Chapter 3: The Secret of the Jungle (3)
Cleita is a mizusawa nymph who one day meets Apollo, the sun god who is hunting, in the woods, and she is so fascinated by this handsome god that she falls madly in love with him. However, Apollo left without even looking at her. Cleita eagerly awaited the day when Apollo would speak to her, but she never met him again.
So she could only stare at the sky every day, watching Apollo drive across the sky in a golden sun car. She watched Apollo's journey intently until he descended the mountain. Every day she sat like this, her hair was disheveled, her face was haggard, and when the sun rose she looked at the sun, and then, when the gods took pity on her, they turned her into a great golden sunflower. Her face turned into a flower plate, forever facing the sun, following him every day, telling him about her eternal love.
Dugu Arrow walked through the jungle of sunflowers, and the scent of sunflowers hit his heart one after another. He sniffed the scent of his wife in a trance, the scent of Crystal Lena was as pure as the scent of sunflowers, and gradually, a flower disc appeared in his eyes, and the petals on the edge of the flower disc fell into his memory one after another, and he felt that layers of yellow petals fell in his mind, and slowly, he walked into Crystal Lena's dream.
At that time, Dugu Arrow and Jingliana were in the honeymoon period of love, and the two of them were as sticky as they were as close as their own shadows. They often walked into the fragrant sunflower field, where they felt the mysterious smell of each other, the two of them chased each other, Jingliana picked a few sunflowers and threw them back, Dugu Arrow walked behind, he threw the green leaves in his hand, and when they were tired of playing, they lay flat in the sunflower field, looking at the blue sky. At this time, the sky seemed to shrink suddenly, and the layers of green leaves and petals brought them closer and closer, and the two of them lay quietly like this, feeling each other's heartbeats and feeling each other's breathing.
Once, they still went to the sunflower field, Jingliana walked in front, Dugu Arrow followed behind, they walked forward silently, suddenly, Dugu Arrow's heart stirred up a trace of affection, should he show love to Jingliana? They have been in love for so long, but they have never confessed to her. So he ran over and put his arm around Jingliana's waist from behind, he wanted to tell her how much he loved her, Jingliana didn't answer, her face was flushed with a red tide, but Dugu Arrow still didn't know if Jingliana was really in love with him, he let go of his hand, reached out to pick a sunflower, and knelt on the ground, begging her to marry him, Jingliana's face was smiling, she gently helped him up, held the sunflower in the palm of her hand, she didn't say anything, and pulled Dugu Arrow's hand over with her other hand and put it in the position of her heart。 At this point, he understood everything, the smile on his face was as bright as the sun, and he embraced Crystal Lena into his arms, and the two of them stood quietly in the sunflower field, as if the whole world had melted into this golden sunflower field.
The beautiful dusk tugs at the heartstrings of the sky, it wants to immerse its colors in the last cloud on the horizon, but it is helplessly immersed in the eternal starry night, the red sunset burns half of the sky, it quietly stalemates with the nostalgia for the day, and the cold war with the night; the grass on the earth dances in the heart of the breeze, they are afraid that they will not enjoy the last caress of the sunset, and they are even more afraid that they will be forgotten by the footprints of the earth and cannot find a way out in the quicksand of the wasteland.
Dugu Arrow rode a white horse to the other side of the sunset, in the background of dusk, he was the most beautiful landscape, he took out the crystal ball in the cloth bag, the bright light emitted by the crystal ball was extraordinarily beautiful under the sunset, but he knew that the crystal ball was valuable, and their love was priceless, he moved the crystal ball to his eyes, and saw a small self on it, this little self was exploring the secret of the crystal ball, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the little self, he didn't know what was hidden in the crystal ball, and he didn't know how much charm it would make everyone crazy and obsessed。
His pupils were dilating little by little, as if the crystal ball would fly away from his eyes immediately, but he still couldn't see the secret in the crystal ball, maybe one day he would suddenly understand something, maybe it would be a puzzle that would never be answered. Dugu Arrow put the crystal ball back into the cloth bag, and he looked up farther away than the distance, and galloped away on the white horse. At this time, Dugu Arrow came to a vast prairie, standing here, he felt that the earth seemed to be raised a lot, and the blue sky seemed to pour down from the sky, he looked back at the road he had walked, and the jungle was gradually erased by sadness in the sound of horses' hooves. He saw something flying, yes, it was the wind, behind the wind was the wind, above the sky was the sky, and in front of the road was the road.
He jumped off his horse and walked on the grassland, the wind in his ears whistling like waves, cooling the back of his ears and blowing through his heart, and he felt as if there was a river in his body, gurgling in the gray world of ice and fire. He stooped down and picked up a stone, and threw it into the distance, and the stone drew a graceful arc in the sky with his melancholy, his sorrow, and his pain, and then he heard the stone whirring in the wind, like the sound of a flower blooming, condensed into heaven, penetrated his soul, and turned into an eternal star. He fell sideways on the prairie, and let out a long sigh of relief, at this time he no longer wanted to talk about the past, pain or happiness, life does not bring, death does not take away, no night can make him sleep, no dawn can wake him up, he just lies here happily alone and feels another happiness after relief. Suddenly, a speck of dust fell into his eyes, and Crystal Lena appeared in his eyes again.
It was a few days before they were about to get married, Dugu Jian stayed in the wooden house all day, he pondered to make a beautiful ornament for Jingliana to show his heart, after some hard thinking, he found a blank paper, folded out twelve thousand cranes, and found twelve dyes to color, he connected these twelve thousand cranes with a red thread, and embellished them into a beautiful string of thousand cranes. When Jingliana came home, he gave it to her with his own hands, Jingliana looked at this string of thousands of cranes, tears welled up in her eyes, and snuggled on Dugu Jian's shoulder, she felt that she was one of them, although these twelve thousand cranes were ordinary, but this was a piece of his heart, maybe the most ordinary thing is the most precious. At this time, Dugu Arrow felt that he was back in reality, he looked at the sky, there were two thousand cranes flying into the distance, they all have only one wing, they are broken, maybe this is the true meaning of happiness, everyone can not be perfect, it is precisely because of imperfection that we will cherish the hard-won happiness, and only such imperfection will we look for perfection in imperfection.
Dugu Arrow looked at the thousand cranes in the distance, he felt that his heart was broken little by little, he knew that his thousand cranes were on the other side of the sky, and his injured thousand cranes could only rely on loneliness, he looked into the distance again, there was nothing but the distance, the farther place was even more lonely, and the pain in the distance buried how much happiness.
