Embroidery Girl
chapter 40 - I don't know
After walking for a while, they finally arrived in front of an enormous tree. It is about 100 meters high with long branches and densely strung. In that grandeur, leaves inhabited him. The birds of various types utilize long and many branches, and thick leaves to be made a home in maintaining their children.
The girl raised her head to look up at the end of the tree and then walked again.
After looking for a moment at the tree, Xin Mei followed the girl closer to the majestic large tree.
When she arrived under the tree, the girl hinted Xin Mei to sit beside her.
Xin Mei did not say a word and sat there.
“Who are you?” xin Mei asked the girl.
“My name is An Hua. You must know me. We used to be good friends. Enjoying time together at the brothel, laughing at the humming and sighed brothel girls who sound funny, playing hide and seek, teasing the husbands of people. When his wife yells, ‘basas don't know themselves!’ we laughed and ran. Then, we lay under the tree and laugh again remembering that cuteness.”
“We always discuss brilliant ideas when sitting staring at the tree ceiling, such as... Ploughing chili on a drink given to the striped-nosed man who came to the house, gave him medicine, let the dog into the room when sister Hua served her customers. I'd love for those memories to repeat again.”
Said An Hua while looking at the ceiling of the tree that floated one leaf slowly and carefully. While Xin Mei did not understand at all about what she was talking about.
Regarding the brilliant idea, even he did not know the girl beside him.
“You won't remember. I told you, you have been incarnated,” suddenly An Hua said.
He then stood up, then took five steps forward and looked at Xin Mei.
“Dear brother, I do not want you to part with me anymore, therefore, you must join me.” An Hua smiled sweetly to Xin Mei.
Xin Mei approached him. However, suddenly an enormous lightning bolt struck him, then left a black mark on the meadow. In that instant, the sky suddenly blackened and emitted an extremely fierce energy.
An Hua took a tear of Xin Mei's former cloth, then raised her face looking at the beautiful afternoon sky.
“when my friends laugh at me, you are the one who came with an anxious face to treat me. I will never forget it.”

After going through a deadly fight, Dai Heng still lost against Tang Li who seemed like an impenetrable wall.
He could now only contend with the wounds on his body. A sword in his hand remained in his grasp tightly. Until he died, he kept holding it.
His face was dully bowed covered by his slightly yellowish black hair.
Fresh blood flowed everywhere. The lands formed carvings and the trees there were some weighing in the battle.
While Tang Li stood firm then smiled coldly looking at Dai Heng.
“You were the first to amaze me with your determination that burns like fire and moves like a towering mountain without a hitch.”
Tang Li then walked away and disappeared.
Not far from there, Yulan looked at her husband then approached him. Her face was flat but her heart was already broken seeing her husband fall in battle.
In front of Dai Heng, he extended his hand. A yellow flower appeared in her hand.
He then squatted down and cried. Her tears could no longer be shed.
“I will... save our daughter... Rest in peace there.”
He then took out his scarred left hand and placed the flower there.

Xin Mei stood on a staircase that was out of nowhere. The surroundings were filled with endless white clouds, as if this was the path to heaven.
He stood with his body naked. But there was not the slightest bit of shame in his eyes. He then walked down the stairs.
Once in front of the door, he slowly opened the enormous door. However, before that happened, a male figure appeared there and pulled him towards the bottom.
He slid down until his body hit the surface of the sea very hard. But his body kept sliding down.
Then, he blinked his eyes and tried to stop his body from going down deeper.
His face was filled with question marks and astonishment. He then attempted to head upwards with both feet and his hands in a swing.
However, he would never be able to reach sea level so high above. Still, he kept trying to go up.
Colorful fish surrounded him and jellyfish danced on his sides.
He opened his mouth and wanted to breathe. He wanted to scream for help. But who can help him?
In that despair, he let his body slowly descend downwards. Both eyes he closed.
A single grain of tears dripped down from the sidelines of her beautiful eyelashes.
He had resigned and considered this the end of his life.
In his heart, full of regret for not being able to avenge the death of his parents. Regretfully also did not care about a prince's attention to him. Also, regret living without experiencing happiness and peace.

“Nona, what are you doing? Where are my dresses!?” said one of the servants approaching a girl writing something on the ground with her funny face.
“Be quiet, I'm writing something.” Said the girl while crouching and did not care the servant's sigh.
“What are you writing?” the woman became curious.
“communicate with earth. Auntie knows, if besides mother, this land is also my mother and my father. I want to ask for happiness from him.”
“Who told you?” the servant girl crouched down beside him while staring at what the girl had written.
“Nothing. I was thinking if all the things we needed came from the ground. If I ask for something, it might be granted because everything comes from there.”
“Is it true?”
“If not tried we will not know.”
“What does the lady ask? Handsome guy?”
“Iya, there it is. I want to get a Man who is from the kingdom, so that I can go anywhere safely and have a very high status in the kingdom.”

Xin Mei woke up in a view of the grass. The fire was burning brightly not far around.
There Tang Li stood up and asked how about her condition.
Xin Mei dropped one tear and smiled. “What do you see! Am I okay!? Where are you! Why did you let me get hurt like this. You always come late. I thought I would die right then and there. And think if you think I'm not important anymore. You're a fucking asshole!” Xin Mei wiped her tears.
In his heart was full of anger and sadness and hatred.
Tang Li approached her.
“You still I consider important?”
“Yes, you're right, otherwise, where might you save me.”
Xin Mei then walked over staring at the sunlight that started to appear beautifully in the morning.
He said gently, “Can you take care of me?”
Tang Li was silent for a moment and replied, “ I don't know.”
