Chapter 38: Immortals
Even if everyone knew in their hearts that parting was just around the corner, no one said it - only the temperature on Lin Yiyi's body became higher and higher until she was delirious.
On this day, Lin Yiyi was hugged by Lin Ao into the ice water again at night, and her whole body was so hot that she couldn't touch it directly.
Lin Ao placed Lin Yiyi's wrist on the edge of the bath, and stiffly watched the ghost flower on his daughter's wrist slowly bloom.
In just a moment, the fragrance of ghost flowers began to permeate.
When the fragrance enveloped the entire bathroom, Lin Yiyi's figure began to gradually dissipate, until it merged with the ghost flower totem.
As if it was just a blink of an eye, only Lin Ao was left in the bathroom.
"Gone?" Yimi stumbled open the bathroom, trembling and asking.
Lin Ao nodded, picked up Yimi and walked towards the bedroom, she still had a little cub in her belly, she should rest more.
……
There is no human population in the lush forest, and standing on the highest branch and looking out at the terraced rice fields on the slope of the hill in the distance is not a primeval forest.
Lin Yiyi secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, fortunately, at least she can live more comfortably.
It's just that...... She's a little embarrassed now, maybe she should find some soft big leaves to wrap herself up and run naked or something, the shame is too high.
The perennial field training has made Lin Yiyi like a fish in water in this forest. The forest was too big, and Lin Yiyi walked for ten days before walking out of the forest and coming to the plain.
It was still early, Lin Yiyi sharpened two wooden sticks with sharp stones, and skillfully pierced the eyes of two wild boars, one large and one small, which were her starting funds in this era.
It's just that people have a thousand worries and must make mistakes, and her father taught her how to survive in the wild, and forgot to tell her how to deal with these wild meats. As a result, she ate only half of the whole wild boar, and the other half was wasted. Before parting, the third aunt repeatedly told her: Money is not everything, but no money is everything. So the rest of the big wild boar, she is ready to sell it for money.
At this time, Lin Yiyi was wrapped in emerald green leaves, and she was carrying a bloody wild boar on her shoulder.
Lin Yiyi's current appearance is very terrifying to the villagers with simple rural customs.
But for those bear children who don't know the height of the sky, Lin Yiyi is a magical being.
The bear children followed Lin Yiyi from a distance, and Lin Yiyi was impatient when she heard that Suosuo's voice disturbed her.
"Come here!"
Lin Yiyi threw the wild boar to the ground, sat on the big rock, and spoke to the child behind him, his tone was full of orders.
"Who are you? How did you get out of the woods? My grandfather said that the forest was very dangerous, and the adults didn't go in. Did your wild boar shoot yourself? Why don't you have clothes? Why don't you wear shoes? Why is your hair so short? ……”
"Shut up!"
Lin Yiyi scolded herself secretly, she wanted to ask this group of bear children about the news in the town, and her brain was almost pumped.
Lin Yiyi walked forward quickly, and the bears behind her trotted behind.
Perhaps it was determined that Lin Yiyi, a strange person, was also a talker, and the bear children's courage also grew. From time to time, he ran up and touched the wild boar behind Lin Yiyi.
touched it, ran back, saw that Lin Yiyi didn't react, and then rotated the next child to touch.
Boring things can also make this group of children laugh and laugh.
Lin Yiyi's physical value is trained all year round, even if she runs in the forest for a day with weight, there is no problem, once she also challenged the limits of her body, and after running for three days and three nights in a row, she slept for a day and a night and came back to life on the spot.
There is only one road leading from the mountain village to the city, and in order to facilitate the transportation of grain, the village chief takes the villagers to repair it from time to time, and this dirt road is very flat. Lin Yiyi carried a big wild boar on her back and walked for two hours without a drop of sweat on her face. These bears and children were tired and died with a dog, and they insisted on following Lin Yiyi, and they didn't know what to do.
The blood of the wild boar also dried up in these two hours, and Lin Yiyi's back was full of blood, and the wolf was unbearable.
The child rested panting for a while, seeing that Lin Yiyi's figure was almost out of sight, wiping his sweat, gritting his teeth, and hurriedly catching up.
"You ......" The child panted loudly, stretched out his arms in front of Lin Yiyi, and continued: "If you go to the city like this, you will be caught by the soldiers and put in prison, and you will not be able to get out for the rest of your life." ”
Lin Yiyi looked down at the blood stains on her feet, her heart was empty, and she continued to look at the bear child silently and waited for him to finish speaking.
