FINDING MY WAY ☯️

9.When the three met

Gao Rang has taken YiJun out to pick some herbs. As YiJun was on bed for nearly a month he had become very stiff. His movements were not very flexible. Gao Rang suggested YiJun to accompany him to pick herbs so that he can have some fresh air and his movements will also be back in place after some walking.

They had just finished picking the herbs and were returning home when YiJun's mind was flashed with a Tiger. Before he could understand the situation, his mind was reacting automatically. He was sure his mind was coordinating with some girl who was in trouble.

The girl seems very young but surprisingly she was of quick wit.

When he was talking to the girl in his mind at the same time he saw a group of people probably thieves running after a boy of his age.

The boy was about to fall after hitting a stone. For some reason his body quickly reacted and he caught the boy.

The boy had his eyes closed. By the looks of him though he was wearing very ordinary clothes it was clear that he came from a noble family.

He was radiant, though in panic state he seemed determined. YiJun felt that the little girl in his mind and the boy in his arms are very similar.

He didn't know how that girl looks like because he was watching her situation from her perspective and there was no chance he could see her unless she is in front of mirror. But YiJun felt that these two people must have been carved from the same mold.

The boy slowly opened his eyes and saw Yijun. He was stunned to look at him as if he has known him. But before YiJun could ask him anything the thieves had caught up.

Gao Rang was already in a position ready to defend both YiJun and the boy. This time the thieves didn't waste time in talking but directly attacked.

After having company Ming Hao had already gained is composure. All three of them were engaged in fight with seven people. They were young but fearless. Gao Rang too was stunned for a moment looking at the way YiJun was attacking. It was as if he was born with leading quality. He was so swift that the thieves couldn't even register some of his moves.

Here YiJun could feel that he has become some other person. He had lost his memory but his body was so well versed with the fight moves as though he has practiced a lot. On the other hand his mind was assisting the girl's battle.

He himself could not believe what was happening to him. As if he was not one person. He could both fight and assist the girl in mind. How is that even possible?

While physically he was still fighting, the girl has already subdued the Tiger. Someone has come to her aid too. He must be her guard. The girl wanted to have a chat with him but he was busy fighting so he told her to get home.

He himself wanted to find out about what is happening. Will they be able to communicate when the danger was over? He had his doubts too but the girl's safety was more important also he had important matters at hand.

He told the girl to keep it a secret. He was going to do the same, his mind and body behaving as if they are not of the same person. He has already lost his memory he was not going to tell this to other people and let the judge him as mad.

It's a little secret between the girl and him.

After sometime of fighting the thieves understood that these little looking boys are better at fighting then them. So the leader among them signaled the others and they left the three boys in hurry.

"Are you alright?" Ming Hao asked looking at both YiJun and Gao Rang.

"Yes, and you?" Gao Rang asked worriedly. Yijun just nodded.

"Absolutely fine, thank you very much for helping me." Ming Hao bowed at both of them.

"Spare the formalities brother. We are of same age I think. By the way I am Gao Rang, he is YiJun." Gao Rang introduced himself cheerfully.

After hearing the name YiJun Ming Hao's expression changed for a split second but he calmed himself down. This didn't go unnoticed by YiJun. He was sure this boy and he has some connection.

"Where are you heading?" Gao Rang continued.

"Ah.. I think I am lost. I was heading to one of my maternal uncles. He is a physician, my mother's cousin" said Ming Hao, it's that time when he noticed that YiJun was picking up the bag of the herbs from the ground.

"I think we are headed to same place. Who is Mr. Gao Rong to you?" asked Ming Hao clearly delighted.

"You know my uncle. He is my father's younger brother. Wai-t didn't you say he is your mother's cousin? That means we are distant cousins. This is great." Gao Rang was very pleased with his discovery.

"YiJun, I have a cousin now." He said happily.

YiJun just smiled and shook his head. Even though he didn't know Gao Rang too well he knew how much he likes to have people around.

"Don't mind him. He is always this cheerful." YiJun told Ming Hao now walking toward him.

The three of them began to walk towards the same destination.
