In the seclusion of the bottom of the valley, children's clothes carefully woven from tree bark lie quietly, as if telling an unfinished story. These clothes, every stitch and thread are full of emotional details, they are not only the embodiment of Xiaolongnu's deep affection for Yang Guo, but also her infinite vision for the future. However, when Yang Guo saw these clothes at the bottom of the Valley of Despair, did he really not have any doubts in his heart?
The warmth at the bottom of the valley of despair: the concern in the heart of the little dragon girl
In Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes", the section on the child's clothes at the bottom of the desperate valley depicts the deep emotion cut into the heart. She was alone at the bottom of the vast valley of despair, but she always held the bark in her hands, weaving her clothes. These clothes, every stitch and thread, show her meticulousness and care.
The little dragon girl chooses those soft and resilient barks, and she carefully selects each one to ensure that they are both tough and comfortable. In the process of weaving, her hands expertly weave between the bark, each knot tight and precise. She soaks the bark with water to make it softer and easier to weave, then dries it in the sun to preserve its natural colour and texture.
The little dragon girl was extremely attentive in her movements, and as she knitted, she would occasionally pick up the finished garments and compare them with their size and shape. She spent a lot of time on each piece of clothing, making sure that each one was the same as the clothes Yang Guo wore when he was in the ancient tomb. The style of these clothes is simple, but every corner and stitch reveals her attention to detail.
In this process, the little dragon girl did not speak. She just worked silently, surrounded by the silence at the bottom of the valley of despair. Occasionally, she would stop what she was doing and look around quietly. Her eyes wandered around every corner of the Valley of Despair, as if searching for something, or remembering something.
When night falls, the little dragon girl will light some hay, and the faint light of the fire will sway in the darkness. She would put her unfinished laundry aside and sit quietly by the fire. The light of the fire shone on her face, adding a warm touch of color to the dark valley floor.
Whenever the moonlight sprinkled on the valley floor, the little dragon girl would pick up a freshly knitted garment, gently spread it out, and examine it carefully. In the moonlight, those clothes looked extraordinarily soft, as if carrying all her emotions and expectations.
On some early mornings, the little dragon girl would hang these clothes on the branches of the trees to let the morning sun shine on them. Under the sun, these woven garments made from tree bark take on a unique texture that blends harmoniously with the surrounding nature.
The loneliness and memories of the little dragon girl
In the more than ten years at the bottom of the valley, the life of the little dragon girl was full of loneliness and silence. The valley floor is surrounded by high mountains, and the valley is lush with vegetation and trees, and there is often a breeze blowing, driving the rustle of grass blades. The daily life of the little dragon girl is very simple, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Every morning, the little dragon girl bathes by the stream at the bottom of the valley. She expertly washes her long hair and body, then scoops up a few fresh leaves from the stream to clean. The stream is cool and sparkling, and it looks particularly quiet in the morning light.
Lunch is usually very simple, either a few wild fruits or porridge made with medicinal herbs. In this environment, she learned to make simple and nutritious food by using the resources around her.
After dinner, the little dragon girl often walks in the valley to observe the surrounding natural landscape. Sometimes she stands on a high boulder and looks out at the mountains in the distance, or she sits quietly on the grass and listens to the wind blowing through the treetops.
In such an environment, the life of the little dragon girl, although simple, is full of the rhythm of living in harmony with nature. Although she is Xi to loneliness, the natural environment at the bottom of the valley gives her great comfort.
In the dead of night, the little dragon girl will lie in the hut she has built and fall asleep looking at the starry sky on the roof. The stars twinkle in the night sky, as if telling a distant story. On nights like this, she would relive her memories with Yang and their lives in the tomb in her dreams.
Yang Guo: The eternal light in the heart of the little dragon girl
In Xiaolongnu's memories, Yang Guo's appearance in Xiaolongnu's life has brought significant changes. Every day they spend together, they are full of laughter. Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo practiced Xi martial arts together, explored the secrets of the ancient tomb together, and shared daily bits and pieces together. In the company of Yang Guo, the life of the little dragon girl has become more colorful.
The little dragon girl will teach Yang Guo the light and internal skills of the ancient tomb sect. She instructed Yang Guo on how to manage his luck and how to walk lightly on rough terrain. Yang Guo learns very quickly, and his progress brings great joy to Xiaolongnu. They Xi light exercises together in the corridors of ancient tombs or in open valleys, and their figures moved quickly in the daylight.
They shuttled through the mountains and forests, and the little dragon girl taught Yang Guo to recognize various medicinal herbs and wild fruits. Yang Guo studied very seriously, and he was full of curiosity about the mysteries of the natural world. They pick herbs together and prepare delicious game together.
In the afternoon, the little dragon girl will teach Yang Guo swordsmanship. Her swordsmanship was elegant and sharp, and Yang Guo gradually mastered the essence of swordsmanship under her guidance. They practiced their swords in the courtyard of the ancient tomb, and the shadows of the swords shimmered in the sunlight. Yang Guo's progress is growing every day, which makes Xiaolongnu feel extremely proud.
Sometimes, the little dragon girl would teach Yang Guo how to weave from tree bark. Her movements were light and skillful, while Yang Guo followed her steps and slowly Xi. In the process, the relationship between the two became more intimate.
