Axinia's inner struggle

Axinia is a woman, a healthy young living woman.

She was in her early twenties, in the prime of her youth.

She is a poor woman with a bad fate, misfortune in her early years, and a rough life.

But she is strong, she still has love in her heart, and she longs to be loved.

It's a pity that her husband Stepan can't give her any of this.

That's when Gregory broke into her life.

Axinia's backwater-like life was completely disrupted, and the little passion she had buried deep in her heart was ignited.

The tall young man was secretly watching her, and a pair of black eyes were always staring at her, staring at her heart.

It feels so good to be noticed, remembered, and cared for!

Axinia's heart moved, and she seemed to rekindle hope for life.

At the same time, she felt a hint of fear, and on the surface she tried her best to resist and shirk, but inside she was full of longing.

She didn't dare to accept it, and she didn't want to refuse.

Perhaps, the little affection expressed by Gregory has become the courage of this poor woman to live.

However, reason kept reminding her that the two of them would never end well together, and they should not interact, but she was reluctant in her heart.

She was scared because she felt that no matter what she did, Gregory would not back down.

Axinia refused, caught in a deep tangle.

This feeling of novelty frightened her, like walking on the thin ice that the Don River had begun to melt in March, trembling and cautious.

After sending her husband Stepan to camping, Axinia secretly decided not to meet Gregory in the future.

A tryst while mowing the lawn

A woman's belated love is not the bright red tulips on the prairie, but the intoxicating fairies that grow wildly on both sides of the road.

This is an interesting statement.

In the original Russian, two adjectives "blue" and "red" are used to describe flowers, and the literal translation of the original text is:

A woman's belated love is not a blue and red flower, but a ......

What does this mean, and how do you translate it?

What does the "blue" flower represent, and why is it followed by the adjective "red"?

Russian folklore often mentions fairyland, which is full of blue flowers, so are the flowers really blue?

In some works, the Don steppe is also called the "blue steppe".

I have the impression that the grassland is originally green, so why is it blue?

After checking the information, I agree with this statement.

Blue, especially azure flowers, should be a symbol, presumably related to factors such as the sun, dawn, and sky, implying that it can bring light, joy, and hope.

Some Russians say that "azure flowers" is just a nickname for red poppies, peonies, tulips, and small yellow flowers, and not specifically referring to one color.

I thought about it for a while, and I decided to go with this statement.

Therefore, the implication of this statement is:

Axinia's belated love is not a beautiful flower that brings hope, but an addictive and crazy fairy.

It is said that the color blue also has the meaning of separation in the language of flowers. I don't understand the tone, so I don't dare to talk nonsense.

In the Don region, in the backyards of the few frequented areas, beside the roads and in the garbage dumps, there is a tall bush with dirty pale yellow or purple flowers that emit an unpleasant smell.

This is the heavenly fairy, a highly poisonous plant.

Its seeds resemble poppies, and those who eat it go crazy.

Poisoned people are nervous and comatose, so they are called "heavenly fairies".

In the Middle Ages, it was believed that the fairies were created by the devil.

The mysterious fairy can twist people's minds, and with its help people can communicate with evil spirits.

Witches also use it as a raw material to make "witch ointment", which is said to evoke very vivid hallucinations when applied to a woman's skin, and when dancing makes them feel like they are flying in the air.

The ancient wolf warriors believed in the wolf god, and they only went to the battlefield after drinking the fairy drink.

During the battle, these wolf warriors hallucinate, believing themselves to be fierce wolves, tireless and painless, fighting until they die.

The ancient Slavs believed that the celestial fairies could aphrodisiac, replenish men's abilities, and give men strength.

There is also an ancient ritual: at dawn, a man walks alone into a field, takes off his clothes, stands on one leg, and at the same time cuts off the stem of a fairy.

It is believed that after doing so, the man's attraction to the woman will be greatly increased, and the women will take a keen interest in him.

Think about this scene for a moment, a man with bare PP standing next to a fairy on one leg, hehe!

It is said that in the Middle Ages, fairy seeds were widely used in Germany to enhance the intoxicating effect of the drink.

The names of many German cities are inextricably linked to the word fairy, and there is also a German brand called "Pilsner".

I think I've actually drunk this brand of beer.

Later, the German government issued a special decree prohibiting the addition of fairy seeds to beer.

Axinia's belated love is not a beautiful flower, but a bewitching poisonous weed.

On this day, the Mairekhov family went to mow the grass.

The old man, Pan Twelai, his son Gregory, his daughter Duniyashka, his daughter-in-law Daria with her children, and the invited helper, the neighbor Axinia.

The whole village came out to cut the grass.

Both the man who mows the grass and the woman who rakes the grass are dressed up like for the New Year.

The women were dressed in beautiful dresses, brightly embroidered aprons, colorful flower headscarves, and scattered flowers and branches and songs all over the meadow like flowers.

This is a traditional custom that has been practiced since ancient times.

The purpose of mowing is to cut down the grass, bundle it together and store it for the livestock to eat in the winter and spring when there is no grass.

During the night, the family did not return to the village.

Gregory lived alone in a cattle herding place, and the rest of the people lived near the carts.

