This mountainous area was originally inhabited by many monsters. The land of Jiutian Kingdom is limited, but the population is increasing year by year. People's territory is gradually expanding here, but getting along with monsters is not harmonious.
Fortunately, the two sides reached an unwritten agreement. Although the two sides occasionally clashed, they were not always bloody. Every three to five months, I heard whose child was captured and whose child was beaten to death on the mountain.
Monsters are not a new thing. Throughout the year, accidents rarely happen. At that time, Xue Mo traveled among villages all year round, bringing needs and knowledge from here and there. Both adults and children liked him and respected him.
he.
One day, a young woodcutter was cutting firewood in the forest. The trees near the village were all cut down because several families got married at the same time and built many houses. His father and mother's elderly people also lived in the village, so
My father's legs and feet were handicapped, and he was the only one who could chop wood for three families. The young man worked very hard and went deep into the woods without knowing it.
He saw a woman in the woods - a beautiful woman. Her eyes were as charming as silk, her blond hair was like soft gold, and her eyes were like blazing fire. She sat on a branch of a tree, and on a whim, she teased the young woodcutter.
.
The two got to know each other and exchanged names. The sun was about to set, and he suddenly realized that he was chatting and had forgotten the important task of chopping firewood. But when he turned around, he found that his firewood basket was already filled with dry firewood.
. He felt strange, but the girl said that he had filled the basket when he came. He scratched his head and smiled honestly.
The young man was an honest man. He told his family everything he saw and heard. His parents and sister said that he was stupid, possessed by evil spirits, or had encountered a mountain demon. He didn't believe it, so his sister said that the only ones with blond hair were
People from outside the sea will go to see the king.
How could he come to such a remote place and suffer such hardship? Besides, what the foreign people are saying is foreign language, how can he understand it? So either he is making up lies, or he has hit a monster, and he is really lucky to get him back safely. From now on.
, you should go to that kind of place less, otherwise you will be eaten by monsters sooner or later.
Although the blond girl is a little naughty, she is so kind, how could she harm him?
He went there the next day, and the blond girl was still there. The young woodcutter said that his family told him that she must be a monster. Unexpectedly, the girl admitted it openly and said: "Yes, I am a monster.
It is the Garuda monster."
He was a little scared, but after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't believe it. The two of them chatted one by one until it got dark. After the sun went down, the woodcutter's firewood was full again.
Although the woodcutter was honest, he was not too stupid. He could figure out the reason after repeated calculations. One day he told the Garuda girl that he believed she was a monster and he wanted to see the girl's true body. She disagreed and said that you humans
They all judge people by their appearance. If she changes back to her original form, he will definitely be scared away and never come to see her again like the people in the past. Woodcutter
He promised again and again, but the bird girl still didn't listen, and he was very disappointed. Later, he heard in the village that venomous snake gall was something Garuda liked, so he took the risk to catch snakes in the mountains. When he didn't show up in front of the woman as promised, she
The woodcutter was anxious. When he almost died from the snake's mouth, he was saved by the Garuda girl. It was really a big python.
"Are you stupid? Big pythons are not poisonous. And we don't eat ordinary venomous snakes."
"You like Naga, I know." The woodcutter patted his chest with lingering fear, "They say this kind of snake demon is very big."
"You are such a fool."
"I thought you liked it."
Garuda girl blushed. She knew that the young woodcutter was at a curious age. In order to prevent him from getting into more trouble in the future, she agreed to show him the prototype. She never thought that her real body was
A monster with a human face and a bird's body. Although it still has a beautiful face, it feels a bit forced and nondescript.
The woodcutter laughed.
When he saw the woman's strange expression, he immediately covered his mouth and apologized. On the contrary, Garuda was very strange, because everyone was scared away before, but the woodcutter was not, and he still smiled so happily.
The woodcutter carried the big snake back, causing quite a stir. He said that monsters were helping him, and the villagers slowly began to believe it. Gradually, some people also said that they had seen him and the blond hair in his mouth in the woods.
Banshee. Passed on ten times
100, let's talk about it. Human nature is always jealous. Men can't stand him, and women are afraid. It's obviously a heroic thing to eliminate harm for the people, but the woodcutter found that since then
From then on, life gradually became difficult.
He was very sad and told Garuda about his feelings. The bird girl thought about it and said, if you don't mind, come to the mountains and live with me. Although when she was still in the egg, her parents
Just tell her that humans can’t be trusted. Garuda will only break out of its shell when it reaches adulthood. When she was born, her parents were gone. As she grew up, she met bad people, good people, and more.
People are afraid of her and stay away from her.
