Chapter 77: A Taste of Love
"The ancient elven kingdom I am in now is on the surface no different from when I first came here 1,500 years ago, but I know that it has been lost in the wilderness of time. I have tried countless times to get out of the ancient country and find my way home, but in vain. The ancient kingdom has become a forgotten, ethereal lonely cloud, unable to get out, and no one can find it, but I am determined. Before deciding to sit down and write this long letter, I went to the well, the eternal well of energy and magic, and went to see him, and his 'she'. I didn't talk to them. I can only trust my eyes now, I have to look at his face, see his face often, because that is the only proof in this world that has dissipated bubbles.
"Aoi, do you remember the first time you saw me, I was like? But I remember you. Someone brought you to me, and you called me 'aunt' aloud, and that happened to be the second time I had returned from the ancient kingdom of elves, and it was the state of being in a state of soul and longing, and my heart was as anxious as ashes, and I was trapped in a beast, full of claws, scratching endlessly, and on the outside, I had to spend all day doing some water affairs, calming the disputes of the girls, and being safe with my underwater neighbors, and the human beings on the shore. The road is all walking on tiptoe, and the words are all pinched and said, how can there be half a good face.
"I heard someone call me, and I was about to throw my face out, and suddenly I saw a snow-white and pink little dough face, and my eyebrows and eyes were so soft that it was like someone was blowing on my heart, and all of a sudden the tricks were cleared, and the wind was pouring in and out, and it was indescribably transparent and happy. There is a blue mole in the center of your eyebrows, and there is a little heroic and square in the suppleness, which is really lovely. At that time, I was mindful, quiet, idle to talk to you, although you are young, but not humble or arrogant, words are measured, words can always be said on the point, there are occasional generous, dull smiles in your eyes. Couldn't have been better. I made up my mind, I must go, Mizusawa has you, I am very relieved.
"In fact, over the past few years, there have been many rumors about me in this water world, how can I not know. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you in detail, you and I have a close relationship, mother and daughter, sisters, heirs, friends? It's hard to summarize in detail, maybe there are some, and I can't find a suitable occasion to talk to you. At this moment, my heart is like a mirror, not shocked, but a steady reflection of the past for more than a thousand years.
"I can't remember how many years I've lived in this water. I only know that the edge of this water was barren at the beginning, but by now, I am afraid that it has long been an endless and lush forest. I don't have a name, and from the earliest I can remember, everyone has called me 'aunt'. Some of the fairies were noticeably older than me, and they were just as respectful in front of me. At first, I was also afraid, but gradually, I began to be disrespectful, because I found that I was more beautiful, capable, brave, and decisive than everyone else, and only I dared to negotiate with humans to save the captured sisters. I will be the leader, and I will be the one who else I am. In this way, in this small kingdom of Mizusawa (we really don't think it's small), I became an arrogant, empty-eyed darling, and rightly took what I wanted. Xiaokui, it stands to reason that in a world, being the king and hegemon, no matter how small the world is, is always a sense of achievement, but unfortunately, I quickly get tired of it.
"What do I want, full of pits and valleys of clothes, my eyes are staring, no one dares to say more, I look at myself in the mirror, what a beautiful, what a boring face. Everything made me even more tired of it – until one day......
"At night, the water under the moonlight is our greatest paradise. On that day, the moon was so good that the moonlight was so sweet that it seemed to be able to eat it in your mouth. But, that day, I was so annoyed that I was so arrogant that I didn't allow any of my sisters to come to the surface except myself. I paddled boredly over the water, paddled past, sang, cursed, laughed and howled twice, when suddenly I heard a thin, hateful, impatient voice in the grass by the water's edge: 'Stop for a moment!'
I was so frightened that I immediately silenced me, and after waiting for a while, when I saw that there was no movement, I cried and howled even louder, and my heart was angry, and the movement became louder and louder. I could only hear a rustling sound, and a little man walked up from the grass to the edge of the water, his gait unsteady and staggering, but he still tried his best to straighten his little body, standing at the water's edge, and looking at me coldly. His face is like ice, and his eyes are like a sword.
"'Shut me!' sink into the water, and don't come out again all night!' Before I could speak, the little man pointed at me and commanded majestically. I'll go! Who are you, you! I can pinch you to death with two fingers! Dare to talk to 'aunt' me like that! But I have to admit that I was stunned for a moment, because no one had ever dared to do this to me, so I had no experience in dealing with it, so I was stunned for a moment. Just when I froze, the little man thought that I was scared and obeyed, and raised his hand and waved it again: 'Singing so ugly, and daring to come out to sing, is a disservice to this moonlight, and a shame to you water fairies, really this world—I'm going to rest, retreat, don't come out again tonight no matter what.' As he spoke, he waved his hand, as if to drive away a noisy bird, and his face was deeply weary of it—more tired than I was!
