Reap What You Sow

Chapter 4

As soon as Wei Ying reached the nearest town ,he immediately went looking for an inn. Still bewildered and a little bit angry, he walked through the doors. (Wei Ying are still thinking of himself as a boy, so he would refer to himself as he. Only until he accepts, of course).
The inn owner gave the young lady that walked through the door just one look and made his way over hastily. He bowed and said in a concerned voice and looked on his face.

"Young lady, are you fine? I do hope that the soldiers did not try to hurt you? Come, come sit down, let me get you some water. " And he waved Wei Ying over to an empty table.

" Young lady. Who are you talking to? " He looked around and saw no one.

"Ah, shame, what have they done to you?" The owner said, and Wei Ying gave him a confused look and pointed at himself.

"Yes, you. You are a young maiden? Are you not?". The owner now asked, confused as he looked at Wei Ying.

" Mmm, so you see it too right". Wei Ying asked wide eyes.

"See what?".

Now the owner is sure that those damn wen soldiers did something to this poor young maiden. Look, she even forgets that she is a woman. What a shame, really.

Wei Ying pointed at his chest and said.

"This. You see it. Ah, I wanna die. Please someone tell me that I am dreaming. " Wei Ying threw his hands up in the air.

The owner felt so bad for her. That instead he asked.

"Would you rather prefer a room, young lady. It seems that you went through quite the ordeal. May the gods strike those dead that had hurt you like this. You forgot that you are a woman. Poor thing. Let's get you to a room. "

"Yes, please, and a full-length mirror. I would really appreciate it. I do not know what happened. It all happened so fast that I was still in shock. Could you bring some wine. Lots of wine also. " Wei Ying spoke as the owner led him up the stairs to one of the rooms.

"Of course, no problem. I would also be. Poor thing. They have no respect, not even for an innocent and weak maiden like you. I just hope they did not do anything indecent to you. Oh, poor child. It is very dangerous out there, and do not worry, you will be safe here, and the room does have a full-length mirror. Does the young lady want bath water as well?". The owner talked as he pushed Wei Ying into the room.

"It is. The one moment you went to sleep as a man and the next you wake up with this on your chest and yingying is gone.  Poof probably never to be seen or feel again. How did this happen. There was no warning nothing just disappeared. " Wei Ying is still trying to comprehend what had happened said.

"Oh my god. They even took yingying. Oh, these wen have no shame or regard for other people's things. I just hope yingying had a quick and merciful death, young lady. I am so sorry for your loss. You must have loved him very much. " The owner said with a sad voice.

"I did. I liked to touch it. Play with it. Just to know how it feels. He was with me since birth, and now he is gone. No more. A part of me missing. Ripped from my own two hands into nothingness. Now I have to live with singsing. I don't even know who that is. " Wei Ying said as tears formed in his eyes.

"Oh, poor soul. But let me get you the bath water and wine. I just hope singsing will give just as much joy and love as yingying did. " The owner said and shook his head in sadness as he saw the despair on the young maidens face.

Poor thing to have lost someone you love so much. And so young in your life. The owner thought as he slid the door close behind him and made his way downstairs to fulfill the young maidens' wishes.
