Chapter 25: The Blood of Camellias

Once upon a time, the city of Jinhua was full of camellias. The distinction between winter and summer in Jinhua Prefecture www.biquge.info is not obvious, so all kinds of camellia flowers can be seen everywhere in Jinhua City all year round.

The people of Jinhua City love camellia as much as they love their children. Even sometimes the love for camellia is more than the love for children, and some parents are angry with their children, and they can't help but beat and scold. But the camellia is very cared for, for fear of losing a penny. If a child injures the camellia at home while playing, most of the adults will have to say it harshly.

People love camellias, so they also respect flower farmers. Flower farmers have an important place in the city. The protagonist of the story is the daughter of the flower farmer, and we will call her Ah Cha. Ah Cha's parents are the best flower farmers in Jinhua City.

Ah Cha is a very beautiful woman, as beautiful as a camellia. According to her mother, when she was pregnant with her, she dreamed of camellia flowers every night, and even woke up with the fragrance of camellia flowers lingering on the tip of her nose. Ah Cha has always believed that this is because the yard of the family is full of various camellias.

Her mother also said that when she was born, her father saw all the camellia in the courtyard open at once. On that day, all the camellias within a radius of ten miles of Jinhua City were in full bloom, and afterwards the people in the city said that Jinhua City ushered in the greatest auspiciousness in a hundred years. But that was when his father didn't know, he only knew that in the middle of summer this year, when the camellia was at its peak, he had an extra girl.

Ah Cha has been carefree in Jinhua City until he is sixteen years old.

Until one day, a young man came to the door to learn art. After the boy knelt outside the courtyard gate for three days and three nights, his father took him in. The boy followed his father in and out of the city every day, one day to see the east house for insect disease, and tomorrow to the west house to prune the branches and leaves. My father always praised this young man to his mother in private, saying that he was talented and intelligent, and he had a relationship with camellia, and he could teach him everything on weekdays. Sometimes he can see the problems that he didn't notice, as if the flower opened her mouth to tell him. My father always said that at first, my mother should make peace with her, but later my mother became impatient. Once choked my father at the dinner table: "Speaking of having a relationship with camellia, who can compare to our family's tea?" Eat well! ”

From then on, Ah Cha had been obsessed with the boy, carefully keeping an eye on him and paying attention to the things that his father had said about him. The boy's name is "Shimu", a strange name. People are also strange that when my father was apprenticed for two years, he always went from Mao Shi to Youshi, unlike other apprentices who ate and lived in the master's house. looks delicate and quiet, just like his father.

On the winter solstice of the second year, his father left Shimu for dinner. Shimu originally refused, but he couldn't bear his father's forced stay, so he had to stay.

That night, there were only two masters and apprentices at the dinner table, and the mother dragged Ah Cha to sew and mend clothes in the room. The master and apprentice drank until the middle of the night, when the wine was hot, and the father said the idea of marrying Acha Xu to Shimu. Shimu was overjoyed, and responded without thinking about it.

After two months, Ah Cha passed the door. Eighteen years old, a girl of the same age as a flower is unbelievably beautiful. On the wedding night, the girl's carcass was so dazzled that the world was dizzy, this night was a love affair, Chu Yun Xiangyu, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal.

After the marriage, Ah Cha followed Seki to his place. It is a valley outside the city, with an acre of square pond, a wooden house, and camellia flowers all over the mountain.

On the second day of the wedding, Shiki surprises Acha.

As soon as he woke up that morning, Ah Cha found that Shiki was not in the house. She saw that the colorful crystal dust on the ground paved a path that stretched out to the door. She got up and pushed the door open, her gaze following the dust all the way to the edge of the pond.

The morning sun was bright and clean, and it slouched into the valley. Under the morning sun, a pool of blue water is full of white camellias. One by one, one by one, in the sun, on the blue water presents a moving beauty. The breeze came, and the fragrant fragrance of the camellia was sent to the nose of the tea by the smoked wind, and the tea was crazy at that moment. She felt like she was surrounded by warm happiness.

