Chapter 200: Flowers and a Full Moon
Ruhan said very emotionally, and Zhao Gang was very moved when he heard it.
"Well, may we always be together and never be apart!" At this moment, Zhao Gang forgot about it, and only had Ruhan in his heart.
"Okay, then let's eat, while eating, while admiring the moon, I'm really curious, I don't know what will happen if the moon suddenly disappears from the sky!" Ruhan picked up a piece of meat and looked at the moon in the sky, full of expectations.
"Baby, my husband will tell you a story about the moon of the tengu, this time is the most appropriate time." Zhao Gang asked.
"Okay, okay, I have loved listening to stories since I was a child, eating delicious food, admiring the moon and listening to stories at the same time, so beautiful and beautiful. Husband, talk about it quickly, I want to listen! Ruhan said eagerly.
"Okay, then I'll tell Ruhan's children the story of Tengu eating the moon...... Ahem......" Zhao Gang deliberately paused, and then continued: "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a son named "Mu Qianlian". He is a good Buddha by nature and a kind person. is very filial to his mother, but his mother is violent by nature, likes and dislikes.
Once, on a whim, she wanted to trick the monks and let them open meat and eat dog meat. She ordered to make a lot of dog meat steamed buns, saying that they were vegetarian steamed buns, and she wanted to go to the temple to fast. When Muren learned about this, he persuaded his mother not to listen, and hurriedly called someone to inform the abbot of the temple. The abbot prepared 360 vegetarian steamed buns. Hidden in the sleeve of each monk's robe. Her mother came to fasting and gave each monk a steamed bun with dog meat. When the monk chanted the Buddha before the meal, he used the vegetarian steamed bun in his sleeve to change the dog meat steamed bun and then ate it. When the woman saw the monks eating her steamed buns, she clapped her hands and laughed, "Today, the monks are eating meat!" The monk eats dog meat steamed buns! The abbot clasped his hands together and chanted aloud: "Amitabha, sin, sin!" Afterwards, he threw the dog meat steamed buns into the back of the temple and buried them with earth.
When the Heavenly Jade Emperor found out about this, he was very angry. Knock the Mother of Mulian into the eighteenth layer of hell and turn her into a vicious dog, and she will never be able to be reborn.
Muren is a dutiful son, and he learns that his mother has gone to hell. He practiced day and night, and finally became the Jizo Bodhisattva. To save his mother, he opened the gates of hell with a tin rod. The Mother of Muren and all the demons escaped from hell and were reborn in the mortal world. After escaping from hell, the mother of Mulian became a vicious dog, because she hated the Jade Emperor very much, so she went to Heaven to find the Jade Emperor to settle accounts. She couldn't find the Jade Emperor, so she went after the sun and the moon, trying to devour them and turn the heavens and the earth into a dark world. This vicious dog chases day and night! When she chased after the moon, she swallowed it in one gulp; Catch up with the sun, and swallow the sun in one bite......" This story, Ruhan has seen it on the Internet, but it is not so vivid and three-dimensional, when it comes to the tengu swallowing the moon, he also grew his mouth, pretending to be a dog, and swallowed a milky little steamed bun on the table, which made Ruhan laugh: "Husband, you told it so well, you can go to our kindergarten downstairs to be a teacher, the children must like it!" ”
"Bad boy, if you don't listen to the story well, you know to make fun of me!" Zhao Gang tapped Ruhan's forehead lightly with chopsticks, and then continued: "The vicious dog that Mulian's mother has become is most afraid of gongs and drums and firecrackers, and the sun and moon that are so scared that the vicious dog swallows them have to spit it out. After the sun and moon were rescued, the sun and moon shone together again and ran again. The vicious dog was unwilling to catch up again, and in this way the eclipses of the sun and the moon in the sky were formed again and again. Folk are called "Tengu eats the sun" and "Tengu eats the moon". Until now, during solar and lunar eclipses, it is still customary to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers to drive away tengus in many places. "Zhao Gang has an excellent memory and never forgets it, this is the story he saw on the Internet, and he told it almost word for word.
After listening to Zhao Gang's speech, Ruhan applauded happily: "Husband, let's also go out and set off firecrackers to scare the tengu away, okay?" ”
"Firecrackers? Besides, setting off firecrackers at this time may not scare the tengu away, but it will attract the neighbors in this building, and they will say, "What are you doing, it's a big night, so you don't let people sleep!" Looking at Ruhan's silly and cute appearance, Zhao Gang laughed as he spoke.
"Humph! My husband will make fun of me, I won't let it go, I'm full, I'm going out to admire the moon, and I can see it more realistically. Ruhan said with a grimace.
"Good! After eating, I will go out with you. Zhao Gang gulped down the meat, which looked particularly sweet.
The two talked and laughed while eating, Ruhan's craftsmanship was very good, and Zhao Gang's appetite was not bad, the two of them served each other vegetables from time to time, and a plate of braised pork was eaten.
