Section 9

What kind of young lady does that petty person want to be? A girl who sells umbrellas everywhere, or a lady kept in seclusion by a noble family

That petty person is waiting for you

Several months later, one night deep into the night, the townspeople were awakened by the sound of synchronized footsteps. Upon stepping outside, they saw a long line of torches winding along the mountain path from a great distance, having reached the front of the town.

Good

The umbrella seller returned to Jiujiu Bridge Town

The umbrella seller is changing his bandages in a sunlit courtyard, where two lush loquat trees stand by the wall, their fruits still green. In the courtyard, there is a patch of vegetable garden, with the greens already an inch tall, glistening with dew, showing promising growth

Having finished changing the medicine, the two sat lazily under the loquat tree in the small courtyard, the breeze slightly tipsy, the sunlight just right, and the tranquility of this moment felt as if it had been stolen

Every time I see you, I need you to change my dressing

Xie Ling thought for a moment and could not come up with what kind of girl would be good, "As long as it's you, that's enough."

In the next life, you shall be a young lady

I will do it for you later

Madam Xie understood that settling down was not easy, and she was also mindful of the kindness he showed by risking his life to deliver the message, so she sent a considerable number of gifts over.

After nightfall, the Chisong army began its assault on Jiujiu Bridge Town. The battle lasted for six days, resulting in a great victory for the Chisong army, which occupied Jiujiu Bridge Town

Good

Easy to use

The petty person knows

Brother San, I apologize, but the family can no longer be protected

In the next life, I will return to Jiujiu Bridge Town and reclaim my home

The umbrella seller, draped in clothing, climbed to the rooftop to observe as the fire dragon delved deep into the heart of the town, its footsteps echoing like the war drums heralding the arrival of the god of the underworld

This time he did not go to the Xie family, but instead rented a modest courtyard, indicating his intention to settle down here

Xie Ling returned this time in an even more disheveled state, with a cut above the brow bone, and if it were to shift slightly, it would be right on the eyeball

As long as there is something to exchange, those who have nothing to exchange are already in their coffins listening to the crickets chirp

Each household took in the injured soldiers, and the apothecary in the town had run out of medicine. The Chisong people held the mountain pass, while the children in the town learned to identify medicinal herbs from the doctor. Unable to leave the mountains, they searched for herbs by the riverside, under the bridges, and in every place on the hillsides. The wealthy families in the town opened their granaries and distributed grain without leaving a single grain behind. The common people understood that if they continued to mind their own business, their homes would soon be unsustainable.

Xie Ling died heroically on the bridge, yet stood tall and firm, with his long spear resting against his chest, refusing to fall even in death

The swallows in front of the eaves brought twigs to build their nests, and before long, the clouds obscured the sun, and the sky turned completely gray

The Liu Cang army was forced to retreat all the way to Jiujiu Bridge Town

Xie Ling smiled and looked at the snake hairpin on his head: "Is this hairpin easy to use?"
