Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine
Chapter 155: Storytelling
A few days ago, after the doctor looked at Yunling's legs, he said she could walk around, as long as she didn't use any force on her right leg. He also introduced her to a carpenter who could make her a chair with wheels so that she could sit on it and get some air outside.
After hearing his description, Yunling immediately thought of a wheelchair. It would indeed be a lot more convenient if she had that thing. She asked Yi Cheng to help find the carpenter, and he finished it for her within a few days.
The chair is certainly not comparable to a modern wheelchair, it is bulky and inflexible. Yunling sat on it and tried it, but she couldn't turn the wheel by herself. Every time she wanted to go out, Aunt Zhao, who took care of her, would carry her downstairs, help her sit on a chair, and then push her behind.
Later, she gradually adapted to walking on one leg, so she stopped letting Aunt Zhao carry her and went up and down the stairs holding on to the handrail. Aunt Zhao would feel uneasy at this time and would protect her from her side, fearing that she would fall.
Yunling also found someone who could talk to her at the inn, and there was more than one person.
This morning, after breakfast, she came to the backyard as usual.
She heard the sound of a wheelchair in the distance, and a group of children ran towards her.
"Sister Yunling is here..."
"Sister Yunling..."
Aunt Zhao, who was pushing the wheelchair, reminded nervously: "Xiaocao, how many times have I told you not to run, what if I bump into my sister?"
The children were very obedient and stopped running immediately.
"Sister Yunling, what story are you telling us today?" Xiaocao asked innocently, shaking the horns on her head.
Xiaocao is Aunt Zhao's little daughter, she is six years old this year. Since the family had no time to take care of her, Aunt Zhao had to take her with her every time she came and let her play in the backyard with the children who were also brought by her parents.
Yunling ran into these children when she came out in a wheelchair on the first day. The children were having fun that day and forgot the adults' instructions and ran to the front yard.
Yi Cheng was afraid that they would disturb her, so he scolded her.
The eldest children were six or seven years old, and the youngest ones were only three or four years old. They were frightened to tears after being scolded by Yi Cheng.
Yunling stopped Yi Cheng, and in order to appease the frightened children, she told them the story of "Sima Guang smashed the vat".
The child quickly stopped crying and listened with rapt attention.
Later, when Yunling met them when she came out, she would tell them a short story at their request.
As time passed, a tacit understanding was formed between them. Every day at this time, the children would be here waiting for her.
Because they come with their families, the number of children who come every day is not fixed. Six came today, sitting in the shade at the base of the wall, surrounding Yunling.
Aunt Zhao will do some other things at this time, such as washing Yunling's clothes, drying the quilt and so on.
Looking at the little faces of the children who were eager for knowledge, Yunling said warmly: "How about telling you a story about 'Chang'e Flying to the Moon' today?"
"Okay-" the children responded obediently.
"Is it the fairy who lives on the moon?" seven-year-old Huzi asked.
Yunling nodded, "Yes, have you heard this story?"
"No, I just heard from my mother that there is a very beautiful fairy living on the moon, and she also has a rabbit."
"Then do you want to know how this fairy got to the moon?"
"think."
"Then we begin."
Yunling narrated this long-standing mythical story, "In ancient times, a mysterious creature suddenly appeared in the sky.
Ten suns made the earth smoke..."
While she was telling stories to the children, she didn't know that Cui Qiyan and the others had already arrived at the inn.
Their sudden appearance surprised Yi Cheng and he quickly came over to salute, "Master Cui, you are here."
Meng Dong couldn't wait, already carrying her huge but shrinking but still considerable burden upstairs.
She forgot to ask which room Yunling was in, so she could only shout as she walked: "Yunling, I'm here!"
There were other people checking in at the inn, and Yi Cheng was so frightened that he quickly reached out to say hello, "Girl, please stop shouting, Miss Yunling is not here."
"What do you mean not here? Where is she?" Cui Qiyan asked with his eyes fixed.
After hearing this, Meng Dong ran down again and said anxiously: "Yunling's leg is still injured. Where can she go if she is not here? Did something happen to her?"
The three of them looked at Yi Cheng with horrifying eyes.
Yi Cheng hurriedly explained, but he couldn't explain clearly when he was nervous, "It's not that I'm not here, it's that..."
Meng Dong was stunned by him, "Oh, am I here or not? I'm really worried."
"Just tell her where she is." Cui Qiyan said solemnly.
"In the backyard..."
Before Yi Cheng finished speaking, the three of them turned around and walked towards the backyard at the same time. Yi Cheng quickly followed.
The three of them heard a familiar voice at the corner of the backyard, softer than usual, and they couldn't help but slow down their steps. Just listen to what she said: "Pang Meng broke into Hou Yi's house with a sword in his hand and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir. Chang'e didn't want such a person to take the elixir and harm more people. So she took out the elixir and Swallowed it in one gulp.”
"what--"
children's exclamations
The three of them stopped.
Meng Dong, who was following Cui Qiyan, asked Ji Bai quietly, "Why are there still children?"
Ji Bai spread his hands and said that he didn't know what the situation was.
The story over there continues, "Chang'e took the fairy medicine and suddenly flew up. She flew out of the window, flying higher and higher, until she flew towards the moon."
"Chang'e flies away, what will Hou Yi do?" a little girl asked anxiously.
"Hou Yi came back from his trip and couldn't find Chang'e. He rushed out anxiously and saw a bright moon in the sky. On the round moon, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and a jade rabbit was jumping around under the tree. His wife was standing next to him. The moon stood beside a laurel tree and stared at him affectionately. He chased the moon, but he couldn't catch it."
Then there was a burst of lamentation from the children, and a childish voice asked, "Sister Yunling, what happened next?"
"Later, one lived in the sky and the other lived on the earth. They missed each other but could not see each other. The villagers missed the kind-hearted Chang'e, so they placed her favorite food in the yard and blessed her from a distance. After that, every year August [-]th has become the Mid-Autumn Festival when people look forward to reunion."
"So this is how the Mid-Autumn Festival comes about."
"Chang'e and Houyi are so pitiful——"
When Cui Qiyan heard this, he took a few steps forward. When he turned around, he saw a group of children sitting on the floor, listening to the story seriously with their heads raised.
Among the children, Yunling was sitting on a chair, her face as quiet as jade, and her every smile was so moving.
Meng Dong was so excited when he saw Yunling that he was about to go over.
Ji Bai quickly grabbed her and shook his head at her.
Yunling and the children didn't notice anyone coming, they were still immersed in the story just now
in.
