The Story of Nu Wa and Fuxi

There is a river and a bridge in front of the village where they live. This bridge is very special. It was changed by a big, big white turtle.

People cut wood, hunt, collect grain and gather fruit, and cross the bridge every day. When I step on the back of a tortoise as white as a stone, I often feel a fresh aura, as if the tortoise were alive.

Fuxi and Nuwa, two brothers and sisters, chop wood and wash clothes every day. Every time they pass by, they can't help but reach out and gently touch the turtle's back.

On this day, Fuxi went to chop wood.

When he came to the river and was about to get on the bridge, he suddenly found tears in the white turtle's eyes. He was surprised: "Is this white turtle really alive?"

He squatted down and stroked the white turtle's head: "What's wrong with you?"

The white turtle silently shed tears and didn't look at him.

"Are you sick?" Fuxi asked with concern.

The white turtle said nothing.

"Are you tired of carrying people across the river every day? People have never tasted your taste, and they are still wronged? " Fuxi guessed doubtfully.

The white turtle didn't look at him, but Gu Zi was in tears.

Fuxi couldn't think of the reason why the white turtle shed tears, so he patted his forehead with his hand and thought hard.

Suddenly, his hand touched the bun in his pocket, and he had a brainwave and asked eagerly, "Are you hungry?"

The white turtle looked at him with tears in his eyes. It seems to answer: "Yes."

Fuxi took a bun from her pocket and stuffed it into the mouth of the white turtle.

The white turtle swallowed the bun.

"It seems that the white turtle is hungry." Fuxi thought, and put his hand into his pocket.

There is also a bun in his pocket, which is his dry food at noon. If he gives it to the white turtle, he will starve to death at noon. However, looking at the tears of the white turtle's hunger and thinking of the hard work it carried people across the river, Fuxi did not hesitate to take out the last bun and put it in the mouth of the white turtle, saying, "You eat, I can pick some wild fruits at noon to satisfy my hunger, so you don't have to worry."

Looking at the white turtle eating steamed bread, Fuxi touched its head, stood up and left.

"Good man, let me ask you something." The white turtle suddenly spoke.

This sudden sound startled Fuxi, and it took him a long time to come to his senses. He looked at the white turtle and said, "What's the matter? Go ahead. "

"From today on, will you send me a bun every day?" White turtle looked at his face and asked imploringly.

"ok."

Fuxi went home after chopping wood, and quietly told his sister Nuwa about the white turtle.

"Really?" Nu Wa's eyes widened in surprise.

"hmm."

"That ... tomorrow you go to send steamed stuffed bun, I will follow you. Is that okay? " Nuwa pleaded.

"ok." Fuxi said, "However, you should also save a bun for the white turtle."

"ok."

Since then, brother and sister have kept a bun every day and fed the white turtle hand in hand.

Half a year passed quickly.

On this day, my brother and sister came to deliver steamed buns again. They ran and jumped and came to the white turtle to compete for it. They all have to feed the white turtles first.

The white turtle said to them seriously, "You can come. Come into my stomach. "

The brother and sister looked at each other in surprise, and then they looked at the white turtle together: "Why?"

"Disaster is coming."

"Is there any trouble?" Brother and sister speak in unison.

"The sky is falling, the earth is sinking, and an overwhelming flood is coming ..." White turtle said sadly.

"Really?" Fuxi asked in surprise, "Well ... we have to go back and tell our parents and villagers ..."

"No, it's too late," said the white turtle. "The flood is coming."

Sure enough, the flood in Tian Tao has turned over, so the brother and sister had to get into the belly of the white turtle.

As soon as the brothers and sisters went in, the flood rolled up the white sea turtle. The white turtle was trapped by the flood and struggled desperately.

Brother and sister are hiding in the belly of the white turtle, their hearts are pounding and they are short of breath. It took a long time to calm down.

"Finished, parents are gone, folks are gone, villages are gone ..." Nu Wa shed tears.

Brother and sister suffered for a while and gradually calmed down.

"What is this?" Suddenly, Fuxi gave her sister a push, pointed to the pile of buns and said, "Look, isn't this the buns we feed the white turtle?"

Brother and sister grabbed the bun and looked at it again and again Although it is hard, it is not bad.

"I see." Fuxi looked at her sister and said, "This is the dry food prepared by the white turtle for us."

"The white turtle is really good." Nu Wa said.

"yes." Fuxi was puzzled: "But why did it save us?"

"Because you are kind."

The white turtle was drifting in the flood with his younger brother and sister on his back.

After 7749 days, a mountain shadow appeared in the distant sky.

The white turtle said happily, "Here we are."

Brother and sister scrambled to stick their heads out of the mouth of the white turtle.

Closer. Closer. They clearly saw that a vibrant and undulating mountain peak was in front of them. Brother and sister smiled at each other and smiled happily.

The white turtle climbed a gentle slope, panting, only to find that his limbs were limp and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

My brother and sister came out of the tortoise's stomach and took a breath of fresh air. After a narrow escape, their feet finally set foot on the ground again

After a while, they crouched down slowly, and both of them sat next to the white turtle, looking at each other and silently thinking about their own worries. At this moment, they also thought of "what to do in the future?"

