Folk tale: The cowherd baby accidentally ate the double-leaf clover, was dragged away by a python, and took the little girl back to the village three years later
In a remote mountain village, there is a cowherd baby named Amin. Every morning, he would lead the village cattle up the hill to graze, and then drive them home in the evening. Although Ah Ming is young, he is smart and clever, and he is deeply loved by the villagers.
On this day, the sun was shining, and after driving the cattle to the mountain as usual, Amin sat down on a large rock to rest. He looked at the verdant mountains and couldn't help but feel a little comfortable in his heart. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a strange little grass growing in a crack in the stone. The grass has two leaves, each of which has a peculiar pattern that looks like a natural pattern. Curious, Armin reached for it, thinking that this grass might have some special use.
Unbeknownst to him, as soon as Ah Ming put the grass in his mouth, he felt a wave of dizziness hit him, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably. He tried hard to open his eyes, but felt that his eyelids weighed like a thousand pounds. At this moment, a fishy wind blew, and Amin vaguely saw a huge python slowly approaching. The python opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Ah Ming's whole body.
When the villagers found out that Amin was missing, they went up the mountain to look for him. They searched the entire mountain, but they didn't see even a shadow of Amin. Some say that Amin may have been taken by a wild beast, and some say that he may have been lost. But in any case, Amin disappeared mysteriously.
Time passed like flowing water, and three years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the villagers were chatting at the entrance of the village, when they suddenly saw a figure walking in the distance. When I got closer, it was Ah Ming, who had been missing for a long time! He was followed by a little girl with a double ponytail, and the two were holding hands, and they seemed to be very close.
The villagers were pleasantly surprised, and they all gathered around to ask where Ah Ming had gone in the past three years. Armin just smiled and shook his head, reluctant to say more. He walked into the village with the little girl as if he had never left.
However, with Amin's return, a series of bizarre events begin to take place in the village. First, the poultry and livestock in the village disappeared inexplicably, and then someone saw strange figures wandering around the village at night. What's even stranger is that whenever these events occur, Amin and the little girl mysteriously disappear and do not reappear until the next morning.
The villagers began to talk about it, some thought that Ah Ming was possessed by a monster, and some thought that the little girl was changed by a monster. They began to alienate Amin and the little girl, and there were even proposals to drive them out of the village.
Amin felt the change in the villagers, but he didn't explain anything. He just silently took the little girl to live in the village, trying not to disturb others as much as possible. However, as the incidents became more frequent, the villagers' hostility towards Ah Ming and the little girl also deepened.
That night, another case of poultry went missing in the village. Angry villagers, gathered in front of Amin's house and demanded a reasonable explanation. Ah Ming sighed helplessly, and finally told his experience in the past three years.
It turned out that the double-leaf clover grass that Ah Ming accidentally ate back then was not an ordinary thing, but a magical herb that could connect people with the demon world. After he was swallowed by a python, he did not die, but entered a mysterious demon world. There, he meets a kind-hearted demon king and many youkai friends. They taught Amin a lot of knowledge and spells from the Demon Realm, allowing him to survive in the Demon Realm.
And that little girl is actually the daughter of the demon king. Because she was curious about the world, she followed Armin to the world. The reason why they disappear at night is because they went to the demon world to deal with some affairs. And the disappearance of poultry is a prank made by some demons in the demon world for fun.
After listening to Ah Ming's story, the villagers were stunned. They didn't expect Ah Ming to experience such a bizarre thing, and they didn't expect that cute little girl to be the daughter of the demon king. For a while, everyone didn't know what to say.
Ah Ming couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart as he watched the villagers' reactions. He knew that he had become estranged from the villagers, but he did not regret his choice. He is grateful to his friends in the demon world for their help and care for him, and he also cherishes the deep relationship with the little girl. He decided to stay in the village and live in peace with the villagers, while also protecting the secret of his identity and that of the little girl.
From then on, Amin and the little girl lived a peaceful life in the village. Although the villagers still maintain a certain distance and are wary of them, they do not feel lonely and lost. They have touched more and more people with their kindness and sincerity, and have gradually won the respect and trust of the villagers.
As the days passed, although the life of Amin and the little girl in the village was peaceful, there were always some hiccupes. The little girl's innocence and liveliness often attracted onlookers from the villagers, and her strange words and deeds gradually broke the villagers' initial prejudices. With the knowledge he learned in the demon world, Ah Ming helped the villagers solve the problems that plagued them many times, such as guiding lost travelers and predicting harvests, which made his reputation gradually rise in the village.