During a weaving session, Xiaolongnu asked Yang Guo, "What do you think of this dress?"
Yang Guo looked at the delicate work in her hand and replied with a smile: "It's beautiful, what you make is always so thoughtful." ”
The little dragon girl smiled and continued her weaving, while Yang Guo sat quietly on the side, looking at her. Such a time is invaluable to them.
In the evening, they talked about martial arts and all kinds of rivers and lakes by the fire. Yang Guo was full of curiosity about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, while Xiaolongnu answered his every question with her experience and insights. In such exchanges, their hearts are nourished by each other.
Lovesickness: The deep meaning of small clothes
In Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes", the children's clothes made by Xiaolongnu are not only a deep nostalgia for Yang Guo, but also her vision for her future family life. These clothes are a concrete expression of her emotions, entrusting her beautiful fantasy of living with Yang.
The little dragon girl was in the hut at the bottom of the Valley of Despair, carefully weaving these clothes with tree bark. Her technique is very skillful, and every stitch insertion appears to be very precise. The style of the clothes is simple but full of warmth, and each piece seems to contain her desire for future life and her longing for Yang Guo.
During the weaving process, the little dragon girl carefully measures the size of the clothes to make sure they are suitable for children. She would embroider small patterns on her clothes, such as small animals or flowers, which were natural sights she had seen at the bottom of the valley, full of life.
Sometimes, the little dragon girl would put the woven clothes in the house, and she would look at them in the firelight, as if she was examining her own work. The color of the clothes is warm and vivid in the light of the fire, adding a touch of life to the cold tomb.
Yang Guo would occasionally see these children's clothes woven by Xiaolongnu, and he would admire her skillful hands and intentions. Yang Guo said: "The clothes you knit are so beautiful. ”
The little dragon girl smiled and replied, "It's all for our possible children in the future." ”
Yang Guo looked at her, his eyes were full of warmth: "I believe that our future will be very beautiful." ”
Their conversation was brief, but it was enough to express their shared vision for the future and happiness in the present.
The little dragon girl would sometimes take these clothes to the stream at the bottom of the valley and wash them gently. She gently rinses each garment in the clear water of the stream and dries it in the sun. The clothes under the sun appear softer and brighter, as if carrying her hope for a happy life.
On a sunny afternoon, the little dragon girl sat on the grass at the bottom of the valley, with some knitted clothes beside her. She continued her work with an unfinished garment in her hand. The warm sunshine and light breeze around make it all seem so peaceful and harmonious.
Sometimes, the little dragon girl will look up at the mountains in the distance as she weaves, and her eyes seem to be full of anticipation for the future. At this time, the movements of her hands become more slow and delicate, as if weaving all her hopes and dreams into these little clothes.
Yang Guo's understanding and recognition
So when Yang Guo saw those children's clothes for the first time at the bottom of the Valley of Despair, he immediately recognized the special meaning of these clothes. The style of these clothes is exactly the same as what he wore when he was in the ancient tomb, and every stitch and thread reveals the little dragon girl's intentions and emotions.
Yang Guo gently picked up a piece of children's clothes and carefully observed its texture and structure. Although the clothes are made of tree bark, they are finely made and have smooth lines. This shows that Xiaolongnu is not only proficient in weaving skills, but also reflects her deep affection for Yang Guo.
He caressed his clothes, as if he could feel every subtle movement of the little dragon girl as she knitted. Each piece of clothing is like a testimony of Xiaolongnv's vision for the future and her deep nostalgia for Yang Guo. In these small clothes, Yang Guo could feel the deep and delicate love of Xiaolongnu for him.
Yang Guo whispered to Xiaolongnu, "These clothes are really special. ”
The little dragon girl smiled and replied, "Yes, they are my expectations for our future. ”
Yang Guo nodded, his eyes full of gratitude: "I can feel your heart." ”
This brief conversation deepened the emotional connection between them and made the two hearts and minds more closely connected.
In the days that followed, Yang Guo often saw the little dragon girl carefully weaving these clothes. He would sit quietly on the sidelines, observing the movements of the little dragon girl, and occasionally handing her the tools or thread she needed. In these ordinary and heartwarming moments, the relationship between the two becomes even deeper.
When the little dragon girl is weaving, her movements are graceful and focused. She will gently set aside the finished garment and continue her work. Yang Guo noticed that whenever Xiaolongnu finished a piece of clothing, there would always be a trace of satisfaction and joy in her eyes.
As time passed, those clothes became part of the shared memory between Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo. They are not only the little dragon girl's vision for the future life, but also become the bond of emotional communication between the two. Each piece of clothing carries their shared memories and expectations for the future.
On a quiet afternoon in the ancient tomb, Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo sorted out the clothes together. They gently folded each garment and carefully placed it in a wooden box. Although the process is simple, it is full of warmth and emotion.
These clothes, for Xiaolongnu, are not only a nostalgia for Yang Guo, but also a beautiful vision for their common future. For Yang Guo, these clothes are the embodiment of Xiaolongnu's affection and the testimony of their common feelings. In Jin Yong's pen, these simple clothes have become an important carrier to show the depth and complexity of the emotions between the two.
