Chapter 33: Natsuhime 2

Zheng Mugong, who had already had a large number of children, had no interest or pity for this little baby, and he agreed to the wizard's plan to drown her almost without much hesitation.

The eunuchs had already brought the barrel, which was filled with a dark potion with a charm on it, and the wizards, fearing that they would not be able to hide it, repeated it until the little baby was almost crying, and then a wizard lifted her up and threw her into the basin.

However, just as Zheng Mugong was about to issue an execution order, an illusion suddenly appeared in front of him, and a terrifying giant python flashed.

He fell to the ground in fright, got up, trembling to give the order again, and the python reappeared.

Strangely, he was the only one who could see the python, and the wizards couldn't see it.

Zheng Mugong was deeply frightened, so he gave up believing the sorcerer's words, and just threw the little baby to the most remote corner of the deer park and left it to fend for itself.

After that, Zheng Mugong never looked at her again, and only sent someone to give her a single name "Ji".

Her biological mother came from the glorious Great Xia thousands of years ago, so people called her Xia Ji.

Since then, she has lived alone in a corner of the deer park, accompanied by only an elderly palace maid.

The deer park has high walls, mossy roof tiles, overgrown weeds and trees, snakes and rats are rampant, and the head has to be raised very high to see the sky outside.

Gradually, people completely forgot about this small corner. The deer park has become a forbidden place for all outsiders.

A wooden door separates Natsuhime from the bustling palace, and only the old maid occasionally goes out, making a creaking sound when she turns the wooden door.

Little Natsuhime gradually grew to five years old.

Unlike other lively children, she always sat cross-legged under the largest peach tree and looked up at the blue sky, and even when the wooden door was open, she rarely went out. She didn't care at all what the outside world was like.

The world here is so quiet, but so gorgeous, she can hear the crickets, the song of the yellow warbler, the murmur of the autumn insects, and even the small joy of the ants as they move......

Sometimes, gray rats swaggered past her with long beards. She just looked at them curiously, and they never came to attack her.

She is immersed in a small world and enjoys herself.

It was a cloudy spring afternoon, and the little girl sat alone on a cleanly washed bluestone slab to look at a rose that had secretly bloomed in the corner.

She watched with relish as the flowers burst from their bones, and in an instant, the branches of the flowers spread and their fragrance overflowed.

At that moment, she heard the wooden door creak open. She thought it was the old palace maid, so she called "Mom" softly, but she didn't hear a response.

The footsteps grew louder and louder, thump, playful and quirky, and she looked up and saw a little boy climbing down from the fence with great agility, holding a beautiful kite in his hand.

Looking at each other, the little boy suddenly held his breath, remembering the newborn sika deer he saw when his father took him to hunt for the first time. Her eyes were so bright, so black, her eyelashes were so long, so soft, and Yuxue's cute little face was flushed all over and shining.

He strode over curiously and said aloud, "Who are you?"

"I'm Natsuhime. ”

She didn't ask who he was, just looked curiously at the kite in his hand, which was a beautiful eagle-shaped kite, colorful and lifelike.