One day, there was a sudden roar of beasts in the mountains and forests around the village, and it seemed that there were fierce beasts. The villagers were terrified, fearing that the beasts would come down the mountain and harm people and animals. Ah Ming knew that this was by no means an ordinary beast, but a monster in the demon world that had broken into the world for some reason.
In order to protect the villagers, Amin decided to go up the mountain to find out for himself. He told the little girl to stay at home, and he walked into the mountains and forests alone with a demon exorcision staff brought from the demon world. After some arduous exploration, Amin finally found the monster's hiding place - a hidden cave.
It turned out that this monster was punished by the demon king because he made a mistake in the demon world and came to the world to think about it. But it is stubborn by nature, and does not repent, but acts as a blessing in the world. Ah Ming battled with it, and finally relied on his wisdom and the power of the demon exorcist staff to successfully subdue the monster and send it back to the demon world.
When the villagers learned of this, they were all impressed by Amin. They thanked Amin for removing a major problem for the village, and also gained more understanding and acceptance of him and the little girl's identity. Armin was not complacent about his heroic deeds, and he still lived a low-key and simple life, guarding the peace of the village.
And the little girl also gradually adapted to life in the world during this time. She learned to communicate with others, play, and even help the village grandmothers with simple household chores. Her kindness and innocence infected every villager, and everyone sincerely accepted her.
As time passed, Ah Ming and the little girl's life in the village became more and more harmonious and beautiful. They have proved with their actions that whether they are humans or demons, as long as they are kind and upright, they can be respected and accepted by others. And the cowherd baby Amin, who once disappeared mysteriously and returned with a little girl, has also become a legend in the village.
The days pass slowly in peace and busyness, and the lives of Ah Ming and the little girl seem to be no different from ordinary people, but they always hide secrets deep in their hearts.
One summer, the village was hit by a rare rainstorm that caused the river to swell and wash away the village's bridges to the outside world. The villagers are trapped in the village, unable to go out to buy necessities, and to make matters worse, the village's food reserves are running out.
Amin stood by the flood-swept bridge, his brow furrowed. He knows that if this problem is not solved in time, the villagers will face a huge dilemma. At this moment, the little girl suddenly grabbed his hand and said mysteriously, "Brother Amin, we can go to the demon king for help!"
Ah Ming was stunned, he had never thought of using the power of the demon world to solve the problems of the human world. But looking at the little girl's serious eyes, his heart moved, maybe this is really a feasible way.
So, Ah Ming took the little girl and took advantage of the night to enter the mysterious demon world again. They found the Demon King and explained their intentions. After hearing this, the demon king pondered for a moment, then nodded and promised to help them.
The Demon King sent a team of demons with magical powers that could easily cross the flood and deliver the supplies needed by the villagers to the village. Soon, the crisis in the village was alleviated, and the villagers were grateful to Amin and the little girl.
After this incident, Amin and the little girl's position in the village was even more secure. They not only used their own strength to help the villagers, but also built a bridge between the human world and the demon world, so that the two worlds could help each other and understand each other.
However, the good times were short-lived. A few years later, a fire broke out in the mountains and forests around the village, and the fire spread rapidly, endangering the safety of the entire village. The villagers were terrified and fled their homes. Amin and the little girl also joined the fleeing group.
In the process of fleeing, Amin accidentally got separated from the little girl. He anxiously searched around, but the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the smoke billowed so thick that he could barely breathe. Just then, he heard the little girl's cry. He followed the sound and finally found the little girl in a small ravine.
The little girl is entangled in a huge python with its bloody mouth wide open and seemingly ready to swallow her at any moment. Seeing this, Armin rushed forward without hesitation and started a desperate struggle with the python. After a fierce battle, Armin finally subdued the python and saved the little girl.
But Amin was also seriously injured and unconscious. The little girl cried and stayed by his side, constantly calling his name. At this moment, the Demon King suddenly appeared in front of them. He looked at the unconscious Amin, sighed, and then reached out and tapped it on Amin's forehead.
A magical power passed from the demon king's hand into Ah Ming's body, and his wounds began to heal rapidly, and his face gradually returned to ruddy. After a while, Amin woke up. He looked at the Demon King and said gratefully, "Thank you, Demon King. ”
The demon king shook his head with a smile and said, "It was your own kindness and bravery that saved you. You have not only helped the human world, but also the demon world. You are the bridge between our two worlds and our common pride. ”
After hearing this, a warm current surged in his heart. He knows that he has a great responsibility on his shoulders, but he also believes that as long as he has love and courage in his heart, he can overcome all difficulties and protect this wonderful world.
Since then, Amin and the little girl have continued to guard the village, and although their lives are full of unknowns and dangers, they have always maintained their optimism and strength. Their story has also spread throughout the village and has become a legend in the mouths of generations after generations.
