[Twelve Kingdoms] The dance of the vast sky in the mountains

?She opened her eyes.

The blue sky came into view, the breath of green grass and seedlings penetrated into her nose, and the lonely chirping of cicadas came from her ears, and she sat up.Surrounded by endless fields, there is no sign of anyone, quiet and peaceful.What is this place?

Heaven?Ancient?Alien?Different world?

Are you kidding, is that a clichéd plot fabricated in the novel?According to common sense, it is probably somewhere near her home. Anyway, her home is on the outskirts of the city, very close to the countryside.

But how did she come here?Could it be... sleepwalking?No way?

She stood up, only to find that the snow-white clothes were covered with dust and dirty, and the original color could not be seen at all.Forget it, the most urgent thing is to find someone to ask for directions, but also be careful that the locals lie to her.Hmph, if anyone dares to make an idea of ​​her, she will definitely let that person experience the strength of the blue belt in taekwondo.Besides, the small gangs on the street are not for nothing, as the eldest sister, she will set a good example for her younger brothers!

Brushing her hair casually, she strode forward along the winding path. As long as there is a path, she must be able to find a place with people.After walking for about half an hour, she finally saw the house, and some people around the house were working in the fields.

Looking at the simple bungalow, which was obviously made of earth, she immediately stopped in her tracks.Such old houses, such old clothes.She looked in amazement at the apparently ancient attire of the men bent over their work, and immediately understood that something was unusual.It seemed that she had indeed arrived in a strange place, perhaps a country she had never heard of.

She was thinking about where to hide and figure things out slowly when a person looked up and saw her.

If you suffer, will you be treated as a guest, or will you be deported or arrested as an intruder?She tried her best to see something from the expressions of those people, but there was neither kindness nor hostility in them, only shock and panic.

Looks like she won't be welcome.Thinking like this, she was about to slip away quickly, when those people knelt down and bowed down from a distance.Wait, why do you want to bow down to her?Is it possible...to regard her in "fantastic costumes" as a fairy?It is possible that no matter which country or region has its own mythology, if you suddenly see a strange person in front of you, you will probably think it is a fairy.

Those people seemed to be talking about something, but she couldn't understand it at all, which made her somewhat uneasy.Language is the most important tool for communication, and a language barrier is the biggest obstacle to mastering the situation.In any case, let's deal with these people first, and run away immediately when the situation is wrong, there should be no problem.Those people are farmers, and they won't suffer too much if they do it.

Having made up her mind, she slowly walked forward and reached out to help the woman closest to her.The woman looked at her flattered, and she became more sure of her guess.She must be regarded as some kind of messenger from heaven!

She smiled and pointed to her dusty clothes, the woman immediately understood, turned her head and said something to the other people who were lying on the ground, and then led her to a room.

Huh, okay!It would be great if I could change the clothes that caused trouble. I took a closer look just now, and everyone's hair and pupil colors are different, so her golden hair should not be too eye-catching.As long as they change into their clothes, it won't be a problem to walk around here in the future, right?

Zhao Xin received a very good reception at the woman's house.Not only clean clothes, warm meals, but the woman even prepared bath water for her—after all, even taking a bath can feel the eyes of visiting eyes through the screen and bamboo curtain. You will feel uncomfortable, right?What's more...it's in this kind of pure ancient wooden barrel.

Therefore, even though she had been hungry all morning and was always energetic, she lost her appetite when faced with rough meals.But for the sake of future adventures, she reluctantly ate some, and then prepared to run away.After all, her "fairy" is a fake, and it will be miserable after a long time.What are those people outside the window talking about?Could it be to detain her as a Buddha statue?She listened to the whispers outside the house and guessed in distress.

(Why did Master Taifu appear here?)

(Is it really Taisu-sama?)

(Can't we petition Master Taifu?)

(Yes, no matter what, Taifu-sama will kindly help us, right?)

They didn't notice at all that "Master Taifu" seemed to have no idea what they were talking about, and they were just discussing enthusiastically on their own.

Ah, what are you talking about?Supporting her head with one hand, Zhao Xin rubbed her temples with the other hand.Really, there are so many people around here, there is not even a gap for slipping away, and she can't fight the blood out of revenge, she is so anxious to death.

There was a sudden commotion outside.

(Master Li Chang is here.)

(Master Lichang, please petition Master Taifu for us!)

Zhao Xin looked at the old woman who was walking over step by step with a cane in bewilderment. Could it be an elder or something?So, are you really going to confess me as a living god?She sighed secretly, no!

I saw the old woman walking in front of her tremblingly, shaking her withered old torso with only a few bones left, and slowly knelt down.

no?She would not bear to bully such an old man!She hurriedly stepped forward and supported the old woman before her knees touched the ground.

Fortunately, fortunately!She, who was secretly rejoicing, raised her eyes and saw the old woman's dry eye sockets full of gratitude. She suddenly had goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't help it, she was very cold about ugly things!

(I wish Taifu-sama good health.)

Zhao Xin smiled, pretending to understand.

The old woman immediately took out a crumpled piece of paper from her bosom and handed it over.

This, this, this, this... what should I do?It's time to wear clothes!Zhao Xin bit the bullet and took it, and while unfolding it, she secretly prayed that she wouldn't take it down.

(Lord Taifu, this is a petition signed jointly by our village and neighboring ri, please Master Taifu to be the master for us and eradicate the evil officials.)

Zhao Xin pretended to be calm and nodded randomly. Anyway, no matter what others say, as long as he nods or smiles, he can usually get away with it. Alas, there are only words on this piece of paper—huh?Her eyes widened involuntarily.Read that right?It seems to be Chinese characters... No, look carefully, some are traditional characters, and some are written in slightly different ways, but they can still be understood in general.Could it be that this place, like Japan, learned Chinese and made changes in ancient times, only the pronunciation is different in the end?

Anyway, let's read the content first.

What the paper seems to say is that a certain township-level official (I don’t know if he belongs to the same position as the Chinese township chief) oppressed the people and plundered evil deeds.Could it be that she is going to be a knight to punish rape and eradicate evil?Hehe, she thought she didn't have that ability, and it was impossible to find out who the town official was.

Folding the paper carefully and putting it in her arms (she remembered that people in costume dramas did this, but would it fall out?), she pretended to nod to the old woman and walked out.

Since she was asked to "eliminate evil", no one would stop her, right?As for the request on this piece of paper, since she couldn't refuse to accept it here, she had no choice but to ask someone to help after clarifying the place.

Sure enough, no one stopped her, and everyone watched her go away, bowing their heads respectfully at her back under the leadership of the old woman.

"If they know that I'm a counterfeit, will they throw me into the pot and cook?" Zhao Xin muttered in a low voice, and embarked on a journey to find the answer.

At the same time, another girl on the journey looked up at the sky. The trip lasted for nearly a year and was about to reach the end.