"Are you going to go to the city with the wild boar and sell it?" The child followed all the way, and there were a lot of comments from his friends, and he felt that this was the most likely, and he heard from his grandfather that those good villages would sell their own pigs to the city before the year. It's just that their village is poor, and their families can't afford to raise pigs, and no one has ever gone to the city to sell pigs, so it takes a day's walk from their village to the city, and the adults only press the grain of a village to the town to pay taxes after collecting grain.
Lin Yiyi took advantage of the situation to find a stone pier, threw the wild boar on the grass, and dragged a handful of grass to wipe the blood on his feet and legs. To the child's head, only a "hmm".
"There is a war going on in Beicheng, and now you need identification to enter the city."
Lin Yiyi paused and looked up at the child's head.
"Copper plates are also needed." The child's head continues to throw the baggage.
Lin Yiyi pursed her lips, thinking that if she needed a copper plate, she would climb the city wall at night. With her ability, none of this should be a problem. It's just that I don't know if it's good or not.
"What then?" Lin Yiyi pursues the wisdom of the third aunt, and when she encounters such an inaccurate thing, she doesn't need to hide it.
The child is a smart child, and from the time he stood in front of Lin Yiyi, he had already thought of persuasion and solutions.
"You can settle in our village." The child's head said, because his heart was weak, and his voice was very small.
"You're lying." As soon as Lin Yiyi saw the expression of the little child, she knew that there were a lot of cats in it, so she pretended to be angry and scolded loudly.
Lin Yiyi was left behind by the wild boar and strode forward. The child bows his head and gets out of the way.
The mood of the child's head fell, and the rest of the children also quieted down.
Lin Yiyi was quite satisfied with this effect, and was forced to listen to these chattering children along the way, and she had long wanted to make her ears quiet.
Approaching the center of the city, people from all over the world gathered on this road leading to the city gate, and the panic on the faces of passers-by was so obvious that Lin Yiyi couldn't ignore it. The children who followed behind seemed to know the reason, and surrounded Lin Yiyi, invisibly forming a protective circle.
Lin Yiyi looked at the children who were like a great enemy, and felt funny and a little moved. I don't know if the children are protecting her or the boar.
"Let's go." Lin Yiyi turned around, and looked at the soldiers guarding the town here, and knew that the people in the city were all in the same panic, and this wild boar was estimated to be unsold.
Lin Yiyi's thoughts in his heart, the child head didn't know, but it didn't delay his excitement when he heard this sentence, the child beckoned the three fastest runners to go back to inform the village chief grandfather first, and beckoned the two eldest children to lead the way, and the rest of the children accompanied Lin Yiyi on the left and right sides. The child, who was still tired and couldn't walk just now, instantly moved happily, and his whole body was full of exhausted spiritual energy.
"Tell me about the war here." Lin Yiyi asked nonchalantly.
"It used to be quiet here, but it's been chaotic recently. I heard my grandfather say that the ten-year recuperation time for our Daman to negotiate with Beimeng is up, and Beimeng has just changed to a violent emperor and wants to expand his territory. "The child is eleven years old, and he already understands his grandfather's daily fears. Three days ago, the married people in the village came back crying, saying that their village had been seized by Beimeng, and the villagers were killed and wounded, and those who were lucky enough to escape ran to the city.
Lin Yiyi walked for a day and observed for a day, and when she heard the child's words, she knew that the border between the two countries was going to suffer.
"Did you send troops?"
"Out, but defeated. The cavalry of the Northern Mongols is very strong, and their horses are faster and stronger than ours. ”
The child's head was lowered.
Lin Yiyi looked indifferent.
"If you can hit such a big wild boar, your martial arts must be very high." The child's head changes the subject.
"There is no martial arts." It's just survival skills.
The child's head also noticed that Lin Yiyi didn't like to speak, and closed his mouth. Whether the person was good or bad, he wanted to keep the person in the village. The outlying villages had already been preempted, and soon it would be their turn. Those soldiers had retreated to Qin'an City, which was already an empty shell, and they were the ones who had been abandoned. The more capable people there are, the more hope.
