Ever since the mute ghost's sister was chosen as a saint, their mother has been crying every day, as if she knew she would never see her daughter again... Facts have proved that since their sister was taken away when she was twelve years old, they The whole family will indeed never have the chance to meet again.
In the memory of the mute ghost, his sister was innocent and very cute. There was always a kind of natural beauty in her body, which made people like to get close to her. Unfortunately, the memory of the mute ghost only stayed at the age of ten. When he was two years old, he spent his entire life searching for his sister's whereabouts, hoping to see her again.
In the third year after his sister was taken away, the father of the mute ghost fell off a cliff and died while chasing the lost sheep on the way to herd sheep. In order to make up for his loss, their owner sold the mother of the mute ghost. .
When parting with her mother, she held the mute ghost's hand tightly and told him to find her sister no matter what, and then find a way to take her to escape from this hell that eats people without spitting out bones, and find a place where spring is like spring all year round. Live well where you farm...
The mute ghost looked at his mother with despair in his eyes, knowing that they would never have a chance to reunite again, so he held on to his mother's hand, but was knocked unconscious by his master.
From then on, the mute ghost replaced his father as the new shepherd of the tribe, and he also firmly remembered what his mother told him, that he must find his sister. Even though he cannot speak or read, he can understand what others say because he was not born deaf and mute...
A wise man in the tribe once told him that if you want to find someone, you must know her name. As long as the name is right, you will eventually find the person even if you are in poverty or hell.
In the tribe where the mute ghost belongs, slaves are divided into three classes: servants, poor households and young people. The servants are usually the personal servants of the slave owners, or some foremen in charge; while the poor households are small households. This means that they have a small number of livestock and farm tools in their hands, are responsible for cultivating the slave owner's land, and must pay grain rent regularly; as for the children, they are the lowest status slaves among them, and they are also the private property of the slave owner. They are slaves and will be given away, bought and sold by slave owners at will, and even tortured and killed.
It is a pity that the mute ghost and his sister were born into the lowest status in the tribe. Before their master gave them names, they were not worthy of formal names and were only allowed to be called by their nicknames. But the mute ghost's sister was not named by her father and brother. Neither of them could speak, so she and the mute ghost didn't even have a nickname for each other when they parted.
But the mute ghost knew in his heart that even if he did not have an official name, his sister had been chosen as a saint, so she would definitely have her own name, so he often asked other people in the clan about his sister's whereabouts, hoping to know her What's your name now?
At first, people in the tribe were unwilling to pay attention to Mute Ghost, the lowest-status born boy. Even if there were slaves who were also born boys and wanted to help him, they could not help him at all because their status was too low. busy……
The turning point of the matter was at a sacrificial ceremony many years later. When the mute ghost was helping to transport the cattle and sheep for sacrifice, he overheard someone talking about a saint who would be beating drums at the ceremony to invite gods... The mute ghost... He was ecstatic when he heard the word "saint". He was not qualified to see the saint, but he rushed into the ceremony like crazy.
Then he saw a girl with a graceful figure dressed in red. She was playing drums in a fancy way and praying to the gods in the center of the ceremony. The appearance of the mute ghost alerted the girl who was playing the drums, and she suddenly He looked at the mute ghost with a strange and frightened expression.
At the same time, the mute ghost also froze in place, because he recognized that the girl in front of him was not his sister. Although she also had a noble temperament, although she was also innocent... but it was a pity that the two of them were not the same age.
My sister was born in the same year as the mute ghost, and she should be a mature woman in her twenties now, but the girl playing the drum in front of her looks not much older than when her sister was first taken away...
Then there is the appearance of the other person. Although the brother and sister have not seen each other for many years, they were already twelve years old when they separated, and their basic appearance has already been formed. How could they not recognize each other when they meet again? In addition, the sister of the mute ghost has a tear mole in the corner of her eye, while the drumming girl has nothing in the corner of her eye.
Because the mute ghost rashly broke in and interrupted the ongoing sacrificial ceremony, several leaders in the tribe were immediately angered. They wanted to execute the mute ghost on the spot, but they were stopped by the high priest of the tribe. His life was temporarily saved... The mute ghost originally thought that the high priest was kind-hearted in rescuing him, but unexpectedly he had another evil intention.
From then on, the mute ghost was kept in solitary confinement. He neither had to herd sheep nor work. He also took some weird decoctions at regular intervals every day. The ignorant mute ghost thought he was a blessing in disguise, but the servant who brought him the medicine was talking to him. He always speaks in a strange manner, as if he can't understand why the high priest of the tribe would treat the lowest slave so favorably...
But at this time, the mute ghost was still thinking about how to find his sister. Since the current saint has been replaced, where has his sister gone? Although he cannot speak, he can communicate with people who also know sign language, and the high priest is one of them.
But every time the mute ghost asked the high priest about the whereabouts of his sister, the high priest always told him in a cryptic manner that he would naturally take him to see his sister when the time came... So the mute ghost lived a stable life like this for several years, but During this period, he never had any news about his sister. In the end, he really had no choice but to do the next best thing and ask the high priest for his sister's official name after she became a saint.
Because the mute ghost couldn't read, he also asked the high priest to write his sister's name on a piece of paper, and then kept it with him so as not to forget... It turned out that the note that was extremely important to the mute ghost was written on it. It turned out to be his sister's name, Mei Duo.
Only then did Song Jiang understand what the mute ghost wanted him to do. It turned out that he was not asking him what was on the note, but whether he knew the woman named Mei Duo on the note...
Today's update... I feel uncomfortable and want to cry. I had a high fever two days ago and I really can't type a word. Now I have reached the stage of sealing my nose with cement.
