Chapter 10: Beaten to Death:
Zhu Yingtai's POV:
I sat there in my room, alone. I would not speak with anyone. I am to be separated from my love forever and be married to someone I can never love. It's been weeks, but then Lian Shanbo came back.
"Zhu Yingtai," he said, "I do not understand why you are marrying Ma Wencai, but know this...
Lian Shanbo: Remember me? I remember you
I've been thinking 'bout you more than ever
I guess I'm lonely and starting to grow old
And I thought my youth would last forever
Chorus: Take me back to when we were kids
And didn't care if we were acting stupid
'Cause all we had was us
If I close my eyes and think about us
I can see the person I know I should be, 'cause honestly
I don't have no time to waste
I'm tryin' to come back to you
Because now I see, we were meant to be
Zhu Yingtai: Where are you now? Heard you live far away
But just tell me where and I'll come see ya
'Cause I'm afraid, that I'll end up here alone
Hope you understand how much I need you
Chorus: Take me back to when we were kids
And didn't care if we were acting stupid
'Cause all we had was us
If I close my eyes and think about us
I can see the person I know I should be, 'cause honestly
I don't have no time to waste
I'm tryin' to come back to you
Because now I see, we were meant to be
Take me back to when we were kids
And didn't care if we were acting stupid
'Cause all we had was us
If I close my eyes and think about us
I can see the person I know I should be, 'cause honestly
I don't have no time to waste
I'm tryin' to come back to you
Because now I see, we were meant to be
Lian Shanbo/Zhu Yingtai: We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be!
Then Ma Wencai came. "I told you to stay away from her," says Wencai. Then two mysterious women appeared.
"Who are they," asks Lian Shanbo.
"My assurance," says Ma Wencai.
"Wait a minute," says Lian Shanbo as he stares at the white-haired woman. "Nichang!"
Nichang! that was the name of his younger sister. She became a witch.
The two women then attack Lian Shanbo and start beating him to the point where blood was coming out. His own sister was beating him to death!
"No," I said, "Ma Wencai, stop it now! Stop it! Stop it!" I then started crying.
It seems that got to him. "Alright, Ladies. That's enough. Let's go so that you can get your payment."
"Goodbye forever, brother," says Nichang.
Ma Wencai and the two women then left. I kept calling for Lian Shanbo... but there was no answer.
