Chapter 6: Memories of Childhood
Nangong Mu looked at the fingers that were dyed black by the herbs, the lines on her hands were covered, and the circles of lines were looming, and the medicine made her hands feel crispy and numb. She looked at her palms in a daze, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift away...... Ten years ago, it was the day when Nalan Qianyu came to Nangong's house, and it was also the day she came to Nangong's house, and it was the beginning of her memory......
※※※
Six-year-old Xiao Mu held his grandfather's hand tightly, and his grandfather's hands were all wrinkled, which were traces left by the years, and they were prickly and uncomfortable to the touch. But she didn't dare to let go, because she was afraid! It was a gentle, kind man, at least for now. He said he was her maternal grandfather.
I don't know why, I don't remember my previous memories, she only knows the man in front of her. Therefore, she could only hold the man's hand tightly to hide the loss and panic in her heart. She doesn't know what the past is or where she wants to go in the future......
My grandfather walked so fast that she couldn't keep up, so she could only trot, and after a while, all the sweat on her forehead kept falling. Xiao Mu raised his head and wiped it, but when he put his hand down, it was red...... It turned out that there was blood on her face, where did the blood come from? Why did it come from? She didn't know! Suddenly panicked in her heart, she didn't know anything......
"What's your name?" said her grandfather, who suddenly stopped and looked down at her, gently wiping the blood from her face.
"My name is ...... Xiao Mu!" Xiao Mu raised his head and said softly, his voice trembling a little.
"Xiao Mu, is it? Then you will be called Nangong Mu in the future, go home with your grandfather, there are many children as old as you at home, it is very lively! You can play with your cousin and cousin in the future." ”
"Really?" Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, her black pupils shone brightly, and she wanted to play with other children. I always felt lonely before, why? I don't know......
My grandfather looked at her face, but he didn't seem to be looking at her, and my grandfather's face suddenly showed deep sorrow, and there was a little moistness in his eyes, I don't know if it was tears. After a long time, he sighed deeply and pulled Xiao Mu to walk slowly.
My grandfather took her to eat a lot of delicious food, but he didn't eat it himself, just watching her keep stuffing things into her mouth, and she was already hungry.
"In the future, Xiao Mu will pretend to be a boy, ......okay?
"Why?" she looked up at her grandfather, who was a girl, not a boy.
"Because your cousins like to play with boys!" said her grandfather, smiling kindly at her and touching her head.
She swallowed the cake in her mouth and said "yes!"
"It's a secret that the two of us knew...... Can't tell anyone!"
"Hmm!" Xiao Mu smiled and nodded heavily.
Later she really lived like a boy, but ...... Cousin cousin still doesn't like to play with herself. They only dislike her, and their eyes are full of mockery and disdain.
"I heard my mother say that he is a mongrel, and his mother ran away with others to give birth to a mongrel outside! a big mongrel who doesn't even know who his father is! Lose the face of our Nangong family!" Xiao Nangong Ying looked at her and shouted to the child next to her.
"You don't talk nonsense...... I ......" she wanted to defend herself, saying that she was not a mongrel, but she didn't even know her own parents......
"Big Hybrid ......"
"Big bastard!"
The other children shouted along, and as they picked up the stones from the ground and threw them at her, she raised her hand to cover her head and began to cry. At this moment, Nangong Zheng suddenly ran out from behind the flowers and shouted at the children who beat her, "What are you doing?"
"He's a big bastard! He doesn't have a father!"
"Don't talk nonsense, his father and mother just went to a far away place!" Nangong Wen defended her.
The crowd thought it wasn't fun and quickly ran away. Xiao Nangong Wen sat down and looked at her, "Don't be afraid, I don't have a mother, my mother will die if she is born...... You can play with me in the future!"
"Hmm!" she sniffed and nodded heavily.
Later, when she grew up, she had a spiritual power test when she was eight years old, and she did not show any spiritual power. When my grandfather found out, his face was full of surprise, and then, he sighed deeply, shook his head and walked away. Just because she didn't have the spiritual power that the Nangong family was proud of, she couldn't learn the Taoism of the Nangong family, so she was looked down upon. Later, even Nangong Wen stopped playing with her and joined the ranks of those who bullied her...... They all believed that Nangong Mu, who had no spiritual power, was a shame for the Nangong family.
Later, Nalan Qianyu appeared, she was a foreign girl who came to Nangong's house because her family was destroyed. In the first two years, he never showed up because of his ill health.
Nalan Qianyu also has no spiritual power, but he is beautiful, and as soon as he appears, he is welcomed by everyone in the family. However, she likes to mix with Nangong Mu, who has no spiritual power. And then...... Nalan Qianyu became her only friend!
If there is anyone in this world who is good to Nangong Mu, Nalan Qianyu is the second, and no one dares to say the first. Gradually, she and Nalan Qianyu were wandering around and playing, others were practicing swords, and they were hunting. Nangong Family ...... It's just a place where she grew up. As the head of the family, my grandfather didn't have time to take care of her many times, and my aunt just made a show to keep her fed and clothed.
Later, Nangong Mu knew that her mother's name was Nangong Zixuan, and she was her grandfather's youngest daughter. Because he didn't marry the head of the Baili family according to his grandfather's arrangement, he broke with his grandfather and ran away with his lover, and he ran away for a few years. It's just that there is not a single bit of her memory about her mother. After thinking about it many times without success, it was delayed again and again.
She decided to wait for her to be in her old age, and then go to a sect with no spiritual power to learn swordsmanship, and then fight the sword world, never to come back.

"What do you want?
"It's nothing! just think of some past events......" Nangong Mu said lightly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a wry smile. Her grandfather gave her the surname Nangong, but ...... She's just a mortal.
"In a short time, Nangong Yuan will return from Huiji Mountain...... With him, you can rest assured at home, no one will bully you!" Nanchuan Ruoshui said without a trace as if she could see through her thoughts.
"Heh......" Nangong Mu chuckled, revealing a look of disdain, "I Nangong Mu don't need to rely on anyone!"
Nanchuan Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, then curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes wandered to Nangong Mu, and after a while, he slowly spit out a few words, "You...... I really can't tell it's a woman......"
“......”
