Chapter 797: Twins
"It's boring. I don't want to play anymore."
After saying that, the woman turned around and left.
Just as Lu Zhiang was about to chase out, he saw Mu Beichuan walking towards him.
"Beichuan, what just happened was..."
"My sister." Mu Beichuan was calm.
"No, she is not Wanjun."
"I didn't say she was Wanjun." Mu Beichuan's words made Lu Zhiang confused again. Fortunately, this guy was smart, otherwise his brain capacity would not be enough.
"You mean..." Lu Zhiang probably understood something.
"She's my sister too."
"Her name is Mu Wanyin."
"He Wanjun and she are twin sisters. She is the younger one."
Lu Zhiang: ...
Although it was outrageous, he believed that this was the only answer.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"I thought I'd seen her many years ago. It turns out she's Wanjun's twin sister."
Mu Beichuan nodded.
Lu Zhiang had another question, "But why haven't I heard you mention it in all these years? Wanjun hasn't mentioned it either, and there's no information available outside. It's so strange."
"Because she...is the Saint of my clan."
"Saint?" As soon as this word came out, I was immediately pulled back to the world of Jin Yong's novels.
It's the 21st century, and there's still this stuff?
Looking at Lu Zhiang's incredible expression, Mu Beichuan sat down calmly and poured himself a cup of tea.
"You don't have to feel weird."
"Society is progressing, and we are also keeping pace with the times, but the things left by our ancestors cannot be cut off. We in southern Sichuan have always had saints, and Wanyin is the saint of this generation."
"As a saint, you cannot marry or leave the family."
"My lifelong mission is to protect the family, its treasures and secrets."
"Protect the tribe and complete the exploration journey of our ancestors."
"What exploration?" Lu Zhiang was curious.
"This is a bit confidential, so I won't tell you. If you know too much, it will be bad for you." Mu Beichuan said.
"But...why her? Not Wanjun?" Lu Zhiang asked again.
"Good question. This is also the key to Wanjun's rebellion and leaving Southern Sichuan."
"The Saint Selection Ceremony takes place when they are ten years old."
"According to our customs here, a tenth birthday is a big celebration."
"The family held a grand ceremony for them."
"At the same time, lots were drawn to determine their fate."
"There are actually quite a few female members of the Mu family in southern Sichuan, but their birth dates are most suitable for the Saint Girl, the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour. Grandma said that this is God's will and cannot be violated. Although my parents are reluctant, they have no choice."
"So, this decision was made by drawing lots when they were ten years old."
"Whoever draws the pentagram will stay and become the Saint."
"Those who fail the election can leave southern Sichuan, get out of the mountains, and live the lives of ordinary people."
"A saint cannot marry or fall in love throughout her life, and must remain a virgin."
"So, in comparison, Wanjun is much happier."
"She can go to college and make friends."
"Go fall in love and live the way you want."
"And Wanyin can't do anything." Mu Beichuan narrated everything calmly.
But what Lu Zhiang heard was a storm in his heart.
In other words, if the person who stayed behind was Mu Wanjun, then he might not have met her?
Fate is sometimes really cruel.
A single thought can make the fate of the twins completely different.
Lu Zhiang remained silent, feeling a little heavy-hearted.
"You want to see Wanjun, right?"
"Yes, where is she?"
"I know you're deliberately not letting me see her. We can discuss any requests you have. Please let me see her."
Mu Wanjun has been heartbroken for many days, and Lu Zhiang is always worried.
The longing has reached its peak.
"Actually, I didn't mean to prevent you from seeing her. It was Wanjun who made a mistake." Then, Mu Beichuan told Lu Zhiang why his sister was under house arrest.
After hearing this, Lu Zhiang was a little dumbfounded.
"It's because of Tu Ran?"
"But Tu Ran is her best friend." Lu Zhiang emphasized.
"I know, I can understand, but my family can't understand it, and neither can Grandma. Grandma's words are the highest order, and we can't disobey. Actually, Grandma isn't that pedantic. She probably calculated Tu Ran's birth date and time, and that person is a bit eccentric. Grandma doesn't want Wanjun to get close to him, fearing that she might die."
"Wanjun and Wanyin grew up with Grandma until they were ten years old. Grandma loved them very much. That's why she wanted to protect them. As for this house arrest, it must be that Wanjun made a huge mistake. She probably didn't tell you."
Lu Zhiang actually knew what it was, and it was indeed risky.
It is understandable that the Mu family is angry.
Mu Wanjun was almost taken away by the people from the underground city.
There is nothing more terrifying than this.
"Then can I see her? I miss her very much." Lu Zhiang said.
"Of course you can, but..."
Speaking of this, Mu Beichuan hesitated.
"Beichuan, you and I are no longer strangers. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
“It’s just that Grandma has a condition.”
"If you want to see her, you have to cross the Black Maple Bridge."
"You can only see her after you cross the Black Maple Bridge."
"I think... this might be Grandma wanting to see your sincerity and the depth of your feelings for Wanjun."
"Where is Black Maple Bridge?" Lu Zhiang was stunned.
Mu Beichuan put down his teacup with a serious expression, "It's a very dangerous place, that's all I can say."
"Sure, I'll go."
"Take me there now."
"Would you like to reconsider it?"
"Or you can go back to Xiangcheng now, and we will pretend that you have never been here." Mu Beichuan said.
This sentence angered Lu Zhiang, "What do you mean by that? Wanjun and I are about to get engaged, how can I just pretend that I never came? Am I such an irresponsible person?"
"It's mainly because you delayed the engagement party, which made the whole family unhappy."
"I was definitely wrong in this matter. I am willing to apologize to your Mu family. No matter what the reason is, I was the one who broke my promise first."
"But I won't leave."
"But your friend seems to have had an accident in Xiangcheng."
After Mu Beichuan reminded him, Lu Zhiang immediately understood something.
Maybe he picked up his charged cell phone.
Then turn on the computer.
As expected.
Something terrible happened to the Xie family, the old lady died! !
He really had to rush back to attend the funeral.
"I really should go back to Xiangcheng."
"But before I go back, I want to see Wanjun."
"Beichuan, take me to that Black Maple Bridge."
"I'm not afraid." Lu Zhiang knew that these ethnic minorities were not easy to mess with.
If Mu Beichuan said that Black Maple Bridge was a very dangerous place, then it must be full of dangers.
"In that case, follow me."
Mu Beichuan probably guessed Lu Zhiang's choice. How could he leave so easily?
In other words, if he really left like this, he would probably never be able to enter the Mu family again.
Perhaps Lu will never see Mu Wanjun again in this life.
After Lu Zhiang finished packing, he followed Mu Beichuan alone and headed towards the Black Maple Bridge from the small path.
Inside the Mu family's old house.
Mu's parents, grandma, and Mu Wanyin were all watching the clear surveillance footage.
"He went to Black Maple Bridge so determinedly."
"Maybe they don't know what's there."
"I really don't know if he will pee his pants when he sees that thing." Mu Wanyin laughed sarcastically.
