Chapter 2 fourth day of narcissus

Xue Po went on a long trip. Sherpa, with cat ears and long gray shaggy hair, traveled far, far away over the harsh cirrus clouds of the Western Mountains. At the foot of the elephant-head-shaped snow hill, there is a child wrapped in a red blanket, thinking about marshmallows, and rushing home. (Look, as long as you roll the newspaper into the shape of a pointed tube and blow it, the charcoal will light up a green will-o’-the-wisp. Grab a handful of brown sugar and put it in the marshmallow pot, then grab a handful of jaggery and put it in, add water, and then slowly chug chug to boil.) The child's mind is full of marshmallows, and he keeps speeding up, wanting to go home early.

In the clear and cold sky far, far away, the father-in-law of the sun continuously burned bright white flames. The flames shot straight in all directions and down below, turning the snow on the silent mesas into a glorious alabaster board. On the snow hill shaped like an elephant's head, there are two snow wolves, panting with their blood-red tongues out from time to time while walking.People can't see their appearance, but when the wind blows, they will ride the gray and black snow clouds from the snow at the corner of the platform, and run around in the sky. 'call out!Don't go so fast! Behind the snow wolf, a snow boy who wore a triangular white bear fur hat back and his cheeks were as bright as apples walked slowly.

The snow wolves shook their heads, turned around, and ran forward again with their blood-red tongues stretched out. 'cassiopeia stars daffodils are about to bloom hurry to creak creak turn your glass waterwheel' Yukidou looked up at the blue sky and shouted at the invisible stars.Waves of blue light descended happily from the blue sky.The snow wolves had already run far ahead, panting continuously with their flame-like red tongues stretched out. 'call out!Come back soon!call out! 'Xue Tongzi jumped and scolded loudly, the shadow of Xue Tongzi, which was firmly attached to the ground, immediately turned into a shining white light.The snow wolves raised their ears and rushed back.

'andromeda star Thistles are about to bloom Hurry up and go hoo hoo Spit the alcohol in your lamp' The snow boy climbs the snow hill shaped like an elephant's head like the wind.The snow on the ground was blown into shells by the wind, and on the top of the hill there was a big chestnut tree with mistletoe on the trunk, full of beautiful golden balls. 'Take it off! 'Snow boy said as he went up the mountain.A snow wolf saw its owner's tiny teeth flashing, and immediately jumped towards the tree trunk like a ball, clucking and biting the twig bearing the red fruit.The shadow of the snow wolf shaking its head frequently on the tree fell big and long on the snow. The branches were finally bitten off the green bark and yellow heart, and fell at the feet of the snow boy who had just climbed up the hill.

'thanks. 'Snow Boy picked up the branches and looked at the beautiful town in the distance between the white and blue fields.The river shone brightly, and white smoke billowed from the parking lot.Snow boy's gaze fell to the foot of Xueqiu Mountain.On the narrow snowy road at the foot of the mountain, the child wrapped in a red blanket just now was rushing back to his home in the mountain with all his heart. 'The boy pulled a sleigh full of charcoal into town yesterday.Definitely bought sugar in town and came back alone today. ' Xue Tongzi laughed, throwing the mistletoe branch in his hand to the child.The branch flew in a straight line like a bullet, and fell right in front of the child's eyes.

Startled, the child picked up the branch and looked around blankly.Xuetongzi smiled, swished the whip in his hand with a shove. On the cloudless, crystal-clear blue sky, snowflakes like the feathers of egrets suddenly fell on the whole face.It made even more beautiful this quiet and bright Sunday of plain snow, beer-colored sunlight, and tawny cypress. The child took the branch and began to hurry on the road again. However, when the snowflakes stopped falling, Father Sun seemed to shift his position to a further resting place, rekindling his dazzling white flame. Then, the wind picked up slightly from the northwest.

The sky was probably pretty cold, too.On the far east end near the sea, as if a switch in the sky had been turned on, there was a faint click, and many small things kept crossing the eyes of Father Sun who had turned into a white mirror at some point. Xue Tongzi clamped the whip under his armpit, hugged his arms tightly, closed his lips, and stared at the direction of the wind without blinking.The snow wolves also straightened their necks, looking in the same direction. The wind gradually strengthened, and the snow under the feet flowed back rustlingly. After a while, something like white smoke rose from the top of the opposite mountain. In the blink of an eye, the west had turned gray and began to dim.

