Do Away With It
The general went outside, with Mei Deng in tow, and truly, they were faced with the same woman from the kite shop, who had two children strapped to her sides.
Some of his soldiers from the crossbow regiment had their weapons drawn to them. The children had frightened expressions on their faces, a clear indicator that they were frightened.
"Entering general Wang." One of soldiers announced, the others parted way, allowing the general to step forward.
The woman crouched down and discreetly grabbed some sand into her palm, as the general steadily approached, she clutched her fingers into a tight fist.
"You're the woman from the shop, I assume that you're here to ask about your husband." The general stated in a civil tone, with his hands behind his back.
"Give him back to us!" The woman screamed at the top of her lungs, with tears dried at her eyes.
