Chapter 3 The Legend of the Bellflower Flower
Leng Lime came out of Leng Yan's separate ward. It has been raining for the past two days, and the bellflower flowers in the garden can be clearly seen on the terrace on the third floor. That was the position chosen by his grandfather, and when he thought of this, Leng Ling couldn't help but outline a smile on the corner of his mouth.
I remember when I was eight years old, my mother was gone, and she was looking for her everywhere alone and didn't want to go back to Leng's house. It was her grandfather and his men, and when they found her, she was already asleep in the corner of the beach. He was also covered with a strange man's coat.
Later, when she returned to Leng's house, she remained silent. Grandpa took her to plant this white bellflower together.
My grandfather was digging through the soil in the garden with a shovel and asked, "Do you know the name of this white flower, it has a beautiful story?"
Leng Ling looked at the seedlings of these bellflower flowers with dull eyes, although she didn't know their names, but when she saw these flowers, she felt that her mood would be much more relaxed. She looked at Leng Yan slowly and shook her head.
Leng Yan watched her go home for so many days, and finally had some spirit, "This is a bellflower flower, a white bellflower flower." ”
Leng Ning reached out and picked up a flower seedling and stared, staring at it with his little head, looking left and right, "What is... Kikyo tweed"
Leng Yan looked at her and said kindly, "This bellflower has a beautiful legend, do we want to hear it?"
Children love to listen to stories, and Leng Ling is no exception, she blinked, looked at Leng Yan and whispered, "Well, listen." ”
Leng Yan put down the tools in his hand, looked at Leng Ling in front of him, blinked with big eyes, and began to tell the story, "A long, long time ago, there lived a girl named Kikyo in a small mountain village, Kikyo has no parents, but she is kind-hearted, helpful, and very beautiful, so the people in the village like her very much.
"In the village, there is also a good and positive boy who admired and bonded with bellflower when he was very young. Almost every day, I will say to Kikyo: "Kikyo, when I grow up, I must marry you, I will marry you and take care of you for the rest of my life." Kikyo also has a deep impression of him, so he often replies, "I want to marry you when I grow up, I want to marry you, and we will take care of each other for the rest of our lives." That's how the two made an agreement.
Leng Ning looked at him and stopped, and asked anxiously, "What about later?"
"Later. That is, after a few years, Kikyo grew into a beautiful young lady, and the boy grew into a handsome young man, and the two became a pair of lovers. Later, in order to live, and to be able to give Kikyo a better life after getting married. The young man decides to make a lot of money and comes back to marry Kikyo. So he had to go far, far away in a big boat to go to the sea to fish.
Before leaving, the young man kept telling Kikyo, "Kikyo, you must wait for me, I will definitely come back." When it was time to separate, Kikyo hugged him hard, "Remember to come back, I will definitely wait for you", watching, the young man set off towards the sea, farther and farther, Kikyo kept crying.
Leng Ning couldn't help but want to know the result as soon as possible when he heard this, and asked in a whisper, "Then what about later, is he coming back?" ”
Later, the young man whom Kikyo loved did not come back after ten years, and Kikyo looked at the sea every day, and he was sad and sad every day, and his heart was like a knife. Therefore, she decided to go to the temple for the time being to spend the rest of her waiting days.
"Master, please teach me how to calm my heart." Daily thoughts and waiting, constantly eroding her heart. She couldn't stand the growing pain. He learned from the master in the temple.
"Nan no Amitabha, if you want to calm the fluctuations in your heart, you must first empty your heart and don't be entangled by the marriage in your heart. Don't worry, expect, or miss. There will be no more confusion and anxiety. The master said.
According to the master's proposal, the more determined the bellflower is, the more he is empty-hearted. The more turbulent her heart is, the more turbulent she is, she can't forget it, she can't let go, it's her beloved. They made a pact that she believed he would return. He won't abandon her, and she won't give up waiting for him. ”
So she always ran to the beach, day after day, year after year, and after a few decades, the bellflower slowly became an old man, looking at the bellflower of the sea, thinking of the young man who never came back, her lover, and kept leaving tears. Perhaps tired, Kikyo slowly closed her eyes, and her body turned into a beautiful little flower. Swaying in the sea breeze.
