Chapter 146: Exploring the Origins
Ah Man checked it, and it was a Ruyi lock pendant made of gold.
One side of this Ruyi lock pendant is engraved with the word "Yue".
The word "Yue" happened to be taught by the Blue Wolf King some time ago. Therefore, Ah Man muttered: "Yue." Nanyue? ”
This kind of Ruyi lock pendant has been seen by Aman in the village under the mountain before. It is a gift prepared by the people of Xiyi for newborn children.
However, most of the people in the village are poor. The Ruyi lock pendants they wore were not as expensive as those held in Ah Man's hands.
In the past, Cuiliu and Huang Ying would often take out the Ruyi lock pendant they had worn since childhood to show off in front of Aman.
Their Ruyi lock pendant is small and copper. Rao is like this, and the young Aman at that time is still envious.
However, Aman has no parents. No one will prepare a Ruyi lock pendant for her.
At this moment, Ah Man took the gold Ruyi lock pendant in his hand and looked at the skeleton containing the Ruyi lock pendant again.
Looking at its skeleton, it is visually that it is the skeleton of a middle-aged man. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the bone of his left arm had been broken. Elsewhere in the bones, there are also scars of varying degrees.
If the deceased had not been abused with a knife during his lifetime, then this must have been the bones of a man who had been in battle during his lifetime.
Could this be her father? Could this wishful lock be a wishful lock specially created for her by her father? Is her real name Nanyue? This is the name her father gave her?
To have such a ruyi lock made of gold, this person should be noble and the master of the Nan family, right?
However, no one has ever told Ah Man that she is the daughter of this Nanjia Mansion. Perhaps, her mother was just a handmaiden.
However, why did this person swallow this wishful lock before his death?
Isn't it the Xiyi army that raided the family and exterminated the clan, in order to keep this wishful lock, and also to protect his reputation, so he swallowed gold and committed suicide?
However, all this is just Ah Man's speculation. The exact truth is unknown.
After reburying the bones, Ah Man held this wishful lock and planned to go to the village under the mountain to ask.
The people in the village under the mountain are very close to this mass grave. People come and go all day long, and those folks will know a little bit about what happened back then.
After all, it is not a trivial matter that hundreds of people have been exterminated by their homes.
Aman wanted to ask why the Nan family was wiped out back then, and who his parents were.
In this way, Aman rode the wolf dog Xiaozhan all the way to the village under the mountain.
Ah Man's hand clutched the Ruyi lock pendant tightly.
This wishful lock pendant looks very intimate. Ah Man was a little in love.
While running, when Ah Man flipped the Ruyi lock to the other side to check, he suddenly found that the other side of the Ruyi lock was actually engraved with the totem of the wolf!
Ah Man looked at his mount Xiao Zhan, and then compared the totem above.
The wolf on the totem is like a wolf in the mountains.
With Aman's understanding of the wolf of Cangshan, she would not be wrong.
The blue wolf country is not popular with totems, and the popular blue wolf totems are the Ashina people.
This totem, Ah Man has seen it on the jewelry of Wusun Blue Jade.
However, Wusun Lanyu is not from Xiyi, and her jewelry is not a longevity lock. Rather, it's a bracelet.
Ah Man rode Xiao Zhan all the way, and turned all the way to look at the small hill where the mass grave was located.
The evergreen tree on the hill is particularly bleak under the moonlight.
Ah Man groaned:
"The wolf of Cangshan, the holy daughter of the Ashina family......
The Nan family, will it really be related to the Ashina family? ”
With questions, Aman came to the village at the bottom of the mountain.
The road leading from the mass grave to the village under the mountain will definitely pass by Uncle Liu and Shugen's home.
But I don't know what happened to the villagers Uncle Liu and the tree roots.
When Uncle Liu saw her, would he still stammered to her with stunned eyes: "Little barbarian, you ...... You...... You...... Be careful, you don't have to pounce on people, so ...... So what to do? ”
Thinking of this, Ah Man couldn't help but laugh.
And the roots, she hadn't seen them for a long time. The man who was as warm as water.
Once, Aman also wanted to grow up quickly and become the daughter-in-law of the roots. Lived in a clean and tidy house at the root of the tree.
Now Aman has grown up. Pity......
Blame the abominable Blue Wolf King!
When he came to Uncle Liu's house again, Uncle Liu was still sitting in front of his house smoking dry cigarettes.
The vicissitudes of life, but Uncle Liu has not changed.
Ah Man rubbed his slightly dry eyes. There seemed to be a little moisture in her eyes.
And Uncle Liu saw Ah Man, even if Ah Man was riding a blue wolf, he was still unfazed.
Because Aman has refreshed the limits of what he can accept since he was a child.
Uncle Liu shouted to Ah Man while holding a dry cigarette:
"Yo, little barbarian girl, I haven't seen you for a while, you've grown so big. Riding a tall horse, are you coming back to find Xiang Gongsa? ”
Ah Man patted Xiao Zhan's head, calmed Xiao Zhan, and then said to Uncle Liu with a smile:
"Uncle Liu, I'm back. I want to get to know my parents, I want to get to know the Nan family. ”
Unexpectedly, Uncle Liu, who had always been light and light, actually hurriedly extinguished the drought and stood up at this moment.
