Golden autumn, brilliant golden autumn, under the blowing of the autumn wind, the golden leaves, fluttering and flying all over the sky; Golden autumn, fruitful golden autumn, under the praise of a hundred birds, heavy ears of grain, swaying, and showing shame; Golden autumn, the beautiful golden autumn of the Northwest Plateau, under the blue sky, six or six geese row eight or nine; Golden autumn, in the sky is high and cool, under the reflection of the river, the depth and shallowness are difficult to predict. It's really beautiful, beautiful and pleasant.

Plateau, the vast plateau, in this boundless wilderness, under this blue sky, from west to east, there is a dragon-like mountain range, look at this mountain range, branch veins and branches, the main peak leads to the main peak, there are mountains outside the mountain, the peak is towering next to the peak, the inside is stacked, layer after layer, as if it is endless. At the eastern end of the mountain range, a stream of clear water flows from two branches.

Walk into the stream, walk along the stream, about five or six miles away from the mountain pass, there is a small village by the mountain and water, there are about 100 households, the village is full of wooden houses that have collapsed several times, the broken courtyard wall, the west wall, the east wall, either the southeast corner of the gap, or the northwest corner of the hole. The wooden house with earthen beams piled up the broken wood bitten by insects, and when it was almost about to collapse, the mountain road at the edge of the village was overgrown with weeds, and it was difficult for cars and horses to walk, and from the perspective of the whole village, the wooden house of this village seemed to have been inherited from the heads of three generations of ancestors and had not been repaired.

However, when you go deeper into the village, when you come to the end of the village, you will see that on the mountainside behind the village, there is a new style of brick wall and tile roof of the white high-rise buildings neatly arranged, the building occupies a forest of trees, the spirit birds are crisp and singing, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, dumb as the inner courtyard of the palace, the pine and cypress in the courtyard surround the hall, the purple bamboo encloses the hall, and there is another pleasant scenery, this village is called Luohua Village, these few tall and magnificent new-style buildings, it is the crystallization of generations of hard farmers in Luohua Village-------- Luohua Temple.

In the small village in front of this ancient temple, there lived a poor peasant family, the head of the family, about 30 years old, was an ordinary peasant, although only more than 30 years, but because of the heavy labor burden, its back has been like a crescent moon after autumn, its forehead can almost touch the ground, the "Sichuan" shaped wrinkles are like mosquitoes and flies on rotten food, and the tattered clothes are full of greasy fishy smell. Like the first slaughter, the butcher drilled out of the field, but the lack of that ferocious ferocity and Zheng Zheng state, this middle-aged man who is not old and decrepit, surrounded by the same height and height as himself, the same thickness, the same aging wife company, the husband and wife only one daughter under the paint, according to its precious meaning named "pearl".

The grandfather of this "pearl" was a Buddhist figure before liberation, a representative of the diehards of the landlord class. He has devoted himself to Buddhism since he was a child, and all the Buddhist scriptures are all incomprehensible and refined, so the descendants of his descendants are naturally some of the views of Buddhism that are obedient to Buddhism, "green out of blue, and better than blue". To the "pearl" of the father's understanding of Buddhism's morality, even more than its ancestors, the so-called close to Zhu is red, close to the ink is black, the mother of the pearl is influenced by her husband and is also addicted to the morality of the door, so that in addition to the young "pearl", the whole family has fallen into the deep pool of Buddhism.

However, the only daughter, "Pearl", hated her parents' actions since she was a child, and she couldn't get used to her parents' words and deeds, so she rarely listened to her parents, and often secretly did things that violated Buddhist morality from her parents. For the sake of the couple, they have beaten and scolded their baby daughter fiercely, but the "pearl", who is born unbelieving in evil, has never succumbed to the scolding and beating of her parents, and still goes her own way, which makes the husband and wife more and more worried and restless.

Seeing that their daughter was growing up and needed to get married, the couple picked it up. I am ready to choose a son-in-law for my daughter who suits her appetite, which goes without saying that of course it is Maitreya who goes in and out of the temple all day long. But this "pearl" happened to be born with a strange nature, like "a pearl in the dark, a phoenix in the flock", the personality is different from her parents, this may be the end of the development of the times, she has hated that kind of religious life since she was a child, what gods, ghosts, she is disgusted when she hears it, and in her mind there is a new era spirit of "destiny is grasped by herself, and opportunities are fought for by herself".

