Wei Zi listens to the Weaver Girl.

Once upon a time, an orphan lived with his brother and sister-in-law. My brother and sister-in-law treated him badly, told him to eat leftovers and wear rags, and drove him up the mountain to herd cattle before dawn every day. He has no name, and everyone calls him Cowherd.

Cowherd takes good care of the old cow. Every day, he always picks the best grass and lets it eat fat and tender grass; The old cow was thirsty, so she took it to the upper reaches of the stream to drink the cleanest stream. The old cow is also very close to him. She often looks at him with gentle eyes and sometimes sticks out her tongue to lick his hand.

One night, the cowherd walked into the cowshed and suddenly heard a loud cry: "Cowherd!" " Who called him? Looking back, under the faint starlight, it turned out to be the old cow talking. The old cow said, "Tomorrow evening, you will cross the mountain on the right. There is a lake on the other side of the mountain and a forest by the lake. " In the forest, you will meet a beautiful girl. Don't miss this opportunity! "

At dusk the next day, the cowherd climbed over the mountain on the right and came to the Woods by the lake. Suddenly, there was a light laugh in the distance. Cowherd followed the laughter and saw some girls playing by the lake. After a while, one of them left his partner and walked to the Woods.

Who is this girl? It turns out that she is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and she is good at brocade. Her name is Weaver Girl. Every morning and evening, the Queen Mother will decorate the sky with her colorful brocade, which is a brilliant cloud. This afternoon, the Queen Mother drank a few more glasses of wine and fell asleep on the throne. Seeing this rare opportunity, the weaver girl and the fairies flew to earth together.

Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet in the forest. During the conversation, the Cowherd understood the identity of the Weaver Girl, and the Weaver Girl also knew what happened to the Cowherd. Seeing that Cowherd is kind-hearted and hard-working, Weaver decided to stay on earth and be Cowherd's wife. Since then, the cowherd has been farming in the fields and the weaver girl has been spinning at home. The two of them work hard and live a happy life. Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and they had a son and a daughter.

One day, the cowherd went to feed the cow, and the old cow spoke again with tears in her eyes. It said, "I can't help you work in the fields. We are going to break up soon. After I die, you peel my skin and keep it. In an emergency, you put on my skin ... "The old cow didn't say anything.

Besides, in heaven, the Queen Mother was furious when she learned that the Weaver Girl had married into the world, and vowed to take the Weaver Girl back to heaven, hell to pay. One day, the Queen Mother took advantage of the Cowherd to work in the field and led the heavenly soldiers to break into the Cowherd's house to catch the Weaver Girl.

Two children ran over and grabbed their mother's clothes. The queen mother gave them a hard push and they fell to the ground. The heavenly queen dragged the Weaver Maid and went to the Heavenly Palace with a Qi Fei. While struggling, the Weaver Girl looked at the two children and shouted, "Go find dad!" " "

Cowherd was worried when he learned that Weaver Girl had been taken away by the Queen Mother. But what can heaven do to help? Suddenly, he remembered what the old cow said before she died. He quickly found the cowhide and put it on his body. Then he put a son and a woman in two bamboo baskets, picked them up and ran outside. He flew as soon as he went out.

The faster he flies, the more he can catch up with the Weaver Girl. The Queen Mother took the Hosta off her head and pulled it behind her. At the moment, a Tianhe river appeared in front of the cowherd. Tianhe is wide and thick, and the cowherd can't fly over it.

From then on, the cowherd was on the Tianhe side, and the Weaver Girl was on the Tianhe side, only across the river. After a long time, they became Altair and Vega on both sides of the Tianhe River. Every year on the evening of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, groups of magpies fly in and build a "Magpie Bridge" on the Tianhe River, where the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. On this day, magpies seem to be much less. It is said that they all went to Tianhe Bridge.
