Magical Birdcage
In a remote town, there is a young man named Li Ming. He was hardworking and kind, but his family was poor, and he was nearly thirty years old and could not marry a wife. Whenever night fell, he would always look at the starry sky and silently pray for a warm family.
On this day, Li Ming was working in the mountains and forests as usual, when suddenly, a strange voice attracted his attention. He followed the sound and found an old birdcage, but there were no birds in it. This birdcage is quaint and delicate, and it is carved with bizarre patterns.
"Let me out, I can help you make a wish come true. An ethereal voice sounded in Li Ming's ears.
Li Ming looked around, but there was no one in sight. He asked, confused, "Are you talking, Birdcage?"
"Yes, it's me. As long as you let me out, I will grant you a wish. The birdcage made a sound again.
Li Ming's heart moved, and he remembered his wish that he had never been able to achieve - to have a warm family. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to believe in the mysterious birdcage.
"I wish I could marry a virtuous wife and form a happy family. Li Ming said sincerely.
The birdcage shook slightly, emitting a faint light: "Your wish has come true, go home quickly." ”
Li Ming picked up the birdcage in disbelief, only to see that it suddenly turned into a small bird and flew into the distance. He shook his head, thinking that he might be too tired and hallucinating. However, when he returned home, he found that there was a gentle and lovely woman in the house.
"Who are you?" asked Li Ming in surprise.
"I'm your wife, don't you remember?" the woman bowed her head shyly.
Li Ming was stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes. This woman was beautiful and gentle, and she was the ideal partner he had always dreamed of. He suddenly remembered the magical birdcage, and an inexplicable sense of gratitude welled up in his heart.
However, the happy life did not last long. One night, Li Ming suddenly woke up from a nightmare. He dreamed that his wife had been kidnapped by a group of men in black, and he desperately chased after her, but he was never able to save her. After waking up, Li Ming found that his wife was missing.
He searched in a panic, but never found his wife's whereabouts. Then he remembered the magical birdcage again. He ran back into the woods and called out the name of the birdcage.
"Are you looking for me?" the familiar voice sounded again.
Li Ming followed the prestige, only to see the little bird fly over, and in a blink of an eye, it became the ancient birdcage again. He said excitedly, "Birdcage, my wife is gone, can you help me find her?"
"Your wife has been kidnapped by the men in black, and they want to threaten you with her. "I can help you get her back, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
"What conditions?" asked Li Ming eagerly.
"You're going to trade it for an important memory of yours. The birdcage replied, "Would you like to?"
Li Ming agreed without hesitation. In his heart, there is nothing more important than getting his wife back.
"So, please close your eyes. Birdcage said.
Li Ming closed his eyes as he said. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dark basement. He saw his wife tied to a chair, his eyes filled with fear and anticipation.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" Li Ming shouted and rushed to his wife, untying the ropes from her body.
The two hugged each other tightly, tears running down their cheeks. At this moment, the basement door was suddenly kicked open, and the man in black rushed in. Li Ming tightly protected his wife and bravely faced these gangsters.
"Who are you, and why did you kidnap my wife?" Li Ming asked angrily.
"Haha, do you think you're going to be happy, we're going to ruin your good life!" said the man in black with a sly grin, "but if you're willing to join us and serve us, we might consider letting your wife go." ”
Li Ming refused without hesitation: "I will never join an evil organization like you! I would rather die than betray my conscience and principles!"
The men in black were enraged by Li Ming's words, and they rushed towards Li Ming brandishing their weapons. A fierce battle unfolds in the basement, and Li Ming struggles to resist the attack of the man in black and protect his wife beside him.
The battle lasted for a long time, and Li Ming was already covered in bruises, but he never gave up. Suddenly, a mysterious light shot out of the birdcage, immobilizing all the men in black.
"Li Ming, I am touched by your courage and persistence. The birdcage's voice echoed in the basement, "Now, you can leave with your wife." ”
Li Ming and his wife looked at each other and smiled, holding each other's hands tightly. They knew it was the miraculous birdcage that saved their lives.
When they came out of the basement, they found that the sky had cleared. The sun shines on them, bringing a touch of warmth. Li Ming looked back and saw the little bird flying happily in the sun, as if to see them off.
"Thank you, magic birdcage. Li Ming muttered to himself.
He and his wife walked home hand in hand, their hearts filled with gratitude and happiness. They know that no matter what difficulties and challenges they encounter in the future, as long as they hold hands with each other, they will be able to overcome the difficulties and move towards a better future.
However, life is not always smooth sailing. While Li Ming and his wife were living happily, the birdcage found him again.
"Li Ming, I have taken your memory. "However, I have found that there is a very precious memory in your memory, and that is the time when you and your wife met. This memory is very important to you, so I decided to give it back to you. ”
Li Ming was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears. That memory was indeed very precious to him, but he gave it up to save his wife. Now, Birdcage is willing to give this memory back to him, which makes him very surprised and grateful.
"Thank you, Birdcage. Li Ming said affectionately, "This memory means a lot to me, and I will cherish it." ”
The birdcage shook slightly, as if moved by Li Ming's decision. It slowly flew into Li Ming's hands and turned into a small bird, chirping happily.
