Chapter 25 A Song Of Heaven In Grassland
1487 Words
Mu Qianmei replied without thinking after hearing the elder's question.
"The old beggar and old Taoist priest."
"Did they establish the other industries of the Beggar g**g?" The elder asked while drinking.
"I'm not very clear about that. I don't know many people in the Beggar Gang." Mu Qianmei replied calmly.
The elder didn't ask anymore. Although she was clever, she was just a thirteen-year-old child and didn't know much.
They didn't ask, so Mu Qianmei just ate food.
"Now that it happens, I should figure it out. Firstly, I need to know the hatred between the old guy and them. It'll be better if the hatred is solved. If not, I have to think up some solutions."
Mu Qianmei wasn't that relaxed as her expression.
After eating lunch, Mu Qianmei walked to the rear mountain alone.
The mountain on the grassland was just a hill.
Mu Qianmei came to the hill, getting a broad visual field.
"The grassland is a good place!"
Mu Qianmei praised this place.
Some men were monitoring her, not far from her. They were afraid that Mu Qianmei escaped or they could help if she had any trouble.
Mu Qianmei pretended that she didn't discover them. She still walked on the hill.
She looked at the blue sky;
She looked at the green grassland;
She looked at the white sheep;
And she looked at the running horses.
Mu Qianmei remembered the classical grassland song "Heaven" in her previous life.
She sat on the lawn and hummed.
Her singing had a feeling of missing.
Her singing had a feeling of cherishing the memory.
"Life is a dream!"
After humming, Mu Qianmei sighed.
Mu Qianmei's mind was wandering after she hummed "Heaven".
But she felt a little disappointed after a little while.
Mu Qianmei sat on the lawn, with flagging interest, and she was lost in thought.
At noon, graziers came back.
More and more people talked in the yurts, and Mu Qianmei looked at the scene quietly.
She felt familiar but strange.
It was the first time that she felt so lonely and helpless after coming to Yugu Continent.
There was no family.
The happiness belonged to others.
The strange environment.
The strange language.
The weird experience.
What would it happen?
The place that she ever dreamed of most was the vast grassland.
But something had changed.
It turned out that she yearned for the people of the grassland, instead of the grassland!
The sky was blue, the sheep were white, and the horses were running, making people excited.
But where was her passion?
Mu Qianmei was at a loss.
At the moment, a boy and girl about twelve years old with their national clothes ran to Mu Qianmei happily.
Mu Qianmei didn't wake up when they came out.
They saw Mu Qianmei sitting on the hill alone and then stopped smiling, both of whom looking at Mu Qianmei with hostility.
The boy spoke many words pointing at Mu Qianmei, but Mu Qianmei didn't know what he was talking about.
But Mu Qianmei could feel it was a censure with hostility.
The girl stood nearby the boy and looked at Mu Qianmei cautiously. She said some words to the boy, and then the boy reluctantly stopped talking.
The lady who had heard their words walked over while talking to the boy and girl.
The boy stared at Mu Qianmei and then pulled the girl away.
The lady came to Mu Qianmei and found she was disappointed. She asked in a soft voice.
"Miss, what's going on? Do you miss your family?"
"Aunt, I want to know why they hate me?" Mu Qianmei asked in a confused tone.
"It's an old story. That has nothing to do with you at all. We take you here just because Feng Tianyu adopted you."
"We are also arguing about it. Take it easy. I have children. I know you are a good girl. Our leader is wise, and he won't let you feel difficult."
The lady consoled her.
"Is there hatred between the old guy and them? Isn't there a solution to solve it?" Mu Qianmei asked.
"The resentment of the older generation might need to be solved by themselves. I just told our leader not to embarrass you. You come to the grassland, and you are our guest. After they are not angry, I will talk with them. I hope they will bring you back!"
The lady said calmly and sat nearby Mu Qianmei, touching her head.
"Aunt, how should I call you? Thanks for doing all of this for me. I don't know your language, but I know you are helping me all the time." Mu Qianmei said thankfully.
"You call me Aunt Qiyan! Grassland people are straightforward. They took you here just because they couldn't forget the previous hatred. But we clearly distinguish the kindness and hatred and won't make you difficult. Miss, the song you hummed just now is wonderful. It has a distant and deep feeling of the grassland. Could you tell what the song's name is?" The lady asked curiously.
"It's a song about the grassland, named 'Heaven'. A long time ago, a person from the grassland taught me!" Mu Qianmei said with a feeling of cherishing the memory.
"Could you sing it again? Aunt likes it very much!" The lady asked in an expected tone.
"Okay, let me sing it again! I like the song too!" Mu Qianmei replied.
She cleared her throat and sang.
"Blue sky,"
"Clear lake,"
"Green grassland,"
"This is my home,"
"Running horses,"
"White sheep,"
"And the girl,"
"This is my home,"
"I love my home,"
"My home, my heaven,"
"..."
Mu Qianmei, the previous queen of songs, sang the beautiful melody emotionally. The singing had a feeling of deep love.
The lady was intoxicated with the song. She heard Mu Qianmei's humming just now, which was discontinuous. But when Mu Qianmei sang it emotionally, the feeling was different.
"Well, it seems that the person writing the song loves the grassland! Simple words could have such a feeling. You sing it well! Could you tell me what the person from the grassland looks like?"
Women were curious at any time.
"It's a man wearing similar clothes to you, with long hair and a black beard. He is fat." Mu Qianmei replied seriously.
The lady thought for a while, but she didn't expect that there was a man like that on the grassland. She sighed and said in a disappointed tone.
"I don't expect that there is a talent on the grassland, but no one knows him. You are so lucky that he can teach you to sing. Well, let's come back. It's time for dinner."
Then she walked back, pulling Mu Qianmei's hand.
During dinner, there were many people here. Mu Qianmei felt embarrassed. On the one hand, she didn't know their language, and on the other hand, some people looked at her with hatred, making her uneasy.
But the lady talked with her, making her relaxed.
When the dinner almost ended, the lady said to Mu Qianmei in a gentle voice.
"Miss, do you see the gentleman nearby the leader? He is our military master, also good at music. I can play music, and you sing 'Heaven'. What do you think? Maybe it'll be better for you if they hear such a beautiful song."
Mu Qianmei nodded after thinking for a while.
Then the lady stood up and spoke to the people. She asked Mu Qianmei.
"Are you ready? Let's begin!"
The lady took out the morin khuur and played music.
Mu Qianmei sang the classical grassland song again.
The lady was good at music. Otherwise, she wouldn't remember the score only by hearing once and play music.
In the beginning, some people had scorned expression. But after the music began, everyone was lost in the music.
People from the grassland could understand the song better than others.
Especially the military master beside the leader was intoxicated and pleasantly surprised. There was such a wonderful song about the grassland in the world!
He recorded the song while listening.
After singing, Mu Qianmei bowed to everyone and then sat down.
The elder, namely the leader, laughed.
"That's a great song! A little girl could sing a beautiful grassland song, better than those we always listen to!"
The leader praised her, so others also commended her.
In the next few days, Mu Qianmei had nothing to do.
The language was a big problem.
However, she knew some information about this clan.
It was a downfallen clan on the grassland, that is, the Qiyan Clan was famous with "the King of Grassland".
Their leader was the elder about seventy years old. His name was Jiri Gele.
The lady's name was Tana. She was the leader's daughter.
Mu Qianmei heard Tana's description these days, and she knew that Feng Tianyu was an accidental factor causing the Qiyan Clan's downfall.
