Chapter 573: Comparing Wings
An old-fashioned but embarrassing story is told from the mouth of Yingmei.
Brother Liu's mother was ill, and in order to raise medical expenses, he committed himself to a rich family as a slave, and took care of flowers and plants in the garden all day long.
Occasionally, I saw the daughter of the rich family, Yingmei, and suddenly fell in love, but I didn't dare to climb high because I knew that my identity was high, so I could only watch from afar, and take Yingmei's smile as my greatest pleasure.
Sister Ying raises a canary, with a sweet and beautiful call, and often goes to the garden to play, but never cares about Brother Liu.
Until one day, the canary died, Sister Ying was heartbroken, she didn't think about tea and dinner, and she was emaciated, and Brother Liu felt pain in her eyes.
Yingmei's father bought a lot of rare birds, hoping to win the joy of Yingmei, but none of them could make a canary-like call, Yingmei was stunned, and missed the dead canary even more.
After a long time, Sister Yingmei became depressed and became ill, the medicine stone was ineffective, and her life was on the verge of death.
One morning, the dying warbler suddenly heard a long-lost cry, which was the same as the previous canary, and it was suspected that the bird had come back from the dead.
Under the joy, his spirit doubled, and he hurriedly called the maid in the house to go out to see what was going on.
The canary did not appear, but the warbler girl found Brother Liu who was bowing his head and crying happily in the flowers and grass.
After some inquiry, Sister Ying learned Brother Liu's true feelings.
It turns out that Brother Liu is good at imitating the chirping of birds since he was a child, as long as it is an ordinary bird that often haunts the woods in the back mountain, he can imitate it almost realistically.
Seeing that Yingmei was in pain for the death of the canary, Brother Liu tried to imitate the canary's cry to ease Yingmei's worries.
However, the canary is not a vulgar bird, it is rare to see it on weekdays, and it is too difficult to imitate it when you hear a few calls occasionally.
Brother Liu was unpopular and saw that Yingmei was getting haggard, so he racked his brains to recall the canary's cry and tried his best to imitate it.
After a period of hard work, Brother Liu finally had some confidence in his imitation.
Afraid of being seen by others, Brother Liu lurked in the flowers and plants not far from Sister Ying's boudoir early in the morning, secretly imitating the canary's call.
Unexpectedly, Sister Ying, who missed the canary, dragged her sick body along with the cry and exposed Brother Liu's deception.
Although she was slightly disappointed, Sister Ying was grateful for Brother Liu's thoughts, and not only forgave Brother Liu, but also became good friends with him.
Brother Liu, whose mother has passed away, has had a crush on Yingmei for a long time, and since then he has tried his best to imitate various birdsongs to make Yingmei happy.
Slowly, Sister Ying's body recovered, and she also fell in love with Brother Liu for a long time, and she secretly agreed.
And Brother Liu was favored by Sister Ying, and he was so happy that he forgot his identity as a slave, and boldly spent time with Sister Ying, with deep affection.
On the day when the two of them were honest, Brother Liu was overjoyed, and he sang loudly, and even attracted all the birds within a radius of dozens of miles.
For a time, the warblers in the garden sang and danced, beaming with joy, allowing the lovers to enjoy the best time of their lives.
However, since ancient times, there has been affection and hatred, and perfect love often ends in tragedy.
The love between Brother Liu and Sister Yingmei is also not long-lasting, and the two are looking forward to a better future, and they are unexpectedly happy and sad.
It was that time when a hundred birds congratulated each other that alarmed Yingmei's father.
How can a rich daughter who is as beautiful as a flower marry the lonely and helpless Brother Liu, if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, it will not ruin her reputation if it spreads.
Yingmei's father couldn't bear to reprimand his beloved daughter, so he threw his anger on Brother Liu, who was immersed in happiness.
A group of family members beat Brother Liu violently, and dragged Brother Liu, who was covered in bruises, ready to throw his body into the river.
When Yingmei heard this, she thundered like thunder, and under the rush of fire, she vomited blood and died.
Soon after Yingmei died of anger, a beautiful bird jumped out of her heart.
Single-winged, one-eyed, one-legged, only the right body, can't fly or scream, only jumps on one leg, but the speed is extremely fast.
But in a moment, the little bird chased to the river and saw Brother Liu, who was still breathing.
Brother Liu, who was still struggling, saw the bird jumping over, shed a drop of hot tears, and then closed his eyes tightly and let Jia Ding throw his body into the river.
Just as Brother Liu's body was about to fall to the surface of the river, a small bird also flew out of his heart.
It is also one-winged and one-legged, but it is on the left side, opposite the bird that jumped before.
The two birds meet, their bodies come together, and they spread their wings and fly into the air.
"Winged birds?"
Yichen has heard this story from adults since he was a child.
Yingmei's heart has become the right body, Brother Liu's heart has become the left body, the two are in one place, the two hearts have become one, Brother Liu sings beautiful songs every day, and Yingmei soars in the sky together.
Flying with wings, inseparable, witnessing the steadfastness of love is also the greatest affirmation of the true love of Brother Liu and Yingmei.
Such a story has been circulated for a long time, and people will only envy the sweet love of Brother Liu and Sister Ying, and who can understand the bitterness and pain in it.
