Chapter 2 Things are people, not everything
The black cat got up and paced, wagging his distinctive white tail, snow-white, like the bright moonlight. The soft soles of the feet were gently lowered, and then slowly raised, jumped up, and landed on the opposite branch, like a black and white lightning, crossing the black night, weird and brilliant.
Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at the people seated, his crystal blue eyes like jewels, as if he could see through their souls, moved his beard slightly, and said lightly: "Once, there was a pair of lovers who fell in love, the woman was a gentle and virtuous princess, dignified and polite, and the man was a general, with a great appearance and extremely elegant manners. The two can be called fairy couples, they love each other, and they are in love. ”
But the jealous couple did not live long in peace, and the trumpets of war sounded on the earth, and the flames of war spread everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the night sky, covering the bleak moonlight. Outside the gates, enemy soldiers bombarded the gates with catapults and giant tree stumps, and were soon about to storm the city. ”
The general led the soldiers back to the last line of defense. In the palace of the jade maiden, the general and the princess hugged each other and wept, the man took out a red jade pendant from his arms, took out his sword and slashed it hard, the jade pendant was divided into two, and said to the lover, 'If we are separated, you are a royal relative, they will not kill you, they will make you a nobleman, and when he is stable, I will go to the market to sell this half of the jade pendant, and then it will be the time of meeting.' The woman took the jade pendant tremblingly, held it tightly in the palm of her hand, and looked at the back of the general leaving, and the princess cried pear blossoms with rain. ”
As a royal family, after surrendering, the princess was named a nobleman of the dynasty and continued to live with humiliation. But because the princess is beautiful and moving, and her temperament is fresh and refined, she is favored by the king of the dynasty and wants to be accepted as a favorite concubine. ”
And after that, the woman's heart was sad, thinking day and night about the person in her heart, how many times she had met again in her dreams, and how many times she had cried and woke up in her dreams. Every day she would send someone to the market to sell the blood-red half piece of peiyu, but day by day, year after year, she did not wait for the person to return. The heart is gray, the mind is getting cold, the head is full of green silk, and slowly turns into white hair. ”
The returning general ordered him to go to the bazaar to sell the half of the jade pendant, but when he heard that his beloved had become someone else's favorite concubine, he was grieved and angry. ”
On that day, he carried the half of the jade pendant in his mouth, rode a snow horse, and carried a traceless knife, and broke into the imperial city alone, waving the big knife, unstoppable, flesh and blood splashed, and roaring hoarsely, shocking all the people who stood in his way. His scarlet eyes seemed to warn the soldiers who stopped in front of him, those who stood in my way, die!"
"None of the soldiers defending the city could stop this devil, he killed the court, his armor was broken, his hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, the scars on his face were like the blooming flowers, and the corners of his mouth hung with the blood of infatuation. On the bluestone steps under the main hall, he stood awe-inspiring, his long hair fluttering wantonly, like a killing god was born, and officials of the court and the central government either escaped from the hall or died under the traceless knife. ”
In the end, he took the white-haired lover in his arms, stepped over the corpses, and disappeared outside the Imperial City, and the entire Imperial City, in a dead silence, seemed to surrender to the feet of this devil. The black cat licked its paws and wiped its face.
The people present were still immersed in the story, a flame flashed in the black cat's sapphire blue eyes, smiled slightly, and inadvertently jumped into the boundless darkness.
"Uncle Bearded, Uncle White-Face, I'm back!" said a seven-year-old boy who happily ran up to the bearded and white-faced scholar, sat down, picked up a chicken leg, and nibbled on it to himself.
The child, with short cherry red hair, purple eyes exuding innocence, was covered with oil on his nose, cheeks, and the corners of his mouth, but he didn't care at all.
"Xiaofeng, eat slowly, no one will rob you," the white-faced scholar looked at him gently, "Tell your uncle, what story did you listen to in the back mountain?"
"The kitten told a love story. The little one said vaguely.
"Hahaha, how old a little kid still listens to love stories," the cheeky face was trembling. "Then do you know what love is?"
'Have you ever heard of love?' the little one was lost in thought, thinking of the black cat with its white tail wagging and asking the crowd.
He imitated the black cat's serious and deep tone and said, "Love, it can't be measured by things, it is the poison that makes countless young men and women crazy!"
Everyone around was amazed that this conclusion came from the mouth of a child!
Syllable!
"Did you run to the back mountain again, little cub?" A middle-aged man patted the little guy's head, and the majestic momentum made everyone bow their heads in awe, he shook his black robe, and sat down beside the little guy.
"Well, I'll get someone with me next time. The little one muttered aggrievedly, and looked at the group of children dancing happily around the campfire, "I'm going to do the fire dance first, uncle." He got up and ran to them.
In fact, he was also a little afraid of him, the patriarch's uncle. The patriarch's name is Hua Yin, and the world calls him a flame wolf, as the head of a clan, he has an iron-blooded policy that makes the clan awe-inspired, but he is kind and loving to the people.
The middle-aged man watched the child leap happily, his scarred face smiling kindly.
Silvery moonlight poured down from the sky on the ground, swaying on the faces that were full of happiness.
Hua Yin looked at the moonlight sadly, frowning, "There are still three days, and there will be another blood moon, Hua Feng, can you really survive that night?"
"Xiaosheng"
"Here, patriarch, what do you command?"
"Inform all the clansmen that in three days, the moon god sacrifice ceremony will be held in the spirit of the heavens. ”
After two days, the moon disappeared from the sky, and the whole sky was like ink, and a few scattered stars dotted the dark night. At the request of the chief, each of them placed a brazier in front of the door to dispel the cold, and hung a torch on the wall to illuminate the darkness.
Hua Feng sat on the ground sweating profusely, breathing heavily, "Uncle, I used to train for two hours every day, why did these two days change to four hours?"
"The universe is far away, and the shock is severe. Hua Yin muttered alone.
"What, I don't understand at all, I'm going to play. The little one had just turned to walk away when a dark shadow flashed in front of him. It was Hua Yin, his eyes burst out with sharp light, and the look in his eyes did not see Hua Feng as a seven-year-old child at all.
Hua Feng returned to his original position and continued to train.
An hour passed, Hua Yin shook the purple gold glass cup in his hand, and said to the little guy, "Xiaofeng, how about tasting the Jiuqu red plum tea made by my uncle?" ”
"What nine songs...... "Well, it's so delicious, another drink!" Although the little guy can't taste the long sweetness, he can still taste delicious.
After drinking a few cups, Hua Feng felt that his head was a little heavy, and the person in front of him became blurry, "Uh~ Uncle, I'm sleepy, I slept first......" Hua Feng rubbed his eyes, turned around and entered the house. The purple in his pupils faded, but he was shrouded in a layer of gray.
"Well, go ahead. Hua Yin didn't look at him, but looked at the inky sky, alone in a daze.
