In the four directions of east, south, west and north of the mountain village, several towering trees were quietly erected at some unknown time.
These big trees are much taller than the other trees around them, and they stand out from the crowd.
And on the crown of each big tree, there is an exquisite little tree house.
There was a man sitting in each tree house, holding a bamboo tube-like object in their hands and looking around the village.
This thing is really useful, it is just like the legendary "clairvoyance", it can see very far away...
Not long after, a piece of paper covered with words was tied to a long thin rope and slowly slid down the tree trunk to the ground.
A man under the tree reached out to take the note and hurriedly ran towards the center of the village.
Song Jixiang handed the note in his hand to Xiao Ruyi who was sitting next to him.
"Look, our village is now a hot commodity. I don't know how many people are eyeing it."
Xiao Ruyi took the note, glanced at it briefly, then his brows gradually frowned and his expression became serious.
He passed the note to several other people present. Everyone who passed the note around had a more serious expression on their face.
There are now 1,652 people in the village. Excluding the elderly, children and women, there are only more than 700 people who can resist the enemy.
According to the information conveyed on the note, a large number of people are pouring into the village from all directions, and preliminary estimates suggest that the number has reached two to three thousand.
And this is just a rough estimate. The actual situation may be more serious. Perhaps more people will arrive one after another, and by then, the number will be even larger and more shocking.
As night fell, the bustling village gradually quieted down.
In the silence, only a few lights flickered faintly. The air was filled with a sense of tranquility, as if the whole world had entered a sweet dream.
Green vines spread silently and wantonly. They climbed along the tree trunks and the ground, covering the entire mountain village in layer upon layer, interweaving into a dense network of green leaves, mysterious and full of vitality.
The soft light coming from the house is like a warm embrace, gently wrapping the bluestone path in front of the door.
Most of the houses in the village look the same, as if they were cast from the same mold. They are scattered in various corners of the village and blend into the surrounding environment.
bang bang bang-
There was a knock on the door.
Song Jixiang responded and opened the door.
"It's you! Please come in and sit down!" Song Jixiang showed a surprised expression on his face. He quickly let the person outside the door into the house and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.
Shangguan Yu looked around the room and found that it was simply furnished with only a bed, a table, and a few chairs, with a few paintings hanging on the wall. The whole room looked very neat and clean.
She nodded silently. Like her son, her room could be described as extremely simple, not at all like a young girl's boudoir.
What her eldest brother said was indeed true, these two children were a perfect match. As for the arranged marriage, she could see that the little girl Yan Nan didn't like her wooden son at all.
"The room is nicely decorated. Although a bit simple, it's quite cozy." Shangguan Yu said with a smile.
Song Jixiang smiled a little embarrassedly: "I rarely stay in the house, so I didn't decorate it much."
Shangguan Yu elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip, then slowly put the cup down, stared at Song Jixiang, and said softly: "I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Song Jixiang raised his head, looked directly into Shangguan Yu's eyes, and responded sincerely: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."
Shangguan Yu took out a warm jade pendant from his arms. The jade pendant was emerald green and crystal clear, with intricate and exquisite patterns carved on it.
She held it in her hand and rubbed it carefully.
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Yu finally spoke: "This jade pendant is an old item handed down from my Shangguan ancestors! It has been passed down through generations. Today, I would like to ask you to help me keep it well."
As he spoke, Shangguan Yu carefully handed the jade pendant to Song Jixiang.
"Why me?" She blurted out the thought in her mind. She really didn't understand.
"Because this jade pendant is destined to be with you!" Shangguan Yu smiled and looked at Song Jixiang lovingly, full of deep meaning.
Song Jixiang didn't want to accept such a valuable item, but he saw that Shangguan Yu was determined not to give up until she accepted it.
She still took the jade pendant.
The moment you touch it, a refreshing coolness spreads through your fingertips throughout your body, making you feel comfortable all over, even in the hot wilderness, and the heat around you seems to have dissipated a lot.
The strangest thing is that the supernatural power that was originally under free control seemed to be a Pandora's box suddenly opened by a prank, and became restless.
She tried her best to suppress it, and it was slightly relieved. Even so, her little face was still red.
Shangguan Yu saw that something was wrong with her and ran out in a hurry. While running, he did not forget to turn back to comfort her: "Girl, you are not feeling well. Wait, I, I will go call Ruyi over!... Wait..."
