Origins Chapter 10 Southern Queens (1)
γNanze / Purple Moon Department / Before the Birthday Banquetγ
Ziyang walks on the rugged and bumpy mountain path of Nanzawa, a road that cannot be called a road.
This mountain is steep and steep, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, but there is no shortage of rare herbs in the mountain.
Since Ziyang was eight years old, he carried a one-person-high bamboo basket on his back and went deep into the mountains and forests with his father to collect medicine. The Purple Moon Department sent out the witch doctor, and it was the responsibility of the men in the tribe to bring back the herbs that made the witch medicine that day.
With a large blue basket on his shoulder, and a basket full of herbs, he once again descended peacefully down the hill to see the gate of the tribe in the distance.
Outside the clan gate, several elaborate carriages were parked.
The car is prominently printed with the family crest of the Red Lotus Viper.
The red lotus viper is the family crest of the Nanze Ling family, the red lotus gives the poisonous snake aura to practice, and the poisonous snake gives the red lotus carrion corpse to nourish.
Ziyang was stunned for a moment, he had often heard rumors about the Red Lotus Viper recently, and it was said that the family emblem was the spirit of the Red Lotus Viper, and the family had a new owner. And as soon as this new master succeeded to the throne, he extended his hand to the tribes of Nanze.
Ziyang is located in the Purple Moon Department, and the family is a witch doctor who heals and saves people. I thought that such a family that had no quarrel with the world and was honest would not be targeted by poisonous snakes, but I didn't expect that the Purple Moon Department would finally have a day.
Ziyang's heart was mixed, and he understood how wary and hostile the elders of the family were when they saw the Red Lotus Viper. The 100 tribes of Nanze are all autonomous, although the Nanze Ling family leads the 100 tribes of Nanze, but the Ling family has never particularly interfered in the affairs of the 100 departments, which is a long-standing tradition of Nanze.
The family crest of the Red Lotus Viper has not appeared so frequently on the territory of Nanze Baibu for a long time.
"Yang'er is back!" a middle-aged woman stood outside the house, looking like she had been standing for a long time.
She saw Ziyang coming with a heavy bamboo basket on his back, and hurriedly came over to remove it from his back for him.
"Go and wipe your face. The woman said to him.
"Mother, what are the Ling family doing here?" Ziyang asked pretending to be nonchalant.
"What else can it do! Spire! Can this kind of thing be built by that demon girl? The three elder women are already mad and cursing inside. This thing is used to spy on us, who wants to live under the noses of others!" Ziyang's mother said hatefully, glancing at the attic where the elders of Ziyue were meeting.
It was a very special attic, why? Because on all sides of the attic there were rags that looked like tattered rags, and on closer inspection, it turned out to be a string of dried corpses.
Ziyang's gaze sank, and just as he was about to say something, he realized that there was an unknown woman in the family. The woman sat in the room, as if talking to his sister Zilin.
Ziyang Jiejie was taken aback, you must know that the hundred tribes of Nanze are all afraid of outsiders, and this is even more true of a closed tribe like the Ziyue Ministry.
And now there is a woman in his home, which surprises Ziyang and makes him more vigilant.
"You send this pot of water to the girl, and it is enough to think that a girl who is delicate enough to pinch out the water will come to our strangely hot place where there are many mosquitoes and go to her relatives. As she spoke, her mother stuffed a large pot of water into Ziyang's arms and pushed him.
Ziyang wanted to ask more, but her mother went to do other things and left him alone.
Ziyang had no choice but to hold the kettle and walk towards the woman.
If this is some kind of bad plan, I can't sit idly by!" he said to himself.
But when he saw the handsome woman with black hair and white skin, the vigilance in his heart was gone.
The woman was in harmony with her sister, who had always had a bad temper. When he walked in, the woman was describing interesting things about the East China Sea with his sister Zilin.
It turned out to be a woman from the East China Sea, no wonder she looks so delicate and smart.
When the woman saw him walk in, she got up and smiled apologetically at him, and her slightly thin body leaned forward: "I'm really sorry, but I have to trouble the little brother to send me in." β
"Ahh For some reason, Ziyang, who had originally planned to test the woman's bottom line, instantly blushed and her heart pounded.
"Yes, let my brother run errands for you!" Zilin, the younger sister who has always protected her short, crossed her hands on her hips and glared at Ziyang, as if her brother's arrival was a mistake for her to talk and chat with this gentle sister of the East China Sea.
The woman took the water handed by Ziyang, put it on the pink cherry lips and drank it in small sips.
"The first time I came to Nanze, I didn't know the way, the carriage wandered around the forest for several days, the water was drunk, and I got the heat again. I'm glad I met such a nice person as you. The woman spoke, and the delicate look on her face was distressing.
This is the delicate lady of a big family in the East China Sea.
"Girl, why did you come to Nanze recently?" Ziyang asked involuntarily.
"When I came to Nanze to join my relatives, my mother was unwell and my father was not at home all the year round, so I came to live with my relatives in Nanze for a while. The woman said this, paused, and said very naturally: "It's just that for some reason, Nanze has cards everywhere, and the uncle who drove the car also said that it wasn't like this before." β
Hearing this, Ziyang's eyes sank, for some reason, the woman in front of him gave him an extremely good impression, her frowns and frowns, they were all so pitiful, no one who had just met could give him such a feeling.
