“Please at least help me find my wife and tell her I love her. She would understand when she sees this
necklace.”
“But-“
“It was good meeting you, miss.” Shizi bowed and disappeared behind the curtain again.
The necklace had an engraving of a dragon with eyes made out of rubies on it. Shrugging to myself, I
pocketed it safely in my back pocket.
Suddenly, my vision went blurry and I dropped to the ground of the carriage, feeling a burning pain in
my head.
I woke up with sweat on my forehead. I didn’t recognize where we were. I heard shuffling beside me and
when I turned my head, I realized it was Oliver.
“Oliver?” he groaned and I helped him sit up from the floor.
“Where are we?” I shook my head, signaling being just as clueless as he was.
He slumped down on the floor, just as Jeff and Lizzy also coughed and sat up slowly, rubbing their eyes
and scratching their heads.
“My back hurts.”Was the first thing that Jeff said before slumping down on the ground.
“Did that really just happen?”
I made a move to stand up, but felt something in my back pocket. I fiddled in my back pocket and pulled
out a necklace, the necklace Shizi gave me.
In the end, we ran back to the hotel as if nothing had happened.Waking up the next day was weird. I
decided to search the words engraved on the back of the locket on the internet.
Apparently, the Shi family was a rich family.Their descendant, Shizi, was kicked out from the family after
he proposed to a poor girl.
They got married secretly and had a daughter. It was all perfect until Qinshihuang started recruiting
people to build the Terracotta Army for him. Shizi was separated from his wife and daughter and was
never seen since.
Shizi used to wear a necklace to have his wife and daughter with him at
all
times.
