The woman smiled slightly, "I live in a village up in the mountains." As she spoke, she pointed toward the big mountain behind her. "I got lost while gathering herbs and ended up here. I found the houses in the village below so beautiful." She said this with an envious look. "Little girl, are you from this village?"
"Yes, that's our village." Lun Dou nodded her small head proudly, "Our village is the richest in the entire county."
"Is that so? It must be very happy living here. By the way, what's your name?"
"I'm Lun Dou." Lun Dou looked at the woman, "And you?"
"I'm... Ayu." The woman sighed, "My family's house is just a thatched cottage."
Lun Dou didn't say anything.
"Little girl, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Gu."
"What about your mother?"
"My mother's surname is Yang."
Ayu's body shuddered uncontrollably, but quickly she composed herself and twisted her mouth into a smile, "Do you want to go play in the mountains with me?"
