Chapter 002: Erotic Love and Plain Love
Back in Niujiazhuang, the scene in front of him made Niu Tianzi feel three points familiar and seven points unfamiliar.
Is this the original Niujiazhuang?
There seem to be more houses here, Zhuangzi is bigger, and the appearance has changed greatly. If it weren't for the Bilian Pond at the east end of Zhuangzi, Niu Tianzi would almost not have believed that this was the Niujiazhuang where he lived in his childhood.
He took off his cowhide gown, folded it and shrunk like a handkerchief, and then put it in a pocket with bobbin nails.
With the vague memories of his childhood, Niu Tianzi found the place where his home was.
Where else is there a home? The original house is gone, leaving only ruins and basil in sight. Niu Tianzi was suspicious in his heart, could he have made a mistake?
Fortunately, there was an old man sitting in front of the house next to him, and Niu Tianzi hurriedly stepped forward.
Coming to the old man, Niu Tianzi gave a slight salute, and then asked politely: "Old man, may I ask you, where is Cowherd's home?" ”
"Cow ...... Man? The old man's eyes widened with astonishment. After being stunned for a while, he muttered, "Before, I seemed to have heard my father say that his grandfather had a younger brother named Cowherd, and then somehow he ran away with his daughter-in-law with the child, and he never saw him again." You are ......"
Niu Tianzi gasped, and the whole person was stunned.
Could it really be such an exaggeration as "one day in the sky, a thousand years in the world"? Time on earth is much faster than time in the heavenly realm? It's only been more than ten years, is it already a hundred years old in the world?
Could it be that his mean uncles and aunts have long since passed away? This old man is the great-grandson of his uncle and aunts? Is it the nephew of his Niu Tianzi?
Niu Tianzi looked at the old man in a daze for a while.
He originally wanted to talk to the old man a few more words, but after thinking about it, he couldn't tell the old man clearly anyway, and the old man wouldn't believe it, so he asked for a few pieces of paper, thanked the old man, and went straight to the Bilian Pond in the east of Zhuangtou.
The old appearance of the Bilian Pond is still there.
The water in the pond is clear and rippling, and the ripples are like practice; The shore is crystal clear, and the distance is like a cover; The surrounding grass is lush and the trees are lush; Dragonflies hovering among the flowers and plants, and butterflies flying.
Niu Tianzi came to the grave where his father buried the old cow, but saw that the grave had increased a lot for some reason, and it became a small hill with green grass and trees and wild flowers like stars.
Niu Tianzi knelt down in front of the grave, lit the paper, knelt on the ground with both hands, and kowtowed to pay respects.
Gradually, I saw a puff of green smoke rising from the grave. Niu Tianzi suddenly felt that his mind was confused, as if he was hallucinating, dizzy, and fainted in front of the grave......
In a trance, Niu Tianzi saw the old cow of his family running towards him happily, so he stepped forward in surprise, hugged the old cow's neck, and kissed it on the face.
Suddenly, I saw the old cow shake his ears, wag his tail, and "moo" happily, and turned into an old man with white hair.
Niu Tianzi stood up straight in confusion, looked at the white-haired old man in surprise, and said suspiciously: "You are ......"
"Oh ho ho, I'm Taurus." The white-haired old man seemed to have expected Niu Tianzi's arrival, and responded with a smile and unhurriedly.
"You're Uncle Taurus?" Niu Tianzi understood that this white-haired old man was the old cow of their family, who was originally descended from Taurus, and his mother Weaver Girl had mentioned it to him.
"Hmm." Uncle Taurus stroked his long white beard, nodded, and then said kindly, "Son of Heaven, didn't your father take you to the Heavenly Realm?" How did you come back again? ”
Niu Tianzi looked at Uncle Taurus for a while, pondered for a while, and then said that his father took their brothers and sisters to the heavenly realm, and their parents were blocked by the queen mother in the sky with the heavenly river.
"Hehehehe...... I understand, your parents don't want you to live a lonely and lonely life like them, and want you to come back to complete your marriage and love - find a daughter-in-law and live an ordinary human life, right? Uncle Taurus smiled.
Niu Tianzi's face was embarrassed, and he lowered his head and muttered: "Yes...... It's what Mom and Dad mean. ”
This kid, I'm sorry.
Uncle Taurus smiled slightly, and then asked, "Say, do you want to ...... Looking for a simple girl, or do you want to find a fair beauty? ”
"Yes, of course...... It's to find someone who is handsome and beautiful and makes you feel excited. Although Niu Tianzi was like a gnat, he still insisted, "I don't want to...... I don't want to make do with it. ”
Uncle Taurus smiled again when he heard this, and said, "Hehehehe, you kid, you are stupid with your father...... I understand, you don't want to be in love - find a mediocre woman or an ugly girl, get married, but want to be in love - find a fairy beauty and the best girl, and pursue the perfection of marriage and love. ”
"Yan ...... Erotic love? Niu Tianzi raised his head, puzzled, what is love, why don't you find a beautiful girl who is in love, love each other, and stay together.
Uncle Taurus stroked his long white beard and breathed a sigh of relief, as if sighing more like talking to himself: "Alas, when you are young, your love is just beginning, what you want is not far from Yan, what you think is not far from love." Seeking love, a man's nature. ”
Seeing Niu Tianzi's stunned look, Uncle Taurus came back to his senses, smiled kindly, and said bluntly: "Erotic love is chasing beautiful girls, just like your father chased after his mother, this stupid boy!" ”
Oh, Niu Tianzi only then understood that erotic love is a girl who pursues beauty and temptation, Uncle Taurus muttered to himself for a long time, it turns out that this is what it means.
"That'...... What about Su Lian? Niu Tianzi asked curiously.
"Su Lian is to find a random girl to make do, no matter the appearance of a mediocre woman or an ugly girl, as long as it can meet the physiological needs, have children, and pass on the ancestry, the vast majority of Zhuang people are like this." Uncle Taurus replied.
It turns out that the marriage and love in the world are divided into two kinds of love here Uncle Taurus, but Niu Tianzi didn't expect it.
Uncle Taurus looked at Niu Tianzi: "You kid is a talent, it's easy to fall in love, but it's glamorous...... Yes, yes, but I'm afraid you'll have a lot of twists and turns and tribulations in the future. ”
"For ...... Why? Niu Tianzi was stunned.
"Erotic love needs conditions, the rich man is rich, the official is powerful, they have the conditions, ordinary people, no wealth and no power, it is difficult to complete the erotic love. Just like your father back then, he had no wealth and no status, in order to pursue your beautiful and beautiful mother, he only relied on an infatuation, what happened now? Although you are married, haven't you suffered from longing all year round? Alas, it's all my fault, I didn't consider the conditions of both sides back then, and I messed up the mandarin duck spectrum, an ordinary man, a heavenly fairy, the difference in conditions is too great......"
Uncle Taurus seemed to regret a little at the beginning: "If I had introduced your father to a poor mortal girl who was mediocre or a little ugly in the village, and the conditions were comparable, I wouldn't have let your father end up in such a field - I could only meet my mother all year round, leaving a grudge for eternity!"
"Although the world later regarded your parents' erotic love as a poignant story passed down from generation to generation, this poignant erotic love was formed by your parents with the tears of Tianhe."
Speaking of this, Uncle Taurus sighed deeply: "Alas, back then, your Weaver Girl mother was really innocent and infatuated, she didn't care about anything for love, with the precious body of a fairy in the heavenly court, and combined with a farmer who had neither property nor status, and was so poor that there was only one cow left, don't say that your great-grandmother in heaven can't tolerate it, even the mother-in-law in the mortal world can't allow it." ”
