Embroidery Girl
Chapter 21: the hot spring
“Rupanya no new residents..”.
Li Xin Mei raised her face. He looked around, looking around for the person he was talking to. The room was quite dark because it was underground. It took him a while to find that guy.
She was a young woman who was in the iron bars across. He sat like her, but he did not see how she looked and what clothes she wore.
“Will by crying and begging like that, you will be free?”
“...T-no.”
“smart girl. If so, do something to save yourself. But, I emphasize, you will not be able to be free from the name said ‘payers’ for the rest of your life.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because I understand. After a few months of being here, I understand, if we were all born to be servants. Even when a newborn baby is a servant. When the baby is born, he will cry to serve himself that he is born, and it is worth to be welcomed with joy; when he is thirsty, he will cry, she had to cry again to serve herself to get the attention of her parents, who were only able to drink milk. As a child, she had to crawl to see something that made her curious, so she served herself to it.
When he is older, he must learn to serve himself for the future and the present. When she is old and sickly, maybe she will try to serve herself the same when she was a baby.”
“A-I don't believe.”
“As far as you are. I'm not forcing you to believe it or not. Everyone has their own beliefs. I can't interfere in it.”
“A-are you also treated harshly?”
“When I came, indeed, I was treated harshly like that, and tried to escape from these iron bars. But the longer I stay locked up, I take it all away. Wouldn't it be better for us to accept our destiny without futile resistance?”
“Stop crying, it's all pointless. If you want to change your destiny, catch this.”
The woman was swinging something. Immediately Li Xin Mei caught him. It's a little saw.
“Can this open it?”
“try.”
......................
Tang Li had already walked a few hours from the mountains. He found a crowd and a market. He walked in the middle of watching everything. As he passed by, he was interested in something he was very familiar with.
He approached one of the merchants.
“Master, where did you get that sword?”
“this sword, I got from two women, are you interested in buying it?” the merchant man raised the sword and pulled it. The sparkle of the sword blade was extremely White and beautiful.
“I think this sword has something special. It's not easy to buy it. I need a lot of coins. Is the master able to do it?”
Tang Li was silent for a moment then nodded. He had enough money after looting the Li family's possessions and the others. Before the merchant wrapped his sword, he said, “Which two women do you mean? Does the master know his name?”
“Honey, I don't know him, but I can tell him his characteristics. Does the master want it?”
Tang Li nodded.
The man then told me everything. Starting his physical form, hair, height, and age.
After paying, Tang Li left from there. He's taking another walk. But just a moment later, he found something that interested him again. He bought it again, and asked where the merchant had gotten the item from.
......................
He did not know, whether it was morning or night when two guards came and told him to come out.
“Where will you take me?”
“Close with us only.”
With his head down and filled with fear, he walked out. At that time, he only realized that many women were in brackets, some even had become skulls. The circumstances of the women were alarming, her body was thin, and her bones were visible. His lips were wrinkled, his eyes were red. They look like they have no passion for life.
One of the people who took him said, “ all such scenes are common here. I've even seen moments of how a dying girl dies. He opened his mouth, willing to speak, yet not a single word came out of his poor mouth. What a pity his fate. I was so sad to see it, but I couldn't do anything. If you don't do your job well, you'll end up just like them.”
“A-what should I do?” he asked carefully.
“You will know it later.”
After walking for a while, they climbed the stairs. Then arrived at a very beautiful room filled with decorations. They went out to the main door. What a beautiful view outside. It was only then that Li Xin Mei found out that it was still daytime outside. How glad he was to see that. He enjoyed the view outside as they moved into the hallways of the house. When passing through the door to ten. One of the men came forward and knocked on the door.
Feelings of fear, various negative thoughts appeared in his mind. What would happen if he met the evil master's man. What more torment will he suffer. He can no longer hold all this. If only he could choose between life and death, he would rather die than live in such futility. He seemed to be detached from the crocodile hole into the dragon hole. It is so sad his fate.
When the door opened, he was afraid. He's looking down deep.
“We have brought this girl, next is up to you.”
The person who appeared said nothing, maybe he just nodded. He did not know how the person in front of him was, whether male or female?
A white hand decorated with red bracelets pulled his hand and led him inside.
He knew the person who took him was a woman. When she wanted to raise her face, the woman first touched her chin and raised her face.
“Don't act like I'm a criminal.”
The figure standing in front of him was a middle-aged woman. She looks beautiful naturally. When she smiles, it might be very sweet.
“Do not fight.” When she said that, she let go of han fuya. He did not dare to fight.
But he never thought he would be naked like this. She became embarrassed and crossed her hands in front, hoping to cover her two white breasts. However, he still could not hide anything else.
The woman laughed gladly to see him embarrassed like that. “you need not be ashamed. Your body has seen it like this. Even then, you never felt the slightest shame. You remember?”
Li Xin Mei hesitantly shook her head.
“You never remember it.” The woman holds xin hand may. “don't move, just follow what I want.”
After saying so, he took her to a room. Inside there is a hot spring pool.
“Sit.”
Li Xin Mei sat on the edge of the bath. I don't know what this woman will do to him. Both of his feet were very warm when he entered the bath water. He enjoyed the warm water.
The woman then left. In the short time before the woman came back, she took a look around.
The woman came with two wooden buckets. Put it next to Li Xin Mei. She sat behind Xin Mei staring at her back. “lots of blood are coming out. It's about 30 lashes.”
The woman takes a smaller bucket, then scoops warm water in the pool. “ini will sting, hold.” He then gently brushed xin mei's back and rubbed her. Li Xin Mei could only close her eyes in pain. Plus, you have to hold the warm water.
The woman did it a few times. After that, he pulled his hand. Xin Mei did not fight back. The woman washed her hands gently, then the other one.
“you can wash your own face.”
“B-good.”
The woman then left.
Li Xin Mei washed her face slowly. She was afraid that her swollen cheeks were painful.
Not long after, the woman returned. He brought some cloth.
