Chapter 4: The Fall of the Chu Nation
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he had been guarding the ancestral hall of the Chu clan for many years, and he knew very well who he was asking, so he remembered that he ran back alone like this, which was actually a big disaster.
More frightened than just escaping death, his body couldn't stop shaking, and he stumbled: "I don't know." ”
"Rubbish!" The head of the Jade family kicked the person hard and walked out.
As a priest of the Chu tribe, but he does not believe in the mandate of heaven, what should he do?
No one had ever told Chu Yue the answer.
The priests of the Chu tribe are all chosen by heaven, as for what is the chosen one? That is, a girl who is destined for heaven.
And the person with the most natural fate will be the high priest of the Chu clan.
The priests of the Chu tribe were all taught by the respected priests in the clan, and the seniors who taught her once said that she was "born against the bones, if you don't change, you will be in trouble." ”
Who knew that it would become a poke later!
Chu Yue remembered that the day she first saw Yu Mingzhe, it was the first time she left the Chu clan.
The outside world is so beautiful! Even the types of flowers are more than those of the Chu people.
Most of the flowers you see in the ancestral hall are ginger flowers, although the flowers are purple, white, yellow, and pink, but they are still the same kind back and forth.
It would be nice if the priests could also leave the Chu tribe at will......
Then she can always see the flowers outside.
Chu Yue admired the blooming pear blossoms over and over again, and sighed. Suddenly, she heard movement in the tree next to her. Chu Yue looked up and found a person......
Fell from a tree.
Chu Yue looked at him in a daze, and didn't react for a while, but the other party stood up from the ground and patted the dirt on his body: "I accidentally disturbed the girl, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”
"What are you doing in the trees?" Chu Yue said curiously.
"I'm looking at the scenery from the trees."
It's a strange hobby to look at the scenery from the trees: "Can't you see it on the ground now?" "It's a peaceful place, and there's nothing to stop it.
"How can it be the same on the ground as it is on the trees?"
"What's the difference?" Chu Yue was puzzled.
"Naturally, it's different." Yu Mingzhe grabbed Chu Yue's waist, jumped over, and stood on the tree with Chu Yue's question: "Girl, look, from a high perspective, even if you see the same scenery, your mood is different. ”
Chu Yue looked at Yu Mingzhe in a daze, she would always remember this scene for many years to come, and this scene would be slightly moved when she thought about it in the future.
The priests of the Chu clan cannot leave the Chu clan at will, and the reason why Chu Yue was able to come out of the Chu clan this time was naturally because he had important things to do. When the matter was done, Chu Yue naturally wanted to return to the Chu clan.
But the road to the Hui was very bumpy, when she was injured, her money bag was stolen, and she was kicked out by the innkeeper.
It was pouring rain that night, and she was curled up under the eaves alone, and most of her body was drenched.
Yu Mingzhe put an umbrella on her head at that time, and the lights in the distance that night did not allow her to see what kind of mentality Yu Mingzhe had to give her an umbrella.
But that didn't stop her from being moved at that time.
Later, she learned that these several encounters she thought were God-given fate were actually planned by people.
Where in the world did there come from so many chance encounters?
The money bag was stolen by Yu Mingzhe, and he arranged it for him to be kicked out of the inn by the boss, for the heroic beauty drama of that day.
After Chu Yue returned to the Chu tribe, because he had seen the prosperity outside, he felt a little uncomfortable when he lived the life of the Chu tribe again.
But as a priest, even if you have not yet taken up the burden of a priest, the opportunity to leave the clan is very rare.
What's more, the schoolwork is very heavy.
Chu Yue thought that he would never see Yu Mingzhe again in this life, but the reason why the evil fate can become a bad fate is probably a certain providence in it.
When Chu Yue saw Yu Mingzhe again, it was within the Chu clan. At that time, she had just angered the priest who was in charge of raising her, and was punished to serve Jiang Hehua in the Chu clan.
Jiang Hehua is the favorite of the Chu people, and naturally it is not only in the ancestral hall.
At that time, Chu Yue was watering Jiang Hehua on the side of the path, and when he looked up, he saw Yu Mingzhe who followed the clansmen in. When Yu Mingzhe saw her, he was obviously stunned, with the ecstasy of the old man meeting: "I knew that the girl's surname was Chu, but I didn't expect the girl to be from the Chu tribe." ”
Yu Mingzhe stayed in the Chu tribe for most of the day, and when he was leaving, he found her: "I didn't know that the girl was here, and I didn't prepare a gift for the girl." I wonder if the girl's injuries are healed? ”
This is the first time since Chu Yue came back that someone has asked her how her injuries are. Although the priests of the Chu nationality are noble, they are not as noble as the high priests after all.
What's more, as a priest, he was born for the Chu people. For the sake of the Chu people to be slightly injured, who will take it to heart?
However, the young man in front of him, who was not from the Chu nationality, told Chu Yue clearly with his actions.
He took it to heart!
"Thank you for your concern, it's already good."
Yu Mingzhe took out a wooden bird from his arms and handed it to Chu Yue: "I didn't know that the girl was here, and I didn't prepare a thin gift." This is a child for me, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and it is good for the girl to keep it to relieve boredom. ”
Chu Yue took it, touched it, and found that the wooden bird turned out to be moving. Chu Yue looked at the wooden bird with its wings fluttering and its beak closed, and said in surprise: "It can actually move." ”
Yu Mingzhe looked at Chu Yue, who was very happy, and said with a smile: "This is made by a carpenter who knows how to do it outside, as long as the girl likes it." ”
"I like it." Chu Yue nodded heavily and smiled.
