slightest bit of colour, her cheeks slightly pinched, her big pair of eye sunken, he appearance is extremely haggard and her body emaciated. Xiao Feng could not help but feel guilty: “She survived but became a walking skeleton, why do I only remember her flaws?” he laughed and said: “Since you like to travel west, let us travel west. AhZi, once there is great improvement in your injuries, I’ll take you to the Korean borders to look at the ocean, the boundless clear water as far as the eye can see, the scenery will truly be amazing.”

AhZi clapped and grinned: “Of course, of course, actually we don’t have to wait until I recover completely, we can go now.” Xiao Feng gave a “Yi” sound, he was shock and happy: “AhZi, your hand can move again.” AhZi smiled and said: “I could move my hands 14 days ago, and today they became much more nimble.” Xiao Feng said happily: “Wonderful! You naughty girl, how long do you intend to keep it from me?” AhZi flashed a sly look in her eyes, smiled and said: “I would rather not move forever, only then will you accompany me like this every day. Once I recovered, you will naturally chase me away again.”

Xiao Feng listen to her speak her sincere feelings, his sense of pity rose spontaneously, and he said: “I am a boorish man, I accidentally injured you and you ended up in this sorry state. What good will it do for you to accompany me every day?”

AhZi did not reply, after a long pause, she whispered: “Brother-in-law, why did you exert so much strength when you hit me with your palm that day?” Xiao Feng did not wish to bring up the past, he shake his head and said: “The incident had long passed, why bring it up again? AhZi, I injure you to such a state, I feel terribly apologetic, do you hate me? “AhZi said: “I do not hate you. Why would I hate you? I originally wanted you to accompany me, aren’t you accompanying me now? I am very happy.”

As Xiao Feng listen to her, he thought that her intention was bizarre, but her recent conduct was indeed excellent, and thus it must be due to his attentive care which got rid of her vicious temperament, and he went back to the tribe to prepare the horses, carriage, tents, dried rations and other things for their journey west.

The next morning, the two of them headed west. After travelling about 10 li, AhZi asked: “Brother-in-law, have you guessed it?” Xiao Feng said: “Guess what?” AhZi said: “Do you know the reason why I attack you with the poison needle that day?” Xiao Feng shook his head and said: “You thoughts are difficult to pin down, how can I guess?”AhZi sighed and said: “Since you can’t guess then just forget it. Brother-in-law, there are so many geese here, why do they arrange in formation and fly south? ”

Xiao Feng looked up, he saw two formation of geese, and they lined up to form an arrowhead and they flew south, he said: “The weather is getting cold, geese are afraid of the cold, they are flying south to take refuge against the cold. AhZi said: “Then why do they fly back during spring? Flying back and forth yearly, isn’t it tiring? If they are cold, just stay in the south permanently and don’t come back.”

Xiao Feng devote himself to the study of martial arts, he never gave a thought about the habits of animals and pests, under her questioning he did not know how to reply, he shake his head and laughed: “I do not know why they are not afraid of hardships, I guess these wild geese are born in the north, they are nostalgic and return home.”

AhZi nodded: “It must be true. Look at the last geese, its body is not large, but it is also flying south. Eventually, when it father, mother, sister and brother-in-law all return north, it will naturally follow them back.”

Xiao Feng heard her say “Sister, Brother-in-law” these 4 words, his heart was moved, and he turn his head to look at her, only to see her staring blanking at the geese formation, apparently her words were unintentional, he wondered: “With a casual word, she associated me with her parents, it seems that in her heart, she treat me as her closest relative. I cannot abandon her casually. When she recovered, I have to escort her to Dali and hand her over to her parents, only then will I complete the task I have been entrusted with.”

The two of them gossip along the way. When AhZi got tired, Xiao Feng immediately carried her off the horse and let her rest in the carriage. At dusk, he set up the camp in the woods. As they travelled for a few days, they finally reached the borders of the grass plains.

AhZi gaze into the distant, the grass plain was boundless and vast, she said happily: “The borders only cannot be seen in the west, but to be truly like an ocean, the borders must not be seen in all four direction.” Xiao Feng knew that she wanted to travel to the center of the grass plain, not wanting to go against her wish, he whipped the horse and travelled west.

Travelling west on the grass plain for a few day, when you look to all four direction, the borders of the grass plain really cannot be seen anymore. The weather is currently crisp autumn, along with the smell of the green grass, it is really refreshing and carefree. Many small beasts reside in the grass, Xiao Feng can hunt them for food easily and he felt carefree.

After a few days, in the afternoon, countless tents can be seen in the far distance, there are also banners and flags, it seems like a military camp, or it may be a tribe gathering. Xiao Feng said: “There’s alot of people at the front, I don’t know what they are doing, let’s just go back, we don’t want to stir up trouble.” AhZi said: “No! No! I want to go and watch. I can’t move my legs, how to stir up trouble for you?” Xiao Feng smiled and said: “Trouble will definitely come, it does not have to be cause by you, sometimes people just want to provoke you and you can never avoid such thing. AhZi laughed and replied: “Let’s just go and take a look, there is no harm.”

Xiao Feng knows her child-like disposition, she just love to watch rowdy spectacle, he guided the horse over slowly. The terrain of the grass plain is flat, although the tents can be spotted far away, but the route to it is quite far. After travelling for seven li, the “Wu Wu” call of the bungle can be heard loudly, followed closely by a gathering dust cloud, two cavalry ranks scattered off, a troop went north, and the other gallop south.

Xiao Feng was slightly surprised, and said: “Not good, it is the Khitan cavalry!” AhZi said: “It’s your own people, it can’t be better, why did you say it’s not good?” Xiao Feng said:” I don’t know them, let’s just go back.” He turn the horse and head back, after travelling a few steps, they heard the “Peng Peng” sound of the drums, and several troops of cavalry rush forward. Xiao Feng pondered: “It doesn’t seem like there are any enemy around, are they practising their tactical deployment?”

Suddenly he heard a loud cry: “Shoot the dear, shoot the deer!” West, north, south, the call to shoot the dear was shouted from all three directions. Xiao Feng said: “They are hunting in the vicinity, their numbers is really not small.” He carried AhZi onto the horseback immediately, rein in the horse, and observe afar on the eastern road.

The Khitan horsemen are wearing brocade robe, coupled with metal armour. The robes came in various colour team, red team, green team, yellow team, purple team, the flag of the team are of the same colour, the cavalry gallop back and forth, displaying a strong military presence, it is truly a magnificent sight. Xiao Feng and AhZi secretly applauded. The soldiers advance and retreat according to military orders, armed with spears they cornered the deer, they only gave a glace when they spotted Xiao Feng and AhZi, and ignored them subsequently.

Four troops of cavalry surrounded from all four sides and trapped ten deers in the middle. Occasionally, a deer will escape from a gap in the cavalry rank, and a small squad will break off to chase and force the deer back into the encirclement.
