Volume 1 Xuantian Continent Chapter 30 Hosta
Mei Yin lifted the tray, showed everyone a circle of hostas, and said, "This ninth lot is a hosta. ”
When everyone saw the tray covered with red silk, they all thought it was a great thing, after all, the first few were all said by Mei Yin, so their expectations were getting higher and higher. Of course, this is no wonder to everyone, after all, the Xuantian Continent is a place where martial arts are admired, and although this hosta is exquisitely made, it is not an amazing thing. Therefore, when they saw the lots, they all showed a look of disappointment.
"What is this? Isn't it just a hosta? What's so strange? There's something on the street. ”
"Are you guys running out of things and starting to fool us? ”
"If you Yanyue Tower also start to fool people with such inconspicuous things, then it is really a waste of our people's expectations!"
Seeing that everyone was talking, Mei Yin was neither anxious nor annoyed, but said softly: "Everyone, please listen to the slave family talk about the origin of this hosta, and if you still feel that it is not good after the slave family finishes speaking, we will change the lot immediately." ”
This was the first time since the auction began, Mei Yin introduced the auction items in such a warm tone, so everyone couldn't help but stop talking and looked at her one after another.
Mei Yin cleared her throat, pointed to the hosta, and said, "Listen to the slave family tell everyone about the origin of this hosta......
It turns out that this hosta has a beautiful legend.
Six hundred years ago, in a village in the Xuantian Continent, there was a teenager whose parents died when he was a child, leaving only one person who was lonely and helpless, living in great poverty. It was a winter morning, and the boy went up the mountain to chop wood as usual, and found an injured white crane on the way. At that time, it was freezing and the white crane was shivering from the cold, and the young man launched a heart of compassion, so he took the white crane back in his arms, rescued him home, and took care of it.
At first, the white crane was still a little scared, afraid that the boy would hurt himself, but as time went by, the boy carefully gave the crane medicine and fed it every day, and the white crane slowly realized that the boy was not only not hostile to it, but was saving its life. The white crane let down his vigilance and recuperated his injuries with peace of mind. After the crane recovered from his injuries, the boy was reluctant to give up, but he knew that the bird should still return to its own world, so he took the crane to the courtyard, held it high, and signaled that it could fly away.
I saw the white crane spread its wings, circled three times above the boy's head, nodded three times, and then raised its head and flew high into the air. Seeing the white crane flying farther and farther, the young man reluctantly returned to the house, took the axe and went up the mountain to chop wood.
He thought that it would be difficult to see the white crane again, and although he had regrets in his heart, he also persuaded himself not to think about it anymore. When I got home in the evening, I was about to cook when there was a knock at the door.
The boy lived alone, and the conditions were very poor, so he had no relatives or friends who wanted to walk around with him. Hearing a knock at the door, he felt a little strange, and he went over to open the door, and was surprised to see that there was a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old standing at the door. I saw that the girl's body was covered with snowflakes, and a pair of bright big eyes flickered, which was very beautiful. Seeing the young man answer the door, she lowered her head shyly and said, "I'm sorry to disturb me." ”
The boy had never seen such a beautiful girl, and when he asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
The girl replied embarrassedly: "I came here to join my relatives, but I didn't expect to encounter such a heavy snow and get lost." It's late, and it's cold outside, so I'll borrow it from you for one night, and I don't know if my son is willing to take it in. ”
The young man was already fascinated by the girl in front of him, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Yes, it's okay, it's just that my family is too simple, and I'm afraid that I will wronged the girl......"
He turned his head to look at his destitute home, and he was really ashamed of himself in front of such a beautiful girl.
"The Burrow is always sheltered from the wind, warmer than the wind and snow outside. ”
The girl was so understanding, the boy nodded, and so the girl went into the house, and when she saw firewood by the stove, she asked the boy, "Are you going to cook?"
The young man nodded and said busily: "I don't have delicacies from the mountains and seas at home, but if the girl doesn't dislike it, you can ask the girl to have dinner together." ”
The girl smiled and nodded, and said, "I see that you are tired, you might as well rest, and I will cook." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the boy to speak, he began to prepare the meal, and in a short time the hot meal was served.
Since the death of his father, no one has cooked for the boy, the boy was inexplicably moved, he took the rice and tasted it, although it was all ingredients from his own home, but it was extremely delicious, and he didn't care about being polite at the moment, and devoured it.
The girl only ate a few bites and then didn't move her chopsticks, just watched the boy eat with a smile. After the meal, the girl put away the dishes and chopsticks and slept on the bed that the boy had made for her.
The boy slept in the outhouse, and his heart was full of joy, and he only thought in his heart that the girl would stay a few more days.
It seems that the heavens heard the voice of the young man, and after one night, there was heavy snow for several days, and even the door was sealed.
The girl can only live in the boy's house, cook and clean up the housework, the boy goes out every day to chop wood and comes back to eat with the girl, chat, and the two will have feelings for each other, and the two will become husband and wife.
Seeing that the young man was working hard to chop wood every day and living in such poverty, the girl said to the young man, "From this day onwards I will make a hairpin every day, and you can go to the market to sell it, and use it to fill the family." But when I do it three times, don't peek at anything. ”
So saying, she shut herself into the inner room, and after a few hours, the girl went out of the house and took out a hairpin. The hairpin is exquisitely made, the whole body is white, there is a little vermilion on it, like a koi swimming in the white jade, very smart and beautiful. The boy was amazed, but the girl was very tired, the boy cared about the girl's body, but the girl only asked the boy to sell the list as soon as possible. In this way, the girl made a hairpin for seven hundred and forty-nine days in a row, and during this time, the boy always listened to the girl's words and never peeked at it. But on the last day, when the girl was making hairpins, the boy found that the girl was so pale that she was bloodless, and she was shaky even walking, so he was concerned and let him peek through the window. At this glance, I couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that it was not a girl who made it three times in the back room, but a white crane. The white crane plucked off his own feathers with his beak, a full forty-nine, and then transformed into a girl, chanted a spell, and turned the feathers into a hosta, and a little red in the hosta was the blood stained when the feathers were plucked.