The two of them had already secretly been in love, and they were just one step away from becoming a bird in the same forest. But the woodcutter was worried and felt that it was better to say hello to his parents, so he asked the bird girl to wait for her - he would definitely come and marry her.
The bird girl agreed.
Bird Girl never saw him again.
At that time, Garuda girl was already pregnant. When she found out, there was still no news from the young woodcutter. She began to wonder if she would encounter any danger or something happen? But she didn’t hear any monsters saying that eating
The people who cut wood were nothing more than two families of children and several families of chickens and ducks. She did not dare to go to the woodcutter's village, because there were too many people there anyway.
When her belly had swelled slightly and her round outline could be seen, she met a knowledgeable iron-eating beast in the forest. The iron-eating beast was a little surprised when he saw her.
"I didn't expect you to have a good life and be pregnant."
"Who are you?" Bird Girl asked.
"I am a friend of your parents..."
"Friends?"
She didn't believe it at first, so she pulled the iron-eating beast to ask questions. He listed some stories and songs that her parents had told and sang when she was still in the shell. Then she believed it and asked her about her father.
Where is my mother?
Killed by humans.
Humans made a feather coat from the feathers of a pair of golden-winged birds, which symbolized the love between husband and wife and they could grow old together. This gorgeous feather coat was presented as a tribute to the king's fourth daughter. The fourth princess was to marry to a vast continent in the north and be the wife of a prince.
.People want the princess to go there in glory and not lose face. Along with the princess, the dowry will include feather clothes, soul-returning incense and other unique treasures of the country.
"Human beings cannot be trusted." She murmured.
"I didn't want to tell you... Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if I say it. When you grow up, as a mother, you should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. But, not all humans are evil, they..."
The bird girl turned into her prototype and flew away without listening to what he said next.
All the monsters in the mountains knew that the silly orphan Garuda was pregnant with a human child. They told the story over and over again like a joke and never tired of it. There were also kind-hearted monsters who protected her and prevented the monsters from fighting with each other.
There were also evil-minded monsters who said they had seen the woodcutter marry a village girl and did not want her anymore.
She didn't want to believe it and didn't want to see it.
Later, the child was born, a healthy boy. Her eggs were not hard enough and were soft, so they were easily torn apart by the child. But when the child came out, she was dumbfounded - the eggs had only been laid for a few days, and they were actually
A baby hatched out of nowhere. Garuda was not supposed to be like this... Moreover, the odor of human milk was too strong on her body, and she felt at a loss.
She still brought up her child, and suffered all the looks from the demon clan. The child gradually grew up. At first, when he asked about his father, she comforted him that one day his father would pick up his mother, and she was waiting for him too.
They were waiting for this day together. But no matter whether they were humans or monsters, a lonely person
A mother, with a fragile child, will suffer a lot wherever she goes. In order to survive, she slowly changes, becomes stronger, and also becomes capricious. Her emotions are often out of control, especially when she sees
The weak son who is growing up always has a hint of bitterness in his heart.
"You are really looking more and more like your dad."
This statement has changed over the years.
The child doesn't know why, but his mother is getting weirder and weirder. He can still clearly remember how gentle his mother was when he was a child. But due to the pressure of life, they often go hungry, and even go to the villagers' houses to steal chickens and dogs.
.Among monsters, this is something that only low-level little monsters who can’t even change shape would do.
His mother became more and more surly and crazy. She never mentioned anything about his father again, and would beat him when he was annoyed. After the beating, her mother would hug him and cry. He lived in fear, walking on thin ice, not knowing what day he would be beaten.
Scolding and beating, this is not the case
It's better than starving. From "Human beings are all liars, except your father who is good" to "Human beings are all liars, especially your father who killed a thousand swords", he didn't know why he became such a rhetoric, and
How to listen, see and discern.
He just realized from his mother: his father didn't want them anymore, and his father also lied to his mother.
Hundreds of years have passed.
People in this mountainous area live to their sixties or seventies. Presumably his father has died long ago, but his mother has never let go of her hatred. He feels that his father is indeed cruel, but he has no real feelings. It is just that his mother chants it day and night, like a mantra.
general words
The sentence lingered in his ears, and he had some... views on human beings in his heart. But he also didn't like monsters, because monsters also laughed at him, bullied him, and said he was a half-demon that was not popular. Whether he loved him or hated him, it was all him.
Something I never really understood.
Later, by chance, they were able to visit their father's grave.
The old man guarding the tomb was not afraid of monsters. He looked at the year on the tombstone and said slowly: "He... must be from my father's generation. It's just that he passed away early, more than eighty years ago."
Already."
"How come?" he asked.
"I heard that he wanted to marry a monster. His father got angry and slapped him. He hit his head on the corner of the table and died."
