"You Mei, did you already ask aunt and uncle about our trip?"
"HaHa, Mama and Papa already agreed. They said we should hurry and return home before the sun sets."
"You Mei, trust me, we will return early this time."
Jiao You Mei and Xiao HaHa, both came from middle class family, one speacializes in trading while the other in medicine.
The Jiao and Xiao families are neighbors in a remote part of Wu village far from the bustling capital of Country N.
The village was located near a forest where the Xiao families gather their herbs.
The forest from generations passed is already safe from dangerous and wild animals.
Today, Xiao HaHa invited You Mei to accompany her to that forest.
Father Xiao had bestow a task to HaHa to gather some herbs.
Because Haha is a bubbly one and doesn't like to be alone, invited Yu Mei to join her and someone for her to talk to.
They talk along their way to the forest.
Even though You Mei doesn't babble that much, and just listens calmly and nods gracefully, still, Xiao HaHa understand and appreciate it even more. You Mei is a delicate lady and considerate and understand her perks and personality without judging.
After arriving, they immediately done their task and was just trudging to the forest exit when they heard a horse neigh and some stomping noise.
They both look at each other and agreeing to check the situation.
What they had seen startled them.
