Chapter 277 The Little Nun 5
After eating a large bowl of meat and helping the old man wash the dishes, Ling Yi retreated back to her room to continue cultivating her inner strength.
As the night passed, although there was still little progress, Ling Yi felt that she no longer had that sickly state of fainting at any moment.
The next morning, as soon as the rooster crowed, Ling Yi snatched the old man's hoe and began hoeing the ground until the sun was blazing on the horizon.
When her back was scorching hot from the sun, Lingyi carried her hoe up the mountain.
When we went down the mountain again, we tied three more game animals to our hoes. We told the old man the same thing as last night: "Kill them all!"
The old man, who wanted to get out of bed but was forced to chop wood at home by Lingyi, was speechless.
The old woman, pondering how to alter Lingyi's bedding, was speechless.
Is this mountain your hunting ground?
Can you grab whatever you want?
Ling Yi gave a strong affirmation to this question, saying that they really could grab whatever they wanted!
Especially after her physical deficiencies were repaired and her internal energy became more and more refined, she could practically grab whichever one she wanted!
Pheasants and rabbits are normal, and occasionally a wild boar or something similar can be dragged back.
The two elderly people were only doing charity work and wanted to save the young nun on the mountain, but they never expected to save a top hunter.
In a short period of time, the faces of the two elderly people were rounded from eating so much, and Ling Yi's pale face and swaying body were a thing of the past!
With the help of her animal friends on the mountain, Lingyi is now a healthy human with a rosy complexion and a fit body.
boom.
At the point where the fleeing lovers fell off the cliff, a stone that they couldn't lift before was picked up, and Lingyi knew the time had come.
After eating another bowl of meat, Ling Yi put down her bowl and said to the two smiling elderly people, "I'll water the land one more time tomorrow, and then I'll prepare to leave."
The elderly people paused for a moment, their lips trembled slightly, but they ultimately said nothing.
During this time, they all witnessed Ling Yi's efforts.
During the day, they worked hard farming, hunting, and practicing stances and staff fighting. At night, they would occasionally do difficult moves in their rooms that they did not understand.
They didn't know what it was, but they knew it was something that would ensure her safety when she went out.
"Be careful." The old woman stroked Ling Yi's increasingly dark and shiny hair and said softly, "I sewed a bundle for you and altered two sets of clothes for you. The world outside is dangerous, you must come back alive."
She didn't know if the child would ever come back, but she offered her sincerest blessings.
Ling Yi grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back!"
She had promised to reunite her whole family at the nunnery, and she had also promised to bring the old man's relatives back!
The next day, Lingyi carried water all day to help the rice grains fill out, and then left under the cover of night, carrying the bundle prepared by the old man.
The two elderly people, who had difficulty seeing in the darkness, stared at the blurry shadows in the night and remained silent.
The road leading outside was eerily quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects.
It was only after leaving that quiet mountain villa that Ling Yi realized how desolate the outside world was.
After walking for two whole days, Lingyi saw that the once prosperous county town that her master had described was now a ghost town, with only dilapidated houses standing on the ground.
She searched the county town twice and found several elderly people hiding there, only to learn the truth:
The imperial army looted this place once, then the Southern army looted it again, and later, some mountain bandit from who-knows-where also came in and looted it.
These three raids successfully robbed everyone in the city who could escape, as no one wanted to live such a precarious life.
Originally, there were still some elderly, weak, women and children left in the city, but the rebel army came again some time ago. Although they did not rob, they took people away, leaving only the elderly who really did not want to stay.
Seeing the sorrow in the old people's eyes, Ling Yi sighed, asked about the direction the rebels had left in, and then chased after them.
After that, she encountered several more villages and towns, and the results were similar: all the people who were still usable had been taken away by the rebels.
In the end, Lingyi couldn't find a single person to talk to in the entire village.
She was speechless. Just how desperate was this rebel army for manpower that they didn't even spare the elderly!
Now she's in trouble; she doesn't even have anyone to give her directions!
Lost and disoriented, Lingyi, who had no choice but to camp in the wilderness, roasted a large fish she had caught by the river over a campfire, inwardly complaining.
The campfire crackled, emitting a fragrant aroma as the fish was grilled.
In the distant mountains, a skinny monkey cursed, "Damn it, this woman still has the appetite to eat fish!"
They were mountain bandits in this area, who used to make a living by robbing passing merchants and villages and towns at the foot of the mountain. But unfortunately, the rebel army moved all of them away, leaving nothing behind, not even grain or livestock.
That's why they haven't had a proper meal in a long time!
This morning, the brothers on guard duty said that someone had come down the mountain. They excitedly ran out, only to find that it was a woman all alone.
In this day and age, it's truly unbelievable that a woman would go out alone!
After observing for an entire afternoon, they realized that she really wasn't some bait released by an enemy faction to devour them, and they finally couldn't resist anymore!
Whether it's stealing women or money, stealing something is a win!
"Big brother, let's go!"
Several skinny guys looked at their leader with a fierce expression.
The leader looked at Ling Yi, his eyes red: "Go!"
When they finally came down, Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for so long, they finally made it down!
If she keeps dawdling, she'll be tempted to make the first move!
"This mountain... ah!"
Before the bandit leader could finish his lines, Ling Yi hit him on the neck with a pebble.
He suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground.
The others were startled, and the second-in-command roared, "Charge! This witch can't handle all of us!"
"Snapped!"
Then the second-in-command also fell down.
Seeing that this demoness could take down their leader with a single stone, the henchmen couldn't help but let all sorts of strange tales flash through their minds.
For example, mountain spirits and monsters...
In this day and age, what else but mountain spirits and monsters would dare to walk alone in the mountains and forests?
Damn it, they don't recognize a great person!
These were not exactly elite troops to begin with, and now that they had encountered something beyond their comprehension, they were utterly defeated.
Several rusty knives and various wooden sticks and spears fell to the ground, and they turned and fled in panic.
late.
The pile of small stones at Ling Yi's feet was prepared for these people; how could she let them leave so easily?
clap clap clap...
The small stones seemed to have eyes, hitting everyone on the neck and knocking them unconscious.
In the afternoon, the bandits were still mocking Ling Yi's childish behavior of squatting by the river picking up pebbles, but now they have learned a lesson from those pebbles.
Isn’t this a kind of fate?
