Widow and weasel
In a small remote mountain village, there lived a young widow named Ah Lian. Ah Lian's husband died of illness at an early age, leaving her alone to guard several dilapidated mud houses. Although she is young, she has a strong personality, is hardworking and capable, and always keeps the house in order. However, fate does not seem to be lenient on her, and her life is always full of bizarre twists and turns.
One day, Ah Lian went to the mountains to chop firewood as usual. The sunlight shone through the dense foliage on her thin figure, casting a dappled light and shadow. She hummed a little song, and the axe in her hand was wielded vigorously. Suddenly, a strange noise came from the depths of the woods, as if something was whispering. Ah Lian's heart tightened, and the axe in her hand stopped. She looked around, but there was nothing wrong with the trees.
Ah Lian shook her head, thinking that she had misheard, so she continued to chop wood. However, the strange sound sounded from time to time, as if something was peeking at her in the dark. Ah Lian's heart became more and more uneasy, and she sped up the speed of chopping wood, wanting to go down the mountain and go home as soon as possible.
Just as she was about to finish chopping the last bundle of firewood, she suddenly felt something swoop down from behind. She screamed, and the axe in her hand came out of her hand. She jerked around, only to see a weasel staring at her viciously with a pair of green eyes.
Ah Lian trembled with fright, but she knew that she couldn't panic at this time. Pretending to be calm, she picked up a thick twig from the ground and swung it at the weasel. The weasel seemed to be intimidated by her momentum, took a few steps back, then turned and fled deeper into the woods.
Ah Lian let out a sigh, but she was terrified. She didn't understand why the weasel had attacked her suddenly. She packed her things and hurried down the hill to go home.
However, it didn't end there. Since that day, Ah Lian's life has become more and more bizarre. She often felt that someone was following her, and her belongings disappeared from time to time. What's even stranger is that in the dead of night, she can always hear some strange sounds, like someone whispering.
Ah Lian knew in her heart that it was all about the weasel. She decided to find out what was going on and what the weasel was trying to do.
So, she began to pay attention to the movements in the village. She discovers that whenever weasels appear, the chickens and ducks in the village will always disappear for no apparent reason. Moreover, some old people in the village also told her that this weasel has been in the village for a long time, and it seems to have some special ability to control some small animals.
Ah Lian was shocked when she heard this, and she realized that this weasel was not a simple animal, and it might have some kind of secret that no one knows. She decides to investigate further and uncover the weasel's true colors.
One night, Ah Lian lit an oil lamp in the house and waited quietly for the weasel to appear. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the weasel to quietly appear outside her window. It stared at Ah Lian with a pair of green eyes.
Ah Lian's heart tightened, but she didn't panic. She slowly stood up, walked to the window, and made eye contact with the weasel. She noticed that there seemed to be an indescribable grief and sadness in the weasel's eyes.
Ah Lian's heart moved, and she suddenly thought that this weasel might not be here to harm her, but had some kind of suffering. She decides to try to communicate with the weasel to see if she can untie the knot in its heart.
So, she whispered, "Xiao Huang, I know you can understand me. Why do you keep pestering me, if you have any problems or difficulties, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you. ”
The weasel seemed to be moved by her words, and a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in its eyes. Then, suddenly, it turned around and ran deep into the woods. Seeing this, Ah Lian's heart moved, and she decided to follow the weasel to see where it was going.
She cautiously followed the weasel, through the dense forest, across the stream, and into a remote cave. The weasel stopped at the mouth of the cave, glanced back at Ah Lian, and then turned and burrowed into the hole.
Ah Lian hesitated for a moment, then plucked up her courage and followed her into the cave. The cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. She groped her way forward, but her heart was uneasy.
Suddenly, a faint light appeared in front of her eyes. She followed the light and saw a small stone platform in the depths of the cave, on which was a dilapidated clay pot. A faint glow emanated from the clay pot that illuminated the entire cave.
Ah Lian took a closer look and saw that the clay pot contained some strange liquids and exuded a strange aroma. It dawned on her that the weasel had been guarding the pot, and that the chickens and ducks in the village were missing because it needed the animals to feed something in the pot.
However, what surprised Ah Lian even more was that when she looked closely at the clay pot, she found that something seemed to be squirming inside. When she looked closer, she saw a small weasel cub hidden in the clay pot!
