Seven Strings in Dreams

Meng Xianyu felt very uncomfortable, with a headache and discomfort all over her body. Meng Xianyu didn't know where she was, but at least she was still alive.

Meng Xianyu's eyelids were heavy and she couldn't open them. She was very thirsty. Someone gave her some water to make her feel better. She was in so much pain that she soon fell into a coma again.

Meng Xianyu was found by local fishermen on the shore after a storm. She was placed in the home of the village chief and taken care of by the chief's two little daughters.

When Meng Xianyu woke up, she found herself in a small room. The room was filled with a lot of clutter. There were some dried fish hanging on the ceiling. There was a fishy smell in the room.

Meng Xianyu found that she couldn't move at all and had no strength at all. She could only lie there weakly. She wanted to call for help but no sound came out. Her throat was sore.

Meng Xianyu had no choice but to close her eyes and rest. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, and she thought she would be in the hospital when she woke up.

Could it be that he had already arrived at the small fishing village where the woman was? But that was not right, the conditions in this small fishing village were too simple.

I heard that the small fishing village has escaped poverty with the support of the government, so it shouldn’t be so shabby!

With a creak, the door opened and someone came in. Meng Xianyu thought about it but didn't open her eyes.

Someone touched Meng Xianyu's head and said, "The fever is finally gone."

The voice sounds very childish.

Meng Xianyu opened her eyes curiously. The other person was a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing strange ethnic minority clothes, very traditional ones.

When Meng Xianyu opened her eyes, the little girl happened to go to get the medicine, so she didn't notice that Meng Xianyu woke up. When she turned around and found Meng Xianyu looking at her with big eyes, she was startled and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Meng Xianyu: "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Little girl: "You...you wake up, I'll go call someone"

Meng Xianyu: "Hey, that..."

The little girl ran away like a frightened rabbit.

Meng Xianyu thought about the little girl's outfit and couldn't figure out which ethnic minority's tradition it was. The key point was that half of the little girl's face was painted with a strange totem.

Meng Xianyu was not familiar with these things. She knew it was a totem because Mu Jiujiu often taught her about these things.

Meng Xianyu is good at physical, musical and aesthetic arts, including singing, dancing, painting, playing the piano and playing games, but she knows nothing about humanities and history.

Fortunately, the little girl came back soon, bringing a little girl wearing a mask.

The little girl in the mask had only her eyes exposed and she had some beautiful accessories on her body, which made a tinkling sound with every step she took.

Masked woman: "Girl, you are awake. Wu Na will help you."

After saying that, the masked woman began to check Meng Xianyu's injuries.

Meng Xianyu: "Your name is Wu Na? Hello, my name is Xianyu"

Totem girl: "Your name is Xianyu? You are..."

Wu Na: "Liya, go make some fish porridge. She just woke up and needs nutrition."

Leah: “Okay”

Wu Na followed Liya out and gave her a few instructions.

The general idea is that Meng Xianyu's origins are unknown, so we need to observe her first. In short, let Liya talk less.

Wu Na came back, looked at Meng Xianyu, and decided to talk to her.

Wu Na: "Miss Xianyu, our place is shabby and we don't have any extra rooms. I'm sorry for putting you there! Do you still remember why you were washed up on the shore?"

Xianyu: "I came here to look for someone. After the storm passed, I thought everything was fine, so I took a small fishing boat here. Unexpectedly, a big wave overturned the small fishing boat."

Wu Na: "Then do you remember what the fisherman looks like?"

Xianyu: “Remember”

Wu Na: "We rarely have outsiders here, don't worry, your injuries are all external. I tied you up to prevent you from moving around, and also fed you some medicine. I will give you the antidote later, but you must not move around!"

Xianyu: “Okay, thank you.”

Wu Na first untied Meng Xianyu, then helped her sit up. She took out a small purse made of animal skin from her waist, and poured out a pill that looked like a red candy.

Wu Na: "Xianyu, I will explain your situation to the elders. You were able to survive the storm because you were protected by the Sea Goddess. At first we didn't know where you came from and thought you were an outsider. So we fed you a pill. This is the antidote. Take it!"

Meng Xianyu was completely confused. She didn't even have the strength to raise her hands. She didn't know what was going on in this small fishing village, nor did she know what the girl named Wu Na said. She herself must be an outsider!

However, Meng Xianyu could only pretend to understand Wu Na's meaning and accepted the pill, which she didn't know whether it was poisonous or not.

This must be an extremely xenophobic fishing village. Meng Xianyu didn't know if the person she was looking for was here, but since she was alive, she had to try her best to survive.

After Meng Xianyu took the pills, she felt some reactions on her body, starting with her toes and fingers, where she began to feel numbness.

Wu Na: "Xianyu, you have been sleeping for five days. Our body shapes are similar. I will go get you a set of clothes to change into. Don't move, wait for me!"

