Bouquet of Narcissus

"Great gods, our beloved gods

Please come out from the temple of glory to see

Look at our walls, look at your devout followers

A king who lives in a towering and fortified castle

please open your eyes

Look at our castle, look at your people

Look at the piles of bones beneath the broad, rocky brick walls

Foundlings roaming the rivers of Troy

The limbs of the laborers have fallen apart, and the tears of the women have dried up

Look up, the bones turn to dust

Ancestors, don't be lonely, maybe someone will fall down in the next second

Tears with groans and powder, go to your date

Hades' feast is ready

Mortals, what are we waiting for?

Waiting for the heroes to come

still waiting for God's mercy

The Harvest Goddess has deserted us,

Spring will never come. "

……

The singing echoed over and over again inside and outside the city walls.

The city of Troy was built on a wide plain, surrounded by mountains and sea, with a typical inland landscape and climate.

The city of Troy is divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city, and there is a towering and strong city wall between the two parts.

The endless castle has begun to take shape, majestic and towering.

In the bard's description, the castle has an unparalleled design, with magnificent jewelry decorations, white jade carved lacquer, gold and bronze vessels covering the entire outline.The towering marble columns and terraces are covered with flowers, which look like the sky garden of God from the outside.

Narcissus rode a fine horse, left the palace, came to the outskirts, and heard singing.

"Are they hungry, clothed, homeless?" he asked.

He is followed by his childhood playmate, a talking parrot: "They are shamelessly lazy and need a push."

Narcissus' eyes widened in confusion as the pony got closer and closer to the laborers.He came to a section of the city wall that was being built, and the singing of the laborers was still ringing, loud and rhythmic.

"...the Harvest Goddess has deserted us, and the spring harvest has vanished like smoke."

Narcissus listened to the singing, and the wind lifted his veil, revealing his features.The beautiful face made the laborers lose their voices and forget the tune. They stared at him blankly, forgot the movements in their hands, and the songs. There was only that exquisite and beautiful face.

What a beautiful person, he is the plump grapes in the midsummer season, which are bright and dripping; the polished shells in the mountain streams, pure and translucent; the pines and cypresses of the snow-capped mountains in winter, tall and straight; It is as refreshing as it is, and it is as forgettable as the pot of pure lilies carefully served in the temple.

The veil covered his face again, and regretful sighs sounded from the crowd.

"Damn it! You're being lazy again!"

A roar broke the still silence of wonder.

At this time, the supervisors arrived—fifteen or six naked/bare upper body strong men, wearing wide hats, holding long whips in their hands, and began to scold the laborers for their work:

"Lazy and greedy coward, not quick to work.

You haven't settled down for today's lunch,

Your parents, wives and children still need your support,

The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled at home are waiting to be fed, and it is a shame to be lazy.

Stealing money and playing tricks is an insult to the king and a trample on life.

Are you all heroes, delusional to find the fabled golden apple,

But don't forget that it is exclusive to the brave.

Greedy lambs, throw away delusions and complaints

The sun is already high, don't dawdle, go move bricks and rubble to build our city wall.

You must know that it is the mercy of God and the generosity of the king that give you a chance to survive.

The harvest season has passed, and the surplus food in the family has bottomed out. If you don't work hard, how can you support your family?

Arise, you, to erect high stairs; you, and you to pour cement; you to build walls!

Get moving, men of Troy. "

The horn sounded - the repetitive labor began!

For the impenetrable city walls, for the castles and residences that have lived for generations, their group of hard-working workers started to work!

The scolding and urging of the overseers beat them.

The laborers came back to their senses from the beauty of the young man just now, and the young man had already disappeared when they turned their heads again.

"Oh." The beauty is always so easy to dissipate.

Everyone sighed in unison and started to work.

Narcissus came to the market trade leisurely on a small steed.

A little green parrot flew over his shoulder, chirping: "The cake over there is so sweet. The wine at the stall to the west is good. Oh, the roast mutton in this little guy's hand is golden, and it tastes better than ours. I want to eat it." , buy it for me quickly."

