He Lin: "Does Gu Qian also visit your master often?"
"Not often, Father is too busy. But every time Father comes back, he helps Master feed the livestock, and he often takes me to see the Goddess Nuwa."
"The Goddess Nuwa?" He Lin looked up. "There's a temple on this mountain?"
“No,” Gu Xiaoran shook her head. “That place looks like a cemetery. It should be where the goddess Nuwa rests.”
Gu Xiaoran is already five years old. At five years old, a child already understands some things.
Once, a housewife asked out of curiosity, and the master told her that it was all in his imagination.
From then on, the master forbade him from mentioning the goddess Nuwa in front of his wife.
Suddenly, He Lin's body stiffened, and he was once again overcome with boundless grief.
"I also want to see the Goddess Nuwa. Can you take me to see her?"
"Well... my master and father will be unhappy. They won't allow me to go up the mountain alone."
He Lin: Isn't he a human being?
"I'll go with you."
...
The next morning, inside the inn, Qiu Yan stood by the window, gazing at the desolate pedestrians outside, pondering how to reach the Northern Qi territory in the simplest way.
"Xiaoyan, it's time for breakfast." Ling Qi knocked on the door.
Qiu Yan opened the door, and she and Ling Qi went downstairs one after the other.
At the dinner table, Qiu Yan asked:
Have you thought of a solution?
"Xiaoyan, let's go hiking before dawn and see the beautiful scenery of Dongjin."
Qiu Yan shook her head: "It's too time-consuming."
"What should we do then? Don't worry, your cousin will take you on a leaping adventure. We should arrive in Northern Qi in two or three days."
Let me tell you, my cousin's lightness skill, while not as good as a general's, is still quite good. It's more than enough to carry you.
However, you mustn't tell the general, or he'll be jealous.
Qiu Yan glanced at Ling Qi.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but let's head straight there!"
"Go straight there? Just the two of us? Xiaoyan, where did you get that confidence?"
"Confidence, of course, comes from within."
Ling Qi's eyes flickered slightly. "Then let's try our luck. Maybe all their people have been sent to the front lines."
"Ling Qi, do you think it's possible?"
"Of course... that's impossible. Don't worry, with your cousin here, you definitely won't suffer any losses."
"You said it yourself. What will you do if I get hurt in the slightest?"
"I will personally go to the general and plead guilty with a bundle of thorns on my back!"
"Well, it's fortunate that we survived." Their journey was fraught with danger, and injuries were inevitable.
"Look down on me?" Ling Qi was about to say something more when he saw Qiu Yan had already gone to get the horse.
They set off again, bypassing a small town on the outskirts of the city, and arrived at the border between the two countries at dawn.
Ahead, there are only two roads that are passable; the rest of the area is steep mountains, making it impossible for ordinary people to walk.
There are two roads, one going north and the other going west.
In the middle of the road, a stone wall appeared.
The words "Northern Qi" are written on the stone wall.
“Originally, this stone wall was located on the west side. Later, when the Northern Qi conquered the Western Qin, they moved the stone wall to the middle position,” Ling Qi explained.
Qiu Yan: "Our Dongjin is quite close to Xiqin."
No wonder she was able to run into Song Jiao in Baiyang.
"Why is no one guarding it?" Ling Qi thought to himself with delight. "Let's go, let's go straight over there."
"Walk!"
The two rode fine horses, and became extremely cautious in their every word and action.
They rode their horses slowly westward, past the stone wall.
"Now, this is the territory of Western Qin. Xiaoyan, listening to you is the right thing to do."
"Wait!" Suddenly, Qiu Yan pulled on the reins.