Meng Xianyu could finally nod.

After Wu Na left, Meng Xianyu's eyes returned to herself. She was very surprised. Wu Na said that her body shape was similar to hers. It was impossible! Wu Na was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a skinny body and no development at all. She was only about 1.55 meters tall.

She is already 28 years old. Although she is thin, she is not as thin as Wu Na. Could it be that she has lost too much weight in the past few days? No way!

My body is numb and tingling, it's so uncomfortable! Meng Xianyu simply closed her eyes and thought about things. If this is a small fishing village, should I go find the woman who is suspected to be my biological mother? And will the women in the small fishing village be like Wu Na and Li Ya, either wearing masks or with totems painted on their faces.

This village is so closed. If the villagers knew that the woman had a child outside the small fishing village, would it have a bad influence on her?

Meng Xianyu is a kind person. Although she longs for the love of her family, if this love has to be built on the pain of others, then she would rather bear it herself.

But her appearance has been seen by the people in the small fishing village. If Aunt Liu said that she looked very similar to that woman, then the people in the small fishing village should have discovered it. Or do the people in the small fishing village not know each other's true appearance?

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Meng Xianyu's wandering thoughts.

Liya: "Sister Xianyu, can I come in?"

Meng Xianyu quite likes this enthusiastic little girl.

Meng Xianyu: "Come in!"

Liya: "Sister Xianyu, Sister Wuna said she had something to do, so she asked me to bring you some clothes. I'll help you change into them!"

Meng Xianyu: "I can come by myself in a moment"

Liya: "Sister Wu Na and I have already helped you change your clothes before, don't be angry! When we first found you, your clothes were tattered. Although you were wearing men's clothes, Sister Wu Na could tell at a glance that you were a girl. Sister Wu Na and I were the only two women there at the time, so we had to help you change your clothes."

Meng Xianyu had a question mark on her face: "You said I was wearing men's clothes?"

Liya: "Yes, I have washed your clothes for you and they will be repaired soon."

Meng Xianyu felt that something was wrong. How could she be wearing men's clothes? What on earth had happened?

Meng Xianyu did not refuse again. With the help of Liya, she changed into a dress. The dress was sky blue, not as bright as the one Wu Na wore just now.

Liya: "Sister Xianyu is so pretty"

Meng Xianyu regained some strength and found that Wu Na's skirt was not short at all on her. Meng Xianyu tried hard to raise her hands. No, Meng Xianyu looked at these hands in horror. These hands looked very similar to her own, but they were definitely not hers.

Her newly done nails were gone, and her hands were prettier than these hands. Although these hands were also pretty, the palms were a little rough, obviously a pair of hands that were often worked on.

She pays great attention to taking care of her hands because she loves music and playing the piano, and she cares most about her hands.

Meng Xianyu spent much more time taking care of her hands than her face. When Meng Xianyu saw these hands clearly, her heart collapsed! She was not only in a strange environment, but she might even have changed her identity? Was it a soul swap? Or was it that her real self was dead? Did she travel through time?

Liya: "Sister Xianyu, Sister Xianyu, are you feeling unwell again?"

Meng Xianyu came back to her senses: "It's okay, just a little numb"

Liya: "Why are you staring at your hands, Sister Xianyu? Sister Xianyu's hands are so beautiful!"

Meng Xianyu: "Does it look good?"

Meng Xianyu suddenly remembered something. There was a mole on the palm of her left hand. She and her good friend Mu Jiujiu both had this mole. Seeing that the mole was still there, she suddenly felt that it didn't seem so heavy. No matter what, as long as you are alive, there will be a day when they meet again. If there is really no such day, she will write down all her past stories to prevent forgetting them when she is old!

An uncle's voice came from outside the door, and Liya went out after hearing it.

Soon Leah came back.

Liya: "Uncle Guli came to tell you that Wu Na told the elders and Saint Aunt about you. Sister Wu Na asked you to move in with her. Eat something first! I made you some fish porridge. I'll take you there after you finish eating!"

Meng Xianyu: "Elder? Saint Aunt?"

Liya: "Well, the leader of our tribe is called the Saint. She has four Saint Ladies under her. Each Saint Ladies has four elders under her. They are responsible for protecting small fishing villages like ours."

Meng Xianyu: "Tribe?"

Liya: "You may not know much about our tribe. I will tell you when I have time. Don't worry, the people in the tribe are very nice, at least better than yours. If you like, you can come here to find me and Sister Wu Na when you recover from your injury!"

Meng Xianyu: "Are you and Wu Na sisters?"

Liya: "She is my sister, but now she has been chosen by the Saint to be a disciple, so she no longer belongs to our family, she belongs to the entire tribe!"

Meng Xianyu couldn't hold the bowl, so Liya fed her most of it.

Meng Xianyu felt that she was confused by what she heard. It seemed that she had to play dumb and heal her wounds first!