Li Ming gently stroked the bird, his heart full of gratitude and joy. He knew that this little bird was the embodiment of a magical birdcage that would always be by his side and watch over the happy life of him and his wife.
Since then, Li Ming and his wife have lived a happier life. They supported each other and spent a lot of good time. And that little bird has always been by their side and has become an indispensable part of their lives.
However, a happy life is always short-lived. One night, Li Ming suddenly fell ill, and his condition was irreparably serious. His wife wept bitterly by his bedside, and the little bird silently accompanied her.
Li Ming held his wife's hand tightly and said with the last bit of strength: "Don't be sad, I will always be by your side." ”
After saying this, he closed his eyes forever. His wife was grief-stricken, but she knew that Li Ming would always be by her side to protect her and the bird.
The little bird also seemed to feel Li Ming's departure, and it silently flew to Li Ming's bedside, using his song to remember the former owner. Since then, the little bird has been by his wife's side, comforting her lonely soul with its crisp and melodious song. Whenever his wife hears the song of the bird, she seems to be able to feel Li Ming's presence and warmth. She knew that Li Ming hadn't left her, but had just been by her side in a different way. And this precious memory and the magical birdcage have become an eternal bond between them.
In the days after Li Ming's death, although his wife was immersed in great grief, she still lived strongly. The little bird became her only companion, singing happily by her side every day, as if to tell her that Li Ming was always there.
However, life is always full of unknowns. One day, my wife suddenly received a letter from a mysterious person, who wrote: "If you want to see your husband again, come to me." "The letter was not signed, there was only one address.
There was a glimmer of hope in his wife's heart, and although she knew it might be a trap, she decided to take a look. The little bird also seemed to sense her decision and stayed by her side.
According to the address, the wife came to an old castle. The owner of the castle is a mysterious old man who tells his wife that he has a magical potion that can resurrect Li Ming, but only if she has to give up something.
"What do you want?" asked the wife eagerly.
"I want your youth. The old man said slowly, "Are you willing to trade your youth for your husband's resurrection?"
The wife hesitated for a moment, knowing that it meant that she would age quickly, but she still nodded firmly: "I do." ”
The old man smiled and handed her a bottle of potion: "Drink it, and your husband will be resurrected." ”
The wife drank the potion without hesitation, and suddenly felt that her body began to age rapidly. But she didn't care about it, and hurried home.
When she returned home, she was surprised to find Li Ming standing at the door waiting for her. They hugged each other tightly, tears rolling down their cheeks. However, the wife found that her body had become old.
Li Ming looked at her in shock: "What's wrong with you?"
The wife smiled slightly and shook her head: "It's okay, as long as you come back." ”
Li Ming seemed to understand something, and he held his wife's hand tightly: "I will find a way to rejuvenate you." ”
So, Li Ming began to look around for a way to rejuvenate himself. He heard an old legend about a magical treasure that could rejuvenate oneself. He decided to go in search of this treasure.
During the long journey, Li Ming encountered various difficulties and challenges. But he never gave up, always believing that he could find the treasure.
Finally, he came to a mysterious cave. The cave is full of dangers, but he still pushes forward. In the depths of the cave, he found that legendary treasure - a magical potion.
Li Ming hurried home with the potion. When his wife drank the potion, her body gradually regained its youth. They hugged each other tightly, grateful for the chance fate had given them a chance to be born again.
However, they have not forgotten the mysterious old man who helped them reunite. They decided to thank him, only to find that the castle was empty. Only the little bird was still singing merrily in the castle.
They suddenly understood that the old man might be the embodiment of the magical birdcage. It has been silently guarding them and helping them through the difficulties of life.
Since then, Li Ming and his wife have lived a happier life. They cherish every day and are grateful to fate for every opportunity they have given them to reunite. And that little bird has always been by their side and has become an indispensable part of their lives.
However, the story doesn't end there. One day, Li Ming and his wife were wandering around the town's market when they suddenly heard a familiar voice. When they looked back, it was the mysterious old man.
"You've finally found me. The old man said with a smile.
Li Ming and his wife looked at him in surprise: "Are you the mysterious person who helped us reunite?"
The old man nodded: "It's me." I'm actually an old magician, and I'm always looking for someone to pass on my magic. I took a fancy to your kindness and bravery, so I decided to help you. ”
Li Ming and his wife knelt in front of the old man gratefully: "Thank you! We are willing to learn your magic and help more people." ”
The old man smiled and helped them up: "Very good, you will become my heirs." But remember, magic is meant to help others, not to satisfy one's own selfish desires. ”
Since then, Li Ming and his wife have followed the old man to learn magic and become a pair of excellent magicians. They used their magic to help many people in need, earning the respect and love of the people. And the little bird has always been by their side, cheering them on with its crisp and melodious song. Whenever they use their magic, the birds hover and flutter in the air, as if cheering them on. Li Ming and his wife's lives have become more fulfilling and meaningful. Not only do they have happy families, but they also have the ability to help others. And all thanks to that mysterious birdcage and that old magician. Their story spread throughout the town and became a good story. When night falls, people gather to tell their stories, marveling at the magic of fate and the power of magic. And Li Ming and his wife have always remembered the teachings of the old man, and used magic to help more people, so that love and hope can be passed on to thousands of families.
