Rescue Me, My Love

You Got What You Deserved

     Bai Baohu Zhe was born into a very poor family.  When he was four years old, he was sold to the family of one of the emperors top generals.  As he grew, it was noticed that he was a very pretty young boy.  The general, being a rather lascivious man with a taste for boys, noticed him.  He watched the boy closely.  He had him trained to keep his armor and weapons cleaned and to be his personal valet.  He was eight years old the first time the general used him.  He knew, since he was a slave, that crying out for help was useless.  The general threatened him when he cried.  The more he cried, the more brutal the assault.  He took the abuse with stoic resolve.  For years he endured the abuse.  Sexual abuse, physical abuse, being forced to endure all sorts of sexual perversion.  When he was sixteen years old, they were fighting in a war with a smaller kingdom.  Baohu had to go to serve the general and keep his weapons clean.  A battle was fought that lasted for days.  Every night the general would abuse him.  Every night.  He was in the middle of sex when the camp was attacked.  The general was killed and Baohu was taken prisoner.  He silently endured his punishment.  He was caged with many others, some were soldiers and others just slaves.  They were kept caged for months until the army arrived in their own city.  Being afraid down to the core of his being, Baohu remained stoically silent when others asked him questions.  They all finally figured out he couldn't talk.  The general had cut his vocal cords. 
     After two months in the city as prisoners, they were all put on the block and sold.  They were stripped naked and paraded on a dais for people to see.  The madam of the biggest flower house in town bought Baohu.  She decided if he was well fed, he would be good for her business.  He was young but it looked like he would grow into a fine little plaything.  She took him to the flower house and had her girls bathe him and feed him.  He was starved.  He ate like it was his last meal.  After decent clothes were brought for him, he waited by the table.  The madam came in, sat down and questioned him.  "Well my fine young man, why didn't you protest like the others did at being sold?"  He shrugged.  "Can't you talk?"  He shook his head no.  She brought paper, pen and ink.  She pointed at it and asked him if he could write.  He nodded yes.  "Tell me your age."  He wrote, "I think I'm sixteen."  "So you were in control of someone in the enemy camp.  Were you a slave?"  "Yes."  "Who owned you."  "General Kai."  "You mean that abuser of boys owned you?"  "Yes."  "So how many years did he use you?"  "Eight."  "Hmmm. I see.  Well you will be used differently here.  You rest for a week first.  Then your lessons begin.  I see no mark on you telling me you are a slave."  "He said I was too pretty to mark."  "I see.  Rest then.  You will have your own room from now on.  I will expect you to service those women and men who will be brought to you."  He was allowed to rest for two weeks to regain his strength.  The madam found out through more talks that he had never been with a woman.  She sent one of her younger girls to teach him.  Having been used by a man, he had no knowledge of how to react.  It was awkward at first, but he slowly got the hang of it.  He learned well and very quickly found out that he liked sex this way a lot.  That very weekend the madam brought him his first customer.  An older woman that he was to thoroughly pleasure until he had used her up.  He used every method and device at his disposal until she begged to be left alone.  Months went by and he was paid for by males and females.  He made a lot of money for the madam.  She had more than made her money back with him. 
     For years Baohu worked in the flower house.  He was now nearing the age of forty.  He had saved money when he could.  He bought his freedom.  He knew he was now too old to be a prostitute.  He had to find another way to live.  He left town with a resolve to find something to do.  He went to the temple on the outskirts of town to pray to the great dragon god to exact vengeance for him.  He had been used and abused.  His body was weak and he was diseased from sexual overuse.  He knew he wouldn't live much longer.  He stayed at the temple on his knees until a monk finally had compassion on him.  He asked him what he wanted out of life.  Being unable to talk, he could only make signs with his hands.  The monks there decided to let him stay.  For twenty years he worked there.  Whatever needed doing, he would do without complaint.  He made toys for any children that came there, he learned to cook and he taught martial arts, a skill the general had taught him.  Every day he would go into the temple and look at the painting that was there on the back wall.  It was a mural of two dragons, one golden and one black.  They were exactly the same except for their color.  He was fascinated by the mural.  He was sitting before it staring when one of the monks told him about the great dragon twins.  He heard the whole story of how the golden one was born, but the black one died but was saved by Fuxi.  The golden one died in a war protecting the heavens from evil.  When he died, the black one was born.  The golden one returned from chaos to be the God of War while the black one ruled the heavens.  He was intrigued.  Somehow he felt like he knew those dragons.  He smiled and left the room.  Nearing sixty, he knew he was about to die.  He lay on his sick bed for a month before he died.  He had no family, no wife and no children.  He died utterly alone in this world.
