Chapter 260: Double Rainbow
Bo Ying glanced at Tan Jin: "Hmph, don't look down on others. I grew up here and I am much more familiar with this place than you. Without me, you might get lost and be taken away by the mountain god."
I thought to myself that Boying followed me and Luo Ga didn't react. I turned around and looked up the mountain. I saw Luo Ga standing in front of the gate and looking down at us, without any intention of stopping Boying from following us.
On the contrary, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I seem to see a look of relaxation in Luo Ga’s eyes.
But I didn't bother to think too much. Seeing that the sky was going to dark, if Huang Yayun really fell down the mountain or fell behind in the forest, it would be troublesome. Although the red cat did not hurt people, there were not only red cats in the forest, but also other wild animals. According to Luo Ga, there were even pythons.
Because I met Luo Ga, the position of the guide Boying was replaced. Now I take us down the mountain, and it seems that I am in high spirits.
At this time, the sun had gradually sunset, and another dusk time had arrived.
I was thinking about where Huang Yayun might have fallen, but Bo Ying's screams interrupted my thoughts: "Ah! Look, it's a rainbow!"
"rainbow?"
I was stunned when I heard this, raised my head and looked in the direction Bo Ying pointed.
Sure enough, there were two rainbows hanging in the sky above the forest riverside at the west side of the mountain.
That's right, it's not one, but two rainbows. Beside a conspicuous and gorgeous rainbow, there is actually a relatively dim rainbow that does exist.
It was obviously not raining, but there were still two rainbows.
I was worried about Huang Yayun and was attracted by this wonder for a moment: "What's going on?"
Bo Ying looked very happy when she saw the rainbow: "That is the twin rainbow of our Hani tribe!"
"Shuanghong?" Old Hodge said: "What is that?"
Bo Ying smiled and said, "You don't know this, this is the legend of our Hani tribe."
Then she started talking about it on her own, regardless of the fact that we were about to find someone now.
"It is said that one day a long time ago, a group of beautiful Hani girls were picking tea on the tea mountain. They carried tea baskets and were laughing while picking tea. Their laughter echoed on the tea mountain throughout the day.
It was not until the setting sun and the red sunlight gradually disappeared on the hills, and the girls went home one after another. When the last tea-picking girl packed up her things and wanted to go home, the sound of various insects was already remembered in the forest. She felt very scared and regretted that she shouldn't stay so late. She was afraid that her family would worry about her, so she wanted to speed up her pace and rush home. But when she took the step, she was tripped by the weeds and sprained her feet.
Just when she was extremely scared and anxious, a young man walked out and helped her up carefully. The two of them collided with each other and couldn't help but blush. The young man said to the girl, "I am from the village next to you. Today I have worked in the field next to your tea mountain and forgot time. I saw that your foot was sprained, so why don't I take you home?" The girl looked at her feet, showed a shy smile, and whispered: "Thank you."
When the two of them arrived at the girl's door, the girl said, "Brother, why don't you go into the house and finish your meal before leaving." The young man hurriedly refused, "No, my parents are still waiting for me at home, let's see you some other day." The girl watched the young man leave.
In the days that followed, the girl always met a young man in the fields. The young man would bring all kinds of things to the girl. Sometimes it was a snack that the girl liked to eat, sometimes it was a cold and delicious spring water, and sometimes it was a wild flower picked by herself. Over time, the two fell in love with each other, and the girl especially hoped that the young man could come to the house to propose marriage, but the young man seemed to not understand the girl’s thoughts and had not expressed his feelings for a long time, so the girl had to wait.
Until one day at dawn, the girl suddenly heard the shouts of her parents and the sound of a stick hitting something in her sleep. She hurried to her front yard, and saw a raging fire in the pit used for storage that had been idle in the yard for a long time. When she approached, she found that it was a huge python that was burned by the fire and screamed in pain.
The girl seemed to see the happy time he and the young man were together in the fire. Just as she was confused, a voice suddenly said to her: "My sister, I am your prince. I had concealed my identity before. In fact, I was a python. After meeting you that day, I fell in love with you. I was afraid that you would not want to see me again after you knew my identity, so I never told you that you must take good care of yourself and your parents in the future."
After hearing this, the girl burst into tears. My parents thought the girl was scared to tears. My mother hurriedly said, "Little sister, don't be afraid. This snake actually slept in the granary of our attic. Your father and I have burned it to death." The girl said sadly, "My mother, he is the prince I have always mentioned to you. I just knew about it, but I really like him. I can't bear to let him leave alone, so I want to accompany him. You two elders must take good care of yourself in the future." After that, he jumped into the kang.
After the girl died, the two elders missed the girl very much, so they prayed to the gods every day to see their daughter again. On the one hand, the gods were moved by the love between the girl and the young man, and on the other hand, they sympathized with the two old men's love for their daughters, so they turned the girl and the young man into a rainbow in the sky.
The girl asked her parents to dream: "My dad, my brother and I have turned into rainbows in the sky. If you miss me, go out to see me when the sun is shining in front of the house and raining in the house." From then on, the two old people will often see a beautiful rainbow in the sky, and sometimes two will appear at the same time. People say that it is the young man and the girl come back to visit the two old people together."
Bo Ying finished speaking in one breath and said with a smile: "This is the story of Shuanghong. In our Hani clan, being able to see Shuanghong is a symbol of luck, but it's very strange. It didn't rain today, why are there Shuanghongs?"
Before I could express my thoughts on this story, a figure suddenly emerged from the forest in the corner of my vision.
"Huang Yayun!"
