The falling light suppresses the sound of the day, and the cracks in the stratus clouds are still blooming with blood-flowing fireworks, and the birds are reluctant to return to the nest calmly. The new leaves in the mountains and forests still chatter fearlessly in the posture of an elder, as if the coming of night had nothing to do with them. Related to them is the wind that flows down from Zhurong Peak.

While the wind blew through the grass and trees, it also blew a pool of spring water in Magu Wonderland and the lonely heart of the young man by the pool.

His original name was Cheng Rang, a modest name, and he gave his father to a distant strange woman to be a man, and he also had a half-sister. His mother was given to a new man to be a wife in a distant land, and he had a half-brother. When he was a child, the children in the mountains used to laugh at him because of this. So, his grandmother, who was dependent on him, changed his name to Chengliu when he was in the fourth grade, and he was called Chengliu, the left-behind children's Liu.

The saddest thing is that my grandmother also left at the end of last year, when my parents came back to mourn, the three of them looked at each other and cried, and after the tears dried, the three still didn't love each other. His father and mother agreed to pay him a fixed monthly living allowance until he was 18 years old. But when they found out that when their grandmother died, Nariyu, who had been in a grade, was nearly 18 years old, so they decided to extend their living expenses until they graduated from high school.

Grandma is gone, the last reliance is gone, and at the same time, the last fetters seem to be gone. In April, the colorful tail was approaching, and the new shoots had already grown into seedlings, and it was past the time to plant melons and beans, but he asked for a third leave of absence from school on the grounds that he would go home to help his grandmother plant vegetable seeds. The school knew that he and his grandmother depended on each other, but they didn't know that his grandmother had died, so the teacher who never expected his grades would usually be reasonable because of his filial piety, after all, the teacher didn't know when the vegetable seeds should be planted.

Chengliu sat on the edge of the pool, his feet shaking the pool water gathered by the clear mountain spring, and suddenly several toads jumped into the water and swam to the Magu sculpture in the middle of the pool. Magu rode a fairy deer, dignified and elegant, which reminded him of the Magu totem hanging at home, and also remembered the story that his grandfather told him more than a hundred years ago when he was alive-

At that time, it was still the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and in order to escape the war of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the ancestor led several families of his clan with a total of more than 20 people to flee from Guangxi to Hunan, and hid in the dense forests of Hengshan Mountain all the way north. The clansmen lived fairly stable in the mountains, and the locals also treated the clansmen with courtesy, until more than ten years passed, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom collapsed, and there were suddenly a lot of regimental training soldiers in the mountains who spoke Xiangxiang accents. Later, I learned that Zeng Guoquan, the first general who defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was going to find a treasure on Hengshan Mountain to build a tomb, and often asked the mountain people to help. Because Zeng Jiushuai made a generous move, the young and strong men in the clan also rushed to contribute.

At first, some people talked about Zeng Jiushuai to hide the treasures obtained from the "Tianjing" in the mountains, because the whole of Hunan knew that the Hunan army had made a fortune when fighting "Long Hair", and each of them had been beaten into silk and satin from the ragged clothes at the beginning, and from the penniless at the beginning to the waist was wrapped in thousands of dollars. But later, according to the clansmen who participated in the construction of the Nine Shuai's clothed mounds, there were no other treasures except for one of the official robes of the Nine Shuais, and it was just a well-dressed mound.

Miraculously, not long after the mound was closed, Zeng Jiushuai was promoted again and left, leaving more than a dozen soldiers to guard it. After a few months, the soldiers led several tribesmen to kill a deer, and then the captain of the soldiers distributed the venison to every family in the clan, and only cut off the newly grown deer antler velvet and put it into Zeng Jiushuai's clothes and mound, saying that it was filial piety to Jiushuai and wishing him good luck in the north. At that time, his grandfather's great-grandfather was still young, and he was very pitiful to see the sika deer that was killed, so he didn't eat venison. After that, the soldiers left, and before leaving, they gave a large sum of money to the clansmen who lived near the mound and asked them to take care of the mound of the nine marshals. The clansmen are grateful for the great kindness of the nine marshals, regard this as a career, and take care of it dutifully according to their duties.

