Chapter 1 The Vega 1
"More exciting and good books are available on Danmei Novel Network
An Xiu has liked listening to adults tell stories since she was a child.
However, she has never been a well-behaved listener.
For example, when she was ten years old, Mother Ann told her western fairy tales, such as "Cinderella", "Snow White", "Sleeping Beauty", "The Frog Prince" and so on.
While listening to the story, An Xiu interrupted her mother's narration countless times, expressing her own opinions in puzzlement.
"Mom, mom, does this prince have something wrong with his eyes? He wants to find Cinderella by trying on a glass slipper? Does he not recognize people after changing his clothes?"
"Mom, why is the poison on this comb so strange? She fainted when she put it in Snow White's hair, and woke up when she took it off?"
"Mom, Mom, Sleeping Beauty has been sleeping for a hundred years, won't she starve to death if she doesn't eat or drink? Will she not die if she doesn't brush her teeth or take a bath?"
"Mom, mom, the little princess threw the frog against the wall, and she wanted to kill it! Why didn't the frog hate the little princess at all after turning back into a prince, but still loved her so much?"
Mother An was left speechless by the question, and scolded her in a hurry: "Listen to the story carefully, why are there so many questions!"
An Xiu pouted unhappily: "Mom is so fierce."
Grandpa An felt distressed, hugged little An Xiu and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, your mother won't tell you stories, grandpa will tell you."
"What's so good about those Western fairy tales? They're all the same. The queen and stepmother are vicious and bad women, and the princesses are all beautiful, kind and pitiful. The ending is 'the prince and the princess got married and lived happily ever after.', so boring!"
"If you want to tell a good story, it must belong to the traditional myths of our country of China! Our country of China has a long history of more than five thousand years, and there are countless myths and legends. Those are precious treasures handed down!"
An Xiu's eyes lit up immediately: "Grandpa, grandpa, I want to hear what I want to hear! I like grandpa the most!"
Grandpa An's white beard curled up happily: "Okay, okay, little Xiu'er, grandpa will tell you a fairy tale! Let me first tell you a story that has been passed down for the longest time and is most popular among everyone - "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl"!"
However, Grandpa An soon became unhappy.
Not long after the story of "Cowhand Weaver Girl" started, An Xiu asked in shock: "What? Grandpa, Cowhand actually watched the fairies taking a bath? He also stole Zhinu's clothes and asked Zhinu to marry him?"
"What? Weaver Girl really agreed to marry Cowhand in order to get back the clothes? Isn't she a fairy? Shouldn't fairies have magical powers? Why doesn't she use magical powers to get back the clothes?"
"Cowhand forced Weaver Girl to marry him in such a disgusting way, why doesn't Weaver Girl hate him at all?"
"Weaver Girl has been away from the sky for so long and has given birth to two children. Why did the Lady Queen Mother find out that she is missing? She is not the granddaughter of the Lady Queen Mother. Does the Lady Queen Mother like her the most?"
Grandpa An: "...Xiao Xiuer, don't pay attention to these details."
He shouted wildly in his heart: How would I know!I lived to be more than 60 years old, and I never knew that so many questions could be asked in "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl"!I really don't know what is in my granddaughter's little head, why are there so many little question marks!
"Okay, okay, Xiaoxiuer doesn't like "Cowhand Weaver Girl", doesn't it? It's okay, grandpa will tell you another story." Grandpa An thought for a while and said, "I will tell you a story about the white lady—"White Snake"pass"."
An Xiu's eyes were shining, and she looked at Grandpa An expectantly.
Grandpa An stroked his gray beard and talked about "Legend of the White Snake" in a rhythmic tone."The Legend of the White Snake" can be regarded as one of the most popular fairy tales in the past few decades. Various adaptations of TV dramas, movies, Yue opera, Peking opera, drama, etc., have a wide audience and are well received by everyone.
Telling the story of "Legend of the White Snake", there will be no problem, right?Grandpa An thought so.
However, he was wrong.
An Xiu still expressed a lot of weird opinions: "Grandpa, Lady Bai is about to become a fairy, why do you have to marry Xu Xian? She has practiced for nothing for a thousand years? If it were me, I wouldn't be so stupid."
"Grandfather, Xu Xian is weak and incompetent, and he doesn't even have the most basic trust even after a few words from others to suspect that the white lady is a demon."
"Xu Xian is too useless, right? When she saw the original form of the white lady, she was scared to death? Was she scared to death like that? It was so troublesome that the white lady went to steal the fairy grass to save him, and she almost died. Huh, baiYour Majesty is still pregnant with a baby."
"Grandpa, I don't like Xu Xian at all..."
Grandpa An: "..." I was wrong, I shouldn't have told Xiao Xiu'er about "Legend of the White Snake"!
"Xiao Xiu'er doesn't like "The Legend of the White Snake", does she?" Grandpa An smiled resolutely, and continued, "It's okay, grandpa has other stories here. How about this, grandpa will tell you "Journey to the West", okay?Let’s talk about one of them, ‘Sun Wukong borrowed a plantain fan on his way to the Flame Mountain’, how about it?”