Later, people called that flower bellflower flower, and people said that maybe it was the true feelings of bellflower that moved the sea god. couldn't bear to let her die, so he turned her into a flower. The bellflower faces the endless place of the sea every day, looking for the figure of the young man. Under the protection of heaven and earth, she guards her love and the lover she looks forward to from afar. “
"Therefore, the flower language of the bellflower is endowed as: eternal love, unrepentant, sincere, hopeless love"
"Grandpa, why didn't the young man come back?" Leng Ling said, tears sliding down her eyes. Leng Yan looked at his precious granddaughter, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and gently stroked her head and shoulders, "Lemon, life is very fragile, and so are people, we never know if we will be safe tomorrow." So everyone's experience is different, and we don't know what risks the young man went through, so he didn't fulfill his agreement with Kikyo. But the living must always live well, and it is meaningful to have a inheritance and continuation of life. ”
"Will Mom come back? She, obviously... Obviously I made an agreement with Lemon. Ling Ning obediently and well-grows up. She'll bring her dad to see Lemon. Leng Ling cried.
"Lemon, don't cry, don't cry. Mom will want you to grow up well and live well. She's only been far away, but she's always thinking about you, Guardian of you. Mom also has her own life and choices. Leng Yan comforted Xiao Leng Ling who was sitting in his arms, and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, the most painful thing in the world is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person. How could he be a man of stone. That's his precious daughter.
"Grandpa, don't cry, Mom, she'll be back, right? She agreed with me. Ningning won't cry anymore, Ningning will be obedient. Live well with your grandfather. When Lemon grows up, Mom will bring Dad to see Lemon and Grandpa. Xiao Lengning whimpered and said these words while clumsily wiping Leng Yan's tears with her little hands. finally howled and cried in Leng Yan's arms.
Thinking of this, Leng Ling looked at the bellflower and burst into tears. Although she was only eight years old at that time, how could she not know the intention of her grandfather to tell the bellflower flower. The young man didn't come back, and the mother didn't come back.
Sticking to her promise with her mother is just that she doesn't want to. My grandfather was worried about her because he lost his mother, so he deceived himself. In the past ten years, she and her grandfather have relied on each other. It was also from that year that she became extraordinarily sensible and well-behaved. At the same time, they are much more reticent than children of the same age.
Because she knows that she has to grow up well and take care of her grandfather, her only support and relatives in this world. But now that her grandfather is unconscious, she suddenly realized that without her grandfather's support, she is still useless and can't protect the Leng family.
"Little Miss, don't be sad, a gentleman just called and said that he had a way to help the Leng family through the crisis and wanted to meet Miss. Wu's mother, who had just answered the phone, walked up from the hall excitedly, and saw Leng Ning standing on the terrace wiping her tears, Xu is thinking of sad things again, Miss has never liked to cry, the old man is sick and the affairs of the group, she must be under pressure.
"Sir, did he tell her what her name was?" Leng Ning asked suspiciously when she heard Wu's mother's words.
"He just said that his surname is Lan Mingqi, and he is helping the young master of his family make an appointment with you. ”
"Blue. . . Among the few people I knew about my grandfather's business, there was no one with the surname Lan. Who is the young master of his family? . . . Leng Ning whispered back to the people she had seen, and there was no such surname.
"I know, Mother Wu, you can set the time, and notify me when it's set. Tell this young master of Mr. Lan's family that I am willing to meet him. Leng Ling commanded. Wu's mother answered, and went down to reply.
Leng Ning looked at Leng Yan's private ward, and through the window, she saw Leng Yan lying there calmly. Grandpa, whoever it is, as long as he can help us now, Ningning is willing to give it a try. Rest well and get better as soon as possible. Leng's Group is your life's work, and I will definitely protect it.
