After their moment of shock they greeted the child on their knee.
Good morning master.
Rise, elders I have said so many time there's no need for such formalities... says Yusheng helplessly but the warmth and love clear in her voice.
How can that be...even though young you are the current valley master and we are your servants...said first elder with seriousness.
While second and third elders were nodding there head as if chicken pecking rice.
Knowing it was impossible to change their sentiments Yusheng smiled and sat at the head chair of master to start the breakfast followed by the elders. After the breakfast was served Yusheng waved her sleeve instructing all the servants to go out which was a new to everyone.
Now just with elders and zhu mama the room seemed to have fallen to silence.
First elder sensed there was something that Yusheng wanted to say hence he broke the silence.
"Master is there something that is troubling you? "
Zhu mama please take a seat and yes there is something I have to share with you all today.
Zhu mama was hesitant but most of all she was worried because miss seemed so different today.
After she took her seat in table. Everyone waited for Yusheng to start with the conversation.
With a serious look Yusheng ask's, elders zhu mama do you trust me?
Her question startled everyone because this kind of question wasn't supposed to be asked by a child of mere 3 years. But whatever reason everyone nodded and answered yes.
Then again she asked, will you trust me the same onwards?
Of course, you are the master and all of us have pledged to serve you till death...replied first elder.
Then I have decided to make some changes for our valley. It is not on whim or for curiosity but I had a premonition yesterday...that if the changes are not made then the end of medicine valley will not be far.
Everyone was shocked and stumped , they dare not to think...it was a child's prank or gibberish thoughts erupted from a dream because the eyes of this child held knowledge that seemed far wise, as if she had the ability to look into the future..
Zhu mama remembered indeed yesterday night when the miss had awoken she was drenched in sweat, she dare not think it was just some normal nightmare because the child's face and eyes held wisdom and gravity of situation that only mature people have.
After giving them time to collect her thoughts, she starts to explain ..." I cannot disclose the exact happenings of my premonition, as not to startle you and make you anxious but I promise you that starting from today every decision I make will be for the better and secure future for this valley."
I will make sure to uphold and protect the glory of our ancestors. I will make our valley strong so strong that no one will dare to think to take advantage of us or bully us. I know right now people of even other countries look at us like a piece of fat meat to be eaten but I promise you all today I LIU YUSHENG will change our predicament make this valley strong so we don't have to be the cautious one but rather supreme power who others need to be cautious of us, fear us and respect us.