Lin Yiyi settled in this mountain village, which has a deep forest worship, and has always believed that the forest has blessed their ancestors for generations. It is also this natural worship that makes them never go into the forest to hunt no matter how poor they are, and only look for wild vegetables on the periphery of the forest when they are not green. Lin Yiyi, who came out of the forest, was afraid, but what was hidden under this fear was awe. Lin Yiyi's words and deeds are very different from them, which adds to this awe. And Lin Yiyi's kindness to them made them firm that Lin Yiyi was the god who came to rescue them in troubled times.
Lin Yiyi wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain, if she was honest, I am afraid that the place where she lived before was the fairy world.
In this regard, Lin Yiyi could only keep a stern face and continue to be heartbroken.
"Brother Fairy, the dumplings that grandma asked me to send, you eat them quickly, there is meat in them, and they won't taste good if they're cold." A little girl of four or five years old shouted across the fence to the yard.
Lin Yiyi was stunned by this title again. Considered male, she understands, after all, she looks too masculine, call her brother, okay! Immortals, that's okay, ancient religious beliefs, she won't take it seriously.
But!
Fairy Brother...... This title made her tremble a little.
Lin Yiyi's brows jumped, looking at the innocent and ignorant little girl, and the idea of correcting the title was extinguished again.
"This is for your grandma." Lin Yiyi took the dumplings, took out a big chicken leg from the pot and put it in, and took out a small chicken leg and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
"Grandma won't let you take food." The little girl looked at the chicken legs, swallowed her saliva, and said insincere words.
"It's not taking, it's what I'm giving." Lin Yiyi carried the little girl outside with one hand, patted her buttocks, and urged: "Hurry up and go home for dinner." ”
When she saw the little girl go home, Lin Yiyi began to eat dumplings with a helpless face. When she first came, she gave the pork to the villagers, and returned it, just looking at the real meat dumplings, she knew that the little girl's family was not willing to touch the pork, and after all the pork was marinated, she chopped it into dumplings and sent it back. The villagers delivered food one by one, and until now, she has not cooked properly.
Well, she won't do anything more than put the meat in water to stew.
After dinner, Lin Yiyi came to the outskirts of the village and watched the villagers quietly dig traps. These traps were mentioned by her to the village chief intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't expect the village chief to become serious, and the villagers didn't ask the reason, and the village chief let the village chief do it without saying a word.
The simplicity and desire for survival of the people here have repeatedly shaken Lin Yiyi's heart. For them, it is the greatest happiness for the family to be able to live.
"It's good to be alive." Lin Yiyi touched the ghost flower on her wrist and muttered to herself. She is a little homesick, I don't know if my beautiful mother is still crying secretly at night, I don't know if my father is still insomnia, and I don't know if my third aunt has an appetite again......
Anyway, she's fine now.
Lin Yiyi calculated the weather for the next seven days, and came to the same conclusion as the old people in the village said, this light rain would only last for three days, and three days later there would be continuous sunny days.
"In five days, they will come." Lin Yiyi said to the village chief expressionlessly.
The village chief was stunned for a moment, his hands trembled at the meeting, and asked, "Beimeng people? ”
Lin Yiyi nodded. This mountain village is surrounded by mountains on two sides and the forest on one side. Beimeng lives in the vast plains, and is not familiar with the forests and mountains, so he will not attack from these three sides. Then there is the fact that they have attacked and captured many places in a row, and their arrogance is exuberant, and they will only seize the village from the front. And the land on the front is loose, the Northern Mongolian people on horseback will not come on a rainy day, the sun is not strong this spring, and the road will be dried in two days, and the Northern Mongolian people look down on these abandoned mountain villages, and will only use the least number of soldiers to capture them in the least time.
Lin Yiyi squatted on the side of the road, holding a branch and sketching on the ground.
After a while, Lin Yiyi sighed heavily.
To tell the truth, it was the right choice for Daman to give up this impoverished Nanshan town, Tai'an town and Nanshan town are separated by a turbulent river, and it is even more difficult for Beimeng, who is not familiar with water, to cross the river. The soldiers retreated to the rich town of Tai'an, with sufficient grain and grass, convenient transportation, and the emperor's brother guarded the city.
Beimeng is fighting and making trouble until now, and it is estimated that it only wants to occupy Tai'an Town. After all, the emperor of Daman is still a saint, and Daman has only been established for 30 years, and the bureaucratic style has not yet reached the point of no cure.
In a word, it was only a matter of time before this mountain village was captured.
Ay......
What's going on?
It's so sad. ()
