Chapter 3: chapter :3
Zhang mei had a sleepless night. Her beautiful face now had two big black eye bags like panda. Upon seeing her face zhang qiqi thought that she must be annoyed that's why she didnt sleep. Zhang mei on other hand was wracking her brains on how to run away. In the morning itself zhang qiqi asked her to accompany her to the temple near the forest. Mei mei thought of refusing so to avoid the whole selling goods matter but then she had an enlightment' What if those guys comes to kidnap her at night.'
She simply wont be able to run. So she decided to take the chance. She had only today to run away or else either she will be sold or married. She decided to run while walking to the forest. Mei mei then decided to follow the mother daughter pair. As they were nearing towards the forest, the surrounding people were getting fewer. Zhang mei was waiting for an opportunity. As she knew that the forest is the border of guinqiu villiage. Beyond forest is the starting of fire kingdom 's small cities. As she was going to run away she saw four to five men walking towards them. Zhang qiqi's eye lit up. Meanwhile zhang mei cursed for the bad timing before pushing zhang qiqi and running inside the forest as if her tail is on fire. Zhanqiqi who was pushed regained her composure before shouting " she is running away. Catch her!"
The four to five men who were walking towards them initially, soon broke out into run after zhang mei. Zhang qiqi followed them from back along with her mother.
.....
"Master we have reached guinqui village" A man dressed in black reported respectfully as he saw the white robed middle age man nodding as he replied" We are finally here."
One of the three young men who were dressed in white too said in a low voice" Grandpa there is tea stall there, lets ask there first."
The handsome man nodded as he said" Lets head there first. You all rest a bit there. Its been 2 days as we are continuouslly ridinng."
The young man nodded. But his eyes clearly show his anxiousness.
...
Zhang mei who was running like a mad bull was becoming happy on seeing that they hadnt caught her. She was running as she saw a little tea stall. Several horses and men were standing in front of tea stall. She hesited before deciding wether to hid there or not. But if she simply run like this she will be caught soon. So she run towards the tea stall.
...
" How many zhangs are there in this village?" The young man dressed in white asked. The middle aged man was already sitting with the other two young men as he gently sipped his tea. Other men dressed in black also sat in other tables.
The owner who was a bit old with white hairs answered" Sir there is only one."
The young man then anxiouslly asked" Then have you seen a girl with different eye colour than usual among the zhangs!" His voice sounded as if he is anxious to death for the answer.
The owner immediately replied" Yes there is one. And amazingly she has deep blue eyes."
The man sipping the tea stopped momenterally. A deep emotion of anxiousness and relief passed through his eyes but he remained calm.
The young man then happily asked" What's her name!"
The owner thought for a bit as he replied" Her name is zhang mei."
The young man was going to say something as he stopped midway and stood stunned as he saw someone. Meanwhile all the men present with them were also stunned.
......
The men sitting there noticed her but nobody said anything. She hid behind the countor and huffed rapidly. She was going to say something to the owner when she saw the 4 men running towards here. She sat down below the counter before she took out a silver pin from her clothes and carefully placinng near owner. The owner noticed the pin and nodded slightly.
Zhang mei prayed hard and held her breaths as those men and zhang qiqi plus her mother walked towards the tea stall. One of the men asked " Have you seen a girl running from here?"
The owner stiffly replied " yes she ran towards there". He pointed towards a direction.
The men were going to move towards the direction when zhang qiqi stopped them and pointed towards the counter. A light green cloth can be seen at the corner. Zhang mei held her breadth. The men sneered before walking towards the counter. Zhang mei as if knowning there is no way to hide anymore stiffly stood up and walked out.
Zhang mei smiled stiffly " sister how about we talk it out! It is not good to do bad things!"
Zhang qiqi laughed " What bad things! you are running from marriage so we are dragging you back." As there were many unknown men sitting here she doesnt want to expose that she is selling her. She sneered before saying " men catch her! father must be angered due to her rude behaviour."
Zhang mei seeing men walking towards her wanted to shout ' Save me ' but she knew there is no police or etc in this place so its useless. She laughed bitterly before saying " Sister selling people isnt good."
Zhang qiqi angrily glared before saying " Men dont let her spout nonsense. Catch her!"
...
The three young men with the handsome white robed man angered as they heard her words. They were going to move but the white robed man stopped them as he said" wait and watch."
The young men were reluctant but nodded to his orders.
...
Zhang mei laughed " Sister you know what ' I am lying ' is written all over your face."
Then five men who were approching her didnt let her spout more nonsense. A hand was going to grab her when she caught the arm and with a push did a back flip. Zhang mei was feeling elated as she thought of learning several martial arts etc for defence in her past life. Moreover this zhang mei's body is really tough. Although she looks skiny but she really is tough.
