Chapter 31: Light
Li Suyun said to Jiang Jianlong while eating grilled fish: "I remember that when I was in junior high school, I also liked to write some poems, but then as I grew older, I gradually lost interest, but I have always liked to read poetry, and every time I read poetry, I feel very happy, just like I just finished reading your poems, and I feel that my mood and temperament have been sublimated and edified." ”
Jiang Jianlong said with a smile: "Don't say that, I'm just boring in my spare time to make up and write some, you must not compare me with those poets in the books." ”
Li Suyun said: "Don't be modest, this is my real psychological feeling." I think only people with sincere feelings can write poems well, because poetry is the product of the sublimation of feelings, and it is not related to the world. ”
Jiang Jianlong smiled and said, "You are a critic of poetry. ”
Li Suyun said: "I don't dare to say that I am a poetry critic, but at least I have taught and know the basic methods of article criticism, such as the meaning of poetry and the artistic conception of sentences, which are all experiences gained from correcting students' compositions." ”
The two of them were talking while eating the freshly grilled fish skewers, and when the fish skewers were all eaten, Li Suyun said to Jiang Jianlong: "I found that in addition to writing poems, you also like to write fables, anyway, I am full now, why don't you tell me another fable about love." ”
Jiang Jianwen raised his head and pondered for a while, and muttered in his mouth: "About love...... well, I know a fable about love." ”
Jiang Jianlong then began to say: "It is said that in ancient times, there was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and at night, he lived in a broken temple with no one around, at this time, a demon became beautiful, and the bewitching beautiful girl walked into the broken temple, she kept scratching her head and making gestures with affection for the scholar, the scholar couldn't hold it, and soon she was confused by it, and the scholar then told the devil that he became a beautiful woman very sincerely, and he loved her very much, and wanted her to follow him into Beijing to catch the exam. The demon-turned-beauty readily agreed, but she told the scholar that her body was very thin, and that she had to absorb people's yang energy every day to survive, and that she had a strange disease, and that she could not bask in the sun during the day, and if she caught the sun, her skin would rot.
The scholar was very embarrassed and said, "What should I do then?" Then you can't go to Beijing with me to take the exam! ”
The demon said, "Don't worry, I have a horse, you go all the way in the direction of Beijing during the day, and I will speed up my horse at night, and I will be able to catch up soon." ”
The scholar admired her very much, didn't care about her so many problems, and felt that the method she came up with was okay, so he agreed to her.
Since then, the scholar has been walking all the way to Beijing during the day, and every time in the middle of the night, the demon will ride a white horse to the scholar's side to have a tryst with him, and then she will absorb his yang energy. Over time, the scholar's yang energy was greatly damaged, and finally he couldn't even walk, and finally one day, on the way, he fainted in a woodland. He was dying, unconscious.
Fortunately, there is a fairy who passed by here, saw that he was about to die, kindly rescued him, and conveyed his fairy qi to him, the scholar got the fairy of the fairy, from the ghost gate and came back to life, after the scholar sobered up, the fairy continued to take care of him, and gradually fell in love with the scholar.
When one day, when the scholar has fully recovered, the fairy told the scholar bluntly: "I am a fairy in the sky, in order to save you, I have given you all the fairy energy in my body, and now I have been reduced to mortal dust, I hope you can marry me, and it will not be in vain for my efforts." ”
The scholar who rushed to take the exam, seeing that this fairy who was reduced to mortal dust for his own sake was dignified, delicate, and would take care of people, if the degree of matching, he was very suitable for himself, but he politely rejected the fairy, and said: "Before you, I have promised others, saying that I want to marry her, and the eldest husband is difficult to chase after him, since he has made an oath, he must abide by it, and it is only to blame that you appeared after her." ”
When the fairy heard this, she left the scholar heartbroken, and never appeared again.
And when the fairy left the scholar, every late at night, the scholar would look forward to the arrival of the beautiful woman transformed by the demon. Finally, in his daily entanglement, the beauty that the demon changed appeared again, she was still the same charming as before, the same bewildered the scholar, the scholar also continued to live a day without stopping, and at night with the beautiful woman who was transformed by the devil, the day of being sucked yang, and time passed day by day, the scholar's yang energy was soon to be sucked dry, and at this time there was no fairy to save him, there was just a greedy, terrible, even the demon who didn't want to change again crawled beside him, Absorbing the only trace of yang energy left in his body, although the truth has been revealed, the scholar still has a glimmer of hope for the demon, and he asked weakly: "I have paid so much for you, don't you have a little affection for me, haven't you ever been moved?" ”
The demon laughed violently: "Did I force you to pay for me? Did I force you? It's all your willingness, feelings, if you can satisfy me, I will have feelings, if you can't satisfy me, I will have no feelings, you have no yang now, it is equivalent to waste to me, do you think I will have feelings for waste? ”
In the end, the scholar died in bitter remorse, leaving behind only a stiff, bloodless body. ”
After Li Suyun heard Jiang Jianlong finish speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you talking about me?" ”
Jiang Jianlong was silent for a while and said: "In fact, it is not terrible to insist on someone, persistence, what is terrible is to persist until the end and find that person is not an angel!" I'm the same as you, I'm the one in the story, in the face of love, we can't tell which one is the devil and which is the angel, we have been looking for the one in life that can make us satisfied, and can stay with each other for life, when we get it, it will be dependent, so that once we encounter the abandonment of others, it will feel like the sky is falling, and all the joys of life are over, in fact, in retrospect, people are a single individual, we can only restrain ourselves, but we can't restrain others, and control other people's thinkingI think living in the moment and living for yourself is the best state of existence. ”
After hearing this, Li Suyun said: "Perhaps, I feel that my inner desire to survive is being awakened by you little by little." ”
When Jiang Jianlong heard it, he said: "Then my goal has been achieved." ”
Li Suyun asked bluntly: "Is your purpose just to prevent me from seeking death?" ”
Jiang Jianlong was a little embarrassed and said, "Then what do you think?" ”
Li Suyun said half-jokingly: "I thought you liked me?"
After Jiang Jianlong heard this, he said hesitantly: "Why, how can it be ......?"
