Chapter 6: The Secret of the Jungle (6)

After she released the white dove, she lay on the weeds in the prison, looking at the dust carried by the pigeons, and her mind began to drift in the world of fantasy again.

In the imminent dream, she noticed a rainbow in front of her eyes, this rainbow spanned the heavens and the earth, and the beautiful colorful light swayed in front of her eyes.

She caressed the colorful rays of light, which were as soft as flowing water between her fingers, and the patterns carved on them were as beautiful as satin.

Jingliana walked up from the end of the rainbow, when she was about to go to the center, she saw a vague figure, when he got closer and closer to herself, Jingliana saw that the person was Dugu Arrow, she saw her husband holding twelve lilies in his hand, she took the lily of Dugu Arrow, held it in the palm of her hand, they snuggled up to each other, their figures were reflected in the pond under the rainbow bridge, Jingliana asked him to look at the fish in the water, a fish swam over, looking at all this, as if lost itself, it wagged its tail, I don't know if it was in the painting or in the flowing water。

When Jingliana wanted to get closer to Dugu Arrow, she found that she was the only one left on the Rainbow Bridge, and the pond suddenly disappeared, she stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, but she couldn't see anything, and when she looked back at the Rainbow Bridge, the bridge also disappeared, she felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless black hole, her hands were groping around, her fingertips touched the hard wall, at this time, she realized that she was still in prison, and the rainbow bridge was just an illusory dream, indeed, the dream of favor had made them very happy, but after happiness, it was eternal darkness。

Jingliana looked at herself in the night, looking at the angry wind in the night, she closed her eyes, and a river appeared in front of her eyes, which was the Milky Way flowing in the sky, she looked at one end of the Milky Way, saw the Cowherd Star, she looked at the other side of the Milky Way, and saw the Vega Star, she waited for the loneliness of the two constellations, endured the same loneliness as them, and silently raised her head to take helplessness as silence, at this time, the angry wind in her ears blew louder, and the distance of the constellations seemed to be blocked by the cold moonlight again, and gradually, she remembered the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl。

Legend has it that the Weaver Girl is the daughter of the Queen Mother, she is ingenious, good at weaving, can weave colorful clouds with a pair of skillful hands, there is an orphan in the world called the Cowherd, although he is hardworking, but has been living a poor life alone, soon, the Weaver Girl because she is tired of the life of the heavenly court and ran down to the mortal world, one day, she took a bath by the water by the lake, it happened that the Cowherd herded the cow through this lake, under the guidance of the old cow, he took away the clothes of the Weaver Girl, the Weaver Girl knew that the Cowherd was a diligent man and fell in love with him, and finally they became husband and wife under the witness of the old cow。

Since then, the male farmer and the female weaver, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a happy life, who knew that the Weaver Girl went down to the world to marry the Queen Mother to know, she was furious, sent the heavenly soldiers to capture the Weaver Girl back to the heavenly court, the Cowherd with the help of the old cow, with a basket loaded with children chased to the sky, the Queen Mother saw the Cowherd chasing, she used the silver hairpin on the head to draw a Milky Way between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, the surging river ruthlessly separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both banks, they had to cry across the river to look at each other, and then the Queen Mother saw them crying sadly, moved by compassion, and ordered the magpie to pass the word to let them meet every seven days, who knew that the magpie passed the wrong word, said to meet once a year on July 7So the queen mother punished the magpie to build a bridge for them, and every year on the evening of July 7, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met on the bridge made of magpies and poured out their hearts.

Jingliana recalled the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, looked at herself, she felt that she was the epitome of the Weaver Girl, and she looked at the night, there was nothing in the night, how could she comfort her.

At this time, she remembered Dugu Arrow, the figure that was both distant and close, she hoped that Dugu Arrow could come sooner, and also hoped that the King of Dawn would hurry up and let her out, but she didn't understand that expectation was the most perfect despair, and despair was the longest expectation......
