"The big beetle can read!" Xiaoying' e said, "Look at the way it turns pages!"
As she grew up, she became worse rather than better. However, she looks very good, which is her misfortune. Otherwise, she will probably be controlled differently from now on.
"Your head needs to be soaked in strong alkaline water!" Her mother said. "When you were a doll, you stepped on my apron. I am afraid that you will often step on my heart when you grow up. "
She really did it.
Now she has gone to a rich family in the countryside to help. People treat her like their own children, so she dresses well. The better she looks, the more she thinks she is great.
She worked outside for a year, and her master said to her, "Xiaoying 'e, you should go back and see your parents!" " "
She also went back, just to show them how beautifully she was dressed. However, when she walked out of the country and approached the city, she saw a group of girls and young men chatting by the pool in the street, while her mother was sitting on a stone to rest, with a bundle of firewood beside her, which she picked up from the Woods. So Ying-e leaned forward and walked back. She felt that it was a shame to have such a mother dressed so beautifully and dressed in rags to collect firewood. She didn't feel sad at all, just sad.
Half a year has passed.
"You have to go home and see your parents one day, Xiaoying!" Her mistress said to her. "Here is a big piece of wheat bread, you can take it back to them; They will be very happy to see you. "
Ying-e puts on her best clothes and new shoes. She lifted her skirt and walked carefully. She wants to keep her feet clean and beautiful, which naturally can't blame her; But she came to a muddy land, and there was water and mud on the road, so she threw the bread into the mud, and she stepped on it to keep her shoes from getting muddy. However, when she stepped on the bread with one foot and the other foot just lifted, the bread also sank, sinking deeper and deeper, until it sank completely, leaving only a bubbling black mud pit.
That's how the story happened.
Where did Young-e go? She went to the swamp woman who made wine. The swamp woman is the witch's aunt. Witches are very famous. There are many songs and paintings about them, but little is known about swamp women: in summer, when the grass is foggy, it is swamp women who steam wine. Ying-e has just sunk into her brewery and can't stay long. Compared with the swamp woman's brewery, the mud pit is still a bright and superior room! All the jars smell strange and make people dizzy. The jars were arranged next to each other. If there is a small gap in the middle, you can't get through, because the sticky toad and the fat water snake are intertwined here. Xiaoying' e sank here. All these disgusting and dirty things were cold, and she trembled all over. Yes, her body is getting more and more stiff. She stepped firmly on the bread, which dragged her like an amber button sucking a grass.
The swamp woman was at home. The devil and the devil's great-grandmother visited the brewery that day. She is a very vicious old woman. She is always busy. If she hadn't brought her handicrafts here today, she wouldn't have gone out. She sews things like "keep walking" on people's shoes, so that people who wear these things will never be at peace. She can also embroider lies and weave all the nonsense that falls to the ground to harm and seduce people. Yes, she can sew, embroider and knit, this old great grandmother!
She saw Inge, then put on her glasses and looked at her again: "This is a spiritual girl!" " "She said," I request that she be given to me as a souvenir of this visit! She will be a very suitable statue to decorate my great-grandson's vestibule. " So she got her. Xiaoying' e came to hell like this. Generally speaking, people don't go straight to hell like this. If they are spiritual, they can make a detour to hell.
There is an endless front hall with a large space; Looking forward will make you dizzy, and looking back will make you dizzy. Here, a large group of dead people are waiting for the door of compassion to open; They have to wait a long time! These fat, sprawling spiders are spitting a thousand-year-old silk screen on their feet. These cobwebs were pulled into their flesh like fetters and locked them like copper chains. For this reason, their souls will never be at peace. The miser stood there. He forgot the key to the till, even though he knew it was in the lock of the till. Yes, it will be long and laborious to describe all the sufferings and disasters that everyone has suffered. Standing there like a statue, Ying-e experienced this kind of pain. Below, her feet are firmly stuck in that piece of bread.
"In order not to dirty your feet, you will end up like this!" She said to herself. "Look, they are all staring at me!" Yes, everyone looked at her; There are malicious thoughts in their eyes. They talked, but their mouths were silent. These people look terrible.
