It's getting dark.

Two doves circled among the clouds and departed from a corner of the eaves.

In the distance, there was still a faint crimson in the sky.

As time passed, the lights of thousands of homes gradually went out, and the little boy who couldn't sleep on the small bed under the window opened his eyes and shook his head to look outside, and the bright moonlight sprinkled in the mottled shadows of the trees.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound at the door, and it was the grandmother who was hunched in.

"Why hasn't my little one slept yet?" Grandma smiled leisurely and walked over slowly.

"Grandma, I can't sleep." The young man looked at his grandmother and lowered his head, with a little helplessness.

Grandma walked over slowly, sat down on the bed, and gently hugged the boy into her arms against the wall.

"Would you like Grandma to tell you a story?" The boy looked up at his grandmother and blinked, "What kind of story is it, is there a great sage in it?" Grandma suddenly became embarrassed, raised her arm, and hammered her forehead.

......................................................................................................................................................................

"The Great Sage doesn't have it, so it seems that he can't talk about it?" When the young man heard this, he became anxious, hurriedly lay down, hugged his grandmother's hand, and then shook it, and said coquettishly, "Grandma is the best, tell your grandson quickly." ”

After saying that, she smiled sweetly, and grandma opened the curtains, revealing the moon that could not be seen in the shadow of the half of the trees.

Softly sprinkled, the laurel petals floated down, slowly swinging onto the windowsill, and hid in the moonlight.

Once upon a time, the moon in the sky was not the same as it is now, not as white as it was, but as red as blood.

Every night, the whole world is plunged into a blood-red shadow.

But only on the fifteenth day of each month, the moon will go out, and there will be no red, only the lights of thousands of homes in the streets and alleys.

"Why, grandma?" The young man asked curiously, "Because in the moon in the sky, there lives a cursed wolf, and it is necessary to eat the negative people in this world in order to get rid of the curse." And on the fifteenth day of each month, he will turn into a red-robed boy and come to the world.

And because of this, there is no shadow of moonlight on the fifteenth, so the world holds a temple fair on the fifteenth day to celebrate the hard-won darkness. ”

"Is that fifteen also the days when wolves eat people?" When the boy heard this, he shifted his body and leaned into his grandmother's arms.

"Yes, every fifteenth, this wolf turns into a red-robed boy, goes to the temple fair on earth, uses spells to confuse those girls wandering the streets, takes them to the wilderness, and brings the moon."

And it is precisely because of the hearts and blood of those who have negative hearts that the moon has been consistently red as blood for these one hundred and fifty years.

"Grandma, grandma, am I not going to be eaten?" The young man sat up suddenly and said excitedly.

"Why won't you be eaten?" Grandma looked at the boy, asked him with a soft smile, and blinked, "Because the wolf has become a man, and I am also a boy, so naturally I won't be eaten." ”

"You little slippery head, grandma didn't say anything, how do you know that the wolf will only become a man?"

"Ah, why?" the young man touched his head and asked puzzledly, "because, ah, that evil wolf eats the negative people in the world, and the negative people are not just women." ”

"Then why is the moon white now, has the wolf been freed from the curse?"

......................................................................................................................................................................

"Don't worry, you listen to grandma tell you slowly." That evil wolf, every fifteen o'clock, will come down to the mortal world, turn into a red-robed son, and go to find someone to eat. It has wandered in the world for more than 150 years and has eaten countless negative people in the world.

But no matter how hard the wolf tries, he still can't eat the negative people in the world.

So, the evil wolf felt that since he couldn't finish eating in the fifteenth day, he might as well go to the world on the first day of the new year. So, the evil wolf also began to come down to the mortal world on the first day of the first month, but what he didn't expect was that only one time when he first went to the mortal world, he never ate a negative person since then.

On the first day of the first day of the new year, the evil wolf turned into a man in red, went down to the mortal world, and as soon as he reached the ground, he hurried to the market, but when he was rushing to the downtown area, he passed by a small bridge, and on the bridge stood a girl, dressed in white, looking at the red moon in the sky, looking at it stupidly, as if looking at a lover. ”

When the evil wolf saw this, his face was silent, and his heart was indeed overjoyed, and he had no prey before he went to the city.

