Zhao
Going up is more difficult than going down. You have to pay attention to the condition of the deer on your back at all times. When the wind is a little stronger, Li Pingan has to stop and hold the deer behind him with one hand.
Looking up, the doe was anxiously sticking its head out and humming twice in a low voice, probably to comfort the doe on Li Ping'an.
Fortunately, Li Ping'an had previous experience in climbing cliffs, so he was more cautious when he went up this time and did not miss a step.
But even so, Li Ping'an was still exhausted physically and mentally after climbing up. Thinking of the fawn on his back, Li Ping'an had to lie down on the ground to calm his rapid heartbeat.
The mother deer was nudging the clothes on Li Ping'an's back with her mouth, and the fawn also made a short "bleat" sound. Li Ping'an half sat up and released the fawn on his back.
As soon as the fawn came out, it ran to the mother deer for milk, but it was limping. Li Ping'an stared at the wound on the fawn's leg in a daze, not knowing whether wild deer could heal themselves.
The mother deer obviously also saw the wound on the fawn's leg. After licking it with her tongue, she picked up the grass that had been in her mouth, chewed it in her mouth, and then applied it to the fawn's leg.
Looking at the heartwarming scene in front of him, Li Ping'an felt that his merits had deepened.
After applying medicine to the fawn, the mother deer waited for a while until the fawn had drunk enough milk, then she signaled Li Pingan to follow her, apparently to take her away.
Li Ping'an held the injured fawn in his arms, sat on the mother deer's back, and galloped away.
In a pavilion on the top of the mountain, two people saw all this from a distance, "Is this the man of destiny?" asked a middle-aged man in a purple robe and a hair crown.
The handsome man in white looked at Li Ping'an's receding back without saying a word.
The man in purple knew his personality. He would not tell others anything unless it was certain, so he wanted to pat his shoulder, but just as his hand was about to fall, he felt a sharp pain.
The man in purple quickly put his hand down and apologized, "I overstepped my bounds." It's not his fault. Anyone who sees such a youthful appearance will ignore his age.
After Li Pingan got off the doe's back, he patted her head. Two fawns were playing nearby. "Okay, I'm here. You guys better be careful next time."
The mother deer licked Li Ping'an's palm, and the two fawns circled around her feet.
Li Pingan noticed some movement in the courtyard and was still wondering who it was.
"Who's there?" It was Zhao Jingyan's voice, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Li Ping'an wanted them to see the fawn, but when he turned around, the mother deer had already left with the fawn, leaving only the swaying grass.
"An'an, what are you doing here?" Zhao Jingyan had obviously fallen asleep, with his coat draped over him and his eyes half asleep.
"It's okay, I just came out for a walk." Since the doe couldn't let others know about them, Li Ping'an didn't tell them what happened tonight.
"Then you just take a walk in the yard. It's too dangerous to go out." Zhao Jingyan is still a little afraid of the grove, fearing that some strange things will appear again.
Li Pingan opened the back door and walked in, putting his arm around Zhao Jingyan's shoulders. "I understand. Go back to sleep."
"An'an, why are you so dirty?" Zhao Jingyan saw traces of gravel, dust and weeds on her clothes.
"I just fell down accidentally, it's okay."
…
Li Ping'an was originally unable to sleep, but after all this tossing and turning, she fell asleep before she had time to think about anything.
Li Pingan was awakened the next day by the crowing of a rooster. The passionate "crow" made her sit up immediately. She rubbed her head and thought, "That's not right. Why is there a rooster crowing?"
"Wow, where did the chicken come from?!" Zhao Jingyan shouted outside the door.
It really was a chicken. Li Ping'an turned over, got out of bed and walked out.
As soon as I went out, I saw two chicken-like creatures, a male and a female, strolling in the yard. The one with a comb would raise its neck and make a few "crow" sounds from time to time. Zhao Jingyan and Zhao Ziyu were secretly observing them from the side.
Seeing Li Ping'an coming, Zhao Jingyan hurriedly ran over and asked, "Can we eat chicken today?" Her eyes lit up when she said this.
Li Pingan pointed to the two "chickens" in the yard and asked, "Do all your chickens look like this?"
In appearance, they are similar to ordinary chickens, but in terms of size, these two "chickens" are five times the size of ordinary chickens and can reach a person's waist. In terms of color, they are brightly colored, with red, blue and orange colors, shining in the sun. The male one has a comb.
Zhao Jingyan looked at the two chickens in the yard and thought for a while, "They are bigger than ordinary chickens."
"Maybe this is the big chicken,"
Hearing Zhao Jingyan's words, Li Ping'an stared at her with wide eyes, then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not add that word.
"But no matter how big it is, it's still a chicken." After Zhao Jingyan said this, he rushed out with the determination to eat chicken today.
Then, Li Ping'an saw her being chased around the yard by chickens.
Li Pingan looked at Zhao Ziyu who was hiding behind the tree and asked, "Aren't you going to save your sister?"
Zhao Ziyu shook her head. It was not that she did not want to save the chicken on purpose, but she had a psychological trauma. When she was a child, she was chased and pecked by a chicken. It was a pain that could never be erased from her heart. Now the chicken had grown so big, she was scared.