A sharp fire light flickered in Xuetongzi's eyes.The sky has become completely white, and the wind seems to tear everything apart, and dry and fine snow is falling down.Looking around, there are misty snowflakes, and it is hard to tell whether it is snow or clouds. Creaking and creaking sounds were heard from all the ridges of the snow hill at the same time.The horizon and the small town are hidden beyond the dim smog.Only the white figure of Snow Boy stands vaguely in the snow. A strange roar came from the howling wind: 'call out!What are you guys doing?Let it snow!Come on!Whoosh!Whoosh!Come on!Come on!What are you guys doing?I'm so busy, I'm still lazy!call out!call out!I also specially brought three helpers from there, hurry up!It's snowing!call out! '

Xuetongzi jumped up as if struck by lightning.It was Xue Po who came back. Snapped!Snow boy's whip sounded.The snow wolves jumped up immediately.Xuetongzi's face turned blue, his lips were tightly pressed, his hat had been blown somewhere. 'call out!call out!Hurry up and get to work!You are not allowed to be lazy!call out!call out!Get to work!Today is the fourth day of Narcissus month in this part of the world!Work quickly!call out! ' Xue Po's cold, disheveled white hair curled into swirls in the wind and snow.From the dark clouds whizzing away from the eyes, Xue Po's pointed ears and sparkling golden eyes can also be seen.

The three snow boys that Xue Po brought from the western wilderness were all pale, biting their lower lip tightly, and did not say hello to each other, just waving the whip in their hands and running around in a hurry.Now it is hard to tell which is the snow hill, which is the sky, and which is the smoke and snow.All I could hear was Xue Po's galloping and neighing, the whips of the snow boys, and the panting of the nine snow wolves running wildly on the snow.Amidst the chaotic sounds, Xue Tongzi faintly heard the cry of the child just now who was submerged by the strong wind. Snow Boy's eyes flashed with fire.He stood and thought for a while, and then suddenly ran towards the child, waving his whip violently.