On that day, the bright morning sun, the rippling water and the white and warm white camellia filled the heart of the new wife, and the beauty of the whole world seemed to be placed in front of her at once. In such a good time, the creator of all this, her husband, is naturally the best, most considerate and understanding husband in the world.

Even if she is married, Ah Cha is still difficult to change the feelings of a girl. Girlish feelings are always poetry. When Michao returned to the door, she was full of joy and told her mother about the happiness that her husband had created for him, like a child who had a good toy to show off.

The daughter's joy came from the heart, so the mother laughed too, but it was ugly.

My father heard about it, too. With a gloomy face, his father called Shiki to the front hall. I don't know what the two said. Ah Cha only remembers that when she left, only her mother came to see her husband and herself. On the way home, my husband's face sank like water and he didn't say a word. When she asked him, he didn't reply. She was also angry at the time. The two fell silent all the way.

After returning to the wooden house outside the city, my husband said that he would go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables for cooking. She was still angry, so she let out a heavy "um".

They had dinner a little late that night, because her husband had almost gotten lost when he returned. Ah Cha laughed, he had lived in this mountain for so many years, and he would still get lost. He smiled and didn't refute.

After all, it's a newlywed, and it's the time to be like glue. The husband is gentle and considerate, and Ah Cha also has a soft personality. The unpleasantness of returning to the door was quickly forgotten by the two.

The husband is good in everything, but there is only one thing that is not happy. After more than half a year of marriage, her husband was not allowed to enter the city by herself.

Once, she slipped into the city while her husband was entering the mountains. When she returned home, she saw the closed courtyard gate, and when she opened the courtyard door, she saw the withered camellia all over the yard. Her soul was lost at once. In a panic, I ran to my neighbor's house and asked. When the neighbor saw her, she was very surprised, blaming her parents for not coming back to see her parents for half a year.

Half a year ago, the day after she returned, neighbors found her parents dead at home. The two of them died in a horrible state, as if they had been sucked dry of blood by something, and they were crumpled into a ball, and they couldn't even see their human appearances. If it weren't for the clothes or the familiar ones, the neighbors wouldn't be sure. After the government came to see it, there was no clue at all. After a delay of half a year, it seems that this matter is about to be over.

Acha listened to the neighbor and walked out of the neighbor's house like a walking corpse. Before leaving, the neighbor seemed to remember something, and stuffed a ball of cloth in her hand, saying that she found it in her mother's hand when she was taking care of her parents' funeral.

Ah Cha didn't know how he got back to the valley. Entering the cabin, she mechanically opened the cloth and found it to be a crystal clear flake that looked like butterfly wings, with dust sticking to it and shining with colorful light.

Seeing this thin slice, Ah Cha suddenly figured out everything before and after. That night she plunged a pair of scissors into her husband's chest and watched him transform into a giant colorful butterfly in front of her.

The butterfly had no heart, and she couldn't kill him at that moment. The butterfly demon was furious, and with a flap of his wings, he fanned her to the corner of the wall, and shouted hoarsely at her: "Where can I not stand you, why do you want to harm me?" How can you despise my love like this? ”

Her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of death: "Where can't my parents stop you?" You're going to kill them? ”

The butterfly demon was furious when he heard this, "I have been with him for two years, and I am still his son-in-law, just because I folded the white camellia in the whole city, he counted me like crazy." Why can't I kill him? No, I didn't kill him, I ate him. The butterfly demon let out a maniacal laugh.

Ah Cha couldn't believe it, "This is such a trivial matter? ”

"It's no small thing. No one can insult me, even if I call him a master. ”

Ah Cha stood up from the ground with difficulty, and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, it's a butterfly demon who only knows how to ask for it." It's just that our family is blind. She walked out step by step.

The butterfly demon shouted from behind, what are you going to do?

I can't kill you before I die, so I'll turn into a ghost after death and kill you again.

Ah Cha plunged scissors into his neck in front of his parents' favorite white camellia, and the gurgling blood splattered on the white camellia, staining the camellia red and the goose feather snow falling from the sky.

When I died, it rained and snowed, and the snow that fell on my corpse was stained red with my blood. Since then, I've been called "Ayaki".
