10、Double Ninth Festival 重阳节

Hi! My name is Huan Jing. I am a fierce warrior. I also know magic and spells. My job is to protect humanity. This is the story of the time I defeated a monster named Disaster.

A long time ago, I had a very wise teacher named Fei zhang Fang. I called him Master Fei. He knew a ton about magic, and I learned so much from him. Every day I would go to him, begging to be taught something new.

One day, Master Fei had a vision. He told me that a monster named Disaster was coming on the ninth day of the ninth month. It was going to destroy the village if we didn’t do anything.

“Huan Jing,” Master Fei said, “you will have to fight Disaster.”

“Me?” I asked, surprised. I had never fought a monster by myself before!

“Master, what if I am not strong enough? The village will be destroyed!

Why can’t you fight it?”

Master Fei replied, “I believe in you. I know you can do it. You are strong enough. I have been teaching you every day for many years, haven’t I?

You are ready. I’m getting too old to fight monsters. So, it has to be you.”

I sighed. Master was right. He had been teaching me many things for a long time. “Okay, Master,” I said. “What do I do?”

“Take these,” he replied. He gave me a bottle of wine. The wine was made from flowers called chrysanthemums. He also gave me a bag of leaves. They were from a plant that is used for medicine. “The villagers must drink the wine and hold the leaves. Disaster hates the smell. This will give you a chance to defeat him!”

I went to every house in the village. I told everyone to climb up the mountain. They needed to get to a high place to escape Disaster. Then, I gave them some wine to drink and some leaves to hold.

We all waited on the mountain. Suddenly, we heard a rumble in the distance. It was Disaster! He came into the village and began to tear apart the buildings. But nobody was there! Disaster looked around, confused. That’s when he saw us on the mountain!

The moment he saw us, his mouth opened wide. The loudest roar I have ever heard came booming out. ROAARRR!! But then he stopped and sniffed. He could smell the wine and the leaves. He made a disgusted face, and he froze where he was, stunned.

“WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!” he roared.

That was my chance! I ran at him as fast as I could. As I ran, my legs started to feel like they were floating. Huh? Oh! Of course! Master Fei was helping me with his magic! I floated up to Disaster, and I hit him with my sword three times. Disaster fell over, dead!

The villagers saw that I had won. They were overjoyed. The village was now safe! “Huan Jing! Huan Jing! Huan Jing!” they cheered.

So, that’s my story. I’m so proud that I defeated Disaster. People still celebrate that day every year. On the ninth day of the ninth month, people climb mountains. They also drink chrysanthemum wine. All to celebrate the day Disaster lost and the people were saved.

以下翻译来自百度翻译：

你好我叫黄静。我是一个勇猛的战士。我还懂魔法和咒语。我的工作是保护人类。这是我打败一个叫灾难的怪物的故事。

很久以前，我有一位非常聪明的老师，名叫费章芳。我叫他费师傅。他对魔法了如指掌，我从他身上学到了很多。每天我都会去找他，请求他教我一些新东西。

有一天，费大师有了一个幻觉。他告诉我，一个名叫灾难的怪物将在九月份的第九天到来。如果我们什么都不做，它会毁掉这个村庄。

“欢静，”费大师说，“你必须与灾难作斗争。”

“我？”我惊讶地问。我从来没有独自与怪物战斗过！

“师父，如果我不够强壮怎么办？村庄将被摧毁！

你为什么不能反抗？”

费大师回答道：“我相信你。我知道你能做到。你足够强壮。多年来我每天都在教你，不是吗？

你准备好了。我太老了，不能和怪物战斗了。所以，一定是你。”

我叹了口气。师父是对的。很长一段时间以来，他一直在教我很多东西。”“好的，主人，”我说我该怎么办？”

“拿着这些，”他回答。他给了我一瓶酒。这种酒是用菊花制成的。他还给了我一袋树叶。它们来自一种药用植物。”村民们必须喝葡萄酒，拿着树叶。祸不单行。这将给你一个击败他的机会！”

我去了村里的每家每户。我告诉大家爬上那座山。他们需要到高处躲避灾难。然后，我给了他们一些酒喝，一些树叶拿着。

我们都在山上等着。突然，我们听到远处传来隆隆声。这是一场灾难！他走进村子，开始拆毁建筑物。但是没有人在那里！灾难环顾四周，困惑不解。那是他在山上看到我们的时候！

他一看到我们，就张大了嘴。我听到过的最响亮的吼声是隆隆的。Roaarr！！但后来他停下来闻了闻。他能闻到酒和树叶的味道。他做了一张恶心的脸，呆在原地，目瞪口呆。

“那是什么味道？！”他咆哮着。

那是我的机会！我尽可能快地向他跑去。当我跑的时候，我的腿开始感觉像漂浮着一样。嗯？哦当然费大师在用他的魔法帮助我！我漂浮到灾难中，用我的剑打了他三次。灾难降临了，死了！

村民们看到我赢了。他们欣喜若狂。村子现在安全了！”欢静！欢静！欢静！”他们欢呼起来。

这就是我的故事。我很自豪我战胜了灾难。人们仍然每年庆祝这一天。在九月的第九天，人们爬山。他们也喝菊花酒。所有这些都是为了庆祝灾难失去和人民得救的那一天。
