Chapter 10. Magic river
Bai Xue Jun feels a little guilty for having to lie. But in order to ease her pain, she was forced to do so. She made eye gestures at the two servants who watched her.
The two servants understood what their master meant. Had to go through the charade of a magic river to get their little miss out of her misery.
"You two, accompany your little miss. The area is very safe but keep your eyes peeled. "Take care of jian'er well," bai xue jun commands.
"Yes, general!" the two servants answered in unison.
"Come on, miss." The two servants lead bai xue small jian. Both held one hand each of bai xue jian and walked beside him.
"May jian'er forget my tale quickly. He must be disappointed that what I just told you wasn't true," mumbled bai xue jun to himself.
***
Bai xue jian very excited. He made a run to the magic river his father had told him about. Very much wanted to know what the river looked like and wanted to see how magical it was.
Bai Xue Jian is so eager, that little bai xue jian does not wish to walk, guided by his servant. Just a few moments, he was led by the hand and pulled it right away. She would not walk at a slow pace because she wanted to get to the magic river immediately.
"Little lady, don't run too fast!" shouted one of the servants in the back.
Hosh hosh ...
One of his servants started panting because he couldn't run as fast as bai xue jian. His friend was forced to stop for a moment to help him with the tired servant.
"Eh? Where's the little lady?"
Just do not look ahead but they do not see bai xue jian. All around them see only the brilliance of towering bamboo trees. Far from finding the figure of a child running in front of them.
"How is this? We lost track of little miss!
"If the great general finds out, he'll definitely punish us later!"
They're confused by what's happening right now. Fear struck when she thought whether the little miss was okay or not for running alone. Not to mention the penalty for failing to take care of Bai Xue Jian.
"Let's look ahead first. The little lady must have reached the river already," said one of the servants.
"Yeah, okay."
This was their last option. Before informing their masters, it is best to make sure that bai xue jian has actually gone to the riverside that is not far ahead of them.

Bai Xue Jian can't stop his footsteps from running Her face was shown the happy expression that a stream of water was already in sight. It's not much further to go.
"Wow...."
His little legs finally made it down to the river. His mouth immediately opened wide when he saw the incredible sight that was right in front of his eyes.
"This is the magic river? It's really beautiful," the little boy should be praised.
There were large boulders in the fringes and riverbeds. The water was so strong that it made a sound that was audible to the ear. The spring so clear it shows the authenticity of the river.
In bai xue jian's heart, eager to take a step out of the river to jump over the rocks But there is doubt because of fear of raging streams. Her fear would have caused her to drift away if she had tripped over the rocks.
"My father says this river water heals all kinds of ailments. I'm gonna get the water and put it in the bag. Wounded soldiers would no doubt recover quickly if they drank it later," she says.
It's still very small but already understand the plight of the soldiers within jiang city limits. Bai xue jian often sees wounded soldiers returning from battle It's what made him sympathetic to draw water from this magic river in order to treat wounded soldiers in jiang city.
The final step continues. To reach the middle of the river, steps began to jump over boulders lining the river.
Bai xue jian has been learning martial arts since very early. So he could use the knowledge of the weight of the body to get through the big boulders. Not very good at it but it's still good to get to the middle of the river.
"Hub ... hub ..." One step and then some after that, he finally set foot on one of the stones in the middle of the river. The sound of the rushing water is heard more clearly in the ears as it nears the river.
Bai Xue Jian released a thick cloth bag in which the drinking water container was located inside his belt. His little body began to squat to get the river water as he wanted.
But alas, small arms aren't long enough to reach the river. The boulder on which she sits has a good height that gives her a good distance from the stream below.
Forcing its body to get closer to the edge in order to reach the river's water below. Crouching down with his head bowed, his hands vigorously to touch the water. The bag must be filled with this magic river water. It is his determination to treat wounded soldiers in the city of Jiang.
The more slippery the rock face became. Bai xue small jian body is becoming unbalanced because the legs cannot support the body for balance. As a result, his leg slipping away carrying his body fell into the chasm of this magic river.
"Ah!! Help!"
Blup blup blup....
The middle of the river is very deep. Bai xue jian's short body so completely drowned in it She may be able to swim, but the rushing water makes her unable to resist.
Bai xue jian tried to keep his head above the water to breathe His mouth was screaming for help. Wish father and the servants could help him from here.
"Help!!" the same screaming continues. Hope is someone who helps him before he runs out of breath and exhaustion.
Bai xue jian who is only seven years old is getting desperate. His body had lost control of its balance with the swift stream. Slowly the vision began to dim. The sun's warmth in the sky is starting to fade.
The fate of death apparently approached him very quickly. At such a small age, Bai Xue Jian can't take it anymore No one helped him, which means he'll die here.
hub hub hub...
Byur ...
A man with a quick step suddenly went into the water. The man went against the current and got into it, trying to reach for the hand of the little girl who had started to close her eyes there.
