Chapter 23 one

In the year 783 of the Muslim calendar (about 1381), King Timur began his war to conquer Persia, and my mother gave birth to me in that year. After Aya got married, she gave birth to a son for Shana, but unfortunately the child died of a serious illness a few months ago.It was not until she was twenty-four that Aya gave birth to another daughter. She asked a respected old man in the clan to name her daughter Uyang Yixia. From the moment she was born, Uyang Yixia was not a child who made her parents feel at ease. Like her dead brother, she was weak and often fell ill. Aya and Shanai were worried about her.One day, when Wuyang Yixia was recovering from a serious illness, Aya invited the old man to do a fortune-telling for her daughter. The result of the fortune-telling seemed to surprise the old man.

At first, the old man refused to reveal anything to Aya.Later, unable to withstand Aya's repeated urging and pleading, the old man quietly told Aya that her daughter will experience the pain of being separated from her own flesh and blood when she becomes an adult, but all the misfortunes this daughter will experience in the future will become the blessings of her own flesh and blood. shade. The old man left after praying for the child. When he left, he told Aya to keep the child’s secret. No matter what happened in the future, she should do what she thought she should do according to the revelation of Changshengtian. Only in this way, Only her daughter can be happy.

Aya agreed without hesitation. It is unbelievable that from that day on, Uyang Yixia's body became stronger miraculously.She seldom got sick again, and her sallow face became ruddy and more beautiful every day.Originally, according to Aya's wish, she and Shanai wanted to have another daughter and two sons, at least one more son, but God's will tricks people, since Shanai was shot by an arrow when he attacked Khwarazmo He was shot in the abdomen, and although he was lucky enough to save his life, he lost his fertility forever.In this way, Uyang Yixia became Shanai and Aya's only child.Shanai loves his daughter so much, he regards her as the apple of his eye, and under his doting, Uyang Yixia has grown into a smart, self-willed, slim girl.

Probably because Changshengtian loves Wuyang Yixia very much. Her appearance and figure follow her father's. She has a lovely melon-seeded face, extremely delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a slender figure. All the young men who see her are admiring for her. , hoping to marry her as his wife. Among the young people who had the same thoughts, there was Miransha, the third son of King Timur. Miransha was only fourteen years old, just the age when he first fell in love, and he fell in love with Uyang Yixia at first sight. He told his father about his wish. At that time, King Timur’s eldest son Jahanjar was not alive, his second son Ogilvy had married a wife and had children a few years ago, his fourth son Shahru was only three or four years old, and Miran Shah had been a child since he was ten years old. He became a warrior and followed his father to conquer the east and west. For this reason, King Timur had to cherish him very much.

Since his son Milansha said that he liked Uyang Yixia, and King Timur also believed that Uyang Yixia was worthy of his son, he proposed to Shanai and Aya to marry Uyang Yixia for his son. .Shanai and Aya only have one daughter, and originally wanted to marry a son-in-law, but since it was King Timur's wish to marry the two families, it was difficult for them to clearly express their opposition.They told their daughter that King Timur personally came to propose marriage and asked her for her opinion. Unexpectedly, her daughter refused without hesitation. Uyang Yixia generously told her parents that she already had a sweetheart, and that the young man she liked had a mediocre family background, but he had a good character, and that the young man was willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law.

Compared with marrying their daughter into the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth and face the bloody storm, Shanai and Aya hope that their only daughter can live a free and happy life.Now that the daughter has found someone she likes, they won't beat the mandarin ducks with sticks.Anyway, the twisted melon is not sweet. They believe that King Timur, who has always been very optimistic about the issue of children's marriage, will never be dissatisfied with them because they rejected this marriage. Aya and Shana discussed it and made a decision to ask their daughter to bring the young man over to show them. If they think the young man is good, they should choose a date as soon as possible to arrange the marriage for them. thought.

Uyang Yixia happily ran away.After a short time, she came back with a tall, handsome young man, who was also from Chagatai. There were five brothers in the family, and the young man was the fourth eldest. The family wanted him to join Shanai's family, because it was important to them. an honor. Shanai and Aya talked with the young man for a whole afternoon. The young man spoke plainly and had a deep affection for Uyang Yixia, which made Shanai and Aya especially satisfied.In the evening, as a token of their approval, they left the young man at home for supper.The young man was very happy, and he took the initiative to help in the kitchen, and made his specialty roast lamb back and carrot soup. Shanai and Aya ate it with great relish, and they admired the young man even more.

