Chapter 2: The Secret of the Jungle (2)

Dugu Arrow was lying in the flowers, and he felt as if he was lying in the happy heavens. Purple-red flowers bloomed on the top of his head, his body grew into verdant leaf petals, and his feet became roots of a crouching dragon. He slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was a lavender, and the flowers, petals, and roots were exactly the same as the lavender beside him. Dugu Arrow blinked, he knew that there were countless lavender plants touching his budding heart, gradually, he closed his eyes, the scent of lavender rushed into his brain, that fragrant smell like a thick chocolate flavor evoked his crystal-transparent first love.

At that time, Dugu Arrow went hunting alone in the woods, he was skillful, intelligent, and a hunting genius. Every time he goes out hunting, he can catch all kinds of prey, but gradually, for some reason, there will always be an inexplicable sentimentality in his heart, and every time he hunts, a fluttering woman will appear in his mind. Yet the more he thought about it, the deeper he sank, and the more he thought about such a woman, he became more and more indifferent to hunting. Whenever he slept in the cabin, he could not help but think that this woman was beside him, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach her heart. The end of happiness is both the beginning of first love and the beginning of pain, sometimes it is very close to us, but sometimes it is far, far away from us.

Dugu Jian's mother saw her son's thoughts, so she said to him: "Arrow, as long as you can bring back a lavender every time you return from hunting, then you can find your love." ”

"Mother, then how can I get it, and where does it grow?" Dugu Jian frowned and said distressedly. The mother stroked her son's head and said kindly, "Arrow, lavender grows in the depths of the mountains, and if you touch it with a sincere heart, you will surely find lavender." ”

"But mother, what I need is a woman who truly loves me, not a small lavender!" Dugu Jian shook his head and said suspiciously.

The mother smiled kindly, and she said, "Do you know? Lavender represents waiting for love, and as long as you keep waiting silently like this, love will come to you quietly." That's how your father waited for me, and we lived a life of affection and love. ”

"Mother, how many lavender plants do I need to find?" said Dugu Jian, snuggling up to his mother.

"There are twelve lavender plants in the depths of the mountain, and these twelve lavender plants grow in all corners of the mountain, as long as you find them all and plant them in the courtyard of our house, then the beautiful woman in your heart will appear. Dugu Jian's mother pointed into the distance and said meaningfully.

After listening to his mother's words, Dugu Arrow went to the depths of the mountain to look for the twelve lavender, he searched for the foot of the mountain, climbed the top of the mountain, climbed the cliff, and almost walked all over the mountain, after his efforts and persistence, the twelve lavender plants were finally found, he planted them in his yard, at that time, a strange white light suddenly appeared in the sky, and the twelve lavender turned into a beautiful woman under the light of the white light, and this woman later became Dugu Jian's wife - Jingliana.

The fiery red sun warms the heart of the earth, its colorful colors do not know whether it steals the brilliance of the stars, or robs the charm of the moonlight, the rolling dew on the grass has long been gone, but there are still traces of dew on the leaf petals, I don't know whether they are hidden in the ground, or fly into the sky, a large area of round pebbles burst out with a bright luster, they flow forward like a clear river, and like countless beautiful stars are embedded in the Milky Way.

Dugu Arrow was still walking on a white horse, beads of sweat were rolling on his forehead, his red cheeks were hot, his back was wet, as if he had just climbed out of the bath, the white horse's steps were getting slower and slower, and there was a thunderous pant in his nostrils. Dugu Arrow raised his head and looked at the sky, the sunlight pierced his eyes, and he felt his head groggy, as if he had been put into a steaming stove.

Then the sun knocked on the door of his heart through his eyes, and he kept saying to himself: Na, are you okay now? Do you see me coming towards you? Do you see the white horse? The sound of its clattering hooves brought me away. I see you, you're still so beautiful, your smile is still the most beautiful. I know I can't give you eternal love, but I will give you eternal happiness in a far away place. I will send my wish to the shooting star every night, and it will convey my heart, my blessings to you, and I am sure that you will feel my thoughts, my beloved, because my heart is bound to your heart for eternity.

Dugu Arrow rode on the white horse and continued to hurry, he took out the crystal ball in the cloth bag and looked at it, and found that it reflected the shadow of Jingliana covered by loneliness, he touched it with his hand, and a faint sadness surged from the bottom of his heart to his throat, he held the crystal ball tightly, like holding all of his wife, he knew in his heart that whether the crystal ball could be safely returned to the hands of Lan Xingye, the king of light, meant that his wife could be successfully rescued, he refused to put it back in the cloth bag for a long time, and wanted to look at it more, even if it was a short last look, because on this crystal ball there was their happy past, and it might also reflect their bright future。

The birds took away the withered clouds in the sky, but they could not take away the traces it left behind, those mutilated traces remained in the sky, and also remained in the passing years, pure white clouds like marshmallows clustered together, like galloping horses, like roaring lions, like happy swimming fish, staying in the kingdom of the sky and refusing to fade, the flowers blooming in the grass ushered in the crimson dawn, sent away the beautiful twilight, they performed their own stories in their own world, and those fragmentary stories have an immortal legend.

Dugu Arrow reluctantly put the crystal ball back into the cloth bag, and then came to the ridge full of sunflowers, he looked into the distance, in addition to the sunflowers in his eyes, the sunflowers in the distance are still sunflowers, those sunflowers in the distance are farther away than the distance. He dismounted, walked into the world of sunflowers, and stroked the petals of the sunflower with his hand, and found that the sunflower's flower plate was smiling at him, and gradually, he felt the smiling face of Crystal Lena reflected in the flower plate, and he clutched the sunflower's branch tightly, trying to look at her more clearly, but the more he tried like this, the more Crystal Lena's face became blurred.

At this time, he didn't know if his wife was still as beautiful as this large field of sunflowers, and he didn't know which of the sunflowers in the sky was the holy place he longed for, but he felt in his heart that the road of never-ending pursuit would continue silently in the mystery of hope and disappointment. So, Dugu Arrow quickens his pace, and he wants to discover his wife's secret in the land of sunflowers. Green leaves and petals rippled between his body, his mind went blank, time seemed to stand still, and gradually, he felt that he had bathed in the legend of the sunflower.
