Chapter 21 Swallow Knot
Wulei and Wu Xin looked at each other and did not answer his question.
The dragonfly beside him came over, saw what was in the bamboo's hand, and cried bitterly: "You still miss her for so many years, right? Can't you forget her? You will lose your soul as soon as you see her. I thought you came out before you finished playing the piano because you were obsessed with you. It turned out to be my wishful thinking..."
Zhan Zhu's surprised expression was replaced by apology. He said to the dragonfly, "I smelled the blood you left in the ground and was worried that you had something to do before I was willing to wake up. I am just a friendship between good friends. I'm sorry!"
"Do you know exactly what I want? What I want is not yours. I'm sorry. The dragonfly shook its head and shed tears in disappointment: "Why? Why do you still miss her for so many years? She has married someone else, and she no longer belongs to you. Just give up!"
There was a little helpless pain on Qizhu's face: "Donga, I understand what you said. I am very moved by your waiting and what you have done for me over the years, but I can only say sorry to you! I slept for hundreds of years, but I didn't want to think of her anymore, and I didn't want to live so painfully. But I can't bear to see you hurt, so I woke up, not because of love, but because of our friendship for hundreds of years. Dragonfly, we can only be friends.
Leng Hanyi and his party looked at the bamboo puzzledly. Why was he so affectionate with unintentional accessories? What's the origin of this swallow knot and bamboo? Listening to the conversation between the bamboo and the dragonfly, it seems that the bamboo has a story with the person who made this swallow knot.
"Who gave you this swallow knot? Where is she?" The bamboo asked again.
He turned his head and said, "Where do you care where I came from? I won't tell you!"
"You..." The expectation on Qizhu's face was covered with a faint anger. "If you don't say it, I will trap you here until you say it."
"I suspect you don't have this ability yet." He said a little arrogantly.
Wulei said calmly, "It's okay to tell you, but you have to tell us first, why do you have to know the person who compiles the swallow knot? What do you have to do with her?"
The tearful dragonfly took over the topic and said, "He used to like a swallow. That swallow builds a nest in the bamboo forest of this mountain every spring to accompany him. The best thing about that swallow is to make a swallow knot with ribbon. He also has a similar swallow knot on his body.
"In the world, there are many people who can compile this kind of thing. Even if you have the same swallow knot, so what? The swallow knot on your body with me must not come from the same person. He said unintentionally and impatiently. He turned around and whispered to Wulei, "Are they sick? Can you say such a ridiculous thing?"
The expression without tears also looks a little strange. Instead of answering unintentional words, he asked the bamboo: "Listen to what you mean, the swallows in your mouth don't seem to be here anymore. So where is she now? Could it be that something happened to her?"
The bamboo closed his eyes in pain, and a bean-sized tear slipped from the corner of his eyes. After a long time, he said, "In the autumn of that year, the swallows, as usual, went to the south before winter arrived. But the next spring, she did not return to the bamboo forest as scheduled. Until the summer, she came back. She told me that when she came back, she was tired of flying and rested on a hill. A farmer smoked on the mountain, accidentally threw down the fire, lit the dead grass on the mountain, and caused a fire. She struggled to escape, but was still seriously injured. Fortunately, she was saved by a kind-hearted man. She came back to tell me that she wanted to be a human and repay the savior. I want to keep her, but she has made up her mind. In this way, she left and never came back..."
"You love her so much, haven't you ever looked for her?" Leng Hanyi couldn't help asking.
"I went down the mountain to find her. No one will easily give up their loved one!" The bamboo has lost the murderous arrogance just now, and the affection and sad appearance on his face are seen, and he can't help but have a sympathy. He said, "I quietly hid near her house for a few days and saw her loving and happy with that man. I really can't bear to destroy the happiness she has. I didn't want to make her unhappy, so I had to leave silently. I heard that they later had a lovely son. He held the unintentional swallow knot tightly in his hand.
Wu Xin asked nervously, "How long ago was the story you told? It must have been some years, right?
"It has been more than 300 years." The dragonfly kicked the bamboo and replied.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "It scared me! Let me tell you, there is not only one person in the world who can make swallow knots. I'm twenty-five this year, and my mother is only forty-three. It's not the swallow you mentioned. I'm afraid the person you mentioned has not been in this world for a long time!"
