In the mist-shrouded ancient tribe "Wazhai", the priest's daughter Yina gave birth to three sons who were good at singing and dancing. When she was pregnant with her fourth child, she prayed to the mountain gods day and night, asking for a daughter who could inherit the priest's bloodline.
The mountain god agreed - his daughter Atu was born with a beautiful face and eyes like morning stars.
But at the age of four, Ah Tu was still silent. He only liked to squat by the stream and look at the stones, and in the medicine garden and stare at the plants. The villagers whispered: "There was a mute fool in the priest's family, and the mountain god took away her voice."
Until the geological expedition team accidentally broke into this isolated mountain.
The instruments in the hands of the team members buzzed wildly against the cliff behind the village - that was the reaction of the rare mineral veins. But Ah Tu just stretched out his little hand, pressed it gently on the rock wall, turned around and gestured to his mother:
"The mountain is talking, it says there is a baby in its belly."
From that day on, the little mute who had been laughed at for ten years became a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science. She can understand the secret language of rocks, recognize the memory of herbs, and see the veins of water and soil.
Three brothers protected her and broke out of the mountains:
The eldest brother Chicuo glared at the outsider: "My sister can talk to mountains and rivers!"
The second brother Qingcuo showed Atu's ore map: "Look, my sister drew it!"
Third brother Lancuo held out a pile of plant notes: "They are all my sister's discoveries!"
And that young researcher Lin Xi, who always followed the geological team at the end and had handsome features, silently put away all contempt. He knelt down and looked level with Atu: "Can you teach me the 'language of the mountains' you heard?"
