[C1] Yao’s husband felt he was a failure. After doing business for many years, and now he is an old man, but my family is very poor. He admired the affluence of other businessmen. When a reward was offered in the city, he decided to join the team to kill the giant. What if it works? Yao was afraid that her husband would be killed by the giant and tried to stop him.
Husband was angry: “Can you give me a lot of money if I stay?” Then he turned and left.
“If! “ Yao said aloud, “If I can give you 1,000 gold coins before you leave, can you not go?”
Her husband stopped, didn’t look back, and left.
Sad Yao came to the farm, released her magic, scattered on the ground grow a few blue flowers. She hasn’t been able to absorb Antares’ energy for a while, and Yao is much weaker than before. Yao saw a cloud of golden smoke among the blue flowers. She looked closer and saw that it was a treasure chest. Open the box, the golden smoke gathered together, this is the treasure box guardian spirit. The guardian spirit wants Yao to help her find her treasure in the forest, and will provide 1000 gold coins as a reward.
When Yao and guardian spirit seeking in the forest, guardian spirit to Yao said her story.
(Every time a treasure is found, images of a story fragment of the guardian spirit’s past appears in the scene. There are 5 treasures.)
1. The guardian spirit’s name is Q.
The guardian spirits travel around the world collecting treasures.
In Q’s journey, met a timid woodcutter, soon they fell in love. Considering that the Woodcutter was afraid of many non-human creatures, Q did not tell him she is a guardian spirit. (Treasure 1).
2. Q and the woodcutter lived a happy life. Although they were not rich, they were always peaceful. Sometimes the woodcutter would quietly save some money and buy Q a small gift.(Treasure 2)
3.One day, a traveler came and asked to spend the night at the home of Q and the woodcutter. They received the traveler with great generosity. The traveler is also a guardian spirit, just like Q. The traveler said that he had collected many valuable treasures in his treasure chest. When the woodcutter went to make tea, the traveler asked Q:Don’t we treasure chest guardian spirits travel all the time? Why do you stay here?
Q said because of love. Q asks the traveler not to tell the woodcutter the truth that she is a guardian spirit. Traveler agreed and decided to leave at sunrise . (Treasure 3)
4.At night, Q heard the door open. She saw the woodcutter and the traveler going out together. Q followed them quietly to a lake deep in the forest. Woodcutter raised his axe and killed the traveler, scattering his treasures all over the ground. Q ran home in panic, and for several days the woodcutter did not return. (Treasure 4)
5.Ten days later, woodcutter went home and took Q to a beautiful big house by the river. Q knew that the house had been bought for the treasures of the traveler.
Q asked woodcutter, “Where have you been these days?
Woodcutter said, the traveler offered him a job, and in a few days earned a large sum of money, so he bought the house.
Q: How much money did you make?
Woodman: Almost a thousand gold pieces.
Q opened her treasure chest. There were five small boxes in it. She asked woodcutter to open the first box. The woodcutter opened the box and found 1000 gold pieces in it.
Woodcutter was surprised. Q frankly, she is just like the traveler, the guardian spirit of the treasure chest.
Then Q threw the box containing 1,000 gold pieces into the river.
Q asked the woodcutter to open the second box. Inside was a pair of earrings worth several hundred gold COINS. Without hesitation, Q threw the box into the river again.
The third and fourth contained jade and pearls worth thousands of gold pieces, and the fifth unopened box. She threw them all, one by one, into the river and washed them away.(Treasure 5)
What’s in the fifth box? Asked Yao
Q: The woodcutter gave me a small cup
Yao looked at the ruins in front of her —- It used to be a luxurious house. She tried to use her magic to restore the place, but she was too weak to do it. Q paid Yao 1000 gold pieces.
At this time, fireworks in the sky, Yao recognized her husband’s team was about to leave the signal. She tried to remove the trees and find the shortest way through the forest to the cliff.
On the cliff, Yao saw people with torches had not left yet. Yao saw her husband and called his name. But the husband in the noisy crowd did not hear. As the team moved on, Yao threw her gold coins over the cliff.
Just then, suddenly, a huge beam of light shot into the sky in the distance.
