Chapter 6: Zhong's Second Dream
Two hours later, Zhong falls asleep and dreams about him trying to sneak into the same castle he went today without getting caught by the guards. Then, he goes inside an unknown person's room filled with cobwebs as if it wasn't used for a few years. Suddenly, he hears noises coming from the main hall of the castle. He quickly hides under a bed before the guards and Yuang could enter and they had a chat.
"We've searched the whole village, my lord", said rat guard #4, "He's has to be around here somewhere."
"Keep looking", said Yuang, "First, capture the villagers and we will torture them to tell us where that wolf is."
Zhong gasps and realizes that Yuang's minions will try to capture all of the mountain cat villagers, including Mei Ling. So, after Yuang and his minions leave the room, Zhong spoke quietly to himself.
"What am I gonna do?", asked Zhong and quickly gets out from under the bed, but as he walks out of the room, he sees a large looking rat that hits him on the head, knocking him unconscious. Later, he wakes up to see that he has been tied to a mast and he sees the rat pushing the boat on the ocean, but suddenly stops it and spoke to Zhong really loud.
"So, you must be this Zhong the whole village was talking about?", asked the rat.
"Yes", said Zhong, "Who are you?"
The large rat said nothing.
"Answer me!", shouted Zhong, "Answer me now, you ugly looking rat!"
"I'm Yuang", said introduced the large rat, "and I'm afraid you won't be here in this village to foil my plan."
"What plan?", asked Zhong.
"You ask too many questions, wolf", said Yuang mockingly, "Too many questions."
The large rat laughs evilly and pushes the boat back far away from the village and suddenly, as Zhong struggles to get out of the rope bonds, he sees three sharks as they prepare to eat him. He screams loudly and howls miserably before the dream fades. Then, we see Zhong waking up from this horrendous nightmare and sniffs some smoke.
"Where's all that smoke coming from?", thought Zhong and turns around to see the three of the villagers homes being burned down. He goes there, hoping to see what was going on.
Again, sorry for making this short.
