Now it is the month of July.

The weather is getting hotter. The carriage went through the street toward the gate, Feng Wu look outside and see the street was bustling and children running around. There are people who talk about the war that going to happen soon. Feng Wu listen to it and thought of her previous life.

There is a war that happens between the Yan empire and Wang empire but from what she remembers, there seems like someone manipulate so both counties have been fighting for years. She did not remember how many years it last but after the war ended, third Prince Lin become in power and control the Dark Eagle Army. She heard is a military that third Prince trains with blood so it can say how fierce it is.

Prince Lin Palaces.

Wang Yanlin was busily preparing to depart to the border. Yen came into the study room as he saw Wang Yanlin writing some on the paper. Today his young prince wears a black robe with golden thread embroidery on it. It brings out his cold aura and Yen shudder as he could feel his prince's mood.

" Your highness." Yen salute with his holding fist.

" Hmm. How was it?"

" Miss Feng depart to the countryside. It says she is jinx after Feng Wen who is Feng Wu's father invited a Taoist priest came to do a ritual to get rid of bad omen."

"Hmm." Wang Yanlin answers and pauses his hand but continues as nothing happens.

" Is everything ready?"

" Yes. Just waiting for young master order."

" Hmm. Let set out after one hour." Wang Yanlin looks at the picture he draws, smiles as his picture looks exactly like the little fox.

In the afternoon, Wang Yanlin set out since he going to the border first then the army will set out tomorrow to follow him. Wang Yanlin rides the black horse and looks stunned with his black robes. He has two guards following behind. Yen thought that it seem there will be blood at the border.

After a week, Feng Wu reaches the countryside village called Clear Water Villiage. It is located near the border of the Yan empire and the Hong empire. Its village is big but compare to Wang's capital, it is a small village but there is a lot of tourist and trading going on here. Feng Wu just hopes the war will not come to this village.

Feng Wu went to the Wen residence who is her grandmother's friend.

Xiao Li went to knock on the door entrance. Then someone came to open the door.

" Hello, who is this miss look for?" A servant asks.

" Hello. My young miss comes from the Wang capital and here is the letter my Old Madam writes to your Madam."

" Okay, wait here for a minute, let me go ask my Madam." The servant went back inside.

After a couple of minutes, the servant came and ask them to go inside.

Feng Wu went into the guest hall and saw an old woman look the same age as her grandmother.

" Are you Feng Wu?"

Feng Wu nodded.

" Sorry Madam, my young miss could not speak."

" Oh. It is okay. I understand." Old Madam Wen smiles and looks lovely at Feng Wu.

" I already found a place for you. Would you like to go visit?"

Feng Wu nodded.

" Bring Miss Feng to go see her residence."

A servant bring Feng Wu and Xiao Li to go to a residence near a little forest that time fifteen minutes as they drove the carriage to it.

It is not a very big residence but it fits enough for many people to live. Feng Wu walks into the residence through the gate and looks at the fence surrounding the residence, it is private and safer. She enters the house and looks around. It looks clean with a two-room pulse a guestroom connect with the bedroom. The kitchen is a little house beside the house and it seems like it connects to it since it has a door go through.

Feng Wu likes it since it is private and she doesn't want to live near anyone since it is hard for her when she wants to speak. So she gestures her hand to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li nod and speak to Wen's servant.

"My young miss like it so we will stay here for today on. Here is a little service for helping." Xiao Li gives a little money to the servant.

" Oh. Thank you. If you need anything just send us a message we will come help. Also there a lady will come to cook every day for the young miss but she won't live in here, so don't worry." The servant happily accepts the money and explains it to Xiao Li.

After the night end, Xiao Li and Feng Wu finish up pack and tide up the room.

The next morning, Feng Wu wake up early as she have a bad dream and she could not go sleep anymore. So she went out to look around the house and the place near the house. There she saw a little clear water stream behind the house. She also saw a lot of flowers and fruits but they look like it not edible.

She has been reading book of poison for a couple of months now so she was excited to see every poison fruit here. It still very early so there are some fog and the grass has dew on it. Each step she walk, her shoes will get wet by the dew. Feng Wu saw many different kind of flower, she crunch down to look at every flower and pick some flower, by the time she looks up at the sky, the sun already raises high now so she thought she should go back in case Xiao Li worry about her.

Days pass turn into months.

Months pass turn into years.

Years pass as Feng Wu grows up. 6 years pass.

In the mid winter to spring, there are snow melting and some are clot of snow on certain areas, tress and flower are start to grow. Near a clear water stream, there was a man who got a serious injury on his chest and he holding his chest looked around to check for the people who have chase him for many days now.

He is panting as he crunches down to scoop some water to drink but he heard a noise behind his back and he glances back but his hand which rests on the rock that has some green seaweed accidentally slips and he falls into the stream as the water is going downhill. He tried to help himself to swim to the shore but the water is going too fast and he is deeply injury now so it was hard for him to swim and he could feel that he start to lose consciousness and his head got knocked on a rock so he loses his conscious right there.
