Chapter 67: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky

When the curtain that envelops the sky is completely unfurled, the wisps of stars become the most dazzling existence in the world. The night is beautiful, but there is often a hidden murderous motive, so that black has become synonymous with mystery and danger.

Dinner is simply to eat a few tree fruits and boiled sparse reeds, are used to eating these people, although greasy, but also caused by the helplessness of life, do you still expect them to eat exquisitely?

Taijia pillows on Wangcai, although the red panda is reluctant, but he can only helplessly be in front of the meat pad. Hotaru Moon was also happy to hold it, but the latter's soft posture made Wangcai a little less dissatisfied.

The hillside was originally a good stargazing spot, and the people in the village came out for a walk after eating, but found that the thief Tongtian family on the high slope not far away, and couldn't help but show bad luck.

An old woman said: "If this thief doesn't learn well for a day, he will know how to steal!" How can we do our part? When the time comes, the enlightened king will send someone to arrest us, but don't involve us! ”

Her wife giggled and said, "If that big baby and his father knew about this, he would vomit blood in anger?" ”

"The girl is not a good bird, when the old thief dies, the next one will be this little thief! But you have to be careful, don't find it if it's half a meter or two! ”

The villagers discussed thoughtlessly and went for a walk. Tygar found that these people, without exception, were disgusted with thieves, simply because he stole to help them pay taxes. This makes the Thai armor very unhappy, and ignorance has to have a head!

And what did Hotaru do wrong? Why do you even have to scold her? Just because his dad is a thief? …… No, not only them, maybe everyone thought that way then, and even now there are many people with such pedantic brains.

It's no wonder, after all, they are not cornered by tax officials like thieves, and they won't feel sorry for a thief's daughter.

Looking at Yingyue's slightly lost appearance, the sadness in her dark bright eyes made Taijia very distressed. Maybe she was the first peer to open her heart, but why didn't she feel a little lighter in this tense world by looking at her arrogant smile?

"Hotaru Moon, do you like to listen to stories?" The Thai Armor broke the silence.

Hotaru didn't know why Tai Jia asked that, but he really liked to listen to stories, so he let out a soft "um", and he was weak.

The thief sat on the grass all day, and he didn't know what Taijia's idea was...... Forget it, as long as you don't kidnap your daughter, it's good to take her for me.

Hotaru hears similar insults almost every day, but she is not a numb person, she will be sad, she will be wronged, and she will confide. Although the thief explained to his daughter patiently every time, as time progressed, his daughter didn't seem to buy it.

I hope the Thai armor can make up a better story.

"Once upon a time there was a man......"

"Not good, not good!" As soon as Hotaru heard the beginning, she shouted.

"Uh...... Why is it bad? ”

The thief sighed: "She doesn't like to listen to people's stories, she only likes to listen to small animals." ”

Damn, Uncle Ben tells you stories, you're still so tricky!

Taijia was helpless, thought for a moment, and could only change his words: "There was once a bird, let's call him the egg stealing bird!" Egg-stealing birds love to steal other people's eggs for their own cubs. It was uneventful, until a new boss came to the forest, a vulture, bald and ugly, who, when he heard about the bad deeds of the egg-stealers, finally ordered the other birds to arrest the egg-stealers. ”

Hotaru Tsuki's eyes widened, and although she didn't know vultures or how birds caught their own kind, he thought it was strange because it was a story she had never heard her father tell her.

The thief frowned, this egg-stealing bird...... Isn't it him?

Taijia also played on the spot, and with a roll of his eyes, he continued: "The vulture sentenced him to death for his bad deeds of the egg-stealing bird, but because his cubs also ate the eggs stolen by the egg-stealing bird, the vulture ordered the birds to catch the cubs as well. There are crows, vultures, and chickens pretending to be birds in those flocks, and they have long wanted to clean up the egg-stealing birds, and today they are also eager to sentence the egg-stealing birds' cubs to death! ”

Taijia said the emotional part, Hotaru Yue's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she hurriedly asked, "That'...... Are the birds going to die too? ”

The thief felt a pain in his heart, why did he do that kind of thing, if it was as Taijia said, if he was the East Window incident, then his daughter ......

Thaika didn't answer Hotaru's question, and continued, "The vulture is a cruel leader, and he ordered the entire family of egg-stealers to be killed; But there are discerning people...... Occasionally, the Bright-Eyed Birds knew that the birds were innocent, and that they had only eaten the food that the Egg Stealers had brought back to them, but they were afraid of the vultures and did not dare to speak out. Three days later, the big and small birds were about to be executed, but just as they were about to be executed, a man suddenly ran out...... A bird! ”

"Hey, what's that bird going to do?" Hotaru asked in surprise, "Is he trying to save the egg-stealing bird?" ”

The thief Tongtian thought that Taijia was telling the story of a wicked person who would eventually have evil retribution, but he didn't expect that a sudden turn for the better would come, so he hurriedly listened to it.

"It was a heron, with sky-blue feathers and a white neck, which was very beautiful. He is dissatisfied with the vulture's ruling, and wants to stand up and rescue the innocent bird......"

"Why don't you save Big Bird?" Hotaru said unconvinced.

Tygar patiently explained: "The egg-stealing bird stole someone else's egg, and the heron felt that this was the punishment it deserved, and he couldn't be let go because he was pitiful; But the birds are innocent, they don't deserve to die, that's why the herons save them. ”

Hotaru pouted, seemingly unconvinced by Taijia's statement, why was the egg stealer so pitiful and wanted to be executed?

The thief sighed, this seemed to be the end he deserved.

"The heron is very powerful, one bird knocks over several birds; The vultures immediately sent out their army, and the herons were invincible with their wings and four claws, but at such a juncture, a lot of herons suddenly came out, and they defeated the vultures' army, drove away the vultures, and saved the egg-stealing birds and birds......"

