Embroidery Girl
chapter 16: the careless young girl

Not long after she tidied her hair, Tang Li came carrying a pack. He stood up and smiled sweetly at her. Yet Tang Li with a cold face instantly gave the package away. He didn't throw it. Rather, giving it away while pushing Xin Mei like she was giving it away in an unreserved manner.

Although it was a bit rough, it was better than the previous one that was thrown away just like that.

Xin Mei did not feel offended by Tang Li's treatment. Instead, he was happy and happy because he got food, plus someone wanted to find it. In addition, he was also used to Tang Li's harsh treatment, the previous treatment was a development from before.

After getting it, he sat on the steps. Open that package. How happy he was after knowing if it was some fresh and new apples picked from the tree. The apple is round and fresh red. The kids must really like it.

“This is great! Where'd you get it? I see, all the way there are no apple trees around here.” He asked enthusiastically.

Although she knew Tang Li could be lost, she could not believe that she could find a relatively short meal in just a few minutes.

“Do not ask much!” Tang Li was a bit unhappy at being asked that way. He turned away and stood a few feet away from her.

Looking at him for a while, he opened the package and said cheerfully, “Tang Li, here!”

Tang Li did not budge.

“Colah!”

“.....”

“If you don't want to, you have to wait for me a few hours to eat this food.”

Right now, only then did Tang Li listen to her. He snorted in annoyance before approaching her. “What do you want again!?”

Hearing Tang Li's screeches, he wasn't afraid at all. He even considered it non-existent. When Tang Li said like that, Xin Mei hurriedly pulled out her sword, picking up an apple. Then, cut it well. His crisp voice rang out as he bent his sword blade. And the apple split in two.

“This!” He held out his white hand with a portion of an apple.

Tang Li remained silent for a moment and observed what he was doing. And he asked in astonishment, “Why did you give it?”

“Why? Stupidhead! This is your result, don't you deserve it? Besides, if there's poison in this apple, you'll die earlier than me.”

“While I know, you are very unlikely to do that, because I still matter. I don't know what's inside your savage brain. Quickly grab, and eat.”

“No.”

“Quick! If you don't want to, don't expect us to walk in the middle of the day. Come fast!”

“Basic girl freak!” Tang Li took it by force then ate it.

“Wordy girl? That's a nice name.”

“You are indeed a strange girl.” Tang Li sat down beside him.

“You're right, I'm a strange girl you think. If according to my mother and aunt tao, they say I'm a stubborn girl and a golden head. There are so many nicknames I have received. Thief girl, bad girl... A great deal. The waiters like to say that. But strangely, I did not feel hurt to hear it, instead, I liked it.” He said as he peeled the apples with his sword.

“You are indeed strange.”

“You are weird! You don't know why they call me that. That means they love me, except you. They all consider themselves my mother.”

“Compared with dear, it is more precisely taunting yourself.”

“Terup to you only.”

There was no more talk between them. After Tang Li finished eating, she stood up and walked away. Then, stand not far from there.

Xin Mei was enjoying the apples she was giving. The apple was very tasty and sweet, it did not taste five pieces he spent. He wanted to eat everything, but he had to break it, because it had to be made stock during the trip. He did not want to ask Tang Li again.

After he finished eating, he picked up all the apples and skin, then threw away his skin and approached Tang Li.

“Come we go.”

Tang Li did not reply, yet he walked away.

“Hi hi hi. You are very good at looking for apples,” Xin Mei said while carrying a package in her hand. She looked very cheerful when she asked like a 16-year-old girl.

“I'm more good at killing and torturing, do you want to see it?”

Xin Mei became scared. “No, no, I don't dare.” He said while slightly bowing and slowing his way.

After walking for a few hours, they finally arrived at a nearby village. The village they came to was called meili de Shan village. People saw a lot of traffic passing from the gate, and of course there is the Meili de Shan village script arranged there. By the time they arrived, the sunlight was already on the western horizon. As they walked eastward, they would see their shadows in the long east.

People were seen busying themselves, some were selling sweets, food, amulets, and others. The kids are moving beautifully. A commotion broke out and was very crowded when they arrived.

Before Xin Mei went any further, she drew her sword, just looking at her appearance. She's still pretty. The sunlight reflected and dazzled him. But only then did he realize something. Both of his eyes slightly widened, and his forehead slightly knitted. “Oh no! Oh No! Mommy's locket!” he subconsciously held both of his cheeks and dropped his sword.

“I have to go back first, it's very important!” without caring for Tang Li, he turned around to go running after picking up his sword.

Tang Li who heard Li Xin Mei could only sigh then walked into one of the taverns to wait for her there.

......................

After returning there, he did not find it. He did not give up so easily, he continued to search and search. No matter what stolen item Liu Fang knew, what he wanted the most was the pendant, it was the pendant his mother gave him. He had to get it, no matter where.

He searched every room. It doesn't matter if he's ever been there or not. He was very worried that the locket was gone. If it wasn't his mother's gift, he wouldn't have dizzy, but it was his mother's gift. He loved her very much too.

Liu fang who saw the worry on the girl's face, was unwilling to help her. But the locket really wasn't there. He examined it well and carefully.

However, Xin Mei was in disbelief, she very much remembered if her pendant was here, just that she did not know where she put it.

“Master... Help me! please help me find him. That's very important. That locket was my mother's gift!” Xin Mei pleaded while tugging at Liu Fang's robe. Her tears began to flow.

Seeing her sad face, Liu Fang had no heart, he helped her with all his might. But when night fell, they did not find him. Xin Mei was very sad.

He finally left the place without saying goodbye to Liu Fang. Liu Fang gave it away on his own. Li Xin Mei just wanted to be alone. He had already offered some items to exchange for the pendant, but they were all rejected.

“it was the pendant my mother gave me! I don't want anything else!” That is the answer when offered.

Li Xin Mei walked slowly while looking down. Both of his eyes were dim along with his eyebrows. He really wanted the locket. It was reckless of him for leaving her just like that. His mother might get angry for not being able to keep her locket.

Holding the dancer's statue and the sword in her chest, she slowly disappeared behind the gate.