Li Ping'an couldn't believe that the cold-faced child in front of him was actually chased by a chicken when he was a child. He laughed so hard that his teeth couldn't close.
Li Ping'an was in a very good mood, so he took out a rope from the space and went to help Zhao Jingyan.
After being pecked four times, slapped five times, and kicked six times, the two chickens were finally tied up and thrown to the ground, and Li Ping'an and Zhao Jingyan's heads were covered with chicken feathers.
Zhao Jingyan sharpened her knife and aimed at the rooster. She remembered that this rooster was the most ferocious just now. At the moment when she raised her hand and swung the knife, the door of the courtyard was pushed open.
Li Ping'an stopped the knife to avoid splashing blood on the person.
The person who came was the leading man. He raised his eyebrows at the mess on the ground, then stopped in front of the stone table in the yard and said, "This is your reward this time. Check for yourself to see if there is anything missing." With a wave of his hand, three small boxes appeared on the table.
Hearing this, the three of them rushed to the stone table with their eyes shining. Li Ping'an opened the small box and her eyes were immediately dazzled. She had never seen so much gold before.
Feeling the gold slipping through his fingers, Li Pingan felt that there was no greater happiness in life than this.
The man stood there for a while and said, "You can stay in this yard for three more days." Then he prepared to leave.
Li Ping'an quickly put the box away, followed the man out the door, and stopped under a big tree.
"What's wrong?" The man raised his lips slightly, but turned his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Ping'an did not answer, but took two steps closer and raised his hand, with a cold light flashing.
The man looked at the dagger at his neck and asked, "What is this for?"
The smile on Li Ping'an's face completely disappeared, and he pressed the dagger closer to the man's neck, "Where are Annie and the others?"
"Weren't they captured by the Black Dog?"
"You are still pretending with me. Tell me, where are they? Jiuqi." Li Pingan felt that the play was enough here. Any more would be over.
Hearing the name called out by Li Pingan, the man laughed, "I thought you would find out earlier."
Jiu Qi took the dagger from his neck and said, "You know this can't kill me."
"Why don't you sit down and let's have a good talk." Jiu Qi said as he was about to walk into the yard.
Li Pingan stopped him and said, "If you want to talk, just do it outside." Zhao Jingyan and her sister were still inside.
Jiu Qi looked back at Li Pingan and said, "This matter is also related to them."
When Li Ping'an came in, Zhao Jingyan was raising his hand, looking like he was about to kill a chicken. When he saw the man and Li Ping'an coming in, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, "Where have you been?"
"Would you like to have roast chicken together for lunch today?"
The man ignored her, and Li Ping'an quickly waved his hand and asked her to come over and sit down.
Four people sat around a small round table, and the atmosphere was solemn. "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the mission?" Zhao Jingyan asked.
The man looked at her, then at Zhao Ziyu, and with a wave of his hand, a scene appeared. On the endless sea stood an extremely finely decorated building, and the people coming and going were all dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Jingyan and Zhao Ziyu both widened their eyes. Zhao Ziyu even wanted to slam the table and ask who he was, but found that she could not move. She could only watch the fire burn. The struggle and pain of the person in the fire matched their memories.
"The Zhao family of the East Sea, though born of water, is extremely adept at fire. The people of the family are all gifted and are praised by the world as the model of the harmony of yin and yang."
"Two years ago, a devastating fire suddenly struck. People accused the Zhao family of violating the laws of heaven, and as a result, the entire clan was burned to death by the heavenly fire, with no one spared."
When Li Pingan first saw it, he actually knew what it was. Seeing Zhao Jingyan and her sister being forced by men until their eyes turned red, he felt very sorry and asked, "Why are you saying this?"
Jiu Qi asked the two sisters, "Are they right?"
Zhao Ziyu realized that he could move, and immediately rushed forward to hit Jiuqi, but was stopped by Zhao Jingyan. Zhao Jingyan looked at Jiuqi with a complicated expression, "Who are you?"
Jiu Qi didn't answer, but looked into her eyes and asked again, "Are they right?"
Zhao Jingyan blinked and tears fell, "Wrong, all wrong."
"That's not the case."
"It was the beginning of spring, and fishermen were out fishing as usual. Ten fishing boats went out, but when they returned, only a plank of wood remained. Lying on it lay a seriously injured young man. I was playful at the time, so I secretly went to see. The man was covered in blood. The elders tried to heal him, but after cleaning him, they discovered his skin had been completely stripped off and his throat pierced. They could only force themselves to draw a symbol on the ground: a three-legged fish, the symbol of a sea monster."
"Then the man pointed in a direction and disappeared."
"This kind of thing happened occasionally in the past, and my great-grandfather assigned one of my uncles, two cousins, and one cousin to handle it,"
"All their thousand-year knots were broken, and no one could come back alive."
At that time, the Zhao family was decorated with white banners.
趙子瑜聽的雙眼泛紅，趙景言口中的叔叔就是她爹，只是她當時還小，誰都沒和她說到底發生了什麽事情，她只記得母親哭昏過去幾次，再後來，就是一場大火，燒毀了一切。