"Girl, Nanze is not peaceful now, if you can go back to the East China Sea, you can go back to the East China Sea to stay. Where could there be a safer place than the East China Sea Lady to sit down?" Ziyang said involuntarily, even he himself was quite surprised, why would he say this to a woman he had just met.
"Why hasn't Nan Ze been peaceful lately?" the woman rubbed the kettle with her hand, still with a quiet smile on her face that was a little fragile, "I heard that Nan Ze has newly appointed a resolute female lord, and she put down Nan Ze's rebellion after being called Nan Hou, so my mother let me come here." β
"It's this Lady Lord. After she sat on the throne of the lord, she wanted to firmly pinch all parts of Nanze......" Ziyang hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Actually, she is not wrong...... No, she's just a female devil! There were a few stunned people in our clan who said a few words for Nanhou, and they were hung in the attic by the elders and women, and they were dried alive. β
With that, Ziyang's gaze glanced through the window to the tallest attic. The woman also glanced at the attic where there were a few things floating around, which looked like a rag at a cursory glance, but on closer inspection, it was actually a dried human body.
Nanze is humid and stuffy, the corpse can be air-dried into a dry corpse, and you don't have to think about it to know how painful your hands and feet were when you were passive. The punishment of Xing in Nanze and the Western Regions was more cruel in the Quartet, and the woman's face seemed to be a little paler because it was the first time she saw it.
But this gentle woman immediately adjusted her mood, took a step forward towards Ziyang, and put her hand on the boy's shoulder, her voice was very soft, but her eyes were very firm: "Don't be afraid, I'm not an elder woman." β
Ziyang looked at such a pair of eyes and felt a surge of heat in his heart.
He felt that this Nan Ze, only this woman could understand him, understand his thoughts, and even be willing to listen to his child's shallow remarks.
Then he said everything he wanted to say in one breath: "Actually, I don't think that Nanhou is as heinous as the elders and women say. She wanted to build a minaret, maybe just, just to protect the peace of Nanze. I vaguely heard people say that there seems to be something, something that seems to be on the border of Nanze, and that the minaret is there to deal with it.
"Our Purple Moon tribe has witch doctors, because the mountains and forests are steep, and only men in the tribe can go out to collect medicine, I followed my father into the mountains to collect medicine at the age of eight, and my father fell into the mountain stream in front of me when I was twelve years old, and the body could not be found.
Then, when the family went out to collect medicine, it fell on me, who was 12 years old. Every time I went into the mountains before dawn, my mother and sister were worried and afraid, and they were afraid that I would not be able to come back.
"Miss, do you know, Nanhou not only wants to build a minaret to protect us, but also wants to build a road on this mountain for us.
"It's just that my clansmen, especially the elders and grandmothers, have stayed in the Purple Moon Department all their lives, and they don't have any contact with other tribes outside at all, and they are not happy when they hear about the road construction, it seems that after the traffic of the various departments, I am afraid that the Purple Moon Tribe, which has always been simple, will not be pure. When I heard about the spire, I even thought it was something used to slaughter our Purple Moon Division. β
After the woman listened to him quietly, she asked softly, "What you said, can anyone in the clan understand?"
The boy hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully and shook his head. A look of nonchalance. But his eyes betrayed him, and he could see that he still cared.
The woman patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Don't care too much about what others think. Most people are not necessarily right. β
"Thank you. The woman looked at the sinking sky and said, "Thank you for taking me in, it's time for me to get on my way." β
"Big sister is leaving, don't you stay for the night!" Zi Lin, who had been listening to her brother and sister's conversation in the clouds, shouted.
"My sister is still in a hurry, so I won't leave to bother. The woman's tone was polite, but it inexplicably revealed an aura that could not be refused.
Zilin, who has always been keen on making trouble unreasonably, is unusually well-behaved, and she didn't stalk her sister to stay.
Ziyang sent the woman out, watching her get into the carriage unhurriedly, the woman turned around and smiled at him, waved her hand, and the figure was like an illusory ghost in the wind.
Ziyang looked extremely unreal.
Then the woman's carriage disappeared into the jungle of Nanzawa.
On the carriage, a girl dressed as a senior maid saw the woman get into the carriage and rubbed her sleepy eyes: "Miss, I've come back early this time, don't you want to explore for a while?"
As soon as Miss Azhao got into the carriage, her delicate aura dissipated, and the unique chill of the Northland woman returned to her body.
"It's going to start working over there, and if you don't leave, it's going to be troublesome. Miss Azhao sneered.
The carriage was traveling on the bumpy road in Nanze, and Ah Zhao lifted the curtain and looked at the attic from afar: "Just when I was about to leave, I felt blood coming from the attic. Three old spiritual powers disappeared. The Ling family began to directly kill Elder Ziyue, and it was definitely Nanhou who nodded. It seems that something that is not simple happened to Nan Ze, otherwise Nan Hou would not be so anxious to build the minaret. But I can't say, God knows what this Nanhou is thinking......"
Miss Azhao said, closing her eyes tiredly: "I have gained a lot from my trip to Nanze in the past few days. Tomorrow, I will go to Ling's house to meet that woman in person. β
What Miss Azhao didn't know was ββββ
After Ah Zhao left, Ziyang stood in place.
He looked at the carriage that Miss Azhao had left, and the crampedness and innocence on his face dissipated.
His gaze was deadly silent, and he couldn't see his emotions: "After telling Nanhou, the Purple Moon Department is no longer a problem." Also, Miss Azhao went to the Lingjia Palace. β
