Chapter 39 The Legend of the Moon

"No, I've slept long enough." Qin Lan replied with sleepy eyes.

"Where will I end up today?" Mu Han asked curiously.

"The escort Li I asked about just now is gone, and he probably won't make it to the next destination, so he will spend the night in the wild." Qin Shuyu said.

"I've never stayed in the wild at night before!" Qin Lan said with interest.

"There will be many times in the wild for such a long time." Qin Shuyu said.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so boring! If the weather is fine, we can enjoy the moon." Mu Han looked forward to it.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes in the wild." Mu Xuefei reminded.

"Can't you think more elegantly?" Mu Han said speechlessly.

"Cousin, I'm really sorry for disturbing your interest." Mu Xuefei joked.

"Where is it, it is an honor to be disturbed by my cousin." Mu Han said with some dog legs.

Qin Shuyu and Qin Lan both smiled when they heard their jokes, but Qin Lan showed it more.

"Everyone, come down, we'll rest here tonight." Escort Li shouted loudly from outside.

"Finally we can get out of the car and go for a walk, let's get out of the car quickly!" Mu Xuefei said excitedly after hearing the voice outside.

After the four of them got out of the car, they saw the setting sun leaving only a ray of afterglow on the earth, which had a kind of hazy beauty. Looking at the place where they rested tonight, there was a small stream not far from the right side of the open land all around.

Seeing that people around were collecting firewood one after another, Qin Shuyu said to Mu Xuefei, "Brother Mu and I are going to collect firewood. You and Lan'er prepare dry food and other things, and we will be back soon."

"I see, you guys go!" Mu Xuefei replied.

"Lan'er, let's go!" Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Shuyu and Mu Hanyuan's backs and turned to Qin Lan beside her.

After Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan returned to the carriage and sorted out the dry food and other things they would need later, they got out of the carriage and found a pleasing place to wait for them to come back.

"We're back." After Mu Han saw it from afar, the two shouted loudly.

"Welcome back, why have you been gone for so long?" Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan asked after hearing the voice and hurriedly got up to meet Mu Xuefei.

The four of them returned to the place where Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan were sitting just now, and when Qin Shuyu and Mu Han put down the firewood, Qin Shuyu explained after the four of them sat down, "There are open fields around here, we walked for a while to find the branches."

"Thank you for your hard work. Take a break and leave it to Lan'er and me later." Mu Xuefei said.

"That's right! Brother, sit down and have a rest with Brother Mu."

Because of Qin Lan, who is an expert in the kitchen, Mu Xuefei just handed over the firewood from time to time, and the fire was quickly lit.

"Shuyu, eat first!" Mu Xuefei said as she handed Qin Shuyu the dry food she had just baked.

"Brother Mu, then you can eat." Qin Lan originally planned to give it to his brother after baking, but found that his brother didn't have to worry about it at all, and his sister-in-law had already prepared it, so she thought about it and handed it to Mu Han.

"Thank you." Qin Shuyu replied gently.

"Thank you, sister Lan'er." Mu Han took it with a big smile on his face and thanked him.

"Brother Mu, you're welcome." Qin Lan was shaken by Mu Han's sudden smile, blushed and lowered her head and whispered.

Qin Shuyu on the side watched the interaction between the two of them and took a bite of dry food with displeasure on his face. Mu Xuefei watched Qin Shuyu's little gesture with a smile and handed the water bag to Qin Shuyu, saying, "Eat slowly, drink some water."

"Xue Fei, thank you." Qin Shuyu took the water bag with some embarrassment.

"You don't need to be so extravagant." Mu Xuefei continued to bake dry food and replied.

"Lan'er, you can eat too!" Mu Xuefei handed the dry food to Qin Lan.

"Thank you sister-in-law." Qin Lan came back to her senses and said shyly.

Mu Xuefei waved her hand, and after cooking her portion, she sat down and slowly started eating while looking at the sparkling water in the distance.

After the four of them ate and drank enough, the last rays of the setting sun faded away, and the sky gradually turned dark, and the bonfires lit all around looked extraordinarily bright.

"I didn't expect it to be so late." Mu Xuefei sighed when she raised her head after dinner and found that the sky was already so dark.

"Yes, I'm going to chat with other people." Mu Han replied a little bored.

"There is still some time before going to bed, so I don't know what to do to pass the time now?" Qin Lan said boredly with her face in her hands.

"Yes!" Mu Xuefei felt that the time was a bit long.

"By the way, Xuefei, you and Lan'er will sleep in the carriage at night, and Brother Mu and I will sleep outside." Qin Shuyu said.

"Will it be cold to sleep outside? Later, you should bring some more clothes." Mu Xuefei was a little worried about Qin Shuyu's body. Although she drank water from the spiritual spring for the past few days, the symptoms were not cured!

