The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 177 The woman on Mount Li

The news of the reappearance of the divine bird has become known to the world, and various conjectures have also spread, which are true and false, making people unpredictable.

But for ordinary people, the first thing they pay attention to is their daily life.

On top of Mount Li, Li Xinni chose a palace on the outskirts as a place for the girl he took in to live.

At this time, in the courtyard where the palace is located, the divine bird is standing on a high platform, with more than twenty women, Li Xinni and others standing.

"There are also many wild fruits and other things on this mountain that can be eaten. You can also plant some sweet potatoes in the mountains."

Bai Zhi told them one by one that since they were brought to the mountain, they would naturally make arrangements.

"You can also weave cloth on the mountain and sell it down the mountain in exchange for money..."

All the women responded in unison, looking at Bai Zhi with eyes full of gratitude.

After Bai Zhi left, all the women looked at Li Xinni. Of course, the look in their eyes looking at Li Xinni was even more grateful.

They had already understood that it was the fairy-like sister in front of them who helped them and rescued them from a tragic fate in the future.

In addition to feeding them well and wearing warm clothes, they even teach them sword skills so that they can protect themselves.

But now, they have actually obtained the help of the Divine Bird, allowing them to live on Mount Li, next to the Divine Bird Temple, next to the Divine Bird!

What a kindness!
After settling down, they looked at Li Xinni again, their eyes full of gratitude and dependence.

Seeing this, Li Xinni smiled, with a bit of relaxation in her smile, and then said: "Now I am safe."

"We are all women. I rescued you and asked for nothing. I just hope that you can live a good life and be happy."

Hearing Li Xinni's words, the girls' eyes immediately filled with tears. Some women had tears streaming down their faces, sobbing softly.

"Okay, okay, don't do this!"

Seeing this, Li Xinni also forced a smile, and then said: "I just arrived here today, I still need to take care of it, pack my bags, and stay here for a long time..."

"Yes~"

The girls responded quickly, their voices were crisp and soft, quite like Ying Ying Yan Yan.

……

Li Xinni gently lifted the hem of her skirt with her bare hands, then slowly climbed up the steps, looking at the surrounding palaces in amazement, with a look of amazement on her face.

When she was in Longxi, she had imagined many times that she would come to Chang'an City, climb Lishan Mountain, and visit the Divine Bird Palace. At the same time, she also imagined various scenes, but she never thought of it in this way.

Bai Zhi landed in front of the steps of the side hall, and saw a large number of wine jars stacked in the corner next to the palace, and many of the jars were even buried by fallen leaves, which fell one year after another, stacked on top of each other.

Li Xinni looked at the building full of pre-Qin style, and then his eyes fell on the divine bird and the wine jar next to it.

He gently gathered his skirt and sat next to her.

Then he asked: "Does the divine bird also like to drink?"

Li Xinni's eyes fell on the wine jar and asked immediately.

"...Maybe you like it."

Bai Zhi said softly.

Then he looked at Li Xinni and said, "Now that we are in a safe place, what are your plans?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Li Xinni was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "Of course I will raise these girls and let them have their own lives, or find a suitable husband for them."

"So, what about yourself?"

Bai Zhi couldn't help but said: "This seems to be a kind of restriction. If you restrict yourself to one place, life will be no fun."

"What is fun? For me, being able to help more helpless women is a kind of fun!"

Bai Zhi looked at Li Xinni and saw the light shining in her eyes when she said this.

Perhaps this is the life she loves.

"It seems like someone once lived here?"

Li Xinni turned around and looked into the side hall of the Divine Bird Palace, and found that there were daily items in the palace.

However, most of the daily necessities seemed to have become obsolete, as if they were items from a hundred years ago.

"Someone once lived here, just like you are now."

Bai Zhi said, which gave Li Xinni confidence and made them feel at ease living here.

Li Xinni naturally understood the meaning of the words, and a smile appeared on her face.

…………

"Where have you been?"

In a courtyard in Chang'an City, the third sister looked at Li Xinni sitting at the table with a solemn face, her tone full of seriousness.

"Didn't go anywhere..."

Li Xinni defended, but she also felt a little lacking in confidence.

