Chapter 51: Wu Yue

"The water mill is an important property of Wushan Miao Village, which was built by the monks of that year, and Wushan Miao Village has always coveted it, and most of the disputes provoked this time are for this mill and the fertile farmland that we have cultivated for generations. Wushan Miao Village has not paid attention to farming, and over the years, the food they produce can no longer support the operation of the village. The priest grabbed a handful of beaten rice, let it fall, and told the wood about the history of the mill and the origin of the dispute.

"Damn, what's the difference between this and banditry. ”

"They can't help it. The priest was much gentler.

"Is there no way to rob it?"

"This is not called robbery, but a consistent style, in Miao Village, the highest status of the person, can control the land and grain. ”

"But didn't you split up a long time ago, why did you still promise them to fight Gu?"

"I'll take you somewhere. The priest clapped his hands, and another man who looked exactly like the priest came out of the water mill.

"What's going on?!" Wood didn't quite understand, "How can there be two, you?" in front of him were two women dressed in the same way.

"I'm Cuicui, don't you know?"

"Uh...... I think I heard you mention that you were twins when I was in the old cemetery, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, because it really didn't look like it. For Cuicui, who has changed greatly, the wood feels that his head is going to explode, it turns out that Cuicui has been wearing makeup all the time and deliberately changed his face.

"What do you say?"

"I'm face-blind......" Wood couldn't tell the difference between faces.

"My sister wants to take you to Wushan for a walk, and I'll be a priest for her for the time being. Only in this way can my sister go out of the village to see the outside world, and our priests have not been able to leave the Miao village since childhood. Cuicui whispered in the wood's ear.

"Ancestral Xun again?"

"My sister didn't like to be a priest, but it was her fate, and the eldest daughter had to take responsibility, so she was confined to the stockade from an early age, and I was able to go out to school. My sister longs for freedom and has always wished that she was not the eldest daughter and could live unfettered like my younger sister. Wood finally understood why the two sisters' personalities were cheerful and gloomy.

"Let's go. The priest urged.

"Why don't you let Cuicui take me there? Your body doesn't need to rest?"

"I want to go out for a walk than to stay put, I'm tired of this stockade. The priest looked up at the cornice, and she had changed into her green clothes. Wood followed her down a rough mountain road, and there were many poisonous insects and snakes along the way, but as soon as the priest walked by, they fled in fear. Needless to ask, Wood understands that this path is probably only safe if the priest who knows Gu magic can lead it through himself.

"They're all afraid of my natal Gu," the priest explained to Mu Tou anyway, "Ordinary people can't get through, this barrier is the only barrier between the two Miao villages, so Cuicui can't bring you here." ”

"Do you have a name? I've always thought you're too serious, too serious to ask. ”

"There is no name, only the name of the priest, Wu Yue, and the elders all call me Yue'er. She looked up again at the crescent moon that had just risen.

"I don't have a name either. "The first time I met someone who didn't have a name like myself, there was a sour feeling in the bottom of the wood's heart, and I had it before, and it was when I was thinking about who my parents were, and it was very unpleasant. "So, Cuicui's name?"

"It was taken by Grandma, we don't have a father, and Grandma gave birth to us and died. ”

"I don't know who my parents are......" Mu wanted to say something to comfort Wu Yue, but it turned out to be worse than anyone......

"It's good to don't know if you don't know, maybe, you don't have to carry an unwanted fate. Wu Yue said coldly that her feelings did not fluctuate much.

"Don't have to carry your fate?" Mu repeated in a whisper, he didn't know that this sentence would also mean a lot to him.