"Hey, I didn't expect that even sleeping in the wild would be a problem. I thought it was too good." Qin Lan sighed after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about me." Qin Shuyu said helplessly and happily.

"What are you talking about?" Mu Han came over and asked.

"Cousin, why did you come back so soon?" Mu Xuefei asked curiously.

"Don't mention it, after chatting for a few words, I feel that I have nothing in common with them, and I can't talk about it, and they can't let go when I'm there." Mu Han shrugged and replied helplessly.

"Cousin, I didn't expect that there are topics that you can't talk about." Mu Xuefei joked.

"Cousin, I didn't expect my cousin to be so talkative in your eyes?" Mu Han said.

After hearing this, Mu Xuefei felt that teasing Mu Han really had no sense of accomplishment at all, and she had no intention of chatting anymore, and the four of them were relatively speechless for a while.

"Sister-in-law, I'm bored, why don't we discuss the previous song "Peach Blossom Temple Song", I think I have some new ideas now." Mu Han sat beside Qin Shuyu and said.

"Brother Mu, I think this idea is very good." Qin Shuyu ignored Mu Han's address and agreed.

"I think Tang Yin vividly outlined the life scenes of high officials and rich people with only a dozen words such as "bow before the chariot and horse", "car dust and horse foot", "lulu". His own life scene It is also described in more detail, "Planting peach trees", "Picking peach blossoms for wine money", "When drunk, I only sit in front of the flowers, and when I am drunk, I come to sleep with flowers", "Half drunk and half awake day after day", "I hope I don’t want to bow before the chariots and horses when I die of old age.”, “The hermit’s fate with wine calendula and flower branches.” Which of the two pictures is better is up to the listener to experience and evaluate.” Mu Han eloquently analyzed.

"Brother Mu, what you said is very good. Looking at the whole poem, the layers are clear, the language is simple and close, and the twists and turns are euphemistic. It is almost a folk-sounding soliloquy. However, this kind of soliloquy contains infinite imagination, which makes people feel Continuous aesthetic enjoyment and a strong sense of identity." Qin Shuyu said slowly.

"There are also fine products" Taohua Temple in Taohuawu, peach blossom fairy in Taohua Temple.The Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. "The first four lines are like a long "push" picture, from far to near, suddenly presenting a fairy in the painting in front of readers. In just four lines, six "peach blossoms" are used repeatedly, and the cycle repeats. Heaps, back and forth, thick and colorful, quickly piled up a world of flowers, making people fall into the situation set by them. The unhurried tone and speed of speech also aggravated the intimacy and enthusiasm of the listeners. Curiosity: What kind of fairy life does the Peach Blossom Fairy live?" Mu Han continued to analyze.

"The two of us should not sit here and listen to the two of them talking. I feel flustered." Mu Xuefei said to Qin Lan with a big head.

"I also think, sister-in-law, why don't we go back to the carriage!" Qin Lan couldn't sit still anymore.

"Okay, anyway, there are no moons and stars now." Mu Xuefei agreed.

Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan walked away from Qin Shuyu and Mu Han who were talking, and walked into the carriage. The two chatting happily did not notice Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan's movements at all.

"Oh! It finally feels quiet!" Qin Lan said with a sigh while sitting in the carriage.

"Be careful that your brother punishes you after he hears it." Mu Xuefei teased.

"I know sister-in-law, you are the best, you will definitely not say it, right?" Qin Lan said coquettishly, pulling Mu Xuefei's sleeve.

"Of course, how could I have the heart to punish such a lovely Lan'er!" Mu Xuefei said with a smile.

"Xuefei, Lan'er, the moon has come out, come out and enjoy the moon." Qin Shuyu said outside the carriage.

"Sister-in-law, wake up." Qin Lan gently shook Mu Xuefei.

"Huh? Lan'er?" Mu Xuefei asked suspiciously.

"Sister-in-law, brother asked us to go out to enjoy the moon outside the carriage." Qin Lan explained helplessly, thinking that the two of them sat in the carriage and did not chat for a few words, and sister-in-law dozed off.

"Then let's go down!" Mu Xuefei sat up and straightened her hair and dress.

"I accidentally fell asleep just now, I didn't expect it to be so dark, Shu Yu, what time is it?" Mu Xuefei asked Qin Shuyu with a bright smile.

"It's Xu time now, let's go to admire the moon, Brother Mu is already waiting." Qin Shuyu didn't expose Mu Xuefei, and replied.

"Then let's go!" Mu Xuefei pulled Qin Lan and started walking forward.

Qin Shuyu looked at the figures of the two people in front of him and shook his head, then stepped forward to follow.

"You guys are finally here." Mu Han said looking at the three people in the distance.

"Okay, let's enjoy the moon." Qin Shuyu said.

