"The wind was howling, the snow was blowing, and the streets were deserted in a small town called Sakas on the mainland of Kyushu, and people were crowded in thick leather jackets to the house of Pikath, the richest man in the town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe people in the town know that the wife of the great good man Pikas gave birth today, and that petite, cute and enthusiastic girl is finally going to be a mother after three years of marrying Picas, and the people in the town are sincerely happy for them.

The crowd on the street is pouring in one direction, and from time to time they meet acquaintances, and everyone will greet each other:

"Hey, man, are you going to Mr. Picas's house?"

"yes, are you going too?"

"Of course, Mrs. Pikas gave birth today, and I'm going to rush to help."

"Uncle Shalong, this is a decoction made by Aunt Jiusha, she said that she would have to go later if she had something, so I asked you to send this decoction to Mrs. first, and drink it while it was hot!"

"Haole, hand over the decoction to me, let Jiusha rest assured!"

Everyone knows that Mr. Pikas came to this town fourteen years ago, he gave everyone money, built houses, taught the villagers to hunt, gave the villagers the means to do business, and he led everyone to prosperity day by day, and the villagers of Sakas Town are sincerely grateful to him.

I didn't hear that Mr. Picas's wife had given birth today, and everyone was anxious to go to congratulate him, hoping that he could do something for Mr. Picas. After all, they had received a lot of favors from Mr. Picas, and now they wanted to do what they could.

People were busy greeting each other for Mr. Pickas, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of a new life.

There was only one person who seemed to think differently than they did

This person is sloppy in dress, his hair is dirty, his face is black, the whole person looks weak, and there are only those big eyes that are translucent and scary, as if he can see through all the injustices in the world.

He staggered down the street on crutches, and he was not as eager as the others to get to Mr. Picas's house, but he was wandering down the street, and when he heard the cheerful words of passers-by, he looked up at the sky, and saw that the dark clouds were slowly covering the sunset, and gradually spreading. He took a sip of wine and looked at the golden pocket watch hanging in front of him,

Then he closed the pocket watch with a snap, and chanted drunkenly in his mouth:

"I came from the heavens in search of God's will,

I am the darling of heaven and earth, and he told me that I was born with a mission.

When I climbed to the sacred mountain where the sun rose, I went to find the light I longed for.

But God told me, 'My dear believer, your faith is in the world, go and find your light in the world.' ’

I passed through the hell of pain,

I woke up in the darkness of the forest,

Because I have lost my way in the ancient path. ”

He followed the crowd to Mr. Picas's house, and instead of entering, he chose to sit in the corner in the cold wind, listening to the sound of people hurrying, he lit his pipe, and with the howling of the cold wind, he took a deep breath and another sip of wine.

I only heard the shouts of the midwife in the house

"Madam, work hard, ma'am, you can't sleep!"

And the moans of women:

"It hurts, it hurts, ah! Ah......h

The sloppy man outside the door, his eyes blazing, looked at the distant sky, and the black clouds with purple thunder and lightning were slowly spreading in this direction.

He continued to chant:

"Alas, how difficult it is to tell how desolate, how rugged, and how primeval the woodland is.

When I think about it, I am terrified!

How bitter it was, and death was nothing more than that;

But to explore the goodness I found there,

In order to cut off the evil of this world,

In order that the bright sun may live forever in the world,

I'll have to tell you about the other things I saw. ”

……

The screams of pain grew louder and louder inside the house, and Mr. Pikas walked up and down in a panic outside, and the courtyard was full of worried townspeople.

The cries of pain grew louder and louder, and the voice of his chant grew louder and louder;

"I can't tell you how I got to that forest.

For when I forsake the way of truth,

I was so sleepy.

But when I got to the foot of a hill over there,

(The valley that terrifies my soul,

The end of it is in that place),

I looked up and saw the hill's shoulder

has long been clothed in the brilliance of that "planet" (1),

It guides people straight ahead on every road.

So, I spent the night in such misery

Constantly in the lake of my heart

The concussive horror calmed down slightly.

It's like a man who escaped from the sea to the shore, wheezing......"

At this point, the wind and snow became heavier and stronger, the cold wind blew coldly, and the night became deeper and darker. The air grew colder, and he sighed softly, picked up the flask at his waist, and took a long sip of wine. Ha out of the heat.

At this time, there was a panicked cry from the midwife:

"Oh no, no, sir, Madame has a difficult birth!"

"What!"

Picarth was flustered and nervous:

"What then!"

The midwife looked back nervously but worriedly at the woman who was still in pain in labor in the house, and said hesitantly:

"Madame's birth canal is not open, and she needs the proflora in the canyon to induce labor. But this snow covers the mountains......"

"Go and lead my horse!"

Pikas turned to the servant and commanded:

"The canyon is not far from here, and I will pick it myself."

After saying that, he turned to the townsfolk in the courtyard and pleaded:

"My wife had a difficult birth and needed the flowers in the canyon as a guide. As the husband of my beloved wife, I can't take the place of her to taste the pain of childbirth, so I wish I could pick the flowers for her that will save her life. I'm about to leave now, and I hope the kind people can take care of this place for me, please. ”

After speaking, he ignored the dissuasion of the crowd, turned around and rode out on horseback.

The man who sat by the door, in the smoke from his pipe, watched Picas's departure with his bright eyes until he was gone, and then began to chant again:

"Oh, poor man,

God said, 'He will eventually go to hell, to hell, to hell because of the creation of demons.'

Because he has a pact with the devil. ’

I'm still here, I'm still looking forward to it, looking forward to it

The sun rises with the stars,

When 'God's love' first made these beautiful things work

They are with the sun

It's dawn,

This day is the warmest season. ”

The thunderclouds are getting closer and closer to Pikath's house, and the purple lightning is getting denser.
