舜王（即小龍女，嫘祖，如圖1）聽說堯皇去會稽縣超渡大禹去了；她認為那肯定會成功。這時堯皇都已經成佛二十多年了，理論醇熟。大禹在十年前就已經是入流果聖人了。舜王覺着她和牛郎分手的時間到了，就經常找家人文官和刺客哭訴，“對不起牛郎，對不起孩子！”

King Shun (aka. Little Dragoness, Lei Ancestor, see fig. 1) heard that White-king Yao had gone to Huiji County to transcendentally ferry Big Yu; she believed it would surely succeed. By this time, White-king Yao had attained Buddhahood over twenty years prior, her teachings thoroughly refined. Big Yu had attained the “entering stream fruit” Sage a decade prior. King Shun felt the time had come to part ways with Cowboy. She often sought out her family, Literary-Official and Assassin to lament, “I'm sorry for Cowboy. I'm being unfair to my children!”

刺客和文官商量：“我們倆只是勸說不行，應當有所行動，主動請求去刺殺大禹；這會讓小龍女感覺舒服些！”

文官同意了。小龍女也同意了，還給了他們倆一袋子銀子。文官和刺客就悄悄地離開了國務院，去刺殺大禹了。

Assassin and Literary-Official discussed, "Simply persuading her won't work; we should take action and volunteer to assassinate Big Yu. This will make Little Dragoness feel better!"

Literary-Official agreed. Little Dragoness also agreed and gave them a bag of silver. Assassin and Literary-Official then quietly left the State Council to assassinate Big Yu.

一天，女嬰哭喪着臉來找娥黃，說：“小龍女找我哭訴，說他對不起牛郎，對不起塵香和塵凡兩個孩子。我勸她不要那麼想，這一切都是身不由己。她就讓我去刺殺大禹。我說我要考慮一下再給她答覆。”

娥黃說：“你不能刺殺大禹，他是堯皇的教子，佛。我們龍國和小龍女沒關係；但我們喜歡佛。如果大禹死了，我們龍國人就不支持中華共和國了。那樣，中華共和國就崩潰了。”

One day, Heroine came to Beauty Yellow with a tearful face and said, "Little Dragoness came to me crying, saying that she was sorry to Cowboy and to her two children, Dust Scent and Dust Mortal. I advised her not to think like that, that it was all beyond her control. She then asked me to assassinate Big Yu. I said I would think about it and give her an answer later."

Beauty Yellow said, "You shouldn’t assassinate Big Yu. He is the godson of White-king Yao and a Buddha. Our Dragon Kingdom has no relation to Little Dragoness; but we admire Buddha. If Big Yu dies, we Dragon Kingdom people will no longer support the Republic of China. In that case, the Republic of China will collapse."

女嬰回答：“我知道！我們中國人是炎黃子孫。炎字代表炎帝，玉皇大帝。黃字代表黃帝，就是大禹。如果大禹死了，我們中國人就不是炎黃子孫了，就沒有龍的傳人了。但是小龍女讓我去！”

娥黃說：“你應該去！我發現這兩天文官和刺客不見了。我估計他倆和你一樣，是小龍女派去刺殺大禹了。你去看看，如果大禹有危險，你先把他們倆殺掉。”

Heroine replied, "I know! We Chinese are descendants of Yan Huang. The character 'Yan' represents Creator Yan, Turquoise White-king Great Creator. The character 'Huang' represents Creator Yellow, who is Big Yu. If Big Yu died, we Chinese would no longer be descendants of Yan Huang, and there would be no descendants of dragon. But little dragoness asked me to go!"

Beauty Yellow said, “You should go! I've noticed Assassin and Literary-Official have vanished these past two days. I suspect they were sent by Little Dragoness to assassinate Big Yu, just like you. Go check it out. If Big Yu is in danger, kill them both first.”

女嬰回答：“行！如果事情暴露了，你可得為我作證：我去找文官和刺客了。我沒有刺殺眾生之父的計劃！”

注，大禹是金童，亞當，和佛，是眾生之父。小龍女是夏娃，玉女，觀音菩薩，是眾生之母。

Heroine replied, “Agreed! If this plan is exposed, you must testify for me: I went to find Literary-Official and Assassin. I never planned to assassinate the father of all sentients!”

Note, Big Yu is the Gold Boy, Adam, and Buddha—the father of all sentients. Little Dragoness is Eve, Jade Girl, and Guanyin Bodhisattva—the mother of all sentients.