The next day, Shanai went to the palace to present the truth to King Timur. Although King Timur was a little disappointed, he never wanted to force Shanai and Aya, who had lived and died with him, and he promised that he would go to Milan Shan. To explain, and after the wedding date between Wuyang Yixia and the young man is confirmed, he must be notified, and he will attend the wedding in person. So far, Wuyang Yixia has got her wish, and a good life seems to be at her fingertips.However, in the year she was just pregnant, King Timur launched a large-scale military campaign against the Golden Horde, and Shanai and her son-in-law were all called to the expedition.A few months later, the sad news came that Uyang Yixia's husband died in battle. On the same day, Uyang Yixia gave birth to a girl with a gold star between her eyebrows in grief.

Uyang Yixia, who lost her husband, stubbornly believed that it was the birth of this child that took the life of her lover.She hated the child, refused to breastfeed the child, and refused to name the child. Aya had no choice but to take the child back, feed her with milk, name her Cecia, and loved her extremely. Shanai was worried about her daughter, and letters kept coming from the front line asking her about her situation.In order to comfort him, Aya always said that her daughter is very strong and has come out of the huge pain and started a normal life.But in fact, Uyang Yixia's mental state is getting worse and worse. She always shuts herself in the tent, eats less, sleeps less, sees no one, let alone speaks to anyone.Her body became thinner and weaker day by day, and she looked like a madman with unkempt hair. Every time Aya saw her, he was always worried and angry.

Uyang Yixia is always full of resentment towards her daughter.One day, while Aya was out milking, she secretly carried her sleeping daughter out.She hugged her daughter and walked towards Haizi. When she came to Haizi, she stood there for a while. Just when she was about to throw her daughter into Haizi, her daughter suddenly opened her eyes. Two black eyes looked at her. The mouth was slightly opened, and a smile appeared on the pink face. This smile turned out to be so cute, so sweet! It suddenly awakened the sleeping mother's love in Wuyang Yixia's heart, Wuyang Yixia was stunned holding her daughter, and after a while, she knelt on the ground, covering her face and crying loudly.

