Man'er poured a cup of tea for Aunt Qing and asked curiously: "When did you come to the capital? Do you have family in Nanjiang?"
Aunt Qing held the tea and took a sip. The warm tea was running down her throat. The tea was not rough. It was obvious that the Palace of Chu had treated the servants very well.
"Me?" Aunt Qing held the cup, her eyes slowly looked at Man'er, and the cage gradually became foggy, "I still have a daughter."
"What about your daughter? Are you still in southern Xinjiang? Why did you come here?" Man'er rarely met a fellow villager, and the chat box was opened for a moment.
Aunt Qing thought, and looked up at her, "Perhaps, I will tell you a story. When you are with the princess, you will tell her the story I told to relieve her boredom."
Man'er heard the story and was very happy, "Okay, I like to hear stories the most. Tell me soon."
Aunt Qing put down the cup, took a deep breath, and said: "The story starts with a person named A Qing. When he was eight years old, A Qing was already revered as a saint in the tribe, the status of a saint. Very tall, the people believe in her, regard her as their faith, and regard her as their venerable. Since her first day as a saint, the elders of the tribe told her that we have a deadly enemy, he is very bad, and is trying to control our son. People, fish and meat, our people, are the great demon that everyone gets and punishes. We must use him as an enemy. But as the saint Aqing gets older, she begins to know a lot of things outside, she I found that the great demon was not as bad as the elders said. On the contrary, he did a lot of things for the people, and won the love and respect of the people of a place. Moreover, all he did was to unite all the people and the people. , Let them condense into a powerful force that can resist foreign enemies at a critical moment, and the elders slandered him... At that time, the saint did think it was slander, because the status of the ruler was not in our tribe, Qing slowly realized This is actually a struggle for power, not a black-and-white confrontation between good and evil."
"She hates this kind of struggle from the bottom of her heart, because the first lesson the saint learns is to put the people and people first, not to be attached to power. The elders happened to violate this commandment when they were seventeen years old. , Something happened in the tribe. A man killed a girl from the opposing tribe and chopped up the corpse to feed the wolf. During the negotiations between the two tribes, Ah Qing saw this great devil..."
Man'er looked at her with his cheeks. The expression on her face didn't change much, but the bottom of her eyes softened into a puddle of water, as if what she thought was the sweetest she knew.
"Does that great devil look scary?" Man'er asked.
Aunt Qing shook her head slowly, and her voice became very soft, "No, he is not scary at all. On the contrary, he is better-looking than any man A Qing has ever met. A Qing had a dream that night. The bride of the Great Demon King."
"Isn't the big devil married yet?" Man'er asked.
"He has been married twice, and both wives are dead. Some people say that he was tortured and he needs to marry a woman who is harder than him to suppress the evil spirit. His third wife is his mother. The one who came in was a particularly weak woman. He was afraid of killing her, so he never married her and did not marry her. But at the time his mother thought that there must be a woman in the house to manage affairs and forced her to stay."
"That's it!" Man'er can already guess the ending of the story, "This saint must be married to the Great Devil, isn't it?"
Aunt Qing nodded, "Yes, when she was eighteen years old, she secretly left the tribe and went to the Great Demon King. She told the Great Demon King that her life was so hard that no one could be tortured. She will accompany him until he is old. The big devil was moved and married her as his wife. They had a very happy life and gave birth to a daughter."
"Why is it not Madam Positive but Madam Side?" Man'er said.
Aunt Qing smiled bitterly, "Because the big devil's mother always prefers that woman, even if the big devil doesn't marry her, his mother will still reserve her the position of a lady to maintain her position in the mansion."
"But, is the elder of the tribe willing to let the saint marry the big devil?" Man'er asked.
Aunt Qing shook her head, "I just said that the saint ran out secretly, no one knows where she went, and no one thought that she would marry the devil, because this saint was in the days of longing for the devil. , She still wants to be hostile to him duplicity, as if there is an antagonism, no one would have thought that she would give up the honor of a saint and marry the great devil.
Man'er became nervous, "Then what would happen if those elders knew?"
Aunt Qing's eyebrows and heart beat a few times, and her lips trembled, "They will catch her back, take the holy medicine to maintain her life, and put Lingchi 100 knives in the hot spring. Because Lingchi's knives are very good, it won't make people bleed a lot. You will die, and you will stay awake after taking the holy medicine. After soaking for twelve hours, you will pick up the skin and remove the bones, and then you will die."
Man'er fought a cold war all over, "Oh my God, this is so cruel."
"The saint thinks that this is not cruel. The most cruel thing is to separate her from her husband, son-in-law and children. Therefore, when there are rumors that the tribal elders learned of her whereabouts, she had to avoid it for a while..."
Aunt Qing clasped her hands, her fingers were tightly imprinted in the flesh, and the expression on her face became very grim and anguished. "But she doesn't know that this parting is the parting of life and death. The yin and yang are separated. This is her life. Made the most regretful decision."
Man'er's heart was hung up and asked nervously, "What happened afterwards?"
Aunt Qing's face became very cold, and she slowly lowered her hands and hid them in her sleeves, trembling invisibly, "Not long after she left, she heard the news that the Great Demon King's family was destroyed, and she hurried back like crazy. , I saw that the entire mansion was burned to ashes, and she couldn't even collect his body. After several inquiries, she knew that someone had escaped. She wanted to find the escaped person and asked if it was the work of the tribal elder. After knowing those people escaped, she went all the way to Beijing, and she followed to the capital. She faintly found out that a girl was rescued from the mansion. She wanted to know if the girl who had escaped from the dead was her daughter, but unfortunately, she had no choice. I found these people because they were killed as an assassin when they met a big man. But she never gave up in her heart, always thinking that her daughter was still alive, so she stayed in Beijing to hide her identity, while avoiding chasing To kill, on the one hand, he had to wait for his daughter. Finally Huangtian paid off. One day she heard a news that her daughter was still alive and she was in Beijing. Hearing the news, she hid in a corner and cried all night. Since the death of her husband-in-law, she has not shed a single tear. Her heart has followed her husband-in-law and died in the fire. She has survived for her daughter and for revenge. For the rest of her life, she only hopes to see her daughter again, even if I can’t recognize each other. Looking at her from a distance, she is also willing to be enough."
Man'er burst into tears when she heard it, and felt very sympathetic, "This saint is too miserable, then did she meet her daughter for the last time?"
Aunt Qing looked at her for a long time, and then slowly said, "No."