"I, I've lived so many years, when have I ever been humiliated like this!, in my rage, I rolled up the waves, swam to the shore, raised my long hair, and swept the hateful little man into the water. It was strange that he flew on the shore, and when he entered the water, he did not struggle, but glared at me with a pair of eyes full of anger, and his mouth was tightly closed.
"I took him to the depths of the Mizusawa Kingdom, to my room. He neither closed his eyes nor opened his mouth the whole time, he didn't know if he was breathing, and he never begged for mercy anyway, just a look of anger and disdain. I realized that he was a villain, yes, but he was a little man with wings, and he only had one wing, and the other wing was nowhere to be found, and there was a shocking wound on his back!
"Now I don't know what to do, let him go, I can't be angry, leave him, how to deal with it? I was in a dilemma, an older fairy who was quite knowledgeable happened to come to me to ask me something, I took her directly to the villain, she looked at it, she was very surprised, and asked me how to bring an elf back to the kingdom of Mizusawa, and it was not an ordinary elf, she pointed to a white ring on the middle finger of the villain's left hand, and whispered in my ear: ' I don't dare to say anything, but that ring looks like it's a spirit ring unique to the King of Elves......
"Well, now I kidnapped the king of the elves. No matter how arrogant I am, I know that after all, I am the king of a race, and I am still hurting. Even if he is sent back to shore now, this beam will be finished. Then I looked at the king of the elves, and said to the old fairy, 'If you don't do anything, kill him, and sink to the bottom of the water, who knows!'
"The old fairy glanced at the king of elves, and suddenly her face relaxed, and she said to me with a smile: 'My aunt has always liked to laugh, and she is really a little childish-' as she spoke, turning her back to the king of elves, facing me, and squeezing her eyebrows, gesturing with her fingers on her middle finger, and turning to the king of elves and snorting: 'Our aunt is kind-hearted, and she sees that you are injured, and wants to bring you back to heal— This environment is still not suitable for you, now we will send you up and ...... for you'
In this way, several fairy sisters hurriedly sent the king of elves up again, and prepared food, drink, clothes and plasters - it turned out that the old fairy saw that the king of elves was turning the spirit ring on his middle finger, and was afraid that he would immediately summon a large number of elves to come, and then the matter would be difficult to clean up, and it would be troublesome.
"But, trouble has already been caused. The king of the elves went up to the shore—and as soon as he spoke, he drove all the other fairies into the water, leaving me alone, and scolding at me—I had no choice but to let him curse. Xiaokui, you don't know, his anger is like a surging river, stretching endlessly, driving his wound to crack open again, he ignores himself, just scolding, scolding, scolding. From the opening of the world to the strife, from the length of life to the stars of the Milky Way, a little person, dragging one side of the wings, the wound is still oozing blood, jumping and scolding - it is really a good spirit. At first, I replied a few words, but later, I didn't say anything, just changed the dressing for his wound, fed him food and drink, yawned, and took care of him wholeheartedly - it was clear that he was sick, and you were thinking about a patient?
"Scolding, there is no day when words are poor, but wounds always have a time to heal. He's finally getting better. He stood before me, with only one wing, and the other empty. Who was hurt and where it was left, I never asked, and he never said. He refused to wear the clothes that the fairies had sewn for him, and insisted on changing back into his old clothes. He's going back.
"This is the moment that my heart is looking forward to, and my ears are purified from now on, and my heart is no longer guilty. He turned around and went back to his elven kingdom, and I returned to my water world with joy, parting and wide, and my heart clear. But, Xiao Kui, seeing that the time for him to leave was approaching, his body was dug into a transparent hole little by little, from this end to the other end, still digging, that kind of uncontrolled flow makes people angry, yes, it's really not reluctant, just angry, angry at his own powerlessness.
"He's more perverse, arrogant, outspoken, commanding than I am, he's so short that he's not much bigger than my palm, he's only one wing, and there's almost no chance of flying, he's a firefly, a completely different race from me, and if we could, we wouldn't have to cross paths for the rest of our lives...... He is so different from me, but so what......
"For the first time in my life, someone nagged in my ear day and night, the first time someone needed me to take care of me, the first time someone slept in front of me and snored softly in the moonlight, and the first time someone scolded loudly and couldn't help crying when I changed his dressing...... For the first time in my life, I have made friends, tasted love for the first time, and no longer be lonely, how can I wave my hand to him, jump into the cold watery world, say goodbye, never see him again?
"Dear Aoi, I've been obsessed with it for so many years, and I don't understand what it's like to love it. I was flustered, furious, and angry, and it turned out that it was all because I didn't want to be separated from him, but I didn't know how to say it. Suddenly, I heard him shout - I laughed. ”