Uncle Liu walked home, and said to Aman:
"Ho, little barbarian girl, I haven't seen you for a while, and I've become sharp-tongued and can talk a lot. You go on, go on and say ha. Uncle, I went home. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Uncle Liu close the chai door with a "bang".
How could an ordinary family in the village under the mountain close so early?
This Uncle Liu is clearly avoiding her!
Uncle Liu was afraid that she would ask him about the Nan family, right?
Even Uncle Liu reacted like this, and this matter is a big deal.
The affairs of the Nan family must be hidden with unspeakable secrets!
The more this is the case, the more Aman wants to find out!
Uncle Liu didn't open the door, so Ah Man decided to take two steps forward to find the tree root next door.
The roots of the tree are not chopping wood outside the door today?
With a nervous mood, Ah Man knocked on the door of Shugen's house.
However, even the roots of the tree, knocking around, no one opened the door.
At this time, Cuiliu's father, the drunken Uncle Zhang, passed by.
He took the wine bottle, burped, drunkenly rubbed his eyes and said to Aman:
"Huh? Isn't this a wild girl from a mass grave on the mountain? No need to knock. Don't you know there's no one in this room anymore? ”
"No one? What about tree roots? Where is Brother Tree Root? Aman asked.
Uncle Zhang hiccuped again, and then laughed:
"What are the roots? They were all deceived by him. That young man didn't look like a person from our village. People are protons. Did you know that it's proton? ”
"Proton?" Ah Man asked again: "What proton?" ”
Uncle Zhang put down the wine bottle, patted his thigh and said:
"Don't you know proton?
It's a hostage! It was sent by the Northern Desert Kingdom to our Xiyi Kingdom as a hostage!
It seems to be someone from the royal family of the Northern Desert, whose real name is ...... What is Murong Chenyi's called?
That's right, it's called Murong Chenyi.
The name is so awkward that it is to death. Hey, just bullied me for drinking and can't remember. ”
A Manhu said suspiciously:
"If he were a proton, shouldn't he be in the palace? Why did you run out and work as a woodcutter in our village? ”
"Get out of here! Don't you know that when the woodcutter hides people's eyes?
Hi! You're drunk more drunk than I am. Even I know you don't.
What a great location this house is. At the entrance of the village, you can clearly see those officers and soldiers going up and down the mountain, in and out. ”
Uncle Zhang took another big sip of wine.
However, Aman was not confused by Uncle Zhang. She looked at the geography.
As Uncle Zhang said, the roots of the tree do have another purpose for living here.
This is the suburbs of the capital of Xiyi Kingdom. The road at the entrance of the village is the only way up the mountain and out of the city.
Shugen's home is at the entrance of the village, but it is not the first house. The first house was Uncle Liu's. The root of the tree is the second room.
Then those officers and soldiers who pass by, the first to bear the brunt of it, will not notice him.
It was clear that after the roots escaped, he deliberately disguised himself and had other plans to wander into this small village down the mountain.
Because he took the opportunity of chopping wood to observe the situation all the time, and then waited for the opportunity to move.
Or maybe he was planning to go back to his northern desert. Or maybe he is also eyeing the Xiyi Kingdom. And then planning something bigger.
No wonder Ah Man often saw the roots of the tree absent-mindedly before.
It turned out that he was not a fish in the pond in this village, he was a dragon among the people of the Northern Desert.
Leaving aside the matter of the tree roots, Ah Man remembered the purpose of his trip.
Back then, it was Cuiliu's mother, that is, Uncle Zhang's wife, Aunt Zhang, who passed by the mass grave to cut the umbilical cord for Aman.
It stands to reason that Uncle Zhang also knows Aman's life experience clearly.
So, Ah Man hurriedly asked:
"Uncle Zhang, I want to know my life experience, I want to ask, who are my parents, and why was the Nan family exterminated?"
Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhang was directly stunned.
He burped heavily, then turned a deaf ear to Aman's words.
Uncle Zhang actually went crazy with alcohol, hummed a ballad, and left as if nothing happened.
Uncle Zhang walked for a while. Ah Man looked at his back and shouted to him again.
Ah Man said to Uncle Zhang: "Cuiliu is gone, do you know? ”
Uncle Zhang paused as Aman expected.
However, he did not look back, but just stood in place, pretending not to care, and said:
"Cuiliu...... Cuiliu is not there...... Hah, I know. She was exchanged for wine by me. Hahahaha, it's a loss, it's good to be able to drink two sips of wine. That's a loss. ”
Ah Man looked at Uncle Zhang intently, and then she told him again with a little heaviness: "I said, Cuiliu is gone." She's dead. ”
Uncle Zhang wanted to continue humming the ballad and go home, but when he heard that he had been electrocuted, he stood on the spot.
Uncle Zhang didn't go crazy anymore, he just stood there, his head bowed, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
After a while, Uncle Zhang muttered, "When did you die?" ”
Aman replied, "Not long ago. In the western town of the Blue Wolf Country. For an unworthy man. ”
Uncle Zhang laughed, and when he laughed, he cried.
Uncle Zhang wiped a handful of tears and said:
"Who told her to see people without her eyes? In that kind of place, I still pay sincerely. You deserve to die! ”