"Baby, you're so stingy, you do so little, I haven't eaten enough, I still have to eat!" In front of Ruhan, Zhao Gang is always very relaxed, and sometimes he is naughty like a child.
"Then what should I do, I didn't expect us to eat so much, if my husband likes to eat, I'll make it tomorrow, there is still fresh meat in the refrigerator!" Ruhan replied with some embarrassment.
"Haha...... Silly girl, you have been deceived, I am full, I can't eat anymore, you are a little pig as a husband, how can you eat so much! Seeing Ruhan's annoyed look, Zhao Gang couldn't bear to tease her anymore, and said with a loud laugh.
"Hmph, my husband is the most deceitful, and I'm embarrassed! Since my husband is full, let's go downstairs, I see that the moon seems to have changed, go out and see more clearly. Ruhan stood up excitedly and drank. Shui, help Zhao Gang bring his coat, and he will pull him downstairs.
"Okay, let's go, baby, put on your clothes, put on your hat and gloves, Xingling is not as good as Haicheng, it's very cold at night, plus it's snowing these days, it's going to be even colder." Zhao Gang put on his coat, and helped Ruhan raise the collar and put on his hat. Ruhan enjoyed the beauty of being cared for by him and smiled sweetly.
"Husband, I'm so happy! It's good to have you! ”
"Silly girl, I don't hurt who else can you hurt! Let's go, let's go downstairs! ”
The two put on their shoes and went downstairs hand in hand.
Xingling in January, snow-capped, I can't say when there will be a big or small snowfall, maybe the sky is as people wish, as soon as I go out, Ruhan will see the snow fluttering in the sky.
"It's snowing, it's snowing, I'm seeing snow again!" Ruhan couldn't suppress her excitement, hugged Zhao Gang, looked up at the sky, and let the snow fall on her soft face.
"Husband, the air in Xingling is so good, I like it here, I like this home!"
"Well, my husband knows, the baby knows what my husband said, I will work hard, and it won't be long before we have a home that belongs to the two of us!" Zhao Gang was excited and swore that he would say. He looked down at Ruhan, liked it even more, picked her up violently, and spun around in the snow......
"Husband, I'm so happy, turn faster!" In Zhao Gang's arms, I don't know if she was dizzy or carried away by happiness, Ruhan forgot herself, and forgot the surroundings, Zhao Gang is her world!
Turning to no longer be able to turn, Zhao Gang staggered and put down Ruhan, and the two snuggled up to each other, looking at the moon in the sky that was already slightly red.
"Husband, you see that the moon in the sky is red, and I have never seen a red moon before!" Ruhan sighed.
"Baby, I've heard people say, beautiful girl, if you make a wish to the red moon, most of her wishes will come true, do you want to make a wish, your husband will be your witness." The story of the tengu eating the moon is well-known, but this statement of making a wish on the red moon was made up by Zhao Gang, and he wanted to make Ruhan happy, so he deliberately said so.
Innocent and kind, Ruhan, with a crystal clear heart unique to a childlike girl, what Zhao Gang said, she naturally believed, hearing Zhao Gang say this, she closed her eyes, folded her hands, facing the moon, and silently recited in her heart: "I am Shen Ruhan, I hope that everyone in my family can be healthy and safe, and I hope that with the man in front of me, I will never be separated!" ”
After a while, Ruhan opened her eyes and looked back at Zhao Gang: "Husband, my wish is over." ”
"Oh, what did you wish?" Zhao Gang immediately asked.
"I can't say it, people say it, and if you say it, it won't work. I won't tell you what I made a wish, but I can tell you that my wish has something to do with you! ”
Zhao Gang knew Ruhan very well, even if Ruhan didn't say it, he could guess the content of Ruhan's wish, grabbed her, and held her in his arms.
"Baby, believe me, no matter what wish you make, my husband will help you make it happen!" Zhao Gang looked at the moon in the sky and said thoughtfully.
"Husband, look, the moon seems to be getting smaller and smaller, and the tengu is starting to eat the moon!"
Xingling is a mountain city, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the buildings are only built to seven floors, there are no high-rise buildings, the moon is in people's field of vision at a glance, I don't know when, the people around are also more, three or three together, look up at the slowly changing moon in the sky.
"When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, the height is unbearable, and I dance to find out the shadow, how it seems to be in the world.
Turn Zhu Pavilion, arrive at Qihu, and shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, and what is biased towards other times. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete.
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
Ruhan sang in a low voice, and in the empty courtyard, the voice was particularly quiet.
"Baby, are you cold, do you want to go back?" Zhao Gang enjoyed it very much, but felt Ruhan's body tremble and was a little worried.
"I'm fine, but let's go upstairs, my husband is wearing too little, let's sit under the window and watch together, make some tea, and chat while watching!" Thinking of the good times that are coming, Ruhan's eyes sparkled.
"Okay, baby, let's go upstairs, and you can sing to your husband later." Taking Ruhan's hand, Zhao Gang led her upstairs. (To be continued.)
