Instinct (1)

Fei Wanrou stilled, completely frozen as if she had seen a ghost. All she knew is that when the coachman smiled, she felt shivers running down her spine. "This man is dangerous" she thought as she grabs her little brother's hand and was ready to walk away to keep some distance from that dangerous man. With that, Fei Zuo turns his head to his sister's direction with a confused expression.

"Sister? Wha--" before Fei Zuo could talk she cut him off and explained "Today's weather is too sunny, you might suffocate in there, and if that happens, you will make this sister worry" she flick her brothers forehead and added " I, your elder sister will take care for your share of food" she looks at him softly but in her mind she was scared...

She was scared of that man, the man who gave her such a look, scared because her instinct was telling her something is wrong and to ease it up she chose to keep some distance from that man and wait to see how things will go.

Fei Zuo scanned the whole area to see a big crowd pushing each other just to get some food so he nodded "Sister is right, Zou'er will be a burden if I go with you! " he scratched his head feeling annoyed "but I will not be the same forever! When I grow up, I will help elder sister do some chores and most likely will handle the heavy stuff hehe " he laughs as he swing his and his sisters hand.

As the villagers wait outside the gate with thumping hearts, they eyed the slow-moving carriage who was getting nearer and nearer towards them and finally the carriage came to a stop in front of the gate. They held their breath as if miracle has arrived.

The Village chief who is thin and old, stood in the middle and was close to the carriage. He happily welcomed the guest. "We're all waiting for you! We thought something wrong happened but now that you are here we have nothing to worry about" said the village chief as he pats the coachman's shoulder who already descended the carriage, the coachman humbly disagreed " I'm just doing my job, we just met some trouble along the way but we're all good now" and added " The food that the king promised is here so help yourselves out" he opened the curtain that was covering the insides of the carriage. The Chief followed the coachman until he was welcomed by numerous foods such as bales of wheat,rice,fruits, breads, vegetables and also clean water that will last for one week.

The village chief became teary-eyed and was thankful that the coachman arrived when they were already in desperate condition " The people of the Ming Village is thankful that you remained safe and alive in the end when there is war, you surviving means that the carriage can carry on. "

" You don't have to worry, I am here aren't I? This man is just doing his job, so let's hurry up and take this carriage inside! We can't make the food wait any longer" the chief nodded in response as he gave a sign to one of his followers to tell people to give way. With that, the follower yelled loudly for anyone to hear "Move! The carriage is here so move!" the coachman ride his carriage once again and ventured inside of the village.

While the coachman ventures inside the village, an adult woman stood haughtily as she fan herself from the hot weather. "The carriage is here!" a certain man shouted. Hearing that Feng Lin swept her gaze to Wanrou who was leaning behind a tree

"Wanrou, the carriage is here! go fetch some food for me and your cousin. Don't forget to bring some water too" Fei Wanrou's aunt Feng Lin spat hatefully as she stared at the darned girl. This child has no future than being a mere servant unlike her daughter who is far more better than this darn girl.

Fei Wanrou who was silently staring afar sneered, with this kind of attitude, she won't be surprised in the future when one day this aunt of hers will soon receive her heavenly retribution.