The men sitting in the stall were watching the show solemly. Another men from the group tried to hold her when zhang mei kicked his face from her leg. The man was caught offguard as blood trickeled from his nose.
The other three men immediately put guard against her. Zhang mei laughed before saying " How about you all let me go and capture that lady. You see i amnt even as beautiful as her. Look at her figure. She will get more customers and she wont even fight like me."
The men who listened her sneered before saying " Who said you arent beautiful. Those beautiful eyes and face will sell well. Now dont be rude and come with us."
A man walked towards her. But before he can say anything more zhang mei faked a punch towards his abdomen. The man immediately tried to caught her punch but before he can, he felt a kick comming towards his lower body. As the kick hit his crotch, he shouted " Arhhhh~ damm girl." While he was rolling on ground in pain the other 2 who was not beaten walked towards her. Zhang mei walked back before saying " Did you heard sister even that chicken man said i am more beautiful than you!"
Zhang qiqi furousily shouted " ZHANG MEI I WILL KILL YOU."
Zhang mei laughed stiffly as she was moving backwards. Then she saw a sword lying on table from the corner of her eyes. A handsome man dressed in white who seems to be in his 30's was sitting on that table gently sipping the tea and enjoying the show. His face seems amused. Three young men were standing on his back.
zhang mei broke on run towards the sword as the other two man ran aftet her. As she reached the sword , she immediately unsheated it. As she took the sword, the other men dressed in black around her, tensed immediately. But she didnt give a shit before saying " Oh handsome uncle lend me the sword for a couple of minutes. I am giving you a free show of amusement so you can atleast pay me by lending it okay. "
She didnt wait for his answer before swinging the sword manically. She immediately shouted " Is your sword made of 20 tons of iron. Damm heavy."
mei mei never used a sword so she was like an amateur with a sword in her hand. The two men stopped on their tracks before saying " little girl dont try to make things hard. Or else the result wont be better!"
Zhang mei blinked before saying " Are you idiots! Are you trying to dupe a 4 yearold child. If i dont make things hard then how i am gonna escape or should i wait for you all and say in excietment ' BIG BROTHERS COME SELL ME' . Are you nuts!"
The man dressed in white spat his tea before laughing. ALL other men with that man stared at the shocking scene.
zhang mei noticed his laugh and said " Handsome uncle ... My show is worth a lot of laughter so you mustnt punish me for using the sword."
After which she turned her gaze towards the incomming two men and said " see i dont want to see blood shed. "
The other two men didnt gave her any opportunity of talks before rushing towards her. As they were approching, she sighed before swinging her sword. A man jumped towards her. Zhang mei seeing the approching man sharpened the blade towards his chest. The man was shocked. He didnt expect for the girl to really try to kill him. But it was already late for regret as the sword pierced through his chest.
Zhang mei wasnt ready for the shock of killing a human for first time as the other man caught her from back. They rolled on the ground but zhang mei hooked his neck in between her legs. He gasped for air but she didnt loosen. Soon due to lack of oxygen the man fainted.
Zhang mei stiffly stood up before cleaning her cloth and then stared at the mother daughter pair. Both had already run away. She smiled brightly upon seeing that noone is trying to kidnap her anymore. She then walked towards the man who was having a sword in his chest. He was at the brink of death when he saw a pair of blue eyes looking at him before saying " I am sorry but i need the sword. It wont hurt much i think so."
He wanted to say something but before he could he saw the lady pulling the sword out before stopping abruptly. He cursed in his mind before shouting " Give me an easy death. Dont torture me."
Zhang mei stiffened before saying " Oh sorry i wasnt torturing. I just noticed you have a few gold coins."
Then she immediately took the sword out of his chest as she saw the man finally breathing his last breath. She closed his eyes before mumbling " May god bless you."
Zhang mei then cursed slowly " Shit.. to whom i am praying!"
She then picked the gold coin before keeping it securely in her clothes. zhang mei then cleaned the sword with the mans clothes. She then walked towards the man in white before respectfully keeping the sword back in hilt and saying " handsome uncle thankyou! Then i should leave!"
The man in white smiled before saying " So where an alone young lady walking to?"
zhang mei laughed " Handsome uncle i dont think we are going in same direction so no need for lift."
The man laughed before saying " Actually we are going the same direction you are going. You dont need to polite."
Zhang mei cursed in her mind. She escaped from kidnappers now only to again getting trapped in here. she replied " I will stay here not going anywhere! You all go anywhere you want."
The man smiled and replied " Then we are staying here too young lady."
zhang mei smiled stiffly before saying " Oh so you are staying here...."
As she was saying she moved back before running in opposite direction.
The man in white said " Xiao yi catch her."
The young man standing at back immediately nodded and vanished. Time that take one to blink eyes he returned with zhang mei on his shoulder. He kept her down gently before saying gently " Dont run you will get hurt."
