Man'er poured a cup of tea for Aunt Qing and asked curiously: "When did you come to the capital?

Do you have any family members in southern Xinjiang?”

Qinggu [Bayi Chinese website     www.81zw.info] Gu held the tea and took a sip. The warm tea continued down her throat. The tea leaves were not rough, which shows that the Chu Palace treats the servants very well.

"I?"

Aunt Qing held the cup and looked slowly at Man'er. There was a fog in her eyes, "I have a daughter."

“What about your daughter?

Still in southern Xinjiang?

How could you come here just by letting go?”

It is rare for Man'er to meet a fellow villager and his conversation starts to begin.

Aunt Qing thought and looked up at her, "Maybe, I will tell you a story. When you accompany the Crown Princess, you will tell her the story I told to relieve her boredom."

Man'er was very happy to hear the story, "Okay, I like to hear the story the most, tell me quickly."

Aunt Qing put down her cup, took a deep breath, and said, "The story starts with a man named A Qing. When A Qing was eight years old, she was already respected as a saint in the tribe. The saint has a high status. The people believe in her, regard her as their faith, and regard her as their priest. When she became a saint, the elders of the tribe told her that we have a mortal enemy, who is very bad, and attempt to control our people, fish and meat, our people are the great devils that everyone can kill, and we must take him as our enemy.

But as the Saint A Qing grew older, she began to know a lot of things outside. She found that the big devil was not as bad as the elders said. On the contrary, he did a lot of things for the people, and was deeply loved and respected by the people of a place. Moreover, what he did was to unite all the people and make them condense into a powerful force to resist foreign enemies at critical moments, and the elders slandered him... At that time, the Saint did think it was slander because the position of the ruler was not in our tribe. A Qing slowly realized that this was actually a struggle of power, not a confrontation between good and evil, black and white."

"She hates this kind of struggle from the bottom of her heart, because the first lesson that the saint learned was to put the people first and not to be attached to power. What the elders and the others did happened to violate this precept.

When he was seventeen years old, something happened in the tribe. A man killed a girl from the other tribe and chopped the body to feed the wolf. During the negotiations between the two tribes, Ah Qing saw this big devil..." Man'er held her cheek and looked at her. The expression on her face did not change much, but the softness in her eyes became a pool of water, as if what she thought in her mind was the sweetest she knew.

"Is that big devil looking scary?"

Man'er asked.

Aunt Qing shook her head slowly, and her voice became very gentle, "No, he is not scary at all. On the contrary, he is better than any man A Qing has ever seen. A Qing had a dream that night, and she became the bride of the Great Demon King."

"Have the Great Demon King not married yet?"

Man'er asked.

"He has kissed twice, both wives have died. Some people say that he was sentenced to death and needed to marry a woman who was more destined than him to suppress the evil spirit. His third wife was found by his mother. She was a particularly weak woman. He was afraid of harming others' lives, so he never married her and did not fulfill her family. But at that time, his mother thought that there must be a woman in the mansion to manage affairs, so she was forcibly kept."

"That's how it works!"

Man'er can already guess the ending of the story, "This saint must have married the Great Demon King, right?"

Aunt Qing nodded, "That's right, when she was eighteen years old, she secretly left the tribe and went to find the great devil. She told the great devil that her life was very hard and no one could be punished. She would accompany him until her old age. The great devil was moved and married her as her side wife. They lived a very happy life and gave birth to a daughter."

"Why is it not Madam Zheng but Madam Fang?"

Man'er said.

Aunt Qing smiled bitterly, "Because, the mother of the Great Demon King always likes the woman. Even if the Great Demon King doesn't marry her, his mother still leaves her a wife's place for her and maintains her status in the mansion."

"But, will the elders of the tribe let the saint marry the great devil?"

Man'er asked.

Aunt Qing shook her head, "I just said that the saint ran out secretly. No one knew where she went, and no one thought she would marry the Great Demon King, because this saint still wanted to be hostile to him in his days when she missed the Great Demon King, as if she had an irreconcilable grudge. No one thought that she would give up the saint's throne and marry the Great Demon King."

Man'er became nervous, "What if those elders knew?"

Aunt Qing's eyebrows beat a few times, her lips trembled, "They will catch her back and take holy medicine to maintain her life. Lingchi put a hundred swords into the hot spring. Because Lingchi's knife skills are excellent, it will not cause a lot of blood to make people die. Moreover, after taking holy medicine, they will remain awake. After soaking for twelve hours, they will pick it up and peel off the skin and bones, and they will die at that time."

Man'er had a cold war all over, "Oh my God, this is too cruel."

"The saint thinks that this is not cruel. The most cruel thing is to separate her from her husband and child from now on. Therefore, when she heard rumors that the elders of the tribe learned about her whereabouts, she had to dodge for a while..." Aunt Qing held her hands, her fingers were tightly imprinted into her flesh, and the expression on her face became very ferocious and painful. "But she didn't know that this parting is separation from life and death, and the separation of yin and yang was separated. This is the decision she had made the last regret in her life."

Man'er's heart was suffocated and she asked nervously: "What happened later?"

Aunt Qing's face became very cold, and her hands slowly lowered and hid in her sleeves, trembling slightly invisibly, "Not long after she left, she heard the news that the Great Demon King's family was destroyed. She rushed back like crazy. She saw that the entire mansion was burned to ashes, and she couldn't even collect the body for him. After several inquiries, she found out that someone had escaped. She wanted to find the escaped person and asked if it was done by the elders of the tribe. After learning that those people escaped, she also came to the capital. She also found out that a girl was rescued from the mansion at that time. She wanted to know whether the girl who escaped from death was her daughter. Unfortunately, she could no longer find these people, because when they met a big man, they were killed as an assassin.

But she never gave up in her heart, always thinking that her daughter was still alive, so she stayed in the capital to hide her identity. On the one hand, she avoided the pursuit, and on the other hand, she had to wait for her daughter. Finally, the emperor paid off. One day, she heard a news that her daughter was still alive, and in the capital, she heard this news, she hid in the corner and cried all night. Since her husband was killed, she had not shed a tear. Her heart had followed her husband to die in that fire. Surviving was also for her daughter and for revenge. In her lifetime, she only hoped to see her again. Even if she could not recognize each other, she would be enough to look at her from afar."

Man'er burst into tears when she heard this, and she felt very sympathetic, "This saint is so miserable. Did she meet her daughter in the end?"

Aunt Qing looked at her for a long time, and then slowly said: "No."
