    "Are you the Heavenly Official from the Xia Dynasty?" A voice sounded behind me. Not high, but bright, like the short clang of a bronze sword when it is unsheathed. I turned around. She was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt. The streets of Yindu were filled with white clothes, as white as filial piety, like bones, and like unpainted pottery. But she wore red, which was extremely red, like the color of blood before it dries, like the strongest moment of dusk. The clothes have narrow sleeves, and the cuffs wrap around the wrists to facilitate horseback riding and archery. There was a copper knife hanging on her waist. The scabbard was made of cowhide and was polished to a shine. The scabbard swayed gently with her movements, and it slapped on her thigh, making a dull "snap" sound. Behind her were two guards, standing not too far away but not too close, with their hands on the hilt of the knife, but not looking at me. They were looking at her back. "Yes." I said. "Have you ever seen a woman fight?" She asked. Her eyes are big, her eyebrows are very thick, and the tail of her eyebrows is raised upward. It is not the kind of carefully groomed eyebrows, but a natural energy. Her face was tanned wheat-colored by the sun, and there was a small scar on the bridge of her nose, slanted, as if she had been rubbed by some sharp instrument. "Never seen it." I said. This is the truth. There were women on the battlefield in the Xia Dynasty, but I have never seen anyone like her - standing here, she is an army in her own right. She smiled. The laughter was loud, not covered up, not tucked in, like a handful of sand sprinkled on a copper plate, making a clattering sound. The two guards behind her didn't smile, but their shoulders relaxed visibly. "Well you've seen it now," she said. She walked up to me and looked up at the sky. Her neck was raised, its lines were very hard, like a fully-stretched bow arm. She looked at it for a while and then asked: "Which one is the star for the expedition?" "Which one do you want to see?" "I don't look at the stars." She said, "I look at you. Wu Ding said that you can see the stars accurately and you don't tell lies." She turned her head and looked at me. There was no temptation in those eyes, only a straightforward trust. She wasn't here to ask about good or bad luck, she was here to find someone who wouldn't lie to her and told her she could go. "Are you going on an expedition?" I asked. "Tomorrow. Earthmoving." She said it very softly, as if she was talking about a normal thing, "Wu Ding asked me to lead three thousand people. I don't believe that those cracks on the bones, whether they go left or right, are all decided by Zhenren. I want you to tell me what the stars say."
