Chapter 196: Moon Pupil's Wish
Speaking of which, the witch situation of the Lahu people is also very miserable. When the dragon sparrow was still alive, they enjoyed a very high status as its spokesperson in the world, but after the fall of the dragon sparrow, they were reduced to the point where the inheritance was on the verge of being cut off.
It is precisely because of this that the Wu Xian family took the risk of drinking the water of the Han River.
Sure enough, the birth of Xiaoyue Tong made Wu Xian see hope. But the way this child came from was strange, and everything that happened after his birth was even more strange.
Although Shui Hao and the others were strange in their hearts, they did not disturb Wu Xian.
I only heard Wu Xian continue: "My son and daughter-in-law saw that the clansmen were fierce, so I took Xiaoyue Hitomi and left through the back door." I didn't want to, but I couldn't bear the bitter begging of the husband and wife, and my daughter-in-law was even more forced to die.
I had no choice but to leave through the back door with Xiao Yue. Can...... But when I walked to the mountain road and looked back at the village, the old house was already on fire, and the tribesmen saw that they could not enter, so they set fire to the house. ”
"What?" Shui Hao and everyone exclaimed at the same time. The people of the Lahu tribe were simply frenzied, and they were just guessing, so they killed them regardless of their kindred feelings.
Wu Xian's voice suddenly became terrible, and there were two dark lines of blood in his eyes, and the bonfire that had long been extinguished, with a 'poof', rose into a miserable white flame.
"That fire took the lives of my son and daughter-in-law and took everything from them. I will never forget the wails that came from afar, how sad and helpless they were. ”
Wu Xian looked up to the sky and roared, letting out a heart-rending scream. It was a howl of anger and sorrow from the deepest part of the chest, one after the other, doubly terrible, like a dying beast roaring to the heavens in agony and injustice.
The desolation soaked everyone's body, and everyone was wrapped in grief and couldn't move.
Big tears slid down Hu Youer's pretty face, rolled to the ground and shattered.
The desolate village, secluded and far away, seems to be someone sighing at the same time, for the scene thousands of years ago, but I don't know everything in the firelight, but does anyone still remember?
Wu Xian's back, as if bent by an invisible burden, was extremely desolate. She took a deep breath, looked to herself, and continued: "Hitomi and I hid in the dark, listening to the wailing of the husband and wife, watching the fire burn for a day and a night, and the bones of my son and daughter-in-law were gone.
Hitomi and I hugged and cried, and pulled her to kneel and kowtow in the direction of the old house. When Xiao Yuetong raised her head, she said that she saw her father and mother dressed in white, and their clothes were fluttering.
The moon pupil called out to her father and mother in a milky voice, until they turned into stars and disappeared into heaven and earth. ”
Shui Hao and the others only felt that their scalps were numb, they had never heard of someone actually seeing a dead soul.
"People have three souls and seven spirits, and the heavenly souls of ordinary people will dissipate soon after death. What Xiao Yuetong saw must be the heavenly souls of his father and mother. Mo Chou explained softly on the side, "It's just that ordinary people can't see it at all." ”
Mo Chou didn't deliberately lower his voice, and Wu Xian also heard it in his ears.
"The girl of our lineage already has many abilities, but she can't awaken with the thinning of her bloodline. Hitomi Satsuki is not the first to have a Sky Eye. Wu Xian sighed heavily, "That's when I learned that Xiao Yuetong not only inherited the ability to communicate with the beasts, but also was born with a divine eye and could see things that others couldn't see. When she saw her parents disappear, she burst into tears. ”
"I still remember vividly that day, the moonlight dissolved and sprinkled a silver glow, I picked up the moon pupils and walked into the distance.
I was afraid of causing trouble to others, so I took the little moon pupil to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. However, I never thought that the originally lush mountains and forests gradually lost the moisture of rain and dew with our arrival.
The earth cracked, the grass withered, the water level of the Han River in the mountains became shallow, and the fish and shrimp in the river disappeared. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were even more strange. Mo Chou frowned even more, thinking in his heart.
"Three years have passed, and my body has become weaker and weaker under the blow of the loss of my child.
Xiao Yuetong looked at my tired and lonely figure, and felt sad.
After leaving the village, I was old and frail, and Xiao Yuetong was young, so I could only use the wild fruits in the mountains, but because of the drought, there were very few wild fruits in the mountains.
A large number of wild beasts fled, and those alien beasts were more sensitive, and they had fled long after we came. ”
"There are even few wild fruits in the forest, so what can you do?" Hu You'er said in a sobbing voice.
Although what Wu Xian said was a thousand years ago, Hu Youer couldn't help but worry.
Wu Xian gently clapped the little hand in his palm, and said softly: "Although the old body doesn't know how to farm and can't hunt, he has the skill of weaving nets and fishing. The Han River had dried up, so we went to fish in the water. ”
"At that time, Hitomi Satsuki followed me and went with me.