"Sit down quickly." Mu Han was interrupted by Qin Shuyu's words and did not continue to ask.

Mu Xuefei glanced at Qin Shuyu gratefully, sat down next to Qin Shuyu, and Qin Lan next to Mu Xuefei, and the four of them looked at the sky side by side.

"Scholars still have a taste for elegance!" Li Biaotou not far away looked at the four people who were admiring the moon and said.

"Yes! Come on, let's continue chatting." The person sitting next to Escort Li glanced at Li Escort's words and continued to chat.

"The moon is so round tonight!" Qin Lan exclaimed looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

"Today is exactly sixteen, and everyone says that the moon on the fifteenth is sixteen round." Mu Xuefei looked at the shining stars all over the sky, and the bright moon in the sky could not cover up their light. She never thought that there would be the same bright moon and stars in different time and space.

"Is there still such a saying?" Mu Han was confused.

"I overheard it before." Mu Xuefei replied flatly, it seems that there is really an urgent need to supplement the history of this time and space.

"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow upwards." Mu Han said with emotion.

"I wonder if Chang Xi really bathed and dressed up my daughter?" Qin Shuyu asked suddenly.

"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to believe this." Mu Han said.

"I would rather believe that that absurd world existed." Qin Shuyu replied.

"Brother, Brother Mu, what are you talking about?" Qin Lan asked curiously.

"The story of our moon." Mu Han replied.

"What story?" Mu Xuefei asked.

"There is a woman who bathes in the moon. Emperor Jun's wife, Chang Xi, has a birth month out of ten, so she begins to bathe." Qin Shuyu replied.

Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan looked at Qin Shuyu with question marks on their heads, and Mu Han laughed when he saw this, "Let me tell the story!"

"It is said that Chang Xi gave birth to twelve girls at a time after twelve months of pregnancy.

They all look exactly alike, and each has a plump, round, clean and bright face.Every night, these shy faces will emit an extraordinarily bright and clear silver light.Light up the dark earth like day.

Once, 12 of their sisters secretly came to the world to play games. At that time, they were fascinated by the beauty of the world. The fresh flowers, the birds whispering in the forest, never saw such a beautiful and charming picture scroll in the sky.

This made them amazed, and thus developed a strong interest in the earth and wilderness where human beings live. When they were having fun, their half-brother, the flaming sun, finished his day's work and set on the western mountain. Feeling darkness enveloped the earth.

At this time, they discovered in astonishment how terrifying the land at night was. The beautiful scrolls disappeared, and the pitch-black night enveloped the land, and people had to live in darkness.

So, the sisters sat down to discuss.In the end, they all thought of their plump and smooth face that could emit brilliance.

They unanimously decided that, like their elder brothers, they would climb up to the sky in turn, take over the work of the sun at night, and also sprinkle the light on people, driving away the darkness brought to the earth by night, so that people would not be confused and afraid at night. .

Their joint decision was warmly approved by their mother Chang Xi.The daughter is so pure in heart, so noble in character, willing to work tirelessly and selflessly dedicate her brilliance to the earth. Of course, the mother is very supportive of them.

She arranged for twelve girls to take turns ascending to the sky at night.Each person takes turns for one month, and 12 people take turns, which is exactly one year.

When night falls, they rise slowly in the night, then face the earth and walk slowly westward.In this way, they are tireless, troublesome, and never neglected. Day after day, year after year, they have been working selflessly for mankind.

They have never been naughty like their brothers, but have been working hard on duty, bringing light to the night of the earth.

From then on, the night sky became bright and clear due to the appearance of the moon girl, and the people on the earth were ecstatic and cheered.

The darkness was also forced to restrain its terrifying wings, and the night sky became extraordinarily beautiful and bright.

Naughty children can play and play to their heart's content, people who have worked hard for a day can rest peacefully, and old men who have gone through vicissitudes and years can talk about the world and talk about the past and the present.Under the moonlight, the poet's inspiration emerged, his passion surged, and he recited poems and composed Fu loudly, leaving behind masterpieces through the ages.

From then on, Chang Xi, like Xi He, lived with his daughter. After bathing and dressing up her daughter every day, he personally took a daughter with him in a moon car pulled by Jiufeng to patrol the night sky and work for mankind.It's just that it's not the same as Xi He's. The work she arranged for her daughters is that one daughter will be responsible for the other eleven daughters each month.

Because her daughter is shy, she appears in the sky with different outfits every night, and because she is a woman, Chang Xi's daughter has a few days of inconvenience every month, and there are always a few days when she cannot go to the sky.As for the other daughters, because they have a clear division of labor, it is not easy to replace each other on duty at night, so there are days when the moon is full and waning in the night sky, and there are also days when there is no moon on duty. "Mu Han said the legend slowly.
