Don’t be naive when choosing friends

 

Summer should be full of excitement, right? When you look at the "thousands of pink flowers hanging low on the branches", you may be intoxicated by them, which is very sweet.

At this time, a group of white swans were walking through the flowers. The scenery was indeed beautiful. When the white swan approached Qingshui River, she could already see the lotus flowers there.

Allen looked at the blooming lotus and remembered the stories from his childhood. She remembered that her father once told her about the coolness and beauty of lotus flowers. When her father complained about the hot summer heat, he would always tell her, "A calm mind will naturally cool down." And why is the mind calm? A calm mind means seeking nothing, seeking nothing means thinking nothing, thinking nothing means indifference, and indifference means simplicity. Therefore, the lotus spirit, with its "quiet" characteristics, has become one of the flowers that leads summer.

But at this time, Allen had no interest in admiring flowers. Because when she was taking photos of summer lotus flowers and the group of white swans, she met the witty Agudemba.

Agudemba told Allen: These white swans are being driven towards the slaughterhouse by the executioner, the owner of the slaughterhouse. Those ignorant white swans do not understand that they are walking towards death.

There are some special flowers blooming by the river not far away. Flowers are particularly beautiful. The red petals on the flower stem are located at the top of the flower stem, and the petals are oblanceolate. Its stamens are very long, and because of the curled petals, it looks like a blood-red dress from a distance. And because there are often three or four flowers gathered together, it looks like a small umbrella. There are a few more gorgeous decorations.

Allen understood that this was Hibiscus flower. When she was a child, she heard her mother say: "The flowers on the other side bloom on the other side. Only the flowers are visible, but no leaves. They are all in the same place." By the way, it is the flower of the other side. Because Bianhua can only bloom bright flowers when all its leaves have withered.

My mother once said that it is said that the flower of the other side only blooms in Huangquan. It is generally believed that it is a flower of invitation that only blooms on the other side of the Santu River and the Forgotten River in the underworld. Flowers on the other side are as bright and red as blood. They pave the road to hell. They have flowers but no leaves. They are the only flowers in the underworld. There are large numbers of these flowers blooming on Huangquan Road. From a distance, they look like a carpet paved with blood. They are also the only scenery and color on this long Huangquan Road. When the soul crosses the River of Forgetfulness, it forgets all that happened in its lifetime. Everything in the past is left on the other side. The deceased leads to the hell of the underworld following the guidance of this flower.

The story about Hibiscus Flower suddenly made Allen feel a little scared. Because the group of white swans in front of us are being sent to death by the executioner, the owner of the slaughterhouse.

When the executioner, the owner of the slaughterhouse who was escorting the white swan, was not paying attention, Agudengba secretly told the old swan in goose language: This time there is a mad cow disease plague in the global village, and those diners have no beef to eat, so they want to eat swan meat. Agudemba said: The final destination of you white swans is actually the slaughterhouse, and you will soon become delicacies on the human table.

The old swan asked Agudemba: "Are we swans just going to the slaughterhouse to be killed?"

Agudengba said: "Swans are the best flying champions in the world. Your flight height can reach 9 kilometers. The Chinese call you Hongshun. Human beings envy your ambition of Hongshun, so you are the leading old swan. You You should tell your companions how to fight for freedom and protect their right to life."

The old swan understood, he stretched his neck and screamed. He suddenly flapped his wings vigorously, and all the swans turned their attention to the old swan. The old swan jumped up and flew into the sky. In an instant, all the swans flapped their wings and flew into the blue sky. The swans lined up in a line in the sky, and the old swan was the leader.

Alan Agudenba looked at the group of flying swans and said to Alan: Only by spreading your wings can you fly to the free world, and the right to survive should be your own choice.

Allen bid farewell to Agudumba, and she also decided to choose her own life.

Agudengba rode his donkey, looked at Allen and the white swans flying away into the sky, and sang the snowy Buddhist song "Song of Choosing Friends":

 

Stand up in respect to help your friends,

Good friends should go on a blind date.

Entrusted to virtue,

No matter rich or poor.

A gentleman is as light as water,

Love is true over time.

 

A tyrant is a villain;

Powerful ministers are accomplices.

The mouth of an adulterer is like honey;

In an instant, he became an enemy.

Understand sin and evil,

Don’t be naive when choosing friends.
