Gentle and Tender, Towering Rivers and Mountains (10)
She longed for his strength, his breath, just like him, but how could she? At such a time, in such a way? She instinctively resisted, but could not resist, and could only look at him helplessly.
His heart ached suddenly, and he slowly withdrew his hand, closed the torn slit on her collar, buttoned her shirt slightly, kissed her lips, and said, "I'm sorry!
Her face turned crimson, she sat up, lowered her head and straightened her clothes, and asked, "Are you free during the day today?"
She didn't know that he hadn't slept all night, he remembered that he hadn't been with her for a day here, thought about it and said: "Today's things are also arranged, with Yilin, I will accompany you today, and you will also rest for a day today." ”
She was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Really?"
"Of course. He smiled and took a flower from the bamboo tube, "Today I will accompany you up the mountain to pick flowers, watch the scenery, watch the sunrise, and hunt, okay?"
She stood up and washed up like a wind, and stood in front of him: "Are you ready to go?"
He smiled, took her hand and went out, and said, "Let's go out secretly, otherwise, Jingyuan will bring someone to follow again, and we won't have a good time." ”
As soon as her childishness came up, she also smiled and said, "Okay!"
When the two went out, the sky was not yet bright, the surrounding woods were shrouded in a hazy mist, and the distant mountain peaks were as ethereal as floating in the clouds.
Clouds of gray and wandering white mist burrowed through the rows of towering forests, the ethereal and damp fog was like a dandelion blown away, and the cotton-like mist slowly bounced out in the form of microparticles, drifting into another cloud of mist......
The two walked slowly along a trail side by side, and after walking for a while, Situ Xiao said with a smile: "Riding too slowly to lift your spirits, let's ride faster." With a wave of their whips, the two men galloped forward, kicking up a cloud of dust and disappearing into the mist.
The rays of the sun sprouted from within them, warm and soft through the mist, sprinkled on the rocks, they snuggled up, the soft light flowing along the meridians to the fingertips, the warm current swirling.
The trees in the haze suddenly brightened, the dew on the leaves sparkled like pearls, and beneath the winding mountain path were low houses and sentries wriggling like ants.
He said, "Mengzhu, I'm sorry!" she knew that he was still talking about what had just happened, covered his mouth and "shhhhh
He didn't say anything more, and gently picked up a strand of her hair with his fingertips, which shone like a black jewel in the sun. Now, he is like a traveler in the night, and she is the only shining star in the night sky.
She suddenly pointed to a cliff and shouted, "Look at it, what a beautiful flower!" He looked over, and a red and bright flower, really very gorgeous, like a burning flame in the sun.
"Do you like it?" he asked. "Hmm," she nodded.
He suddenly stood up and ran towards the cliff, and she shouted from behind, "Come back, it's a cliff, it's dangerous!" He turned around, the sun shone on his face, and with a soft smile, he waved his hand, "Pick flowers for you!"
He climbed up the cliff, the cliff was full of rocks, there were few trees, she watched him climb up with difficulty, there seemed to be no focus, her heart hung on the edge of her throat, the sweat on her back was pouring down, for a few flowers, he really died!
He climbed up little by little, and finally climbed to the top, he stood on it and waved at him, and then lowered his head to pick flowers, picked a large bunch, held it in his hand and waved it at her, as if a red flag was fluttering in the wind on the top of the mountain.
She was worried about how he would get down with a bouquet of flowers, when she saw him untie the belt around his waist, tie the flowers on his back, and climb down the cliff. She didn't dare to blink, for fear that she wouldn't be able to see him in the blink of an eye.
He was very calm, and he approached her step by step, and when he finally came down the cliff, she threw herself and pounded his chest desperately, tears streaming down her cheeks.
He smiled and wiped his tears for her and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you see this flower is so weird, there are no leaves." ”
She wiped away her tears and said, "You're really not a worry-free person. ”
"I know it's okay. He smiled and untied the leash and handed it to her, and she took it and looked closely, and each of them had many petals arranged in an umbrella shape and clustered at the top of the stem, and the filament-like petals were radially arranged in a circle, which looked like a small bowl up close, and looked like a hand that stretched out its five fingers to the sky.
Peculiarly, it has bright red flowers at the top, but there is not even a leaf on the stem.
She was calm for a long time, and suddenly thought for a moment, and he asked, "Do you know this flower?"
"Yes," she said, "it's called the Flower of the Other Side." ”
"The other side flower?" he laughed, "I really haven't heard of this flower." ”
"I haven't seen it either, but I've seen pictures of it in books, and it has a very beautiful but very sad story. She took a large bouquet of flowers from him, and dyed her whole face with a bright red color.
"Legend has it that there are two people, the other and the shore, and God has decreed that the two of them will never see each other. They cherished each other and admired each other, and finally one day, they met each other secretly in defiance of the rules of God. After they met, he found that Shore was a beautiful woman, and Shore also found that he was a handsome and dashing young man.
Because of the violation of the rules of heaven, this relationship was finally ruthlessly stifled. Heavenly Court sent down punishment and put a vicious curse on the two of them, making them turn into flowers and leaves of a flower, but this flower is very peculiar, there are flowers but no leaves, and leaves do not see flowers. ”
Situ Xiao looked at the flower in her hand by mistake, waiting for her to speak.
Legend has it that after countless reincarnations, one day the Buddha came here and saw a flower on the ground with extraordinary magnificence, red like fire, so he came to it and looked at it carefully, and saw the mystery at a glance. The Buddha was neither sad nor angry, but looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and reached out to pull the flower out of the ground. Said with emotion: "In the previous life, you couldn't see each other, after countless reincarnations, you couldn't stay in love, the so-called division and union is just fate and fate, you have the curse of heaven, so that you are destined but not dispersed, fate is not divided, I can't help you unravel this vicious spell, so I will take you to the other side, let you bloom all over the field."
On the way to the other side, the Buddha passed by the Santu River in the underworld, and accidentally wet his clothes by the river, and there was the red flower that the Buddha carried, and when the Buddha came to the other side to untie the flower wrapped in the clothes and looked at it again, he found that the fiery red flowers had become pure white, the Buddha pondered for a moment, and laughed loudly: great joy is not as good as great sorrow, it is better to forget than to remember, right and wrong, how can you distinguish it, good flowers, good flowers. The Buddha planted this flower on the other side and called it a mandala flower, and because it was on the other side, he called it the flower of the other side. ”