She cried so sadly that the young daughter seemed to feel her pain, and kicked her two calves vigorously, crying with her, her cry was louder than her mother. The double cry of the mother and daughter attracted Aya, who was anxiously looking for her daughter and granddaughter.Seeing Uyang Yixia, Aya immediately snatched her granddaughter back from her arms.Uyang Yixia was still crying, but her crying gradually weakened and turned into sobs. Aya seemed to understand what Uyang Yixia was going to do very quickly. She held the child with one hand and pulled Uyang Yixia's disheveled hair with the other. Uyang Yixia couldn't break free from her mother's strong hand, and was forced to raise her tearful eyes to face her mother.Aya asked viciously: "Tell me, what exactly are you going to do when you bring the child here?" Uyang Yixia was speechless. "You're going to drown her?" Uyang Yixia shivered involuntarily.Seeing her mother's fierce eyes, she felt fear in her heart for the first time. "yes?" "Mom, I..." Aya gave her daughter a loud slap in the face.Uyang Yixia was knocked down, she looked up at her mother beggingly, a stream of warm blood gushed out of her nose, flowed down from her lips, and dripped onto the grass below her. Aya was still puzzled, she put down the child, grabbed Uyang Yixia's hair and dragged her into Haizi.Wuyang Yixia fell into the sea and struggled to climb back to the shore. She begged Aya: "Mom, don't!" The angry Aya seemed to lose her mind, and insisted on pushing her daughter back into the sea. The mother and daughter were entangled, and the instinct of survival added strength to Uyang Yixia. Aya tried several times but failed to achieve her goal. , Aya was exhausted and sat down on the wet grass. At this time, Cecia, who was thrown alone on the grass, was tired of crying and fell asleep, and she sobbed once or twice in her sleep.Aya glanced at the poor child, jumped up suddenly, pointed at Uyang Yixia and cursed: "You devil! Look at the good things you did! You almost killed Cecia, she is your daughter! Say, tell me, are you a mother? No, tell me, are you a man? You're a devil, a devil!" Uyang Yixia cried and crawled forward a few steps, hugging her mother's leg: "Mom, I don't dare." "You lunatic! I don't want to keep you by my side anymore. Get out of here immediately, as far away as possible, and never let me see you again." "Mom, where do you want me to go? Where can I go except home?" "That's your business. I just don't see you anymore." "I do not go!" "Aren't you going? Well, if you don't go, I will go! Otherwise, sooner or later, I will kill you. You have never been my daughter, and I don't have a daughter like you." After Aya finished speaking, she picked up her granddaughter and left. She didn't walk in the direction of her home, but in the opposite direction.Uyang Yixia knew her mother better than anyone else, she knew that Aya would do what she said, if Aya was cruel enough not to want her anymore, there would be no reason for her to stay in this family. What happened just now was indeed her fault, and she had nothing to say about it. Since her mother was furious at her behavior and couldn't forgive her, she could only be the one who wanted to leave home forever. She caught up with her mother and grabbed her mother's skirt with her hands: "Mom, don't go. I'll go, I'll go far away, and I won't let you see me again." Aya stopped, looking at her daughter relentlessly.The tears that kept flowing down Uyang Yixia's cheeks did not soften her hard heart.Wuyang Yixia knew that it was useless to say anything, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Aya, then stood up and walked towards the distant and unknown world. She staggered, but straightened her thin back. She might still hope to hear her mother's convincing, but from the beginning to the end, her mother was silent. Aya didn't turn around and go home until she could no longer see her daughter in her arms.She does not deny that she forced her own daughter to run away from home, but she never regrets it.The old man who divination to her daughter told her to obey the revelation of Changshengtian. Just now, she seemed to hear the voice of Changshengtian asking her to drive her daughter away. She thought it must be the revelation of Changshengtian, so she did not hesitate. made a choice. Besides, Wuyang Yixia once struggled to climb back to the shore from the sea. Aya knew that her daughter might lose her mind because of the loss of the one she loved, but she had a tenacious will to survive. A person with the will to survive must have a way stay alive. By now, you must have understood that the child, Cecia, was me, and Uyan Yasha was my mother, and Aya and Shanai were my grandmother and grandfather. All these things Aya told me when I was growing up. Aya said that when Shanai returned triumphantly with King Timur's army, she told him calmly that a businessman from the Golden Horde lived in their home a while ago, and the businessman stayed in their house for seven days. When I was with him, my whole person changed, I was no longer so sullen, and I started talking and laughing.The day the businessman left did not mention to her, but when the businessman left, she found that her daughter was gone too. She guessed that her daughter had eloped with the businessman.She thought it was okay, since her daughter left the sad place, at least she could live the life a woman wanted from now on. Sanai believed Aya's lies.Although he is so regretful, although he misses his daughter all the time, as a father, he would rather his daughter get out of the pain of losing her husband as soon as possible and start a new life happily. After Wuyang Yixia left home, she lost all news. No one knew whether she was dead or alive, but Aya believed that she must be alive. When she wanted to push her daughter into the sea, she was sure that no matter what she encountered No matter the situation, the daughter will live on strong. Shanai, who lost her daughter, transferred all his love to me. I grew up day by day under Shanai's spoiling and contradicting Aya. The Venus between my eyebrows became more and more eye-catching, as if a real Venus was embedded in the skin Same, sometimes sparkling in the sun.People call me Venus Cecia, and grown-ups sometimes wonder if I'm an elf reincarnated, but all the kids love to play with me. I don't have Uyang Yixia's beauty, but everyone who likes me thinks my personality is very cute.I don't like being sick as much as Uyang Yixia when I was a child. Changshengtian bestowed me with gold stars and a strong body at the same time.Even if I do get sick occasionally, I don't have to lie in bed, and when I'm sweating from running on the grass, my illnesses tend to heal without treatment. Aya never doubted that the Venus between my brows would bring me enviable luck.When I was eight years old, Aya's premonition became reality.I met a magical woman who led the trajectory of my destiny, flowing from the winding stream all the way until it merged into the rushing river.
