It is said that after the village king separated from Narcissus, he sat on the road and recalled the scene when he entered the mountain. He recalled that the snow had drifted away on the second night, and when he felt lost in his heart, he sighed and returned home.
The village king opened the door, and a hoarse voice came over: "Why are you back so late? Be careful that the mountain breeze may catch you cold. We have prepared hot water for you, especially with herbs in it. You can use it when taking a bath."
Bubbles to get rid of the cold air."
The village king just responded with "oh, oh".
The village king's whole body was soaked in the water, and he couldn't help but think about the late night when he entered the village in the first place.
On the second night with him, Xueer told him the customs of welcoming guests. In the next four nights, Xueer told him many interesting things about the village, such as catching white mice, singing love songs, fetching water with soft handkerchiefs, etc.
They all left a deep impression on the village king.
However, it was the last three nights that impressed the village king more deeply. After so many years, the details are still fresh in his memory, and the past is like yesterday.
The village king squinted his eyes slightly while soaking in the water, wanting to attract Xue'er to him immediately.
However, his wife's hoarse voice when he entered made it impossible for him to call Xue'er back.
This feeling was just like the seventh night of the year when I entered the mountain. That night, Zheng Shuang, the king of the village, was waiting for Xue'er to arrive in his room. However, the time passed minute by minute, but Xue'er did not come. Zheng Shuang
Waiting anxiously, but not daring to be reckless.
Zheng Shuang watched the time go by second by second. When it was half an hour longer than usual, the village king and his wife came together.
The village king said that starting from today, Xueer will not come to this room.
For the last three nights, you go to Xueer's room. Come on, come with us! When the village king said this, he changed from his usual amiable attitude. Zheng Shuang saw the village king's serious face and his wife's stiff expression,
Not daring to ask any more questions, I had to follow them obediently.
They brought Zheng Shuang to Xueer's room. What appeared in front of Zheng Shuang was a strange picture: a particularly large wooden bed in the middle of the room. There was a straightened thread in the middle of the big bed.
The bed is divided into two, with a quilt placed on each side of the line.
After the village king brought Zheng Shuang in, he touched Xue'er's head and said, "Dad, I believe in you." After saying that, the village king turned around and went out. Zheng Shuang, Xue'er's mother, and Xue'er stayed in the room.
, no one spoke anymore, and the air seemed to have stopped flowing.
After a while, the village king came in. He brought a bowl full of water and said, "Teacher Zheng, this is the legendary Zhencao water." Then he put the water in the middle of the line in the middle of the bed. A straight line
The straight line turned into an arc in a blink of an eye, as if a skilled painter had drawn a simple smiling face with one stroke. However, Zheng Shuang didn't smile, and there was a sudden fear in his heart.
Because he knew that drinking chastity water was too dangerous! The village king turned around and said: "Teacher Zheng, tonight, you and Xueer will share the same bed, and they will sleep on each side. Go to sleep!" After saying this, he felt weird.
He glanced at Zheng Shuang.
This glance made Zheng Shuang feel that the village king was completely different from usual. This glance made Zheng Shuang shiver. Zheng Shuang's body trembled instinctively. Just when Zheng Shuang was trembling, the village king
Wang and his wife had already left the house.
There were only Zheng Shuang and Xueer in the room.
The tung oil light on the desk flickered, blinking provocative eyes at Zheng Shuang like a naughty ghost from the underworld. Zheng Shuang was so scared that his heart beat loudly. Zheng Shuang saw the bowl of chastity water pressed on the line and thought of it.
He read the love story Xueer told him on the fifth night.
The protagonist of the story is a stone on the mountain behind the village. The stone is shaped like the word "mountain" and was named because of love - "Thinking of Chang'e".
Because Xueer showed Zheng Shuang the stone during the day, Zheng Shuang didn't find anything special about the stone. However, when Xueer talked about it, Zheng Shuang felt it was as beautiful as poetry.
Xueer said that although the lovely stone "Si Chang'e" is not as precious as Changhua's "Soapstone", Shishan's "Tianhuang Stone" and Qingtian's "frozen stone", it is not a soft stone that can be bent by hand, nor can it be bent when struck.
A ringstone that can make a pleasant tinkling sound, let alone a landscape stone that can show patterns of hanging rocks, waterfalls, birds and animals, and exotic flowers and plants. But the love of this stone will move everyone.
This ordinary stone boldly pursued love and actually fell in love with Chang'e on the moon. The stone fell in love with Chang'e because it understood Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan". The stone often fell in love at night because of missing the girl who was far away in the sky.
He stayed up all night long because of his lover Chang'e.
This stone has a stone eye, and that eye is a stone candle. When the stone cannot sleep, it extinguishes the candle and misses the moonlight.
