I've dreamed countless times that this snowflake is falling......
There is always a snow every year, neither early nor late, since the arrival of spring, and then with the spring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Spring snow.
The first time I met her, it was in this spring snow.
That year, he was twenty years old, the year of the weak crown.
He was originally a woodcutter in the mountains, and his family was poor, so he could only make a living by chopping wood.
Suddenly, when the spring was warm and cold, I went into the mountains to chop wood, and soon there were snowflakes floating in the sky, and the snowflakes were fluttering one after another, falling into my hands, but I didn't feel cold.
I faintly felt that there was a faint fragrance, and the woodcutter was happy in his heart, and secretly said, this spring snow is pleasant, although it is weird, but he didn't think much about it.
It was at this moment that a woman in the forest was heard.
The woodcutter knew that something was wrong, there were many hunters in this mountain, and he was afraid that he didn't know whose woman was greedy for fun and fell into the hunter's trap.
So I followed the sound and saw a woman in white sitting in the spring snow, born with a gorgeous appearance, as if she did not eat the fireworks of the world.
The woodcutter asked him what had happened, but he heard the woman say, "I came here to collect medicine in the mountains, but I didn't want to encounter a poisonous snake, so I was bitten at this ankle, and at this moment I only feel numb in my legs and can't move." β
When the woodcutter heard her say this, he was terrified, and if he was bitten by the poisonous snake, he feared that he would die from time to time.
"Girl, can you take a look at it below?" The woodcutter bowed his hand, but because his life was at stake, he did not wait for the woman to return, so he squatted down and lifted the woman's ankle.
The woman felt a little surprised, and unconsciously blushed, and only hummed softly, which was regarded as a promise.
The woodcutter picked up the woman's feet and exposed one of the ankles, only to see that there were indeed two shallow tooth marks on the snow-white skin, although there was no blood, only the wound was already blackened, thinking that this poisonous snake was indeed poisonous.
"The girl can endure a little pain, suck the girl's poison out, and if there is any offense, please forgive the girl."
When the woodcutter had finished speaking, he took a dagger from his bosom, cut her wound a little deeper, and then leaned down to take poison on her.
The woman snorted, thinking that the pain was unbearable, and only turned her face to the side, not daring to look at him.
After the woodcutter had sucked the poisonous blood for her, he wrapped up the wound for her, and when he saw that she had difficulty moving, he wanted to carry her down the mountain.
When she asked her where her house was, she said that she was deep in the mountains.
The woodcutter hunched the woman on his back, carried a pair of shoes in his hand, and followed her instructions into the depths of the mountain.
When they got to a hut, the woman said, "This is my house."
The woman looked up at him, and thanked him for saving his life.
The woodcutter was happy in his heart, and he had already fallen in love with him, but he was afraid of the abrupt beauty, so he said goodbye and returned home.
For many years afterward, he still remembered the day when the woman said goodbye to him, as if it was fate.
β¦β¦
In the spring snow that year, he went up the mountain at dawn every day to chop wood, and returned at sunset, hoping to see her again.
Every day, while collecting medicine, the woman gossiped with him.
The woodcutter was a rough man in the mountains, and he was not good at words, but he thought that the woman spoke very well, and listened attentively, and his heart was very happy, and he never felt that the twilight was coming.
And so, more than a month passed.
The spring snow also fell intermittently for more than a month, and then it stopped falling.
On this day, the woman said to him, "I have something important to go to a foreign country, or I will not be able to return until next spring." β
The woodcutter was stunned in his heart, and his heart was not spit out, but he only said goodbye to the next day, so he said goodbye to the woman.
The next day, as she said, she did not come back.
When the woodcutter went to look for the hut in the mountain again, although he searched all over the corner, he could not find it, and his heart was gloomy, but he remembered the woman's words before leaving, and waited patiently for the spring of the following year.
β¦β¦
In the second year, when the spring was warm and cold, when the woodcutter was cutting firewood in the mountain, he only smelled a faint fragrance, and a snowflake fell in the air, and it quickly melted away when it fell on the back of his hand, and when he looked up again, he saw snowflakes flying in the air, like a rain of flowers.
The woodcutter's heart moved, and he secretly said that she was not back.
Suddenly, he heard a person calling him, and when he turned to look, he saw the woman in white standing in the snow, like a fairy in the sky.
The woodcutter was originally a bold person, and when he saw him again, how to give up, he told the woman what was going on and wanted to marry him.
The woman also secretly promised with her heart, blushed, and nodded in agreement.
Speaking of marriage, the woman said that her parents had died young, and that she had lived alone in the mountains, and that she had never had a name.
After hearing this, the woodcutter didn't think much about it, although he felt strange, and thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I give you a name?" β
The woman nodded yes.
The woodcutter pondered for a moment and said, "I met you in this spring snow, and you meet me every year in the spring snow, so it is better to call you Spring Snow." β
The woman was very happy when she received the name of spring snow, and went to her house with the woodcutter.
