can hear is the gus.h.i.+ng wind, and in front of my eyes is the yellow sand ground that's becoming nearer and nearer. Without knowing why, my heart that was jumping chaotically becomes calm, so calm that I can hear the time flowing.

In this lifetime, I have only gone through around five years. It really is as short as ephemera. With me gone for this life, I have nothing that I hope for other than hoping that my father, mother, and brother will be able to get away from this dangerous situation safely.

Just when I lightly heave a sigh, preparing to face my demise, a golden shadow appears from the corner of my eyes. My waist is suddenly hugged and my body stop falling. The ground filled with pits is very close to me. My brain blank out and I remain there, dumbfounded. Suddenly, my body is turned upside down and my cheek leans onto a firm chest. I raise my head; feeling confused and sees the throat of my father moves slightly. His eyes look straight into me heatedly. His mouth is closed shut and he says nothing.

"Dad!" I open my mouth in an astringing manner and tears begin to fall. My head b.u.mps into his embrace. At this moment, a great fear begins to submerge my heart. All sorts of emotions well up in my heart, making me feel complex. Different sorts of sour feelings slowly fills up my heart, and runs warmly within my blood.

"Oh! Oh!" Turning my head back, all I see are armours that reflect the light of the sun and the cloud that flows behind them. The howl of all six armies sounded; the greatness of it shots through the heavens above.

"Sister!" Brother kicks the stomach of the horse and rushes to us as fast as he could, as if dusk that reaches u along with the wind.

"Xiao Er, protect your sister!" Father opens his mouth in a low and stiff voice.

"Yes!" Brother reaches his hands out and carries me from the back of Wu Ya to his pure white mount. With my head against his cold, silver armour, I crease my brows and look towards the tower. Mother is still there.

"General Han really does have great skills!" Bai Zi Qi's brows slightly crease together and the corner of his mouth twitches. Appearing to be leisure and carefree,

"Our King of Yong Country and Ming King Country has admired General Han for a long time. If the General is to turn towards our Yong Country and help us out, this me will be willing to hand my head over to the General to quell his anger."
