A SUDDEN ARROW

Reinforcements were on the way when something got in the way. she was a girl on the floor.

Xue had thrown herself as close to the wall of the mountain in the face of her although everything was going well in the end a rock got in the way of her and she ended up rolling down the end of the mountain.

"what is that?" one of the soldiers shouted

Qing Yu got off the horse, she slowly approached when Xue suddenly stood up.

"She is not dead!" another soldier exclaimed

Qing Yu slowly approached Xue Yun "Are you okay?"

Xue got up and shook as much land as possible, then bowed "good night gentlemen, I'm sorry to have gotten in your way, however, I recommend you leave this area or take another truck up the mountain is the enemy base. they were chasing me and I decided to jump down the mountain "

The soldiers were surprised such a small girl had been able to jump from those heights and survive and not only that, but she had been able to find the enemy base and leave practically unharmed on the spot.

The captain in charge got off the horse and approached the little girl "what are you calling young lady?"

"An apology, my name is Xue Yun"

The captain made a thoughtful gesture and then said "Xue?"

"That's right, my biological mother called me like that, although later she abandoned me"

The face of the soldiers darkened at such a phrase

but his peace went from one moment to another somewhat chaotic

Xue gestured to Qing Yu for her to come closer and whispered "they're watching us"

He turned around and saw that the little girl was right, they were watching them and were aiming at them with their bows.

From one moment to another a scream unbalanced Qing "watch out" Xue had thrown herself on him receiving the impact of the arrow on one of her shoulders.

Qing couldn't react like that girl was willing to sacrifice her life for someone she didn't know.

"Fire" a shout from the soldiers was heard and a shower of arrows began. luckily there were no casualties on the side of the soldiers and the bodies of the enemies had collapsed towards the base of the mountain, remaining at the feet of the horses.

Qing still did not understand that she had just passed before her eyes, Xue got up and extended her hand "do you need help?"

Qing took her hand "thank you but why did you do it?"

Xue smiled "due to the trajectory in which the arrow was approaching, it was likely that it would go towards your heart but if it pushed you, the possibility that I would die was few"

The captain couldn't help but smile "how did you know that young lady?"

"My father was in the army for a while, then he fell in love with my mother and went to work in the capos"

"Where are they now?" asked Qing

"Dead" her voice took on a dry tone and her eyes grew dim.

"I ... I ... sorry, I had no idea"
