Chapter 6 Willow Leaf Buds and the Forester
In the quiet of the night, only the willows rustled, and the forester was distraught by the rustling sound, and the wedding was a few days away. The willow leaf buds have just pulled out a lot of willow branches, and there are catkins all over the ground, catkins are like a kind of fluffy cotton, falling on the ground lightly and weightlessly, it is difficult to clean the woods, and bad things will happen if the woods are not clean.
Sima has a large territory and has planted thousands of willow trees, and the forest keepers begin to worry about whether it is better to plant willow trees first or sweep the catkins when this willow tree sprouts every year. Looking at the fluffy catkins and the matter of welcoming relatives in a few days, my heart turned upside down. This is the first time he has married a wife, and the object is a barley girl from a clay family. I heard that the matchmaker said that the other party's family has the money to make clay jars for generations, and the family has more than a dozen clay workers to make jars, this girl is also snow-white and beautiful, and she is a rare beauty. I am a rough person, and I am afraid that I will not be able to serve this bride who will marry soon.
I fell asleep thinking about it and had a dream at night. Old Willow told him that the weather this year was not suitable for a wife, and that there were a few good days in the coming year. In the eyes of ancient people, a girl who has not left the cabinet is about to marry him when she is looked at by a man, just like Meng Jiangnu, who cried down the Great Wall, was also married after being looked at by the workers at home. Thinking of this, he stubbornly took care of everything about marrying a wife, suddenly raised his foot and kicked it in front of the bronze mirror, knocked the prepared cotton bedding to the ground, and ran to Nanyue to see the bride's barley.
The forest keeper usually climbs the tree very well, so he lies on the wall of the barley's house to look at the barley, and looks at the barley girl in the boudoir wearing a new skirt, walks out of the boudoir, and chases the butterfly all the way to the clay workers who are working, everyone lowers their heads and does not dare to speak, only a young man named Atao glanced at the barley girl. As the saying goes: if you want to fight, you will shoot the first bird!
The forest keeper leaned on the wall and saw it clearly, and suddenly a cloud of anger rose in his heart, this is not the same as what the old willow said, this year is not suitable for marrying a wife. But I heard someone say something inside: Twisted melons are not sweet. As soon as I got home, I cut down the old willow tree and made a new willow bed and put it in the new house. Once Ah Tao's sister Ani went into the mountains to chop wood, and she happened to sit on this willow tree, and when she got home, she began to chirp and curse people, saying that barley snatched her new dress to wear, and sooner or later she would have to pay for her blood debt!
Hearing his sister keep saying this, Tao picked up a letter in his pocket and went out. This letter was a love letter he asked the matchmaker to write to exchange letters with barley, and before the last letter of barley was written, he put it into the clay jar. Hurry up to the clay jar shop to see what happened in the store, it turned out that someone said that the clay jar is only suitable for livestock, and there was a quarrel in the clay jar shop. The barley man was small and thin, and when he saw that Ah Tao kept waving to him, he couldn't get by, he was squeezed by the crowd, and he fell down holding the mud jar newly made by Daddy in his hand.
This person is sometimes cheap, and the day when the water rises and the boat rises, but the day when people are trampled to death. The willow leaves in the mountains sprout again, and the willow leaf sprouts can also be made into a dish, and the willow leaf sprouts can also be the eternal pain of the forest guards. Barley is a kind of grain that should have been eaten like willow leaf buds, but now it has been scattered all over the ground, losing its original freshness and interest.
