Leaving

As I left I gave my sister a hug and quietly teared up. I wanted to find my Zhou Yu but, at the same time I didn't want to leave my sister alone. You see she had a husband but, he died of illness. And ever since then she's been handling it pretty good. I wish I could be as strong as her.

I'm now packing up my stuff and I tend to pause here and there. I wonder if this journey will take long? Because I want to come back home as soon as I can. All I want is to go find Zhou Yu come back home and be happy. Then I hear a knock on my door. It was Sun Shang Xiang (SSX). She stood there at the door and watched me pack my stuff. Then she shouted "Why are you leaving!" I just took a minute and put my stuff down. I looked at her and I walked up to her and gave her a hug.

Seeing how I was quite shorter than she was. All of her tear drops came down on me. "There, there I won't be gone for long." I said. Then we seperated. She looked down at her finger and fidgited with them. I turned around to put my stuff in and when I finished I turned around to say good-bye to SSX, but she wasn't even there. I paused for a minute or two and took a long breather. Then I sighed and quietly closed the door as I was leaving.

I quietly walked down the halls and when I got to the main gates I saw my sister Da Qiao. She was waiting for me so she could say good bye. I droped my stuff and ran to her. We hugged each other for quite a while and I almost lost track of time. Then she said "No matter what happens I'll always be with you sister. Just remember to stay safe, find Zhou Yu as soon as possible, and most important come home soon too." Then my sister ran off crying.

Unfortunantley I knew what she was going through. How do I know? Because, our parents are gone, her husband is gone and now I'm leaving. I feel terrible, and horrible but, that's how it is I guess. I've never really been so settled though, usually I'm up and down, over here over there. I guess I just don't have that much energy anymore.

………………………………………………………………...………………...

It's been three days and I have found no trace of my Zhou Yu. My sister wrote me he might be in Wei but, I don't know why he would go there. Except if I decide to go there. I have to go through Shu. Then I'll get to Wei. I'm so uncertain about these things. My sister also told me to stay at the inn she said she was sending a friend to accompany me on my journey. I'm so wishing it's not Gan Ning.

Every time he's around a woman, he puts his arms around them. Yuckie! So I'm stuck in this town until my partner arrives. So I guess I can stock up for us.

As I'm walking through the crowd with my basket full of foods, emergancy kit, and other stuff I see a man with a hat. He is sitting on a horse and he seemed to be looking for someone, or some place. I then thought maybe that person is looking for me! I brushed my shoulders against other people and when I finally got to the man on the horse I looked up and it was Lu Xun! He looked down at me and smiled at me.

Then he got off his horse and said are you ready to leave. It seemed like he was in a rush or something but, I replied "I have to get my stuff at the inn." Then he laughed and said "What you have with you is fine." I gave him a weird look and stayed silent for a while. All of a sudden I hear people screaming and running away, they are all so frightened. So I asked Lu Xun if we could see what happened. He nodded and tied his horse to the wood railings. We went into a restaurant where all the screaming had came from.

Until we saw a woman yelling and screaming, there was a man with a blue cape. I actually found him rather handsome in a very disciplined way. He was trying to take the woman back to where had come from. Fortunantley Lu Xun and I bloack his way so he couldn't get out.

"Move out of my way or else." He said.

"Humph! Why should we?" I asked.

"I am the heir to Wei (Cao Pi) if you do not stand aside I will kill you."

"We'll see about that!"

Cao Pi dropped the woman on the floor and pulled out his sword Lu Xun told me to get the woman to safety and he would take care of Cao Pi for now. As Lu Xun distracted Cao Pi I took the woman by the wrist and ran her back to a safe area. Just when I was about to leave she said "Thank you." So I smiled and ran as fast as I possibly could. When I got back to Lu Xun I saw Cao Pi fleeing from the village. Lu Xun didn't even have a scratch on him. I was amazed. Then Lu Xun grabbed my hand and took me to his horse. We road off without getting any of my stuff. Which really stunk too!

"Lu Xun…?"

"What is it Xiao?"

"Do you think Cao Pi took Zhou Yu?"

"I don't know but, I'm trying to find out why Cao Pi was doing here in a village of Wu's."

"Hmm…I'm suspicious about Cao Pi."

"Yeah me too."

"So are we going to Shu already?"

"Yep but, we are going to disguise ourselves."

"Um, but how? We have no disguises."

"Do you see the bag near your left foot?"

"Yep!"

"Our disguises are in there."

"Oh…this sounds like fun!"

"Well, you see those two trees right over there? We are going to stop there and change into our disguises then we will probably get stopped at Shu's main gates. When they ask us why we are here just say that we are merchants traveling the lands trying to make a living out of it. Got it Xiao?"

"Ugh…I guess so."

Fact is I really was lost but, I'll just stay quiet until Lu Xun asks me to talk. I hope we don't take too long in Shu because something tells me that Cao Pi dude has my Zhou Yu. Oh and if he does there's going to be a lot of butt kicking!