Unfortunately, this so-called happy ending is not the final ending. ”
Yingmei choked, as if she had infinite resentment, but she suppressed it as much as possible.
It is said that bystanders are confused by the authorities, but in fact there are many things, and the bystanders simply cannot stand in the perspective of the parties concerned.
The real ups and downs can only be understood by those who have experienced it firsthand, so that they will never forget it.
"This, it seems to be ......"
Yichen couldn't say words of comfort, it was obvious that Brother Liu and Sister Ying were trapped in the Yin and Yang gap of Huangquan, and the winged bird had long been gone.
The endings of those beautiful legends are really just wishful thinking of those who do not know the truth, or the result of idealization, which is very different from the truth.
"Alas......"
After a long resentment, Sister Ying couldn't cry anymore.
If you can't love each other in the world, you can be regarded as a kind of happiness if you can't love each other in the world, and become a bird flying like wings.
Brother Liu and Sister Yingmei didn't expect that their true love would actually move the heavens, so that the two of them could survive in this form.
In addition to gratitude, the two no longer regret it, and are only willing to maintain this sweet love for a long time.
The story of the winged bird can end here, but the ordeal of Brother Liu and Sister Yingmei has just begun.
A sudden disaster swept the originally happy winged bird into the yin and yang gap of the Yellow Spring.
As Yichen saw, between the underground space and the Yellow Spring Crack, there were countless resentful spirits wandering.
Although the winged bird is not human, it is also a living creature full of vigorous vitality, and as soon as it enters the underground space, it is besieged by a group of resentful spirits.
Brother Liu and Sister Ying, in the face of the overwhelming swarming resentful spirits, they have already been in chaos, how can they resist countless fierce and vicious resentful spirits without cultivation.
However, in a moment, the body of the winged bird was forcibly occupied by the resentful spirits, and the soul of the poor brother and sister Liu was ruthlessly expelled by the resentful spirits.
Resentful spirits are souls that have died in vain, and after a long period of repression, they are full of resentment and anger, and since they cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation, they pin their hopes of rebirth on borrowing corpses to resurrect their souls.
Trying to seize the body of a living creature, go uphill, enter the area of human life, receive the nourishment of human breath, and create conditions for his own rebirth.
In fact, even the higher-ranking spirits themselves know that such an approach may not really succeed, and that it is more likely to be futile and even dissipate on its own.
However, the temptation to live is too great, and even failure cannot stop many resentful spirits from thinking of being reborn.
Brother Liu, who has been deprived of her body and has nowhere to hide, has to try to avoid the attacks and devouring of some resentful spirits.
Fortunately, the relationship between the two is stronger than Jin, and they have not lost their senses, and they are looking for a place to live while dealing with resentful spirits.
"Originally, there was no winged flower in the yin and yang gap, and it was only after we came. ”
In Yingmei's sad and indignant tone, there seemed to be a little more relief.
Although no one saw her face, Yichen could still easily feel that Sister Ying was a little proud at the moment.
At that time, in the gap between yin and yang, there were only three or two plants with no flowers and no grass, lying half-dead on the ground.
The souls of the two were chased by the resentful spirits, and seeing that there was nowhere to escape, they had no choice but to attach themselves to one of the flowers and plants.
It was an expedient measure, waiting for the resentful spirits to leave before making a plan, but for several days, many resentful spirits gathered near the flowers and plants, with the intention of waiting for the rabbit.
In desperation, Brother Liu and Sister Ying could only use flowers and plants as their temporary shelter.
Thinking that in order to stick to love, they suffered many twists and turns, and the two couldn't help but feel sad, and the resentment between the yin and yang was very heavy, and the time was not long, and the two were haunted by resentment and couldn't extricate themselves.
After a year like this, the flower and plant actually showed vitality after absorbing the resentment of Brother Liu and Sister Yingmei.
After changing the previous decline, two small flowers gradually grew on the originally withered yellow stem.
The two little peanuts are in the same position, standing side by side and growing with their backs, Brother Liu's soul is hidden in the red flowers, and the soul of the warbler sister is hidden in the black flowers.
Although the soul is separated, the heart is in one place, not as free as the winged bird, and it is also blooming and blooming.
can find a chance to survive in despair, the two cherish it very much, so they rely on this flower and plant to convey the love of both parties.
is in a desperate situation between yin and yang, and does not expect to return to the outside world when it comes, as long as the two accompany each other, even if it is like this, there will be no regrets.
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
From two people who love each other, to the winged birds that live and fly together, to the pedicles that dwell in the flowers and plants.
Brother Liu and Sister Ying, who have looked down on the vicissitudes of the world, can get along with their beloved day and night, Brother Liu occasionally sings a song, Sister Ying says something considerate, and the rest has nothing else to ask for.
But in fact, their last bit of comfort was quickly deprived.
One day, Brother Liu and Sister Yingmei suddenly found that the two had lost contact with each other, and no matter how they called, they couldn't get an answer from the other party.
What is even more unacceptable is that between the red and black flowers, there is an impassable barrier that completely separates the souls of the two.
Later, they learned that this is the so-called yin and yang separation!