"Huh?"

Before Hotaru could speak, the thief Tongtian was shocked, because this was different from what he expected!

"But isn't the big bird going to die?" The Hotaru Moon Gang Thief asked, "Didn't you say that Big Bird deserved it?" ”

"What the egg-stealing bird does is unacceptable to many birds, but its instinct is to steal eggs and eat them, which is irresistible, otherwise it will only starve to death. The heron is also divided into categories, and among them there are birds that understand this, so they forgive it, and save not only its son, but also it. ”

Thagar continued: "The birds are innocent, as many birds can see, and they are disgusted only because their father stole the eggs. But those birds are ugly and ugly, and only a bird as good-looking as a heron would understand this. So whenever someone misunderstands you or slanders you, don't give up, because more people will understand you and trust you! ”

I don't know if Hotaru Yue understands it, Mu Mu nodded, but maybe the sadness in his heart has also disappeared a lot; And Wangcai stretched out his kind claws at this time, and there was a commotion, and the sorrow of the firefly disappeared in an instant.

"Thank you, thank you......" The thief leaned over and said with some embarrassment, "I've only been thinking about how to get my daughter to avoid this all these years, but I haven't been able to think about how to make her face this." You let her know she didn't do anything wrong, I ...... I really don't know what to say! ”

The thief stammered, and his face was red; He is not good at showing kindness to people, and he is not good at expressing gratitude.

In fact, the thief Tongtian also heard the sympathy of Taijia for him, he went to "steal eggs" is indeed forced by the situation, if he didn't want to help the people of the whole village pay taxes, and the tax rate is high and scary, how can he become an egg stealer?

Taijia waved his hand, this is a story he made up casually based on the matter of father and daughter, but it is obvious that he wants Hotaru to understand that he has not done anything wrong, and some people will misunderstand him, thinking that the children of the thief are also thieves, but there will also be people who understand him, after all, she can't help herself.

The Thai is the heron.

It is true that one person can influence the next generation, but there are also those who do not want their children to go down the wrong path and strive to teach. The thief is such a person, but he can't avoid his identity, causing everyone around him to treat him and his daughter coldly.

Taijia believes that Hotaru Moon's kindness was taught by his father; And his father's theft was entirely the work of this corrupt country. At first, Tygar didn't understand what corruption was, until he heard that someone was collecting fifty percent of the tax.

If it weren't for the harshness of the state, how could a good citizen become a villain?

And those who think they are good are the real accomplices, they only know how to laugh at others and exert pressure; If Hotaru is forced to steal by them in the end, they will also say that it is reasonable. If Hotaru withstood the pressure, they would also try their best to force her to steal, otherwise how embarrassed would they be?

This is the nature of fools.

"I'm done with the story, why don't you pick the stars?" Thaika laughed, "Don't lie to me, right? If you lie to me, I'll tell you that my daughter Big Bird is going to be sentenced again! ”

"Don't! Don't! The thief hurriedly made a gesture of please, "I'll pick it now, you are here, don't move around......"

"Your father and daughter's mantra ......"

Taijia didn't know why he always wanted to complain, but Hotaru suddenly clapped his hands in surprise: "Oh, oh, Father wants to catch the stars!" ”

I saw that the thief Tongtian crossed a big tree with a vertical step, and the big tree was probably six or seven zhang high, and Taijia did not dare to climb it when he saw it, but the thief Tongtian only went up with a few easy jumps.

Hotaru said that she was not as good as a thief, but it was true.

"Daughter, do you want a star or a starry sky?" In the distance, I heard the thief shouting through the sky.

"I want a whole starry sky!" Hotaru exclaimed as if she had been ready for a long time.

"Okay!"

But I saw that the thief Tongtian twisted his hand, and flew down, and before the Taijia could react, the thief Tongtian smiled mysteriously, and faintly opened his clenched right hand, gradually revealing a touch of light.

Hotaru Tsuki's eyes widened in surprise.

Taijia didn't think so, he knew what it was, but he wasn't ready to debunk it, after all, this was the romance between father and daughter. The thief suddenly said: "The brightest star is dedicated to my princess, may this star always accompany you and never leave you." ”

Listening to this meaty line, Taijia's scalp was numb, and he couldn't say such words. But Firefly Moon eats this set raw, clapping vigorously, and wants to grab the "stars".

But as soon as Firefly Yue's hand touched the thief Tongtian, the thief opened his hands, and a yellow light rose up in response to the situation and floated towards the night sky. Hotaru Yue was disappointed and shouted, "Father, the stars have run away!" ”

"Silly girl, the star is going home, so that it can continue to accompany you in the sky!"

Firefly turned from worry to joy in an instant.

Taijia's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't even hold back a word; Compared to such a thief's behavior, he is simply an old hat!

"Also, here's the whole starry sky I have for you!"

The thief suddenly waved his hand, and in the surprised eyes of the two, thousands of yellow points of light floated up from the grass, like a piece of light jade, illuminating all the hopes in the world! They soared up, and when they reached mid-air, they were really like a starry sky, as bright as an orchid.

A little light is nothing, but the convergence of thousands of lights is so shocking! Glowing with a faint yellow, the fireflies lined up in an orderly manner, gradually rising along the air, forming a long curtain like a galaxy in mid-air, occasionally emitting silver light, as if blinking, which can't help but make people feel refreshed.

Although Taijia knew the fireflies, he didn't expect that there were so many hidden in the grass, but it was made the most beautiful by the thief.

Perhaps it was these fireflies that rekindled the hope of the thief!

He kept this scene in his mind, accompanied by the even breathing of the firefly moon, the indulgent laughter of the thief, and the snoring of Wangcai, which must have been the most beautiful scene he had ever seen in his life......
