Chapter 3 - Giving a helping hand

LiYing poked the guy's face. No response. LiYing poked it again. Still no response. LiYing took off his black veil. The guy had a mask on and he looked dead.

{...He has a mask on. In most historical dramas, men usually cover their faces with a mask to not let people see his face. So you're probably good looking but you just don't want the ladies to want to marry you. Even if you're good looking I still don't want to fall in love with you or I would have to fight against the pretty ladies that fancy you...}

LiYing put her finger under his nose. "He's alive. Did he faint?, " LiYing asked. She used her two fingers and opened his eyes. She closed them and nodded. She felt his pulse.

{...You are having a cold. You lost too much blood. Are you wounded?...}

She stood up and saw his wounds. The wounds were still bleeding. She saw a stomach wound. "Probably from a sword." She looked at his legs and there was a hole. "Probably from an arrow. Poor guy."

She took out the rouge boxes that contained the herb powder. She sprinkled some onto his wounds. There was no more powder so she needed to pick more herbs. She stood up and walked away.

She found more herbs and started grinding them into powder. She put the powder in the rouge boxes and went back.

The guy was still lying on the ground and unconscious. She sprinkled a little bit more onto his wound.

LiYing started going through his pockets trying to find something. {...Where is it?...} In the end she only found a dirty letter.

"Oh come on! I helped him but he has no money! I shouldn't have helped him." said LiYing. But then she spotted a jade and bronze token. {...This will do...}

LiYing took the bronze token off. The token had some words carved on it. It read "Ministry of justice" and in the back of the token it read "Imperial token".

{...So he's from the palace. I shouldn't take it. It's too important to him...}

LiYing looked at the golden token. The token also had words carved on it. It read "Third Prince". {...Oh, wait. This token is more important to him so I would just take the bronze token...}

LiYing went into the shelter and got a rag. She tried to find some ink but she didn't find any. {...Why am I so stupid today? Why did I get a rag to write on when I don't even have any ink?...} She looked at his wound and she sneered. "I am sorry but I would just use some of your blood, " said LiYing.

She took some of his blood to write a note for the guy when he wakes up. She wrote, "Here is some medicine. I helped you so you need to give me money. But you don't have any money so I took your bronze token. When you have the money you can try to find me. I would trade the token back to you if you give me some money. And I also took your veil. My name is Zhang LiYing. Bye now."

LiYing took the bronze token and went back to the shelter.

She felt the cloths and they were dried. She took a big cloth. She put two of the cloths into the big cloth and wrapped it into a bag. She took the last cloth and put it on the guy. LiYing grabbed the bag and she put on the black veil.

{...I better run away before he wakes up. Since this token is very important he probably would want to kill me when he wakes up...}

After 2 hours of walking, LiYing wanted to fall asleep. She jumped on a thick branch of a tree. She started climbing higher. She found a comfortable branch and she fell asleep.

After a couple of hours, LiYing heard some noises. LiYing woke up and looked around. She saw 3 people dressed as guards. The guards were looking around to try to find something.

{...Are they trying to find me? Well too bad! I am on a tree so you can't find me...}

The guards didn't find her so they left. LiYing stuck out her tongue at them and she laid back down to go back to sleep.

{...Why do I feel like somebody is staring at me? Did they find me?...}

LiYing turned around and saw two guys looking at her. The two guys were not that far away from her. One man had a mask on while the other one didn't. The two men saw LiYing look at them.

The man without the mask quickly tried to hide while the other stood still. The one that stood still was the guy that LiYing saved in the forest. He was the third prince. "Master, you should hide, " said the guy without a mask. "QingFeng, we don't need to hide. She already found us and she is coming to us now. "Wait, what?!, " asked QingFeng.