Another time, I was busy fishing and didn't notice it for a while, causing Hitomi Satsuki to accidentally fall into the water.
I was in a hurry, and hurriedly threw down the fishing net, trying to pull the little moon Hitomi ashore. But she didn't want to, and suddenly a torrent surged and swept her away. ”
"I froze, no, I was scared stupid, I was really stupid, I didn't know what to do. My son and daughter-in-law entrusted Xiao Yue Hitomi to me before they died, and now that this kind of thing has happened, how can I be worthy of them. ”
"Granny Wuxian, you didn't mean to. I believe ......"
Hu You'er hurriedly comforted her, but before she could finish speaking, Mo Chou opened her mouth and said, "I think, Xiao Yuetong didn't die so easily!"
Wu Xian subconsciously followed the sound and saw Mo Chou's deep and long eyes staring at him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Shui Hao and Du Chi were also shocked when they saw this, and they didn't know why Mo Chou had inferred this, but when they saw Wu Xian's face, they knew that what Mo Chou said was true.
Sure enough, Wu Xian was just in a trance for a moment, and then came back to his senses.
She glanced at Mo Chou deeply, and then said: "Just when I was in despair, I suddenly saw the water surface shaking, and suddenly a monster was revealed, like a snake......"
The corners of Mo Chou's mouth suddenly twitched, and he intercepted again: "It has four wings." ”
Wu Xian's body shook, he was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "Yes, it has four wings on its back, and it is no different from an ordinary snake." Why, don't you ......"
Mo Chou pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Yes, this is the case with the snake that I just said living in the mountains and waters. ”
Wu Xian's body shook violently, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and Huo Di turned his head. Her eyes trembled violently, and her voice was even more hoarse at the moment: "According to what Xiao Yuetong said afterwards, at that time, she only felt extremely painful in her body, and when she struggled in a hurry, she found that she could come and go freely in the water and breathe smoothly, but when she found that she had become a monster, she was immediately terrified." ”
"It's just a six-year-old little moon pupil, and her heart is simple and fun. She flapped her wings in the water, swam to the bottom of the river in an instant, and swallowed several yellow eels between her mouths, and then remembered that I was still on the shore.
I was sitting on the ground, pale with fright, and my whole body was weak. Seeing this, Xiao Yuetong withdrew from the water, spit out the fish in his mouth, and instantly turned into a child again.
Until this time, I still remember the happy way Xiao Yuetong danced, and she asked childishly, Grandma, did you see it, I caught a lot of fish, are you happy?"
Shui Hao and Twilight Chi couldn't help but glance at each other again, Hu You'er covered her mouth in shock, the little moon pupil in Wu Xian's mouth was not only weird, but also unheard of. Only Mo Chou's face on the side was calm, as if he had known this result for a long time. It's just that there is a trace of doubt in his calm.
Wu Xian paused for a moment, as if he was also immersed in the past that had been lost in the millennium, and after a while, he slowly continued: I was dumbfounded. Shocked that his granddaughter was really transformed into a strange beast, thinking of the strange things before and after, and thinking of what my son and daughter-in-law said before their death, my heart suddenly became clear.
When I saw the child's innocent face overflowing with smiles, I secretly thought in my heart, even if it is a strange beast, it is still a good child if she has not done anything bad, and as her grandmother, I must protect her. Only in this way can I be worthy of my dead son and daughter-in-law. ”
After Wu Xian knew that Xiao Yuetong might have been transformed by a strange beast, he still accepted her as his granddaughter, which was beyond the surprise of Shui Hao's people.
But thinking that the Lahu tribe was originally the descendants of the dragon sparrow, Shui Hao and the others were relieved again. Although the dragon bird is the mountain god of the Queshan mountain system, it is not a strange beast. Perhaps, in Wu Xian's heart, Xiaoyue Hitomi is a kind of atavism.
After I made up my mind, I took Xiao Yuetong into my arms, praised her for being capable and sensible, and told her not to tell outsiders about her transformation. Wu Xian sneered and said self-deprecatingly: "Actually, where are outsiders. ”
After this incident, Hitomi Satsuki became more and more fond of diving, and she always caught a lot of fish every time. I also marinated all the fish that I couldn't eat in case I needed it. In this way, our days gradually became more relaxed.
At the same time, because I didn't have to run around all day to wrap my belly, I handed over the inheritance of the Lahu tribe to her little by little in my spare time. ”
Wu Xian's voice carried a hint of pride again.
"Xiao Yuetong can be said to be the most talented witch in the history of the Lahu people. I just had to repeat everything and she would learn it quickly. The entire Lahu tribe has accumulated for thousands of years, and it only took her one year to master it all. Even, those formations that only exist in legends, she can restore the whole picture with only a few words of record. ”
"Until one day, she suddenly asked me, Lord Dragon Sparrow has fallen, what is the use of becoming a witch?
I said, "One day, Lord Dragonbird will be resurrected, and our clan will return to its glory."
She asked me again, if I became a witch, could I avenge my father and mother?"
