The Story of White Dragon
Ch. 4[Tragedy III]

"Sister, when are you coming home?"

Yu Nie asked as she shook her two legs.

"Sister doesn't know. Maybe it's a little night."

Yu Bai and Yu Nie were currently in front of the house. Yu Nie ate the sweets she brought herself and Yu Bai was currently reading a book.

Although their families were not well-off, their Father and Mother gave them the knowledge they knew. Like reading and writing. Yu Bai was already able to read and write when he was four years old. A very young age, not to mention Yu Bai's intelligence that appeared when he was seven years old.

The villagers called Yu Bai a child of light because of the cleverness and handsome face that Yu Bai had.

"Yu Nie, let's learn to write."

Yu Nie looked back, she saw her mother sitting in front of a small table on which was a book.

"No mother! Writing is so hard."

It was different with Yu Bai. Yu Nie was very difficult to teach. Even Yu Nie did not know too much about letters and how to write.

"Nie'er, you have to learn. How can you read a book if you're lazy."

Yu Nie looked at Yu Bai. "Aren't there any sisters who would read to me?"

Yu Bai coughed hearing that. "Nie'er, is your brother a walking book?"

Innocently Yu Nie nodded. "Yes. Because brother Bai likes to read."

Yu Bai was silent. He went back to reading his book.

"Yu Nie, let's learn to write. Just a minute."

Yu Xia smiled gently at Yu Nie. Yu Nie who saw the mother's smile at the end obeyed her mother's invitation.

"All right, but just for a minute."

Yu Xia smiled. "Yes, just a minute."

Yu Nie sat down before Yu Xia. Yu Xia began to tell how to write how, and occasionally Yu Nie complained about how difficult writing was.

Yu Bai only smiled slightly looking at her. He went back to reading the book he always read in his spare time.

The title was 'Five martial techniques'. This book was given by his ayagnya, although it could not predict it directly, but Yu Bai understood a little about the martial arts of this book.

The book that Yu Bai had read also contained information about the swordsman and rank that the swordsman had.

Right now Yu Bai was reading the flowing water kick technique.

The kick of running water there are four techniques. That is the broken water kick, the sharp water kick, the water kick froze, the water kick fell.

Yu Bai was interested in the flowing water Kick because his father often practiced this martial art. Yu Bai saw his father kicking in the empty air, and there were several times Yu Bai saw water emerging from the empty air. Yu Bai would not forget the beautiful scenery of that time.

"Yu Xia! Yu Xia!"'s!"

Yu Bai looked at a middle-aged woman who was running towards his house. A panicked look on the middle-aged woman.

Yu Xia who heard his name was called immediately out of the house. "Aunt Xue? What was? Why are you yelling at me?"

Aunt Xue was still trying to catch her breath. When her breathing had improved, aunt Xue immediately said what to say next.

"Your husband!"

"Husband?"

"Dad?"

Aunt Xue looked at Yu Nie and Yu Bai alternately. "Your husband is stricken"

SHUTTS...

"Aunt Xue!"

An arrow stuck in Aunt Xue's body. Aunt Xue had fallen over, but aunt Xue's body was being held back by Yu Xia.

"Run."

"Aunt Xue! Wh-what do you mean!"

Aunt Xue looked at Yu Xia seriously. "Run Yu Xia! The pirates have already detained the villagers! Take kidsm-uhukk!"

"Aunt Xue!"

Yu Xia panicked when he saw Aunt Xue spewing blood from her mouth. Aunt Xue's face also paled, and her body felt cold.

"There's a woman who ran away! Hurry along!"

The intelligent Yu Bai immediately understood what he was hearing. He quickly pulled his mother.

"Mother, there are pirates in this village. Looks like they meant badly."

Yu Xia was still unwilling to leave Aunt Xue who was currently motionless. Then Yu Xia recalled about aunt Xue's words.

"Your father. Something must have happened to him!"

Yu Xia wanted to go over to Yu Sha. Yu Xia was convinced that Yu Sha was currently seriously injured.

Yu Xia looked at Yu Bai. "Yu Bai, don't hinder mom."

Yu Bai was surprised, "Mother, do you want us both to have no parents anymore?"

"Yu Bai, what do you mean!?"

"Mother!"

Yu Xia was surprised. All this time Yu Bai was a meek boy. He never snapped at anyone, but this time Yu Bai yelled at Yu Xia, snapping at his own mother.

Tears from Yu Bai's eyes. "Mom, don't you think about how I and Nie'er feel?"

Yu Xia became guilty. He looked at Yu Bai, then looked at Yu Nie who was currently staring at aunt Xue's body. For a child of Yu Nie's age, the sight he saw made Yu Nie become frightened.

Yu Xia bowed, "Yu Bai, mother, take care of your sister."

"Mother..."

Yu Xia smiled, then Yu Xia looked at Yu Nie who was still frozen. "Yu Nie, I'm sorry I can't accompany you anymore."

"Mother, don't be like this. Let's get out of the village."

Yu Bai pulled Yu Xia's hand. But Yu Xia remained silent, Yu Xie shook his head slowly.

"Yu Bai, you can't leave me."

Unable to resist, Yu Bai's tears flowed. No wonder the family who loved him so much would disappear like this.

"There! There's one woman and two little kids! Hurry, hurry!"

Yu Xia who heard it became panicked. "Yu Bai, take your sister away!"

"But..."

"No buts, take your sister away!"

Yu Xia stood up as if ready for what would happen next. Yu Bai bit her lips, she wanted to stay here with her mother helping her mother deal with the problem.

But he realized he was weak. Extremely weak.

"Mom, we'll see each other again, won't we?"

Yu Xia glanced at Yu Bai. Yu Xia smiled. "Of course, I'm going home with your father."

Yu Bai knew what his mother said was a lie, but in her little heart Yu Bai was hopeful. What his mother said was true.

Yu Bai turned around, he walked over to Yu Nie who was still speechless. Suddenly Yu Bai carried Yu Nie, then ran away leaving her mother behind.

After being in Yu Bai's arms, Yu Nie regained her senses.

"Sister, which mother?"

Yu Bai gritted his teeth. He was upset about how weak he was. Her sister Yu Nie was still faithfully waiting for her brother to answer her given request.

"Sister, which mother?"

"Mother.mom will be home later."

"Going home? Isn't our house in san-"

Yu Nie did not answer. He looked back and he saw black smoke. Yu Nie widened her eyes.

"Sister, mother...I'm still there, aren't I!"

"Yu Nie's..."

Yu Bai further tightened his sling. Yu Bai was aware of what Yu Nie had said.

His mother's still there. Either alive or dead.

"Down Yu Nie!"

Yu Nie rebelled. Yu Bai became difficult to move with Yu Nie who continued to rebel.

"Yu Nie!"

Yu Bai yelled at Yu Nie loudly. Yu Nie was silent hearing it. Hearing an always meek Yu Bai suddenly snapped at him.

"Nie'er, mom's gonna be fine."

Yu Nie hugged Yu Bai tightly. Inside his arms was the sound of sobs. At the age of Yu Nie who was only six years old, he had lost the figure of a father and a mother.

Yu Nie looked back towards the house she used to live in. All he saw was trees.

On the sidelines of the trees, Yu Nie saw something sparkling due to the afternoon sunlight.

After a long time of looking, Yu Nie knew what that thing was.

"SISTER BAI!"

SHUTTS....
