1. There is a beautiful folk tale in Japan: on the shore of the beautiful Crane Lake, a group of cranes fly every night. One of the feathers is white and plump, and the song is gentle and beautiful, which is particularly cute. It is said that it is the embodiment of the girl Atong.
2. One day, something unfortunate happened: Atong fell in the rice field with an arrow.
3. Heping, who is working, sees this scene and is very sympathetic. He gently pulled out a sharp arrow and bandaged the wound... Atong was saved.
4. Atong woke up and was very grateful to this kind young man. She flapped her wings and flew into the sky, then turned back to circle and chirp. You listen! As if to say, "Thank you!" Thank you! ”
5. Ah Tong greeted the sunset and returned to the shore of Xianhe Lake. She stroked her injured leg, and couldn't help but think of the simple, generous and flat: even if she sacrificed everything for herself, she also had to repay the benefactor.
6. One clear night, Atong came to the outside of the house with Ping. At first glance with the swing door, it was a fairy-like girl. The poor and ping heard the girl say that she was willing to be his wife, which was really surprising.
7. The news of his marriage to Pinghe Atong spread, and the villagers came to congratulate him. The old men blessed them; the young men rejoiced for them; the girls smiled and wanted to see the bride.
8. Poor Yo ping lost his father and mother from a young age. He was diligent and hard-working. It was Atong who brought her warmth and happiness. The good life held them together, and the two of them vowed to love each other forever.
9. Ah Tong is skillful, and every day when he goes out to work with Ping, he weaves brocade in the machine room. How beautiful is this brocade weaving! It was as light as a white cloud, as shimmering as a star, as bright as a hundred flowers.
10. Because of the tapestry, Atong is much thinner. Heping said bitterly, "Ah Tong, don't tapestry anymore, I can go up the mountain to cut firewood and sell it." ”
11. One day, With Ping will go to the market to sell firewood. Atong asked him to bring the woven brocade and said that he could sell it in exchange for some grain and oil and salt. With Ping gone, they are really a bit clinging to each other.
12. The radiant, colorful thousand feather brocade immediately attracted people. The brocade was sold, and Ping got a bag full of money, but it made him beautiful.
13, Atong was able to weave a thousand feathers of brocade, and the news spread throughout the nearby villages. When the merchants heard this, they immediately consulted with the broker Lao Yun, who wanted to sell the brocade to the capital, and it was said that a piece of material could sell for a thousand yuan.
14. The deception begins: "Youping, I heard that your wife can weave beautiful brocade, you are really blessed from heaven, but you are going to make a fortune!" If those materials were brought to the capital, a piece of material would be worth a hundred yuan. ”
15. With a flat count of fingers, I can't count a hundred dollars is a few dozen, because he has never seen so much money. Old things and old luck you a word, I a word, said and calm heart.
16. Back with Ping. Atone greeted her happily, gently patted him off the snowflakes, and then put them on the small dining table and brought hot dishes and hot rice.
17. Eat a meal with Pingmei, and then say that there is something to discuss with Atong, but it is not easy to say it directly, let Atong guess for himself. Atong guessed several times and guessed wrong, where did she know that her husband was beginning to change his mind.
18. Hehei Atong could not guess it, and he really said that he wanted her to weave another brocade so that he could sell it at a high price in the capital; he also said that this was the idea of an old thing, and he could make money in the capital... You see, how beautiful he thinks!
19. Atong listened in astonishment, looking in pain as if everything had changed now. Late at night, she decided to settle accounts with the nasty guy of the old thing. Walking, walking, she passed out.
20. After waking up with Ping, he found Atong in the snow. He hurriedly carried her into the house, placed her by the stove, and warmed her hands painfully. This affection makes Ah Tong infinitely attached.
21. In order to repay The Saving Grace of Peace, for the sake of their love, Atong decides to tapest one last time. She once again instructed Youping not to peek when weaving brocade, saying that as long as you peek, their fate will be over.
22. Atong returned to the machine room, grabbed the feathers he had plucked from his body with his mouth, and woven it into the priceless thousand feather brocade.
23. Old things and old transport sneaked to the computer room to see the end, no matter how to block with Ping, they still peeked at the scene of the machine room in the crack of the door.
24. With Ping asks what they see? However, the old things and old fortunes of the black heart did not say anything, just a sly smile on their faces.
25. With Ping can no longer bear it. He forgot Atong's instructions, forgot his oath, and he peeked in: Ah! Why didn't I see Atong?
26. As Ping is wondering, Atong appears in front of him. Atong had exhausted all his feathers, and his weak body was pitifully thin. However, she seems more innocent and cute.
27. Atong said sadly, "You did not keep your oath, and we had to separate." I hope you don't sell these two brocades and let it stay with you forever. "And looking at the brocade, the heart is beautiful, who has the heart to listen to the voice of Atong's farewell."
28. The dawn has dawned in the east, the snowflakes are still fluttering, and Atong has turned into a white crane and flew into the sky. Yohei looked painfully at the distant Yuzuru and said to himself, "What made me lose Atong?" What is it? ”