It dawned on Ah Lian that the weasel had been protecting her child, and that the reason why it was pestering her was because it mistakenly thought that Ah Lian posed a threat to her and her child.
A warm current swelled in Ah Lian's heart, she understood the weasel's distress, and also felt its maternal love. She gently stroked the clay pot and said gently, "Xiao Huang, don't worry, I won't hurt you and your children." I will help you find a safe place where you can live in peace. ”
The weasel seemed to understand her, and it walked up to Ah Lian and gently rubbed the back of her hand with its head. Ah Lian smiled and gently stroked its head, her heart full of warmth and emotion.
So, Ah Lian began to look around for a suitable place for the weasel mother and son to live. She searched the entire mountain forest and finally found a suitable cave in a secluded valley. She cleared the burrow, covered it with soft hay, and created a welcoming home for the weasel mother and son.
The weasel mother and son have moved into a new home, and they are full of gratitude and trust in Ah Lian. Ah Lian also visited them often, brought some food and water, and had a wonderful time with them.
Since the weasel mother and son have a stable home, Ah Lian's life has also returned to peace. The chickens and ducks in the village never disappeared again, and the strange sounds and the feeling of tracking were gone. Ah Lian knows that all this is because she used love and kindness to resolve the misunderstanding and conflict with the weasel.
The story spread throughout the village, and people praised Ah Lian for her kindness and bravery. They all said that they should learn from Ah Lian's spirit and treat every life around them with love and tolerance.
And Ah Lian also learned a lot of truths from this experience. She understands that both humans and animals have their own emotions and sufferings. As long as we understand and tolerate them with our hearts, we can build a harmonious and symbiotic relationship.
Since then, Ah Lian's life has become more fulfilling and beautiful. Not only did she have a warm home, but she also gained a lot of sincere friendship and respect. And the weasel mother and son have also become an indispensable part of her life, accompanying her through many joyful and warm moments. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the weasel cub has grown up and turned into a vigorous weasel. And Ah Lian has gradually entered middle age from a young widow. Although the years have left traces on her face, her eyes are still bright, and her heart is still full of kindness and warmth.
Ah Lian's relationship with the weasel mother and son is getting closer and closer. Whenever she went up the mountain to chop wood or collect medicine, the weasel mother and son would always quietly follow her, as if they were her patron saints. And Ah Lian will always prepare some delicious food for them and share the bits and pieces of life with them.
One day, Ah Lian found a rare herb in the mountains. This herb is said to be able to treat many incurable diseases and is extremely valuable. Ah Lian was so excited that she carefully dug up the herbs and prepared to take them home and prepare them to concoct them.
However, just as she was about to descend the mountain, she suddenly encountered a pack of vicious wolves. These wild wolves had a cold glint in their eyes, obviously staring at the herbs in her hands. Ah Lian's heart tightened, she knew that she was no match for these wild wolves, so she could only try to stay calm and look for a chance to escape.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps. Ah Lian looked up and saw the weasel mother and son rushing over quickly. They stood in front of Ah Lian and confronted the wolf.
Although the weasel mother and son are small, their eyes reveal determination and bravery. They are undaunted in their fight with the wolves, sometimes charging into battle, sometimes nimbly evading. Touched by their bravery, Ah Lian clung to the herbs and prayed silently in her heart.
After a fierce battle, the weasel mother and son finally drove the wolf away. They were covered in dust and blood, but their eyes gleamed with victory. Ah Lian hugged them excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
She said with emotion: "Thank you, little yellow and cub. It was you who saved my life, and it was you who made me understand what true bravery and friendship are. ”
The mother and son of the weasel seemed to understand her words, and they rubbed their heads against Ah Lian's cheeks and let out a gentle cry. Ah Lian smiled and stroked their heads, her heart filled with gratitude and love.
Since then, Ah Lian's relationship with the weasel mother and son has become even deeper. They have spent many joyful and warm times together, but also faced many difficulties and challenges together. But no matter what difficulties they encounter, they can always support each other and get through them together.
The story became a good story in the village, and people were touched by the deep affection of Ah Lian and the weasel mother and son. They all expressed their desire to learn from Ah Lian's kindness and bravery, as well as the loyalty and bravery of the weasel mother and son.
From this experience, Ah Lian also strengthened her belief that as long as we treat every life around us with love and kindness, we can establish a harmonious and symbiotic relationship and make the world a better place.
