Chapter 481 - ⑩ The Woman in the Nursery Rhyme
Chapter Zero—⑩The Woman in Nursery Rhymes
As the name suggests, Qianfeng Town is surrounded by strange peaks and forests, and the roads are blocked. If it is not necessary, people are reluctant to go there, because if they are not careful, they will get lost in the Qianfeng Mountains. Once this happens, non-local Miao people cannot save them.

What kind of person would choose to settle in such a place?People in Hanfu and Chinese-speaking people can be seen everywhere in the town. They were either elegant scholars in the Northern Dynasties or wealthy businessmen in the Southern Dynasties, who came here because they were relegated or exiled, or to escape the war. There are porters and peddlers, and local residents in Miao clothes are very rare. All in all, they together contributed to the prosperity of the town.

Although there are Han Chinese towns in Qianfengling, there are still conservative Miao people who choose to live in the mountains and try not to contact the Han people. First, they are afraid that the Han people will bring disputes to them. Among the outlanders who took risks and chose to settle in Qianfengling, who is not at the end of the road?Over time, this place has formed a situation where Han people live at the bottom of the mountain and Miao people live at the top of the mountain.

But I don't know when, the children in the town began to sing such a song: "My elder sister, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, is leaning against the water, her face is red; she looks at the leaves, floating on the water, and the moon looks south. , take away the missing."

When I first heard the song, I was not surprised.But after more and more Miao people came down from the mountain, the insightful people in the town discovered that there was a mountain stream between the territory of the Miao people and the Han people, and a river flowed in the mountain stream, and the hills beside the river were full of trees. There are azaleas, and the south of the river happens to be where Qianfeng Town is located.

Sometimes Confucian scholars commented: "This is a sign of the confluence of Miao and Han."

Du Juan, a Miao girl, is one of the Miao people who is keen to go down the mountain to live.Her story is also strange to say.

King Miao of Qianfengling is a promising king. He is keen on communicating and doing business with the outside world on weekdays. He overcame all opinions and agreed to give up part of the cultivated land to the Han people, so as to promote harmonious coexistence...all kinds of things were done by him. .For this reason, he also forged a lot of hatred within the clan.

Forming friendship with foreign countries and managing government affairs internally, this sincere and knowledgeable gentleman had to neglect family affairs on weekdays. Fortunately, he got a daughter when he was old, named Du Juan.

Little Rhododendron has been cared for in every possible way from the moment she was born. She is inseparable from her mother, reaching out for clothes and opening her mouth for meals. Nothing more than maidservants, slaves, and promising young Miao people.

King Miao treats little Dujuan very affectionately. Not only does he not let her practice Miaojiang witchcraft, but he also doesn't let anyone despise her or blame her. He personally guides all the teaching and education of life knowledge.

Sure enough, the mountain people regard the little cuckoo as a pearl, and she is indeed shining enough - her singing voice is the most beautiful in the whole Miao Township.

The old people said that this is the phoenix descended into the world. The young people admire such girls, and women and children are also happy to be with them.

When playing with friends, no one dares to disobey the little cuckoo, just make her happy; when you encounter food or clothes you don’t like, the servants will throw them away immediately; if you are upset by some annoying guy, There must be someone who will help Little Du Juan to punish him...

Until one day, King Miao was critically ill, and the mountain people were in chaos. For the little cuckoo, the days that were once like the stars and the moon are gone forever.

Du Juan stood in front of the sea of ​​flowers where he used to stay, but he couldn't find any impressive memories in his mind. Looking at the sunset, his eyes were full of pictures of King Miao being treated coldly by his uncle, servants, and mountain people after he was critically ill.

"I don't understand why they all suddenly became like this? Sure enough, they are all fake..." She didn't shout out, but the words were deafening. She asked herself and God: " What kind of person is the slave family?"

I really want to know, I really want to know.

At this time, when Little Du Juan's mind was approaching maturity, she began to rebel against everything familiar in her memory, always feeling that everyone around her and all previous memories were outright lies.

While his mother was taking good care of King Miao, Du Juan began to sneak down the mountain frequently to contact the Han people in the town.Little Cuckoo should have felt lost in being alone for quite some time, but the truth was just the opposite: she had never been more at ease.

The town is too big, dozens of times larger than the Miao Village. More importantly, everyone here is a stranger. They don't know each other well, so they don't have to endure the torment of past memories.

However, the little cuckoo soon hit a wall.

She wanted the hairpin, but found that she had no money; she wanted to taste the tea of ​​the Han people, but the boss saw that she was a Miao girl, and threw her out without saying a word; If you see the evil spirit, turn around and leave.

She crouched on the corner of the street with a hunched body. Although she never said a word, her disappointed and exhausted expression always confided to the passing people: "Come and comfort me."

From childhood to adulthood, it was difficult to get rid of the arrogant and domineering life of more than ten years, and she knew it herself, but there was nothing she could do.

"If someone can say a word to me, I will definitely smile back with the most gentle smile." She said silently in her heart, but unfortunately, the barriers between different races are not so easy to eliminate.

Soon, the Dongchuang incident happened, and the little Dujuan's trick was seen through by King Miao, who asked his servants to arrest her overnight to interrogate her, but the little Dujuan couldn't argue with it, and only said: "Why can't my family leave when people in the clan hate me so much?"

"It's not your fault that they hate you. They deceive you because you are simple, scheming, and ungrateful. It's all your father's fault." Dragging his seriously ill body, King Miao replied politely: "This matter , just because I am too old and weak to take on great responsibilities, and I have no successors... If you insist on leaving, you must go to visit grandma and practice Miao Gu skills for three years before you can leave."

The little cuckoo refused, and asked: "Daddy never let my family touch that rare thing, why did you let my family learn it again today?"

"I hope Juan'er will never use it, but there is a completely different situation between using Gu and not using Gu..." Miao Wang said: "In the future, you will definitely understand it as my father's good intentions."

Du Juan agreed and left immediately.

When King Miao saw her go away, he whispered to his wife: "From now on, let people secretly sing this song to the children in Qianfeng Town. After the children learn it, spread the news. Han people always believe in the way of heaven. After I die, There is nothing to worry about about Miao and Han."

Little Dujuan doesn't know the righteousness of her family and country, she just wants to treat more people sincerely, so that others like her true self, so that she can also know what kind of person she really is from other people's mouths.

Grandma is the person with the highest reputation in the entire Miao Township. She practices Miao Gu and sacrifices to ghosts and gods. She also loves this grandchild very much. When she learned that she wanted to go down the mountain to make friends with the Han people, she specially ordered a grandson to open an academy at the foot of the mountain. The acquaintance who gave lectures also sent the little granddaughter in.