"Journey to the West" is one of the four great masterpieces of Huaguo. There must be... no mistakes in talking about this, right?Grandpa An thought so.
An Xiu's eyes were shining, and he looked at Grandpa An expectantly: "Okay, okay."
Grandpa An stroked his gray beard again, and talked nervously about the plot of "Sun Wukong borrowed a plantain fan on his way to the Flame Mountain".
Huh, fortunately, it was more than halfway through the talk, Xiao Xiuer still listened obediently and seriously, fascinated by it.Sure enough, the myth is still the most classic and the best!
However, soon, Grandpa An realized that he was wrong again.
When he talked about the jade-faced fox, An Xiu asked again.
"Grandpa, the jade-faced fox is the daughter of the Long Live Fox King. Why is her mana so low? Doesn't the Fox King know how to teach her well?"
"Who is not good for the jade-faced fox to find? Why did he find the Bull Demon King who is married to Princess Iron Fan and gave birth to a red child? He wants to marry him even though he has millions of fortunes?"
"No way? The jade-faced fox doesn't seem to have done anything bad, does Zhu Bajie kill her with a nail? Isn't she too miserable?"
Grandpa An: "..." I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have told Xiao Xiu'er a story.
An Xiu was still asking questions endlessly, and Grandpa An finally got dizzy from being asked, and couldn't help but use Mama An's words to tease her: "Listen to the story carefully, why are there so many questions!"
An Xiu pouted unhappily: "Grandpa, you are also very fierce. You adults are like this. If you can't answer the questions, you scold us children."
An's mother stretched out her finger and poked An Xiu's forehead lightly: "You child, is it reasonable? Mom told you classic western fairy tales, and grandpa told you traditional Chinese fairy tales.They are widely circulated and loved by people all over the country. Why don’t everyone think these stories are problematic, but you think there is a problem?”
An Xiu asked strangely: "No way? Don't everyone think there is something wrong with these stories? There are obviously big problems!" She just didn't believe it!
Mother An's tone of perfunctory perfunctory: "No problem, obviously there is no problem, it's your child who is thinking about it all day long! Anyway, let me tell you, if you still want to listen to me and grandpa telling stories in the future, just tell meBe quiet and don't make any noise, otherwise you can read the book by yourself, and look it up in the dictionary if you don't know the word!"
An Xiu said stubbornly: "Look at it for yourself, I'm ten years old, and I already know a lot of words!"
So, after this day, the ten-year-old An Xiu began to read books by herself with a dictionary in her hands, and with many questions in her mind, she read "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Journey to the West", "Fengshen Bang" and other original works that Grandpa An had said.Mythological novels have been found and read again and again.
Then, be shocked!
The original book is much more detailed than the abbreviated version of the fairy tale told by Grandpa An, with many backgrounds and details not omitted. As An Xiu grew up, she saw many new things from it.
Especially after she turned 20 and witnessed the painful, tear-jerking, heart-wrenching separation and reunion of many friends and their boyfriends, she was deeply moved.
The so-called love, what is this thing?It really hurts!
The ancients said, "Ask what love is in the world, and teach people to agree with each other in life and death."Love is so great, it is more important than life, for love, you can throw away... a fart!
Hehe, if you really can give up everything for love, do you think you are stupid?A great foreign novelist said it well, "The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to everyone only once." But what about love?According to statistics, a person can experience many loves in his life, some are deep and some are shallow, some are long and some are short.
Isn't it stupid to abandon only one life in order to have several loves in a lifetime?Is it water in the brain or water in it or water in it?
Women in real life—whether ancient or modern—have suffered from lovestruck, and women in fairy tales are no exception.
For example, the Weaver Girl in "Cowhand Weaver Girl".After going down to earth to take a bath, she gained a husband who stole her clothes and forced her to marry her, and gave birth to two children.After being finally brought back to heaven by the Lady Queen Mother, she was blocked by the Milky Way and separated from the children, only seeing each other once a year!
For example, Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of the White Snake".A rain, an umbrella, ruined her thousand years of Taoism, shattered her dream of becoming a fairy, and was crushed by Leifeng Pagoda for hundreds of years!
For example, the seven fairies in "Pairing of Immortals".An Xiu didn't understand, why are all the fairies in the sky out of their minds?Tired of the leisurely and affluent days in the sky, tired of eating fine nectar, peaches and fairy fruits, stars and moon, and noble princesses, and insisted on going down to earth to marry a servant and live a life of being errands.Hard days?This taste is really unique.
For example, the jade-faced fox in "Journey to the West".In order to recruit the Bull Demon King, not only did she sell the millions of furniture left to her by the Fox King's father, but she also gave away her own life in the end!If her old father knew that his daughter was so useless, he would probably have to live in anger underground!
Etc., etc.
An Xiu felt that these lovestruck heroines in Huaguo mythology were too miserable.But, alas, mourning its misfortune, angering its indisputable.
If it was her, it wouldn't be like this, or that.
She, will pour out the water in the minds of these lovestruck heroines!