Zhang mei on hearing his gentle tone looked at him suspiciously. zhang mei then said " you all look well off! Now why are trying to sell me off!"
The man laughed evily before saying " we are only accompanying you not selling you young lady. Whats your name young lady?"
zhang mei glared at him before saying " Zhang mei."
The man then coldly said " From now your name is luo mei."
zhang mei looked at him as she saw a devil then said " What luo mei? Are you going to make me do something shady?"
The man then replied " Little lady is your mind filled with delusions?"
Zhang mei laughed and replied " Oh you are the one to talk! Kidnapping a little girl and even changing her name is some kind of noble job right!"
The man almost coughed up blood on hearing her. He gritted his teeth before saying " Head to ginqui village."
Luo mei looked at him confusely but then also she doesnt have any escape route so she stuck to him. She followed him as they walked towards the ginqui village. As they walked towards the zhang's house, luo mei coughed and said " kidnapper uncle are you returning me to my house! Then there is no need i can go on my own."
The man looked at her before saying " eh what kidnapper uncle!"
Before she can say anything she saw the men dressed in black walking towards her home and breaking the door with just a kick. She shouted " Wow..."
The man in white laughed and teased " Are you feeling great on seeing the power of my men's kick."
Luo mei rolled her eyes.
The man was going to tease more when he heard a middle aged woman shrieking and a man comming out furiously.
The man that furiously walked towards them is the cheap father of luo mei. Luo mei wanted to say something but then she noticed her father noticing her among the men and then saying " Sir did this girl trouble you! Actually she is just a waste for me. Her behaviour is also not good! I actually disregard her as my daughter but she shamelessly sticked to us."
He then looked towards her and said " Now look what you have done! you are really jinx for us. Whatever you did you yourself has to attone for it. Dont drag your family."
Luo mei was speechless.
The man in white thought that luo mei will be crying for hearing such harsh words so he was going to say something when he heard the young voice " My dear cheap father i dont think that you should call me jinx. You knew right that they are planning to sell me?"
Her cheap father furiously shouted " You bitch calling me cheap. Do you have any respect for elders."
Luo mei laughed before saying " What respect you douchebag! scum like you are damm shameless. So what if you are my father, even if my grandfather was alive and did the same as you, i then too would have called him cheap and scum. You are even not that old. Shehhh respect for elders... hehe"
After listening to luo mei's words not only her cheap father was speechless even the kidnapper uncle and rest were dumbfounded. They looked at her speechlessly. Kidnapper uncle then coughed before saying " I dont think your grandfather is that bad."
Luo mei sneered " As if you know him. Now dont support my cheap father! Continue with your buisness..."
The man pitfully looked at her before coldly looking at the man and then said " Do you know kang huan."
Her cheap father on hearing the name staggered at back before saying" who..who are you?"
The man in white sneered and said " you dont need to know! I got my answers.. shadow kill him and that pair of mother and daughter."
Her cheap father backed away as he shouted" I was only told to raise her and make her character disgusting before giving her back. Zhang mei i raised you say something!"
luo mei speechlessly looked at the scene before a realization hit her " Hey kidnapper uncle did you had any grudges with him! thats why you kidnapped me.. Oh god my cheap father even didnt let me be at peace in his death."
The man in white coldly asked " He is the one who raised you , dont you feel sad seeing all this. Is your heart that cold?"
Luo mei on hearing his questiom laughed " Kidnapper uncle do you know what does selling a girl means? Do you know what scheming againg a little 14 year old girl means? All these things could have destroyed me completely. So why should i feel sad on death of such scums! Bonds arent made from blood kidnapper uncle. If you really love someone then the bond forms. They simply hated me and i never loved him. I know he is a scum so is his family so why should i support in his wrongs. Showing kidness to them is like digging your own grave."
The men around her listened to her became dumbfounded especially the one who asked the question. He looked at her with complicated emotion before saying " i am your grandfather by blood."
Luo mei rolled her eyes before saying " Then i am your aunty from your mother's side."
The three young men standing at back couldnt control their expression as they laughed.
Meanwhile the man in white's lips twitched. He then explained " My enemy had stolen you when you were only few months. Your father and mother are dead. You have three brothers luo yi the eldest, luo sian the second and luo guang the third brother. You are the youngest among them. "
Luo mei stared at him for sometime before saying " That s what i doubted. How can a refined lady like me have such a scum family. Now i got it. Its because i am from your family kidnapper grandpa."
The man in white almost exploded in anger " You.. dont you think your acceptance to new things is quite high!"
"kidnapper grandpa,i was getting sold off some moments ago! Even i ran off i dont have any idea how will i support myself.. So getting a kin in such situatiom who will take you in and provide you free meals doesnt seems shocking but a mega surprise pack."
The man in white simply doesnt wanted to talk anymore so he just sighed " Dont call me kidnapper grandpa! Call me grandpa."
