Chapter 1: The Secret of the Jungle (1)
a)
The dawn of dawn pierced the silver glittering dream in the sky, and held up a new morning light, the light of the morning sun penetrated into the skin of the earth through the branches and leaves, as if thousands of gold particles had been smashed into powder, and the soaring birds were immersed in the blue of the sky, and they looked back at the sky above this jungle countless times, as if they had forgotten their destination except for the far and far away, the lush trees and the new green confused the eyes of the animals, and accidentally the green slipped into the eyes and made into a half-bottle of watery jade wine, the light mist was like a transparent tulle, and like smooth silk strands intertwined with each other, the hazy shadows flickered, ups and downs, making us feel as if we are passing through one dream-like world after another.
An antique wooden house is hidden in this jungle, which precipitates the charm of elegance and antiquity, brews a graceful and luxurious appearance, like a spirited old man recording the annual rings of the golden years. The quaint window lattice is like a girl's clear eyes, the layers of gorgeous patterns are the eyebrows above the eyelashes, peeking into the girl's heart in shyness, the eaves are high and protruding and extending forward, as if touching the traces of their own walks, and as if praying for the glory of yesterday can also continue in the present day, the green tiles on the roof are piled up layer by layer, and the heavy dust fills its body, but those dust does not make the green tiles old, but makes their eternal youthful heart gain passion in the collision, the straight chimney stands quietly, and the curling smoke slowly rises, and it dyes the sky red with the family's good wishes, reflecting the blue sea.
Dugu Arrow pushed open the wooden door and walked out, he was handsome, gentle, and a brave hunter. He was dressed in a thick velvet coat, carrying a quiver full of sharp arrows on his shoulder, and holding in his hand a crystal ball that was so large and immaculate that the light it emitted illuminated his hands white. Then he walked briskly to the stable by the side of the hut, where a fierce white horse was eating the grass in the manger, and he walked over, led the white horse to the path in front of the hut, and then stroked the horse's mane gently, looked solemnly into the horse's eyes, patted it on the back, and jumped to sit on it. At this time, he looked up into the distance, and the sky was still floating in a light blue full of sorrow.
A moment later, the wooden door was pushed open again, and out came two old men who were in their last years, who were Dugu Jian's parents, and walked over with staggering steps. The father looked at his son, put a hand on the horse's back, and said, "Arrow, the country of light is far from us, so be careful along the way. ”
"No matter what comes your way, you have to persevere, we will always be with you. The mother's voice trembled, and something like the Milky Way flowed in her eyes.
"Father and mother, rest assured, we will always be a family, a family that loves each other. Dugu Arrow pulled the horse rope tightly, and his palms were hot.
"Arrow, you must do your best to save your wife, she gave everything for you, for the two of us, for the whole family. The mother choked up and said, her tears falling on Dugu Jian's heart.
"Mother, I will remember, I will definitely find a way to save Crystal Lena, she is my wife, the person I love most in my life. Dugu Jian held his mother's hand and said firmly.
"Lan Xingye, the King of Light, won't embarrass you, will he still keep his promise?" a trace of melancholy rose between his father's eyebrows, and he said hesitantly.
"Father, I don't think he will embarrass me, he is an enlightened king," Dugu Arrow raised the crystal ball in his hand high and said confidently, "As long as I return this crystal ball to his hands, he will release Jingliana." ”
"That's good, you must be safe, we are waiting for you to come back!" the mother wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at her son's eyes affectionately.
"Father and mother, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself, you also take care of your health, and when your son comes back, I will honor you. As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears, and he put the crystal ball in his hand into the cloth bag and rode forward on a white horse.
As soon as he walked not far away, his mother covered her mouth and nose with her hands and shouted loudly: "Arrow, we are waiting for you to come back!" Dugu Arrow turned the horse's head, looked at the thin body of his parents, turned around again, and galloped away on the white horse. At this time, Dugu Jian's parents looked at their son's increasingly blurred figure, kept waving their hands, and gradually, Dugu Jian had already disappeared into the depths of the jungle, and they still stood there for a long time and refused to leave......
Dugu Jian rode on a white horse galloping, he felt that he was not riding on horseback, but on the shoulders of his parents, the sound of clattering horses' hooves did not take away the sadness in his heart, but evoked a trace of sadness that was more confused than sadness. At this time, the backs of his parents appeared in his mind, and he didn't know when he would be able to return from this trip, and he didn't know if he could rescue Crystal Lena, not to mention that his parents were still alone at home. Who will cook fragrant meals for them, who will clean the dusty house for them, who will relieve them of the loneliness in their hearts, who will eliminate the worries in their thoughts for them, but he can do nothing, on the balance of life, he has focused on love.
There is a balance in everyone's heart, love and family affection, which is more important, which is lighter and which is stronger, all in their own hands. Unconsciously, Dugu Arrow had gone far, far away, his lonely figure was stretched by the guilty soul for a long time, at this time, he raised his head and saw the lavender all over the mountains, the lavender petals flashed with a transparent soft light into his eyes, and he felt as if he had come to a purple-red and purple-red world.
Dugu Arrow jumped off the white horse and came to a large field of beautiful lavender bushes, he gently flicked the bouquet with his hand, the flowers danced in his fingertips, and the palm of his hand was covered with the fragrance of nectar. Gradually, Dugu Arrow seemed to feel that a new power was spreading to his heart through these hands, and he suddenly found himself one with this sea of flowers. He lay down quietly, his whole body bathed in a world adorned with flower petals, and at this time, he felt as if he was held up by the earth, blending with the pale shade of the sky in the sky, and he closed his eyes and slowly recalled the legend of lavender.
There was a beautiful girl in ancient Provence, one day, she was alone in the valley picking budding flowers, and on the way home, she met a wounded traveler from afar who asked her for directions. The girl held a bouquet full of flowers, her eyes looked at the handsome young man affectionately, at that moment, her heart was occupied by the young man's enthusiastic and unrestrained smile, after returning home, the girl ignored the opposition of her family, insisted that the young man stay at home to heal until he healed, as the days passed, the young man's leg injury was healed, and the relationship between the two also heated up rapidly. On a cool morning, the young man was about to say goodbye and leave, and the girl once again ignored the opposition of her family, and wanted to go with him to the hometown of the distant young man full of roses to find happiness. The old grandmother in the village held a handful of newly blooming lavender bouquets before the girl left, and let the infatuated girl use this newly-blooming lavender bouquet to test the sincerity of the young man.
It is said that the fragrance of lavender bouquets will make unclean things appear, and in the early morning when the valley was full of lavender, when the young man took the girl's hand and was about to go away, the girl threw the lavender bouquet hidden in the coat on the young man's body, just like that, a burst of purple light smoke suddenly gathered and dispersed, and the valley could faintly hear the cold wind blowing, as if the young man was whispering: I am the heart you want to travel far! Not long after, the girl disappeared, some people say that she followed the fragrance of flowers to find the youth, some people say that she was also transformed into a wisp of smoke by the youth and disappeared into the valley......