Narcissus turned a deaf ear, got off the pony and led it among the women, children and vendors coming and going.

Peasant women wearing headscarves carried baskets to pick out a few items. Most of their baskets contained fruits and shells, as well as bird eggs. They bartered and children ran around, laughing and playing.

Narcissus is very interested in all this, full of fireworks.He stayed in the forest for nearly 16 years. His parents left him as soon as he was born and entrusted him to the fairy in the forest.There are only brooks and nectar in the deep forest, and nymphs and elves accompany him.No smoke, no city, no human beings, he feels lonely and comfortable. Although he occasionally gets annoyed by the praises and confessions from the elves, he deeply loves everything in the deep forest.

However, a year ago, his mother suddenly appeared and took him out of the deep forest, and placed him in the castle of Troy.

He accepted all this silently, and lived in the palace with several princes of Troy. Because of his beauty, the people in the palace were very friendly to him.But he occasionally feels lonely and misses the beautiful stream and sweet honey in the deep forest, so he will go out of the palace to play occasionally.

The little green parrot kept encouraging him to buy a golden roasted leg of lamb. Narcissus couldn't help his chanting, and took out a beautiful shell to exchange for a leg of lamb.The little green parrot flapped its wings, ready to feast, but the leg of lamb was quickly snatched away.

The little green parrot got angry, flapped its wings and chased after it——Nacassis followed suit.

The thief ran fast and disappeared into the crowd like a gust of wind. Narcissus rode a pony and followed the little green parrot all the way to Mount Ada.The thief finally gave up running, but he had already gnawed all the way to the leg of lamb.

The little green parrot pecked at his face angrily, pecking the thief until his face was covered with blood.Narcissus felt that the thief's appearance was unattractive, so he stopped Xiaolu, "Stop, Xiaolu. That's enough." He got off his horse and said to the thief, "Please give me back my shell. "

The thief curled up on the ground and said pitifully, "Dear young master, I didn't take your shell. The leg of lamb is because I'm too hungry, please forgive me."

Narcissus was very confused, lifted his veil, pointed to his belly and said, "But I clearly saw that you hid my shell inside."

The thief's eyes flashed, as if he was amazed at his beauty, and his voice fell silent for a while.He took out the shell hidden under his belly, stretched out his hand, "Return it, give it back to you." After speaking, he jumped up and pushed Narcissus violently, ready to snatch the pony away——

But Narcissus remained motionless, his clothes were stained with black marks, his face was ugly, "I'm very angry." He said, then waved the thief to the ground.

The parrot croaked and started to perform its stunt again. The thief was pecked and had nowhere to escape, crying bitterly until he passed out on the ground.Narcissus stopped the parrot and said to the thief, "Let's go."

The thief was crying, Narcissus thought for a while and gave him two shells, "I can only give you two." The thief grabbed the shells and ran away.

Federal College of Vianas.

A group of girls chattered and chattered.

"I heard that Duke Darcy is coming to our college, my God, is this true?"

"Not only Duke Darcy, but also His Royal Highness Crown Prince Li Wei. I can't believe it. I am so happy to see these two best bachelors in the empire in my lifetime!"

"Yesterday you were still saying that the happiest thing is to be in the same academy as Captain Romeo, and the speed of this empathy is too fast."

"It's for our college's four-year graduate skills competition. After all, it's a grand event for the entire empire. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince's standard is a girl like Princess Juliet, an innocent and lively girl. What does Duke Darcy like? How about it?"

The girls all laughed, yelling at each other, fantasizing and dreaming: after all, Duke Darcy is the most famous golden bachelor in the empire. He is handsome, rich and distinguished, and he is the number one dream lover of all the girls in the empire.

A female classmate looked at Elizabeth, "Lisa, why don't you talk."

Elizabeth touched the mecha space button in her hand, and said casually: "Maybe he likes my model."

The girls burst into laughter, as if Elizabeth had told a very funny joke, and they were overjoyed, "Lisa, you are so funny."

Two years later, when the girls learned that Duke Darcy was engaged and his fiancée was Elizabeth Bennet, they were stunned!
