Chapter 78: No distinction between love and hate

This mountainous area is inhabited by many yokai. The territory of the Nine Heavens is limited, but its population is increasing year by year. The people's territory gradually expanded here, and it was not harmonious to get along with the monsters.

Fortunately, the two sides reached an unwritten rule. Although there are occasional conflicts between the two sides, they are not always bloody. After three or five months, it is not too new to hear that whose child was captured and whose family killed the monster in the mountain. Accidents are rare all year round. At that time, Xuemo traveled from village to village all year round, bringing with her the needs and insights of this and that side. Both adults and children loved him and respected him.

One day, a young woodcutter was chopping wood in the woods. The trees around the village were cut down because several families married at the same time and built many houses. His father and mother's elderly people also lived in the village, and because of his father's leg problems, he was the only one who could cut wood for three families. The young man worked very hard, and before he knew it, he went deep into the woods.

He saw a woman in the woods - a beautiful woman. Her eyes were silky, her blonde hair was like soft gold, and her eyes were like fiery flames. She sat on a tree branch and, on a whim, played tricks on the young woodcutter.

The two knew each other and exchanged names. The sun was about to set, and he suddenly realized that he had forgotten the duty of chopping wood. When he turned around, he found that his firewood basket was already full of dry firewood. He thought it was strange, but the girl said that he had come with a basket full of them. He scratched his head and smiled innocently.

The young man was an honest man, and he told his family everything he had seen. His parents and sister said that he was stupid, that he had fallen into an evil spirit, or that he had met a mountain demon. He didn't believe it, so his sister said that only the people with golden hair were from the open sea, and that they would all go to the king, and that it was impossible for them to come to such a poor country and suffer. Moreover, Fan Ren is speaking in Fan language, how can he understand it? So it's not that he's making up nonsense, it's that he hit the demon, and it's really shit luck to let him come back safely. In the future, you have to go to that kind of place less, otherwise you will be eaten by youkai sooner or later.

Although the blonde girl is a little naughty, she is so kind, how can she harm him?

He went there the next day, and the blonde girl was still there. The young woodcutter said that his family told him that she must be a monster. Unexpectedly, the girl generously admitted and said, "Yes, I am a monster, a monster of the Goldwinged Bird." ”

He was a little scared, but after thinking about it, he still didn't believe it. The two of them chatted again and again until it was dark. When the sun went down, the woodcutter's firewood was full again.

Although the woodcutter is honest, he is not too stupid, and he can guess the reason after coming and going. One day he told the Goldfinch that he believed she was a monster and that he wanted to see her as she really was. She disagreed, saying that you humans judge people by their appearance, and if she changes back to her original form, he will be scared away and never come to see her again, as people used to be. The woodcutter repeatedly assured that the bird girl still wouldn't listen, and he was very disappointed. Later, when he heard in the village that snake gall was a favorite thing of the goldfinch bird, he ventured into the mountains to catch snakes. He didn't show up in front of the woman as promised, and she was in a hurry. When the woodcutter almost died, he was saved by the goldfinch girl. That's really a big python.

"Are you stupid! Pythons are all non-venomous. And we don't eat ordinary poisonous snakes. ”

"You like Naga, I know." The woodcutter patted his chest with trepidation, "They say this snake demon is big. ”

"You're such an idiot."

"I thought you liked it."

The Goldfinch girl blushed. She knew that the young woodcutter was an age of curiosity. In order to prevent him from causing more trouble in the future, she agreed to conjure up a prototype for him to see. I never thought that her real body was a monster with a human face and a bird body, although she still had a beautiful face, but she felt a little stiff and nondescript.

The woodcutter laughed.

When he saw the woman's strange expression, he immediately covered his mouth and apologized. On the contrary, the goldfinch was very strange, because everyone had been scared away, but the woodcutter was not, and he was smiling so happily.

The woodcutter carried the serpent back, causing quite a stir. He said that there was a monster to help, and the villagers slowly began to believe. Gradually, it was also said that he and the blonde banshee in his mouth had been seen in the woods. As soon as it was passed on to ten, ten, and hundred, the matter began. Human nature is always jealous, men are not used to him, and women are afraid to listen to him. It was clearly a heroic deed to eliminate harm for the people, but the woodcutter found that since then, life has slowly become difficult.

He was sad and told the Goldfinch how he felt. The bird girl thought about it for a while, and said, If you don't mind, come to live with me in the mountains. Although she was still in the egg, her father told her that humans could not be trusted. The goldfinch bird will only break its shell when it is an adult, and when she is born, her father and mother are gone. She grew up, met bad people, and also met good people, and more people were afraid of her and stayed away from her.

The two have already secretly fallen in love, and they are only one step away from the bird of the same forest. But the woodcutter was not at ease, and felt that it was better to say hello to his father, so he asked the bird girl to wait for her—he would surely come and marry her.