女嬰出發去找文官和刺客，在武漢市的邊境遇到了國防部的巡檢。一位警官認識女嬰，說幾句話後，她就過去了。

女嬰沒走多遠，那位她認識的官員追來了，說：“我剛才查閱了國務院的調度記錄，沒有關於你的調度通知。”

女嬰不明白，說：“我這是去XYZ走親戚，我沒去調度局登記。”

Heroine sets out to find the Literary-Official and Assassin. At the border of Wuhan City, she encountered a patrol team from the Ministry of National Defense. An officer recognized Heroine. After exchanging a few words, she passed through.

Heroine hadn't gone far when the official she knew caught up with her and said, "I just checked the State Council's dispatch records, and there's no dispatch notice for you."

Heroine didn't understand and said, "I'm going to visit relatives in XYZ. I didn't register with the dispatch bureau."

那位官員說：“國務院的新規定，我以為你知道呢！但凡國務院的工作人員出武漢，都需要有經由地官員或目的地官員的陪同。你跟我來看我們收到的國務院通知記錄。”

女嬰看了新規定後說：“我不知道這項新規定。”

那位官員說：“這樣吧！我們派人跟着你去走親戚，就不用上報了。”

The official said, "I thought you were aware of the State Council's new regulations! Any State Council staff member leaving Wuhan must be accompanied by an official from the transit point or the destination. Come with me to see the State Council's notification record that we received."

After reading the new regulations, Heroine said, "I don't know about these new regulations."

The official said, "How about this? We'll send someone with you when you visit your relatives, and we won't report it."

女嬰也沒辦法，她這是私自出行。如果被上報到國務院，她是向會稽縣的方向前進，就可能被懷疑是去找大禹的麻煩了。

女嬰到XYZ後，打聽了幾次一個不存在的人，然後對陪伴她的護衛說：“不找了，可能是那位親戚搬家了。我回家了。”

Heroine had no choice; she was traveling without permission. If it were reported to the State Council that she was heading towards Huiji County, she would be suspected of going to cause trouble for Big Yu.

After arriving in XYZ, Heroine inquired several times about a person who didn't exist. Then she told the guard accompanying her, "I'm not looking anymore. Maybe that relative has moved. I'm going home."

那位陪同她的護衛說：“我們護衛的工作有規定，必須把被保護的人交給他或她所認識的人。我必須陪你回家，把你交給你的家人。”

女嬰還是沒辦法脫身，就只能回家了。在家裡住了幾天后，她就回了國務院。

The guard accompanying her said, "Our job is to hand over the person we are protecting to someone he or she knows. I must accompany you home and hand you over to your family."

Heroine still couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to go home. After staying at home for a few days, she returned to the State Council.

話說文官和刺客在回會稽縣的路上，剛進入會稽縣的地界，就遇見了警察在執行任務。會稽縣是文官和刺客的老家，當地的警察他們倆都認識。出於好奇，他們倆想看看這些警察是在保護誰。他倆就在主街的路口看着。很快，他倆就看見大禹在逐個商店找工作。

他們倆上前問大禹：“你怎麼來這裡了？”

Heroine and the assassin were on their way back to Kuaiji County when, upon entering the county's territory, they encountered police on a mission. Kuaiji County was their hometown, and they both knew the local police. Out of curiosity, they wanted to see who the police were protecting. They stood at the main street intersection and watched. Soon, they saw Big Yu going from shop to shop looking for work.

The two men approached Big Yu and asked, "Why are you here?"

大禹回答：“我想去武漢（找舜王），沒錢了，我得打工賺路費！”

文官和刺客炫耀地拍着馬上的銀袋子說：“你的兩位小叔，我們倆發財了！走！二位叔叔請你去最好的飯店吃飯！”

Big Yu replied, "I want to go to Wuhan (to visit King Shun), but I'm out of money. I need to work to earn money for the journey!"

Literary-Official and Assassin proudly patted the silver pouches on their horses, boasting, “Your two little uncles here have struck it rich! Come on! Your two little uncles are treating you to the finest restaurant!”

大禹從小就羨慕文官和刺客有錢，他倆也從不對大禹吝嗇，常請大禹去飯店吃飯。大禹非常喜歡白吃他們倆的飯。

此時大禹約三十歲，文官和刺客的年齡也不算大，都才四十多歲。他們老朋友相見，說笑着進了當地最好的飯店。

Since childhood, Big Yu had envied Literary-Official and Assassin for their wealth. They two were never stingy with Big Yu, often inviting him to dine at restaurants. Big Yu thoroughly enjoyed freeloading off their meals.

At this time, Big Yu was about thirty years old, and neither Literary-Official nor Assassin was particularly old, both in their forties. The old friends met, chatting and laughing as they entered the finest restaurant in town.