So the evil wolf stepped forward and asked, "Why is the girl looking at the moon here by the railing, and she is lonely, isn't it bitter?" ”

The girl stood on the bridge, slowly turned her head, and saw that her face was beautiful, her teeth were white and her lips were red, she was a beautiful woman, she did not apply powder, but she was like a fairy in the sky, and she had never seen it in her life for more than 150 years.

I saw the evil wolf in the sky, but he was also stunned. The woman smiled and spoke. "The son doesn't know, for the little girl, there is a bright moon in this sky, and I don't know how much fireworks are better than the world.

In the past, the moonlight was dim at this moment, and it should have been in the fifteenth direction, so it was the same today, so I was curious and stopped. ”

After hearing this, the red-robed boy lowered his head, sighed, and arched his hand and said, "That's a little abrupt, I don't know if I disturb the girl Yaxing, and I hope the girl is not strange." ”

After the red-robed boy finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, the girl just raised her hand to stay, which was touching.

"It's okay, I look at Gongzi's cold temperament, not like a mortal person, similar to the bright moon in the sky. Since the son said that the little girl is lonely, why not accompany the little girl to say a few more words to entertain the loneliness. The red-robed boy listened, thought for a moment, and said in an echo, "Well, since the girl is invited, how can Yu not obey." ”

The boy also walked up to the bridge and stood side by side with the girl, one red and one white, as if in heaven and earth. In this silent darkness, there were a few chuckles from time to time, and a wisp of osmanthus fragrance floated.

"And then, and then? Was that sister eaten by a wolf?! The boy asked hurriedly.

Between the words of the boy and the girl, there is inevitably a little resonance, not a few moments, the two will know each other for many years as if relatives and friends have been unconscious, time is like flowing water, it is difficult to keep, and the girl also came home when the wolf saw this and naturally did not want to give up, so he secretly cast a spell to bewitch the girl's mind.

But between talking and laughing, it didn't work at all, because of the curse, the red-robed boy couldn't take it violently, so he had to look at Youyou's shadow and say goodbye and leave.

......................................................................................................................................................................

Since then, the wolf has never eaten a person, and on the fifteenth day of every new year, the two agree to meet at the bridge. A year later, the girl and Childe had become close friends. And on September 15 of this year, as usual, the evil wolf turned into a son and went down to the mortal world.

"There are some things delayed on the road of Xiaosheng, so the girl has been waiting for a long time."

"It doesn't matter, why should Childe and I be obsessed with the subtleties. But today, I also wore a white robe, which was usually a red robe, and it was very fancy. ”

When the girl saw that today's son was dressed differently than usual, she also laughed when she felt love. When the son heard that the beautiful woman in front of him was having fun, he was not annoyed, and in every move, he was also clean and easy, and he was beautiful.

"I see that the girl's white clothes are cold, her gestures are moving, and she will follow her example today, imitating the girl in white, and I hope the girl is not strange."

When the girl heard this, she felt a little ashamed, so she made an angry move, "Gongzi Yu is facing the wind, dressed in white, he is like a jade, and the pine is like a green, where do I blame you, don't you make fun of me." ”

The girl was ashamed and angry, turned around, faced with the spring waves under the bridge, every move, like the shadow of the moon, the beautiful and unworldly son saw this, and hurriedly apologized. The girl smiled and said, "I just think it's interesting, open your mouth for fun, don't take it to heart." ”

When the son heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard the woman say, "When I came, I saw the flow of people gathered and went to the south of the city, although there were temple fairs in the past, but it was not as crowded as today, so I couldn't help but be curious, and asked an old man, but said that today's princess Qionghua in the imperial city is full of moon, and the emperor ordered the father-in-law to set off fireworks in the south of the city, so that there is today's grand scene, but I don't know if the prince is willing to accompany me to see it." ”

After the girl finished speaking, she stood stupidly and looked closely at the son in front of her.

When the "good" girl heard this, she smiled, took the hand of the child, and walked to the south of the city.

The two walked all the way, passing from the north of the city, and slowly walked to the south of the city, the flow of people was bustling, all kinds of shops were also soliciting customers, and those rouge shops passed by many houses, which did not make the girl tempted, but was attracted by the face of the one who bought masks downstairs in the city, "Look at you, there are masks sold there, come quickly." ”

The girl saw a cart in the distance, and hurriedly said that the two of them squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of the cart, which was colorful, and there were the Monkey King, Erlang Zhenjun, but there were also Mrs. Qingliangshan, Lijiang River Girl and so on.
