Chapter 344 Many things in fairy tales seem outrageous when viewed from today’s perspective



"Dad, isn't this cowherd a gangster?"

Ye Yueyue stared at Ye Ming with her big watery eyes.

Ye Ming was a little at a loss when he saw the look in his daughter's eyes.

"No, girl, why do you think the cowherd is a gangster?"

Ye Ming scratched his head and ultimately didn't know what to say. After all, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was a story he had heard when he was a child.

The textbook also says that this is a very good story, telling about the concept of love and so on.

"But, Dad..."

Ye Yueyue pointed at Yi Zhiyue who was playing games hard next to her.

"What would you do if someone took my clothes away from me while I was showering and watched me showering and you caught them when I grew up?"

The corners of Ye Ming's mouth twitched.

Why does my own daughter use metaphors like this?

but……

After Ye Ming put himself into the situation.

If this were to happen...

He would first ask the person what color sack he likes, then ask which sea he likes to be thrown into, and how many months he likes to be soaked in the sea water first...

Why?

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and finally knocked his head hard.

Holy crap! When I was little, I thought this was a touching love story, but now I think about it...

This cowherd is a complete pervert!

And if you think carefully about the story in the book, you will find that the cowherd has no money, no looks, and most importantly, no culture!

If this kind of person did such a thing nowadays, he would definitely be sued!

“Ah, this…”

Ye Ming is neither this nor that. His daughter's words make so much sense...

Moreover, if we look at the story of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" rationally, the Weaver Girl is a "love-brained" person.

They are the kind of people who disregard everything for love. In modern times, such people are capable of destroying an entire family.

In the entire story of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", it seems that only Queen Mother of the West is a normal person.

If I put myself in the perspective of the Queen Mother, the situation would be that my beautiful and capable daughter just went out for a trip and was then abducted to a remote area.

She was even forced to give birth to two children there.

This is almost like female college students going to remote areas to teach and being forced to give birth to children there.

Speaking of this, Ye Ming thought of a situation in his previous life.

When Liu Zinan graduated from university, he wanted to go to remote areas to teach local children.

Zhang Feng followed him because he was worried.

As a result, only one day passed and the next day they both ran back together.

The reason was that on the very night after they went to teach, their house was surrounded by a group of old bachelors from the teaching area.

It's not that Zhang Feng was very vigilant and didn't open the door. Maybe...

After that night, the two of them hurriedly ran back to their hometown from the teaching area.

Going to remote areas to teach is a good thing, but it is very dangerous for a girl to go to remote areas to teach alone.

The most dangerous thing in the world is not an animal, but the human heart. The evil in the human heart has always been, and will always be, immeasurable.

Before entrusting someone with a task, it is best to use the greatest possible evil to guess their actions and take measures to avoid them.

If the measures are useless and you are misunderstood, a sincere apology will be enough. But if you fail to avoid the problem and are left with indelible scars due to the evil of others, then that is when you will truly regret it.

This story has been around for thousands of years, and only now has Ye Ming discovered that the Queen Mother is the only truly rational person in the entire story.

When I was in elementary school, when the teacher was teaching the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, he said that the Queen Mother had a bad image, but now...

Ye Ming felt that the Queen Mother had finally been vindicated.

I used to think that the Queen Mother was a villain, but now I realize that it was because of my distorted values ​​that I misunderstood a good person.

But bedtime stories still need to be told.

Ye Ming thought for a long time, and then told the two stories "Houyi Shooting the Sun" and "Chang'e Flying to the Moon".

But after telling the story...

"Dad, I feel like Houyi sent Chang'e to the moon because he didn't like his wife..."

"ah?"

Ye Ming was stunned...

No, why are you finding fault with this story again?

Ye Yueyue stared at Ye Ming with her pink eyes.

"Dad, think about it, Hou Yi was able to shoot down the sun, right? So why couldn't he shoot down the moon?"

"Logically speaking, the sun and the moon should be at the same height, so it's okay to shoot the moon down."

"Besides, the moon at night only provides a little illumination. In ancient times, wouldn't it have been enough to light a torch or something for daily lighting? Besides, aren't people usually sleeping at night? Why would we need the moon? Don't we still have lamps now?"

Ye Yueyue's words made Ye Ming feel that he had read these fairy tales too one-sidedly in the past.

It seems that I have misunderstood the meaning of these stories before, right?

Did you feel that something was wrong before?

Ye Ming fell into confusion.

I always feel like telling stories is not very useful...

A story that he thought was very good when he was a child was picked up so directly that even he himself began to doubt his life.

Ye Ming originally didn't want to tell stories anymore. After all, he was criticized for telling a story, and he really had some psychological trauma from being criticized.
