Song Xiaowu bedtime story 29 see the day

I am a piece of jade, and I have come into the world since the day the heavens and the earth were divided, but for thousands of years I have been sleeping in that warm cradle—an ordinary stone, and every day thousands of people walk in front of me, but no one has ever looked at me.

Until one day, a jade worker named Bian He passed in front of me. He suddenly stopped the car and walked up to me. He looked up and down at my cradle, gently bumped it with a small stone, and a smile line appeared on his dark face, breaking the gloom on that side: "This is the most beautiful jade in the world, I want to dedicate it to the King of Chu so that everyone in the world can see it." He took off his coat, lifted me up completely, carefully placed me on the cart, and then slowly drove the carriage steadily towards Chudu.

After walking for a few days and nights, we finally arrived at the front of the Chu Palace, and the news of Bian he getting the beautiful jade had spread throughout Chu Jing, and the palace gate was full of people watching the scene. When Bian He unbuttoned my clothes, the crowd booed, "Isn't this an ordinary stone?" Although the little eunuch of the palace also smacked his lips, out of respect for Bian He, the first jade worker of Jingchu, he still wrapped me up in exquisite yellow silk and sent me to the palace. When the yellow silk was unveiled, I saw a scene of great prosperity: a dragon chair made of gold, a white jade stepping, a pearl hanging canopy, and a mirror stone for the ground. On the dragon chair was a fat pig wearing a yellow dragon robe (I can't find a better adjective), he was full of smiles, and his words kept on: "Bian Aiqing, the king will reward you heavily, seal you as a jade doctor, give you a thousand acres of good land, and a hundred and two gold..." When he saw me, his eyes froze, his smile froze, and after silence he roared: "Bold Bian He, even dare to take a big broken stone to fool the king, you really ate the leopard's guts, come on, pull him out, cut off his left foot." ”

Bian He lost a foot, and he ignored the pain and the ridicule of others, crawled to my side that was thrown into the street, and stared at me, "This is indeed a piece of beautiful jade." People gathered around in pairs to watch and chat, "What is the world's first jade worker, it is really a vain name!" ”

Bian He didn't argue too much with others about anything, he silently picked me up and climbed home with difficulty, he said to me firmly: "Baby, I will definitely let you see the light of day again!" He learned to walk on crutches, propping up half his weight with a stick as tough as his.

A month later, Bian He hugged me and limped into the palace for the second time. The kind little eunuch tried to persuade him to go back, but Bian He had no intention of turning back and broke into the palace without hesitation. The king of Chu was full of enthusiasm. "This is indeed a piece of jade!" Bian He insisted fearlessly. The brutal King of Chu had his right foot cut off again.

Bian He had no remorse, and he lost his hands for me.

Bian He had become a waste, but he still insisted on his views. He sighed that Meiyu had not been discovered, lamented that his fate was uncertain, and the king of Chu had no eyes and no pearls, and the tears of the boy who were more precious than gold splashed from his cheeks. The sunset stars came out, the sunrise clouds dispersed, Bian He cried for a few days and nights, the tears ran out, and the red blood slowly flowed from his eye sockets and dripped onto me, like a hot spring gushing onto me. Suddenly, the beads of blood turned into a sharp arrow and flew off the stone coat outside me, little by little, the blood was flying everywhere, and the tears were clear and crystalline. When Bian He fell, I was completely exposed from the stone shell, and everyone was stunned, "This is indeed a rare treasure!" They said card-in-one. Amid the praise of the crowd, Bian He looked at me affectionately and slowly closed his eyes.

The envoy of the King of Chu came, knelt down in front of me, carefully lifted me into the golden box lined with splendid embroidery, and then sent me into the palace in four high-class carriages of good horses. The fat and bloated King of Chu personally greeted me at the door, and as soon as he opened the box, he picked me up and put me in his arms and screamed. "Pass on my order, posthumously seal Bian He as the Jade Grand Master, be included in the Shangqing, and order this wall to be Heshi Bi." In this way, I entered the Treasure House of the King of Chu, and later went to Zhao Qin.

I was disgusted by the greed, ignorance, and ferocity of the King of Chu, the cowardice and incompetence of the King of Zhao, and the sinister cunning of the King of Qin. I hated everything about the emperor, and the only thing that made me miss was Bian He's firmness, enthusiasm, and persistence, and I felt that Bian He was my true master. Finally, when Xiang Yu burned the Afang Palace, I slipped out and slept with Bian He forever.

Since then, the folk have left behind a beautiful legend of Heshi Bi.
