Golden Whip

After learning the truth from Mr. Wijaya about how someone can use the golden whip's magical weapon.

General Lukman then said goodbye, but during his journey this time he was not like before when he left.

He definitely had a very clear goal, but now when he returned from Wijaya's hermitage he had to say that he still didn't fully understand it.

What is meant by Mr. Wijaya, rethinking that he must love nature for all living creatures and also respect and love the old and the young.

General Lukman seemed to have lost his way and without realizing it he was driving to a simple village which was not far from Wijaya's hermitage.

There, because it was still daytime, it was clear that the village was quite busy, this of course could not be separated from the village's proximity to the Wijaya hermitage.

Located quite close to each other, here many visitors from outside the area come to look for accommodation or just look for food in a simple restaurant built by local villagers.

It should be noted that this hermitage not only functions as a place to gain knowledge for those who want to learn from Mr. Wijaya.

However, the hermitage also functions as a place where many visitors come just to see or consult about the problems they have, especially.

Problems involving spiritual matters and also interference from supernatural beings.

So then when these visitors come to the hermitage, of course they won't have too many places for their accommodation.

So then this is the role of the village where the solution to the visitors' accommodation and food problems is solved by local residents.

Of course, this really helped the economy of the local residents, and from there a simple market was created which was quite busy in the village.

And now General Lukman saw the busy atmosphere in the market, for some reason he felt like he had a flash of inspiration.

When he saw the smiling faces of the villagers selling various kinds of food and crafts they made to visitors who would visit the hermitage.

Seeing the pots of coins obtained by local residents, it was clear that even though the denomination was very small in his eyes as a general, the genuine smiles of the local residents were successful in selling the crafts and food they were selling.

It was very sincere and this somehow made him realize one thing.

It turns out that getting happiness is actually not difficult and the meaning of wealth for each individual is certainly different.

If he underestimates the small coins that the villagers get then the opposite will happen where the villagers will feel very happy to get these small coins.

Because from there their efforts pay off and their families can be better supported.

Thinking about this, General Lukman realized that it seemed that being a general was not something to be proud of.

Reflecting further, he realized that his job was to maintain sincere smiles and a simple life like the one in front of him now.

For this reason, General Lukman, without realizing it, had a goal that was more devoted to the people embedded in his heart.

He got off his horse and then slowly followed the flow of many people who were busy in the market.

"Please sir, please choose.

"Come on, sir, our special dish is very delicious...

"Gentlemen please see this craft is very nice...

Of the many voices that greeted him, a small voice reached his ears.

"Sir please…can you give me some money" the shy voice of a little girl who looked like a beggar came into his ears.

Looking at General Lukman, he found that the girl was currently begging a man who looked quite rich.

However, the little girl got a rude response, "Get out of the way, don't dirty my clothes... Go away!!!" With a harsh voice he shouted and threw the little girl away.

Seeing this, the General of course felt displeased and came over.

"Can't you behave better? It's not your right to talk like that. If you don't want to give him, refuse him nicely and don't insult him," General Lukman's strong voice was heard.

And when the man turned around, he was surprised to find that there was the figure of a nobleman standing behind him and lecturing him.

Looking at the heroic posture and also the clothes worn by the person in front of him, the man knew that this was a genuine nobleman and his position must be high to avoid trouble. He said embarrassedly and apologized.

"Sorry, I'm sorry sir..." said the man to General Lukman.

"It's not to me that your apology is addressed but to this little girl!!" Said while pointing at the little beggar girl.

"Ahhh... OK sir... Little girl, sorry, sorry... here's a little for you," immediately took out several silver coins to the little beggar.

On the other hand, the little girl who was a beggar was shocked by what was happening in front of her. At first she was discouraged and felt very sad because she would be rejected by the rich man again.

But then an unexpected incident occurred where someone defended himself and actually asked the rich man to apologize to him.

Not to mention, when he was still unconscious, they gave him several silver coins which really surprised him.

Just say thank you for being rich enough to leave them.

On the other hand, a soft voice came to her ears again, "little girl, where are your parents?" The General asked the little beggar.

Hearing that soft voice, the little girl answered with shame and sadness, "My father is no longer there, he died of illness, and currently there is only mother at home but 1 week ago mother was also sick, and Nini didn't have money for treatment so Nini begging here for mother's medicine," answered the little girl.

Hearing the girl's answer, General Lukman suddenly felt very sorry at such a small age, he had a strong sense of responsibility.

Remembering that his child was spoiled at home, for some reason the general felt that he seemed to have failed as a father in educating his child so that he lived a spoiled life.

"Okay, let uncle help you with treatment, let's show you the way to your house," the general then decided to help Nini.

"ahhh...is it true uncle??" Nini asked, surprised and also happy.

"You can be sure, come on... quickly take your uncle to your house and we'll take your mother to a healer," answered the general again.

"Very good….come on…come on…uncle quickly…this way…." Nini said, inviting the general to his house.

Passing through a busy market, the general was then taken to the back area of the village, until they left the village.

Seeing this, the General was very surprised because it turned out that Nini's house was not in the village but a little out of the village.

Not long after, we saw a simple house made of wood and bamboo, opening a simple bamboo fence that surrounded the house.

Nini then called her mother who was in the house, "Mom ... .mother ... .Nini is home ... .Nini brings a good uncle!" Nini shouted into the house.

In a room in the house, a woman in her mid-30s looked pale and weak, lying on a bed.

It's just that when he heard his son's voice he immediately tried to get out of bed, especially when he found out that Nini was carrying someone he didn't know, he became worried.

So immediately with the help of a stick he walked slowly towards the door.

Not long after, there was the sound of the door opening, and from there General Lukman saw a woman who looked very weak.

"Mother….." Nini hugged her mother happily.

"Nini…who are you bringing?" The mother asked in a slightly firm tone.

And Nini, who heard her mother's voice, felt guilty because she seemed to realize that she had done something.

"Mom...mom...don't worry, Uncle is a good person," Nini answered back.

"Sir, I'm sorry for my son's rudeness. If that's the case, may I know who you are, sir?" Nini's mother asked the general.

The mother knew that Nini was still too young and was afraid of being lied to, so she had to ask directly to the man she brought with her.

In front of her at this moment was a dashing man with a strong posture, he looked honorable and Nini's mother vaguely realized that his identity was something noble.

So his worry lessened a little, but even so he remained alert.

"Sorry if I'm being rude, it's just that I couldn't bear to see Nini begging at the market, and after asking her I found out she was doing this to help you get treatment.

Seeing how responsible Nini was I felt Nini was a very good child, so I decided to help if I could.

So then I came here with Nini, as for my identity, I am Lukman, one of the officers from the Mahesa kingdom who this time is visiting Mr. Wijaya's hermitage to complete a mission.

And during my mission, I came. "I went to this village and met Nini by chance at the market," General Lukman explained at length his purpose and purpose for coming, and didn't forget what identity he had.

And Nini's mother, who heard this, was quite surprised because she would never have thought that Nini would meet an officer from the Mahesa kingdom.

Not to mention, from the character and words displayed by Mrs. Nini, she could tell that the officer in front of her was a good person, because he was involved very sincerely.

So then he invited the general in disguise to enter the house.