     Bai Baohu Zhe awoke laying on his bed in his room.  He now understood what it meant to be abused, just like he had hurt Li Li.  He knew what it meant to be a sexual toy, just like Shao Wan had intended him to be.  He knew what it meant to be alone with no children and no wife.  He now understood.  He had no voice then.  He doesn't have one now because of his idiotic mistakes.  He knew he should have done better.  He knew his Fuqin had brought him up to be better, but he had let his cocky attitude get the best of him.  Yes, he deserved what he got.  He was still there when his Fuqin walked in his door.  He sat beside him and took his hand into his.  His soft voice was the best thing he had ever heard in his life.  "How are you, Baohu?"  "Fuqin!"  His voice was a soft rasp.  His hand went to his throat.  He stared at his loving Fuqin.  "Fuqin, I need to make some decisions.  I promise not to do anything stupid.  Will you trust me?"  Mo Yuan looked at Baohu right in his honey colored eyes.  "So be it.  I will await your decisions.  Do you wish for me to put a barrier over your door?"  "Yes please."  Mo Yuan patted his face, rose from the bed and walked out the door.  He placed the barrier and left him to his thoughts.  All of his siblings were there except for Lei, Jingsi and Jiaxiao.  "Well Fuqin?  Is he ok?"  "Yes, I think he is.  He told me he had decisions to make.  He has regained some of his voice.  He promised me he would not do anything stupid.  Let's just let him alone to decide his path for now."  They followed him to the hall. 
     Jingsi and Jiaxiao woke from their nap feeling quite refreshed.  They stretched and then looked intently at each other.  "Si ge!"  They climbed down off of their bed and went on a vendetta to find their Si ge.  They crawled down the hall to the door and encountered the barrier.  They touched it at the same time and broke it.  Baohu was laying on the bed still.  He was lost in his thoughts when he felt their presence.  "Si ge!  Si ge!"  Jingsi whispered to him.  He looked down to see their beautiful little faces looking at him.  He sat up and reached for them.  Jingsi patted his face ever so softly.  "Si ge be hurt.  Si ge be hurt but we make better."  They looked at him intently and laid their heads one on each side of his neck.  They both touched his throat.  He felt the warmth of their embrace and the healing in their hands.  He hugged them close.  After a moment they looked at him again.  Jiaxiao talked into his mind.  "Si ge, we kill demon queen.  We go to her house and we kill her.  She hurt Si ge.  She laugh at us and laugh cause she hurt you.  We burn her up.  We teach her.  She no hurt you no more."  "Si ge is happy...."  His voice was restored.  He hugged them close.  "Si ge is happy you have done this.  Si ge loves you very much.  Si ge was going to leave and never come back, but you have changed my mind.  I'm going to be ok.  Do you think Fengbao and WuYun would want me?  I want to love them."  "Si ge, they want you.  You Fuqin."  "Very well.  Let's go see Fuqin."  He waved his hand and restored his room.  He hung his blades on their stand and his armor.  He nodded and walked out the door holding a baby girl in each arm.  He walked to his Fuqin's study but he wasn't there.  He walked into the hall and saw them all.  Mo Yuan looked up and saw him carrying Jingsi and Jiaxiao.  Why did he know those girls had been up to something?  Bai Xue followed his Fuqin's gaze.  He stood and ran to Baohu.  He took him into his arms along with Jingsi and Jiaxiao.  "Baohu, I'm so glad you're back!  Come sit with us.  We have missed you, didi."  Baohu walked to his Fuqin and handed the girls to him.  "Fuqin, don't be angry at them, for you see, they healed me in more ways than one."  They all looked at him in wonder.  "You mean to tell me they healed your throat?"  "Yes, they did!  I was going to leave but they convinced me otherwise.  Did they really kill Shao Wan?"  "Yes, Baohu, they did.  After hearing Ye Hua rant about killing her because of what she did to you, they took it upon themselves to teach her a lesson.  They burned her up and each one of them collected four feathers from her.  They were very righteously angry over what she did.  Needless to say, they love you.  They wanted you.  They have become very close to Fengbao and WuYun too.  Need I say more?"  "Fuqin, I wish to talk to you in private please."  "Follow me then.  Jingsi!  Jiaxiao!  Go to the nursery and Si ge and I will be there shortly!  Go on now!"  They left his arms and flew off to their room.