But in less than ten days, the soldier captain returned here alone, and spent a lot of money to invite all the young men and women in the clan away. Half a day after everyone left, Grandpa's great-grandfather woke up from his nap and saw a fairy-like woman, sewing a needle and thread on his small chest. He looked down and almost fainted, an incision that split from his chest to his lower abdomen. The flesh and blood between his chest and abdomen were blurred, and strangely, he didn't feel the slightest pain. A deer with its horns cut off, glowing with a faint golden light, stood behind the woman with a hint of anger in her eyes.

In a daze, the grandfather's grandfather watched the woman stitch up his wounds, and watched the woman ride on the back of a deer and fly away in the clouds, but he couldn't move at all. When he woke up again, he was once again shocked by the shocking scene in front of him - the old man in the family was lying in front of the corpse in a blur. He struggled to get up and went to the neighbor's family for help, but when he got to the neighbor's house, where was there still a way to live? But none of the old and young women and children were spared. He thought that the murderer was the captain of the soldiers, and he couldn't resist the enemy, so he dragged the sick body down the mountain secretly to the government to report the case.

waited for the officers and soldiers to come up, but they didn't see a young man in the clan come back, so the grandfather's great-grandfather took the yamen to the tomb of Zeng Jiuye. The entrance of the tomb was newly opened, and it was closed at this time, and the catchers opened the entrance of the tomb, lit the torch and entered the tomb, only to find that all the young men of the clan had been dead for a long time, and strangely, the body of the soldier captain was also among them, a steel knife, through the chest.

Later, the grandfather's grandfather told the story of the fairy riding the deer and killing the deer before the catchers, and everyone was shocked, and they all said that it was the revenge of the Magu deer, and said that it was fortunate that he didn't eat the venison, otherwise Magu would not save him, and then bowed his head and prayed, praying that the deer would not be angry with him. Grandpa's great-grandfather remembered the angry eyes of the deer, and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart. He saw all this with his own eyes, so he believed in the revenge of the deer even more, and worshiped Magu who saved him as a god. The story of Shenlu's revenge and Magu's rescue spread in Hengshan, and over time, Magu and Shenlu became local gods in this area. Of course, grandpa's grandfather can't take revenge on a sacred deer, but he also has to thank Magu for saving his life, so the statue of Magu fairy without riding a deer has become a family totem.

Chengliu looked at the stone statue of Magu blankly, and wanted to ask Magu: Why don't you let your grandmother live a long life? Leaving me alone, with parents, it's better not to have parents, why did you save your grandfather's grandfather back then? It's better to let the incense break at that time. He thought of his grandfather again, who was also a poor man, not a grandmother, but a grandfather who was the best for himself, except for giving birth to an incompetent father for himself, he had not done anything bad. If Magu didn't save his grandfather's grandfather back then, wouldn't there be no grandfather, no grandfather, then who would be good to herself? So he retracted his complaint in his heart about Magu saving his ancestors. After taking it back, as a reward, it seemed that Magu opened the door to Chengliu's brain again, which made him suddenly think that if there was no grandfather's grandfather, there would be no grandfather, and there would be no grandmother without grandfather. He suddenly felt that he had saved his grandparents...... But they're no longer there. The wind blew, his vision blurred, facing Magu, he didn't admit that he was crying, it was just the wind blowing the sand into his eyes. He explained in his mind. Grandma said that if there is anything to say to the Bodhisattva, I thought in my heart, the Bodhisattva must be able to hear it, and Magu is no exception.

The frogs chirped gradually, the night became thicker, and the colorful lights by the pool continued the splendor. A koi fish fluttered towards the shore, and he fixed his eyes to see a golden toad lying on the head of the koi, its two front paws deeply embedded in the fish's eyes. This is a golden toad hugging a carp, the old man said it was a good omen, but grandma died, and my parents were gone, like a good omen? He suddenly felt like the fish that was struggling, blinded by a toad and lost the beauty of the whole world. But he didn't have a choice, and all grief was passive. He immediately hated the toad, picked up the stick, beat the toad away, and then scooped up the fish that had lost its ability to take care of itself. He decided to feed it, and in the empty house where he used to live with his grandmother, at least he had a partner to depend on for a while. After he left, there was a surging frog cry from Magu Wonderland, to be precise, a toad call.
