Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

The human settlement was extremely lively early this morning.

It's all because the beautiful and kind goddess in their minds—Master Pandora is going to visit their village again.

"Have you heard? Lord Pandora is going to teach us a new survival skill today."

"I've known it for a long time. I'm really looking forward to it. The rattan basket that the goddess taught us to weave is really useful. Now I have piled up a dozen rattan baskets with different things in my house."

"I don't know what Lord Pandora will teach us today?"

"If you want me to say, I don't care about these things. I am satisfied just to see the beauty of the goddess."

"Yeah, that one is really beautiful..."

……

Faced with the gang of big brothers who regarded her as a zoo orangutan again, Pan Duoduo was already very calm.She still remembers being stared at by them for the first time, and she still felt quite uncomfortable.

Epimetheus still followed today. He brought all the tools needed and gathered the people to an open space in the middle of the village.

Now, everyone stretched out their heads to look at Pan Duoduo and the several big bags piled up at her feet, a pile of jars, clay pots, etc., full of curiosity in their hearts.

"I will call everyone here today to teach you how to make soap." Pan Duoduo said loudly, "You may be curious about what soap is - I have a ready-made piece here, you can pass it around look."

After that, Pan Duoduo bent down and took out a small pottery dish from a pile of things, on which was a light yellow cube-shaped object.She took the pottery dish and walked up to the person standing on the far left, and handed the pottery dish to him.

"Here, you can take a good look at it and pass it on to others."

The beautiful girl was very close, and the overly bright color approached her eyes, making the human named Tira unconsciously hold her breath.He couldn't recover, until the strand of blond hair left his field of vision, and he realized that there was a strange object in his hand that he had never seen before.

Tira forced herself to divert her attention, pressed down the eyes that wanted to chase the figure of the goddess, and stuck her eyes firmly on the light yellow square.

...what did the goddess call it?Soap?

The human beings around Tira all leaned over their heads curiously, staring at the ordinary little cube. Some people couldn't help poking it with their hands, and found that the small cube was soft and a little sticky, but it felt good.Some people came closer and smelled it, and they only felt a faint fragrance of grass and trees on the small square.

Is this something to eat?

Seeing someone wanting to lick that piece of soap, Pan Duoduo couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly stopped him, "Soap is not edible, its function is to clean the dirt."

Everyone looked at Pan Duoduo with a confused look, cleaning the dirt?

Pan Duoduo nodded affirmatively, "That's right, clean the dirt. You may be used to washing your body, clothes, and tableware with just water, but it's hard to wash off greasy things with just water. With soap, We can get over that and get things cleaner."

This kind of description didn't seem to cause much reaction, Pan Duoduo was helpless, feeling like a supermarket salesman or a delivery anchor, trying his best for performance.

She thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe everyone still doesn't understand it, so let's try it directly."

Pan Duoduo looked around the crowd, and found that everyone's hands didn't look very clean.She simply called over the person who was the first to get the soap just now, and asked him to soak his hands with clean water, and then rub his hands with soap.

Tira moved mechanically step by step under the guidance of the goddess. He never thought that he would become the lucky one chosen by the goddess.Now the goddess was standing not far from him, the faint fragrance from her body made his mind almost blank, and he didn't notice that the soft soap under his hands had been deformed by him.

It wasn't until there was a burst of exclamation from around that Tira's somewhat distracted eyes refocused.In the field of vision, his hands were wrapped in white bubbles, and in the palm of his hand was a ball of yellow paste that had been kneaded and lost its shape.

Tira's heart skipped a beat, and he was very embarrassed. He didn't think that he would unknowingly break something belonging to the goddess.His cheeks were flushed, and he stammered, "Master Goddess... I seem to have broken it..."

Pan Duoduo had noticed a long time ago that the strength of this brother's use of soap seemed to have a grudge against him.However, the pieces of soap she brought had only congealed for one night, and their texture was more like a ball of elastic ointment. It is normal for them to be deformed, so she comforted, "It's okay, the soap on your hands is just a semi-finished product. , after a period of time, it will become hard and not easy to deform."

Not getting the punishment and condemnation she imagined, Tira couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.He just felt that the goddess in front of him was so good, her appearance and inner being were so beautiful that it would make living beings feel ashamed.

On the other side, the crowd of onlookers were discussing and marveling at the changes in the small pale yellow paste in front of them.

"What is that? It turns out that this small square will undergo such changes!"

"It's amazing, is this the magic of God?"

Even more surprising is yet to come.

When the goddess in their hearts asked the man to wash off the foam on his hands, the complexion of his hands became whiter, and the dirt between his fingers was completely washed away, making him look much refreshed.

"Wow!"

