“Young girl, do you want to kill yourself? You almost drowned” A man in brown colored clothes told Cai Tianai, as he carried her out of the water.
“Thank you for saving me, please put me down” Except for when General Mo deflowered her, no man had ever carried her in such a way.
The man gently put her down, then watched as she cleaned her face with the edge of her sleeve.
He guessed that she was a fish seller at the market, her clothes could never hide that stench.
When Cai Tianai was done with cleaning her tears, she turned to the young man who had helped her to thank him.
At least she was now free from the treachery of General Mo and his soldiers.
“Thank you so much sir, I don’t know what I did to them to deserve that” she curtsied.
“It’s really not a problem young miss, I did what anybody would have done” he smiled. “So where are you from? You should return to your parents or they might be worried”