     They went to Mo Yuan's study.  He threw a barrier over the door.  "Fuqin, is there any way to recover my reputation?  My honor?  What can I do?  If there is no way, then neither you, nor Mother nor any of my siblings will stop me from jumping off Zhuxian Terrace.  I will kill myself because I will have nothing to live for."  "Tianjun Ye Hua has been spreading it around that at first, we all thought you had done some terrible things.  He had it told that you had been charmed by Shao Wan when we extended the hand of friendship.  It has now been told what Jingsi and Jiaxiao have done to her.  Their anger was so righteous that pure white fire burned her up.  There may be hope to get you out of this.  I will call Shandian Li's Fuqin to come talk to you.  Your voice is still a little raspy.  That could work in your favor.  Baohu, this whole affair has caused many ripples in the kingdom.  If it gets out that you were charmed, many will question your ability.  Can you explain how she got you?"  "She threw it right in my face, Fuqin.  Right into my eyes.  What could have happened to me?  I need to talk to Da ge.  I need to know what Li Li said before she died.  Fuqin, I'm alone now.  I only have my family.  Before I see my boys, I have to have hope of being able to live a decent life.  I had made up my mind to move out of my room, pack up my things and just leave.  I didn't want to live anymore.  Jingsi and Jiaxiao changed my mind.  They really want me.  What can I possibly be for them if I don't have my former station in life?"  "Baohu, you say she threw that charm into your eyes?  She saw something there then.  I will do what I can to clear your name.  I believe it will all depend on Li Li's Fuqin.  You caused her death, even though you were charmed.  I will message him to come after lunch.  Now I wish for you to rest.  I want you to write your trial experience for me.  I know it was hard, but write every detail.  Now, my Xiao Jin Huli, let's go see your boys.  They are really a sight to behold."
     Mo Yuan walked into the nursery with Baohu behind him.  Jingsi and Jiaxiao immediately came to him.  "Si ge!  You better now?"  They hugged him and held on tight to him.  "You stay here now!  Be good Fuqin!  Be God of War!  Be proud son of Fuqin!  No be fraid of anybody!"  "Si ge is here to stay.  I don't know if I can be the god of war anymore.  That will have to be decided later.  Now let me visit with my boys.  Si ge loves you very much!  Now go to Fuqin!"  Mo Yuan took them into his arms and sat on the bed with them.  Baohu hesitated for a moment before he went to stand by the cradle.  He looked at their beautiful white fur and thought of Shandian Li's beautiful white coat.  Fengbao was just waking up from a nap.  He looked intently at his Fuqin.  A small little voice came into Baohu's mind.  "Fuqin?  You come?"  "Yes, my son, I have come.  Do you want me?"  "Fengbao want Fuqin."  Baohu picked him up and held him close.  He hummed the lullaby to him.  WuYun looked at him and whined.  He put Fengbao down and picked up WuYun.  He cuddled him close too.  He spoke to him.  "Do you want me, WuYun?"  A lick to his face was his answer.  He placed him back into the crib with his brother and rocked it until they slept again.  He turned his face to his Fuqin and tears were running down his face.  It was going to be hard, but he knew in his heart that his Fuqin would help him every step of the way.
     Kai Yonggan Ke came to see Mo Yuan that afternoon.  He was told about Baohu's trial, his boys accepting him and just what Shao Wan had done.  He sat with his head hung in silence for a moment before he spoke.  "There is great anger in our tribe over Li Li's death, but if he was charmed, that explains everything.  May I talk to the boy?  Before you strip his titles, let me talk to him."  Mo Yuan nodded and led him to Baohu's room.  Mo Yuan knocked.  A raspy voice called out.  "Enter".  When Baohu saw the general, he got down on his knees and bowed to him.  "Please, if you have it in your heart to forgive me?  I love her and her love will always be in my heart.  I will never have another in my life.  Please forgive me?"  He bowed three times, his head hitting the floor each time.  Tears were streaming down Yonggan Ke's face.  "Baohu, I know you have suffered!  I know this!  I forgive you!  Your Fuqin has explained to me what was done to you.  How are your eyes?  You must seek treatment from your didi, the great medicine king.  Strengthen your eyes.  Now rise!  Let me see my sunzis!"  "Baohu, stay here and rest today.  I wish for Jinzi to look at your eyes too.  Call him to you after we leave."  When they left, he called Jinzi.  "San ge, Fuqin said for you to come look at my eyes.  Can you come?"  "I'll be right there.  Rest until I get there."
