Chapter 1 Birth

"Miss, take off your clothes quickly and I will dress up as you to lead the pursuit!"

A gorgeous carriage was galloping on the quiet mountain road in the late night, and two horses pulling the carriage gradually slowed down. A beautiful woman in purple dress took off her coat and jewelry on her head with the help of her maid, and then handed it to the maid.

"Miss, there is a forest in front of you. Get off here and run deep into the woods and don't look back!"

The maid looked at the lady running towards the woods, waved her whip, and drove the horse to a road without return. The carriage ran along the mountain road toward the top of the mountain, and bursts of rapid sounds of horse hooves came not far from the night.

"Chasing, their horses can no longer run!"

As more than a dozen knights in black caught up with the carriage, the maid in the lady's costume looked sadly at the direction of the lady's escape, and fell into the deep valley with the carriage...

The lady who had escaped in a hurry staggered to the woods not far away. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her abdomen. She knew that her child was about to be born. At night, many people saw a pair of flying phoenixes flying high in the distant night sky, flying in two different directions. This strange scene lasted for a long time before gradually disappearing from people's sight.

In the small fishing village, which was late at night, almost every household had rested, and only the lights were on at the entrance of the village. Mr. Xu, who was weaving the fishing nets, and his wife who was on the defense line were talking about the past. Suddenly, a watchdog Ah Hei cried outside the door, and then a few strange footsteps came, as if a man was walking with a heavy thing on his back.

"Old man, it's so late, who will come back to our house?"

Dad Xu listened, shook his head, and said, "Listen to the footsteps, I probably are not from our village. Who would pass by our small fishing village so late?"

Dad Xu put down the fishing net that was being weaved in his hand, stood up and walked to the door to look out. Ah Hei's screams became even more rapid at this time.

"Old man, let's go out and have a look, so that our Ah Hei won't bite people again!"

"I understand, old lady, if you are in poor health, don't come out!"

Dad Xu opened them and was startled by a woman in blue dressed with disheveled hair that suddenly appeared in front of him. The strange woman in blue supported one elbow on the door frame with her arm, and the other arm struggled to hand a small package to Dad Xu.

"Save my child, please adopt this child no matter what!"

After hearing the woman in blue, Dad Xu recovered after hearing what the woman in blue said. Then he realized that what the strange woman handed to him was not a package, but a swaddle cloth living with a baby. Just as Dad Xu was about to ask something, the woman in blue tried hard to lift a bracelet on her wrist and the swaddle cloth into Dad Xu's hand, and then the woman slowly fell to the ground.

When Mr. Xu heard someone talking to her husband and there was something about the child, she hurriedly walked from the inner room to the outer room, but saw a strange woman's eyes instantly lost.

When Dad Xu hurriedly handed the cradle to his wife, and when he was about to help the strange woman up, he found that the strange woman was dead. Ah Hei circled around the dead woman. Dad Xu pondered for a moment and first helped his wife back into the room.

"Old man, what should I do? In the middle of the night, there was a baby in our family for no reason, and another dead person of unknown origin appeared. It will be dawn tomorrow. How can we explain to the people in the village?"

"My wife, don't panic. I went to Xiaohai next door and asked him to help me bury the dead person overnight. Let's talk about the others when I come back!"

Dad Xu comforted his wife a few words, then moved the dead woman to the yard, but quietly came to the window of Xiaohai's house next door. After a few low knocks, a young man said reluctantly: "Dad Xu, what are you calling me in the middle of the night?"

With a creaking sound, the window was halfway open, and the face of a young man with a beard appeared. The young man reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Dad Xu outside the window strangely.

"Xiaohai, something happened at my house and I need your help!"

Xiaohai saw that Mr. Xu looked nervous and knew that something must have happened, otherwise Mr. Xu would not come to find him in the middle of the night. Since at the entrance of the Xiaoyu Village, there were only Mr. Xu and Xiaohai's families. What happened at Mr. Xu's house did not cause any unnecessary trouble.

When Xiaohai came to the door of Mr. Xu's house, he saw Ah Hei circling around a black thing. With a great curiosity, he came to the vicinity of the body in a few steps.

"Ah! Woo woo..."

"Sound down, do you want to wake up all the people in the village?"

When Dad Xu heard Xiaohai's scream, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands. Xiaohai struggled for a few times, his expression returned to normal, and Dad Xu also let go of his hand.