Seeing this, the third sister frowned even more and said: "Lie! Don't think I don't know that you are out of town!"

"How does sister know?"

"Hmph! I know a lot more!"

The third sister said this, and then changed her voice and said: "The recent rumors in the city are probably related to you, right? Where are the girls who have said so many things?"

"How did you deal with it?"

The third sister knew in her heart that they were an aristocratic family from the land of Longxi, and they could be regarded as a hairpin family, with poems and books passed down from generation to generation, so they would not engage in the shady business of buying and selling people.

Hearing this, Li Xinni paused, but she told the truth, "My sister thought they were pitiful, so she bought them and gave them a stable life..."

"And teach them survival skills..."

"That's okay..."

When the third sister heard this, her serious face softened a lot.

"Do you have enough money?"

"enough……"

……

The third sister was just a bit mean to Li Xinni, and her initial starting point was to worry about Li Xinni's safety.After learning what Li Xinni had done, he did not reprimand him. Instead, he first asked Li Xinni if ​​he had enough money.

This made Li Xinni feel very warm in her heart.

However, she didn't know how to speak about the specific situation, and she was even more hesitant about telling the truth.

But when she thought about the divine bird, she had no choice but to keep silent.

In the following period, Li Xinni would go to the Lishan Divine Bird Temple outside the city every day, and even stay there at night.

And the third sister has become even busier and no longer even lives in the city.

Every time Li Xinni saw her third sister, she would feel that her body was filled with a different aura, and her temperament seemed to have changed.

But Li Xinni didn't pay attention and was just busy with her own affairs.

On Mount Li, not far from the Divine Bird Palace, in the dense forest, a group of girls were holding hoes to weed the sweet potatoes that grew densely in the forest.

Wearing ordinary clothes, even rough linen clothes, they were doing tiring farm work, but they did not feel any pain, and even had smiles on their faces.

The life at this time was beyond their imagination.

They used to be just refugees, often running around and even going hungry all day just to fill their stomachs.

In addition, you must always be wary of strangers around you, for fear that one day you will never wake up again.

Or after waking up, you find that you are missing an arm or a leg.

But what about now?
Being able to eat well, have clean clothes to wear, and have a safe and warm house to live in... They feel very satisfied.

They raised their heads and looked at Qianying who was also working in front of them. It was the person in front who rescued them.

His eyes were filled with gratitude.

Li Xinni seemed to feel something. She stopped waving the hoe, straightened up and looked behind her, but she happened to meet the eyes of several girls. Suddenly, they looked at each other and smiled.

The setting sun in the morning shines through the dense leaves and falls on the ground. This is a rather steep hillside, but the hillside is a dirt hillside. At this time, the woods look very clean without any weeds.

Only the dense sweet potato vines climbed and stretched.

After a while, a group of girls walked down the mountain with hoes. Working hard, the farm work was completed quickly, and the rest of the time was naturally spent back to work.

Back in the palace, Li Xinni followed a group of girls and washed themselves with mountain spring water, then said to everyone: "After breakfast later, I will teach you how to read and write, and then we will weave cloth and wear clothes."

"Yes~"

A group of girls immediately responded and had no objections to Li Xinni's arrangement.

However, while the girls were having lunch, Li Xinni climbed up to the Divine Bird Hall above to see Bai Zhi.

"Magical Bird, I want to raise some chickens and ducks on the mountain. Is that possible?"

Seeing the former girl from an aristocratic family transformed into a mountain village girl, Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh, maybe this is the power of faith.

Let Li Xinni have no complaints or regrets no matter how tired she is.

"Can!"

Bai Zhi nodded, but also gave some opinions.

"The place where chickens and ducks are raised needs to be carefully selected, and a wooden fence should be used to enclose an area to prevent the chickens and ducks from running away..."

"nature!"

……

The news of the reappearance of the divine bird was known to everyone, and the world seemed to have pressed the pause button and became much more stable.

Moreover, there are many outsiders in Chang'an City. From time to time, they want to go under Lishan Mountain to investigate the situation above Lishan Mountain.

However, there were soldiers guarding them, and there seemed to be a strange force affecting them, preventing them from moving forward.

