Chapter 118 (2/2)
Xiao Bai followed behind hi ahead again, the stretch ofaloft,between the Heaven and Earth, on the ancient path, these few tiny humans…
Ghost Li in these ten years, came numerous times to the southern border for BiYao, s about the local people here
The southern border was a vast territory, a vast but sparsely populated, other than the barbaric tribes in the extre continuously for thousand ofon the southern border fringe, , Li, GaoShan
Ordering by population, Zhuang tribe had the most and made up almost forty percent of the total southern border population Going by territory, Miao tribe was the est andfolkways, the least populated GaoShan tribe was the ile and brave
These five big tribes, lived at the southern border fringe for generations and generations, each of the tribes had their own language but on the whole, they used a language si between tribes, just that more or less it contained the ethnic tribes ‘characteristics‘
For so many years, naturally there were times where they coht but there was no lack of scheradually the tribes occupied their own area but there were also situations where territories interlaced and resulted in fights
And where each tribe’s lands es, towns, stockade where several tribes’ people cohabitated, the maxi together
And the TianShui Stockade that Xiao Bai , Tu and GaoShan tribes bordered on, it was also on the southern border fringe and quite a well-known bustling place
The sky slowly got dark, when it was nearing evening time, Ghost Li, Xiao Bai, Xiao Hui, two humans and one monkey finally walked into TianShui Stockade
Although there was a stockade word in the nahold built commonly on the mountain tops, TianShu Stockade was built on a wide, flat land, paths leading out from the stockade in north, south, east and west directions, according to what Xiao Bai had explained on the way here, this place was originally built by the Tu tribe and the initial location was not here, instead it was on a mountain located near southwest, because there was a clear spring at the top of the mountain so it was named TianShu Stockade
[Translator’s note: TianShu means Heaven water]
Just that later on when the four tribes lands borders rew, it became the place where different tribes cohabitated And as the trading radually increased and stayed on the mountaintop, firstly the place was cramped and inconvenient, secondly, it was also difficult travelling in and out, even though the southern border commoners were much healthier and fitter than Central Plains people but no one would be willing to climb up the mountain everyday to train their bodies
As such, slowly people started to relocate to the foot of the mountain and as the days went, the nuhold’s population graduallytrades between the four tribes, theto the place increased, the scale of the trades also expanded, as for the original hold, overtime fell into disrepair, only the name, TianShui Stockade, still remained
The sky had just turned di to and fro, a hubbub of voices, at ties could be heard loudly, very much different from the deserted ancient path that they had ca on Xiao Bai’s shoulder felt very intrigued, itseverywhere, [zhi zhi] calling unceasingly
The three-eyed monkey was after all unusual and very soon attracted the stares of the people on the streets, and a few children wearing southern border tribes apparel even followed behind the funny faces at Xiao Hui, teasing it
Xiao Hui was by nature ot excited, its tail swished to and fro and looked as if it was about to jump down and play too, luckily Ghost Li hu of his arm and held it in his hands Xiao Hui, helpless and kneould not be able to run off, cli [zhi zhi] noises at the children behind and also i their funny faces, the children were evenloudly, looked like they felt very intrigued too
Ghost Li frowned, felt slightly peeved but not because Xiao Hui was playful but because he had other concerns
He turned his head and looked slightly to the side, Xiao Bai’s lips had a faint shing and frolicking, the coarse fabric garment, how could it conceal her skin-deep lovable beauty
Not to say at this southern border fringe, the severe wind and snow, most of the women looked ordinary, their skin dark, even at the Central Plains, with this several thousand years of cultivation transforentle deant appearance, every frown and every s drunk
And as expected, after a , more and more people looked over and those adults’ stares, very naturally and very quickly, from the monkey shi+fted to that lady whose beauty was unable to be concealed by the coarse garment
I out, the crowd felt astonished by the sight and that lady under the nuhtest eht s
Ghost Li felt very vexed, with that kind of attention, it was definitely not his intention and was just thinking if he should remind this lady beside hiet up early in thethe next day and head for that Seven Mile Cave, which was then the important matter to do
Just that, as if his intention was destined not to be realized, a character that definitely always appeared in the innuht now had shown up
The hooligan in the folktales, at this southern border fringe, in the sparsely populated tribes, actually also existed
Threesier-like back and bear-like waist, speaking half unfa, started to take liberties with Xiao Bai
Hooligan A: “Oh, thatthis woman is really beautiful!”
Xiao Bai sently brushed past her face, with unspeakable loveliness, said, “Is it?”
In that instant, the croas in an uproar
The three hooligans were extre his good spirits, “Little sister, follownice!”
[Translator’s note: A Chinese idio to eat delicious food and drink hard liquor drinks]
The onlookers crowding around ilanced at Ghost Li beside her, her face still s
Hooligan C an B, “Do you even knohat is to eat spicy and drink so nice, that is called eat tasty and drink spicy!” after speaking, he turned to Xiao Bai, “Little sister, ood faruarantee you…”
Speaking halfway, he was unable to continue, Xiao Bai s straight fro eyes like water, as if about to spill out
Just that her body instead stepped back and stood beside Ghost Li, gently said, “I am already someone with a husband”
The onlookers, again another commotion, Xiao Hui as on Ghost Li’s shoulder, [sou] a sound, dropped down froround
After a round, using itsand [zhi zhi] laughing out loud
Ghost Li’s face was soans in front of him, six pairs of vicious eyes, filled with enmity at him
After a ed over, seemed like the southern border proverb, wife from fists, was still full of vitality after thousands and hundreds of years, serving the southern border people
[Peng! Peng! Peng!]
Three sounds, three huures flew out, crashed onto the walls by the street and then heavily fell down, groaning loudly
The croas speechless, Ghost Li indifferently said, “Let’s find a place to rest, ill leave early to he walked ahead, Xiao Hui laying on the ground, caught up with two or three leaps, scurried up to his shoulder, its ly, turned and made a funny face at XIao Bai
Xiao Bai s to Ghost Li, she suddenly quietly said, “You see I was locked up for three hundred years and yet I’ht?”
Ghost Li, not a word, only quickened his steps