The couple was always upset and restless for not being called a "dragon and phoenix among people", and their daughter "Pearl" knew what her parents meant, and cried all day long in no one's place. Because, in her mind, she doesn't like the so-called "dragon and phoenix among people" at all, due to excessive sadness, in a few days her flower-like girl beauty became haggard, and her eyes seemed to be seriously ill, which made the couple sleepless day and night. But when she saw that her parents were working harder and harder for their illness, she confided her thoughts to her parents, which made the husband and wife who loved their daughters pour a pot of cold water on their fiery hearts, and their bodies were full of ice, so angry that the two of them trembled again and again, and scolded their daughter: "You shameless donkey, I don't know that my family provoked the Buddha in my life and gave birth to you, a rebellious beast ......." A stinking scolding of the dog's blood, scolding her daughter into tears, sad and delicate body rubbing and wanting to fall, in the end, it is the deep love between mother and daughter, when the mother saw her daughter sad like this, she tearfully persuaded and explained: "My good daughter, aren't your parents scolding you indiscriminately?" You are really a big sin of deceiving your ancestors and destroying your teachers, violating the rules of Buddhism! It's an act of betrayal of the Buddha! How can you make this, you see the ancestors of our village for generations

There are girls like you, parents scold you, it's not for your good, and they start crying after they finish speaking." The daughter saw the unkempt silver thread on the top of her mother's head, and her heart softened, although she was reluctant in her heart, but in order not to make her parents sad, she reluctantly said: "Mother, everything is the child's fault, and I will not do it again in the future." Hearing their daughter's confession, the couple full of grief and grief were ecstatic like digging sand out of gold, and threw their full grief and dissatisfaction out of the clouds, especially the mother, who thought that her true feelings had touched her daughter's heart, so she proudly glanced at her husband with that strange eye, as if she was boasting of her ability. But they thought that this was their daughter's helpless lie, a word against their will!

It is really "stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it", on this day, the "pearl" parents of the same way as a matchmaker to talk about a family matter, the man is really a Buddha worshipper with auspicious clouds on his face. It's really "stepping on the iron shoes and nowhere to find it, and it takes all the effort", how to see, it really looks like the Buddha Maitreya, which makes the couple who have not found the "fast son-in-law of the dragon" for a long time very happy, so they hurriedly concealed that their daughter agreed to this family affair, and they were afraid that the man would regret it after a long time, so he urged the man to hold the wedding as soon as possible, and the couple who knew their daughter's character had not dared to tell their daughter about it, for fear that their daughter would be unhappy, so they thought of a plan. It was because of this strategy that a peony that had just bloomed withered as soon as possible, and a young life left this wonderful world with regrets.

Until the day before the wedding, the couple said to their daughter: "Pearl" tomorrow is your uncle's birthday, we are going to congratulate, you also go with us to see the uncle, I have not seen the "pearl" of the uncle's face for a long time and happily responded to the "good", and went to prepare, the couple took the time of the daughter's preparation, put sweat medicine in the prepared meal, and the daughter saw that the parents had prepared the meal, so they ate desperately, and the intended couple just gave their daughter a clip, But he didn't eat at all, and pretended to say, "I've already eaten." In this way, the daughter will eat all the dishes after a while, and when the daughter wants to stand up after eating, she will fall and fall down, and she will not wake up, and the couple will carry the woman who fell to the ground into the inner room and put it on the bed, cover the quilt, and look at the daughter who is still asleep, and the couple will smile heartily.

On the first day, that is, the day of the wedding, due to the poor family background, few relatives and friends, coupled with the lack of food and clothing, the wedding guests who came were only three or three twos, very few, and after a while, the guests were finished, and the guests laughed and dispersed, and the guests just left, and the carriage of marrying relatives had arrived at the door, and the couple carried their unconscious daughter into the carriage and let the marrying relatives take away.

When she saw that she was lying in the carriage, surrounded by red tents on all sides, and then thought about the past, she suddenly realized that her loving father and mother had deceived her and poisoned her, and this was not the way to her uncle's house at all, and she knew that she was about to be persecuted by fate.

She thought back to the past, sad tears appeared in her distracted eyes, she would never do what she was unwilling to do, at this moment, the thought of "death" flashed in his mind, but "death" was too terrible for her, she was only more than ten years old, it was the youth season of life, like flowers are in the budding period, how could she bear to leave this beautiful world, but when she thought that she was about to suffer unwanted persecution, the fear of death, the nostalgia for the world, passed away in a flash, Then he picked up the girl's unique embroidery scissors, closed his eyes and kicked towards his wrist artery, instantly, only heard the sound of "ah", splashed the caravan, poor "pearl" and "peerless beauty" slowly fell into the carriage, the coachman heard this cry, hurriedly stopped the carriage to see, but when he opened the caravan, the newcomer was already angry, he was frightened to scream "ah" and fell to the side of the car......