"It must be a pleasure to look at me!" Xiaoying' e thought, "My face is very beautiful and my clothes are very good!" Then she rolled her eyes and her neck was too hard to turn around. Too bad, how dirty the swamp woman's brewery has made her. She doesn't know. Her clothes seem to be infiltrated by a whole piece of mucus; There is a snake crawling in her hair, and the head of the snake falls on her neck. In every fold of her dress, a toad stuck its head out and croaked like a pug with asthma. I feel terrible. "But other people here are also scary!" She comforted herself like this.
Worst of all, she felt hungry to death at this moment; Can she bend down and break a piece of bread under her feet? No, her spine is stiff, her arms and hands are stiff, and her whole body is like a stone carving. Only her eyes on her face can turn, and she can turn a whole circle. So the eyes can see the back, and the scene is terrible, terrible. Then, the fly came; Flies are crawling around her eyes. She blinked, but the flies didn't fly away because they couldn't fly. Their wings were torn off and they became reptiles. Really painful and hungry; Yes, in the end, she felt that her insides had been eaten by herself, and her body was empty, which was terrible.
"If this continues, I can't stand it!" She said, but she must bear it. This situation continues.
At this time, a tear fell on her head, rolled over her face and chest, and fell on the bread, another drop, many drops. Who is crying for Xiaoying' e? Isn't there a mother on the ground? A mother's sad tears for her children always fall on her children, but these tears have not alleviated the pain. Tears are burning moxibustion, which will only aggravate the pain. And the unbearable hunger and the torture that she couldn't reach the piece of bread she was stepping on. Finally, she had a feeling that she had eaten all the internal organs, and she became a heavy empty tube, absorbing all the sounds. She clearly heard all the people on the ground talking about her, and all she heard was sharp reproach. Her mother really cried badly and was very sad, but then she said, "It was pride that got you into a fight and suffered this." . This is your misfortune, young-e! You broke your mother's heart! "
Her mother and all the people above knew her sin, that she was walking on the bread, and that she had disappeared; This is what a cowherd said. He saw it on the hillside.
"Young-e, you broke your mother's heart!" Mother said; "Yes, I knew it!"
"If only I hadn't been born!" After listening to this, my mother thought, "This is much better. What's the use of mom crying now? "
She heard her master, the decent people who treated her like their parents, say, "She is a guilty child!" " "They also said," she didn't cherish the gift of the heavenly father at all, but stepped on it. It is difficult for her to enter the door of sympathy. "
"They should have severely punished me!" Ying E thought. "If I have evil thoughts, I will drive them away."
She heard someone make up a song about her, "Arrogant girl, walking on bread, afraid of getting her shoes dirty." This song is sung all over the country.
"How much I want to listen to scold for this matter! How much I have to suffer! " Ying-e thought, "Others will be punished if they commit crimes! Yes, what a fine! Oh, how painful I am! "
As a result, her heart is stiffer than her body.
"Here with these people, can't be better! I don't want to get better either! Look at their eyes! "
So she was angry and malicious to everyone.
"Now they have something to say! -oh, how painful I am! "
She heard them tell their children about her, and the children called her blasphemous Inge-"She's disgusting!" They said, "That's too bad. She should be punished!" "
Children's words are always sharp and heartless.
One day, however, just as sadness and hunger were devouring her empty body, she heard someone mention her name to an innocent child, a little girl, and told her something. She felt that the little girl burst into tears when she heard about Ying-e, who was arrogant and vain.
"But will she never come up again?" The little girl asked. The answer is: "She will never come up again!"
"What if she asks for forgiveness and never does it again?"
"But she won't ask for forgiveness!" They said.
"I wish she would ask for forgiveness!" The little girl said with infinite sadness. "I am willing to give all my dolls, as long as she can come up again! How cruel this is to poor Xiaoying! "
These words flooded into Ying-e's heart and touched her at once. Someone said, "Poor Inge!" For the first time, she didn't mention her mistake at all. An innocent child cried and prayed for her, and she had a strange feeling about it She wants to cry herself, but she can't cry, which is also a kind of pain.
The years above have passed, but there is no change below. It is difficult for her to hear the voice above, and there are fewer and fewer words about her. Suddenly one day, she thought she heard a sigh: "Ying-e! Young-e! How painful you taught me! I told you! " This is her mother's last sigh.
She also heard her master calling her name, which was the softest word. The hostess said, "I really don't know if I can see you again, Ying-e! Who knows where to meet you! "
But Ying-e knew very well that her kind mistress would never reach this place where she was.
After a while, it was long and painful.