At this time, the moonlight shines on the stone, making it feel the loveliness of the distant lover. But the stone knows that it is too ordinary and cannot bring happiness to the distant lover, so it can only stare at the lover on the moon blankly. The stone just
Staring blankly like this.
When Xue'er said this, her expression turned dull, and there were already crystal tears in her eyes. At that moment, Zheng Shuang was moved by Xue'er's innocence and her poetic narration.
.Xueer paused and continued to narrate the love story of Stone.
Xueer said that Shitou was just in love with Chang'e. Year after year, a hundred years passed... Shitou was still looking at it like that, looking at it. Shitou's infatuation moved Chang'e, and Chang'e used the moonlight like practice.
Putting it through the eye of the needle, Chang'e began to weave moss-green clothes on the stone stitch by stitch.
Chang'e often sighed and shed tears in the intervals between flying needles.
The stone did not expect that Chang'e would shed tears for it. It foolishly thought that it was moistened by dew. The stone is a stone after all, and its heart is not so delicate. It did not feel that Chang'e was crying for it. It was just intoxicated in the illusion of love.
.
When Xueer said this, she sighed deeply and didn't know whether to ask herself or Zheng Shuang: Who said that since ancient times, infatuated women have been heartless? Once a man is infatuated, isn't it more likely to move the world?
Zheng Shuang didn't answer, he was thinking about Xue'er's thoughts. Xue'er continued her narration, and Stone, who was in the illusion of love, couldn't help chanting: "The bright moon rises on the sea, and we are together at the end of the world. Lovers complain about the distant night, but unexpectedly
I wake up in the evening and miss my lovesickness. I extinguish the candles and feel the full light of pity. I feel the dew in my clothes. I can’t hold my hand as a gift, but I still have a good night’s sleep.” Shitou chanted and fell into a dream.
Shitou really met his lover Chang'e in his dream! When Shitou woke up from his sweet dream, he found that his hand was stretching towards the sky, forming a "mountain" with his head. Shitou felt that this gesture was pointing towards the sky.
My beloved Chang'e proposed to me. She liked this gesture so much.
In fact, Shitou's dream is not a dream, it is real love. Chang'e was afraid that Shitou would feel cold, so when Shitou felt that he was falling asleep, Chang'e put on the moss-green dress for Shitou - a green coat knitted by herself.
The stone didn't know that the green color on its body was the clothes woven by Chang'e. It just felt that it was very comfortable. He felt that this posture was too graceful and comfortable. So the stone never moved again and kept the shape of the word "mountain" forever.
.
After Xueer finished speaking, she asked Zheng Shuang: "Is this love story beautiful?"
"Love is beautiful, but reality is cruel! Do you want to hear my story?" Zheng Shuang asked.
"I think, please tell me." Xueer looked at him curiously with her eyes wide open.
Zheng Shuang then told his story.
It turned out that Zheng Shuang had always done very well in school. However, because his family was too poor, he began to get angry with his transcripts after he entered high school without telling his parents. There were monthly exams every month in his senior year of high school, and Zheng Shuang's transcripts were given to his parents.
Look, it's getting worse every time.
When the college entrance examination was approaching, that is, after receiving his high school diploma, Zheng Shuang told his parents that he would not be able to go to college and would not go to school. In the future, he could rest assured that his younger brother could study. Seeing his poor grades, his parents had no hope, so they could only sigh and put their hope in it.
On his brother.
In fact, every time the report card came to Zheng Shuang's hands, he was ranked first in the class. He cut out his name and swapped it with the name of the next one, pasted it with transparent tape and copied it.
Show the copied notice to his parents. What his parents see is that his grades have declined again and again.
When Zheng Shuang did this, he saw a news report about a child from a poor family who was admitted to a key university, but his family could not afford to support his studies. His father blamed himself and committed suicide.
Zheng Shuang was shocked when he saw this report. He was afraid that his father would be like the father in the report. Zheng Shuang loved his family and his father even more. He was willing to be misunderstood by his family so that his younger brother could study and for his parents not to blame themselves.
Zheng Shuang finally took the college entrance examination, but he deliberately did not answer many questions during the exam, and as a result, his score did not go up.
When the results came out, his father sighed: "What a fate! I thought my son had always been a top student in school, but who would have thought that he would fall apart at the critical moment of his senior year in high school. Alas!" Zheng Shuang comforted his parents, saying that his younger brother's grades were good and he would be good at college in the future.
hopefully.
Soon, Zheng Shuang heard that he could take the exam to become a private teacher. He originally planned to go out to work and signed up for the exam. He got first place in the exam and entered the village.
After hearing Zheng Shuang's story, Xueer felt full of admiration for him.
