"Man'er, how did you come to the capital?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Man'er said: "My mother-in-law brought me here."
"Where is your mother-in-law?"
"The two mothers-in-law are dead. Not long after we arrived in the capital, they left one after another." Man'er looked a little sad when he talked about them.
Man'er's eyebrows were filled with sadness, "My mother-in-law was sick when she came here. We had no money at that time and life was very hard. We didn't even have food. Where can I get medical treatment? I'm young and I don't know how to make money yet."
Yuan Qingling patted her hand gently, comforted her, and then asked, "How old were you when you came to Beijing?"
Man'er thought for a while, "How old are you? I don't remember very well. I think you are five or six years old, or eight or nine years old?"
"I don't remember how old I am? So do you have any impression of your parents?" Yuan Qingling remembered that she had mentioned her hometown and her parents, but she didn't pay much attention at the time and didn't remember how she was doing it.
Said.
Man'er was a little confused, "Mom and Dad? My parents have died a long time ago, right?"
"Is he dead?" Yuan Qingling looked at her hesitant expression, "Are you not sure? But I heard you talk about home before, and it seems that you also mentioned your parents or family members."
"Is there any?" Man'er was startled, and stretched out his hand to press his head, "But I don't quite remember it."
"Do you always forget things?" Yuan Qingling looked serious. She did have some problems with her memory. Sometimes she suddenly remembered something, and sometimes she forgot it completely. Could it be that she was sick?
Man'er said distressedly: "It's not that I forget things all the time, it's just that... I don't know what to say, but my mind is a little confused and blank, as if there is a stone blocking a place in my mind.
That place is inaccessible."
Yuan Qingling looked at her in surprise, "Did someone cast a spell on you, like ecstasy? It's the kind of witchcraft spell you have in southern Xinjiang."
"No, this slave is also a person who knows how to cast curses. If someone casts a curse on you, you will know it." Man'er said firmly, after a pause, she suddenly said: "By the way, I have hurt my head before.
, I don’t know if it’s because of this.”
"When did you fall and get hurt?"
"My mother-in-law said it, but I don't remember when I was when I fell and got hurt," Man'er said.
"My mother-in-law said that? It's been a long time since your mother-in-law died. Do you know when you learned the Southern Xinjiang spell?"
Man'er thought for a while and said, "It should be when you are a few years old. Anyway, we southern Xinjiang people start learning it from an early age. We are immersed in it and can learn it quickly."
"Then how much do you know about the witches and wizards in northern Xinjiang?" Yuan Qingling asked again.
Man'er said: "If you know something, what do you want to ask, Princess?"
"There are two witches in the north of Xinjiang. One is an old friend. Who is the other? Do you know?"
"The other one..." Man'er thought for a while, "The other one has been missing for a long time, and I just found the second witch. I remember hearing my mother-in-law say that the witch's name is Mu Qingqing."
"Mu Qingqing?" Yuan Qingling looked at her, "Last question, Man'er, do you know someone named Aunt Qing?"