"Dad Xu, what's going on? Are you so old and still learning to kill someone!"

"You kid, you'll talk nonsense. Dad, I'm so old, let alone killing people, I'll just deal with it even when I'm fishing. If it weren't for your kid's help, our old couple would have starved to death long ago!"

"Dad, this?"

"When we buried this woman, I will tell you in detail when we look back!"

Xiaohai helped Mr. Xu carry the woman's body and came to the lakeside of Xiyue Lake, not far from the fishing village. There was a small path leading to the distance by the lake. In the dark night, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu walked two or three miles away and came to a higher small slope.

A few days ago, Mr. Xu dug a rabbit nest here. Before the pit was filled, Xiaohai took the tools handed over by Mr. Xu and quickly dug the rabbit nest into a tomb that was enough to bury people. Mr. Xu brought a reed mat, and Xiaohai rolled the body of a strange woman into the mat and was about to carry it into the tomb.

"Xiaohai, wait first, let's see what this woman looks like. If someone comes to me in the future, we can tell them!"

Mr. Xu put the hair on the strange woman's face and found that the dead woman was not only very young, but also very beautiful. Although she was dead, she gave him a sense of nobility.

"Dad, this young woman seems to be a wealthy family. Look at her clothes are all silk!"

In the small fishing village, no one has ever worn silk clothes. Xiaohai went to the nearby county town to do short-term work. When he saw a rich man wearing expensive silk clothes, he was determined to think that one day if he could afford one piece of clothing, he would be satisfied.

Dad Xu looked at the woman's hands and confirmed that the woman was a person who had never done work.

"Xiaohai, help me take off this woman's coat, so let's leave a certificate!"

With the help of Mr. Xu, Xiaohai easily took off the woman's blue silk clothes. They then found that the blue silk clothes were put on in a hurry and were not completely worn. They couldn't figure out what the woman encountered before her death, so they had to check the woman's body and found that there was nothing else, so they put the woman in the tomb.

"Xiaohai, remember that what happened tonight must not be told. You also saw a lot of blood marks on this woman's face. It is very likely that she was chased and escaped to our fishing village!"

"I understand, dad, if someone knows it, we can't even explain it clearly after entering the yamen!"

On the way home, Mr. Xu told Xiaohai the whole story. Xiaohai knew that the whole thing was definitely not something that a poor fisherman could afford. Along the way, he followed Mr. Xu without saying a word, and returned home and slept soundly.

"Old man, have you buried the person?"

"My wife, don't ask too much. Since the matter has already happened, we are not afraid of knocking on the door without any worries! I have thought about it along the way. We pretend to go out to the market tomorrow, and then we will pick up a child on the way back, and no one will doubt it!"

After Dad Xu said this, he then came to the baby and looked at the sleeping little guy. He felt a little sad. This little guy didn't even speak, but his mother was already dead. What a pitiful child!

Because there were frequent wars in several small countries around the Great Jin Dynasty and the Li Tang Empire, fleeing people often passed by their small fishing villages, and villagers once picked up children. Xiaohai was an orphan picked up by his adoptive parents. Later, after his adoptive parents passed away, Mr. Xu took care of him until he became an adult.

The next day, before dawn, Xu and Xiaohai went fishing with Xiaohai. When the other villagers set out to go to the lake to fish, Xu and his wife had already gone to the town to go to the market. Xiaohai returned home and took out half of the money he had saved from under the bed, thinking that he should go to the county town in two days to buy some children's clothes for the little guy adopted by Xu.

At noon that day, some refugees who fled passed by the small fishing village. When Mr. Xu and his wife appeared at the entrance of the village with their "picked" children, the other villagers didn't find anything strange. Only two villagers who were familiar with them asked casually, and congratulations on their own, no one asked about the children again.

Since adopting the child of a strange woman, Mr. Xu has been very happy and always happy on weekdays. Originally, he was the headmaster of the county, but because he was injured while catching the thief, he returned to the countryside to marry and live a fishing life. His wife has never given birth to her, which always makes the couple secretly feel sad.

Since adopting the child of a strange woman, the old couple has been happy all day long. Soon, five years have passed, and Xu Tianci began to practice martial arts with his father. In his spare time, he followed his neighbor Uncle Hai to fish in the lake...

Can the child of a strange woman grow up safely in a small fishing village? What will his future be like?
