Chapter 14: Counting Crumbs
Zhiyi tried the door once, and the bar did not move.
"He barred me in," she told the tiger.
Xuezhao yawned.
"He built the Thunder Hall with a window and a ladder, and he thinks a bar will do it."
She put on her apron, took her bronze furnace for no reason except that it was hers, and climbed out the window.
The iron rungs were cold and wet with dew.
She went up them one at a time, and Xuezhao followed her onto the roof.
At the top she stopped.
The ridge of the roof looked down the whole slope of the mountain, and the slope was full of beasts.
They were not in the Great Courtyard where the war god had gone to call them.
They were here.
Three hundred of them sat in rows on the grass below the Thunder Hall.
Wolves and bears and tigers sat in rows, with the nine-tailed fox in front.
The cranes stretched their necks up, and the old black ox waited at the very back where Mu had walked him.
