Chapter 9 The Past Is Empty
Li Chang and Jiang Zhenyuan were both surprised, and Ming Chu, who was playing the flute, heard this shout, and he was also confused.
"Bearded, what are you yelling about?"
Li Chang didn't speak, his gaze wandering between Ming Chu and Wu Xuan. Wu Xuan strode into the courtyard, and Yuewu put down the bucket and walked over, standing under the plane tree. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he had climbed down from the tree.
"Dan ยท If, are you Danruo? โ
Wu Xuan's eyes were full of shock, and his outstretched hand trembled lightly in the air. Yuewu calmly examined Wu Xuan.
Ming Chu was a little overwhelmed, "Danruo? This uncle, you recognize the wrong person, I am not Danruo, my name is Ming Chu. โ
"The beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be so similar. No, no, no, you're not Danruo, Danruo is already dead. Wu Xuan staggered back.
He shook his head vigorously and sat down on the ground, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant.
"Chief, are you alright?" Li Chang stepped forward to ask.
"Bearded, you recognize the wrong person. What Danruo, her name is Ming Chu, and she is my sister Jiang Zhenyuan. Jiang Zhenyuan helped explain.
Wu Xuan's head hung deeply, Jiang Zhenyuan squatted down, and was surprised to find that Wu Xuan's face was full of tears.
"Hey, you're a hero of the steppe. How can you cry! โ
Ming Chu looked puzzled, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Who is Danruo? โ
Yun Xi and Mama, who were cooking, stood aside and watched when they heard the sound, and a trace of panic flashed in Mama's eyes.
After a long time, they heard Wu Xuan's extremely hoarse and affectionate voice: "Danruo, Princess Yue, is dead...... Fifteen years. โ
Thirty-one years ago, one midsummer night, Queen Yue gave birth to a baby girl, and suddenly the fragrance filled the room, and the wolves on the grassland howled.
The baby girl had a little red mole between her eyebrows, and she was born without crying and laughing, and was named Danruo. The chieftain, Wu Zhuo, had three sons and none daughters, and Danruo's arrival made him very happy.
At that time, we moon people dominated the grassland, and the Hu was subservient. Danruo has also become the most favored little princess on the grassland.
Dan Ruo loves to laugh, make trouble and sing, and is not at all delicate as a little girl, and loves to ride a horse; Drinking alcohol can knock down a group of people.
And when every silent steppe night comes, all can hear her singing; On the night when the moon was round and soft, she danced barefoot under the moon, and the little bell on her wrist jingled.
In the vast and lonely grassland, if there is a girl dancing in a red dress, beautiful and hazy, it must be Danruo, and the moon of the grassland is bright for her.
The wolves often follow the incense and lie affectionately at her side, and they never hurt her. Wolves are the natural enemies of the steppe people, they are cruel and greedy, and Danruo saved many people from under the wolf's mouth. โ
The bright moon is her lamp, and she is the dream of the grassland people.
The moon people have believed in gods since ancient times, and the little princess is endowed with abilities and is respected as a saint by the moon people.
Wu Zhuo and the queen, as well as her three brothers, loved her very much, and the little princess had been living a carefree life. Wu Zhuo loves the culture of the Central Plains and teaches his children to learn to write Chinese characters and speak Chinese from an early age.
Wu Zhuo hopes that there will be no more war with the Central Plains, no war, tea and horses between the two sides, peace will be maintained forever, and the people will not suffer from war.
The little princess loved beauty and liked the women's clothes of the Central Plains, and on her sixteenth birthday, Wu Zhuo promised to personally lead the people to exchange goods, and buy her the wide-sleeved acacia dress she had always wanted.
In the autumn of the ninth year of Chengxuan, Wu Zhuo led his people to step into Zhaoguan, and when he finished his work and was about to return, he was invited to drink by the officials in the city.
Wu Zhuo has always acted brightly, and he went to the banquet without thinking too much. Who knew that Zhao Mengliang, an official in the city, also colluded with the Qianren to kill Wu Zhuo, who was defenseless, and more than 100 people who were traveling with him were also slaughtered.
The Qiang people have long been ready to move, and they do not submit to the rule of the Moon People. also bribed Zhao Mengliang with a lot of money. Upon learning that Wu Zhuo had been killed, the Moon Man was filled with grief, like the loss of his father and brother.
At this time, the Qiang people began to attack, and the Yueren had been peaceful for a long time, their combat effectiveness weakened, and there were countless casualties. The little princess and the queen learned that Wu Zhuo was dead, and did not want to be subjected to the karma, so they committed suicide in the tent. The sudden fire turned their corpses to char.
Wu Xuan's voice became lower and lower, and his eyes gradually drifted. "I am Danruo's third brother, when I was out hunting, and when I came back, I only saw corpses all over the ground.
My relatives have all died in this slaughter, and I am the only one left alive, like a lonely ghost. โ
"The family is broken, the relatives are dead, and the people are scattered."
After Wu Xuan finished telling this story, the listeners were all sad. Yunxi had already begun to wipe her tears, and Mama cried the saddest. Only Li Chang and Yuewu's complexions remained unchanged.
Jiang Zhenyuan shouted: "This bastard Zhao Mengliang is angry with me, where is he?" I must teach him a good lesson! โ
Yuewu noticed that there was something wrong with Ming Chu's expression, "Miss, what's wrong?" โ
Ming Chu asked tentatively: "Uncle, did you say that the little princess Danruo has a little red mole on her eyebrows?" โ
"Hmm."
"My mother also has a little red mole between her eyebrows." Ming Chu frowned, wanting to clear his troubled thoughts.
Wu Xuan pounced over and grabbed Ming Chu's shoulder, "What did you say?" You repeat. โ
Yuewu frowned and stretched out her hand to block Wu Xuan.
Ming Chu's face was pale, and she felt that there was a string in her brain, and that string was tightening tighter and tighter.
She suddenly said, "I have a portrait of my mother." Ming Chu ran to Mama, "Mama, where did you collect it?" Go get it out. โ
Mama suddenly knelt on the ground, she was already in tears, "Miss, you don't need to take the portrait." Your mother is Danruo, and she is the little princess of the Yue family. She doesn't let me tell you, just so that you can have a peaceful life, she doesn't want you to know those things in the past, she just wants you to grow up happily. โ
There was a "snap", and the string broke.
Jiang Zhenyuan jumped up, "What are you doing?" That's too far. Singer became a princess? This is ridiculous. Li Chang made a look at him and motioned for him to be quiet.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, she squatted down little by little, and she looked directly at Mama, "But, Mama, isn't the mother's name Yiliu?" โ
"What! Danruo, is Danruo still alive, where is she? "My Xuan woke up from a great dream and jumped up from the ground.
His eyes were round, and his eyes, which were rare with tears, were now full of excitement and eagerness. Without waiting for an answer, he strode into the rooms and began to search frantically.
Yun Xi, who was standing at the door, was almost knocked down by him. "What's going on?" Yun Xi was also confused, and kept pinching the tablecloth in his hand.
Ming Chu held Mama's hand, watched Wu Xuan go in and out of various rooms, and shouted loudly, "Danruo", her nose was sour, "Mama, are you okay with telling me everything?" โ
Li Chang, who had not spoken, spoke: "If you want to know the cause and effect, I think it's best to ask the prince." โ
