6 Pinkie promise....

After some time the carriage finally came to a stop. Two burly men dragged He Jian and He Mei Ya out of the carriage. They stood near the entrance of the forest and threw He Jian and He Mei Ya into the forest.

"Captain.. Why did you not kill them?? What if they escape??", a guard cannot help but ask.

Captain Da Yao angrily rebukes "One can only enter this Mo Ji range.. did you hear any one who entered returning alive?? Moreover, this is the order of crown prince. What? Do you want to disobey his highness's orders now?"

All of the guards fall to their knees and keep their heads down.

" All of you can return now. Even if you can enter the barrier you don't have the ability to break it to come outside. I and Bao Tai will leave those bodies in deeper parts of forest so that they cannot escape.", saying this the captain and the other man move forward and enter the forest. All the guards are tired. They look at each other and silently leave the place.

"Bao Tai.. let's go to the east side of this Mo Ji range. That place is safe for these kids. We can't leave them here in their condition.", making sure that no one is present Da Yao orders his sub-ordinate.

Bao Tai drops on his knees and solemnly vows " Captain, I respect this decision of yours. I will not mention this incident to other soul."

Captain Da Yao smiles " Bao Tai, I know that you are a good person and I can understand your situation for not helping these kids before. We cannot take them outside due to our positions. We can't oppose the royalty. Let's move. I know a safe place in eastern direction."

After walking for an hour an Da Yao spotted the place. It's an empty cave beside a small lake. They carefully placed the kids inside the cave leaving behind some food, money and medicine. After coming out of the cave Da Yao took a porcelain bottle and sprinkled some powder around the cave.

Bao Tai recognized it immediately. 'Beast repellent powder', as the name indicates it keeps most of the demonic beasts away. He looked at the captain with profound eyes.

Feeling his gaze Da Yao lightly smiles " Our ex-general commander He Jiao, did so much for our army. The Crown Prince is a fool for making an enemy out of He family. Just wait and see, the Crown prince will receive retribution for his sins soon. I am doing what ever I can so that these kids can live. Life always has many possibilities, whereas death is end to everything."

Bao Tai solemnly nodded his head, developing a deep respect for the captain in his heart. Taking a last glance at the cave, they leave the forest helplessly.

After the sound of their footsteps faded away, He Jian slowly sat up and He Mei Ya opened her eyes. As her body is weak and full of wounds, He Mei Ya remains in sleeping position. Both of them look at each other with a smile.

" That man is a good person.", He Jian slowly opens his mouth.

He Mei Ya smiles " Yes, we will remember this favor." They may be cold-blooded killers but they are not people without gratitude. Be it revenge or gratitude, they always returned it generously.

" Brother.. we are given a second chance to live. In this life, we are having a family and they are all good to these original bodies. Let us cherish them and teach a lesson to all those fuckers who despised our He family."

" Yes... My thought's are also the same. Let's live our life to the fullest.", He Jian smilingly looks at his little sister with eyes full of love and care.

Seeing her brother's smile, He Mei Ya lifts her hand "pinkie promise....".

Looking at his sister acting cute suddenly, He Jian chuckles. He rubs her head affectionately and hooks her finger with his "Alright... pinkie promise."
