The most resentful woman in the world

 


The most resentful woman in the world


Agudengba told his friend Azhuo the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, and then talked about the breakdown of Chang'e and Hou Yi's marriage.

After Chang'e married Hou Yi, she originally wanted to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth with him. Unexpectedly, Hou Yi actually shot nine suns in the name of serving the people. Those were the nine sons of the Emperor of Heaven. As a result, Hou Yi lost the favor of the Emperor of Heaven and was demoted to the human world. He also drove her out of the Heavenly Palace. Chang'e spread her unhappiness on Hou Yi every day.

Hou Yi knew that Chang'e had never suffered any grievances since she was a child, but now that she was being implicated by him and was demoted from the heavenly palace, he felt a little sorry for her. No matter how much Chang'e complained, he didn't care and tried to comfort her as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, Chang'e's temper became worse and worse, and she scolded Hou Yi: "The Emperor of Heaven thinks highly of you and makes you a Heavenly Official. You don't understand the Emperor of Heaven's wishes. You try your best and are demoted from Heaven. Even I will suffer with you!"

Hou Yi carefully explained to her: "It's not that I mean to show off, it's actually them who are hurting the people. How can I see people suffering and ignore it? Besides..." Before Hou Yi could say anything else, Chang'e cried again. He shouted again and started to have a big quarrel with Hou Yi.

Hou Yi was demoted after doing harm to the people, and was already very melancholy. Chang'e complained about him every day, and she felt extremely depressed. Fortunately, he was open-minded and didn't want to sit around at home, so he put on his bow, mounted his horse, and went hunting in the mountains and forests every day. He often temporarily forgets his unhappiness by fighting with wild animals.

But Chang'e sat at home and cried and lost her temper every day. Hou Yi came back to comfort her, but she just lost her temper and complained about her grievances. Hou Yi said: "Although our current life is not as good as the Heavenly Palace, it is not bad. You see, in order to take care of us, the people give us vegetables and fruits that they are reluctant to eat."

Chang'e frowned and said: "What's the use of the people being nice to us? If we lose the favor of the Emperor of Heaven and can never return to the Heavenly Palace, isn't it all over?"

"There is both suffering and happiness here. Isn't it good to be with the people?"

"What a good thing! In the human world, you will grow old in a few years. People have lost their youth and beauty. What's the point?"

"We can do something to help the people here, which is better than sitting idle in the palace. What's so scary about being old!"

"You're not afraid, I'm still afraid! If you have the ability, just think of a way to live forever!"

In this way, Chang'e was like a resentful woman, nagging in Hou Yi's ears every day, and Hou Yi was really tired of listening to her.

That day, when Hou Yi came back from hunting, Chang'e babbled for a while and said: "I remembered it. When I was in the Heavenly Palace, I heard that the Queen Mother of the West would prepare the elixir of longevity. Please go and beg her to get some doses."

"Where is the Queen Mother of the West?" Hou Yi asked absently.

"In Kunlun Mountain, even though it's far away, it won't take much trouble for you to make a trip for this matter."

"Well, since the Queen Mother of the West has such elixir, I will get some for you to eat tomorrow."

Chang'e was happy. On this day, apart from repeatedly urging Hou Yi to leave early, she said no other complaints.

Kunlun Mountain is a large mountain in the west. According to legend, it was the imperial capital of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, and the Queen Mother of the West also lived here. There is deep weak water surrounding Kunlun Mountain. The weak water is so deep that even a feather dropped into the water will sink to the bottom, and a manned ship cannot float on the water. There are volcanoes surrounding Weishui, and the fire on the volcano never stops day and night. No matter what it is, when it comes into contact with this fire, it will immediately turn into ashes. Although the Queen Mother of the West has the elixir of immortality, because ordinary people cannot get in, no one has ever obtained this medicine. The scenery of Kunlun Mountain is beautiful, the climate is suitable, and it is warm as spring all year round. The dwarf green trees on the mountain are evergreen all year round, and various bright flowers bloom all over the mountain. The birds in the forest are singing very sweetly.

Hou Yi came to the foot of the mountain, relied on his supernatural power and unyielding will, overcame many difficulties, and finally passed the siege of water and fire, climbed to the top of the mountain, entered the palace gate of the Queen Mother of the West, and met the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West is gorgeously dressed and has three bluebirds flying around. The Queen Mother of the West had long heard that Hou Yi had done great harm to the world. She admired his bravery and dedication and expressed sympathy for his misfortune. When she learned of Hou Yi's intention, she took out a packet of medicine and said: " This medicine is made from the fruit picked from the immortal tree and refined. The immortal tree blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and matures only after three thousand years. This fruit is very rare, and this medicine is also very small. Take it Go, if you eat it alone, you can ascend to heaven. If two people eat it together, although they cannot ascend to heaven, they can both live forever."

Hou Yi asked for the elixir of immortality and went home happily.

Agudengba sang a song called "The Unparalleled Resentful Woman" that left Adhuo speechless:

 

The world regards Chang'e as a fairy.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, incense is burned and worshiped.

Chang'e is the beloved niece of the Emperor of Heaven.

She has been transformed since she was an innocent girl.

She had a crush on Hou Yi and won everyone's love.

Hou Yi's lover Luo Shen was ignored.

Relying on the authority and shamelessness of the Emperor of Heaven,

Chang'e finally married Hou Yi.

From first love to being obsessed with luxury after marriage,

Enjoying the splendor of heaven is still not enough.

Chang'e chatters all day long,

There is no shortage of bad temper in women.

I still worry about wearing heavy makeup every day,

Worried that my beauty will wither.

Chang'e asked Hou Yi to find medicine for this.

Go to Kunlun to get the elixir of immortality.

 

Chang'e has become the most resentful woman in the world,

After all, this is because of the strength of men.

Or is it helplessness towards this society?

Although Chang'e has appearance and figure,

Although I have heavenly family and background,

But her extravagant hopes were too much and too painful.

She seemed to have fallen into a jar of honey locusts,

But many women are not dedicated,

Crystal love has been shattered.

Maybe he is too eager to enjoy personal gain,

She had no passion or love for Hou Yi,

A resentful woman never feels guilty.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
