Chapter 197: True Despair
"I used to think that Tsukitomi was young and didn't remember those past events. But she never thought about it, she remembered.
Back then, I hid in the dark with the moon pupil and watched my son and daughter-in-law being engulfed in flames. At that time, there was a seed of hatred buried deep in her heart.
Years have passed, and Tsukitomi is twelve years old, her body shape and appearance are no different from ordinary children, but she has completely mastered all the inheritance of the Lahu tribe, and she has been able to switch between human body and snake body freely.
And that seed of hatred had already taken root in her heart.
Originally, I passed on all of Wu to Yuetong, and I have no regrets. But at that time, I didn't dare to die, without my suppression, I was afraid that Yuetong would go to take revenge. ”
"Granny Wu Xian, don't you hate those people who burned your son and daughter-in-law?" and you don't want to take revenge?" Hu You'er said in surprise.
Shui Hao and the others also looked at Wu Xian in puzzlement, and they felt that they couldn't let go.
Wu Xian nodded heavily, and shook his head dejectedly.
"I hate those people in the clan too, but our mission as a witch is to protect the Lahu tribe and worship Lord Longque. We are all descendants of Lord Dragonbird, and the only one who can dispose of the clan is Lord Dragonbird. ”
Hearing this, Twilight snorted coldly and said angrily, "When they set fire to the old house, did they ever think that you were all descendants of the dragon sparrow? When they watched your son and daughter-in-law die in the flames, did they ever remember that you were the same clan? When they killed you, did they remember that you were the witch who served the dragon sparrow?"
Wu Xian's eyes stared at the twilight in front of him, but the complex emotions that flashed in his eyes were indescribable, like sadness and crying.
Gradually, the appearance of twilight slowly overlapped with the small figure of the year. Whether it is their expression or the question of themselves, it is the same.
Wu Xian's lips trembled, and he said in a thin voice: "I know all this, I know all this! But if I am a witch for a day, I can't forget my mission." ”
The same words from a thousand years ago, and the same broken heart as it was a thousand years ago. It's just that there is no more tear in her eyes.
In Wu Xian's eyes, sorrow slowly took all the place, and her eyes also looked at a corner not far away, a place full of scorched earth, where there may also be two former souls, quietly listening.
"That time, Tsukitomi and I had a big fight. She didn't return for days, and we never stayed apart for that long. Although I knew that with her ability, there would be no danger in this forest, but I couldn't help but worry. ”
So I left the place where I was staying, and searched around. But I searched around, but I didn't see her, so I thought she might have returned to Yushui.
When I got there, I heard from the mouth of the fish and shrimp in the water that Moon Pupil hadn't been here for several days. ”
Hu You'er couldn't help but ask, "Did Yuetong go to Kewei Mountain?"
Wu Xian shook his head gently: "At that time, there were still strange beasts on the Kewei Mountain, and although the moon pupil was young, she knew the depths. She didn't dare go there alone. ”
"Moon Pupil should be back in the Lahu tribe. Twilight stared at her and said in a deep voice.
According to his thoughts, the enmity of his parents is not shared. Whatever the reason, as a son of man, there will be revenge and resentment.
Wu Xian nodded, sighed lightly, and looked at Twilight with an extremely complicated expression.
"You guessed right, the boy did return to the Lahu.
Although Yue Tong is only twelve years old, she has obtained all the inheritance of Wu, but she is still young and has no inheritance, and there is no chance to practice. But even so, the Lahu no longer have secrets in her eyes. ”
"Yue Tong quietly changed the formation in the village, and I don't know what method she used to drive the strange beasts on the Keo Mountain to attack the village. On that occasion, there were heavy casualties among the clan. ”
"Good!" Twilight snapped his fists together and shouted, "That's how it should be!"
Shui Hao and Hu You'er were speechless, but they saw the same excitement in each other's eyes as in Twilight's red eyes. Only Mo Chou contemplated with his eyebrows, looking preoccupied.
Wu Xian shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't watch the clansmen die in the mouth of the beasts, so I secretly took action to restore the formation.
Soon after, Moon Hitomi found out about this. As if she was angry with me, she moved on the ancestral graves of the villagers......"
Wu Xian's voice paused, as if he thought of something happy, and a smile appeared on his stiff face.
"The moon pupil is constantly damaged, and I keep repairing it. All of her skills were taught by me, and how could she get a bargain in my hands.
This went back and forth for several days. Although the villagers were deeply disturbed, they did not have to worry about their lives. I also thought that Yue Tong was playing a petty temper and would go back with me when she dissipated the resentment in her heart. But I underestimated her stubbornness, the hatred in her heart, and her other ability. ”
"Another ability?" Hu You'er said in surprise, "Mother-in-law means that she has transformed into a snake?"
Wu Xian shook his head and sighed heavily.
"No, it's a drought. The deep voice was not from Wu Xian, but from Mo Chou.