"It can't be wrong, she made it up. I can recognize her things at a glance. Ying Zhu was anxious. He quickly took out a swallow knot from his body, put it in the palm of his hand, and spread it out to Wu Xin and others: "Is it the same?"
Intentionally, I was dumbfounded. Whether it was the weaving technique or the beginning and the end, it was the same. However, he still denied Yingzhu's statement: "Although they are the same, so what? Yours is made by Swallow, and mine is made by people. This is different."
Wulei picked up the two swallow knots and looked at them carefully.
"Didn't she promise me to be a person for a lifetime? What..." Ying Zhu said to herself, "No wonder she hasn't come back for so long. It turns out that she chose to continue to be a human being. How could this happen? Didn't she say that she just went to repay the favor? Why does she have to be a human again? Why is it like this?"
The dragonfly looked at the bamboo affectionately and did not say anything. Because she wrote everything she wanted to say on her face, and everyone could understand it.
Leng Hanyi also heard a general idea: the mother who was unintentional was the swallow spirit who was injured to repay the lifesaver. The bamboo fulfills her wish, but she has failed the bamboo's infatuation.
Without tears said, "What if they are the same person? Are you going to get her back? In those years, she didn't choose you, and now she may not choose you.
Zhu was stunned and didn't think of the idea for a moment.
Now I'm in a hurry: "I don't care if you have anything to do with my mother. I warn you that if you dare to have bad intentions with my mother, I will burn your bamboo forest! Let you have no place to settle down!"
Qing Zhu looked at Wu Xin carefully, and his eyes were full of love. He said, "Since you are a swallow's child, I will no longer embarrass you." Three hundred years ago, I didn't want to make her unhappy. Today, I still can't bear to see her sad. Even if she doesn't remember me anymore.
I couldn't stand his eyes: "Please! Put away your damn eyes. It's disgusting to watch! Please don't say that you are so great. It's because you don't do well enough to keep swallows. You still talk about yourself like a saint. Do you think that you have been practicing longer than us, and we can't beat you? I'll take it from you! If you don't believe it, try it! I'd be happy to accompany you!" Unintentional is like an aggressive tiger at this time.
Qingzhu didn't care about his unintentional attitude. He waved his hand, and all the bamboos that stopped in front of Leng Hanyi and others automatically gave way. He said to Wu Xin, "You go!" He threw back the swallow knot in his hand to Wu Xin.
Intentionally took the swallow knot and hung it firmly on his waist.
Without tears, he said with an upright face, "We don't care about your business. However, dragonflies have killed countless people in Zhuju Mountain over the years. The so-called killing is worth killing. We can't let her go like this.
Zhu tilted his head slightly, glanced at the dragonfly from the corners of his eyes, and said, "She did it for me. When the swallow married someone else, I was frustrated and hid in geography and couldn't wake up. She was afraid that I would not wake up, so she sprinkled the blood of living people in the bamboo forest, so that I could absorb nutrients when I was asleep and not die. If you really want to ask for an explanation for those who died in vain, I'll give you an explanation. With that, he raised his right hand and cut off all the hair on his head.
Before everyone could react, they saw the dragonfly holding the bamboo's hand and burst into tears: "Why are you so stupid? I should bear what I have done. There is no need for you to suffer for me. How can you live without bamboo leaves?
Qizhu's face was a little ugly. He hugged the dragonfly and said, "You have done so much for me over the years, and now I have done something for you. Besides, without bamboo leaves, it may not die. Promise me that from now on, don't kill people again. We will never leave Zhuju Mountain again. Let's end our lives here, okay?
The dragonfly shed tears with relief and nodded and agreed. After looking forward to so many years, at least I waited for a promise from him. Even if this promise has nothing to do with love. At least this is a good phenomenon.
"Are you satisfied with this?" The bamboo looked up and asked without tears.
No tears took a look at Wuxin, and then looked at Leng Hanyi to ask for their opinions.
When Leng Hanyi saw this scene, she was a little moved: "Originally, she killed so many innocent villagers. We shouldn't have let her go, but she deliberately repented, and Zhu also suffered for her. Let's just let them go for the time being!"
"If you harm human beings again in the future, we will come back to receive you." He said unintentionally and righteously. Finally, he said to the bamboo with a strong warning charm, "I don't care whether my mother is the swallow of those years. I hope you don't harass her. She is just a mortal now. Don't scare her. Otherwise, I won't let you go!"
Yi Zhu smiled bitterly in pain.
