The Two Sky Poems
Moonlight
The two rotting corpses left Mingyue slashed. Unknowingly her tears slowly fell down her cheeks.
He hoped that his uncle would come home after working all day, but it turned out that he did not come and when he met him, there was only his corpse hanging just like that.
Mingyue was furious and hated. He felt that he had stood in the darkness, not a beautiful and beautiful forest, but an endless darkness.
Seeing him like this, he remembered 10 days earlier. At that time, he was standing near the cottage looking at the Dandelion flowers that were starting to bloom and swaying in the wind. They are thriving this year and are very long.
He sat looking at her closely, smelling her and plucking her. With a smile he then walked up to Chao Hao who was sitting opening the Scroll. He was working to support her. The old man always worked and never rested for a moment, even when he was asleep, his thoughts about work were still running.
Mingyue who saw him understood and went back to walk in the meadow filled with Dandelion flowers.
Not long after, the wind blew and the white petals of the Dandelion flew to the sky. Seeing that he remembered when he first came to this place in a cold state and his clothes were destroyed.
He asked as he looked at the expanse of Dandelion flowers. “Uncle Chao, how far will these flower petals fly?”
“I don't know. I heard they can fly 10km. It will be very far again when the wind blows strong.”
“It was very far, exceeding my estimate. They are one of the lucky plants. When I first saw it, I felt like this flower was human. Do not ask why uncle, because this flower blooms in the morning and withers at night, like a human, exactly the same.”
Then Mingyue looked at the cottage that was nearby. “Uncle, is this your home?”
“True, we have arrived. Sorry if uncle could not provide a more comfortable home.”
“This is beyond my will. In that village even a house like this I never expected, if there was a roof made of straw alone, already made Ming happy, let alone with a house like this. Uncle Chao very good.”
It was one of those memories he remembered and will always remember. Chao Hao would never be vaporized. He was his savior from a dirty village and who never cared about him. He is a new friend and family member who has been sent down to protect him from the cold of the night and the humidity of the rain, as well as the summer drought.
Mingyue then looked at Chao Hao back. Finally the man stopped reading. Mingyue then plucked another Dandelion flower. He rushed up to her and held out a single Dandelion flower. “Uncle, we will start a new life for this flower.”
Chao Hao took it. “Life..”.
Mingyue then sat down beside him. They then looked at each other and blew the Dandelion flower. However, before they blew it, the petals flew in the wind. The petals flew and got higher, then no longer visible.
“The new life will grow somewhere, but unfortunately it is not thanks to us.”
They looked at him and smiled.

Mingyue's tears were getting louder. He then rubbed his face. With a strong determination, he spoke to the two corpses that were in front of him. “Uncle, I will bring the head that has killed you.”
After that, Mingyue buried the two corpses, then looked at him and clenched her hands then left with a pair of vengeful eyes.
The petals of the Dandelion flower began to fly around it. Out of nowhere. The petals then flew and danced in the sky, as in the wind. They are one by one divorced. Out of ten, eight, five, three, two and finally one. They move up and down in the sky. Then it finally landed on Mingyue's hands. He had returned to Chao Hao's house which was above the hills.
The night had covered the horizon and the flowers of the Dandelion had withered and dried up, yet unceasingly the wind blew them away. The petals have flown out of nowhere, and now there is only a round ball where the petals perch.
Mingyue opened the door. Everything was still the same, yet the atmosphere was so silent and gripping, that even fireflies were not in the courtyard and crickets suddenly did not want to sound.
Mingyue walked in and stopped looking at an arrow that was on the wall. He suddenly saw his little figure there jumping up and down wanting to reach for the bow and arrow that Chao Hao had picked up .
“Uncle, it belongs to Ming! Give it to me.”
“Yue’er, this is very dangerous.”
“No, it's harmless to me.”
Chao Hao shook his head slowly. “This is dangerous.”
“I said no, it's harmless. Uncle! Quickly give!”
Chao Hao then looked sharply towards Mingyue. His gaze clearly hinted at a firmness not to be able to.
Mingyue understood. He then looked down and his eyes glazed over. “If uncle does not give it, Ming will not force.”
“If it's big you can take it.”
“Emmm.”
...----------------...
...----------------...
“Uncle, I'll do it.”
Mingyue then made some arrows, put on black clothes with a veil and walked away from the house.
At that time, the Dandelion flowers that had lost the petals swayed gently, like wanting to say goodbye.
From the rain to the rain, Mingyue searched around for who had killed her uncle. He looked to places that provided various information and paid for anything he could provide, including his body.
Days passed and the day and night changed, various information Mingyue had obtained. During this quest, he also practiced archery and improved his physique.
At one time, he ended up getting a poison from someone he helped and would use it to kill that person.
Then he met a homeless girl sitting in front of a wall. Mingyue.
That girl is too dirty and dirty. It smells bad and cold.
When Mingyue came, the girl looked at him with a face full of suffering and hope to be fed. It was a very dirty face covered with black hair.
“kakak, do you have any food?”
Mingyue took off her robe, then enveloped it. Then he gave me some bread.
The girl was excited and ate it voraciously. After he finished asking again and Mingyue gave it to him.
“Who's sister's name?” Ask the girl.
Mingyue was stunned for a moment. “Mingyue.”
“Thank you brother Mingyue.” He then continued eating.
Hearing the girl ask her name, she recalled how Chao Hao gave her a name. It was also at night. Mingyue was cold and relied on a very dirty and smudged white cloth to warm her body.
Chao Hao came in his luxurious clothes and asked what his name was while giving a loaf of bread.
Mingyue shook her head and ate the bread voraciously. Although it was a flavorless bread, to him it was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten.
After eating, he said to Chao Hao, “I don't know my name, even I forgot who my parents are.”
“How about your name Mingyue. You have a charm like moon.”
“I don't have it, the moon is too beautiful for me.”
“No, I see it, you're like the moon. The one who will shine though has no light in the least.”
“So that master is.” Mingyue continued to eat the bread she had been given.
After she finished eating, Chao Hao offered to go with her. He said he would look after her and give her a home.”
Mingyue thought for a while and nodded.
Such was his encounter with the rich fat man who had helped him.
After getting late, the vagrant girl slept on his lap. Mingyue stroked her hair then left from there.
After a few more days, Mingyue finally found her enemy, she was none other than the Princess of the Su empire. He was not afraid of his enemy. Mingyue began to follow him silently.
When there was an opportunity, he recklessly stood on top of the tree and pulled his bow after the first plan to poison it had failed. Mingyue knew that if she failed, she would die, but this was an opportunity when there were no warriors beside her and moreover, she was unwilling to make the princess further tighten her guard. This is a stupid act.
Mingyue put up her son who had contained poison, then targeted the princess' head.
Although the distance was very far, what was in front of him felt very clear and even it was able to see the strands of Su Jiao's hair.
He held his breath and kept his balance. When one leaf fell, he let it go.
The arrow shot out piercing the leaves and pointed rapidly towards Su Jiao.
Mingyue looked on sharply.
