Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 13

The prince of the Cheng Dynasty often came to Yucheng, where there are dense forests and many wild animals, to hunt in mid-autumn. The best hunting animals were selected and presented to the emperor, and the rest were rewarded to local officials for sharing.

The prince and his concubine ride together in a five-color BMW, with personal guards and attendants on the left and right.

The girl was so delicate, she had only ridden for a while, and was so tired that she wanted to come down to rest. The prince followed her, and finally couldn't bear to leave her to be taken care of, and went hunting with his guards.

A lot of deer were hunted, but the rest were not seen.

The prince and the guards got off their horses and walked with their bows. They saw a tall mountain farmer walking by the side of the road with a rabbit in his arms. The prince hurriedly asked him why the rabbit came from him. The bow I made by myself was exchanged with an old hunter.

He also specially pointed the prince in the direction of the old Orion's house.The prince is also a person who is keen on weapons such as bows and swords, so he wanted to chat with him for a few words. He only knows the way but not the talent, and the skills passed down from his family are not considered the official way, and there is no patriarchal law for bows and arrows.

Seeing that today, the prince did not hunt much, he wanted to buy his rabbit.

How could he agree, because he felt sorry for the injured rabbit, so he exchanged bow and arrow with the old Orion for the rabbit.He is a first-class bow and arrow craftsman, and Orion is naturally willing.

He said, that's not right, the little thing is very restless and dare not disturb the adults.

The prince thought it didn't matter, but the attendant was so eccentric that he bluntly said that he was disrespectful, and he didn't want to give up an animal to the prince.

Hearing that the person in front of him was actually the prince, he had no choice but to bow respectfully, but he resolutely refused to give up the rabbit.The prince bluntly said that he would not take people's favor, so he let him go, but he couldn't bear to lose face, so he told him that if the rabbit was released faster than his arrow, it would be its destiny, otherwise, if he could hunt it Rabbit, the craftsman took the reward and went home.

The ending is self-evident. He walked sadly on the mountain road, resenting these people in his heart, but he was helpless. He was just a craftsman with a humble status.

When he returned to his home at the foot of the mountain, he saw that his mother was entertaining a woman eating cakes and bait. The woman's face was full of spring. Although she was wearing men's clothes, she could be seen as a woman.

He asked his mother and daughter who they were, and his mother said that they lost their way here to play, and they are outsiders.

When the woman saw him coming, she felt clear-eyed, tall and strong, with the appearance of a full-fledged warrior.They fell in love with each other at first sight, it was getting late, he led her back to the city, but met the prince's guard of honor.

The prince also saw her pretending to be a man, and he sighed in his heart how could there be such a beautiful and refined woman in the world, and she was more attractive than the delicate and charming concubines around him, so he wanted to call her back to the palace.

He already hated the prince's act of seizing someone's love, but now that the prince violated the woman's original intention and acted mischievously, he no longer cared about the prince's face, and made it clear to him that the woman was his distant cousin, she was innocent, and she had to be married by an official matchmaker. , as the main room.

The prince was furious and ordered someone to take him down.

But the woman smoked a burst of mist, and disappeared with the craftsman immediately.

The guards shouted to hell, the prince was also frightened stupid, and the guards hurriedly got up to drive.

She took him to the edge of a high cliff to watch the moon. He couldn't believe that he had arrived here in an instant, and he felt a little scared in his heart.

She said, don't be afraid, I am a little fairy in the sky, coming to this world to play for a few days.

She asked him what was the funniest thing in this world, and if he knew it, she regretted that he was born well, but he was an elm who didn't understand his style.

They sat on the stone and looked at the moon, and she told him a story: Once upon a time, there was a fairy who was very lonely and liked to lie on the moon and look at the world. If someone could always look at the moon, she would be very moved and went to the world to find the moon. he.

So are you the fairy on the moon?
She smiled and saw that he seemed to know humor. Are you the one who always looks at the moon?

He nodded seriously, she was a little embarrassed, the so-called story just now was just made up by her.

My father was a well-known craftsman when he was alive. He was assassinated because of the jealousy of his teacher. My mother asked someone to avenge me. In order to avoid being captured by the government, she took me to this place and bought a house outside the city.

It is said in the world that a good person will ascend to the ninth heaven after death and become a star beside the moon, so since then, I often look at the moon and wonder if my father will also look at me.I was young when he died, and I was not proficient in the skills he passed on to me. Fortunately, my mother taught me.

But my mother's health has been deteriorating recently, she often talked about me looking for a wife, and asked my matchmaker to marry me, but no one wanted to marry me, because they thought I was in the mountains and my family was poor.

Is being married fun?
Marriage should not be taken lightly. In order to marry my mother, my father used his whole life of bows and arrows in exchange for ten miles of red makeup. He also used Lianxin's fingertips to make this bow as a token.After speaking, he took off the bow from behind and showed it to her.

On the delicately crafted bow, there are wood grains and traces of vermilion embellishments, simple and elegant, very solemn.

The galaxy is not made of mortal souls. After death, mortals will only wait for reincarnation in the underworld, reincarnation, or disappear.

I see.He smiled wryly, I have been deceiving myself.

In fact, I once admired a girl in the city. She would come here to go boating outside the city when the apricot blossoms first bloomed, every year, but I never spoke to her.

Why, do you care about your identity?

In fact, I don't think in my bones that there is nothing wrong with being in the mountains, but... my body was a little strained due to the escape life when I was young. My mother knew very little about this, and I was an unfilial son.

Is it incurable?
I have been to many clinics, but no one can cure it.My mother is a strong person. If I go early in the future, she will be able to bear it, so I will leave more money.

Seeing that he was still young but sick, she was very distressed, but she did not dare to use fairy magic to heal him rashly, because of her extraordinary power, and if she used magic power on him, it might bring him endless doom.

If you can use the best sweet-scented osmanthus in this mountain to make cake bait for me every September, I will return on time.Remembering her words, he was looking for the best laurel tree in the mountains, and he was also making a bow with blood from his fingertips, waiting for her to give it to her when she returned.

She returned to the Moon Palace and sat under the osmanthus tree, her heart was sore but warm.

She looked through the family tree of Yue Enzi several times, but there was no man named He Yin, and Yue Enzi told him that this person had no marriage relationship.

If it is not included in the marriage tree, it means that the person died young, or that no one was loved in his life.

Yue Enzi asked Yue Nu why she cared about this mortal man, she didn't answer, but he guessed a thing or two.

He warned her that so many stories in the sky are the result of bad fate, you have to think deeply.

She tore off the bell on Yue Enzi's waist and made fun of him. She still kept the birthday present she gave you when you were young.

He hurriedly explained that he was used to it, so he never took it off.

If you go to the world again and change your name, you might be able to have a marriage with him.

Well, it just so happens that I haven't told him the name yet, so you can change it for me.

Changle, eternal bliss, okay?

She recited this name happily, thinking about when she would re-enter the world.

But she didn't know that Yue Enzi used the fairy method to create a marriage button for her, and forcibly tied the so-called marriage between the so-called mortal girl Chang Le and the bow and arrow craftsman He Yin. Because, keep getting old.

He touched the bell and whispered softly, "Yue'er, you will live forever in bliss."