Bird Girl agreed.

Bird Girl never saw him again.

At that time, the Goldfinch Girl was pregnant. When she found out, the young woodcutter was still nowhere to be found. She began to wonder if there was any danger that something had happened. But I didn't hear any monsters say that the people who ate the chopping wood were nothing more than the children of the two families and the chickens and ducks of several families. She didn't dare to go to the woodcutter's village, there were too many people there, no matter how she said it.

When her belly was already slightly bulging and she could see the round outline, she met a well-informed iron-eating beast in the mountains and forests. The Iron Eater was a little surprised to see her.

"I didn't expect you to be doing well, and you're pregnant."

"Who are you?" Bird Girl asked.

"I'm your daddy's friend......"

"Friends?"

She didn't believe it at first, and pulled the iron-eating beast to ask east and west. He listed some of the stories and songs his father told and sang when he was still in the shell. So she believed it, and asked, where is her father?

Killed by humans.

Humans make feathers from the feathers of a pair of golden-winged birds, implying that husband and wife are in love, and they can grow old together. This ornate feather robe was paid tribute to the king's fourth daughter. The fourth duke mainly married to a vast continent in the north and married a prince. People want the princess to go in style, and she can't lose face. Along with the princess to make a dowry, in addition to the feather coat, there are also treasures unique to the country such as rejuvenating incense.

"Humans are not trustworthy." She muttered.

"I didn't want to tell you...... That being the case, it doesn't hurt that I'm saying it. When you grow up, you are a mother, and you should have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. But not all human beings are evil, they ......"

The Bird Girl flapped her wings in the form of a prototype and flew away, not listening to what he was saying.

The monsters in the mountains know about it, the silly orphaned Goldfinch Bird, who is pregnant with a human child. They told it over and over again like a joke, and they never tired of it. There are also kind-hearted monsters who protect her, so that the demon clan is not allowed to fight in the same room; There are also evil-eyed monsters, saying that they have all seen it, and the woodcutter is married to a village girl, and he doesn't want her anymore.

She didn't want to believe it, and she didn't look at it.

Later, the child was born, a healthy boy. Her eggs are not hard enough, they are soft and easily torn apart by children. But when the child came out, she was dumbfounded—the eggs had only been laid for a few days, and a baby had hatched. Isn't that what a goldfinch is supposed to be...... And on her body, there is too strong human milky smell, and she feels overwhelmed.

She still brought up the child and suffered from the white eyes of the demon clan. The child grows up. At first, when he asked about his father, she comforted him that one day his father would pick up the mother, and she was also waiting for this day, and they waited together. But whether it is a human or a demon race, a lonely mother, with a fragile child, will suffer a big loss wherever she goes. In order to survive, she slowly changed, became stronger, and also became capricious. Her emotions are often uncontrollable, especially when she sees her weak son growing day by day, there is always a trace of bitterness in her heart.

"You kid is really looking more and more like your father."

The flavor of these words has changed year by year.

The child does not know why, and his mother is getting stranger and stranger. He can still clearly remember how gentle his mother was when he was a child. But forced by life, they are often hungry, and even reduced to the extent of going to the villagers' houses to steal chickens and dogs. This is something that only low-level demons who can't even transform into can do among youkai.

The mother became more and more perverse and crazy. She never mentioned her father's affairs again, and when she was tired of asking, she would beat him, and her mother would hug him and cry after the beating. He lived in fear, walking on thin ice, and he would be scolded and beaten one day, which was no better than starvation. From "all human beings are liars, except for your father is good", to "all human beings are liars, especially your father who kills a thousand knives", he doesn't know why it has become such a statement, and how to listen, see, and distinguish.

He only learned from his mother: his father didn't want them anymore, and his father even lied to his mother.

A hundred years have passed.

The people of this mountainous area live to sixty or seventy to live a long life. Presumably, his father is long dead, but his mother has never let go of her hatred. He felt that his father was indeed ruthless, but he didn't have any real feelings. It's just that his mother is chanting day and night, and the words like mantras linger in his ears, and he has a little ...... for human beings in his heart Opinion. But he didn't like the monsters either, because the monsters laughed at him and bullied him, saying that he was a half-demon who didn't enter the stream. Love or hate, it's something he doesn't really understand.

Later, by chance, they were able to come to their father's grave.

The old man guarding the tomb was not afraid of monsters, he looked at the year on the tombstone, and said slowly: "He...... I guess it's from my father's generation. It's just that he left early, and he disappeared more than eighty years ago. ”

"How so?" He asked.

"When he heard that he was going to marry a monster as a daughter-in-law, his father was angry and slapped him. He slammed his head into the corner of the table and died. ”