Later, Chu Yue learned that Yu Mingzhe came to ask to marry a Chu girl.
It was then that she learned Yu Mingzhe's true identity.
The son of the Yu family, his mother is unkind, his biological father does not ask, and his life is very difficult.
Although the Chu people occasionally marry, they will not marry a woman married by the Chu people to a concubine in any case.
What's more, at that time, the Yu family was just a small family.
Compared with the Chu people, the difference between cloud and mud!
Elopement is probably the most outrageous thing Chu Yue has done in his life.
She still remembered that when she followed Yu Mingzhe to leave the Chu clan, her master chased out the Chu clan: "Chu Yue, come back!" ”
Her master was always stern, and when his emotions were rarely exposed, his eyes were red at that time, and he shouted over and over again: "Chu Yue, come back!" ”
One voice is faster than the other.
She later remembered that she didn't know why she was so hard-hearted at that time that she followed Yu Mingzhe without hesitation.
In the shouts of the master, he never looked back.
Probably because the bustling world outside is too attractive to her......
Probably reluctant to make the man who had given her a wooden bird sad......
Chu Yue's marriage to Yu Mingzhe changed Yu Mingzhe's situation in a sense.
He is no longer the dispensable concubine of the Yu family.
After all, he married a girl from the Chu clan, although he was not a descendant, but he was also a very noble priest in the Chu clan.
Chu Yue and Yu Mingzhe also lived a very happy life between them, but after all, reality is not a playbook.
Chu Yue's elopement has brought a very bad impact on the Chu people, and the reputation of a woman is so important that it is almost to the point where reputation is more important than life.
Although the Chu people rarely have anything to do with foreign people, the marriage in the family is still not exempt from vulgarity.
In order to save the reputation of the Chu woman, and to find a fig leaf for the Chu family and the Yu family, he only declared to those in the know that Chu Yue, the priest of the Chu family, and Yu Mingzhe, the son of the Yu family, were acquiesced by the elders of both sides.
Externally, it was not hyped up.
The priests of the Chu tribe, if there is no accident, cannot leave the Chu tribe without authorization.
Therefore, soon after marriage, Chu Yue and Yu Mingzhe moved back to the Chu tribe to live.
It's just that because of elopement, Chu Yue's status in the Chu clan plummeted.
The two of them did not have an easy time.
When the Chu clan had an accident, Chu Yue was already pregnant. Since Chu Yue returned to the Chu clan, he has been deprived of all privileges, leaving only the name of a priest.
Therefore, little is known about the major affairs of the Chu people.
She only remembered that when Yu Mingzhe took her to escape from the Chu tribe, the scene was very chaotic, and she never thought that the Chu tribe would be attacked by a group of people.
After Chu Yue was brought to the Yu family by Yu Mingzhe, Chu Yue, whose mind was blank along the way, remembered the responsibilities of the priest and remembered the cultivation of her by the Chu clan for so many years.
She struggled to go out, wanting to return to the Chu tribe, advance and retreat with the Chu tribe, and was hugged into her arms by Yu Mingzhe: "If you go now, you will be sent to death." ”
Yu Mingzhe comforted Chu Yue, who was obviously very excited: "I'll go!" I'll go to the Chu tribe, you obediently sleep here, don't think about anything. ”
Chu Yue tightly tugged at Yu Mingzhe's sleeve, like grasping a life-saving straw when drowning: "Chu clan...... Chu ......"
"It will pass." Yu Mingzhe looked at Chu Yue, whose tears kept falling, and his eyes were red. patted Chu Yue on the back, put her to sleep, dyed the room with incense to help sleep, arranged everything, and set out on the road to the Chu tribe.
When Chu Yue woke up again, it would be three days later. Chu Yue opened his eyes with difficulty, feeling weak, as if he was seriously ill. She looked at Yu Mingzhe, who was napping beside her bed, and it took a lot of effort to speak, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"The doctor said that you had too many emotional ups and downs, and you had a tire gas. Do you feel better now? Yu Mingzhe helped her up as he spoke, and fed Chu Yue the medicine that had been warm on the side.
After Chu Yue's strength gradually recovered: "What happened to the Chu clan?" ”
She saw Yu Mingzhe's hand holding the bowl paused, and looked left at him in a casual tone: "You just drank the medicine, can you sleep for a while?" ”
Chu Yue immediately had a bad premonition, grabbed his hand and said, "Is the Chu clan okay?" ”
Yu Mingzhe looked at Chu Yue, who would not give up until he reached his goal, sighed, looked into her eyes and said, "Yueyue, I said, you must not be excited." ”
"There is no Chu in this world anymore."
Chu Yue's mind went blank, and she felt that she didn't seem to understand what Yu Mingzhe said.
There is no Chu in this world anymore, what does this mean?
Is that what she understands?
Chu Yue looked at Yu Mingzhe in disbelief: "What are you talking about?" ”
When Yu Mingzhe grabbed her shoulder, he found that the lady he was marrying had become weak, and there was no blood on his face, only the hand that grabbed his arm tightly, and his strength was amazing.
Yu Mingzhe said with great difficulty: "The Chu clan has been destroyed. ”