"The reason why the snake is famous is that everywhere they go, there is no grass for thousands of miles. Since the moon pupil can transform into a singing snake, it also has this ability. It's just that she's still young, and this ability is not strong. ”
This snake is also a strange thing. Snakes and beasts are good at controlling the water, and flood everywhere they go, but the snakes find a strange way, and wherever they go, they will drain all the water from it.
This is also the reason why once the snake is on the verge of adulthood, it must leave the beautiful mountains and beautiful waters. Otherwise, it would have been a barren place.
It's just that Mo Chou is puzzled by why the moon pupil is accompanied by this phenomenon when she is born, and even if she turns into a singing snake, she is still underage, why everywhere she goes, the grass and trees are dried up in a short period of time, and the river is dry.
Although Shui Hao and the three of them didn't think as much as Mo Chou, they were still shocked. At this time, they also remembered the strange phenomena that Wu Xian had said.
Wu Xian smiled bitterly and sighed: "Yuetong has been fighting with me for so long, it is not to be superior, she never thought that she could win against me in Wu. She's just dragging her feet, and all she wants is for the Lahu people to be cut off from water.
The purpose of the moon pupil has been achieved, and by the time I find out, I have no power to return to the sky. ”
Wu Xian said that there was silence here, and he didn't speak for a long time, and Shui Hao and the others were also silent, they were waiting for Wu Xian to speak.
I don't know how long it took for Wu Xian's voice to sound again. It's just that there are some indescribable and inexplicable emotions in her voice.
"The Lahu people have ancestral precepts that they cannot leave their lands, and although they no longer believe that Lord Longque can be resurrected, they cannot fail to obey the ancestral precepts. Even if they die of thirst, they will die of thirst here. ”
For some reason, there was a hint of sarcasm in Wu Xian's voice.
At this time, the good deeds of the clan remembered the moon pupil again, and remembered me who had fled away! they thought that me and the moon pupil must be around here, and we must be taking revenge on them. ”
"People who do good deeds?" Shui Hao said in surprise, a look of surprise in his eyes.
He still remembered that he was also a good person at the beginning, and he noticed that Xiao Yue Hitomi was born with blue eyes, and she had been in drought since birth, thinking that she was an ominous person, and inciting the villagers to kill Xiao Yue Hitomi.
"Yes, good deeds!" said Wu Xian's sarcastic voice, "you would never have imagined that the people who did good things at the beginning and those who do good things now are the same people. And his identity is the uncle of the moon pupil. ”
"What are you talking about?" Shui Hao and the others exclaimed at the same time, looking at Wu Xian in shock, with an unbelievable look in their eyes.
"At the beginning, no one in the clan was willing to marry into my family, it was he who persuaded his parents to marry his sister to my son; at the beginning, it was he who instigated my son and daughter-in-law to drink the water of the Han River; at the beginning, it was he who was overjoyed with the newborn Yuetong, and even the name of Yuetong came from his mouth; at the beginning, it was he who told the secret of Yuetong and incited the villagers in the clan; at the beginning, it was he who personally lit the old house and burned my son and daughter-in-law alive in the house; now it is also he who says that the water supply in the clan is cut off, and it is all done by Yuetong. ”
Wu Xian's voice was hoarse, and the words were crying blood, like a midnight cuckoo, and Wu Xia's ape groaned, without such desolation and mourning. The screaming smells sad, and the listener weeps.
"How can there be such a despicable villain in the world, even that voice is not as good. Twilight raised an angry brow and said angrily.
He copied the peachwood staff in his hand, and wanted to kill this person with the cane right now.
Shui Hao and Hu You'er were equally sad and angry, and even Xiaohong on the side bared her teeth and let out an angry whisper.
Only Mo Chou's expression on his face did not change much, but his brows tightened.
It's not that his heart is as hard as iron, it's just that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. This matter is strange from beginning to end, especially Yuetong's uncle.
The man knelt at the entrance of the village, naked. He took out a sharp blade and ...... He cut off his own flesh with a knife. With each cut, he shouted the names of Tsukitomi's mother and father.
He atoned for my daughter-in-law again, repented to my son, and begged me and Yuetong for forgiveness again. ”
Shui Hao and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and there was an incredible look in their eyes.
They knew that the man in Wu Xian's mouth was Moonlight's uncle, but they could not imagine why that person had changed so quickly. Could it be that he is doing this for the safety of his people?
"It's not going to be that simple...... Mo Chou said indifferently on the side, but it stopped abruptly here. He spun around and looked away, as if there was something there that attracted him even more.
"Hitomi and I never believed it. He just cut himself into white bones one by one, and he couldn't get rid of the hatred in the hearts of me and Yuetong. But Tsukitomi and I still showed up at the entrance of the village, just to see him become desperate little by little, just like my son and daughter-in-law. ”
