I carry a small carangka containing fruits and vegetables as our supplies, as well as uncle lao, only the carangka carried is much more than mine and also heavier weight, he said, we say goodbye to my mother, I never thought that this would happen, but I had to be strong to deal with this, because I was the hope for her
" Isyana, by the way, where are you going ? "
" lao, it looks like I'm going south and I'm going to work there "
" keep Te well, I entrust everything to you "
And then we separated after that
We walked to the west and my mother walked to the south, we walked together to leave the house full of memories and the meaning of life, we promised to meet again in the old house ten years later, now I am fifteen years old, and that means we will be reunited at twenty-five years old.
" me see you ! " call me to my mother
" keep yourself well "my mother replied as she waved at me.
...****************...
We continued to walk westward, where we passed through a dense forest, the sun rose and the rays began to blow into the forest, we walked a little and then rested under a large leafy tree, we ate up a little bit of our supplies to add a little bit of power that had already begun to weaken due to the long distance.
" hey, you don't eat too much, our journey is still very long" said uncle lao
" you want me dead ? " said myself while throwing my bite-marked apple at him, but uncle lao managed to avoid it.
" even being thrown so close that you can't hit me, hahaha "the devil again.
" i can get to you later, just look "
I also felt annoyed and went back to eating the supplies that were in the carangka.
as I was about to bite the fruit, I saw a beautiful butterfly passing in front of my eyes, my body moved and was about to catch it, but quickly uncle lao stopped me.
Tringggg
The pounding of the swords clashing against each other sounded so loud, someone wearing a mask suddenly attacked me, but was lucky to be driven away by uncle lao.
" the number three rule of a swordsman is not to attack the weak" said uncle lao with a cynical smile.
The mask wearer also continued to swing his sword brutally, his movements were very fast, uncle lao continued to move to protect me from the sword attack of the mask wearer, the mask wearer, uncle lao looked so serious facing him and even seemed occasionally overwhelmed to dispel his attacks.
The mask wearer took out a butterfly in his sleeve, it moved very slowly towards me.
" te, stay there don't move, and cover your nose and mouth, the butterfly spreads poison through the air" explained uncle lao.
Then the mask wearer attacked again and now he focuses on uncle lao, his attacks are increasingly blind, even I can not see it clearly.
" it seems like I should kill you first "murried the mask wearer to uncle lao.
Whether what happened to the leaves on the trees fell and like gathered into a giant ball, uncle lao stared intently at the foliage that had been patterned
Uncle lao muttered "this is not good "
He prepared for all the consequences that would be had today, he stood up straight sighing deeply, and concentrated fully, there might be a strong attack that had to be blocked.
" are you okay ? " ask uncle lao
" yes, I'm fine "my answer
" uncle lao, you're hurt" said I, worried about his bloodied body.
But the attack did not reach there, the mask wearer appeared from above and was about to slash the nape of uncle lao, at that time I shouted to his name, calling his name, thankfully uncle lao managed to avoid him and slashed the ribs of the mask wearer.
The fight was over, the mask-wearing was unable to fight anymore, he fled.
" now you know why you have to become stronger "uncle Lao scolded.
After that I promised myself to be stronger, I did not want to bother and hurt others anymore.
Uncle lao also collected back our supplies that had been scattered after the fight that had happened, he also used his technique so that he could collect everything quickly, so he could gather everything quickly, he only moves the fruits and vegetables into the carangka with the instructions of his hands only.
" uncle lao you're so great "praise me to him
" stop praising, take this and we continue the journey again" he said
We also continued our journey
I really didn't expect that to happen, I really felt like I was just a burden, oh yes by the way the mask wearer was the first person I met after uncle lao and my mother, I should have asked his name, but ah already next time.
" uncle lao, how about your wound "quote
" hahaha, this is just a small wound "he replied
" look at the wound healed" he continued, pointing it at me.
I who saw it was astonished, the scratches that were so many could heal so quickly.
" how did you do it ? " many
He did not answer and simply continued on his way.
Step by step a little by a little bit of your way through, the day began to afternoon, but our feet refused to stop.
" te, we have to keep going, this forest will soon be penetrated" said uncle lao
" hmm, alright anyway I don't have much choice "
At that time uncle Lao told me that we would arrive in a small village and settle temporarily in that place.
He also told me not to be careless and to practice what he had taught.
" te, you will begin to interact with the same humans as you, so I'm gradual you don't do the "himba thing
Yes, I can only nod and obey what he is receiving.