Suddenly, Ying-e heard her name mentioned again, and she saw two bright stars flashing overhead. Those are two gentle eyes blinking on the ground. It has been many years since the little girl cried "Poor Inge". The little girl has grown into an old woman, and now the heavenly father has called her. At this moment, all the suspense that made her unforgettable came to mind. She remembers how she cried for Ying-e when she was a child. How vividly that impression came to her mind at the last minute, and she shouted, "Father, my Lord, I don't know if I step on your gift as often as Ying 'e, but I don't know. Do I have arrogant thoughts in my mind, but you kindly didn't let me sink, but let me stay on earth! "Please don't let me go at this last moment!"
The old man's eyes closed, but his heart's eyes opened to the hidden things. Because Ying-e had been vividly in her mind, she saw her and how deeply she was trapped. Seeing this, the pious old woman cried. She stood in heaven, weeping for poor little Yin Ge like a child. Crying and her prayers echoed in the empty body, which contained imprisoned and painful hearts and was influenced by unexpected love from heaven; The angel of God is crying for her! Why did you give her this! The suffering soul also remembered what she had done on the ground and began to cry with trembling, which Ying-e had never cried before. Her body is full of remorse for herself. She thinks that the door of sympathy will never open for her. Just when she realized what she had done sadly, a light suddenly flashed in the abyss, which was stronger than the sunshine that melted the snowman made by the children in the yard. Then, it melted into water droplets much faster than the snow falling in the children's mouths, and Ying 'e's stiff and straight body melted into a puff of smoke. A bird flew to the earth and dodged like lightning. It is too afraid of everything around it, at the same time, it is very shy, ashamed of itself, and afraid of hearing the voices of all creatures. It hurriedly hid in a black hole on a collapsed earth wall. It curled up there, huddled up, trembling, unable to make a sound. It has no sound. It hid there for a long time before it gradually calmed down and looked around, feeling how comfortable it was in that place. Yes, it's very comfortable here, the air is fresh and mild, the moonlight is bright, and the Woods and jungles are fragrant; How comfortable it is where it lives. Its feathered clothes are so clean and beautiful. Really, everything created by the creator is full of love and beauty! All the thoughts in the bird's heart come out like a generator, but the bird can't. It wants to sing, like cuckoo and nightingale in spring. Father, he can hear the silent hymns of bugs and feel the harmony of birds' hearts, just like the hymns in David's chest are not accompanied by lyrics and tunes.
These silent songs have been brewing in the birds' minds for weeks. As soon as it flaps its wings to do good deeds, the songs in its heart come out to do good deeds. Holy Christmas has arrived. The farmer put a pole on the wall with a bunch of unfinished ears of wheat tied to it. Birds in the sky should also have a happy Christmas and enjoy it happily in this father's holiday.
On Christmas morning, the sun rises and shines on the ears of wheat. The twittering birds are all around the post with food. At this time, the wall also heard the voice of chirp, and the constantly emerging thoughts turned into voices. The faint chirp is a hymn of joy, the idea of doing good wakes up and the bird flies out of its hiding place. The kingdom of heaven certainly knows what kind of bird this is.
When the winter comes, the water has formed thick ice; Birds and animals in the forest can hardly find food. The bird flew to the country road, searched in the rut left by the sled, and occasionally found a grain of wheat, and found a crumb or two where people stopped by the roadside. It only eats a small part of it and calls other hungry sparrows here to find food. It flew into the city and looked around. Sometimes the hand of charity will tear some bread and put it by the window for the birds to eat. It only eats a little and gives the rest to other birds.
In winter, the crumbs that the birds give to everyone add up to almost as big as the piece of bread that Xiaoying E stepped on in order not to dirty her shoes. When she found the last piece and separated it, the bird's wings turned white and spread out greatly.
"There is a petrel flying across the channel at sea!" Children who see Bai Niao say; Now, it sometimes rushes to the sea, sometimes rises high in the dazzling sunshine, and can't see where it flies; People say it flies all the way to the sun.
These flies are the ones whose wings were torn off when Ying-e was a child.
(2) Proverbs 16, section 18: "Pride precedes corruption and arrogance precedes depravity."
David is the king of Judea and Israel. He is one of the most striking figures in the Old Testament. David is brave, talented and a generous king. David unified all branches of Israel into a kingdom. In the past, most people thought that many poems in the Bible were written by David.