β¦β¦
The woodcutter had a brother who treated him like a father, and he was informed of his wife.
The elder brother was overjoyed to learn that his brother had married, and went with him to his home.
The woodcutter welcomed the woman out to her brother.
When the elder brother saw it, his face was solemn, because he saw that he was holding his hands empty, but he didn't see anything, let alone his wife who was about to pass through the door.
The elder brother was afraid that his brother was suffering from hysteria, so he wanted to take him to see Langzhong.
The woodcutter was surprised, and when he looked back, his beautiful wife was standing beside him, why did his brother turn a blind eye?
Both of them suspected that the other had hysteria, so they asked a neighbor to sit down.
Unexpectedly, the neighbors also turned a blind eye to the woman, as if there was nothing.
The woodcutter was shocked, and when he went to see the woman again, he saw her looking at him with two lines of tears on her face.
β¦β¦
Because he had not bowed, he had not slept in the same place.
Neither of them could sleep at night.
The woodcutter was tossing and turning on the couch and could not sleep, when he heard the sound of the door, so he got up and looked, and saw the woman standing in the snow, trying to go out of the door.
The woodcutter's heart tightened, and he quickly stopped her.
The woman looked back and said with tears on her face, "Since I'm just your delusion, let me disappear...... You still have a great future ahead of you......"
At this time, the moonlight was bright and clean, falling on the woman, reflecting as bright as snow, like a celestial person.
The woodcutter rushed out of the door, ran to the moon, took the woman's hands, and said, "I only meet you, if you meet the immortals in the sky, they can't see you, just because you are a mortal fetus with the naked eye." β
When the woman looked up, she saw this honest man, who was rough on weekdays, but at this moment he was already in tears, which couldn't help but make people pity.
The woodcutter ignored the tears on his face, and said with a smile, "If I am really hysterical, and this cause is caused by me, how can you leave, when hysteria occurs, it is the day you return...... If I am sick, I will continue to be sick, as long as I can ...... with you."
When the woman saw that his words were earnest, she had already cried into tears, so she nodded and agreed to stay.
β¦β¦
That night, the two married at home alone and got married.
Although the woodcutter did not receive the blessing of his brother, he did not dare to disrespect his brother, so he and his wife visited him the next day.
When the elder brother heard him say that when he got married in the church last night, his liver was furious, but he said that the second brother had hysteria and was incorrigible.
The woodcutter thanked his brother, and felt that he had done his best to be a brother, and he didn't care about him, but only wanted to live with his wife.
β¦β¦
The woodcutter went up the mountain every day to chop wood, and the woman raised chickens at home.
The only strange thing is that every year when spring goes away, the woman has to leave, and only comes back when the spring of the following year comes.
In this way, the woodcutter was also accustomed to the days of reuniting with her once a year, and it was intermittent for six or seven years.
β¦β¦
This year, when the spring snow is about to end, the woman says goodbye to the woodcutter.
Before leaving, she only felt melancholy, and the woman said with tears on her face, "After I leave, my husband can take care of himself, respect his brother, and ......be in harmony with his neighbors."
Seeing that the woman had never been so verbose, as if she was parting from life and death, the woodcutter only felt funny, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, you can take care of yourself, just wait for the spring snow next year to return, and then gather together." β
The woman nodded, one step at a time, walked far, and beckoned to him again.
The man waved goodbye to her.
I saw a spring breeze blowing, and I lost my eyes.
When the woodcutter rubbed his eyes and looked again, there was no sign of the woman......
I just don't know why, I feel faintly uneasy in my heart......
β¦β¦
This year, the wife did not come as scheduled.
After waiting for more than a month, this spring snow came, and after more than a month, there was still no return of the beauty.
The woodcutter was stunned in his heart, and he was only worried and frightened for a while, and in the dark, he felt that he would never see her again......
He lived like a year, cutting wood in the mountains every day, and did not return all night, just silently looking at the familiar scene, looking forward to it, waiting......
Untilβ
The sky was clear and clear, and a snowflake fell from above, and when it reached his hand, there was a trace of coldness, which quickly dissolved.
In the blink of an eye, there was another one.
The woodcutter clenched the snowflakes in his hand, raised his head, and saw snowflakes falling from the sky.
"Spring snow."
DΓ©jΓ vu......
The spring breeze blows up snowflakes all over the sky.
This is exactly the time.
He heard a series of laughter like silver bells, and his heart suddenly moved.
So the sound came.
I saw a teenage girl in the snow in the distance, holding an ice leaf in her hand and laughing.
But it's not her......
β¦β¦
"Spring snow! Spring snow! Ma Teng suddenly sat up from his feet, only to see where there was spring snow in front of him, only Zhang Xian's face with a gray beard.
"Are you awake?" Zhang Xian laughed, "Let's talk about this spring snow, what's going on, right?" β
