The story about the maple leaf?

Yellow maple leaf (touching story)

In that distant place, there is an unknown stream, which seems to have existed since Pangu began. The stream flows slowly, and the clear lake is like a mirror, witnessing everything that has been staged for thousands of years, but leaving no trace. If it is in autumn, when the red wind is falling, like a maple leaf rain, it will drown everything, and occasionally there will be some particularly yellow maple leaves. Behind the maple grove, a small house stands slightly lonely. In fact, it is not alone, maple, stream, and its owner.

The story happened under a maple tree.

Twenty years old is the golden age of life. The 20-year-old warrior has already made outstanding achievements and has been praised by the king many times. After the war, it returned to its picturesque hometown-a place with a large maple forest. It is another beautiful autumn. The maple leaves are falling. Now, the samurai is sitting on a stone by the stream. Looking at himself in the water, he couldn't help laughing: is this still me? The tempering of war has brought vicissitudes to his handsome face, but his eyes are still so clear ―― just like ten years ago. Ten years, it's been so long. He looked into the water again, but there was a little boy and a little girl in the water. ...

Ten years ago that autumn, the boy was ten years old and the girl was only eight years old. When the boy first saw the girl, she was sitting by the stream, burying her head in tears. It turned out that she had been running along the stream to chase a butterfly. The butterfly didn't catch up, but got lost. Looking at her big eyes with tears, the boy took her little hand without hesitation: "Don't be afraid, I am a samurai, I will protect you!" " Come on, I'll take you to see butterflies. "His hand is very warm, until the girl's heart. The girl followed him obediently. The boy found a yellow maple leaf, folded it in half with his little hand and threw it into the sky. Maple leaves hover in the air and then gently fall to the ground. He turned to the girl and smiled. "What? Is my butterfly beautiful? " The girl also smiled. She has a beautiful smile, like a fairy. The following month, they spent a happy time together. He took her to Fenglin, and they joined the butterfly together. He took her to the hut and told her his dream of becoming a samurai. He always holds her hand and won't let anyone bully her. When you are thirsty, go to the stream to drink some water; Tired, just lie down under the maple tree for a while. Gradually, girls get used to being protected by boys, and boys enjoy protecting girls. However, the girl will leave eventually. His parents finally found their daughter. She's going home. She cried before she left. He wiped away her tears and said to her, "Don't cry. I like the way you smile. It's beautiful. She smiled, just like when the boy first saw her. The boy picked up a yellow maple leaf and tore it in half. He gave half to the girl and said, "Come to me with this maple leaf in ten years' autumn. At that time, I will definitely become a soldier, and I will marry you as my bride. " The girl nodded desperately. Then she left. She didn't expect that the boy turned around and shed two tears. A question arose in the soldier's heart: Will she keep her promise? Maybe she's long forgotten. I realized my dream, but I am not happy. What have I been expecting? He took out half a maple leaf. She has always kept it well. Although the maple leaf has shrunk due to water loss, the tooth lines at its fracture are still clearly visible. Just as he was lost in thought, a gentle voice interrupted his reverie: "I'm sorry …" He looked up and saw a face of Zhang Xiuqing. Big eyes, high bun, long skirt, smiling innocently. Two people looked at each other. In fact, they recognized each other from the beginning ―― because they both held half a yellow maple leaf in their hands. It's just that when the reunion really came ten years later, they couldn't believe it at once. After a moment of concentration, he spoke first: "You really came." The woman also smiled: "You know, every day and night in the past ten years, I am looking forward to today's arrival." "I am not." The samurai felt a ripple in his heart. She continued: "I also preserved the yellow maple leaf very well." "I know you will wait for me. You are a samurai now, aren't you? I wish ... "She hesitated, not knowing how to speak. "Hope for what?" "Hope," she took the maple leaf from the samurai's hand and joined it with her own half. A miracle happened. Because hers has shrunk, and the two maple leaves are exactly the same! "You can take care of me all my life." He got up, held her in his arms, held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "You know I will, I love you." They got married under the maple tree. Streams, maples, huts and their patchwork of yellow maple leaves attended the wedding. The wedding is simple, but both the bride and groom have the most beautiful and sweet smiles in the world. They hugged under the maple tree. The scenery is as beautiful as oil painting.

After marriage, they lived a simple and happy life ―― just like ten years ago. Autumn has gone, and autumn has come again. The maple leaves are falling and turning red. The horn of war sounded again. As a samurai, he must go to the battlefield and say goodbye to his lover. Without saying anything, the woman rushed to make him a shirt overnight. She sewed too fast and accidentally cut her hand. The soldier held her hand and gently sucked her fingers. His hands are so warm and soft. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart and tears rolled down her eyes. He gently kissed away her tears, and his eyes were full of pity: "Don't cry, okay? I like the way you smile. It's beautiful. " She fought back tears and smiled bitterly, but she could never find that smile ten years ago. That morning, the samurai will go out. The woman picked a yellow maple leaf and put it in the soldier's chest pocket-it was specially sewn for him at that time. Yellow maple leaves stuck to his heart. She said, "This yellow maple leaf is my amulet for you. It is the last barrier to protect you. " He hugged her and said a painful farewell: "Dear, today next year, when the red maple leaves are in the sea, I will come back." You must wait for me under the maple tree. When you miss me, just tear the maple leaves in half and let them float to my side with the stream. " She nodded in despair.

How do they know that this farewell is a farewell?

He left, in fact, he knew that when he turned around, she was already in tears.

What a long year it has been! Finally, autumn has come. This is the last battle. The warrior thought, I will win, dear, and I will come back to see you. The drums are loud and the wind and sand are long. On the battlefield, swords and shadows, blood dyed the earth red. The samurai rushed at the enemy in despair. He waved his weapon and one enemy after another fell in front of him. There is only one thought in his heart: I want to live! However, outnumbered. Countless swords stabbed him. He tried to dodge, but a sword pierced his heart. He heard the sound of yellow maple leaves breaking. In this vast desert, he, fell. With his last strength, he pulled out the yellow maple leaf on his chest. The wind has also pierced, and his blood has already been stained. He put the maple leaf to his mouth and whispered, "Dear, forgive me. I love you. Forgive me for not protecting you forever. If there is a next life, I will pay you back twice. Please wait for me under that maple forest. "

His eyes dimmed, and suddenly a light appeared in the darkness ―― it was her, his lover. He smiles like a fairy, so beautiful. There are crystal tears in the corner of his eyes, and bright red blood and yellow sand are condensed. Before he could say goodbye to his lover, he compared his eyes.

The autumn wind swept the battlefield, and the yellow maple leaves dyed red with blood floated away. Let's go back to that maple forest. A woman sits on a stone by the stream, tears the maple leaves in half at her feet, and then puts them into the stream to let them float to her lover. Day after day. When she picked up the last yellow maple leaf under her feet, he still didn't come back. The villagers told her that he was dead. They thought he would cry, but she didn't. Instead, she smiled. She has a beautiful smile, more beautiful than a fairy. She ran along the stream with the yellow maple leaf. She keeps running and running, and she is tireless at all. I fell and got up at once. When I'm tired of running, I just stop for a minute and then get on the road again. The yellow maple leaf was wet with sweat from her palm, but he clung to it. At the end of the stream is a big river. She seems to see her lover waiting for her across the river. Without hesitation, she smiled and walked to the depths of the river. Let go of your hand gently, and the wet yellow maple leaves float away. Later, people can often see two yellow maple leaves floating in the air, just like two yellow butterflies.

I know, that's the soul of the samurai and his lover, they are everywhere!