In the middle of the night, Gregory sneaked to the place where he had parked, and stood more than ten steps away.

People are tired after a day's work, and they are still immersed in sleep.

A gray, tightly clothed figure left the cart and dodged slowly towards Gregory, standing two or three steps from him.

Gregory's heart pounded, and he took a step forward, lifted the placket of his coat, and took the meek, hot Acsinia into his arms.

Her knees shook and trembled, her teeth creaking.

Gregory jerked her up like a hungry wolf tossed a biting sheep on his back.

Axinia struggled, gasping in her sour sheepskin coat, tormented by remorse.

Axinia cried out almost in a low, pained voice:

"Let go of me, what's there now...... I'll walk ...... myself."

No one forced anyone, no one wronged anyone, whether it was a man or a woman, they all wanted to go by themselves.

The two are happy, and both of them are willing.

These are two young men and women driven by impulsive instincts.

It was also the first tryst between the two.

Late love is poisonous

Ever since her lawn mowed tryst, Axinia had become a completely different person.

It was as if someone had made a mark on her face and branded it.

When the women met her, they smiled slyly and shook their heads behind her back.

The girls were quite envious of her, and she held her happy, but shameful head high.

After all, the paper can't contain the fire.

The rumors reached the old man, Pan Taolai, and the old man was mad.

He approached Axinia and confronted her, trying to get her to leave his son.

But what did Axinia say to him?

Axinia straightened her chest and pressed her mountain-like chest against the old man, who was forced to step back.

Her bulging breasts quivered in the tight blouse, like a wild bird struggling in a net.

Sue me! Sue wherever you fall in love! Write to my husband, go, sue the official, sue the official, sue the sky, Gregory is also mine, mine! He is mine now, and he will be mine......

As for your son, as long as I want, I will chew him up to the bones, and I have nothing to do, and I will not bear any responsibility!

Read the Soviet masterpiece "The Quiet Don" (7): belated love is poisonous

Axinia gasped for breath and shouted like madness:

For the sins I have suffered in this life, I have to love enough......

Even if you beat me to death in the future, I will admit it! Gregory is mine!

For the sake of this belated love, Axinia saw through her face, regardless of her shame, gave up everything, and she went completely insane.

So, what awaits them both?

This belated love drove Axinia crazy, and she was completely indulged in bitter love.

Ignoring his father's threats, Gregory snuck to her house at night and returned before dawn.

After only two weeks' work, he was exhausted and exhausted, like a horse after a long journey.

As a result of the sleepless nights, the cheekbones on his face were taller, and his brown skin was blue.

The eye sockets were deep-set, and the two dry black eyes were lifeless.

Now, when Axinia went out, she didn't wear a headscarf around her face, two lumps of black blue under her eyes, and two slightly turned lips that showed a disturbed and provocative smile from time to time.

The love between the two is in full swing, and they seize all the time to love each other, and they must love enough before Stepan returns.

The two of them love each other so much that they have reached the point of almost madness.

Their love is beyond the ordinary, too outrageous, too blatant, and they don't take others seriously at all, as if there is no one else in this world except the two of them.

To hell with the eyes of others and the opinions of others!

This pair of wild mandarin ducks love vigorously, love to death, and love without shame......

The relationship between the two of them is completely public.

The two of them are not ashamed at all, they devote themselves wholeheartedly to the flames of love, they are not afraid of people knowing at all, and everything is not hidden.

The bodies of the two are getting thinner day by day, and their faces are getting more and more ugly.

Now, when the neighbors meet them, they are a little embarrassed to look at them.

It should be said that in this regard, Gregory and Axinia are very similar, both are the kind of people who dare to act boldly, both are people who are desperate for love.

In fact, in those times, especially the Cossacks, who fought on the battlefield, lived with knives licking blood, there was a day when there was no tomorrow, therefore, in the genes of the Cossacks, it seems that there was no waiting for the word.

Even now, after experiencing the pain of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the vast majority of Russians have the same attitude towards life, not saving money and not wanting tomorrow.

But when the harsh reality is in front of the pair of wild mandarin ducks, how do the two of them cope?

There are only nine days left before Stepan returns home!

Gregory Says:

It's still early!

Axinia Says:

Stepan will kill me......

Probably, as soon as my man comes back, you'll throw me away? Are you afraid of him?

Gregory Says:

Why should I be afraid of him? You are his wife, so you should be afraid of him!

As soon as Stepan returned, it wasn't a joke.

Daddy is about to say goodbye to me!

It was clear that Gregory was not afraid of Stepan, or rather, he didn't care about Stepan at all.

Stepan is back, what can I do?

Axinia was different, she was scared:

Damn it, why are you pestering me?

How can I survive in the future?...... Grie-sh-Ka...... You've taken my soul away...... I'm done......

Stepan will come back and spare me?...... When the time comes, who will come out and speak for me?......

So, Axinia thought of running away.

She wanted Gregory to take her out of here, wherever she wanted, as long as she could be with the people she loved.

However, Gregory did not want to leave the village, he did not want to go anywhere.

Yako Sato Echi Lai Yue Dark.

In the darkness, Gregory didn't see Axinia crying......