"It's so clean!"

"I remembered my dirty-looking animal skin. Lord Pandora seemed to say just now that it can still be used to wash animal skins?"

"This is really great, the goddess really wants to teach us how to make it?"

"Mrs. Goddess is so kind. She is really a kind and beautiful god... Whatever she wants us to do in the future, I will be the first to follow in her footsteps."

……

Pan Duoduo finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing people's enthusiastic reactions.Sure enough, facts speak louder than words, and actions speak louder than words... Feeling the invisible power from faith pouring into her body little by little, she felt a little satisfied.

Look, when the wages come, the labor always bears fruit, doesn't it?

With examples ahead, people are more active than ever in learning how to make soap.So for the next whole day, the soap-making teaching was in full swing in the open space in the center of the human settlement.

What Pan Duoduo taught humans was the method she adjusted and tested many times last night.She taught people step by step how to burn plant ash, how to boil lye, how to filter and extract the light yellow lye on the surface, and how to refine oil...

Although the method is simple, some steps take quite some time, so it was not until evening that all the soap paste was put into containers of various shapes.

"Then let them stand for a few days, and you can get a relatively hard soap that is not easy to deform. The kind of soap I brought today is still relatively short and easy to deform, so everyone should wait patiently for a few days before removing them from the soap. Take it out of the mold." Before leaving the human settlement, Pan Duoduo repeated his instructions in detail.

In fact, she didn't have to worry at all, people obeyed her words from the bottom of their hearts.They have already begun to look forward to using the new things that the goddess led them to make in a few days.

In the farewell of the people, Pan Duoduo and Epimetheus left the village.The human named Tira stared at the back of the goddess in his heart, and was deeply fascinated by it.

...It would be great if I could see this one more often.He would like to be her servant, kneel at her feet, and kiss her skirt.

However, the next moment, a sudden cold chill made Tira tremble all over.He looked over subconsciously, and saw that the male god who had been silently accompanying the goddess was looking at him with dark eyes.

It was the look of a ferocious beast looking at the one who coveted his treasure, and if he moved an inch, he would crush him.

Without hesitation.

Tira looked away tremblingly under those gazes.

That one has always been gentle and kind...so approachable that sometimes they forget his nature as a god...

Now he showed his true self for another.

Probably, it's because he really cares about the other party...

The sunset glow covered the sky, dyeing the light green grass slope with a touch of golden yellow.A blond couple strolls through the dusk, their fingers intertwined.

"Duoduo, I really hate the way those guys look at you," Shenzi suddenly said unabashedly what he was thinking, with a confused expression, "I really want to hide you so that they don't see you." .”

Pan Duoduo: ...

Feel cold sweat streaming down.What kind of black declaration is this?Are you a little boy?Don't learn to be bad!

She stopped and looked at him seriously, "I didn't pay attention to any of them at all, because my eyes will only stay for you."

Shenzi was startled, and turned his head with reddish ear tips.

"Besides, other people can just look at it, you are the only one who can touch and hug me, you can have fun!" The girl snorted angrily.

Epimetheus curled up his lips and wrapped the girl's hand tighter.

"So, can I kiss you now?" he asked.

The girl stretched out a finger, and the cool fingertips touched his lips.He lowered his eyes and looked at it, wanting to draw it closer, wantonly pecking and kissing that patch of pale pink.

"Wait a minute, I have a gift I want to give you."

The gentle words made the blond-haired god widen his jewel-like pupils in surprise. He was stunned for a moment, and then he stared eagerly at his own treasure, watching her carefully take out two thin pendants from the hem of her clothes.

Under the thin silver chain, there are two rings, one large and one small.There is no pattern or decoration on the plain silver ring, only a layer of rose color as pale as dusk looms on the surface.

Pan Duoduo was a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say at this time. Under Shenzi's increasingly hot gaze, she turned her eyes and blushed and said, "This is the first time I forged a work... I hope It could be a little memorable...because we first met at dusk...so..."

The next moment, the girl felt a tightness around her waist, and her feet were lifted off the ground, and then, a hot feeling came from her lips.

It's a shame that a boyfriend wants to kiss at every turn... She sighed in her heart, closed her eyes and began to immerse herself in this loving kiss.

After a long time, Shenzi panted slightly and asked the girl in his arms in a hoarse voice, "Duoduo, why do you want to give a ring?"

"Because in my heart, in... where it belongs to me, it means that I want to tie you down for the rest of my life. Couple rings only belong to partners who keep vows together."

Pan Duoduo looked at the pair of deep emerald-like eyes in front of her, telling her unrevealed side.

They don't reveal each other.But she wanted him to know, and wanted him to finally understand everything about herself one day.