Ever since the palace attendant came to investigate the situation and learned that the divine bird had appeared, messengers from the palace had come many times to invite the divine bird. Even the emperor in the palace came once.

But without exception, no one can step forward.

It seems that the divine bird doesn't want to see anyone!
This disappointed the emperor who came to see the divine bird and had no choice but to return to the imperial city.

Seeing this, the heroes of the world couldn't help but have wild thoughts, and there were even more various rumors among the people.

Even when the emperor wanted to summon the soldiers guarding the Bird Palace on the mountain, no one responded.

As time goes by, a year slips away in the blink of an eye, and no one comes back under Lishan Mountain.

However, the people living at the foot of the mountain discovered that there were people who could enter and leave Lishan at will, and they were all women.

They might also go into the city in groups, bringing cloth to sell or buy items, but other than that, they would not go down the mountain again.

This made some people curious. Some people deliberately encountered the woman on the mountain and came up to chat, but no surprise, no answer was received.

As time went by, there were various conjectures.

Some people say that those women are all maids of the divine bird, and they serve the divine bird on weekdays;

Some people say that those women were saved by the divine bird. The divine bird was kind-hearted, so it allowed these women to live on the mountain.

Some people also say that those women are transformed by mountain spirits, who want to seduce people and eat their hearts and livers.

……

In short, there are all kinds of rumors.

Some even used force directly to imprison one or two women and interrogate them carefully.

But what shocked them was that these women actually carried wooden swords with them and had martial arts skills. Instead, they subdued the evil villains!
Seeing this, some people who were eager to give it a try instantly calmed down, and even began to be afraid of the woman on the mountain.

In 615 AD, Xia.

Li Xinni was sitting in the palace, and there were many girls sitting in the palace.

At first, she only brought a dozen girls, but now, there are more than 50 people.

At this time, they were sitting one by one in the palace, as if they were in a classroom, but in front of them, there was a sand table with traces of writing on it.

"Okay, today we will study "Poetry"..."

The woman's unique voice came out of the window, echoed in the mountains, and spread far away, even being heard by Bai Zhi in the Divine Bird Temple above.

……

At the foot of the mountain, several girls returned from the city. They only went out this time to buy some salt, so they did not bring any big packages.

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance, and even the sound of swords clanging and arrows piercing the air!
"What happened?"

Several girls were suddenly startled and couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

"Stop! Ahead is Lishan Mountain, but no one can go up to Lishan Mountain now. This time, let me see where you run!"

"I didn't expect the person behind it to be a woman!"

"Don't let her run away!"

"..."

There were shouts and even screams.

The voice came closer in an instant, and several women also saw who made the voice.

Two men holding swords were chasing one person. All three of them were riding horses and galloping. The person in front was obviously injured and at a disadvantage.

Presumably, it won't take long before he is caught by the two people behind him.

"what should we do?"

Several girls had already taken out the wooden swords they carried, and then looked at the three riding horses with vigilance.

At this time, the people escaping in front naturally saw several girls standing on the mountain road, and their faces suddenly showed joy, and they quickly shouted for help, "Help!"

"Help!"

"A woman's voice..."

"It's a woman!!"

The women didn't want to intervene at first, but when they heard that the person running away in front was a woman, their expressions suddenly changed, and without any hesitation, they walked up with swords in hand.

"Herod—"

"Appreciate~"

The two people behind them suddenly stopped in the distance, looking at the women in front of them in surprise.

"Are you okay!?"

Several women hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that the woman on the horse had red blood oozing out of her body and her face was pale. She was obviously seriously injured.

The woman fell off the horse, and several girls quickly helped her up.

The injured woman seemed relieved when she saw the girls, and then said: "I am Xin Ni's third sister. Quick, take me to see her!"

"Xin Ni?"

"Sister Xinni?!!"

When the girls heard this, they were immediately surprised. They did not expect that this woman actually recognized their eldest sister.

Seeing this, the girls no longer hesitated and quickly took him up the mountain. As for the two people at the bottom of the mountain, there was no need to worry, they would definitely not be able to go up the mountain.
