"Sister, I heard your name is Phoenix?"
In the family where Lin Xue was staying, there was an 8-year-old boy who sat opposite Lin Xue with a curious look on his face, occasionally glancing up at her secretly.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
When the little guy asked her that question, Lin Xue felt puzzled. Was there something wrong with her name?
"I've heard that the phoenix is the most powerful bird in the world. Since your name is Phoenix, can you fly and climb walls?"
The legend of Lin Xue has already spread throughout this small mountain village.
Especially the people who were saved by Lin Xue that night praised her to the skies, which made the villagers curious about who this great deity was.
Later, when Lin Xue washed off her makeup and revealed her true appearance as a young woman, the villagers became even more curious.
It's already amazing that a young man possesses such abilities, but now that the young man has become a young girl, it makes people even more curious.
Of course!
"What, you want to see it?"
Lin Xue stretched her arms. These days of lying in the sun every day were so comfortable. If it weren't for her mission, she would really like to continue living like this.
"Yes, I really want to!"
Dunzi immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Lin Xue excitedly.
It seemed as if she had already agreed to perform for him.
"Then you'd better watch carefully, I'll only perform once!"
Feeling a bit bored, Lin Xue didn't mind teasing the little guy.
"Oh, oh, oh, that's great!"
"Sister, I will keep my eyes wide open and won't miss a single move!"
What child at that age doesn't dream of becoming a martial arts master?
Especially when facing a powerful enemy who is constantly threatening them, they would be even more eager to have excellent skills to protect their families from harm.
Under Dunzi's expectant gaze, Lin Xue lightly touched the ground with her toes and jumped onto the roof. She then tapped the roof twice and disappeared from Dunzi's sight.
He quickly ran out of the yard and headed towards the back of his house.
But when he arrived at the back of the house, there was no sign of Sister Phoenix.
"Sister Phoenix?"
"Sister Phoenix, come out quickly!"
Dunzi's shouts startled his parents out of their homes.
Only after everyone asked did they learn what Lin Xue had just done.
"Phoenix must have gone somewhere else. Dunzi, you stay at the gate and remind Phoenix to take her medicine when she comes back!"
This medicine was prepared by Lin Xue herself. She specially went to the mountains to find Chinese medicinal herbs, and Dunzi's mother personally brewed it for her every day.
"Alas, in these years of war, even the prey has become so scarce!"
Lin Xue ran through two mountains in one go, catching three rabbits, five pheasants, and two large birds whose names she didn't know.
While we're at it, let's also check out the surrounding area in this direction.
After crossing two mountains, Lin Xue discovered that there were actually villages in the outside world.
It was a very ordinary village, with crops growing in the fields outside the village.
She observed the village from outside for a while and, finding nothing unusual, decided to leave.
Just as she turned to leave, she noticed something bright on the opposite mountain, which caught her eye.
"What is that?"
She turned her head in confusion, but saw nothing.
But Lin Xue believed her eyes; she was absolutely certain that she hadn't misjudged anything. There was definitely something glowing on the other side.
Since the things that can shine in this era don't always exist, it's self-evident what they are.
She slipped into the woods, circled around a bend, and ran towards the opposite hilltop.
When they reappeared, they had already reached the top of the mountain.
Standing on a boulder and peering down, I saw a group of people wearing steel helmets sneaking around in the woods, watching the village suspiciously.
Lin Xue wasn't in a hurry. She lay on the rock and carefully observed these people, noticing that their words and actions didn't seem like those of Chinese people.
It wasn't until she overheard their conversation that Lin Xue realized these guys were Japanese devils.
Why are the Japanese soldiers staring at this village? Is there some important person inside?
If their sole purpose was to seize supplies, they could have simply stormed in openly.
But now they've been hiding in the mountains observing, without taking any further steps.
Lin Xue couldn't guess their purpose, and for the time being, she didn't intend to alert them.
They rushed back to the village where the Ninth Brigade was located as quickly as possible.
"Dunzi, go and call the battalion commander over!"
Lin Xue rushed back to the house where she was staying, then untied the prey she was tied to and threw it in the yard.
"Okay, Sister Phoenix!"
Dunzi glanced at the prey on the ground, swallowed hard, and turned to run outside.
After running a couple of steps, he remembered his mother's instructions, so he stopped and turned to Lin Xue.
"My mother has already brewed the medicine, remember to drink it!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
After everyone left, Lin Xue quickly went to the kitchen, poured the warm medicine soup from the stove into a bowl, and drank it all in one go.
After taking the medicine, she quickly stole an orange-flavored fruit candy from her spatial storage and stuffed it into her mouth.
Oh my god, Chinese herbal medicine is so bitter!
"Comrade Fenghuang, I heard you were looking for me?"
Upon hearing Dunzi's words, the captain of the Ninth Brigade immediately followed the little guy to their home.
Upon entering, I saw Lin Xue frowning and looking miserable. After glancing at the medicine bowl on the stove, I knew that the girl was suffering from the bitterness of the Chinese medicine.
"Dunzi, take these candies and share them with your friends!"
Lin Xue pretended to rummage in her pocket and pulled out a handful of unlabeled fruit hard candies.
"Thank you, sister!"
Dunzi realized that Lin Xue had something to say to the brigade leader, so he didn't linger. After taking the candy, he happily ran out of the yard.
"Comrade Phoenix, do you know something?"
Seeing that Lin Xue had sent all the stools away, I knew she had something important to say.
"Today I crossed two mountains to the north and found a village there. I thought I'd come back since nothing seemed amiss. But as I was leaving, I noticed something strange about the opposite mountain!"
"So I went around in a big circle and got to the top of the mountain, only to find a bunch of Japanese devils hiding there, sneaking around, I don't know what they were up to?"
"I was thinking about whether to deal with these Japanese devils, but then I thought about how there were so many villagers down the mountain, and I was a stranger, so it would be inconvenient to explain things to them!"
"If we kill those Japanese devils but fail to persuade the villagers to leave, a large army might arrive soon!"
"So I came back to discuss this with you, to see what we should do. Should we let them continue to ambush us on the mountain, or should we take care of them and then let the villagers evacuate?"
Without any hesitation, Lin Xue recounted everything she had seen.