     Mo Yuan and Yonggan Ke went to the nursery.  Bai Qian was there reading stories to them.  Jingsi, Jiaxiao, Fengbao and WuYun were listening with rapt attention.  When Mo Yuan walked in, the children deserted her and ran to him.  He sat on the floor and motioned for Yonggan Ke to do the same.  Jingsi sat in her Fuqin's lap and stared at Yonggan Ke.  She pointed her little finger at him and made a declaration.  "Him Shandian Li's Fuqin.  Him Zufu to Fengbao and WuYun.  Him general.  Him mighty horse warrior.  Me like!"  She jumped from Mo Yuan to Yonggan Ke.  She stared him right in the eye.  He had to admit that stare sent just a twinge of fear down his spine.  He decided better to be friend than foe.  "So, little one, can I know your name?"  "Me Jingsi.  Me dragin.  You horse.  Me want to see horse.  Fuqin take Jingsi to see horse?"  "Do you mind, General?" "Not at all!  Let me talk to Fengbao and WuYun and then I will show you!"  Mo Yuan called them over to him.  Yonggan Ke motioned to them to come to him.  They nuzzled his neck and licked his face.  "Such handsome fellows you are!!  Zufu will try to visit you more.  Will that be ok?"  More licks!  He set them down and rose from the floor.  "Would you bring them to the arena?  I'll show the little one my horse!"  Bai Qian carried Fengbao and WuYun and Mo Yuan carried Jingsi and Jiaxiao.  When they arrived there, General Kai ran into the arena, transforming as he did.  He was a very powerful white stallion, muscular, of perfect build and strength.  His nose was black.  His mane and tail flowed like rippling waves on the beach.  He reared and called his stallion call.  Jingsi and Jiaxiao wanted to touch him.  Mo Yuan sat them on his back.  He sat Fengbao and WuYun there too.  The General turned his head to smell them.  He nodded and walked slowly around the arena with his precious cargo.  He returned to stand by Mo Yuan.  He took them off and sat them down.  He transformed and squatted down to be on their level.  Jiaxiao patted his arm.  "You come.  Teach us.  We learn."  He looked at Mo Yuan for confirmation.  He nodded.  "Jiaxiao, General Kai is very powerful and strong.  He knows spells that you could benefit from learning.  Do you wish to learn?"  "Me learn."  "General, if you would, you could come early in the mornings and show them some spells.  They learn quickly.  Fengbao and WuYun also need to understand their zufu better.  Agreed?"  "Agreed!"
     Jinzi came as quickly as he could to examine Baohu's eyes.  He looked into each one and worked a spell with his hands.  He took a red piece of cloth out of his case.  "Baohu, what color is this cloth?"  "Gray."  He brought out his handkerchief that Chen Bo had embroidered for him with peach blossoms on it.  They were different shades of pink.  "What colors are on my handkerchief?"  Baohu took it and turned it around in several different directions.  "They look like shades of gray to me."  Jinzi had on a white robe with blue trim on it.  "What about my robe?"  "It's white with some kind of gray trim."  "Baohu, Shao Wan destroyed your ability to see colors.  I'm going to make some drops for your eyes.  You will have to wear a covering over your eyes for one month.  Can you do this?  Maybe have Shiba and Shijiu help you.  They need more time around you anyway.  Sit here while I go make this medicine."  Baohu looked at his hands and realized that everything was gray, very gray.  He was about to rise when he was struck with intense pain in his eyes.  He closed them and laid down on his bed.  He was there when Jinzi returned with their Fuqin.  "Baohu, I have your eye drops.  Let me tend you now."  Baohu's eyes were wide open.  The spell Shao Wan threw at him was attacking his eyes, even though she was dead.  When Jinzi puts the drops in his eyes, he hissed in his breath with pain.  "Will this help, Jinzi?  I feel like something is in both of my eyes."  Jinzi scanned Baohu's eyes carefully.  He worked his hands and cast a spell. His concentration was intense as he worked.  His brow came together as he increased his power.  Mo Yuan watched him carefully.  From his point of view, it looked like Jinzi was in a battle of some sort.  A trickle of blood came out of his nose.  Mo Yuan shot energy to him as he wavered.  He nodded and finished his battle.  A strange eerie glow of orange appeared in his hand.  He produced a bottle and placed the glow inside and corked it.  Jinzi sat down hard on the bed.  "It's a spell of destruction.  Her spell not only cast a sexual charm on you, Baohu, but her spell was attacking your eyes slowly but surely.  Another few days and you would have been blinded.  I'm so glad Jingsi and Jiaxiao killed her!  You will have to wear this cloth over your eyes for a few days.  I'll be here to put these drops in your eyes for you for a month.  After a month we will remove the bandage.  Fuqin will help you, wont you?"  "Indeed I will!  Rest now Baohu.  Tomorrow you have an audience with Tianjun Ye Hua.  He is going to attempt to restore your reputation.  I will come get you for dinner.  Now rest."