However, Snow Boy went in the wrong direction and bumped into the black pine mountain in the south.Xue Tongzi put the whip under his arm again and listened quietly. 'call out!call out!Don't be lazy!Let it snow!snow!quick!call out!Today is the fourth day of the month of Narcissus!call out!call out!call out!Whoosh! ' In the blizzard, Xue Tongzi vaguely heard the child's clear cry.Xuetongzi ran towards the child in a straight line.On the way, Xue Po's disheveled long hair brushed against Xue Tongzi's cheek in shocking way.In the snowdrifts on the mountain, a child wrapped in a red blanket was blown down by the surrounding wind, his feet were sunk in the snowdrift, his hands were holding the snow surface, crying and trying to get up. 'Put the blanket over your head and lie face down without moving.Drape a blanket over your head and lie face down without moving.call out! 'Snowboy called while running.But to the child, Yukidou's call was just the sound of the wind, and the child could not see Yukidou's figure. 'Lie face down and don't move.call out!do not move.After a while the blizzard will stop.Lie down with a blanket draped over your head. 'Xue Boy ran back and shouted loudly.The child was still struggling to get up. 'lie down.call out!Lie face down with your mouth closed.It's not too cold today, it won't freeze. ' Xuetongzi ran past the child again, calling loudly.But the child was still crying and struggling to get up with his mouth curled up. 'Lie down!Why are you disobedient! 'Xue Tongzi deliberately threw himself at the child from the front and knocked him down. 'call out!Blow harder!Don't be lazy!quick!call out! ' Xue Po came to Xue Tongzi.In the blizzard, Xue Po's big mouth and sharp teeth can be seen faintly. 'what?Why have a child?Yes, catch him here.On the fourth day of Narcissus Moon, it doesn't matter if you catch one or two people. ' 'yes.Well, die fast! 'Xue Tongzi knocked down the child with force on purpose again, then whispered to the child: 'Lie down.do not move.If I tell you not to move, don't move. ' The snow wolves also galloped frantically around, their black limbs clearly visible in the snow clouds. 'Yes yes, well done.everyone!Work hard!Don't be lazy!Whoosh!Whoosh! Xue Po yelled and flew away. The child wanted to get up again.Xuetongzi smiled and knocked him down again.At this time, the surrounding area was already dim and dark. In fact, before three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky and the earth seemed to be at sunset.The child is exhausted and no longer struggles to get up.Xuetong giggled, stretched out his hands, and put the red blanket on the child's back. 'Go to sleep.I cover you with a lot of quilts.That way it won't freeze.Until tomorrow morning, have a good dream of marshmallows. ' The snow boy spreads layers of snow on the children.Soon, the red blanket was no longer visible on the snow, and the snow on the child was as high as the surrounding area. ’ The boy is still holding the mistletoe branch I gave him. 'Xue Tongzi muttered to himself, showing a crying expression. 'quick!You can't stop working until two o'clock in the middle of the night today!This area is the fourth day of Narcissus month, so don't be lazy!quick!Down again!call out!Whoosh!Whoosh! ' Xue Po urged loudly in the distant wind. In this way, the strong wind and blizzard, in the mixed layers of dark clouds, keep falling, keep falling, until sunset, until night.After finally waiting for the dawn, Xue Po flew from the south to the north in a straight line again, calling loudly: 'Okay, it's time to rest.I'm going to the other side of the sea now, you don't have to follow.Take a good rest to reserve energy for next time.This time the results are not bad.The fourth day of Narcissus was finally a complete success. ' In the dark night, Xue Po's eyes shone with a blue demonic aura, her curly long hair was disheveled, her lips trembled, and she flew to the east. The field and the hills seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the snow was shining with a pale light.Not only did the sky clear up, but the orange-flower-colored sky was full of twinkling stars. The snow boys led their own snow wolves and greeted each other for the first time. 'This time it was really hard. ' 'Ok. ' 'When can we meet again next time? ' 'I don't know when it is.But within this year, there will probably be two more downloads. ' 'I really want to go back to the north one day earlier. ' 'That is to say. ' 'Did a child die just now? ' 'fine.just sleeping.I'll mark that spot tomorrow. ' 'Let's go!We have to go back before dawn. ' 'OK.But there is one thing I always can't figure out, isn't that the three stars in Cassiopeia?Are they all blue flames?But why when the fire burns more fiercely, it will call for wind and snow instead? ' 'The reason is the same as electric marshmallows.Think about it, isn't the electric marshmallow spinning all the time?Coarse sugar will turn into fluffy marshmallows, right?So the fire should burn a little bit. ' 'Oh. ' 'Then, goodbye. ' 'goodbye. ' The three snow boys, leading the nine snow wolves, headed west for home. In a short while, the eastern sky glowed like a yellow rose, then flashed with an amber fire, and finally burned a golden torch.The hills and fields were covered with a shiny new snow. The snow wolves were so tired that they sat on the snow.Snow Boy also sat down.His cheeks were like two apples, and his breath was full of the fragrance of lilies. The dazzling father-in-law climbed up.Today's father-in-law of the sun implies a blue light, which makes him even more majestic and brilliant.The peach-colored sun lingered on the snow-covered ground.The snow wolves stood up and opened their mouths wide, blowing out flickering blue flames. 'Come with me.It's daylight, and we have to wake the kid up. ' The snow boy ran to the place where the child was buried in the snow yesterday. 'Help me kick the snow away. ' The snow wolves immediately kicked the snowdrift with their hind legs.The wind blows the snow and smoke away into the distance. In the distance, there are several figures wearing snow galoshes (translation: round clogs made of branches and straw ropes, which can prevent slipping) and wearing leather clothes, hurrying from the direction of the village. 'You can wake up! Seeing that one end of the red blanket was exposed on the snow, Xue Tongzi shouted: "Your father is here! Wake up quickly!" Xuetongzi led a snow smoke behind him, and ran to the top of the hill, calling loudly. The child seemed to squirm.People in leather jackets also ran over desperately. postscript: Many Miyazawa researchers couldn't guess how many months Narcissus Moon is.Some said it was January 15th, others said it was April.The beginning of spring on the Japanese calendar is February 4th, and Narcissus may be at the end of January.Before spring comes, the Kanto area sometimes has a sudden heavy snowfall in March, and the northern country is even more indescribable.I myself like this fairy tale very much. The whole story is full of snow scenes, moving and still pictures, which is very beautiful.