Gradually, the white turtle regained her spirit. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to his brothers and sisters, "I can only send you here, and the rest depends on you." I have two steamed buns here, you can take them away. Before it gets dark, build a shack and a stove and live a good life in the future. "

Brother and sister stood up and bowed to the white turtle: "thank you."

Brother and sister turned to leave.

"Wait." The white turtle gave a cry.

My brother and sister stood still and turned to look at the white turtle.

"Your brother and sister are the only ones left in this world," said the white turtle. "Get married and don't let mankind go extinct."

Brother and sister cast a glance at each other and walked slowly up the hill.

They came to a bamboo forest and stood together in a clearing. Fuxi looked at the surrounding bamboo, looked at the surrounding terrain, nodded and said to Nu Wa, "Let's settle down here."

"hmm."

Brother and sister cut some green vines with sharp stones, tied the bamboo tips on both sides together, and put some grass on them, which made a simple shack.

It is getting dark.

My brother and sister are eating steamed bread, lying on the soft hairy grass, with the smell of soaking their lungs, and gradually falling asleep.

The next morning, just before dawn, my brother and sister got up and started their day's work.

Sister Nu Wa went to the forest to pick wild fruit mushrooms and dry branches.

Brother Fuxi reinforced the shack at home, found a stone stove and chiseled a stone tablet.

In this way, after 7749 days, my brother and sister comfortably built their home and set foot on the mountain road, and they will never get lost in the fruit-picking hunting again. In short, they live a carefree life.

On this day, they had breakfast, and no one moved, sitting at the stone table, thinking about their own worries.

Actually, that's what they think.

"Sister, do you remember what the white turtle said?"

"hmm."

"Think about it too. You can't let mankind go extinct. "

"hmm."

"But ... the brother and sister are married ... alas."

"alas." Nu Wa also let out a sigh.

This is really embarrassing for them.

A whole hour later.

Fuxi slowly raised his head and looked at his sister: "Why don't we ask Heaven to see if it is in line with God's will?"

"hmm."

Brother and sister went to the east and west sides of the mountain respectively and lit a fire.

Two clouds of smoke, like two black dragons, climbed into the sky happily.

The two black dragons slowly approached, approached, and finally merged into one, winding, hovering, shaking each other and soaring into the sky.

Brother and sister returned to the stone table and sat silently.

A whole hour later.

Fuxi said, "Sister, why don't you ask about the land?"

"hmm."

Fuxi moved the pair of stone mills to the hillside and looked at her sister.

Nu Wa picked them up and pushed them down the hill. The round stone mill rolled quickly on the hillside and suddenly hit a stone halfway up the mountain. The stone mill turned over twice and lay on the hillside.

Fuxi picked up another piece and pushed it down the hillside. The stone mill rushed down the hillside, halfway up the mountain, and suddenly turned and rolled to the stone mill pushed by Nuwa. It's getting closer and closer, and it's firmly buckled.

These two stone mills are in perfect agreement.

Brother and sister walked down the hillside and moved back to the stone mill. Both of them sat at the stone table in silence.

A whole hour later.

Fuxi suddenly found a turtle crawling towards them. He had a brainwave and said to Nu Wa, "Sister Wa, why don't you ... ask the animals on this mountain?"

"hmm."

Fuxi picked up a sharp stone as a knife, approached the tortoise, looked at it for a while, and then he cut it down.

The tortoise was split in two.

Fuxi sat back at the stone table.

A whole hour later.

At the same time, the brother and sister saw the tortoise together again and crawled away slowly.

Fuxi said, "Why don't you ... ask about the bamboo forest here?"

"hmm."

Fuxi split a bamboo in half with a knife.

A whole hour later. At the same time, my brother and sister saw that the split bamboo grew together in harmony.

"Ask about the water here." Fuxi stood up and said.

"hmm."

Brother and sister came to the stream.

Fuxi walked to the other side.

Nu Wa holds an animal bone needle in her hand and Fuxi holds a green hemp thread in her hand. The two men looked at each other and threw the needle and thread into the middle of the river.

The green twine went into the eye of the animal bone needle.

Brother and sister looked at each other. Holding hands, I silently returned to the stone table.

A whole hour later.

Fuxi said, "It's getting dark. Finally, ask this mountain. "

"hmm."

"There are six caves on the sunny hillside. You get into one of them. I'll come to you later. I only went into one cave. If you are inside, we will get married. "

"hmm."

Nu Wa slowly left.

After a while, Fuxi strode to a cave. He went in without thinking. Just a few steps later, Nu Wa was greeted from the inside.

My brother and sister are sitting in front of the cave.

When the sun went down, they didn't go into the bridal chamber, because there were birds chirping, and they felt shy.

The birds rested. They didn't go into the bridal chamber because the moon was still on their heads. They felt shy.

The moon got into the clouds.

They walked into the new house hand in hand.
