[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

Live as a mayfly, live in the morning and die in the evening.

My mother said, we are ephemera, and our life is really short, so short that we can only do one thing well - find true love and pass on the family line.

We mayflies are born at sunrise and perish at sunset. We only have less than six hours in our life, but we have to use them all to find a lover, a good man, or a pretty lady.

Living for love is like moths to a flame. Although it is short-lived, it is also admirable.

However, before my mother could tell me whether I should find a wife or a husband, she died and ended her short life.I was left alone as a mayfly floating on the water surface of the stinky ditch at the east end of Lijia Village, wandering with nowhere to go, not knowing where to go.

Xiao Huaer, who was born with me, was beautiful, so she found a good husband-in-law, and the husband and wife have returned the house, and they have gone to have a baby.

I thought to myself: Should I find a lady, or a husband?Looking at the reflection in the water, my wings are light, my limbs are slender, my tail is slender, and my three eyes are even more piercing. It's beautiful-this makes me firmly believe that I should find a relative who will love me and love me, even if it is life and death.

As mayflies, we cannot eat from the moment we are born.Now that I have been flying on the water for two or three hours, I am a little physically weak, but my relatives and relatives have not been seen yet, which really makes me anxious.I was just about to stop on a leaf of aquatic plants to rest my feet, gather enough strength to continue flying, when a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the surface of the water, blowing me staggeringly and about to fall into the water.

"Help!" I yelled, clinging tightly to the water plant leaves with both feet, even though the sharp sawtooth on the leaves pulled my legs and feet almost broke, I didn't dare to let go.You know, the stinking ditch below is so stinky that even the loach that likes to eat mud can be suffocated to death. I am born with a cleanliness but I can't bear this strange smell!

At this moment, two huge monsters squeezed from left to right like two mountains, clamping my small chest.I thought I was going to be squeezed to death, but I didn't expect that the opponent's force was very light and soft, and it didn't hurt me at all.

Curiously, I rolled my eyes and looked up. It turned out that it wasn't two mountains that clamped me, but two fingers of a person.The owner of the finger is dressed in red, with blond hair and golden eyes, very handsome!I was a little dazed, I loosened the paw holding Ye Zi in a daze, and lay down obediently in his palm.

The man blew lightly on me, and my wound stopped hurting.

A young man in white next to him twitched his mouth and said, "Oh, I'm going! Brother Hou, how did Huanxi become this thing? Are you sure you want to keep him?"

The man in red smiled, took out a transparent vial lined with moist fine sand, filled it with me, and said, "The mayfly is just the mayfly, it's alive anyway, it's better than dew."

I couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but I came back to my senses and understood that this person wanted to keep me in captivity as a plaything for fun.This is not allowed!Although my life is as cheap as a mayfly, I still have backbone!

My mother said that the life of our mayflies is very short, so short that we can only do one thing well - love someone.

Although it is not possible to live day and night, it is good to be able to live and die day and night.

I haven't found my relatives yet, so how can I be locked up in a small glass bottle by this person as a plaything?Not even if he looks good!It would be fine if he was also a mayfly, and I could ask him if he would be my husband-in-law, but he is a human being, and a human and a mayfly are not compatible.

So, at the moment when the man in red was about to block the bottle with the cork, I took a deep breath, flapped my wings desperately and rushed out, fleeing like a fly that lost its head.

The young man in white was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed gloatingly: "Hahaha, I don't want to be with you, run away, run away, haha!"

The young man in red's eyes darkened, and said: "You idiot! Take it!" As he spoke, he stuffed the glass bottle into the young man in white's hand, and it turned into a thin strand of spiritual energy and chased after him.

I just ran for my life, panicked and almost bumped into the mouth of a long-awaited frog.Until someone hugged me by the waist and dragged me aside. "Yeah!" I was hit dizzy, staring at the stars.After finally calming down, he looked up and saw that he was being hugged by a mayfly with red and gold patterns all over his body, flying in mid-air.

This mayfly has strong limbs and a healthy body. It even flies higher than all the mayflies I have ever seen. It can almost overlook the scenery of the entire stinking ditch!He is more than tens of thousands of times stronger than Xiaohuaer's husband-in-law!My heart was pounding, I thought this was meeting what my mother called "true love".

"You run and run without looking at the road. If you were swallowed by a frog, wouldn't you die in vain?" He reproached, but he was more concerned.

I tilted my head in his arms, looked at him and said innocently: "You, are you willing to be my husband?"

"!" He seemed to be startled by my words, his arms trembled, and he looked down at me in surprise and joy: "What did you say?"

"Are you willing to be my husband?" I was afraid that he would not, so I asked again, and explained: "My mother said, we are mayflies, we are born at sunrise and perish at sunset. Life is but a short time. Six or seven hours. Too short, short enough to do only one thing, to love a mayfly."

There was a strange change in his expression, and besides the joy, there was also a lot of meaningful distress.It seems that there are many past events that I can't understand and can't remember clearly. There are thousands of words that belong only to me and him, and I want to say more.

I continued: "I have been born for three hours, and I will die in three hours. But I haven't found my husband-in-law, I don't want to have any regrets, so you should do yourself a favor and be my husband-in-law, okay? I— —”

"Okay, I'll be your husband-in-law. I'd like to be your husband-in-law." He said, hugging me tightly, his voice sounded choked up: "Me too, I only love one person in a lifetime, I just want you This life is not enough, in the next life, the next life...as long as it is you, I will wait, waiting to be your husband. No matter what you will be in the future, mayfly, bird, beast, human, demon, or demon."

I didn't understand much of his last sentence, but I did understand the first one.I know that from now on I have a husband-in-law, and this life is not in vain, let alone my mother's earnest expectations.More importantly, I really like him.

"I don't know your name yet." On a lotus leaf under the moonlight, lying in his arms, I looked at the stars in the sky, waiting for the end of my life.

He said: "Changliu, my name is Changliu. For a long time, as long as you need me, I will stay by your side."

"Changliu?" I repeated, and sighed with a smile: "It's a pity, brother Changliu, we can only live and die as mayflies, so how can we live forever?"

"Yes, after this life, there will be an afterlife." He said, "Well, what about you? What's your name?"

"Mother died before she had time to choose a name for me, so I don't have a name." I said, tilting my head to look at him: "Why don't you choose one for me now."

He thought for a while and said, "How about joy?"

"Happy, happy." I gradually became a little sleepy, slowly closed my eyes and smiled and said softly, "Very good. I have nothing unhappy in this life. I am indeed happy all my life."

He said: "Fool."

Judging from his voice, it doesn't look like a dying scorpion, but also very energetic.So I said, "Brother Changliu, do you still have the strength? If so, can you give me a hug?"

He picked me up and asked, "What?"

I said: "The frog just now seems to be starving to death. Anyway, it will die anyway. While I am still breathing, you can carry me to it and feed it. In this way, it is considered a good thing, and it may be lucky. Lord Xing saw it in the sky, and if you can show kindness and write a note for me in the merit book, you can still let me meet you in the next life. That... It's agreed, in the next life, you will still be my husband-in-law."

He stretched out his mouthparts and kissed my forehead lightly, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

In fact, the so-called "promise" is just a joke on my part.Even if there is an afterlife, I may not be able to meet him; and even if we meet, it may not be a different way.Still the same sentence, as mayflies, we only have six hours in our life, which is only enough to do one thing well and fall in love with one person.

But I am not greedy, I think six hours is enough.
